Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

After leaving Da Sha Valley, Jiang Chuan and his two companions continued their journey towards Honglian Island.

The next destination is the port.

You can only reach Crimson Lotus Island by boat from there.

And this journey is not short.

The route passes through several areas where wild Pokémon are found.

Jiang Chuan was naturally not idle; he was frantically leveling up, after all, the Crimson Lotus Gym was a high-level gym.

After several days of rapid travel, Jiang Chuan also checked the stats of each Pokémon in his mind.

[Pokémon: Pikachu, Level: lv53→lv54]

[Pokémon: Venusaur, Level: lv52→lv52]

[Pokémon: Pidgeot, Level: lv43→lv44]

[Pokémon: Wartortle → Blastoise, Level: lv36 → lv38]

[Pokémon: Charizard, Level: lv53→lv54]

[Pokémon: Infernape, Level: lv39→lv40]

(Number of uses of Perfect Fist of Wrath: 16)

[Sprite: Ancient Fossil Pterodactyl, Level: lv46→lv47]

[Pokémon: Dratini, Level: lv13→lv15]

[Pokémon: Zapdos, Level: lv65]

Except for Zapdos, which was too high to be touched, every other one of them has been upgraded to some extent.

Jiang Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

This is good progress.

The gym on Cinnabar Island is a high-level gym, and the gym leader's strength is far superior to those of the others.

If you don't level up more, you'll be at a disadvantage when it comes to fighting.

"Okay, that's all for today."

Jiang Chuan put away the Poké Ball, leaving only Pikachu at his feet.

The two of them, along with their pet, headed towards the camp.

The campfire at the campsite has been lit.

The orange-red flames flickered in the twilight.

Hanako was squatting by the campfire, holding a spoon and gently stirring the thick soup in the pot.

Steam rose in wisps.

The aroma wafted around the campsite.

She was dressed in a plain-colored travel outfit, with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, revealing a section of her fair arm.

The stray hairs on her forehead were dampened by the heat and stuck to her forehead; she would occasionally raise the back of her hand to wipe them away.

Her movements were gentle yet skillful.

Ibrahimovic and Hakkar stayed by her side, their eyes fixed on the soup in the pot, occasionally licking their lips.

"You're back?"

Hanako looked up and smiled at Egawa.

"We finished work earlier today than yesterday."

"Hmm, things were very efficient today."

Jiang Chuan walked over and sat down by the campfire.

Pikachu jumped off his shoulder and ran to lie down next to Eevee.

The two little ones lay side by side, their ears twitching.

Hanako scooped up a small spoonful of soup, blew on it, and brought it to Jiangchuan's lips.

"Try it."

Jiang Chuan took a sip.

"Just the right amount of salt."

Hanako's face was slightly flushed by the firelight.

Jiang Chuan glanced around.

"Where's Xiaoxia?"

Hanako pointed to a spot not far away.

"Over there, looking at her eggs again."

Jiang Chuan looked in that direction.

Xiaoxia was sitting on a large rock next to the campsite.

Legs crossed.

He was holding the Togepi egg in his arms.

The usually boisterous little girl who was always arguing with him was unusually quiet at this moment.

She lowered her head, her eyes fixed on the egg in her arms.

My fingers gently rubbed the surface of the eggshell.

They moved very carefully.

It's like caressing something the most precious thing in the world.

His mouth was still moving slightly.

I wonder what they're whispering to the egg.

That expression.

That expression.

Jiang Chuan raised an eyebrow.

When did Xia become so maternal?

He stood up and walked over quietly.

Xiaoxia was so focused that she didn't notice him getting closer.

He was still muttering to himself with his head down.

"Baby, you have to be a good boy/girl..."

"How about I tell you a story?"

"Once upon a time, there was a very powerful Water-type Pokémon..."

"It swims freely in the sea..."

"One day it met an exceptionally good trainer..."

Jiang Chuan almost burst out laughing when he heard this.

He stopped behind Xiaoxia.

Bend down.

He leaned close to her ear.

Suddenly, a sentence came out.

"Ouch."

"It's rare to see you so honest."

Xiaoxia was startled.

I was jolted awake.

He suddenly turned around, still holding the egg.

Upon seeing that it was Jiang Chuan, she first breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately puffed out her cheeks.

He raised his chin.

His eyes widened.

He put on an arrogant expression.

"Of course!"

"This is my first time hatching a Pokémon egg, so I have to be very careful!"

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and whispered to the egg in her arms.

"Baby, you must hatch healthy."

"Your older sister is waiting to see you."

Her tone was so gentle, a stark contrast to her previous one.

Jiang Chuan found her appearance quite amusing.

"Sister?" Jiang Chuan sat down next to her and tilted his head to look at her.

"Your generation isn't right."

Xiaoxia looked up and thought for a moment: "But we haven't gotten the official certificate yet, I can't exactly be a mother!"

"Let's go with the older sister!"

After saying that, she gently ran her fingers across the eggshell, her voice growing softer and softer.

Jiang Chuan sat beside him and watched.

The firelight shone on her face.

The camera captured the focused yet gentle expression on her face clearly.

You really can't tell from normal circumstances.

This girl has this side to her too.

Just as Xiaoxia was gently stroking the eggshell, suddenly!

A soft, crisp sound.

Xiaoxia's hand stopped.

Her pupils dilated suddenly.

I felt completely frozen in place. I even held my breath.

"Click." Another sound.

A thin crack appeared on the eggshell.

Xiaoxia gasped. Her voice cracked.

"It's coming! Jiang Chuan! It's coming!"

"Jiangchuan!"

"It's coming out!"

She was so nervous that her whole body was trembling, but she held the egg steadily in both hands.

Not moving.

Jiang Chuan also came over.

More and more cracks appeared on the eggshell, spreading like a spider web, and a beam of white light shone through the cracks.

Then, a crack appeared at the top of the eggshell.

A small, pointed corner peeked out first.

Next is the whole body, round and plump, like a small ball with spiky edges.

Togepi is out!

It tilted its head.

Looking at Xiaoxia.

blinked.

She called out in a childish voice.

Xiaoxia held Togepi in both hands, extremely excited.

"Ahhhhh!"

A scream pierced the night sky.

Jiang Chuan was almost deafened by her voice.

"Jiang Chuan! Look, look!"

Xiaoxia jumped up and lifted Togepi in front of Jiang Chuan.

"Our baby has been born!"

As soon as those words were spoken...

The air was quiet for a second.

Hanako, who was serving soup in the distance, paused for a moment.

She turned her head.

She glanced at the Togepi in Xiaoxia's hand.

Then he smiled and shook his head.

Look back.

Continue serving the soup.

Jiang Chuan was amused by Xiaoxia's words.

"Our child?"

Xiaoxia was so excited that she didn't even care what she was saying.

She held Pokopf in her hands and brought it close to her eyes to examine it closely.

Pokerby tilted his head to look at her.

Two big eyes facing two big eyes.

Xiaoxia was almost in tears.

"So cute..."

"so cute……"

"How can there be such adorable Pokémon in the world..."

She held Pokokby and spun him around several times.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something.

Then he lifted Pokémon up in front of Jiangchuan.

"Jiang Chuan, come here quickly!"

"Aren't you going to come and see our baby?"

She didn't realize what she was saying.

Or perhaps she simply didn't have time to think about the wording at that moment.

My mind is filled with Pogee, Pogee, Pogee.

Jiang Chuan stood up and leaned over with a smile.

"Oh? You like babies that much."

"We can do it tonight..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Xiaoxia was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed red. She freed one hand and gently patted Jiang Chuan's chest.

"Hate!"

"I was talking about this Pokémon!"

"No lewd talk right now!"

"We'll talk about it tonight!"

She withdrew her hand and held Pokopi protectively in her arms.

He even deliberately turned to the side to block Togepi's view.

It's as if Pogepi might have overheard what Jiang Chuan just said.

"Don't corrupt this baby!"

Jiang Chuan was amused by her protective attitude.

Xiaoxia blushed and glared at him.

Then they focused all their attention back on Togepi.

"Baby, be good, baby."

"You didn't hear anything that bad older brother said just now."

"Your older sister will protect you."

Jiang Chuan smiled and shook his head.

I didn't tease her anymore.

He mentally brought up Togepi's panel.

The system previously rewarded him with an ability: this Togepi's friendship level is shared between him and Misty.

Therefore, he can directly view Pokerby's data.

[Pokémon: Togepi]

[Attribute: Fairy]

[Level: lv1 (Baby Level)]

[Potential: King-level]

【Trait: Super Luck – Because of its super luck, attacks are more likely to hit the opponent's vital points.】

[Skills: Slapping, Shouting, Finger Strike.]

【Items to bring: None】

[Special Enhancement: None]

Jiang Chuan raised an eyebrow.

King-level potential.

That's quite unexpected.

The Super Luck trait is extremely rare, greatly increasing the chance of hitting a critical point.

The probability of dealing critical damage is much higher than that of normal traits.

The most crucial skill is that finger-waving technique.

Born with the ability to wield fingers.

This skill is highly random, as it can randomly select one skill from all available skills to unleash.

What you get depends entirely on luck.

If you're lucky, even a level 1 Togepi can roll a Hyper Beam.

Combined with its super lucky trait, this thing will become a walking critical strike machine.

When it evolves into Togekiss in the future, it will have a high HP bar, a deep skill pool, and be able to deal damage, withstand attacks, and provide support.

Xiaoxia is a water-type specialist trainer.

When the opponent sees her, their first reaction will definitely be to prepare tactics to target water-based opponents.

As a result, she pulled out a Tokiss.

The tactical surprise alone is enough to give the opponent a hard time.

...............

Although this egg wasn't the legendary water-type Pokémon she had been talking about, Togepi's cuteness had clearly won her over.

Xiaoxia held Togepi tightly, unable to put it down.

They wouldn't put it down even while eating.

She sat by the campfire, with Togepi on her lap.

One hand is holding a bowl.

With his other hand, he would occasionally pat Togepi's head.

"Come on, baby, have something to eat."

She scooped up a small spoonful of the soft, paste-like food that Hanako had specially prepared.

It's cooled down.

Carefully bring it to Togepi's mouth.

Togepi opened its little mouth.

"Awoo."

Eat it in one bite.

Then he happily swayed his body.

Xiaoxia watched it eat and forgot to eat her own meal.

The smile on her face never faded.

Hanako sat opposite her, and seeing Xia's expression, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Xiaoxia, you should eat some too."

"The food is getting cold."

"Oh, right, right, right."

Xiaoxia then realized that she hadn't eaten yet.

She shoveled a mouthful of rice into her mouth.

I chewed it twice.

Then he bent down and fed Pokémon another bite.

Take a bite yourself.

Feed Pokémon a bite.

It took twice as long as usual to finish a meal.

After finishing her meal, Xiaoxia was even more excited.

"Baby, come on, let me show you some new friends!"

She picked up Togepi and ran to where she kept her Poké Balls.

Several water-type Pokémon were released.

"Everyone, come here!"

Let me introduce you!

Xiaoxia praised PokerBee highly.

"That's Togepi!"

"A new member to our family!"

"You must take good care of it from now on!"

After introducing her Pokémon, Misty ran to Hanako with Togepi in her arms.

"Hanako-neechan! Look!"

Hanako put down what she was doing and looked down at Togepi.

He reached out and gently tapped Togepi's little belly with his finger.

Pokerb curled up, itching.

"It's so cute." Hanako smiled gently. "Xia, you have to take good care of it from now on."

"Of course!"

Xiaoxia called Ibu over again.

Ibrahimovic leaned closer and sniffed Togepi.

Then it wagged its tail.

Finally, there's Jiangchuan's Pikachu.

Pikachu walked over, tilted its head, and looked at the little guy.

Pokobi tilted its head to look at it too.

The two Pokémon stared at each other for a few seconds.

Then Togepi stretched out its little paws, trying to touch Pikachu's ears.

Pikachu didn't dodge.

Instead, he moved his head closer.

The little ones quickly became friends.

Togepi is only a newborn, but he has a very well-behaved personality.

Don't cry or make a fuss.

When someone comes over to tease it, it tilts its head and looks at that person.

Occasionally, it makes a babyish, soft cry.

Xia was overjoyed to see how quickly Pokobi had integrated into the family.

She squatted down beside them, resting her chin on her hands, watching Togepi play with Pikachu and Eevee with a silly grin on her face.

This excitement lasted until evening.

Night fell, and the campfire was extinguished. The campsite fell silent.

Xiaoxia sat in front of her tent, holding Pokobi in her arms.

Only then did her thoughts slowly begin to shift away from Togepi.

Because she suddenly thought of something.

During the daytime.

The words Jiang Chuan whispered in her ear.

"If you like babies so much, we can..."

At the time, she was completely preoccupied with Togepi and didn't think about it at all.

It's quiet now.

That sentence is like it has grown legs.

It ran back into her mind.

Play it over and over again.

Xiaoxia's face gradually burned, and she bit her lower lip.

Although she had formally rejected Jiang Chuan during the day.

But now that it's late at night, those suppressed thoughts are like a ball that's been submerged in water; as soon as you let go, they bounce back up.

She missed Jiang Chuan, and not just a little.

She looked down at Pokopie in her arms.

The little guy yawned, his eyelids drooping.

Sleepy.

Xiaoxia took a deep breath.

Picking up Togepi, I tiptoed to the small tent where Pikachu and Eevee lived.

She crouched down and lifted the tent flap.

Pikachu and Eevee are snuggling together.

Eevee's large, fluffy tail lay spread out beside him.

The two little ones heard the noise and looked up.

"Pikachu?"

"Buyi?"

Xiaoxia gently placed Togepi into the tent, lowered her voice, and spoke in a coaxing tone as if to a child.

"Togepi, you can stay in this tent with Eevee and Pikachu tonight."

"They will take care of you."

Togepi was so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open, but he still nodded obediently.

Xiaoxia patted its head again.

"My sister's going to deal with a big bad guy tonight!"

"You have to be good."

"Listen to Pikachu and Eevee!"

She paused, her expression becoming very serious.

"You absolutely mustn't come with your sister!"

Togepi nodded dazedly, then burrowed into Eevee's tail.

Eevee raised its fluffy tail, pulled Togepi into its arms, and then covered Togepi with its tail.

Pikachu also moved over there.

The three little ones huddled together and began to rest.

Xiaoxia lowered the curtain, stood up, and then turned around.

His gaze fell on Jiang Chuan's tent.

Her heart started beating faster, and she tiptoed toward Jiang Chuan's tent.

He took two steps, then stopped.

He glanced guiltily at Hanako's tent.

Hanako's tent was quiet and still.

The lights are off.

There was no movement.

Xiaoxia breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I felt like I was being so pathetic.

Not the first time.

Feeling guilty? What do you mean by feeling guilty?

But despite her thoughts, she still acted furtively.

Crouching low.

Standing on tiptoe.

He kept looking back as he took a step.

When she reached the entrance of Jiangchuan's tent, she took a deep breath and placed her hand on the curtain.

He glanced back at Hanako's tent to make sure there was nothing amiss.

Then, with a quick movement, he slipped inside in a flash.
