Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

Jiang Chuan slept really well.

This sleep washed away all my previous fatigue.

After washing up and changing his clothes, Jiang Chuan tucked the Venusaur's Poké Ball back into his waistband, pushed open the door, and went out.

In the lobby of the Pokémon Center, Hanako and Misty were already waiting.

Miss Joy was standing behind the counter, examining a trainer's Rattata.

When she saw Jiang Chuan come out, Hanako smiled and waved.

"Jiang Chuan, over here!"

Jiang Chuan walked over and glanced at Xiaoxia.

Xiaoxia was holding Pokobi in her arms and playing with it.

Pokerbill giggled and patted Xia's cheeks with his little hands.

"Is everything packed?"

Jiang Chuan asked a question.

"Mmm, I've been all packed for ages!" Xiaoxia looked up. "I've been waiting for you, you lazybones!"

Jiang Chuan smiled and didn't refute.

He walked up to the counter and handed his three Poké Balls to Miss Nurse Joy.

"Miss Joey, could you please check it again for me?"

Miss Joy took the Poké Ball and placed it on the device.

All three lights are on, all displaying a healthy green.

"They're all in great shape, especially Venusaur, who's in exceptionally good condition."

Miss Joy smiled and returned the Poké Ball to Jiang Chuan.

"Thanks."

Jiang Chuan retrieved the Poké Ball and thanked them.

"By the way, are you leaving today?"

Miss Joey asked.

"Yes, let's prepare to continue our journey to Crimson Lotus Island." Jiang Chuan nodded.

"Then I wish you a safe journey."

Miss Joey bowed slightly.

The three said goodbye to Nurse Joy and left the Pokémon Center.

The scenery in the Incredible Garden area is completely different during the day and at night.

The sunlight shone on the flowers, and the various colors intertwined, making them exceptionally beautiful.

But Xiaoxia had no interest in appreciating it at all.

She held Togepi tightly, her eyes warily scanning her surroundings.

"Let's go quickly!"

Xiaoxia urged.

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw how nervous she looked.

"What are you afraid of? Last night is over, the incredible party is over."

Xiaoxia glanced at him and shook her head.

"Does anyone know if there are any other strange elves here!"

"I'm not afraid, I'm protecting Togepi!"

As she spoke, she pulled Togepi closer to her.

Pokerby was a little uncomfortable from being strangled and let out two cries.

Hanako watched from the side, covering her mouth and chuckling softly.

The three of them followed the path they had come from and headed towards the outer edge of the Mysterious Garden.

On the way, Hanako asked.

"Jiangchuan, is Venusaur really okay?"

She wanted to ask last night, but seeing that Jiang Chuan was too tired, she didn't ask any further.

"No problem, it's great!"

Jiang Chuan smiled as soon as he mentioned this.

"Not only have my injuries fully healed, but I've also gained quite a few benefits."

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

The three chatted as they walked out of the Incredible Garden.

Those enormous flowers and bizarre plants were gradually left behind.

Instead, there were ordinary woods and grasslands.

Xiaoxia finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her arms that were holding Togepi.

"They're finally out!"

She glanced back at the forest behind her.

"That place was so weird, I never want to go there again!"

Jiang Chuan smiled but didn't reply.

He actually thought that place was quite nice.

He would like to go again next time he has the chance.

Maybe I can even get some more benefits.

However, he didn't say it aloud.

Knowing Xiaoxia as he does, he knows she would definitely get furious if he told her.

After leaving the Incredible Garden, the three continued their journey.

Today's schedule is clearly arranged.

We crossed this area and made our way to the dock.

Then take a ship to Crimson Lotus Island.

This journey is not short.

It will probably take most of the day to walk there.

At first, Xiaoxia was quite energetic.

I carried Togepi ahead, occasionally pointing out the Pokémon along the roadside to Togepi.

"Togepi, look! That's an Oddish!"

"That's Paralas!"

"That is..."

Pokerby didn't seem to understand, he just kept laughing.

After walking for about two or three hours.

Xiaoxia's spirits were clearly low.

My pace slowed down, and I spoke less.

It went from the very front to the very back.

She looked listless, like a flower wilted by the sun.

"I'm so tired..."

Xiaoxia complained, drawing out her words.

"How much further?"

Jiang Chuan looked at the map.

"It's still early. At this pace, it will take at least three or four more hours."

"Ah?" Xiaoxia cried out in pain, "That long?"

Hanako smiled and comforted her, "Hang in there, we'll be there soon."

Xiaoxia hung her head, just as she was about to be unable to walk any further.

At the end of the road ahead, a blue sea appeared.

Xiaoxia's eyes lit up immediately.

My body felt like it had been injected with stimulants.

She suddenly stood up straight.

Then, holding Togepi, he rushed straight towards the sea.

The speed was so fast that even Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment.

Just a moment ago he looked like he was about to die.

The moment they see water, they are fully revitalized.

He even suspected that Xiaoxia might have some hidden characteristics.

For example, something like "recovers when wet".

Hanako watched Kasumi's retreating figure and couldn't stop laughing.

"Xiaoxia really likes water."

"After all, he's from Cerulean City."

Jiang Chuan shrugged.

The two quickened their pace and headed towards the dock.

Before long, the dock came into full view.

This is a medium-sized dock.

Various kinds of ships were moored there.

There are fishing boats, yachts, and large passenger ships.

Next to the dock are rows of shops selling all kinds of local specialties and snacks, as well as elf supplies.

There is a large flow of people.

Bustling and noisy.

Trainers and ordinary tourists were everywhere.

Xiaoxia was already standing on the dock, her arms outstretched towards the sea.

"Sunshine! Beach! Ship! Yay!"

She shouted loudly.

The togepi in her arms also raised its hand.

The two, one human and one pet, moved in remarkably synchronized manner.

Jiang Chuan walked over and patted her on the shoulder.

"Alright, stop shouting, let's go buy the tickets first."

There is an electronic display screen next to the ticket office.

The above displays today's ship schedule information.

Jiang Chuan glanced at it.

This is the last ship to depart today.

There was a long queue in front of the ticket window.

It extends all the way to the square.

Judging by the length of that line, it will take at least half an hour to get through.

"So many people..."

Xia frowned as she looked at the long queue.

"How long will the wait be?"

Jiang Chuan looked around.

A special window for VIP tickets was discovered.

There were only a few people scattered around in front of that window.

Jiang Chuan walked straight over there.

Xiaoxia quickly followed, saying, "Jiang Chuan, that's the VIP area..."

"Yes, I'll buy VIP." Jiang Chuan said straightforwardly.

Jiang Chuan now has a net worth of several million yuan, and after Xiaoxia's sister learned about Xiaoxia's relationship with Jiang Chuan, she increased Xiaoxia's living expenses.

I'm traveling now, and my finances are great.

There's no need to plan everything like we did when we first started.

There were very few people queuing at the VIP window.

It was only a few minutes before it was their turn.

"Three VIP rooms, Crimson Lotus Island."

Jiang Chuan handed over the card.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The ticket seller took the card and quickly processed it.

Soon, three golden tickets were handed out.

"VIP room ticket, please keep it safe. Have a pleasant journey."

Jiang Chuan took the tickets and gave them to Hua Zi and Xiao Xia.

Xiaoxia was excited again as she held the VIP ticket.

"Wow! A VIP suite! I've never been in a VIP cabin on a ship before!"

She spun Togepi around in her arms.

Hanako smiled and put the ticket away.

The three of them passed through the ticket gate and boarded the ship.

This ship is very large.

There are three decks.

The ordinary cabins were at the bottom, packed with people.

Some people who couldn't get a seat sat on the floor.

Some were even crammed into the aisle.

It was as bustling as a vegetable market.

The VIP level is completely different.

A private elevator took them directly up.

Upon exiting, you are greeted by a spacious and bright corridor.

The floor was covered with a carpet.

Artworks are hanging on the wall.

It's a completely different world from the ordinary cabins below.

"Wow!"

Xia's eyes were glued to the screen.

"This is so luxurious!"

Jiang Chuan found his room number and swiped his card.

The door opened, revealing a spacious single room.

A big bed.

A separate bathroom.

There is also a large floor-to-ceiling window that offers a direct view of the sea.

Xiaoxia's room is next door.

As soon as she entered the room, she grabbed Togepi and rushed to the window.

"Pokeby, look! It's the ocean!"

Togepi lay on the glass, its eyes wide open, barking happily.

Hanako's room is on the other side.

After she went into the room and put her things down, she came to find Jiang Chuan.

The three of them stood by the window looking at the sea.

The sunlight shone on the sea, making it sparkle.

The sea breeze blew in through the open window, carrying a faint salty smell, which was very comforting.

"We've started our journey by ship, so let's get some rest today."

Jiang Chuan stretched.

"No need to train Pokémon or travel, it's a rare moment of leisure."

Xiaoxia was even happier when she heard this.

"I'm taking Togepi to the VIP cafeteria!"

She already knew that the seafood in the VIP cafeteria was all-you-can-eat!

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Jiang Chuan waved his hand.

Xiaoxia, holding Togepi, ran out excitedly.

Only Jiang Chuan and Hua Zi remained in the room.

Jiang Chuan turned to look at Hanako.

Hanako happened to be looking over as well.

Their eyes met.

Hanako's face immediately turned red.

Jiang Chuan walked to Hua Zi's side and naturally placed his hand on her waist.

Hanako's body stiffened slightly, but she did not dodge.

"Xiaoxia went to eat and won't be back for a long time."

Jiang Chuan leaned close to Hanako's ear and whispered something.

Hanako's ears turned bright red instantly.

She certainly understood what Jiang Chuan meant.

"Um."

Hanako lowered her head and responded softly.

The sound was so soft it was almost inaudible.

Jiang Chuan felt even more aroused when he saw Hanako's shy expression.

He reached out and pulled Hanako closer to him.

Hanako obediently leaned against Jiangchuan.

The two of them stood there embracing, looking out the window at the sea for a while.

The sun has begun to set.

The golden afterglow spilled onto the sea.

It dyed the entire sea surface a warm color.

The sky gradually darkened.

Hanako lifted her head from Jiangchuan's arms.

"I'll go check on Xiaoxia."

"See if she's back yet."

Jiang Chuan released his grip.

"OK."

Hanako left the room and headed towards the VIP cafeteria.

In the cafeteria, Xiaoxia was sitting at a table.

A variety of seafood was laid out in front of me.

Crab, prawn, scallop, oyster.

The table was piled high with food.

Pokopf sat in the chair next to him, with a small plate in front of him.

Xia ate by herself while serving Pocoby.

One person and one pet, enjoying their meal immensely.

Hanako walked over.

"Xiaoxia".

Xia looked up and saw that it was Hua Zi, who had a shrimp in her mouth.

"Hanako-nee! You should try some too! This shrimp is super delicious!"

Hanako smiled and sat down opposite her.

"I'll eat later, I just wanted to check on you first."

Xiaoxia didn't think much of it and continued to eat heartily.

After a while, Hanako stood up.

"Xiaoxia, you can eat slowly first. I'm going back to rest."

"Okay, sure!"

Xiaoxia waved her hand, her mouth stuffed full.

Hanako left the cafeteria and, after confirming that Xia would be eating for a while, went back to her room first. Then, she tiptoed to Jiangchuan's room, looked around, and found the corridor empty.

Hanako took a deep breath, raised her hand, and gently knocked on the door.

Jiang Chuan tossed the magazine aside, went to the door to open it, and before Hanako could even speak...

Jiang Chuan immediately reached out and put his arm around Hanako's waist.

He pulled her into the room.

Hanako let out a soft cry and fell into Jiang Chuan's arms.

Jiang Chuan closed the door with his foot and looked down at Hanako in his arms.

"Is Xiaoxia still eating?"

"Hmm...she's still eating..."

Hanako's voice trembled slightly.

Jiang Chuan looked at Hua Zi's outfit today.

It looks very conservative.

A pink jacket, a yellow inner layer, and casual pants are all very everyday and ordinary outfits.

"Didn't you say you wanted to dress up nicely and let loose with me?"

Jiang Chuan leaned close to Hanako's ear and whispered with a chuckle.

Hanako raised her hand and gently patted Jiang Chuan's chest.

"Don't rush..."

As she spoke, she gently lifted the hem of her skirt.

A section of her calf was visible beneath the hem of her skirt.

She was wearing a pair of exquisite patterned black stockings.

These aren't ordinary pure black stockings.

Instead, it has a subtle pattern on it.

Under the light, the patterns appeared and disappeared.

It exudes an indescribable sense of maturity.

Jiang Chuan's eyes lit up immediately.

"Yo~"

"Underpants stockings."

"And it's a style I've never seen you wear before."

Jiang Chuan raised his head and looked at Hanako.

Hanako blushed even more under his gaze. She pursed her lips: "I knew you were a big pervert...you like this kind of thing..."

Her voice grew softer and softer, and her head bowed lower and lower.

Jiang Chuan laughed heartily.

He picked Hanako up in one swift motion.

Hanako gasped and instinctively wrapped her arms around Jiangchuan's neck.

"Then I'll have to appreciate and savor it properly."

Jiang Chuan, holding Hanako, turned and walked towards the bed, laying Hanako down on it.

Dim the lights.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became ambiguous.

The sound of the waves outside the window surged in waves.

The night is still long.

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

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Jiang Chuan opened his eyes and saw that Hua Zi had already gotten up and was mopping the floor with her back to him, her movements very light and careful.

"Hanako."

He called out.

Hanako turned around and glanced at him.

Then I turned back and continued mopping the floor.

"woke up?"

"Um."

Jiang Chuan said with a smile.

"You are so virtuous."

"I got up early this morning to tidy up the room."

He watched Hanako's retreating figure and continued speaking.

"But this is in the VIP cabin."

"Someone will come to clean it up in a little while."

"You were so tired last night, why didn't you get some more sleep?"

Hanako did not turn around.

But Jiang Chuan could see that her ears were red.

"No way! How can I let someone else clean this up..."

Her voice carried a hint of shyness as she continued moving the mop in her hand.

"We'll see..."

Hanako's voice became even softer.

"What if the cleaning staff arrives late..."

"Xiaoxia will definitely come looking for you when she wakes up."

If she sees this...

"I'm so embarrassed..."

Jiang Chuan lay on the bed, listening to Hua Zi's words, and his smile deepened.

We've already collaborated once before.

Hanako is still so shy. It seems I need to find more opportunities for Hanako and Kasumi to get to know each other better and get used to each other.

As Jiang Chuan watched Hanako's alluring figure disappear into the distance, his mind began to contemplate future entertainment activities...
