Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

"What kind of power is this?"

Blair's voice boomed throughout the entire underground space.

He stared at the Blastoise on the other side of the field.

The shock in his eyes was impossible to hide.

"Isn't your Blastoise roughly elite level?"

"How can the damage be so high?"

The scene was still replaying in Xia Bo's mind.

One water cannon shot.

Just one shot.

He had painstakingly trained the Nine-Tails for so long, with a specially enhanced waterproof system and mysterious protective enhancements, yet it couldn't even withstand a single attack.

That's completely unreasonable.

Jiang Chuan looked at Xia Bo's astonished expression and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He shrugged.

His tone was very casual.

"Sherlock, your Nine-Tails' special Iron Tail skill just now must have been extraordinary."

"You have special training, so naturally I have special training too."

Jiang Chuan spoke casually, as if it were just a trivial matter.

Xia Bo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, the shock on his face slowly turning into a relieved smile.

"All right."

"I underestimated you, a rookie trainer."

He sighed.

"I never expected that a rookie trainer would have special training skills."

When Chapman said this, there was a hint of self-deprecation in his tone.

He's lived to be this old and has seen countless trainers.

There are very few people who can misjudge him.

This kid in front of me is one of them.

Blaine took a Poké Ball from his waist and aimed it at Ninetales, which was lying on the ground.

A beam of red light retracted the Nine-Tailed Fox.

He looked down at the Poké Ball in his hand.

Then she raised her head and her gaze fell back on Jiang Chuan.

"But this is a high-level dojo."

Bob's voice became steady.

"Your challenge isn't over yet."

After saying that, he turned to face the scorching lava in the center of the arena and waved his hand.

"Come out."

"My Flame Ace".

The magma began to churn violently.

Bubbles rose from the depths.

A figure engulfed in flames slowly rose from the lava.

It stood on the surface of the magma, as if it were standing on flat ground.

Its body is covered with orange-red skin with flowing flame-like patterns.

Its mouth protrudes like a duck's bill.

It has long arms and sharp claws.

Its tail swung in the air, sending up a trail of sparks.

Duckbill fire dragon.

At the edge of the field, Xiaoxia stared wide-eyed, her mouth agape.

"Edward's dragon... it can actually live in lava!"

Her voice was full of disbelief.

Hanako was also stunned.

His eyes were fixed on the elf that emerged from the lava.

"This is way too outrageous..."

"The magma is so hot, yet it's completely unharmed."

Joy said softly, "Charizard is a Pokémon that lives in volcanic areas and its body can withstand extremely high temperatures. But it's really rare to see one that can be directly immersed in lava."

Jiang Chuan's gaze fell on the duckbill fire dragon.

[Pokémon: Charizard]

[Level: lv51]

Dojo level.

It's two whole levels higher than the previous Nine-Tailed Fox.

Moreover, the aura of this duck-billed fire dragon was almost completely integrated with the magma.

In this arena, its potential is definitely more than just the numbers on paper.

Xia Bo saw Jiang Chuan examining his duckbill fire dragon and a smug look appeared on his face.

"How is it?"

"My old buddy is doing alright, isn't he?"

His tone was tinged with pride.

This Charizard is one of his most prized Pokémon.

I've been with him for many years.

They have been through countless battles.

In the volcanic environment of Crimson Lotus Island, its power can be maximized.

Jiang Chuan nodded, raised his hand, and recalled Blastoise.

Bob was stunned when he saw this.

"You...you took Blastoise back?"

His brow furrowed.

His face was full of incomprehension.

"Water-based attacks are advantageous against fire-based attacks, why aren't you using them?"

Bob genuinely found it strange.

He had also witnessed the power of Blastoise's water cannon attack.

If you continue to use Blastoise against Magmar, the type advantage combined with its terrifying damage will have a good effect.

Why would this kid give up his advantage?

Jiang Chuan shook the Poké Ball in his hand.

His facial expression was calm.

"Fighting battles where you have the advantage will not lead to improvement."

"This is not the kind of training and enhancement I wanted."

He spoke with a very serious expression.

It seems that it really is all about pursuing some kind of spiritual realm.

When Chaper heard this...

He was stunned for a moment.

Then I burst out laughing.

Laughter echoed through the empty underground space.

"Hahaha!"

"What an arrogant brat!"

His eyes lit up.

The wrinkles on her face smiled.

"But I like it!"

"I admire trainers with such charisma as you."

"Speak loudly," said Bob.

His voice was filled with genuine appreciation.

He had seen far too many timid trainers.

To win, I'm willing to do anything.

Attribute advantage, targeted move sets, and team composition suppression.

As long as we can win, we'll play it safe and play it safe.

But this kid in front of me is different.

They clearly have an advantage.

They deliberately made things more difficult for themselves.

That kind of courage.

That kind of courage.

The more Xia Bo looked at it, the more he appreciated it.

"bring it on!"

"Let me see what kind of difficulty you're trying to make for yourself!"

Jiang Chuan's fingers traced across the row of Poké Balls at his waist.

It stopped on one of them.

He took the Poké Ball and pressed the zoom button.

It was thrown towards the center of the field.

The Poké Ball traced an arc in the air.

It opened with a bang.

A burst of white light.

A massive figure appeared on the field.

A bright green body.

It has a huge flower on its back.

The petals gleamed with a dark red luster under the red glow of the lava.

Its four sturdy legs were firmly planted on the rocky ground, and a deep sound came from its throat.

Wonderful frog flower.

Blaine's smile froze on his face.

He stared at the Venusaur.

His eyes were even wider than when the Nine-Tails was instantly killed.

"no……"

"You...you're a grass-type?"

Even Chapman's voice changed.

He never expected this.

Jiang Chuan will take out a Grass-type Pokémon.

Trying to fight a Fire-type with a Grass-type is not just making things harder for yourself, it's suicide.

"Aren't you getting a little too arrogant, kid?"

Xia Bo couldn't help but complain.

"Ah, while I admire your arrogance, I was quite arrogant when I was young."

"But I'm not as arrogant as you."

His tone was full of helplessness when he said this.

"No, I've already told you."

"My Charizard is very strong; it's my ace in the challenge."

"Are you going to release another Grass-type?"

Blaine felt he had been arrogant enough.

Even when he was young, he dared to play with his disadvantageous attributes.

But that's under the condition of absolute superiority.

Jiang Chuan scratched his head, his expression turning somewhat troubled.

"Oh dear, Uncle Xia, there's nothing I can do about it."

"Your dragon is too high-level."

"The only one I've trained to this high level is this Venusaur."

He sounded genuinely helpless.

It seems like I was forced into it too.

Upon hearing these words, Chapman...

His brows furrowed.

He thought about it carefully.

Then he nodded.

"So that's how it is."

Most of Xia Bo's doubts disappeared.

He thought this explanation was quite reasonable.

Charizard is a Gym Leader.

Even with type advantages, Jiang Chuan's low-level Pokémon were still struggling in battle.

You can only try your luck with the highest-level item.

And this Venusaur just happens to be the highest-level one Jiang Chuan has.

Although the attribute is countered.

But at least it's at the gym level, so it still has the strength to fight.

Blaine's expression relaxed again.

"OK."

"Since you've got the guts, I'll have to see what you're made of."

His eyes held a hint of appreciation, but more so, confidence.

Fire-type attacks counter Grass-type attacks.

The advantage lies with me!

The duckbill dragon is still his trump card.

This battle.

He simply couldn't figure out how he lost.

Jiang Chuan noticed the change in Xia Bo's expression.

I smiled to myself.

As expected, Blaine was successfully led into the natural mindset that fire type counters grass type.

This is exactly the effect he wanted.

He prepared Venusaur for the second time.

Besides the requirement that the mission involves a challenge with reverse attributes.

Another point is to catch Blaise off guard.

The information obtained from the Blastoise leader.

In addition, there was the probing action of the first battle.

Jiang Chuan had figured out Xia Bo's methods.

This experienced elite trainer has specialized training in defending against all Pokémon that are effective against Fire-type Pokémon.

Terrestrial system, water system, and rock system.

Blaine's Pokémon had long been trained to be unafraid of these attributes.

But grass-type is different.

Grass-type is weak against Fire-type.

It's impossible for Blaine to specifically train Magmar to defend against Grass-type attacks.

Because there's no need for that.

In Chapel's understanding.

Grass-type characters are sitting ducks when facing Fire-type characters.

It poses no threat whatsoever.

But Jiangchuan's Venusaur is different; it has a whole host of special bonuses.

Mutant Parasitic Seed - Provides an additional 100% recovery!

Double Flower – Double the use of Grass-type moves!

Premium Miracle Seed – Increases the power of Grass-type moves by 40%.

The power of this Venusaur's Grass-type moves.

This has long exceeded conventional understanding.

As long as the timing is right.

It can be just like Blastoise.

One skill to end the battle.

Moreover, Blaine's guard has now been lowered to its lowest level.

He felt that Grass-type posed no threat to Fire-type .

They won't be as cautious as they were in the first game.

They won't stack up a bunch of defensive skills at the start of the game.

They won't always be on guard against powerful attacks.

He will reveal his weaknesses when he is relaxed.

That flaw was the opportunity Jiang Chuan needed to seize.

"Battle begins!"

Xia Bo's voice rang out. He stood on the opposite side of the court, much more relaxed than in the first match.

A relaxed smile graced his face.

"Duckbill Fire Dragon, Flame Breath!"

He waved casually.

The dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a pillar of fire.

Flames streaked across this underground space.

The color is different from ordinary flames; it is redder and deeper, carrying a scorching high temperature.

Jiang Chuan glanced at the flame.

"Venusaur, try to dodge."

Venusaur's body sank.

Four strong legs pushed off the ground with force.

The whole body shifts to the side.

Flames grazed its body as they flew past.

It hit the rock wall behind it.

It left a large area of ​​charred marks.

Jiang Chuan immediately gave the order.

"Parasitic seeds."

The petals of Venusaur trembled slightly, and several dark green seeds shot out from the center of the flower.

It traces a parabola in the air.

It flew toward the duck-billed fire dragon.

Bob didn't even look at the seeds.

"Burn it."

The duckbill fire dragon swung its arm.

A string of flames flew past.

They burned all the seeds.

But one of the seeds suddenly burst open just as it was about to be burned.

The parasitic spores inside were released.

It landed on the duckbill fire dragon.

Tiny tendrils grow from the spores.

Wrapped around the skin of the duckbill dragon.

It begins to absorb its energy.

Blair frowned, but didn't pay much attention.

It's just a parasitic seed.

The little bit of physical strength I absorbed.

You can easily make it back by just casting two fire skills.

"Continue the attack."

"Flame Vortex, lock down its range of movement."

The duck-billed fire dragon clasped its hands together.

Then it suddenly opened wide.

A swirling vortex of fire swept towards Venusaur.

Jiang Chuan did not rush to retaliate.

"Growth".

Venusaur stood still.

A pale green glow shone on the surface of its body.

Its size seemed to expand slightly in the light.

Both special attack and attack stats are increased.

A vortex of flames swept over.

Cover the Venusaur inside.

The flames scorched its body.

It made a hissing sound.

Venusaur let out a low growl.

But they did not retreat.

It endured the damage from the flames to accumulate the energy needed for growth.

The absorption effect of parasitic seeds also plays a role.

The vines wrapped around the duckbill fire dragon's body emitted a faint green glow.

A sliver of energy flowed back into Venusaur's body along the vines.

It mitigated some of the damage caused by the flames.

Jiang Chuan then gave the order.

"A sweet aroma."

A pink fragrance wafted from the flowers of Venusaur.

The aroma spread through the air.

The entire venue was enveloped in a faint, sweet aroma.

The duckbill dragon smelled the aroma.

His body swayed slightly.

The ability to dodge has been affected.

Xia Bo watched Jiang Chuan's actions.

His brows furrowed even deeper.

"Growth boosts attack, sweet aroma lowers evasion, parasitic seeds restore health..."

He silently recited it in his mind.

This looks like they're holding back a big surprise.

But he wasn't too worried.

"Continue the fire attack."

"Flame jet".

The Duckbill Fire Dragon spews flames again.

This time, it hit Venusaur's body directly.

Venusaur was pushed back several steps by the flames.

Several burn marks appeared on his body.

But Jiang Chuan did not let it stop.

"Continue to grow."

Another layer of pale green light appeared.

Special attack has been upgraded again.

Blaine's eyebrows twitched.

"Still folding?"

"Flame jet, don't stop."

Another burst of flame.

Venusaur bravely took the hit.

The body swayed slightly, the restorative effect of the parasitic seeds continuing to take effect.

The continuous damage from the burns is also draining its energy.

The two factors cancel each other out, so Venusaur's stamina doesn't decrease very quickly.

After half a day of attacking, I felt like I had only lost a layer of skin on this side, without any significant damage.

When Blaine saw this, his expression finally changed.

"This response speed... is outrageous!"

He stared at Venusaur, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

With just one parasitic seed, the recovery rate shouldn't be this high.

It has continuous damage from the burning status, as well as counter-damage from fire skills.

Normally, when facing a Grass-type Pokémon, the opponent would already be panicked, panting, and in a terrible state.

But this Venusaur's stamina didn't decrease much; on the contrary, it was slowly recovering.

The key point is that he only used one parasitic seed, which carries a little bit of regenerative ability!

Is this really that outrageous?
