Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

Blaine is, after all, a veteran trainer.

Although shocked, the command under his command remained in perfect order.

He carefully analyzed Jiang Chuan's operation.

Parasitic seeds.

Growth stacking special attack.

The sweet aroma is irresistible.

The purpose of this combo is too obvious.

It's all for the sake of saving up a powerful Grass-type move.

A slight smile appeared on Blaine's lips.

"Kid, you're pretty good at using tricks."

"But that's the end of it."

He raised his hand and waved it.

"Duckbill Fire Dragon"

"Smoke of Purification"

The duckbill fire dragon opens its mouth.

A plume of gray smoke billowed from its mouth.

Smoke churned in the air.

The morning glory was enveloped by the flower.

The gray smoke enveloped Venusaur.

The growth boost glow on Venusaur also dissipated in the smoke.

All changes to abilities have been erased.

Special attack and attack stats have all returned to their initial values.

Blaine saw that all the buffs on Venusaur had disappeared.

A smug smile appeared on his face.

"Kid, I don't know why your Venusaur is so strange, with such a strong recovery ability."

"But that's the end of it."

"You're trying to build up your ultimate attack by relying on your recovery ability, huh?"

"Sorry, I've seen this kind of trick too many times."

"Now I'm going to end the game!"

There was a hint of smugness in Blaine's voice.

He's fought countless battles and seen every kind of strategy.

He could crack Lai Chang's tactics with his eyes closed.

The smoke of purification was released.

All gains are reduced to zero.

This Venusaur is currently just a regular character.

Fire-type attacks counter Grass-type attacks.

The battle can be ended within three moves.

Bob waved his hand.

"Duckbill Fire Dragon"

"Charge!"

"Flame Fist!"

The duck-billed fire dragon received the order.

My body sank.

Push off the ground with both legs.

The rock beneath their feet shattered, creating a crack.

His entire body transformed into a fiery afterimage.

It charged straight at Venusaur.

Flames erupted from its right fist.

Blair's eyes were sharp; his previous ranged fire attacks seemed to have been thrown around casually.

But in fact, all of this was laying the groundwork for this step.

Every single hit.

All of them applied the Burn status to Venusaur.

Burning will continuously deplete your stamina.

It will also reduce the power of physical attacks.

This allows for subsequent close-range fire finishing moves.

Only then can it overcome Venusaur's recovery ability.

Defeat it completely.

But Blaine had been hesitant to let the Duckbill Fire Dragon get too close.

Because Venusaur grows in several layers.

The special attack bonus is too high.

Although Grass-type moves have natural resistance to Fire-type moves.

But after that strange water cannon attack in the first round.

Xia Bo had already developed a special wariness of Jiang Chuan.

This kid is too weird.

Blastoise can unleash a water cannon that instantly kills Nine-Tails.

If this Venusaur could also build up an extraordinary Grass-type move...

The Duckbill Fire Dragon doesn't have a high health pool.

They might actually get wiped out in seconds.

But it's different now.

The Clear Smoke wiped out Venusaur's Special Attack.

The special attack has returned to its initial value.

Even if you have a Grass-type special move.

The damage dealt is also within a controllable range.

The duckbill fire dragon can withstand it completely.

That's why Blaine felt safe enough to let the dragon get close.

Prepare to finish this battle with a fire-based finishing move.

Charizard charged towards Venusaur.

He raised his right fist high.

The blazing white flame fist drew a blinding arc of light in the air.

It slammed down hard on Venusaur's head.

Blaine's lips were already curled up.

We must win this battle.

.........

However, Jiangchuan's growth is still just a facade.

He's just there to stall for time.

Drag it out until the sun and flames have fully charged up.

Blaine was still gloating, thinking that the Clear Smoke had wiped out Venusaur's special attacks and victory was assured.

But in reality, what Jiang Chuan wanted was for him to waste this round.

Clear Smoke requires one skill slot.

During the turn that Magmar used Clear Smoke, Venusaur did not suffer any real damage.

This bought Jiang Chuan the most crucial amount of time.

The giant flower on Venusaur's back has been accumulating light energy at the center of its petals.

From the start of the show until now, not a single second has stopped.

Now, the solar energy is fully stored.

Blaine was still lost in the dream of defeating the dragon in close combat.

"Venusaur".

"Blazing Sunlight".

The giant flower on Venusaur's back suddenly lit up.

A blinding white light burst forth from the center of the petal.

The light was too bright.

The entire underground space was bathed in a stark white light.

The red glow of the magma was utterly insignificant compared to this white light.

The beam of light was as thick as a bucket.

It hurtled straight toward the duck-billed fire dragon.

The Duckbill Fire Dragon is charging forward with its Flame Punch raised.

The distance is too close.

There's no way to avoid it.

Moreover, it also has a sweet fragrance that reduces evasion.

Even if you want to dodge, your body can't keep up with the reaction.

Chapman's smile froze on his face.

He didn't even have time to shout the order to take cover.

The blazing sunlight had already struck the duck-billed fire dragon.

Double-flower characteristic.

Grass-type moves are used twice as frequently.

Two beams of sunlight, blazing brightly.

The first beam of light struck the duck-billed fire dragon's chest.

The duck-billed fire dragon's body was blasted backward.

The second beam of light followed closely behind.

They caught up with the duckbill dragon in the air.

Another solid hit.

The combined force of the two beams of sunlight blasted the Magikarp into the rock wall at the edge of the arena.

Gravel flew everywhere.

Smoke and dust filled the air.

The entire underground space was shaking.

Xiaoxia and Huazi were standing at the edge of the field when the shockwave forced them back several steps.

Miss Joey raised her hand to shield her eyes; the white light was too blinding.

Bob stood on the opposite side of the field.

His eyes were wide open.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"As expected, it's blazing hot sunlight..."

His voice carried a hint of lingering fear.

"Luckily, I used Cleanse Smoke to clear its special attack level earlier."

"Otherwise, we'll suffer losses again."

Xia Bo wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He secretly rejoiced.

He's a veteran trainer.

Very experienced.

He has a precise calculation model in his mind for the battle data of Gym Leader level Pokémon.

A Venusaur of Gym Level.

Without any special attack boost.

A typical burst of sunlight and intense heat.

Attribute advantage is not advantageous.

It's impossible to defeat his Duckbill Fire Dragon instantly.

Although the Duckbill Fire Dragon doesn't have particularly high health.

But the foundation of a dojo-level dojo is undeniable.

It can withstand a typical Grass-type powerful attack.

Xia Bo's heart gradually calmed down.

He felt that the battle was still under his control.

Even if you get hit by two shots.

However, Magmar has a natural resistance to Fire-type attacks against Grass-type attacks.

We can handle it.

We can definitely hold on.

The intense sunlight gradually faded.

The smoke and dust slowly settled down.

The figure of the duckbill fire dragon reappeared in sight.

It is still standing.

To be precise.

It was stubbornly held in the depression in the rock wall.

When Blaine saw that the duck-billed dragon was still standing, the corners of his mouth were about to turn up in a smile.

But the next second, his expression froze.

Not right.

The Duckbill Fire Dragon's condition was much more serious than he had anticipated.

The flame patterns on the body surface became dull and lifeless.

His arms hung limply at his sides, trembling uncontrollably.

Two large burn marks on his chest and abdomen.

That was where the blazing sun struck head-on.

The skin was burned.

The duckbill dragon's mouth was open, and it was panting heavily.

Every breath brought with it black smoke.

His posture was also crooked and awkward.

His legs were trembling.

It looked like it could collapse at any moment.

This is hardly the appearance of "holding on".

That was clearly a close call.

Blaine's pupils contracted slightly.

A thought flashed through my mind.

This is wrong.

According to his calculations, a Gym-level Venusaur with zero Special Attack boost can only reduce a Magmar's HP by about half with two Solar Beams.

But it's like this now.

The damselfish's stamina has been reduced by at least 80%.

even more.

They were just a hair's breadth away from losing their ability to fight.

How is that possible?

Jiang Chuan stood opposite, also sizing up the duckbill fire dragon.

His expression was much calmer than Chaper's.

There was even a hint of appreciation in it.

"This duckbill fire dragon has really high potential."

It took a hit from a double-powered Sunfire.

Still not falling to the ground.

This duckbill dragon's stamina and willpower are truly extraordinary.

The premium Miracle Seed provides a 40% power boost to Grass-type attacks, plus double the release of the Double Flower ability.

The actual power of those two Solar Beams far exceeded Blaine's understanding of the upper limit of a Gym Leader-level Venusaur.

But the duckbill dragon still managed to stay upright.

Although it was wobbly.

Although it looks like it could collapse at any moment.

But it did not lose its ability to fight.

The shock in Blaine's heart lasted only a moment.

He is, after all, a seasoned trainer who has been through countless battles.

My mind works incredibly fast.

The current situation is unexpected.

But it's not that there's no chance.

He stared at Venusaur.

They quickly analyzed the situation.

Solar Beam is a powerful Grass-type move.

But the cost is also very high.

It has a long charging time.

There is still stiffness after release.

These are the fatal weaknesses of the intense sunlight.

Venusaur is currently in a stunned state after unleashing Solar Beam.

It's impossible to move it for a short period of time.

This is the perfect time to strike back.

Furthermore, Blaine noticed that Venusaur was still burning.

Burning will continuously deplete your stamina.

I'm losing health every second.

In addition, the Duckbill Fire Dragon was almost out of stamina.

But he only had one last breath left.

As long as I have this breath left.

That would allow them to launch a counterattack.

Blair's mind raced, calculating the damage.

Just one big shot.

My destiny is with the Bulbasaur.

Fire-type attacks deal double damage to Grass-type attacks.

In addition, there is the continuous consumption from burning.

That would allow the situation to be reversed.

Take this Venusaur with you.

"Duckbill Fire Dragon"

"Prepare for a counterattack."

His voice was steady and powerful.

With the confidence of a veteran trainer.

Upon hearing the command, the duck-billed fire dragon gritted its teeth and struggled out of the crater in the rock wall.

Although his body was swaying, his eyes still burned with fighting spirit.

His mouth opened, and flames began to gather deep in his throat.

Big characters explode.

Ace Finishing Move.

As long as it's typed out.

The situation will turn around instantly.

Bob raised his hand high.

Just as it was about to swing down.

The flames in the duckbill fire dragon's throat grew brighter and brighter.

It's about to spray out.

At this very moment.

The green vines that entwine the body of the duck-billed fire dragon.

Suddenly it lit up.

Parasitic seeds.

The round takes effect.

Those tiny vines were deeply embedded in the skin of the duckbill dragon.

It draws its energy.

I had been continuously absorbing knowledge from it.

The flames in the dragon's throat suddenly went out.

Its body suddenly stiffened.

Eyes wide open.

His mouth was open.

But no sound came out.

The green vines shimmered on it.

Just this once.

The duckbill fire dragon felt as if the last bit of strength in its body had been drained away.

My legs went weak.

His knees slammed heavily onto the rocky ground.

Then the whole body leans forward.

With a thud.

He fell to the ground.

Not moving at all.

A wisp of smoke rose from his mouth.

The eyes turned into swirls.

Lost the ability to fight.

The place fell silent.

Bob's hand was still raised in mid-air.

I haven't been able to let go of it yet.

He looked at the duckbill dragon lying on the ground.

Then I looked at the green vines on Venusaur's body.

Parasitic seeds!

The amount absorbed is incorrect!

Blaine's expression suddenly changed.

He suddenly looked at Jiang Chuan.

In my mind, I pieced all the fragments together.

Venusaur's recovery speed is not right.

The damage from the intense sunlight is abnormal.

There's also the unusual amount of parasitic seed absorption.

All the problems pointed in one direction.

This Venusaur's Grass-type moves.

something wrong.

It's not just a normal problem.

Its power has been greatly enhanced.

Moreover, the magnitude of the enhancement far exceeds conventional understanding.

Bob opened his mouth.

What do you want to say?

But the sound was stuck in his throat and he couldn't make it out.

All the damage in the entire battle was beyond his experience.

From the very beginning, Venusaur's recovery speed puzzled him.

The damage from the intense sunlight exceeded expectations.

And then there's the unexpected way the parasitic seed falls to the ground.

Every step.

Every step he took was a slap in the face.

He is an experienced senior dojo master.

I was completely outmaneuvered by a rookie trainer from start to finish.

What kind of growth superposition?

What kind of "clinging to the field" tactic is this?

What, holding back a big move?

It's all a smokescreen.

Jiang Chuan's true trump card, from the very beginning, was Venusaur itself.

The power of Grass-type moves is ridiculously exaggerated.

That's the whole story behind this trump card.

"this……"

Bob's voice finally escaped his throat.

But he could only utter one word before he could no longer speak.

He stood there, completely stunned.

His eyes were fixed on the duckbill dragon lying on the ground.

My mind went completely blank.

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

"Yay!"

"Jiang Chuan won!"

A cheer erupted from the sidelines.

Xiaoxia jumped up immediately.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were full of excitement.

She kept clenching her fists while watching the fight.

My palms are marked with fingernails.

She had been nervous for Jiang Chuan ever since the duckbill fire dragon emerged from the lava.

Although I knew in my heart that Jiang Chuan was very strong.

But seeing Jiang Chuan facing the Gym Leader's ace Pokémon still makes me worry.

Now we see that Jiang Chuan has won.

The taut string finally loosened.

Excitement welled up like water bursting from a dam.

She simply couldn't control herself.

The legs work faster than the brain.

They sped directly towards Jiangchuan.

The battlefield still retained the warmth of the battle, and the rocky ground beneath our feet was scalding hot.

But Xiaoxia didn't care about any of that.

She ran behind Jiang Chuan and jumped.

She clung to Jiang Chuan's back like a koala.

She wrapped her arms tightly around Jiang Chuan's neck.

Her two legs were wrapped around Jiang Chuan's waist.

All of his weight pressed down on it.

"You're amazing!"

"I knew you could win!"

Xiaoxia pressed her face against the back of Jiang Chuan's neck and shouted excitedly.

The voice was high-pitched and bright.

Wandering through this vast underground space.

Jiang Chuan staggered forward a step from the sudden impact.

He subconsciously reached out and supported Xiaoxia's thigh.

He regained his balance.

Then he felt it.

Xiaoxia was covered in sweat.

He was covered in sweat.

The site is right next to lava.

The temperature was already ridiculously high.

After the battle, both of them looked as if they had been pulled out of the water.

He was soaking wet from head to toe.

The clothes stuck to my skin.

Her hair was wet and stuck to her forehead.

When Xiaoxia pressed herself against him, their sweat mingled together.

The sticky, wet, and hot feeling between skin to skin.

Xiaoxia's chest pressed against his back.

It's soft.

hot.

My clothes were soaked through from sweating so much.

The sensation was clearer than usual.

Jiang Chuan gave a helpless laugh.

He turned his head to look at Xiaoxia, who was leaning on his shoulder.

The girl's face was fair with a rosy glow, her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, her stray hairs clung to her temples, and her eyes sparkled as if they held stars.

She looked both excited and adorable.

"Sigh, Xiaoxia."

Jiang Chuan's voice was tinged with laughter.

"You're sweating so much, why are you sticking all over me?"

As he spoke, he deliberately shrugged his shoulders.

It made Xia, who was on his back, sway a little.

Xiaoxia cried out "Ah!" from the jolting.

But the arms around Jiang Chuan's neck tightened even more.

She pouted and tilted her head to look at Jiang Chuan's profile.

A sly glint flashed in his eyes.

His tone became playful.

"Um?"

"You're disgusted with me now?"

She lowered her voice and leaned close to Jiang Chuan's ear.

"Well... that time I said I was sweating, which big bad guy said he wanted that smell."

Xiaoxia's voice became softer and gentler, with a coquettish tone.

A small smile curved at the corner of her mouth.

His eyes were filled with an ambiguous light as he looked around.

"And that time, my personal... "

Xiaoxia, furious, was about to say something that would offend the reviewer again.

Fortunately, seeing Hanako and Miss Joey also moving closer, she quickly stopped herself and instead complained bluntly, "Anyway... you fickle man! I'm going to stick to you, I'm going to stick to you!"

As Xiaoxia spoke, the arm around Jiang Chuan's neck tightened even more.

She clung tightly to Jiang Chuan's back.

It's like a piece of chewing gum that you can't shake off.

Jiang Chuan coughed as she was being strangled, but he neither flinched nor put her down.

He just smiled and shook his head, then gently patted Xiaoxia's thigh with his palm.

This can be considered a response.

Xiaoxia was patted, and her body trembled slightly.

She buried her face in Jiang Chuan's neck and let out a muffled groan.

They stopped talking.

But this silence, devoid of words, was even more ambiguous than the earlier shouting.
