Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

Hanako and Miss Joey are also walking this way.

They were standing a little further back, so they walked a bit slower.

He witnessed the entire process of Xiaoxia rushing over and clinging to Jiang Chuan.

Hanako looked at the two people stuck together and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

His eyes held a knowing and understanding quality that came from someone who had been through it all.

Young people, you know.

Happy after winning the battle, I'll act cute and affectionate for a bit.

That's normal, I actually want to too...

Hanako shook her head, banishing the thought from her mind. "Forget it," she thought, "I'm a young married woman now, I should be more mature."

Miss Joey followed Hanako, walking a little slower.

Her gaze remained fixed on Xiaoxia and Jiangchuan.

To be precise.

It lies in Xiaoxia's undisguised way of showing affection.

She was hanging on Jiang Chuan's back.

Chest pressed against back.

Her arms were around his neck.

Thighs pressed against the sides of the waist.

Every movement was intimate and without any distance between them.

Both of them were covered in sweat.

It's sticky and gooey.

It might look a bit messy.

But to Miss Joey, this scene was exceptionally sweet.

That kind of intimacy that makes you oblivious to others.

That kind of unrestrained coquetry.

That sticky, clingy feeling of someone who's covered in sweat but still insists on sticking close to the other person.

That's how people in the throes of passionate love behave.

Miss Joey looked at Xia's arm around Jiang Chuan's neck, at Jiang Chuan's hand supporting Xia's thigh, and at the way their sweaty clothes were pressed together.

A sudden surge of bittersweet emotion welled up inside me.

She was envious.

I'm genuinely envious.

Although she secretly harbored some other thoughts, she could never be like Xiaoxia, who could hug him whenever she wanted, act coquettishly whenever she wanted, climb directly onto Jiang Chuan, and casually say things like "I want to stick to you."

Joey can't do it.

Her upbringing, her identity as a member of the Joy family, and her own introverted and reserved nature all made it impossible for her to do such a thing.

But being unable to do it is one thing.

Whether you want to or not is another matter.

Looking at Xiaoxia's comfortable posture on Jiang Chuan's back, she couldn't help but wonder what it would feel like to be the one clinging to Jiang Chuan's back.

Just thinking about it made Joey blush.

She quickly lowered her head, staring at the rocky ground in front of her toes, no longer daring to look at Jiang Chuan and Xiao Xia.

But the feeling of envy in my heart did not dissipate; instead, it surged even stronger.

She felt the changes in her body.

It's too hot in this underground space.

It's unbearably hot.

She had been standing for so long that she was sweating a lot.

My clothes were soaked and stuck to my body.

It was already hot and humid, and the tension from watching the game earlier, plus the emotional turmoil of seeing Jiang Chuan and Xiao Xia being intimate, only added to the stress.

The heat in my body kept rising, and I was sweating more and more.

Joey bit her lower lip.

This feeling made her panic.

It caused an unusual heat to surge through her body.

She dared not think too deeply about the source of this feeling.

I quickened my pace, wanting to get to the venue as soon as possible, but I didn't dare to walk too fast.

Joey squeezed his legs together, his strides became smaller, and his steps became a little choppy.

The blush on her face spread from her cheekbones to her ears.

Fortunately, Hanako was walking ahead and didn't notice anything unusual about her.

Jiang Chuan remained in the position of supporting Xiaoxia.

Xiaoxia clung to his back, her legs tightly wrapped around his neck, her arms around his neck, burying her face in the back of his neck and rubbing against him.

"They're coming down, they're coming down."

Jiang Chuan patted her thigh.

"I don't."

Xiaoxia hugged him even tighter, and she and Jiang Chuan started arguing back and forth.

You're covered in sweat.

"You're covered in sweat too."

"So this sticky feeling is really uncomfortable."

"I don't feel uncomfortable."

Xiaoxia lifted her face from the back of his neck and rested her chin on his shoulder.

"I just feel comfortable wearing it."

Jiang Chuan smiled helplessly.

Just as he was about to say something else.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Hanako and Miss Joey walking over.

Xiaoxia saw it too.

But she still showed no sign of coming down.

Hanako walked closer and looked at Xiaoxia hanging on Jiangchuan's back, her smile deepening.

"Xiaoxia, it's inconvenient for Jiangchuan to walk like this."

Hanako's tone was somewhat teasing.

"Thanks to Sister Hanako's intercession."

Xiaoxia muttered something, but still loosened her grip on Jiang Chuan's neck.

I slid off Jiangchuan's back.

Upon landing.

Xiaoxia whispered in Jiang Chuan's ear.

He muttered something in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"While you're sleeping at night, I'll put this sweaty little piece of cloth over your head so you'll hate me."

After saying that, she wrinkled her nose at Jiang Chuan and made a face.

Jiang Chuan pointed at Xiaoxia.

He smiled helplessly.

This girl is becoming less and less secretive in front of me.

They dare to say anything.

When we first met, he at least maintained a bit of a trainer's airs and was a little arrogant.

Now, it's become a completely lawless demon.

Hanako watched Jiangchuan and Xiaoxia's subtle actions with a knowing look in her eyes.

She didn't say anything more, just smiled and shook her head.

Miss Joey stood behind Hanako.

Watching Xiaoxia still winking and making faces after getting off Jiang Chuan's back.

That sour feeling welled up in my heart again.

The way Xiaoxia and Jiangchuan get along.

It looks so natural.

Say whatever you want.

Do whatever you want.

There's absolutely nothing to worry about.

This kind of unbridled intimacy.

It was something she had never experienced before.

It was something she had always longed to do but never dared to.

Miss Joey's fingers twisted together in front of her skirt.

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

On the other side of the field, Blair finally came to his senses.

He stood next to the duck-billed fire dragon.

Looking at his main Pokémon, which had lost its ability to battle.

The expression on his face still held a hint of disbelief.

The duckbill fire dragon lay on the ground.

The battle just now was too outrageous. What kind of monsters were those Blastoise and Venusaur?

Blaine took a deep breath and retracted the Duckbill Fire Dragon.

He was silent for a few seconds, then he looked up.

She looked at Jiang Chuan, who was standing on the other side of the field, her eyes filled with a strong sense of inquiry and curiosity.

Blaine pulled the Crimson Lotus Gym badge out of his pocket.

He walked towards Jiang Chuan, lost in thought as he went.

The expression on his face kept changing.

Jiang Chuan noticed Xia Bo walking over, and he patted Xiaoxia on the shoulder, gesturing for her to stand a little to the side.

Xiaoxia also saw Uncle Xia, pursed her lips, and obediently moved a step to the side.

Xia Bo walked up to Jiang Chuan.

First, I handed over the Crimson Lotus Dojo badge.

"Congratulations, young man, you won."

Jiang Chuan accepted the badge and expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you so much, Uncle Xia, you flatter me!"

Uncle Shabby waved his hand.

He clearly didn't come over just to congratulate me.

"Jiangchuan."

"Where did you get your Blastoise and Venusaur?"

His tone was filled with a strong thirst for knowledge.

"Or did you undergo some kind of special training?"

Xia Bo became more and more excited as he spoke.

"How can he have so many strange abilities?"

………………

Bob said a whole bunch of things in one breath.

Towards the end, I was almost out of breath.

He paused to catch his breath, then looked at Jiang Chuan with a more serious expression.

"I myself am a trainer from Kanto."

I've bred Venusaur and Blastoise.

"And we've bred more than one."

"The number of opponents I've faced is countless."

"But I've never seen anything as strange as you, Blastoise and Venusaur."

"Completely unreasonable."

"Completely beyond common sense."

"If you'd like."

There was a hint of pleading in Chaper's voice.

"Could you tell me in detail how you raised them?"

After hearing Xia Bo's words, Jiang Chuan secretly groaned inwardly.

This is exactly what he fears most: the curiosity of an elite trainer, someone who has become curious about something.

They can really keep you talking for days and nights.

Jiang Chuan doesn't have that time right now.

He also has to attend the Quartz Conference later.

There are still many things to prepare.

Moreover, even if he had the time.

We can't go into too much detail with Uncle Shabby.

Jiang Chuan gave a modest smile.

"Uncle, tell the truth."

"I'm not entirely sure what happened myself."

Bob frowned.

"You don't know either?"

"right."

Jiang Chuan nodded.

His expression was exceptionally sincere.

"The changes in Blastoise and Venusaur's abilities were actually discovered by accident."

"Accident?"

Bob frowned even more.

"Yes, an accident."

Jiang Chuan continued.

"Blastoise's special cannon ability was accidentally triggered during a training session."

"But I don't understand the specific principle behind it either."

"It's probably a mutation in his talent."

When Blaine heard the words "gift mutation",

The curiosity in his eyes intensified.

"What about Venusaur?"

"Venusaur's situation is similar."

Jiang Chuan continued his fabrication, and when he finished, he shrugged, looking completely innocent.

"So, Mr. Chapel, you're asking me how exactly I trained him."

"I really can't explain it."

"Maybe I was just lucky."

Xia Bo stared at Jiang Chuan for several seconds.

His eyes held a hint of suspicion.

He didn't believe these were all accidents.

He knows the profession of trainer all too well.

An accident can be attributed to luck.

Two unexpected events are barely acceptable.

However, Blastoise and Venusaur exhibited changes in their abilities.

It is clearly systematic.

It was meticulously designed and trained by someone behind the scenes.

This cannot be explained by luck.

But Jiang Chuan has already said that.

He couldn't bring himself to ask any further questions.

Jiang Chuan could see Xia Bo's unwillingness.

I quickly added a few more sentences.

"Sab, I'm actually just a rookie trainer right now."

"I've been traveling for less than a year."

"Our research on Pokémon is still very superficial."

"At this point, all I know is to train them to be stronger."

"As for the specific research and analysis..."

"Maybe I'll have to wait until after I finish this Quartz conference."

"Only then will I have time to think about it slowly."

Jiang Chuan's words revealed two pieces of information.

the first.

I'm a newbie.

Don't expect me to explain anything profound.

second.

I still want to play in the Quartz Conference.

I don't have time to do research with you.

Bob was a wise man.

He immediately understood what Jiang Chuan meant.

A hint of regret appeared on his face.

But I also know I can't force it anymore.

Furthermore, Blastoise is a Water-type, while Venusaur is a Grass-type.

Although it is indeed very strong and unique, it is ultimately not the fire element that he is most obsessed with.

If it were a Fire-type Pokémon exhibiting such unusual abilities...

He insisted on keeping Jiang Chuan here to study him properly.

Right now, I'm curious, but not to the point of obsession.

Bob sighed.

"All right."

"Since you're rushing to the Quartz Conference, I won't take up any more of your time."

"However, Jiang Chuan, if you have time after the tournament, you can come to Crimson Lotus Island again."

"We'll have a good talk then."

Jiang Chuan smiled and nodded.

"Definitely, definitely."

Xia Bo then looked at the Poké Ball hanging from Jiang Chuan's waist.

There was still a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

But he ultimately suppressed his curiosity.

I chatted briefly with Jiang Chuan about some random things.

For example, the opponents in the Quartz Conference.

For example, what are some worthwhile places to visit on Crimson Lotus Island?

After chatting for a few minutes...

Jiang Chuan held the badge.

They left the dojo with Xia and the others.

As I stepped out of the hot spring hotel, a wave of heat hit me immediately.

Xiaoxia immediately fanned herself with her hand.

"It's so hot! Why did we come out? It's still so hot!"

Hanako also took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Miss Joey stood at the very back, head down, lost in thought.

Jiang Chuan glanced back at them. The dojo challenge was over, and he was in a good mood. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop complaining. It's on me today."

"Let's have a big meal first, then find a hot spring hotel to stay in and relax."

Xiaoxia's eyes lit up immediately.

"Yay!"

She raised both hands above her head.

He made a cheering gesture.

Eevee and Pikachu next to them also started jumping around.

Two short legs hopped around on the ground.

The ears were twitching back and forth.

Togepi was held in Hanako's arms.

Although I don't know what happened.

But seeing that everyone seemed happy...

They also started calling out "Pok Pok".

"When I was looking for Uncle Xia before, I found out that there is a hot spring hotel on Red Lotus Island with a particularly good reputation."

"It's right at the foot of the mountain."

"The hot spring water is drawn directly from the volcano."

There's also an open-air hot spring inside.

"Soaking in a hot spring at night and watching the stars."

"It should be very comfortable."

Xiaoxia heard about the open-air hot spring.

The smile on her face became even brighter.

"I want to soak!"

"I want to soak for a really, really long time!"

She has temporarily put the idea of ​​having a big meal out of her mind.

I've started imagining myself soaking in a hot spring.

Miss Joey stood next to Hanako.

Listening to Jiang Chuan talk about the hot spring hotel.

He tried his best to make a happy expression on his face.

But there was still a hint of worry in his eyes.

Her fingers were twisting in front of her skirt.

My fingertips are a little white.

The observant Hanako noticed Miss Joey's expression.

She didn't say anything immediately.

I just kept it in my heart.

Hanako recalled her journey to the dojo.

The look in Miss Joey's eyes when she saw Jiang Chuan and Xiao Xia being intimate.

That kind of longing.

That kind of envy.

That struggle of wanting to get close yet not daring to get close.

Hanako saw it all; she was an experienced person and understood many things at a glance.

Miss Joey's feelings for Jiang Chuan are definitely more than just ordinary affection.

However, Miss Joy's personality may not be so outgoing, and coupled with the constraints of her family background, she dares not express her feelings.

Hanako watched as Miss Joey forced a smile.

She already had a general idea of ​​what was going on. Now that all the important matters were finished, she was needed to lend a helping hand.

Hanako began to make plans in her mind.

In the evening, I'll find an opportunity to chat with Miss Joey for a while longer.

Some things need a little encouragement to happen.
