Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

"well……"

Xiao Gang watched as Pikachu leaped off Jiang Chuan's shoulder, sighed deeply, and rubbed his temples.

The helplessness in her squinty eyes was almost overflowing.

"Young people these days..."

"I've said it so many times, this is the Rock-type Gym."

"Rock-based, ground-based, highly electrically resistant, you get it?"

He seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps giving Jiang Chuan a final lecture and piece of advice.

"never mind."

He shook his head, his gaze refocusing on the field.

He spoke in a steady voice, addressing his own little fist stone:

"Groundhog Day, give him a little 'failure lesson'."

"Use falling rocks!"

The round little fist stone let out a deep, muffled growl.

The two rocky arms suddenly rose and slammed down hard onto the ground beneath their feet.

boom!

The ground trembled slightly.

Several sharp rocks, each the size of a human head, suddenly broke off from the rock wall above Pikachu's head!

Not slow!

Its coverage area is also quite wide.

The opening is a typical "educational" approach, using area-of-effect attacks to throw new trainers into a panic and expose their lack of command and adaptability.

Xiao Gang crossed his arms, already bracing himself for the scene of his challenger scrambling around and yelling "Get out of the way!"

however.

Jiang Chuan remained calm.

"To the left front, a flash of lightning."

"After avoiding the falling rocks, approach in an arc."

The moment the command was given, Pikachu's small body was enveloped in white light.

It transformed into a white streak of light, passing through the gap between the two fallen rocks at an extremely precise angle.

Not only did it completely evade the attack, but its sprint trajectory also drew a smooth arc, heading straight for Geodude's flank.

Xiao Gang's squinty eyes opened slightly.

Huh?

This reaction... doesn't seem like that of a complete newbie.

But he remained unmoved.

Geodude has extremely high defense and special defense; Pikachu's physical attacks are just a tickle to it.

"Geophysical, hold on."

"Make it round, and then wait for him to crash into you."

He wanted to see just how weak this Pikachu's attacks really were.

Upon hearing this, the little geodeer immediately retracted its limbs into its body, and a layer of light shone on the surface of the rock, making it even more rounded and solid.

It was like a real rock, standing still, ready to take the impact head-on.

A knowing glint flashed in Jiang Chuan's eyes.

Enhanced defense?

Just right.

"Pikachu."

"A flash of lightning followed by a collision; target, directly ahead."

"Give it your all."

Pikachu's charging speed suddenly increased again!

Before the white lightning had even faded, its entire body had already turned slightly to the side, gathering the power in its shoulders and sideways.

Then, it crashed hard into that round "stone".

A muffled thud!

The little geomancy stone was knocked backward and rolled twice!

With its superior level, Pikachu's impact was surprisingly effective.

For the first time, Xiao Gang's brows furrowed.

The impact...

Something is wrong!

How could Pikachu's weight and the force of the impact reach such a level?

It actually managed to knock back the small, rounded Geodude?

Before he could figure it out...

Jiang Chuan's command was given once again.

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt, face down, fire!"

What?

Xiao Gang suddenly looked up!

100,000 volts?

Does this Pikachu possess 100,000 volts?

How is that possible!

Is it really that high-level? Or is it some kind of extraordinary talent...?

Pikachu landed steadily and, facing Geodude which had just regained its footing and was less than three meters away, unleashed a Thunderbolt right up to its face.

Even so, Xiao Gang on the battle stage was ready to give the next command.

He believed that Geodude's level was not much different from Pikachu's, and even with Thunderbolt, he would still have a chance to fight back after this attack.

Unfortunately, the doubled power of the electric ball prevented Geodude from even letting out a scream; its eyes instantly turned into vortexes.

It fell straight to the ground, billowing black smoke, and lost its ability to fight.

The entire room fell silent.

Only the faint crackling sound of residual electricity echoed in the air.

In the stands.

Xiao Gang's large group of younger siblings, who had been chattering away just moments before, now all opened their mouths wide, covered their faces with their little hands, and stared wide-eyed.

"Little...Little Geodude lost?"

"You were... defeated by Pikachu?"

"That yellow Pokémon... it's... so amazing!"

Xiao Gang remained silent for a full five seconds.

He silently withdrew the small fist stone, which had lost its fighting power.

When he looked up again, his squinty eyes were now fully open.

Although it was still small, there was no longer a trace of contempt or disdain in it; instead, there was a deep sense of shock and scrutiny.

"One hundred thousand volts. And it's one hundred thousand volts with such concentrated power and such precise control..."

He stared intently at the slightly panting but bright-eyed Pikachu on the field, then looked at Jiang Chuan, who stood calmly opposite him.

"Absolute power that breaks through elemental weaknesses..."

"Incredible."

"A rookie trainer, a Pikachu..."

"I apologize for my earlier disrespect."

Xiao Gang's voice became serious and earnest.

"You, and your Pikachu, are indeed very powerful."

He took another Poké Ball from his waist.

"However, this level of skill alone is not enough to obtain the Pewter Gym Badge!"

"Come out, Onix!!!"

Roar! ! !

Amidst the white light of the Poké Ball exploding, a deep, powerful roar resounded.

A massive figure crashed down onto the rocky ground.

The body, composed of sections of hard, massive rocks, gleamed with a cold, hard, grayish-black luster under the dim light.

The massive rock head lowered, its cold eyes fixed on the tiny Pikachu on the field.

The mere existence of it brings a heavy sense of oppression!

[Pokémon: Onix]

[Level: Common (lv20)]

"It's my brother's Onix! Yay!"

The brief silence in the stands was instantly ignited!

Xiao Gang's younger siblings jumped up and down with excitement, their faces flushed.

"Go, brother! You'll definitely win with Onix!"

"That's Onix! The most powerful Pokémon in the world!"

"That's right! That's right! My brother is invincible!"

The children's cheers were filled with pure trust and adoration.

"ha?"

Xia, standing to the side, was displeased. She put her hands on her hips and gestured with her chin toward the stands.

"The best? What do a bunch of kids know!"

"It's just an Onix. My Starfish can easily smash it to pieces with a single high-pressure water jet!"

"Water-type attacks are super effective against Rock and Ground-type attacks, dealing four times the damage! Do you understand?"

She started by getting into a fight with the group of children.

Jiang Chuan ignored Xiaoxia's complaints and the children's cheers.

He calmly raised his hand.

"Pikachu, come back!"

Pikachu nimbly returned to Jiang Chuan's side.

This action made Xiao Gang's eyes narrow again.

Active rotation?

In a dojo battle, how could someone so calmly conserve their energy and choose a better opponent when facing the dojo master?

This tactical awareness...

He's definitely not an ordinary newcomer!

His opinion of Jiang Chuan rose even higher.

"Pidgey, it's your turn now."

Upon hearing that Jiang Chuan had switched to Pidgeotto, Xiao Gang's lips curled up almost imperceptibly: "Another Flying-type? As expected, a newbie is still a newbie."

However, when Jiang Chuan threw the Poké Ball, the ridiculously huge figure in the white light gradually solidified...

The serious expression on Xiao Gang's face cracked once again.

The cheers from the children in the stands seemed to be abruptly silenced, as if they had been suddenly strangled.

Pidgey's enormous wings spread wide, casting a shadow that covered almost half of the front of the arena!

Its enormous body, far surpassing that of its kind, with smooth and powerful muscle lines, and eyes as sharp as a knife.

A powerful, predatory aura wafted over me.

Xiao Gang's squinty eyes widened to the limit of what he could reach in an instant!

He almost blurted out, "It's a Pidgeot!"

But Jiang Chuan's calm voice shattered his misjudgment.

"Pidgeotto, prepare for battle."

Pipi bird?

Xiao Gang felt a little confused.

You call this a Pidgey?

With its size and imposing presence, I would believe you if you told me it was a large Pied Eagle!

He stared intently at the giant bird on the field. His professionalism as a gym leader allowed him to quickly calm down and carefully analyze the situation.

The shape of the crest feathers, the length of the tail feathers, the sharpness of the eyes...

Indeed, it still has the physical characteristics of a Pidgey.

but……

This is way too big!

After the initial shock, the children in the stands erupted into an even greater uproar.

"Wow, it's huge!"

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"Brother... can Brother's Onix still win?"

"Ken... he definitely can! My brother's Onix is ​​huge too!"

Although they were still encouraging their brother, the children's tone already carried a hint of uncertainty and apprehension.

Xiao Gang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

Pikachu with super-powerful electricity...

Giant, mutated Pidgey...

Who exactly is this new trainer?

But he was an experienced curator after all, and he quickly adjusted his mindset.

No matter how big it is, it's still a flying type!

Flying-type Onix is ​​still at a disadvantage against Rock-type Onix!

The advantage lies with me!

"Onix!"

Xiao Gang's voice regained its composure as he launched the first attack!

"shoot down!"

The giant onyx suddenly swung its massive tail and slammed it hard against a protruding rock nearby.

Several millstone-sized, sharp-edged rocks were blasted away by the immense force, shooting towards the Pidgey suspended in the air like cannonballs, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound.

It covers all the angles from which it could possibly dodge!

This "smash" was both swift and ruthless, clearly the result of countless hours of practice and coordination.

However, the giant Pidgey in the air displayed a terrifying agility completely disproportionate to its enormous size.

They easily passed the first two rocks that arrived.

Then, it made a dazzlingly light left turn in the air, passing perfectly through the gaps between several other rocks.

Finally, his wings snapped shut, and his body paused eerily in mid-air, causing the last two boulders that flew close to his face to futilely slice through the air.

The entire dodging process was smooth and precise, like dancing on the edge of a knife, yet it was effortless.

Perfectly avoided!

"Such a large size, yet it can still move this fast?" Xiao Gang's understanding of Pidgeot has been completely refreshed.

"Rockfall! Continuous attack!"

The Onix roared, its massive head swung, and more rocks were condensed and thrown out, like a continuous rain of stones, enveloping Pidgey.

Jiang Chuan's gaze remained calmly fixed on the Onix's body.

Especially the joints where its rock sections connect.

As it launches continuous attacks and its body inevitably makes large movements, the rotation and twisting of those nodes are clearly exposed in its field of vision and waveguide perception.

That's it.

The weakest point in the defense is also the key point where an impact can most easily trigger a chain reaction throughout the body.

"Pip Bird".

His voice carried clearly through the roar of the rocks breaking apart.

"In a flash, it circled around to the side between the third and fourth nodes."

"Then, wing attack, all out!"

The Pidgey bird let out a long cry that seemed to pierce through the clouds and split rocks.

The forced first strike of Lightning Strike makes it difficult for Onix, which is not good at speed, to defend against.

Brock actually knew Onix's weakness, but he didn't take any special precautions because he thought that Pidgeotto, being a Flying-type, wouldn't dare to get close.

However, it now appears that he miscalculated.

"Onix! Quickly retreat underground! Use Dig!"

Xiao Gang reacted quickly, but it was still too late.

Pidgey has reached the optimal attack position!

The edges of the wings even stirred up sharp air currents.

Its massive body carries all the kinetic energy of the dive acceleration, channeling all its power into its wings!

It struck hard at the junction of the third and fourth rock segments of the Great Onix's body!

A crisp sound, clear enough to make your teeth ache, like rocks cracking.

hit.

Extremely accurate.

The giant onyx let out a painful howl.

At the point where it was hit, the rock instantly cracked open with a spiderweb-like pattern.

More importantly, the terrifying impact of this attack was transmitted without reservation through this weakest point into its massive body, causing violent tremors and imbalance throughout its entire structure.

Rumble...

The giant onyx's majestic body crashed to the side!

It crashed heavily onto the rocky ground, kicking up clouds of dust!

It struggled, trying to lift its head, but the excruciating pain in its torso and the structural misalignment made it unable to exert any force.

The light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and finally, unwillingly, he closed his eyes, losing his ability to fight.

The dust settled slowly.

Inside the dojo, there was a deathly silence.

In the stands.

Xiao Gang's younger siblings all gaped, their little hands tightly covering their mouths, their eyes filled with disbelief and bewilderment.

Onix, the "most powerful" brother in their hearts...

We lost?

He was knocked down in one blow by that enormous bird?

Brock froze on the spot. This rookie trainer had defeated him in a way he thought was impossible.

It’s incredible!
