Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

Xiao Mao was completely stunned. He stared blankly at the tree that had been blasted and was about to fall, then looked at Jiang Chuan standing calmly opposite him, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"How could your giant crab possibly use the Destruction Ray?"

"How is this possible?"

"This doesn't make any sense!"

Shigeru was very jealous that Jiangchuan's mini giant crab could learn the Hyper Beam.

Jiang Chuan tossed the Poké Ball in his hand and replied casually, "Nothing strange about it."

Xiao Mao almost couldn't catch his breath. He pointed at Jiang Chuan and stammered "you you you" for a long time, but he couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.

Before the two could exchange another few words, a clear and passionate cry suddenly rang out from the edge of the arena!

"Wow! Jiang Chuan! You're amazing! So cool!!"

Nanami was so excited that she jumped up and down on the spot!

She put her hands to her mouth, transforming into the most ardent fangirl. Her delicate and beautiful face was covered with a charming blush, and the love and adoration in her eyes almost burst forth.

"I knew you were the best!"

"That Hyper Beam was absolutely awesome! You really lived up to your reputation! Well done! That was a beautiful win!!"

Xiao Mao, who was already feeling incredibly frustrated, finally found a way to distract himself from his embarrassment when he heard his older sister cheering for Jiang Chuan!

Xiao Mao suddenly turned his head, his eyes blazing with anger as he glared at Nanami, and shouted furiously:

"Sis! Are you even my real sister?!"

"I lost the game! I got thrashed! And instead of comforting me, you're just standing there laughing so happily?"

"Who are your family members anyway?!"

After being yelled at by Xiao Mao, Nanami finally calmed down her overly excited and coquettish demeanor, raised her hand to gently press down her high breasts, and cleared her throat.

"Cough cough... Xiao Mao, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"This is a friendly sparring match within our research institute! There's no room for sentimentality on the fighting stage, don't you understand?"

Nanami crossed her arms, making her already incredibly full and alluring figure even more striking. Her beautiful eyes swept over Jiang Chuan's handsome figure, a smile playing on her lips, and she said confidently:

"Besides, Pokémon battles are a stage for the strong!"

"As a professional researcher and a discerning viewer, I only cheer for the truly strong!"

"Jiang Chuan fought well, his moves were exquisite, and his strength was overwhelming. If I don't cheer for him, am I supposed to cheer for you, who is less skilled?"

These words were spoken with righteous indignation and struck a chord with Xiao Mao!

Xiao Mao's lips twitched violently a few times, and he was completely defeated.

Speechless!

He was utterly speechless at his sister's betrayal!

With a dark expression, Shigeru gritted his teeth, pulled out a Poké Ball, and retrieved the utterly defeated Kingler.

He glared at Jiang Chuan, forcibly straightened his back, and arrogantly raised his chin, trying to salvage the last bit of his dignity:

"snort!"

"Jiang Chuan, don't get too cocky!"

"Even if you narrowly win this time, that's just the weakest Water-type Pokémon I have! My real core strength is still saved for last!"

Xiao Mao retracted the Poké Ball to his waist, stared intently at Jiang Chuan, and uttered a harsh threat:

"I've written down today's expenses!"

"The real competition will begin in the main tournament of the Indigo League!"

"When the time comes, I'll definitely show you my true strength! We'll see!"

Having said that, Xiao Mao didn't dare to stay any longer, fearing that if he stayed any longer, Nanami and Jiang Chuan would join forces to kill him and destroy his spirit.

He turned around, slunk away, and ran straight to his bedroom on the second floor of the research institute, where he retreated and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

Watching Gary's hasty retreat, Professor Oak, standing to the side, shook his head helplessly and burst into laughter:

"That brat, still so obsessed with saving face!"

"But Jiang Chuan, the way you've bred this giant claw crab has truly exceeded my expectations. Amazing, really amazing!"

After praising the research data a few more times, Professor Oak, seeing that there was nothing serious happening in the backyard, smiled and slipped back to the lab with his hands behind his back to process the research data.

Soon, only Jiang Chuan and Nanami remained on the field.

With Gary and Professor Oak absent, the atmosphere in the air suddenly became somewhat subtle and warm.

Nanami walked quickly to Jiang Chuan.

"Jiangchuan~"

"You were so cool just now! That kid Xiao Mao usually acts like he's got his tail wagging in the air at the research institute, only you could really put him down like that!"

Jiang Chuan casually put his arm around Nanami's perfectly slender waist, gently stroking her shapely curves with his hand, and said with a playful smile:

"What? I disciplined your own brother for you, and instead of feeling sorry for him, you're so happy?"

"Ugh, how annoying..."

Nanami blushed and snuggled into Jiang Chuan's arms, nuzzling his chest playfully and whispering:

"That kid deserves a beating! Besides... don't you know who he's after?"

"What I just said was all true. My room... you can come in whenever you want. You're welcome to come and do... research with me anytime~"

Nanami's suggestive words and charming demeanor aroused Jiang Chuan's passion. He never expected that this usually aloof and serious female researcher would be so passionate.

Jiang Chuan lifted Nanami's delicate chin and kissed her soft, tender red lips hard.

"Okay, I'll definitely come to see you more often."

Jiang Chuan released his grip and said with a smile:

That's all for today, I should go home now.

After bidding a reluctant farewell to Nanami, Jiang Chuan carefully put away his Poké Ball and began his journey home.

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

Before long, Jiang Chuan arrived near his own yard.

As soon as Jiang Chuan stepped outside the courtyard gate, he spotted the two beautiful and charming figures in the yard from a distance.

Next to the clothes rack in the center of the yard.

Hanako was wearing a loose, comfortable dress and was raising her arm to hang a freshly washed garment on the clothesline.

The garment was very small and thin; it was a pair of extremely visually alluring pure white silk panties!

After hanging up her own personal clothes, Hanako casually picked up a small, delicate piece of underwear from the basin—it belonged to Kasumi.

And on the steps next to Hanako.

Xiaoxia was wearing her signature yellow cropped tank top and denim shorts, revealing a pair of long, straight, fair legs.

At this moment, she was sitting on the steps, holding her delicate little face in her hands, staring blankly at the ants on the ground, feeling bored. She was as vacant as an adorable Psyduck, her expression filled with longing and boredom.

Looking at the warm and alluring courtyard, Jiang Chuan smiled slightly and slowly walked in.

"I'm talking about Xiaoxia..."

"Are you slacking off here again, leaving Hanako-nee to do all the work?"

That familiar voice just popped out!

Xiaoxia, who was sitting on the steps in a daze, suddenly shuddered!

He stood up with a "whoosh!"

"Jiangchuan!!"

Xiaoxia screamed, completely disregarding any ladylike image, and with her long, slender white legs, she rushed to Jiang Chuan in a flash!

"Thump!"

Xiaoxia clung tightly to Jiang Chuan's arm like a pendant.

"You're finally back!!"

"You've been away for so long for special training, do you know how much I've missed you?!"

"I've been waiting day and night, and if you don't come back soon, I'm going to run out and look for you!"

Hanako, who was hanging clothes to dry nearby, quickly put down what she was doing, wiped her wet hands with her apron, and hurried over.

"Welcome home, Jiangchuan."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Although Hanako didn't rush up to hug Xiaoxia like she did, her warm, tender eyes and slightly flushed ears spoke volumes about the burning passion and longing hidden deep within her heart.

As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

This brief separation did not diminish their feelings; on the contrary, it made them even closer.

Xiaoxia clung tightly to Jiang Chuan's arm, practically glued to him, and started chattering away as she pulled him into the house:

"Jiang Chuan, Jiang Chuan, I've been feeling uneasy these past few days without you home. I have this bad feeling all over me..."

"Did you encounter any danger during your research trip?"

"Those wild Pokémon didn't hurt you, did they? Are you alright?"

Seeing Xiaoxia's caring expression, Jiang Chuan felt a warm glow in his heart.

He raised his hand and gently ruffled Xia's bright orange short hair.

"Don't worry, what danger could there be?"

"Don't you know how capable I am?"

Xiaoxia puffed out her cheeks and muttered something under her breath:

"Hmph...bragging again!"

Despite saying that, Xiaoxia couldn't hide the happiness and sweetness on her face.

She sweetly pressed her delicate face against Jiang Chuan's strong arm, feeling the reassuring warmth and sense of security.

"Oh, right..."

Jiang Chuan patted his belly and laughed, interrupting the warm embrace:

"I've been out and about for so long, I'm a little hungry. Is there anything to eat at home?"

As soon as Jiang Chuan said he was hungry, Xiaoxia's eyes lit up!

She abruptly raised her head, patted her chest, and excitedly replied:

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes!"

"Jiang Chuan, wait here, I'll go make it for you!"

"ha?!"

Upon hearing Xiaoxia's words, Jiang Chuan's expression froze on his face, and his eyebrows twitched violently a few times.

Jiang Chuan instantly recalled the scene from their previous trip when Xiaoxia suddenly wanted to show off her cooking skills—it was a complete disaster!

Not only did they almost blow up the rice cooker, but what they served in the end were plates of dark, pungent-smelling "dark and destructive cuisine"!

Jiang Chuan looked at Xiaoxia, who was beaming with interest, with some suspicion, cleared his throat, and asked:

"You...make it for me?"

Seeing that Jiang Chuan actually doubted her abilities, Xiaoxia angrily stuck her toes out, glared at Jiang Chuan, and shouted indignantly:

"Hey! Jiang Chuan! Don't underestimate me!"

"A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days' absence, don't you understand?"

"While you've been out busy these past few days, I haven't had a moment's rest! I've been practicing my cooking skills in the kitchen with Hanako-nee every day!"

"I've learned several amazing dishes from Hanako-nee! I guarantee they'll be so delicious you'll swallow your tongue!"

Jiang Chuan patted Xiaoxia's little bottom and teased her with a smile:

"Okay, okay, okay!"

"Then I'll be really looking forward to seeing what kind of culinary feast our beautiful 'Mermaid Lady' from Cerulean City will prepare for me today!"

"Hmph! Just you wait and see what you'll look like!"

Encouraged by Jiang Chuan, Xiaoxia was as excited as a proud little peacock. She turned around and dashed into the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to get to work.

Hanako smiled gently behind him and whispered to Jiang Chuan:

"Jiang Chuan, go and rest on the sofa for a while."

"I'll hang the remaining two pieces of clothing up right away and go to the kitchen to watch her order."

Jiang Chuan smiled and nodded:

"Okay, with Hanako-neechan overseeing things, I feel much more at ease."

Hanako smiled shyly upon hearing this, then turned around and quickened her pace of hanging up the clothes.

Jiang Chuan stretched comfortably and strolled into the warm and clean living room.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Ibu and Togepi lying on the living room carpet, playing.

Upon seeing Pikachu return after so long, Eevee excitedly wagged its fluffy tail and came running over, while Togepi also wobbled and stretched out its little paws, cheering and playing together.

Looking at the two beautiful figures in the kitchen, busily working for her.

One person was chopping vegetables and cooking in the kitchen, while the other was gently giving instructions from the side.

The air was filled with the aroma of food and a warm, homey feeling.

Look again at the Pokémon playing happily on the floor.

This heartwarming scene of happiness and harmony brought Jiang Chuan an unprecedented sense of relaxation and comfort.

He exhaled a deep breath of stale air and slumped back against the cushions of the large, comfortable sofa.

Enjoying this rare moment of leisure and the beauty of daily life.

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

Time flies, and the warm and comfortable leisure days always pass by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, several days slipped away amidst laughter and tender moments.

Before we knew it, there were only ten days left until the official opening of the Quartz Convention, the highest-level event in the Kanto region this year!

The atmosphere in Pallet Town and even the entire Kanto region gradually became heated and tense.

In the streets and alleys of major towns, everyone is talking about the upcoming Indigo League, speculating which rookie trainer will stand out and claim the championship this year.

As the competition approached, Jiang Chuan stopped taking his Pokémon out for intensive outdoor training.

The experience and energy accumulated during these past few months of travel have laid an incredibly solid foundation.

In the ten days leading up to the competition, excessive fatigue can easily cause Pokémon to experience competitive fatigue.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan only conducts some daily physical maintenance and team coordination training in his own backyard.

However, there is still one more challenge in the pre-competition training.

Jiang Chuan was too lazy to make a special trip to the town's battle park to find those unlucky strangers with varying skill levels.

They simply turned their attention to their own family members.

The sun was shining brightly on the lawn in the backyard.

Jiang Chuan found Xia, who was grooming her Water-type Pokémon, and suggested with a smile:

"Xiaoxia, the Quartz Conference is just around the corner."

"The weather's nice today, how about we have a proper 1v1 match? Consider it a warm-up before the game."

"And by the way... how about a family feud!"

Upon hearing that she could battle Jiang Chuan, Xiaoxia jumped up from the grass in excitement.

She absolutely loves fighting Jiang Chuan, no matter what kind of fight it is...
