Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

Xiaoxia's imposing manner really intimidated her three older sisters.

The burning fighting spirit in those eyes, the ramrod-straight back, and that indomitable will left Sakura momentarily dazed.

It's as if I'm seeing my stubborn, troublesome younger sister from when I was little.

However, Sakura quickly came to her senses and gently shook her head.

"Xiaoxia, but I've already made an agreement with Jiang Chuan. It'll be a single match to decide the winner, and the badge..."

As she spoke, her gaze shifted to the blue badge box in Jiang Chuan's hand, the meaning clear—the rules should be agreed upon first.

"The badge is fine; Jiang Chuan can take it."

Xiaoxia interrupted her, her voice firm and resolute.

"But what follows is the dignity of our Cerulean Dojo, which cannot be taken away."

As she spoke, she took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly with the movement.

"As the trainer of the Cerulean Gym, I have a duty to uphold the gym's honor!"

These words were incredibly inspiring.

With her serious expression, she really did look like a trainer.

"But~"

Changpu walked over from the side, her voice languid.

The white swimsuit straps hung loosely on her shoulders, and the deep cleavage of her chest was faintly visible with each step she took.

"We've already lost six straight times!"

"My dignity has long been buried at the bottom of the pool."

"We couldn't beat that rookie trainer's Rattata from last week!"

As Changpu spoke, she made an exaggerated shrugging gesture.

The upper part of the swimsuit was pulled by this movement, and the neckline slipped down a few centimeters.

"And the week before last, that girl dressed like a rock singer, her supersonic bat..."

"stop!"

Xiaoxia suddenly raised her hand, interrupting Changpu's "battle report".

Her fair cheeks were flushed red.

"Six...six consecutive losses?"

Xiaoxia's voice trembled slightly.

Although she knew her dojo wasn't very good, she never expected it to be... this bad!

"you……"

She turned to look at her three older sisters, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"You're supposed to be Gym Leaders! How could you lose to a rookie Trainer?!"

"Hey, you can't say that~"

Peony also came over, her bright pink deep-V swimsuit particularly dazzling in the morning light.

She crossed her arms over her chest, a pose that made her already ample bust even more prominent.

"We're really taking this loss seriously!"

"Every challenger left happily with their badge!"

"It has a great reputation!"

She spoke with such conviction, as if the only purpose of the dojo was to give badges to newcomers.

Xiaoxia: "..."

She suddenly realized that her passionate declaration just now seemed a bit foolish.

Her three older sisters don't care about losing six games in a row, so why is she so upset about this?

But Xiaoxia bit her lower lip.

Their gazes turned back to Jiang Chuan.

That guy was standing by the pool, calmly watching the sisters argue.

A faint smile lingered at the corners of her lips.

It was as if they were watching some interesting performance.

That indomitable spirit surged up again.

"Then...then let's end this losing streak right now!"

Xiaoxia suddenly looked up and glared at Jiang Chuan.

"Jiang Chuan, do you dare to fight me again?!"

As she spoke, she took a step forward.

Bare feet made a crisp slapping sound as they stepped on the slippery tiles by the pool.

The hem of her swimsuit fluttered slightly with her movements, revealing her slender waist and a small section of her flat stomach.

This is exactly the plot direction Jiang Chuan wanted.

Now that Xiaoxia has taken the initiative to challenge him, it's only natural.

"Okay."

Jiang Chuan nodded casually.

"Let's see how powerful your Water-type Pokémon is."

"Great! I'll definitely show you something amazing!" Xiaoxia walked towards the battle stage with high spirits.

Barefoot feet stomped hard on the ground, making a pattering sound.

Her waist swayed gently with her steps, and her buttocks trembled slightly under the swim trunks.

Seeing her younger sister's confident demeanor, the three older sisters collectively expressed their pessimism.

"Hey, I hope Xia won't get beaten up and cry later?"

Sweet flag leaned close to peony's ear and whispered something.

"I guess so~"

Peony also lowered her voice and joined the discussion.

"Her Pokémon used to be worse than the little sea lion~"

"I remember before she went on her trip, the starfish could only spray water, and the goldfish couldn't even spray water steadily with its water gun~"

"With this level of skill, how can he possibly compete with Jiang Chuan?"

"Xiaoxia is so hard to comfort when she cries, she's incredibly stubborn!"

Changpu sighed, shifting her gaze from the battle arena to Jiang Chuan.

"Hey, Sakura-neechan~"

Suddenly remembering something, Acorus calamus turned to look at the cherry blossoms.

"How about we give Xia a little dessert today to cheer her up?"

She knew that Xiaoxia's favorite dessert was the strawberry cake from the dessert shop in the city center.

To maintain their figures, Sakura strictly controls her sisters' intake of sweets.

But today...

Cherry blossoms let out a soft sigh.

Helplessness was written all over his fair face.

"That's the only way to appease them."

As she spoke, her gaze fell on the battle stage.

Xiaoxia had already taken her position and was taking a red and white ball out of the treasure ball case at her waist.

His earnest expression softened Sakura's heart slightly.

"After I finish playing, I'll go buy a cake."

"You two are responsible for taking her to the changing room, don't let her sulk by the pool."

The three older sisters have already started preparing to comfort Xiaoxia.

It was as if the outcome of this battle was already predetermined.

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

"Come out, starfish!"

Xiaoxia confidently tossed the baby ball.

The movements were clean and crisp, showing no signs of a novice trainer's awkwardness.

White light fell into the pool.

The figure of a starfish appeared.

Its body is shaped like a five-pointed star, with a ruby ​​at its center shimmering in the morning light.

Jiang Chuan roughly estimated that Xiaoxia's starfish was at the peak of the beginner level, probably close to level 20.

"Come back, Pikachu."

"Huh?"

Xiaoxia was stunned.

Seeing Jiang Chuan call Pikachu back to his side, she thought Jiang Chuan was going to go easy on her.

"Jiang Chuan, why did you call Pikachu back?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head, his face displaying a perfectly measured "tired" expression.

"Pikachu didn't go to the Pokémon Center to recover yesterday, and it fought another battle today, so it's completely exhausted."

As he spoke, he looked down and exchanged a glance with Pikachu.

Pikachu~~~

Pikachu instantly understood.

Its whole body swayed, its ears drooped, and its tail hung listlessly.

It let out a long, drawn-out cry, then leaned weakly against Jiang Chuan's trouser leg.

The little head rubbed against Jiang Chuan's leg.

He looked like he was saying, "I'm so tired."

That's typical of an award-winning actor.

That acting is superb.

When Xiaoxia saw Pikachu's expression, most of her displeasure vanished.

Instead, a hint of smugness appeared.

It turns out that Jiang Chuan wasn't trying to go easy on his Pikachu; it's just that his Pikachu was really no good!

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Chuan raised his head and looked at Xiaoxia, his tone carrying a hint of "provocation".

"Aren't dojo challenge matches allowed to allow challengers to switch tactics?"

"Your Cerulean Gym... isn't good enough?"

He deliberately emphasized the word "no".

"sure!"

Xiaoxia immediately fell for it.

She puffed out her chest, her face beaming with pride, as if to say, "We're a legitimate dojo."

"Our Cerulean Dojo is a legitimate city dojo, so we definitely follow the rules!"

She spoke with absolute certainty.

Completely unaware, she had already been drawn into Jiang Chuan's rhythm.

Jiang Chuan chuckled inwardly, but his face remained impassive.

He took out another magic ball and gently tossed it out.

"Then, it's your choice, Butterfree."
