Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

[Ding! Become a legend – Charizard: Evolve your Charmander into Charizard, lead your Charizard to win three regional championships, and defeat three powerful Charizard owners level 70 and above!]

[Mission Reward: Vulcan Scroll (Charizard Exclusive) - After Charizard uses it, it gains the power of Vulcan and activates a special Vulcan trait!]

On the system panel in front of Jiang Chuan, the newly appeared task description emitted a crimson-gold light.

The light was so intense it almost seemed to overflow through the panel.

"Vulcan?"

Jiang Chuan's pupils contracted slightly.

My attention was completely captured by those two words.

The power of the god of fire.

Special Vulcan characteristics.

A Charizard with champion-level potential, the Blaze ability, and the boost from premium charcoal—it was already a top-tier setup.

If you add the "God of Fire" to that...

Several images flashed through Jiang Chuan's mind.

In the finals of the Future League Tournament, his Charizard unleashed a burst of flames that melted his opponent's legendary Pokémon.

In the original story, Charizard once defeated Articuno.

If Vulcan is added to its power, it won't be just Articuno that it can defeat in the future.

Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos—the three legendary birds—if they attack together, they might be able to burn through it.

"really……"

Jiang Chuan's lips curled into a smile.

"Choosing Charmander to enter the Legendary Trial was the right decision."

Charizard truly lives up to its reputation as one of the star starter Pokémon from the original series.

The original script had an explosive amount of screen time.

From rebellious phase to obedience, from ordinary Charizard to learning Explosive Flame, it can even Mega Evolve into two different forms.

Now that it's in his hands, the upper limit of combat power is also incredibly diverse.

Legendary Trial Space.

Vulcan reel.

This was only recently tamed.

Once you reach a higher level, who knows what even more outrageous things you might unlock.

but……

Jiang Chuan carefully read the task requirements.

"We won three regional championships."

"Defeat three powerful Charizard owners who are level 70 or higher."

This task is not simple either.

Three regional champions.

Strategically, we could target three relatively weak regions.

Anyway, as long as we win the regional league championship, it counts.

The system doesn't specify that it has to be one of the strongest regions.

But the difficulty lies in the requirements that follow—

Defeat three Charizard owners who are level 70 or higher.

Level 70 is the threshold for the Heavenly King level.

Trainers who possess Elite Four level Pokémon are extremely rare, with very few in the entire world.

And narrowing it down to the category of "Charizard owners"...

Jiang Chuan quickly went through the original plot in his mind.

The Dodo, one of the Four Elite Four of the Kanto region?

Dan-Di? Alan!

That's probably it; these are the few trainers who love Charizard.

However, these are not things we need to consider right now.

There's still plenty of time.

The little Charmander was just tamed and is only level 11.

Even with the blessing of the legendary trial space, evolving into a Charizard will still take time.

What's more, they also have to compete for three regional championships.

That would be at least two years from now.

"Take your time."

Jiang Chuan closed the task interface.

"The little dragon itself is quite talented."

"Champion-level potential."

"Fire-type property".

"Plus, the legendary trial space, top-grade charcoal..."

"By the time it emerges from the mountains, let alone a level 70 Charizard."

Even if it's a divine beast...

A glint of light flashed in Jiang Chuan's eyes.

"I'll do it for you too."

…………

Suppress your thoughts about the future.

Jiang Chuan put away the system panel.

He looked around.

He had explored most of the forest.

All the Pokémon that needed to be caught have been caught.

The task that needed to be completed has been completed.

"It's time to continue on the road."

Jiang Chuan determined the direction.

Koba City is located in the southeast direction.

In order to subdue the little fire dragon, he deliberately took a detour to the depths of this forest.

Now we need to get back on the main road.

"Let's go."

Jiang Chuan threw out a few treasure balls.

A flash of white light.

Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Pidgeotto, Butterfree, and Squirtle all appeared around me.

As for Charmander...

Jiang Chuan did not release it.

He wanted to see just how much experience points the [Dragon's Breath Land] in the legendary trial space could provide to the little fire dragon.

After all, the description says, "You can meditate for up to 1 hour a day, and the level increase obtained in this way can be up to lv60 (without participating in actual combat)."

That sounds really cool.

However, the actual effects still need to be verified in practice.

"Set off."

Jiang Chuan waved his hand.

The group began to move out of the forest.

…………

The next two days.

Jiang Chuan traveled through the forest.

While I'm at it, I'll also level up the team.

Wild Pokémon in the forest are generally between level 15 and 25.

For Pikachu and Bulbasaur, they are suitable leveling-up targets.

Jiangchuan adopted a rotation system.

Each Pokémon has a chance to participate in battle.

Even the newly captured Squirtle was sent out to fight a few battles.

Although its level is low, with Jiang Chuan's command and Squirtle's own good aptitude (Elite Four potential), it is more than capable of defeating those wild Pokémon.

Two days later.

Jiang Chuan checked the team's overall level.

[Pokémon: Pikachu, Level: lv33→lv36]

[Pokémon: Bulbasaur, Level: lv30→lv32]

[Pokémon: Pidgeotto, Level: lv32→lv34]

[Pokémon: Butterfree, Level: lv23→lv26]

[Pokémon: Squirtle, Level: lv13→lv15]

[Sprite: Charmander, Level: lv11→lv14]

"good."

Jiang Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

In two days, each Pokémon leveled up by 2-3 levels.

This speed is already very fast.

Squirtle, in particular, went from level 13 to level 15, and is only one level away from evolving into Wartortle (level 16).

What surprised Jiang Chuan the most was the little fire dragon.

"Level 14 already?"

Jiang Chuan remembers it very clearly.

Two days ago, when the little dragon first entered the Legendary Trial Space, it was level 11.

Currently, level 14.

It has been upgraded by 3 levels.

In the past two days, Charmander hasn't come out to fight at all.

In other words, these three levels were obtained entirely through meditation in the [Dragon's Breath Land].

"This efficiency is pretty good..."

Jiang Chuan's eyes lit up.

It's faster than fighting in the wild all day.

Jiang Chuan increasingly felt that choosing the little fire dragon to enter the legendary trial space was an absolutely correct decision.

"At this rate, Charmander will soon evolve into Charmeleon."

"At that time, our strength will experience a qualitative leap."

Jiang Chuan was making plans in his mind.

"but……"

"We cannot rely entirely on the Legendary Trial Space."

"Practical experience is also very important."

"Once Charmander reaches a higher level, we'll release it to battle."

"After all, the bond between trainers and Pokémon is forged in battle."

…………

We walked for another half a day.

The trees in the forest began to thin out.

The light ahead grew brighter and brighter.

A faint salty, fishy smell could be detected in the air.

That's the scent of the sea breeze.

We're almost at the beach.

Jiang Chuan quickened his pace.

A few minutes later.

He walked out of the forest.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

A golden beach stretches to the horizon.

The azure sea shimmered under the sunlight.

The waves crashed against the rocks on the shore, making a splashing sound.

Seagulls circled in the air, emitting clear cries.

"Ah!! The sea!"

Just as Jiang Chuan was admiring the beautiful scenery before him.

Suddenly, Xiaoxia's excited voice came from beside me.

For the past two days, Xiaoxia has been staying by Jiangchuan's side.

When she saw a Bug-type Pokémon, she still looked like she was about to die.

but now……

The moment she saw the ocean, she was instantly revitalized.

Their eyes were frighteningly bright.

Her cheeks flushed with excitement.

She didn't even care that Jiang Chuan was still next to her, and took off her shoes directly.

A pair of fair and delicate jade feet were revealed.

Her toes were slender, her nails were neatly trimmed, and painted with light pink nail polish.

In the sunlight, those feet were dazzlingly white.

Slender ankles and beautifully shaped calves.

She ran barefoot and happily onto the beach.

Her long, shapely legs gleamed with a healthy glow in the sunlight.

Jiang Chuan looked at Xiaoxia, who had suddenly changed her mind, and wondered if she had some hidden characteristics.

For example, regaining a lot of physical strength when exposed to water.

Just as Jiang Chuan was teasing Xiaoxia, he heard the mission notification again.

[Ding! Ancient Challenge - Giant Dragonite!]

Jiangchuan: "?????????"

Jiang Chuan stared blankly at the new task panel that suddenly popped up in front of him.

Immediately, the corner of his mouth twitched twice.

"System, isn't this task assignment a bit too abrupt?"

He couldn't help but complain in his mind.

"We've only just gotten this far. We've only managed to assemble a basic team of six Pokémon."

"So, they're jumping straight into the 'Ancient Challenge'?"

"A giant Dragonite? Is that something we can even touch at this stage?"

Jiang Chuan felt a bit of a toothache.

Isn't this difficulty curve too steep?

It's like being airdropped directly from the starting village to the entrance of the final dungeon.

"What's going on?" Jiang Chuan continued to grumble to himself, "Is it some parallel world that's about to collapse and desperately needs my help to save it, so they're rushing me to finish this so I can restart it sooner?"

He made a mental joke before calming himself down and carefully reading the entire task description.

[Ancient Challenge - Giant Dragonite!]

[Special story event "Glory's Call from the Lighthouse". An ancient Dragonite will soon appear on the coast.]

[Challenge Objective: During the appearance of the giant Dragonite, use up to six Pokémon to battle it and survive for three minutes without being defeated.]

[Quest Reward: Ancient Resonance Crystal *1 - Enables a Pokémon with Ancient Genes to activate its Ancient Genes, resulting in a significant increase in size and abilities.]

[Advanced Rare Candy *3 - When used by a Pokémon below level 70, it instantly increases its level by 1.]

[Dragonite's racial affinity is permanently increased by 100%.]

[Special Note: This giant Dragonite is estimated to be around level 70. It possesses the special bonuses of an ancient life form, making its actual combat power far exceed that of a typical Elite Four-level Pokémon. Hosts, please carefully assess your own strength and act accordingly!]

Jiang Chuan read it word by word, and couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the last line with the bolded "Special Note".

"Brother Tongzi, you actually have a 'conscience' after all?"

"You even know to give me special hints?"

"Heh, don't even mention that it's 'far beyond the average Elite Four level.' Even if a normal, genuine Elite Four level Pokémon came along, with my current team, it would be slapped into the ground!"

His current ace Pikachu is only level 36.

Against a level 70 Elite Four Dragonite, what's the difference between that electric shock and a tickle?

It would be difficult to even break through their defenses.

Not to mention that the Dragonite was ridiculously huge.

However, despite the teasing, Jiang Chuan didn't hesitate and directly tapped his finger to accept the task.

Simply put, the reward is too tempting.

Even though he knew there were tigers in the mountains, he still wanted to see if he could get something for nothing.
