Chapter 271: Gambling on Stones in Quehuo Town (conducted in the form of a doubles match)

After staying in Civet Town for a few days, Uncle Bai and Hai Mo went back to their own business. Uncle Bai had to leave Civet Town early in the morning because he had to solve a new product problem. Hai Mo left Civet Town after having lunch with the Pokémon.

The weather is very good today, the sky is blue, the wind is cool, and the Pikachus passing by are yellow. Everything is just right.

At this moment, Heimer passed through a city called Cuiyu City on his way to the Battle Palace. A gambling stone event was being held in this city today.

Simply put, precious stones are chips for participating in the event, and a precious stone represents an opportunity to participate in a stone gambling event.

People who participate in the event will place their own chips, and then compete in a Pokémon duel to win each other's chips, that is, to win each other's stones.

Of course, such a confrontation can only take place with the consent of both parties.

Heimer definitely plans to check out such an interesting activity.

After all, Heimer actually had a stone that met the conditions for the event, and that was the Leaf Stone that the Lizard King obtained when he defeated the champion at the previous Garden Festival.

Firstly, he didn't have any Pokémon around him that needed Leaf Stones to evolve. Secondly, wouldn't it be great if he could make a lot of money from Evolution Stones through this stone gambling activity?

In this way, Heimer participated in this event with such greedy ideas.

The gambling on stones is carried out on a fenced-off street in Cuiyu Town. Everyone wears their own name tags with the names of the stones they are going to use as chips written on them.

In addition, Heimer discovered after understanding the rules... Everyone only has one chance to compete. The phrase "a precious stone represents an opportunity to participate in the stone gambling event" on the event poster actually means that everyone only has one chance to compete.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is understandable. After all, vicious competition can happen anywhere, and such rules can be regarded as protecting those who participate in the event.

At this moment, Heimer had already put on his name tag with Ye Zhishi written on it.

He was seen looking around among the crowd attending the event, hoping to find the stone he wanted.

Unfortunately, most of the chips used by the people participating in the event are Water Stones, but Water Stones are not what Heimer and the Pokémon need right now.

(Hmm... Why are there so many Water Stones... Wait!! That is!!!)

Just when Heimer was a little disappointed with this activity, a nameplate with the words "Awakening Stone" appeared in front of Heimer.

(Awakening Stone!!! There is actually an Awakening Stone in this area?!! Hmm... Anyway, if it is true, Poison Rose can evolve into Roserade!!!)

Having found his target, Heimer immediately stepped forward and caught the girl named Lingyun whose name tag had the word Awakening Stone written on it.

Lingyun: "Ah!!! You! What do you want to do!!!"

Chi Haimo: "Ah, sorry..."

After letting go of Lingyun's arm, Heimer spoke to her softly.

Chi Haimo: "Well, can you fight me? My bargaining chip is Ye Zhishi."

Lingyun: "Ah? Oh, sorry... I was just looking for a suitable stone, so I was startled by you. Hello, my name is Lingyun."

Chi Haimo: "Well, my name is Chi Haimo, just call me Haimo, um, so, do you really have the Awakening Stone?"

In response to Heimer's question, Lingyun nodded and took out her "Awakening Stone" from her bag.

A stone wrapped in green sugar paper...

Chi Haimo: "This...isn't the Awakening Stone."

After Heimer finished speaking, he pulled off the candy wrapper on the stone. He thought there was an ordinary stone under the candy wrapper, but who knew that under the green candy wrapper, there was actually a fire stone! !

Lingyun: "Ah?! I was actually cheated... Well, I saved up money to buy this Awakening Stone from a Magikarp vendor. Well... I was thinking of using this Awakening Stone, which is rare in the Kanto region, to find a suitable stone in a gambling event... But now it seems that there is no hope..."

Heimer looked at the Fire Stone in Lingyun's hand and confirmed that it was the real thing, then he pondered for a few seconds. Then he slowly asked Lingyun.

Chi Haimo: "What kind of stone do you want to find in this gambling event?"

Lingyun: "Hmm... Actually it's the Leaf Stone, which can evolve my Smelly Flower."

Chi Haimo: "Then, have a gambling stone duel with me."

Lingyun: "Ah? But..."

Chi Haimo: "Although the Awakening Stone is fake, the Fire Stone is real, so come on."

Facing Heimer's challenge, Lingyun spoke happily in a grateful tone.

Lingyun: "Oh, really? Thank you so much."

Chi Haimo: "Hahaha, your reaction is as if I will definitely lose to you."

Lingyun: "Hahaha, that's not what I meant. However, the strength of me and my Pokémon is really unmatched by ordinary people. We have already obtained six badges, hehe."

Chi Haimo: "I see, well, then let's go to the battle venue prepared by the event organizer."

Lingyun: "Yeah, okay."

After the two arrived at the battle venue prepared by the organizer, they went to the two sides of the venue respectively.

At this moment, the referee from the organizer is already in place.

Referee: "Then, the gambling stone duel between Leaf Stone and Fire Stone will begin now! This duel will adopt the rules of doubles battle. Both parties please take out all your Poké Balls."

Hearing this, Heimer immediately asked in confusion.

Chi Haimo: "Ah? Why, take out all the Poké Balls."

Referee: "Because this is also one of the rules of participating in the competition. The Pokémon for the gambling stone duel needs to be drawn by the referee."

Upon seeing this, Heimer immediately took out his pocket pilot again and checked the poster of the event. In the lower left corner of the poster, there was indeed a line of small words stating the rules.

(Ah, this... another line of small print!!!)

Heimer had no choice but to take out the six Poké Balls on him.

After the referee drew with both hands, the Pokémon participating in the gambling stone duel were determined at this moment.

After the referee had drawn the Pokémon that Heimer and Lingyun would send into the field, he returned to his seat and spoke slowly.

Referee: "Now, both sides please send out your Pokémon!"

Lingyun: "Go! Big Milk Tank! Sun Coral!"

Chi Haimo: "Please, Katie Dog, Coyote Dog!"

Four Pokémon Balls fell onto the battlefield at the same time. There was a flash of white light. After Miltank and Coraline came out of the Poké Balls, Growlithe and Hound also jumped out of the Poké Balls.

As soon as Growlithe came out of the Pokéball, it happily pounced on Heimer.

The coyote dog pounced on Hammer out of fear because it heard too many noisy noises and smelled too many unfamiliar smells.

Faced with the double attack of the Katnid and the Coyote, Heimer was knocked down by them in an instant.

Katie: "Katy~"

Coyote: "Awoo..."

The Katie licked Heimer's cheek happily, while the Coyote hid in Heimer's arms in fear.

After seeing this scene, Lingyun smiled gently and said.

Lingyun: "Wow... You have a good relationship with your Pokémon."

Hearing Lingyun's words, Heimer replied with a smile.

Chi Haimo: "Well, after all, they are both very important friends of mine. But, Lingyun, can you please give me some time now?"

Lingyun: "Oh, okay."

After getting Lingyun's answer, Heimer gently picked up the coyote with his right hand and gently stroked the Katie's head with his left hand.

Chi Haimo: "Well, okay, okay, Coyote, it's okay, I'm with you, and you have Brother Katie with you, right?"

Katie: "Katy~"

When Caterpillar heard what Heimer said, he immediately nodded happily.

After the coyote calmed down a little, Heimer gently put the coyote on the ground.

At this moment, because the coyote was still a little scared, Cati immediately ran to him, licked the coyote's cheek gently, then jumped under the coyote and carried him on his back.

Coyote: "Woo."

For some reason, the warm temperature and furry touch emanating from the Katie Dog made the Coyote Dog gradually relax.

After Growlithe happily ran to the battlefield, Coyote slowly got off his back and then got into a posture ready for fighting.

Seeing that the Gator and the Coyote were ready, Heimer immediately nodded to the referee and Lingyun to signal them that they could start the duel.

Seeing this, the referee sat in his seat, raised the auction hammer in his hand and said.

Referee: "Now, the game begins!!!"

As the hammer hit the table, the battle officially began.

Lingyun: "Brothers!! For Vileplume!!! Come on!!! Miltank uses rolling attack!! Suncoral uses spike cannon!!"

After hearing Lingyun's instructions, Milkman immediately curled up his body into a ball and rolled towards Growlithe and Coyote at a high speed.

The sun coral immediately gathered its energy at its horns and shot it out rapidly. In an instant, the sharp needles covered the entire sky and fell down at a high speed. It seemed that there was no place to dodge.
