Since it was the first gym, the Gambler who defeated both Pokémon won the final victory.
[You defeated the Jade Rainbow Gym Leader and obtained the Jade Rainbow Badge]
“Fuck… That’s amazing…”
Kashiwagi does have a little admiration for the gambler, but how far can such a tactic sustain him?
The Pokémon battles in the animation are not games. If he played like this in a game, he might really be able to defeat the entire league.
But it turns out.
There are always one or two outrageous people in an outrageous world.
The successful acquisition of the Jade Rainbow Badge gave the gambler confidence in challenging the League Conference. He borrowed some money from Team Rocket again as funds for traveling and expanding his Pokémon team, and set out on his journey.
"Can we borrow this? I don't think Team Rocket is that smart."
There is almost no place to spit in the cypress trough.
The Rockets are lucky enough to get a badge that allows them to borrow money. Does the Rockets have so much money that they have no place to spend it?
The gambler's next target is Jinhuang City, located east of Yuhong City. If he didn't know the year of the gambler's story, Kashiwagi felt that this guy would probably be stuck here.
How could Nancy be killed so easily by a [one-hit-kill] move?
Unfortunately, in the simulated era, the gym leader of Golden City is a karate warrior who uses Fighting-attribute Pokémon.
[You start to challenge the Golden Gym]
As usual, the ground cracked from the beginning to the end. Kashiwagi felt that the muscular gym leader on the screen was almost speechless. He had never beaten such a trainer before.
A ground-breaking adventure! ?
Chapter 567: The Killing Squad
The good luck from last time did not continue.
[You lost to the Golden Gym Leader]
The gambler who walked out of the Golden Gym was not discouraged and walked straight out of the city.
[You know very well that what is more important than having another lucky victory over the gym leader is whether the gym leader can agree with this fighting method.]
"Ah~"
Kashiwagi suddenly realized that he had done some homework after becoming the temporary head of the museum.
It can be said that the gym owner has great power. As long as there is a legitimate reason, he can refuse to issue the gym badge to the challenger even if the challenger eventually wins the game.
And in this age of gamblers, the power of gym leaders is expected to be even higher.
Once the gambling tactics anger the other party, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless.
Essentially.
It is too fantastic that only one Pokémon that can use a one-hit-kill move can defeat the three Pokémon of the gym leader.
Even if they win by luck in the end, the gym leader may not be able to accept it.
[You deeply understand that if you want to win when the cards are revealed, you must have enough chips in your hand]
What gambler's thinking and creed.
Kashiwagi secretly complained, but he also agreed with the basic logic of the gambler, and understood why the old man hurried out -
Capture new Pokémon.
The gambler and Mosquito-Repellent continued to search in the wilderness, passing by many wild Pokémon, with a very clear purpose.
[You helplessly discover that the wrist strength that you can usually find even in the city seems to have become a rare existence in the wild. Is this the punishment of the gambling god for you?]
This can be learned through the narration.
Although the gambler was determined to embark on the journey, he was really old and had no reliable means of transportation. In his era, even Kanto, which was a mainstream area, had poor infrastructure.
Therefore, it took the gambler a lot of effort just to capture the second Pokémon.
Fortunately, the talent of Good Luck has been triggering well.
The gamblers who failed to find any wrist power in the wild chose to buy a Haoli who was eliminated by their construction company because of his age through the Rockets at a low price.
Kashiwagi: "..."
Who owes whom money? Why are the Rockets so willing to cooperate with the gamblers?
He really didn't understand.
What made him even more sad was the situation of Goli. After the beastly Team Rocket had exploited that guy's labor, they were still unwilling to let him go. They sold him and squeezed out every last bit of his value.
This simulation plot is so heavy...
[You have gained the power to retire, and the number of older people has increased]
[You briefly familiarized yourself with Hao Li, and then headed to the Golden Gym without stopping to launch a second challenge]
Needless to say.
The gambler's purpose in taming Goli must be to have it join his own one-hit-kill system. Besides, Goli is a Pokémon that is more suitable for using one-hit-kill moves than Mosquito-kun.
Because of its characteristic [no defense].
The effect in the game is to ignore the hit rate of the moves, and you will definitely be able to hit the opponent, but you will also be easily hit by the opponent.
With the [Groundbreaking] that Hao Li can also learn, he can be said to be a child in the game. He has no way to deal with Pokémon with flying attributes.
of course.
These are limited to games.
There are no guaranteed hit moves in the anime world. To put it bluntly, the so-called "no defense" feature is actually a suicide attack, which means giving up on dodging and trying your best to hit the opponent once.
However, although the older Hao Li that the gambler got was of a decent level, it just couldn't yet perform the Earth-Splitting Skill. So why was he so eager to challenge the gym?
The answer is clear.
[You sent out Gouriki in a pretentious manner, and after it was defeated due to your casual command, you naturally sent out Mosquito-kun, and the familiar bet on the ground cracking began.]
[Your mosquito-repellent man defeated the fast puncher, the flying kicker, and the wrist strength]
[You defeated the Golden Gym Leader and obtained the Golden Badge]
That's right.
Haoli exists for sacrifice.
It makes Mosquito-Repellent, who defeats his opponent with one blow, appear relatively less abrupt. He uses one card to cover up another card and achieve his true purpose.
【Heart as hard as stone】.
"Um……"
Kashiwagi silently watched the gambler on the screen celebrating with Goli and Mosquito-incense in the pub with a feast. When he saw the smiling face on Goli's head, he didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, gamblers are not stingy with Pokémon, but they also feel complicated about Hao Li's experience.
anyway.
The gambler, who now has two partners, once again embarks on his journey to challenge the gym by relying on his gambling luck.
[You decide to go to Vermilion City next and come to the underground passage]
Kashiwagi was surprised that the underground passage in the Kanto region had already been built at that time.
But what left him speechless was that gamblers came to the underground passage not to speed up their progress, but for the pachinko machines hidden there.
He is indeed a gambler.
It's like a dog that can't change its eating habits.
Looking at the gambler who was playing in front of the pachinko machine with a look of excitement, Kashiwagi finally understood where the talent of "Hot-blooded Boy" came into play.
So it is true in gambling! You are young so you take a big gamble, right?
[You lost most of your money, and were dragged away by Mosquito-scented man and Haoli when you were high]
in the screen.
It seemed that the gambler, who was obsessed with gambling, was forcibly dragged away by two Pokémon and had to continue his journey to Vermilion City.
And soon they arrived at Vermilion Leaf City.
[You came to Vermilion City, which is the leading international port in Kanto. The prosperous scene shocked you. You exclaimed that this is different from thirty years ago.]
Thirty years ago…
It seems that the gambler also traveled when he was young?
Kashiwagi raised an eyebrow.
It is not surprising that the leader of the Withered Leaf Gym is not Ma Zhishi. It is estimated that the Air Force Major is still very young and has not yet started serving in the Unova region.
But the property is still electrical property.
After losing to the gym owner using the old trick and confirming that the other party agreed with this combat mode, the gambler once again approached Team Rocket to try to borrow some travel funds.
[You confidently say that you are old and there are too many places that cost money when traveling. At worst, you can pay it all back after you get the bonus.]
And then I actually borrowed it.
Kashiwagi: “???”
But just as he was wondering whether the Rockets of that era were idiots, the scene changed.
The main perspective is separated from the gambler.
After the gambler got his money and left, the two Rockets players chatted casually.
Through the narration, we learned that the two took advantage of the gambler's one-hit-kill tactics to place bets within Team Rocket, attracting many people to join.
As the gambler defeated the Golden Gym, even the boss of Team Rocket heard the news and seemed to have the idea of using the gambler for marketing to harvest the trainer market. This is why they cooperated with the gambler again and again, borrowing money and helping to find Pokémon.
In other words, the gambler thought he got a good deal, but in fact the Rockets got a bigger advantage, which was beyond his imagination.
Kashiwagi watched the gambler come to the beach in silence, becoming more and more curious about the ending of the story.
[You came to Dead Leaf Beach, searching for your target]
