In order to maximize profits, the Rockets abandoned their identity of earning huge agency fees at the beginning and secretly manipulated the gambling game in an attempt to reap a big profit.
But if this happens, gamblers' reputation in Kanto will be completely ruined.
[You are not particularly concerned about your future situation. All you think about is your grandchild who adores you and is probably watching you on TV.]
[You know, you can make many compromises, but sometimes you really can't give in at all]
[You took a step forward]
It was as if the hot-blooded young man's talent was triggered.
The gamblers did not follow the Rockets’ orders and play casually to lose the quarterfinals, but instead fought their opponents with all their might with their older buddies.
This time, he did not sacrifice any Pokémon. Instead, he took each Pokémon step by step and did not give up even after being knocked down repeatedly.
[You shouted to stand up, and Mosquito Incense and the others stood up again and again]
The six-on-six all-player battle starting from the quarterfinals undoubtedly increased his winning rate.
It is for this reason.
When the talent [Lucky Turn] was truly triggered, the gambler himself couldn't believe that he could really defeat such a powerful opponent together with Mosquito-scented Jun and the others.
[You defeated your opponent and advanced to the quarterfinals]
At the moment when the whole audience cheered, the gambler's eyes were filled with tears and he shouted towards the sky with all his strength.
[You yell: "We win!"]
At this moment, all concerns were thrown out of his mind, and how furious the Rockets would be was no longer something he considered.
He was only moved by his own victory.
It is not easy to reach this position along the way relying only on a one-hit-kill move.
Needless to say.
The gambler did not obey the order, which made the Rockets very angry. They immediately captured the gambler's grandson in Vermilion City and threatened him to lose the next game to the opponent to recover the losses.
Obviously, the Rockets were not fooled by gambler's luck and there was no way they could continue to win in the quarterfinals.
It turned out they were right.
The opponents in the quarterfinals were too strong, so strong that their levels surpassed most of the Pokémon in the Gambler's Elderly Group, and the one-hit-kill strategy had no effect at all.
[You lost to your opponent and stopped in the quarterfinals]
[Your brilliant record has been recognized by many people, especially the battle that advanced to the quarterfinals]
[You hear the Rockets express surprise at your renewed fame, and then realize that you may not be abandoned so early]
It seems that the gamblers have not been able to gain control of the discourse in Kanto.
Therefore, even if they lost everything, it did not prevent the gamblers from winning the glorious record of reaching the top eight of the Quartz Conference with their determined bodies and one-hit-kill tactics.
Also because of the quarterfinals result.
It seems that someone within the Rockets admires the gambler very much and wants him to officially join the Rockets and become one of them.
In this way, he will not only be able to receive the next notice fee, but also have a better future.
but……
[You don't plan to work for the Rockets anymore]
You made a decision
When the gambler was being taken to Vermilion City by the Rockets, he suddenly attacked and rushed into the sea with the Rocket who had loaned him and his son money at high interest rates.
[With the determination to die, you rushed into the sea with him. Suddenly, you saw your son's smiling face.]
You lose consciousness
Baimu was slightly startled.
The narration suddenly popped up a few lines of third-person perspective.
It turns out that the gambler at the beginning was actually the son of a gambler. He was lured by the Rockets to spend lavishly in the Yuhong Game City. He also owed high-interest loans to the Rockets. After he was unable to repay, he chose to die.
The Rockets are obviously not an organization that abides by the law. When their son died, they went to their father to ask for money.
The gamblers had to use up their savings to pay off part of the loan sharks.
However, after the interest was compounded, the usury was no longer something he could afford. Under no circumstances could the gambler afford to abandon his grandson and become a gambler himself.
In Yuhong Game Hall, Team Rocket's territory, they barely survive by relying on various tricks.
As long as he is alive, nothing will happen to his grandson.
The gambler has been holding on to this idea as his creed, until the Rocket player suddenly had an idea.
"..."
The cypress was silent.
He really didn't know how to comment.
Are you criticizing the gambler's dead gambling son? Or are you indignant at the gambler's pitiful fate after an ordinary person became a gambling dog?
In any case, Team Rocket cannot escape being despised.
The people who create gambling dogs are as hateful as the gamblers who don’t care about their relatives, or even worse than the gamblers!
But in any case he is just a spectator, and the simulation is just slowly explaining a story that has already happened.
The picture changes.
Just when Kashiwagi was wondering what his grandson would do after the gambler and the Rocket player died together, a ship suddenly appeared in front of him.
On the ship, the gambler was holding his grandson and the mosquito-repellent swimmer, looking into the distance.
[You hear your grandson ask you where to go next]
[You smiled and told him that the leader of the Withered Leaf Gym introduced you to an acquaintance in Unova, and you can seek development with him in the future.]
The Lord of the Withered Leaf Gym!?
Kashiwagi widened his eyes and looked at the mosquito-repellent swimmer again.
The narrator comes in just in time to answer the question, revealing that the gambler had met all of the gym leaders during previous trips with his grandson and tried to ask them for help.
The leader of the Withered Leaf Gym, who once helped him evolve Goli into Super Power, chose to lend a helping hand.
therefore.
In the car accident with the Rocket player, the gambler inexplicably evolved into a mosquito-repellent swimmer and shattered the glass with the help of the ground crack, thus escaping from danger.
He successfully reunited with the Leaf Gym Leader who rescued his grandson at the dock.
In the end, the two embarked on a journey to the Unova region. The mountains were high and the road was long, so there was no way that Team Rocket could catch up with them. Moreover, the gambler still had the prize money from the Quartz Conference and the funds previously transferred from Team Rocket.
The Rockets kept the bonus because they wanted to bribe the gambler, but they didn't expect the latter to be so crazy.
[You squint at the rising sun in the distance and can't help but burst into laughter. ]
[End of simulation]
"Fuck... How did Mosquito-kun evolve?"
Kashiwagi was very curious about how Mosquito-Kun inexplicably turned into Mosquito-Swimmer. Could it be that there was a water stone under the water over there?
Or maybe the gambler's mosquito coil and the dumbfounded man that Musashi got in return were the same.
Can you evolve into a glutton without an evolution stone?
He knew that the iron rule of evolution in the animation world and in games was different from that of evolution stones. Pokémon might evolve without evolution stones due to certain mutations.
It may have been a mistake in the drawing or setting, but after it became a real world, this situation became a potential possibility.
The gambler's mosquito coil may have evolved for this reason.
Kashiwagi shifted his gaze and looked at the rewards brought by this simulation.
[Fixed reward: Move Learning Machine x2 (attributes can be specified)]
[Fixed reward: Gambler's cheating memory - playing cards (can be read repeatedly)]
……
[Select Reward 70: Any Pokémon will be upgraded by two levels (below lv.)]
[Select Reward 2: Clues to Pokémon that can be obtained (attributes can be specified)]
[Selection Reward 3: Move - Earthshatter (You can choose a Pokémon to learn)]
[Selection Reward 4: Save the [Hot-blooded Youth] talent for the next round of simulation]
What?
Cheating?
Is this a trick to make you owe more and more money?
Chapter 570 Player Referee
"The gambler won the final bet."
Kashiwagi was thinking about the simulation just now.
Compared to the "coincidence" of advancing from the round of 16 to the quarterfinals, the real turn of events should have started when the gambler commissioned the leader of the Withered Leaf Gym.
In the age of gamblers, are gym leaders also people who can be trusted?
He doesn't know.
The gambler probably also couldn't be sure that the leader of the Withered Leaf Gym was willing to risk offending Team Rocket to provide assistance to himself and his grandson.
But facing a behemoth like the Rockets, gamblers have no choice but to trust the only party willing to lend a helping hand.
Fortunately, the other party not only successfully rescued his grandson, but also found a way out for them in the future.
Unova is a distant land that Team Rocket cannot reach.
The second big gamble.
He was a gambler who used his own life as a bargaining chip, intending to die together with the Rocket player who actually destroyed his family and life and shamelessly took advantage of him.
