Facing a dilemma.

The gambler didn't struggle as long as Kashiwagi thought.

After an initial attempt, he found that he really didn't have much talent for cultivating Pokémon, so he threw the problem to Team Rocket.

[Do you think that even if you are lucky enough to get a few badges, it is impossible to cause such a big fluctuation, it can only be that Team Rocket is behind it]

[You understand that no matter what Team Rocket wants, the bargaining chips with them have increased]

Boy!

Negotiate with Team Rocket!

Kashiwagi is about to start admiring the gambler, how can ordinary people have this kind of guts, and it's not that he is a team rocket trio who is too funny.

This organization, which has been lurking in the Guandu region for a long time with the intention of expanding outward, has never been a good man and a woman.

Sakaki is by no means as comic as Meow imagined......

Is it Sakaki's turn to take the throne in the current era?

As he pondered, the gambler in the picture was suddenly put in a sack.

Follow.

A violent beating began.

[You didn't expect Team Rocket's reaction to be so fierce, and you can only endure silently in the face of their attacks]

Fifty-seven years old is a rather embarrassing age group even for people in the Pokémon world.

Although his physical strength is not comparable to that of an age person, he can barely resist beating, and he is not as brittle as the bones of a seventy or eighty-year-old man, and he is not beaten.

In a word.

Team Rocket warns him against the insatiable beatings, and the gamblers endure it.

[You hear that the other party agreed to your request, and you endure the pain in various parts of your body, showing a smile]

"Uh-huh......

Kashiwagi's expression was a little complicated.

Torture and beatings were common in the Orray region, but being in the main set always made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Of course, he also understands that this is caused by the deep filter of his own time.

Peace in the main series wasn't built overnight, at least in the era of gamblers, and Team Rocket, who lurked in the shadows, did a lot of blatant evil things like usury and physical threats.

Isn't there anything new under the sun......

And the gambler's request is also very simple, let the people of Team Rocket help him find the remaining two Pokémon of high enough level to complete the establishment of the team.

It doesn't matter if he has a level, after all, his tactical style is a one-hit kill.

By the way, there are upgrades for pincer crabs and gophers.

Without rank, he has no winning rate.

[You know that if your reputation is based on Team Rocket's propaganda, then they will agree to your request anyway]

The gambler had never had the luxury of threatening fame to beg Team Rocket to spare him and his grandson, the kind of daydream that even a gambler like him would not believe.

The Rockets also did not casually comply with the gamblers' requests, and they asked the latter to promote themselves on television and enhance their gold content.

The screen begins to speed up.

During this time, there were several scenes of the gambler talking to his grandson.

This made Kashiwagi wonder if he could find the news that gamblers were on TV when he searched for it, and it looked like it was very popular.

It didn't take long.

The gambler gets the two Pokémon that complete the team from Team Rocket.

[You got a diamond-horned rhinoceros with whitish skin, and the old man has increased]

[You got a white sea lion with extremely long canine teeth, and the old guy has increased]

There are only two situations when a Pokémon has a high energy level -

One, old enough.

Second, the combat effectiveness is strong enough.

Compared with the latter, the former is significantly more satisfying.

The narrator says that Team Rocket has a lot of high-level Pokémon that are too old to sell, and their combat effectiveness has been affected, but they can meet the needs of gamblers.

The gambler was not picky and happily accepted the two Pokémon.

As for leveling up the pincer crab and gopher

On the other hand, Team Rocket's method is also very simple and crude, handing it over to the professional Pokémon breeders in the team, and then sending various Pokémon as experience babies.

This is the simplest way to do it, cumbersome but effective.

[You rejected Team Rocket's idea of using research drugs on pincer crabs and gophers]

The gamblers still have a little more conscience than the frenzied Rocket, and they don't feed the pincer crabs and gophers, even if the progress will be slow.

With the four Pokémon in his hand, he embarked on a journey to Hualan City.

Maybe it's because I've been on TV.

Gamblers no longer look for places to gamble as soon as they arrive in a new city, as if they are afraid that their reputation will be affected.

Merely.

This time the gamblers finally ate the closed door.

[You were rejected by the owner of the Hualan Dao Pavilion, and the other party is a person as strict as the wind and disdain, and he is the most disdainful of your gimmicky challenge method]

The price of fame is that the gambler is known to many gym owners.

Some are receptive to the gambler's tactical style, while others are extremely dismissive of his "opportunistic" approach.

Pokémon should fight in a dignified manner!

What a real trainer is relying on one-hit kills!

There are many such opposition voices.

"Kasumi's mother?"

Kashiwagi looked at the female pixel figure in the picture.

The latter's hair color is orange, which is a bit similar to Xiaoxia, but it looks a little older.

Xiaoxia's grandmother or grandmother?

It's not impossible.

Speaking of Xiaoxia's three older sisters, their hair colors are yellow, blue, and red, plus her orange, which makes it quite doubtful that Xiaoxia's parents have several hair color genes.

Inside the light screen.

The gambler who had eaten a closed door had to leave Hualan City, fortunately his environment was an animation background, even if a well-known gym like Hualan Daoguan rejected him, there were other gyms to choose from.

The screen turns.

The gamblers went straight back the way they came, returned to the city of Withered Leaves through the gopher hole, and headed further east in the Kanto.

He came to Black Cloud City.

[You came to Heiyun City, the bustling industrial city makes you feel extremely novel, and those large and small chimneys make you feel the changes of the times]

Black Cloud City?

Kashiwagi was slightly stunned, and immediately remembered that Ash had been here.

It's just that in Ash's time, Heiyun City has been abandoned by industrial wastewater and waste residue, and the sewers have been blocked with stinky mud and stinky mud.

No wonder it sounds so familiar.

Here the gambler found a gym willing to accept him, and the owner was as young as ever.

It seems to confirm that only young people can accept such "new" things.

The four older Pokémon rotated with each other, and this time the gambler challenged three times, using the three moves of [Earth Split], [Angle Diamond], and [Absolute Zero] to win.

[You defeated the owner of the Black Cloud Gym and obtained the Black Cloud Badge]

"The name of this city is a direct prediction of what the future will look like." Kashiwagi was full of troughs and didn't know where to go, watching the gambler continue to move forward.

Soon after.

The gamblers came to Aster Town.

However, unlike the famous Pokémon Graveyard in the game, Shion Town in the anime is just a place where ghost-type Pokémon haunt more frequently.

The Pokémon Tower, which is used to place Pokémon tombstones in the game, is just an uninhabited castle in the anime, and there are rumors of ghosts haunting it.

The gamblers are here to challenge the gym.

【You decided to challenge the Shion Gym】

The Shion Gym is a very unexpected ghost attribute gym for Kashiwagi, and the Pokémon used by the owner of the gym are the Geng Ghost family - Ghost Si, Ghost Stone and Geng Ghost.

There was something strange about his expression.

These three can't be the three that came later in the Pokémon Tower, right?

It's not good to say, the Geng ghost family suffered a dark loss from the early appearance, and the animation is flooded, and it is not a particularly rare and precious Pokémon at all.

And the gambler is probably going to be deflated.

As expected, the gambler couldn't beat the Shien Gym at all, and he challenged it five times in a row and didn't fight.

There is no other reason - the three generals are lost!

Gamblers have always relied heavily on Mosquito Coil-kun and Strange Force, one is the old buddy he is most familiar with, and the other has a relatively higher shooting percentage without defense.

However, the ground crack has no effect on Pokémon with levitation characteristics.

The Horned Rhinoceros has no effect on the Spectre stat.

Other words.

Gamblers can only rely on the absolute zero degree of the white sea lion to attack the Geng ghost family of the Ziyuan Gym, and it is too difficult and difficult for such a thin chip to turn the tables around.

It seems that the operation of the time has also failed.

[Faced with an almost impossible battle, you can only reluctantly announce that you will give up and go to the next city]

The talent of a hot-blooded teenager doesn't seem to have any effect on gamblers?

Kashiwagi saw that the gambler gave up the challenge so easily, and thought of the first simulation of the head iron boy, who challenged the Evergreen Dojo with a green caterpillar, and continued to fight when he was defeated.

Until the owner of the gym was "moved" by his perseverance and gave him a badge.

also has the talent of a hot-blooded teenager, and always feels that gamblers are particularly calm.

Picture transformations.

[You have come to the south of Guandu, the light red city near the sea, and the moist sea breeze makes you feel a little fresh and happy]

The gamblers began to challenge the Light Red Gym.

However.

The owner of the hall is not a young Aju as Kashiwagi thought, but another middle-aged ninja who is older.

The Light Red Gym is also a family business?

Kashiwagi found that most of the dojos in Guandu had inheritance, passed down from parents to the next generation, as was the case with Xiaogang and Xiaoxia's dojos, and the same seemed to be the case with the Yuhong Dojo and the light red dojo.

Fortunately, although the owner of the Light Red Gym is older, he can accept this tactical play of gamblers.

The latter is more like an explosion of character, and the first challenge was successfully passed with the help of strange power and the drill horn rhinoceros, and successfully obtained the sixth badge.

[You defeated the owner of the Light Red Gym and obtained the Light Red Badge]

Good luck made the gambler not hesitate, and hurriedly asked for another wave of funds from Team Rocket, and took a boat to Red Lotus Town, which is located overseas.

Then I had a good hot spring bath with Pokémon.

[Do you think that a proper rest is conducive to the next character explosion]

The gambler is not bad with the old guys who follow him like the Horned Rhinoceros, at least not as harshly as Team Rocket.

The hearts that flew from the brains of the four Pokémon were not difficult to see that the mosquito coils were in a good mood.

Even if they are often used as cannon fodder by gamblers to pad knives during battles, mosquito coils do not seem to have any complaints.

[You smiled and explained the story of your youth with a strange force and other Pokémon, thinking of the people and things you had met, you couldn't help but feel a little melancholy]

It is said that when men take a bath, they will habitually think about philosophy and doubt life, and gamblers are no exception.

The narrator says that the gambler once had a relatively bright past, but his life was messed up by gambling, which not only caused his wife to leave him, but also caused his cherished son to become addicted to gambling and died young.

Time.

The gambler soaking in the hot spring seemed to cry, and when the Pokémon saw this, Strange Power seemed to think of his own situation, and he was equally sad.

Kashiwagi was speechless about this, and no matter how much he regretted the past, it was irretrievable.

After soaking in the hot springs.

The gamblers who changed their good mood began to challenge the Red Lotus Dojo.

The owner of the latter is finally Kashiwagi's "acquaintance" Xia Bo, as the oldest group of trainers later, Xia Bo is still very young at this time, at least much younger than the gambler.

It is estimated that he is only thirty or forty years old

Xia Bo admired the gambler for coming out to challenge the gym when he was old, but he didn't let go of the water.

As a result, the Red Lotus Gym became the second difficult gym in the gambler's history.

He challenged six times before he defeated Xia Bo with the [Earth Split] of the Mosquito Coil, the Strange Power, and the Drill Horn Rhinoceros Beast.

[You've got the Red Lotus Badge, it's your seventh badge, and you're just one step away from qualifying for the Victory Tournament Challenge]

The gambler, who went out happily, was once again kidnapped by Team Rocket.

But what greeted him was not a beating, but a new round of image packaging and countless announcements, as well as a child's play in the gym battle.

Evergreen Dokan.

For the first time in such an easy battle between the gambler and his Pokémon, the opposing pavilion owner barely made a move or dodged, and resisted his moves stubbornly.

[You got the Evergreen badge, which makes you look at the flat-headed young man in amazement]

"Good fellow, young Sakaki has come to play a match-fix!"

Kashiwagi looked at the flat-headed young man in the picture, although he was a pixel villain, he could inexplicably see the immature temperament on the other party's face.

No doubt.

At present, the Rockets in this era are still his mother as the boss.

Sakaki is just secretly supporting Team Rocket as the owner of the gym, and when he grows up, the animated version of Team Rocket Sakaki will completely become a businessman.

It's completely different from the evil villain in the special episode who is very charismatic and is known as "Sakaki of the Earth".

On the other hand.

Under the unsparing publicity of Team Rocket, the gambler, an older dream-chasing trainer, and the one-hit killer rudder master's fame successfully resounded throughout the entire Guandu.

No one knows how much money the Rockets have made in this.

At least the gambler didn't see a dime, he was strictly guarded by Team Rocket as a chicken that laid golden eggs, and even lost his freedom, which was even more terrible than in the past.

[You silently think about your situation]

The gambler is not young after all, and he knows very well that he will be doomed if he continues like this.

Unlike the Challenge Gym, it is impossible to give him so many chances to do it again, and if he is unlucky, he will not even be able to break through the preliminaries.

In this case, the gamblers whose reputation has plummeted will inevitably be unloaded and killed by Team Rocket.

When the time comes, let alone paying off the loan shark, the safety of him and his grandson will be in question.

[You know very well that the loan sharks you and your son owe have already been given to Team Rocket in the form of various announcement fees, and you don't owe them anything anymore]

[You start thinking about it]
