Xiaozhi's Pokémon Pigeon

The three members of Team Rocket did not expect to meet Xiaozhi here.

As workers, the three of them have been doing manual labor during this period, such as riding a rickshaw to pull Athena to hunt down Yan Di, being responsible for the maintenance of slot machines in the Yuhong City Game Hall, and buying and selling game currencies.

However, these three people still have great ambitions, such as replacing Athena.

But there are still some small difficulties:

Athena is one of the four great cadres, also translated as "Four Heavenly Kings".

According to the Rockets' level assessment, this is almost equivalent to selecting four general cadres from dozens of sub-cadres. Although the Rockets' trio has the status of elite team members, they have not yet solved the Rockets' numbering problem.

If they want to get the position of the top four cadres, the trio would have to work for at least 50 to 60 years without any backdoor, and they would only be able to get the position when they retire in their 70s.

After all, Team Rocket is a formal company that is responsible for half of the tax revenue in the Kanto region. Even if Team Rocket has a wolf-like corporate culture, it is impossible for him to completely ignore qualifications.

In this respect, Sakaki is still very traditional!

Now, the Rocket Team trio has been promoted to "Senior Rocket Team Members" (temporary workers) because they were recently surrounded and short of manpower on the St. Anne.

If they want to stand out, the Rocket trio must make some achievements. Soon, the three people who were tightening screws in the Yuhong Game Hall set their sights on the Yuhong Gym. The three of them were dissatisfied with Athena's attitude towards Lijia.

You have to know that although Athena is a little crazy, there is no problem with her brain - no matter how much she despises Lika who always comes to trouble Team Rocket and wants to shut down the gambling arcade, Athena will not, or dares not, take direct action against Lika.

After all, Lijia is a civil servant of the alliance, and this iron rice bowl will be passed down from Lijia in the future. You know, targeting civil servants of the alliance is just like robbing an express train for 800 miles in ancient times: the things are robbed in the morning, and the nine clans are gone in the evening.

Athena knows very well which people can be robbed and which cannot be touched - if the villain does not use his brain, is not well versed in the ways of the world, and always lives in fighting and killing, then isn't he just a person in clothes?

"It's more useful to know a few rich people than to know short mules!"

It’s a pity that Athena understands this truth, Sakaki understands this truth, but the three members of Team Rocket don’t!

"That Yuhong City gym leader is really too much, meow. He walked into our Team Rocket arcade with his head held high and he kept causing trouble for us in the name of inspection, meow!"

Meowth looked at Rika, who had come many times to look for Pokémon but returned empty-handed, and couldn't help but think about how to solve this problem.

"But that woman is the gym leader. She not only has a lot of people but also has power."

Kojiro had objections.

"Then we can steal her family's perfume secret recipe and present it to Boss Sakaki."

This time, Musashi turned into a wise guy:

"The perfume of Yuhong City is famous in Kanto. I have wanted to buy it for a long time but I have never had the money. Now if we can steal the perfume of the Yuhong City gym and present it to the boss, then our Rocket Team can mass-produce this perfume, and we will have made a great contribution!"

"That's right, meow!"

Meowth agreed that a plan was needed, but he wanted to make some minor changes:

"If we can set fire to the Yuhong Gym after stealing the perfume, the boss might even give us more money, meow!"

In this way, the trio has become a new generation of lawless outlaws as if possessed by Zhang San.

Sakaki: Three brothers, please put away your magical powers!

At this moment, no matter how brave Sakaki was, he would not dare to openly go against the alliance, but the Rocket trio dared!

However, the implementation of this plan requires some small external help. This help is that with the strength of Kojiro or Musashi, neither of them can hold Rika back. They must find a powerful person to hold Rika back so that they can take the opportunity to set fire and steal.

Unfortunately, Xiaozhi came in at this time.

"I'll take shelter here for now!"

Xiaozhi, who had not learned to see through things, did not recognize the disguises of the Rocket trio.

"What would you like to play, guest?"

Musashi walked in front of Xiaozhi. She quickly got into the role and became a service staff of the Yuhong City Game Hall:

"We have a Pokémon slot machine here. As long as you draw 777, you can get a lot of game tokens. These tokens can be used to exchange for Pokémon. Please learn about it."

“Not only Pokémon slots, we also have Pokémon card games!”

Kojiro also got into character quickly - the Pokémon card game he was talking about was not a Pokémon card game like PTCG, but something like playing cards in the Pokémon world:

"Look, as long as you come to play, our dealer can deal you cards, such as this Charizard card, which has four numbers on its four sides: "4, 3, 6, 7". As long as you choose to play a card game with others, and connect this Charizard card with other cards side by side, the one with the higher number will win. After five rounds, the winner will take away the loser's card.

These cards can then be exchanged for Pokémon tokens from us.”

"Exchange tokens for Pokémon?"

Xiaozhi looked at the Pokémon slot machine and the Pokémon cards. These two things could be said to be great helpers in getting rich in the Pokémon game, especially in Ultra Emerald - as long as he got five Arceus cards, he could easily win with the full stats of Arceus.

But nine out of ten gambling venues are scams, and the Rocket Game Hall is no exception: several key screws of the pinball machine are loose, it is impossible for three "7s" to appear on the Pokémon slot machine at the same time, and the dealer will not give high-point Pokémon cards to participants.

The three members of Team Rocket have already made up their minds to let Xiaozhi play this unfair game. When Xiaozhi loses everything, they will ask Xiaozhi to help them challenge the Yuhong City Gym and hold back Lijia.

What do you think would happen if Xiaozhi wins?

Just kidding, the Yuhong City Game Hall has been open for so many years, but no one has been able to exchange the three Pokémon that were given as token rewards: Scyther (old), Porygon (damaged), and Dratini (cannot evolve).

The Rocket trio are very confident on this point. As long as Xiaozhi sits next to the slot machine and puts the first token in, Xiaozhi will become the bargaining chip for the three of them to realize their dreams and help them upgrade to become cadres and take office as branch heads.

And what about Xiaozhi?

He was known for being easily influenced by others. Even if he was stubborn, he would forget everything if someone said something nice to him. At that moment, Xiaozhi almost forgot that he was Lucky E. He sat next to the slot machine and put a few tokens into the machine. As the lever was pulled down, the slot machine screen began to spin wildly:

The first pattern to appear was "Arbok".

This is a very good start for the Rocket trio. Generally speaking, this means it is impossible to take away the token.

The second pattern that appeared was "gas bomb".

Another meaningless logo, and the Rockets trio seemed to see the success of their plan.

However, just before the third pattern appeared in front of Xiaozhi, Machado, who was hiding in Xiaozhi's shadow, suddenly showed his eyes under the slot machine.

Machado noticed that Yan Di was nearby, and was so surprised that he wanted to secretly observe the surroundings. However, Machado was a little too excited and didn't notice the slot machine on his head.

This caused Machado's big black head to collide closely with the base of the slot machine. With a sound, the original "Arbok" turned into "7", and the "Gas Bomb" also turned into "7", and the last one, which was originally a "Meow" pattern - also turned into "7".

This is the first time in more than ten years that someone has won the "first prize" in the Yuhong City Game Hall.
