Chapter 160: Report, This Little Girl Is Cheating!
That evening, after returning Home, Bai Feng told everyone about his plan to attend Professor Oak's Summer Camp. The camp would last for a month.
When Bai Feng asked if anyone wanted to go with him, Bai Ye was the first to refuse. It was currently in a critical period of Training and didn't want to go out.
At the same time, it also told Bai Feng that Carbink would also stay Home with it for Training.
Bai Feng's face fell upon hearing this. What was wrong with his Mom? It used to follow him wherever he went, but now it didn't even bat an eye at being separated for a month!
This was too much!
Unknowingly, the relationship between mother and son had undergone a revolutionary transformation. Bai Ye was no longer the beloved Mom, but Bai Feng had become the mama's boy! How ridiculous, how laughable!
But since Mom insisted, Bai Feng had no choice.
In the end, only Primarina, Heliolisk, Bayleef, and Speckled Pigeon were willing to go to the Kanto Region with Bai Feng.
At this point, Bai Ye suggested that Bai Feng take Lopunny along. This way, the young couple wouldn't be separated, and someone could also take care of Bai Feng's Daily Life. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Bai Ye's words made Lopunny and Heliolisk blush, but it was clear that Lopunny was willing to go.
Bai Feng looked speechlessly at Bai Ye: You're really thoughtful!
So, the Pokémon accompanying him on this trip were decided. Next was preparing the Stuff needed for the trip, but Lopunny would be responsible for helping Bai Feng get everything ready.
Besides that, Bai Feng also had to prepare the Stuff Ikki would need for his trip, such as a Space Backpack, Pokeballs, Energy Cubes, and so on.
Since he was going to the Kanto Region for the Summer Camp, he definitely wouldn't be able to see Ikki off. Ikki would likely be setting off soon.
Next was saying hello to the Orphanage and asking Brother Dong Yu to help him look after the Orchard.
It was another day of troubling Brother Dong Yu, how shameful!
The next day, the people Bai Feng had scheduled to install the Pokémon Transfer Device arrived. They were very efficient, installing the Machine in just one morning.
Bai Feng was at School that morning, so Lopunny received the installation personnel. With Chatot, who could speak Human Language, there were no communication Problems between them. Bai Feng had already explained everything that needed to be explained to Lopunny before going to Schooling.
When Bai Feng returned Home After School, the Transfer Device was already installed. He called Kalos and asked her to transfer a Pokémon to test it. There were no Problems.
Soon it was the day Bai Feng and the others were to depart for the Kanto Region. He entrusted the Stuff he had prepared for Ikki to Fuyu and took his Pokémon to School.
The School specifically leased a Flying Vehicle to send Bai Feng and the others to the Kanto Region, so they didn't need to go to the Airport themselves.
However, only after Bai Feng arrived at School did he Discover that only four students from their Breeding Class were participating in this Summer Camp: him, Student Shen Mu, Da Fu, and Wa Lian.
There were quite a few participants from the Battle Class, at least ten or so.
While waiting for Boarding, Bai Feng walked over to Wa Lian and asked, "Why are there only four people from our class participating?"
Wa Lian shrugged, "Because we have to pay the Fee?"
Alright, what a realistic reason.
A Fee of 30,000 League Coin per person was indeed not cheap. The children in their Breeding Class were generally not as wealthy as those in the Battle Class, so it was understandable that fewer people participated.
The School also arranged a Teacher to lead Bai Feng and the others. Bai Feng knew this Teacher; she was the homeroom Teacher of the Battle Class, a very young and beautiful female Teacher, said to be a very powerful Trainer.
Soon it was Time for Boarding. Bai Feng and the others began boarding in an orderly manner under the arrangement of their respective Teachers.
Bai Feng and the others' homeroom Teacher, Teacher Hua Tian, also came today. She kept nagging the four of them, "You must listen to Teacher Kurita more. Don't run around carelessly in unfamiliar Places. If you encounter any difficulties there, be Sure to ask the Teacher for help. You can also call me anytime if you need anything, understood?"
Teacher Kurita was the Teacher leading Bai Feng and the others this Time.
Although Teacher Hua Tian kept chattering endlessly, none of the four felt impatient. They listened carefully while nodding repeatedly.
Teacher Hua Tian finally closed her mouth only after seeing the four off onto the Flying Vehicle.
As the Flying Vehicle took off, Bai Feng and the others could still see Teacher Hua Tian energetically waving at them through the window. She seemed to be shouting something, but Bai Feng and the others couldn't hear it, so they could only wave back to let the Teacher rest assured.
The Flying Vehicle leased by the School was not very advanced; its Flying speed was incredibly slow. It took Bai Feng and the others a full four days to arrive in the Kanto Region.
The Flying Vehicle landed in Yu Hong City, the largest city in the Kanto Region. Bai Feng and the others were to rest and reorganize in Yu Hong City for a day and then take a vehicle to Pallet Town to register the next day.
After Teacher Kurita settled the children in a hotel, she gathered everyone together and said:
"There's still some Time today. You can wander around Yu Hong City freely. It would be a shame not to take a good look at this metropolis, hailed as the second largest in the Kanto Region, second only to Saffron City.
However, there's one thing: you must be back before five in the Afternoon, otherwise, don't blame me for calling your Parents."
The children from Bai Feng's School were all older kids with the ability to act independently, so the Teacher wasn't worried about them going out.
"Yes!"
The children replied in unison, and then went out in twos and threes.
Wa Lian was pulling Bai Feng and Student Shen Mu, about to discuss where to go play together, when Da Fu suddenly came over, "I'll take you to a good Place! A Place you absolutely cannot miss when you come to Yu Hong City."
"What Place?" Wa Lian looked at Da Fu with a face full of suspicion.
"Oh, you'll know when you go, why do you keep asking and asking!" Da Fu impatiently brushed off Wa Lian.
Wa Lian was quite angry. She raised her fist, about to hit Da Fu on the Head. Seeing this, Bai Feng quickly stopped her, "Alright then, let's go see this good Place Da Fu is talking about. Maybe there will be a surprise!"
Student Shen Mu nodded repeatedly, expressing agreement.
Seeing that Bai Feng had spoken, Wa Lian was very cooperative and no longer argued with Da Fu. She just waved her fist at Da Fu and said, "If it's not fun, see how I'll deal with you!"
Da Fu turned his Head and ignored Wa Lian's threat.
Da Fu actually didn't know the way. He needed to use the Navigator in his hand to lead Bai Feng and the others.
Under Da Fu's lead, the four finally stopped in front of a huge building. On the sign above the building's Door, the large characters "Celadon Game Corner" were written.
"This is the good Place you were talking about?" Wa Lian said, looking at Da Fu disbelievingly.
"Of course! I've wanted to come to this Game Corner in Yu Hong City for a long Time. Now that I'm finally here, of course I have to check it out!" Da Fu said proudly.
"Isn't this just a Gambling Place?" Wa Lian said, Stomping her foot.
"Nonsense! What Gambling!" Da Fu said, exasperated, "How can playing games be called Gambling? This Game Corner has an official operating license, I won't allow you to slander it!"
"You!" Wa Lian glared angrily at Da Fu.
Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Bai Feng quickly spoke up to stop them, "Alright, alright, since we're already here, let's go in and take a look. I've also heard this Place is very famous and you can exchange for many Prizes, even rare Pokémon can be exchanged for."
"Right, right!" Da Fu's Eyes shone, "I knew Bai Feng understands me the most!"
"Bai Feng, how are you siding with him too!" Wa Lian glared at Bai Feng, then looked at Student Shen Mu, "Student Shen Mu, what do you say?"
Student Shen Mu was startled upon hearing this, "I... I... I'll listen to Classmate Bai Feng!"
Wa Lian: ...
Minority obeys the majority. In the end, Wa Lian walked into the Game Corner with the three boys.
When the four walked into the Hall, what met their Eyes was all kinds of game Machines, most of which were related to Gambling. Among them, Slot Machines were the most numerous.
Many people in the Hall were busy sitting in front of the Machines, either crying or laughing, either suppressing or going crazy... in short, there were all kinds of people.
As soon as Wa Lian entered and saw this foul Atmosphere, she couldn't help but frown.
Bai Feng smiled and comforted her, "Don't be so serious. Just treat it as coming to broaden your horizons. Sometimes this kind of experience will also be useful in the future."
Upon hearing this, Wa Lian slightly relaxed her brows.
Under the guidance of the Game Corner staff, the few of them exchanged some Game Coins at the front desk. Da Fu exchanged the most.
After exchanging the Game Coins, the few of them came to a Slot Machine.
"I'll go first, I'll go first!" Da Fu impatiently sat down.
The gameplay of the Slot Machine was very simple. After inserting coins, pull the lever, and the patterns on the Machine would change rapidly. When they stopped, if all three patterns were the same, it meant winning a Prize.
Different patterns had different winning multipliers.
After sitting down, Da Fu immediately impatiently inserted Game Coins into the Machine and pulled the lever hard. Immediately, the patterns on the Slot Machine began to flash.
Da Fu swallowed saliva, staring intently at the Machine Screen.
Ding dong~
With the sound of a bell ringing, the patterns suddenly froze. The three patterns were Pichu, Jigglypuff, and Oddish respectively.
"Ahhhh!!!" Classmate Da Fu let out a wail, "A bad start! Again!" Saying this, he inserted several more Game Coins.
But he lost again.
As the number of times he pulled the lever increased, Da Fu's Expression became increasingly unpleasant. In a short while, the Game Coins he had exchanged were completely lost.
Da Fu had exchanged tens of thousands of League Coin worth of Game Coins, and he actually lost everything!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could my luck be so bad!" Da Fu couldn't help but roar.
Seeing this, Wa Lian pulled him off the Machine and said, "Alright, stop making a fool of yourself, really! Let me try!"
Saying this, Wa Lian sat down and began inserting coins into the Machine.
Sure enough, just like Da Fu, she lost right away.
"Hehe~~" Da Fu looked at Wa Lian with a mocking Expression, "I'd like to see how great you are!"
Wa Lian's Expression was unpleasant. I refuse to believe it!
She inserted coins into the Machine again.
At this moment, Bai Feng turned his Head and looked at Others. Soon he discovered that people playing Slot Machines basically lost more than they won. Even if they won, it was just petty gains, not even enough to get their capital back.
Although in Gambling, you basically lose more than you win, the probability of winning here was too small, wasn't it? It was no exaggeration to say it was infinitely close to zero.
Thinking this, a faint, almost imperceptible purple light flickered in Bai Feng's Eyes. Soon he discovered that something was wrong with the Slot Machines.
To verify his Conjecture, Bai Feng specifically went to other Slot Machines to look. Sure enough, most of the Slot Machines had been tampered with; only a limited few were normal.
As expected, in a short while, Wa Lian's Game Coins were also completely lost.
"Haha... haha..." Da Fu held his belly laughing, "With your luck, you dare to mock me? How are you better than me?"
Wa Lian kept a straight face and didn't speak, her Expression visibly darkened.
At this moment, Student Shen Mu stepped forward, "Let me try. My luck has always been pretty good."
However, Bai Feng pulled him back, "Let me go first. My luck is definitely better than yours."
Student Shen Mu didn't think much, nodded, and gave the Location to Bai Feng.
Bai Feng sat down in front of the Slot Machine and began inserting Game Coins.
Since you tampered with the Machines, me cheating a little shouldn't count as a violation, right?
Bai Feng pulled the lever hard, and at the same time, a faint, almost imperceptible purple light flickered in his Eyes again.
Ding dong~
With the sound of the bell ringing, the rapidly flashing patterns suddenly stopped, and at the same time, a burst of cheers came from the Machine.
"Holy crap!!!"
When he saw the patterns on the Machine Screen, Classmate Da Fu exclaimed in surprise. Displayed above were three identical Pichu.
"Bai Feng, how many coins did you just insert?" Da Fu quickly asked.
Before Bai Feng could answer, he heard a rattling sound coming from below the Machine.
Coins are coming out!
Bai Feng had inserted ten coins, and the multiplier for three Pichu patterns was 1:10, which meant Bai Feng won 100 in this round.
Bai Feng reached out and took the Game Coins from the Machine, then heard Classmate Da Fu urge, "Bai Feng, quick, while your luck is still good, keep going!"
Bai Feng nodded and inserted ten more Game Coins. This Slot Machine could only take a maximum of ten coins at a Time.
Bai Feng suspected that the Game Corner was definitely worried that players would lose too much at once and get angry and smash the Place, which was why they set the Quantity limit for inserting coins.
As the lever was pulled, the patterns on the Slot Machine Screen flashed rapidly again.
With a series of celebratory sounds ringing out, the patterns stopped moving again. This Time displayed above were three Bulbasaur.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"
Seeing this scene, Classmate Da Fu was so Excited he almost jumped up, "Bai Feng, quickly tell me, did your hand get blessed?"
Saying this, he was about to pull Bai Feng's hand and rub it on himself, but Bai Feng ruthlessly refused him!
The multiplier for three Bulbasaur was 1:100, which was also the highest multiplier in this game. Bai Feng won a thousand Game Coins in this round.
As the rattling sound came from below the Machine again, Bai Feng directly pulled out a plastic box from below the Machine to hold the Game Coins.
This Game Corner was also ridiculous. They clearly tampered with the Machines, making it impossible for players to win large Quantities of Game Coins, yet they thoughtfully prepared plastic boxes for players to hold large Quantities of Game Coins.
"Bai Feng, Bai Feng, keep going! Let's keep going!" Da Fu said, rubbing his fists and palms together.
However, Bai Feng waved his hand and said, "Let's stop here today. We can leave now."
Quit while you're ahead. Winning two rounds is enough to leave. If they played too excessively, it might not be easy for them to leave today!
With his Stance, the Game Corner people couldn't possibly not know he was cheating.
If he won little, they might turn a blind eye, but if he won a lot, that would be hard to say.
"Why!!!" Da Fu didn't understand and immediately pulled Bai Feng, not letting him leave. Why not continue with such good luck?
"Sigh~" Bai Feng had no choice but to whisper a few words in his ear.
After hearing Bai Feng's words, Da Fu flew into a rage and immediately wanted to go find the Game Corner people to settle the score.
"Hey~ Where are you going?" Bai Feng grabbed Classmate Da Fu.
"What else could I be going to do? Of course, to reason with them!"
Bai Feng patted his forehead, "Are you stupid? This is their territory. If you go to them, will they admit it?"
Classmate Da Fu immediately wilted upon hearing this.
"What's going on?"
Wa Lian and Student Shen Mu had faces full of doubt.
Seeing this, Da Fu had no choice but to quietly explain what Bai Feng had told him to the two of them again. They were all more rational than Classmate Da Fu. Although also very angry, they knew it wasn't suitable to cause trouble here.
"Alright, let's go. We really shouldn't have come to this kind of Place," Wa Lian said after sighing.
Just as the four of them were planning to exchange the won Game Coins for something and leave, they suddenly heard a commotion coming from not far away.
"What's going on?" Da Fu asked doubtfully.
Only to see a Slot Machine not far from the four of them was surrounded by people. Bursts of exclamations occasionally came from the crowd.
"Let's go take a look." Wa Lian's curiosity was also piqued.
So the four of them went over.
Squeezing through the crowd to the Slot Machine, the four saw a little girl with black Hair sitting in front of the Slot Machine, frantically pulling the lever.
Every time she pulled, the patterns on the Slot Machine's Screen would appear the same at the same Time.
Three Eevee, three Charmander, three Squirtle, three Bulbasaur... in short, she hit every Time. The celebratory sounds of the Slot Machine were endless, and the sound of Game Coins dropping from below the Machine also kept ringing.
Then there were the exclamations of the surrounding onlookers, rising and falling.
Bai Feng and the four of them also watched dumbfounded.
The little girl was not tall, but it could be seen that her age should only be one or two years younger than Bai Feng and the others.
And what surprised Bai Feng was that when the girl was playing the game, she used Psychic power to cheat just like him, except he cheated secretly, while the girl was doing it openly.
Bai Feng was not unfamiliar with this girl. Wasn't she Sabrina, the Psychic Gym Leader of Saffron City? Shouldn't she be in Saffron City guarding the Gym? How did she run to Yu Hong City?
The commotion here quickly attracted the Game Corner staff. They looked at Sabrina with a look of headache and helplessness.
Obviously, it wasn't the first Time Sabrina had come here.
In a short while, Sabrina probably got tired of playing, so she walked towards the front desk holding a pile of Game Coins, and then under the bowing and scraping attitude of the front desk staff, exchanged for a pile of Dolls that weren't very useful.
Recovering from the shock, Bai Feng called out to his three Companions, "Let's exchange for something and leave too."
