"Lovely. We're doomed." Mia muttered, crossing her arms. "Right. What exactly are we supposed to be doing." She grit out. She could handle science-y stuff, but math was beyond her. She could figure out the strength of a Pokémon by using its energy signature to input and replace a few numbers, but anything beyond that was a no-go for her.

"Y-yeah. Wh-what do we do?" Jim stuttered after almost every word. His hands were twitching. He was worried he might totally mess it up.

"This tile is on loose." Enzo muttered.

"You can choose between the choices provided by the previous winner of the gold coin." She explained. "Coinflip or Poker. Please have patience as we call your opponent."

"But...they are both luck based!" Kawena complained. "Isn't there a game in this center that you need skill?" Kawena wasn't used to Game Centers. He liked the bright decorations that some of them had in Alola, but none of the actual games.

Poker? That was something Jim had played a lot as a kid... and always lost. Coinflip is going to be 50:50. "Let's see what happens."

"Our guest has arrived. Remember third party devices are not allowed. Please keep that in mind, anyhow enjoy!" The cashier stood in a corner.

"What's that kid doing over there?" Enzo awkwardly asked as he saw a 10 year old coming close.

I want to fall in love. No, I'd rather make money.

"Playing poker and flipping coins?" Jim replied nervously.

"Oh god." Mia muttered nervously, crossing her arms tightly. "This is gonna suck."

"You ever played Poker?" He asked Enzo and Mia.

"So what would you losers choose?" The over confident kid asks with a cocky smile.

Just look at that precious smile. It's so precious that I want to tear that off. I'd hang him to death if I had the chance. Nara thought with sarcasm.

"Don't choose cards." She spat glaring at the kid.

Jim shrugged. "So do we do coins?" He asked the two people around him.

"Yeah. Coins." Mia agreed, glaring at the kid. She cracked her knuckles and pushed her hands into her pockets.

(You were with us till we reached Twinleaf right??
Nara does some blabbering with Ben and gets Fiery plate. Rowan tells us to fly to Veilstone. They reach Veilstone and spend the night in an inn. Nara gets intel that the plate is in game center. Nara hits jackpot and cashier takes them to a place where the group has to beat a 10-year old to get the plate. Nara can't be a part of this game, she can only give hints. Coinflip and Poker are the choices. Nara tells the group not to chose poker.)

((remember the gc stunt I told you few weeks ago? + I'm low on battery so this will be my last post for today.))

"Let's have 11 turns of tossing whoever has the most bet on tail or head wins the prize. I won't lose to old hags like you, nye!"

"Aish, is this kid really going to be our opponent?" Enzo asked in disbelief. "Are you kidding me?"

"Whatever grandpa, I'm choosing head because I have a brain unlike you, so that leaves you to tails." The youngster giggled.

(RIP Nao's battery)

"Doesn't seem like it. But I'd definitely like to kick the hecc outta this kid after this is over." Jim grunted.

"Fine, ya cocky jerk, bring it on!" He didn't really care for language anymore, regardless of a little kid being in front of him. This boy was getting under his skin.

"I mean, he could do much better at insults, which shows how much of an immature, uneducated kid he is." Devyn shrugged. "I would've gone with Poker, by the way. It's easy."

"Dev, you're making ir wooooorse." Scarlett groaned, her Vaporeon shaking her head.

(( it's probably about time I write my first post. apologies if I sort of get off track or...something, aha. ))

Ah, Veilstone city. For being one to travel a lot, this was a good place to go too--since well, this was her first time exploring the city, since she's stayed in Eterna for most of her time here in Sinnoh, with the exception of traveling backward to Jubilife and so on. Anyways, Aino glances about, auburn-brown eyes gleaming. While the trainer looked about, Acro--her Manectric--stood beside her, watching Aino's every move. "Now Acro," Aino starts, turning to look at her starter. "Where should we start first on our own tour of Veilstone?" Acro simply yawns, not seeming all too interested in what Aino had to say. He was probably tired. Sighing, she returns Acro to his Pokeball. "No matter, I can decide this for myself. Now," She glances at the Game Center, her eyes quickly gleaming with interest. "That looks like a good place to start. I need to buy some items but...they can wait!" And with that, Aino starts jogging to the Game Center. Her footsteps could probably be heard from outside once she gets closer.

(( ..I apologize if my responses are quite long as well, ))

"I have to remind you that Poker is a game with cards. As mentioned third party devices are restricted so that leaves the kid to trick you with illusions." Nara dryly stated.

Oh. So that's the reason I always lost in Poker. Illusions. Jim contemplated all the poker games he had played as a kid, and put them in this new perspective.
