My elf trainer simulator

Face difficulties.

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

After a preliminary attempt, he found that he really didn't have the talent to breed Pokémon, so he posed the question to Team Rocket.

[You think that even if you are lucky and get a few badges, it will not cause such a big fluctuation. It can only be the Rockets who are behind it]

[You understand that no matter what the Rockets want, the bargaining chips with them have increased]

Good guy!

Negotiate with the Rockets!

Kashiwagi almost began to admire the gambler. How could ordinary people have such courage? It's not like him who has seen too many antics of the Rockets trio.

This organization, which has been lurking in the Kanto area for a long time with the intention of expanding outwards, has never been a good man or woman.

Sakaki is definitely not as funny as Miao Miao imagined...

Is it now Sakaki's turn to take over?

While he was thinking, the gambler in the picture was suddenly sacked.

follow closely.

A beating began.

[You didn’t expect Team Rocket’s reaction to be so violent. You could only endure their attacks silently]

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

Although his physical strength is not as good as that of people his age, he can barely resist beatings. His body bones are not as brittle as those of a 70- or 80-year-old man without beatings.

Anyway.

The Gambler endured the beatings Team Rocket gave him as a warning to stop being greedy.

[When you heard that the other party agreed to your request, you endured the pain in various parts of your body and smiled]

"Um……"

Kashiwagi's expression was a little complicated.

Torture and beatings were very common in the Orei region, but appearing in the main series region always made him feel a little inappropriate.

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

Peace in the main series area was not established overnight. At least in the era of the gamblers, the Rockets lurking in the shadows did many blatant evil things such as loan sharking and personal threats.

Is there nothing new under the sun...

The gambler's request is also very simple. Let the people from Team Rocket help him find the remaining two Pokémon with a high enough level to complete the establishment of the team.

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

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

Without level, he has no winning rate.

[You know that if your reputation is based on the Rockets' publicity, then they will agree to your request no matter what.]

Gamblers never dream of using their reputation as a threat to ask the Rockets to let themselves and their grandsons go. Not even a gambler like him would believe that kind of daydream.

The Rockets didn't just satisfy the gamblers' requests casually. They asked the latter to go on TV to promote themselves and enhance their gold content.

The screen starts to speed up.

During this period, there were several scenes of the gambler talking to his grandson on the phone.

This made Kashiwagi curious if he could search online later and find news about gamblers appearing on TV. It seemed to be very popular.

It didn't take long.

Gambler got two Pokémon from Team Rocket to complete the team.

[You got a white-skinned Rhinoceros, and the old guy added more]

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

There are only two situations when a Pokémon's energy level is high -

One, old enough.

Second, the combat effectiveness is strong enough.

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

The narrator said that Team Rocket has many high-level Pokémon that cannot be sold because they are too old. Their combat effectiveness has been affected, but they can meet the needs of gamblers.

The gambler wasn't picky and happily accepted the two Pokémon.

As for improving the levels of Crab and Gopher, Team Rocket's method is also very simple and crude. They leave it to the team's professional Pokémon breeders, and then send various Pokémon as experience babies.

This is the simplest method, cumbersome but effective.

[You rejected Team Rocket’s idea of ​​using research-based drugs on crabs and gophers]

Compared with the crazy Rockets, the gamblers still have a little conscience and do not feed the crabs and gophers randomly, even though the progress will be slow.

He took the four Pokémon in his hands and embarked on a journey to Cerulean 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.

only.

This time the gamblers finally got a shut-in.

[You have been rejected by the Cerulean Gym Leader. He is a harsh person like Feng Critic, and he is most disdainful of your gimmicky challenge method]

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

Some can accept the gambler's tactical style, while others are extremely disdainful of his "opportunistic" approach.

Pokémon should fight with dignity!

Who is a true trainer if he relies on one-hit kill moves?

There are many such objections.

"Xiaoxia's mother?"

Kashiwagi looked at the female pixel villain in the picture.

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

Xiaoxia’s grandma or grandma?

Not impossible.

Speaking of which, Xiaoxia's three sisters' hair colors are yellow, blue and red, and her orange color makes one wonder how many hair color genes Xiaoxia's parents have.

within the light screen.

The gambler who was rejected had to leave Cerulean City. Fortunately, the environment he was in was an animation background. Even if a prestigious gym like the Cerulean Gym rejected him, there were other gyms to choose from.

The scene changes.

The gambler directly retraced his steps and returned to Dry Leaf City through the gopher hole, and headed further east of Kanto.

He came to Heiyun City.

[You have arrived in Heiyun City. The bustling industrial city makes you feel extremely novel. Those large and small chimneys make you feel the changes of the times]

Heiyun City?

Kashiwagi was startled for a moment, and then remembered that Xiaozhi had been here before.

It's just that in Xiaozhi's time, Heiyun City had become smoky and abandoned due to industrial wastewater and waste residue, and the sewers were blocked by stinky mud and stinking mud.

No wonder it sounds so familiar.

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

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

The four older Pokémon took turns with each other. This time the gambler challenged them three times, using the three moves of [Earth Fissure], [Horn Diamond] and [Absolute Zero] before winning.

[You defeated the Black Cloud Gym Leader and obtained the Black Cloud Badge]

"The name of this city directly predicts the future." Kashiwagi was filled with confusion as he watched the gambler continue to move forward.

Soon after.

Gamblers come to Ziyuan Town.

But unlike the famous Pokémon cemetery in the game, Aster Town in the anime is just a place where ghost-type Pokémon appear more frequently.

The Pokémon Tower used to place Pokémon tombstones in the game is just an empty castle in the anime, with rumors of ghosts haunting it.

The purpose of gamblers coming here is to challenge the gym.

[You decide to challenge Ziyuan Gym]

Aster Gym is a ghost-type gym that surprised Kashiwagi. The Pokémon used by the gym leader are the Gengar family - Ghost, Ghost and Gengar.

There was something strange about his expression.

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

It’s hard to say, but the Gengar family suffers from the disadvantage of being introduced early. There are so many Pokémon in the animation, and they are not particularly rare and precious Pokémon at all.

And the gamblers are probably going to be short-changed.

As expected, the gambler couldn't beat the Ziyuan Gym. He challenged it five times in a row and still couldn't beat it.

There is no other reason - three generals were lost!

Gamblers have always relied heavily on Mosquito Repellent and Wei Li. One is his most familiar old friend, and the other has a relatively higher hit rate without defense.

However, Earth Splitter has no effect on Pokémon with floating characteristics.

The horn diamond of the Rhinoceros has no effect on the ghost attribute.

In other words.

Gamblers can only rely on the White Sea Lion's Absolute Zero to attack the Gengar family in the Aster Gym. It is too difficult to make a comeback with such thin chips.

The luck of the hour seems to have failed.

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

The talent of a hot-blooded young man doesn’t seem to have any impact on gamblers?

Seeing the gambler give up the challenge so easily, Kashiwagi thought of the stubborn boy in the first simulation, who challenged the Evergreen Gym with a green caterpillar and continued to fight after being beaten.

He beat him until the gym leader was "touched" by his perseverance and gave him a badge.

He also has the talent of a passionate young man, but he always feels that gamblers are particularly calm.

Screen changes.

[You have come to the south of Kanto, the light red city by the sea, and the humid sea breeze makes you feel a little fresh happiness]

Gamblers began to challenge the light red gym.

However.

However, the owner of the museum is not the young Aju as Kashiwagi thought, but another older, middle-aged ninja.

Is the Light Red Gym also a family property?

Kashiwagi discovered that most of the gyms in Kanto have inheritance, passed down from parents to the next generation. This is the case for Xiaogang and Xiaoxia's gyms, and it seems to be the same for Yuhong Gym and Qinghong Gym.

Fortunately, although the light red gym leader is old, he can accept the gambler's tactics.

The latter's character was even more explosive. He successfully passed the first challenge with his strange strength and horned rhinoceros, and successfully obtained the sixth badge.

[You defeated the light red gym leader and obtained the light red badge]

The good luck made the gambler dare not hesitate. He quickly asked for another wave of funds from the Rockets and took a boat to the overseas town of Honglian.

Then I took a nice hot spring bath with my Pokémon.

[Do you think taking a proper rest will help your character develop in the future?]

Gamblers are pretty good to the old friends who follow them and work hard like Rhinoceros, at least they don't treat them as harshly as Team Rocket.

The hearts flying from the foreheads of the four Pokémon showed that they were all in a good mood.

Even though they are often used as cannon fodder by gamblers, they don't seem to have any complaints.

[You smiled and explained the story of your youth with Pokémon such as Kaili. Thinking of the people and things you had met, you couldn't help but feel a little melancholy]

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

The narrator said that the gambler once had a relatively bright past, but gambling made his life a mess. Not only did his wife leave him, but his cherished son also became addicted to gambling and died young.

For a while.

The gambler who was soaking in the hot spring seemed to be crying. When Guali and other Pokémon saw this, they seemed to think of their own situation and were equally sad.

Kashiwagi was speechless about this, and no matter how much he regretted the past, it could not be undone.

Finished the hot spring bath.

The gambler who changed his mood began to challenge the Red Lotus Gym.

The latter's gym owner was Kashiwagi's "acquaintance" Xia Bo. As the oldest trainer in the group, Xia Bo was still very young at this time, at least much younger than the gambler.

Xia Bo, who was probably only in his thirties or forties, admired the gambler for coming out to challenge the gym even though he was still old, but he did not let him go.

The Red Lotus Gym has therefore become the second most difficult gym in history for gamblers.

He challenged Xia Bo six times before relying on the [Earth Fissure] of the Mosquito Repellent King, Wei Li and the Horned Rhinoceros Beast.

[You have obtained the Red Lotus Badge. This is your seventh badge. There is only one step left to qualify for the championship challenge]

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

But what greeted him was not a severe beating, but a new round of image packaging, countless announcements, and a gym battle that was nothing short of child's play.

Evergreen Gym.

This was the first time that the gambler had such an easy battle with his Pokémon. The opponent barely made any moves or dodges, and was forced to resist his moves.

[You got the Evergreen Badge, which made you look at the crew-cut young man in shock]

"Good guy, young Sakaki is here to fight match-fixing!"

Kashiwagi looked at the flat-headed young man in the picture. Even though he was a pixelated figure, he could somehow see the childish temperament on his face.

no doubt.

In this era of Rockets, his mother is still the boss.

Sakaki only secretly supported Team Rocket as the gym leader. When he grew up, the animated version of Sakaki who inherited Team Rocket completely became a businessman.

It is completely different from the evil villain in the special chapter who has a very charismatic personality and is known as "Sakaki of the Earth".

on the other hand.

With Team Rocket's unremitting publicity, Gambler, an older dream-chasing trainer, and his reputation as a one-hit kill style helmsman successfully spread throughout Kanto.

No one knows how much money the Rockets made from this.

At least the gambler didn't see a dime. As the chicken that laid the golden eggs, he was strictly guarded by the Rockets and even lost his freedom. He was even more terrifying than before.

[You silently think about your situation]

After all, the gambler is not a young man, and he knows very well that he will be ruined if this continues.

The alliance conference is different from challenging the gym. It is impossible to give him so many opportunities to come back. If he is unlucky, he will not even be able to break through the preliminaries.

In this case, the gambler whose reputation has plummeted will inevitably be killed by the Rockets.

Not to mention paying off the loan shark by then, the safety of him and his grandson will be in question.

[You know very well that the loan sharks you and your son owed have already been given to the Rockets in the form of various notification fees, and you no longer owe them anything]
