13th Piece // Goldenrod City // Video/Action

[On comes the feed, and it is instant noise, instant lights, and instant headache if the audience doesn't adjust fast. And nope, it's not even involving exploding buildings or some rescue sight. The view's coming from over someone's shoulder, and there's a bit of an ear and unique hair cut hinting the breeder nearby, but most of the screen is filled with a colorful roulette wheel, flashing more colorful overload before finally slowing down-

And drawing a happy cry from the fellow jolting in the camera view!]

Hey, I was right, Senzai! Waiting for the wheel to fill up with balls helped our chances! Sure, the bet wasn't as high, but still-

[He cuts off as he turns and comes eye-to-eye with the gear's lens, blinking in it before the entire scene shifts to a more comfortable distance, and Yuugi gives a "eh-heh!" grin before the screen goes out.

A few seconds later he's on again, this time up against a dark wall with the noise slightly muted, and the view much more steady and including a Togetic hovering to the side.]

Sorry about that- I think Senzai wanted to share what we're up to here. He really likes the games.

[...since he's on the feed anyways...] So... Does anybody have a favorite game, here at the Game Corner?

[Either way, anyone drawn into the Game Corner will find Yuugi playing away- Even if he does eventually abandon his lucky streak at the roulette whee and retuns to Voltorb Flip. But by then there's some very obvious glances coming from the staff that Yuugi is very unaware of.]

[You know what, Yuugi, this past week has been kind of murder on Carmen, what with seemingly everybody she knows breaking out in horrific mutations and needing fairly constant surveillance, and after days upon days of worries and vigilance, she is so ready to just kick back and talk about some fucking games, okay.]

Now I'm sorry I never had the opportunity to visit the Game Corner. That looks like fun.

[-oh! Look who's asking about one of his favorite spots!]

Are you anywhere near Goldenrod? Or Celadon? There's a Game Corner in both cities, if you get the chance to go by.

But there's some kind of event going on in this one.

I'm a little tied up at the moment, unfortunately. With this plague going around, I haven't had much opportunity to take time out and have fun.

You should be careful, though; I've heard there's been a lot of commotion in Goldenrod lately.

I know. The center exploded, and power outages, and people are sick. The chanseys and nurses need a lot of help.

But it's pretty lively at night.

[Oddly so. He dodged more than one clumsy person with a drink to get here!]

A testament to human resilience, I suppose. We'll find something to celebrate even in our darkest hours.

That game you were playing. How does it work?

It's a kind of roulette. The same idea. Make a bet on a color or number - or pokemon, here.

But they don't reset the board for a few turns, so the spaces aren't all open on a later turn. So it's easier to win, but the bet's not as high.

But still largely a game of chance, rather than a game of skill. I'm glad you enjoy it, but I think my tastes would run toward a different one.

Voltorb Flip has a little more skill, since you have to keep track of the number of mines and check the line numbers, but yup.

All the games here involve chance.

They're fun, but I prefer other games, too.

[But in the middle of nation wide disasters doesn't seem the time to check up with people on TCGs or new game interests ~~whoops~~ so WHAT TO DO.]

I know there are a few on the Gear, too, but one can only play so many games of Solitaire.

What I wouldn't give for a good game of chess right about now.

[Don't worry, Yuugi, SHE WILL LAMENT WITH YOU.]

Is there any way to get chess or other games added to the phone?

Where you could play on your own, or with somebody else?

[Quick, to the PokeGear App Store!!]

That's a good question. I might have to give that one to my Porygon to muse on; he's always up for a project, and I doubt coding a chess application would be very difficult.

Of course, then I'd have to teach him how to play.
