Chapter 10: Special Olympics: Part 3
Special Gymnasium – 12:50
"Last event! The Poker Game! (A/N: Don't know about Poker that much, sorry) in this game, the participants will be given 1000 as starting money. And the first one to lose it all loses! Now for the participants, first from Team Imperfect we have White!" White stepped out to the field and proceeded into the small room prepared for them in the middle of the stadium. The room was quite big with only two light sources but there are at least four cameras in the four corners of the ceiling.
"And from Team Perfect! We have your student council president, Blue!" Blue stepped out of her team's bench and proceeded to the room. "Let's hope White can win against her but if she can't we have Plan B, right?" Red asked Green. "Yeah, let's hope they come through for us." Green replied.
"You're pretty good for someone who is called an heiress." Sabrina said as the two parted from their fight to catch their breaths.
"Well, one who is regularly chasing Miss Sapphire is bound to know some of her martial arts skills." Platina said panting but not heavily and keeping her composure.
"Let's see you dodge this." Sabrina said before running again towards Platina.
As Sabrina and Platina started fighting, Koga and Cheren started suddenly passed by, "Sabrina, let us in." Koga suddenly cried out.
"Sure thing." Sabrina then put her arms behind her back before letting Koga and N come in.
"Two vs. Two, you kids are going down." Sabrina said grinning.
"Mr. Cheren, if my observations are correct, then this force field is being controlled by a device in Ms. Sabrina's arm. I'll try to distract Mr. Koga while you get the gadget from her arm." Platina whispered to N and N simply nodded.
"Stop whispering, you pests!" Sabrina shouted before Platina cut her off.
"Mr. Koga, shouldn't a ninja be extinct right now, maybe you should go back to your own time period, my dear sir." Platina said trying to full her voice with mockery.
"Why you!" Koga then started charging towards Platina.
"Now, Mr. Cheren" Platina shouted and before long N leapt over Koga and grabbed Sabrina's arm before grabbing the device Platina mentioned and seeing Koga hitting Platina who dodged his attacks. Cheren took off the device from Sabrina's arm before running towards Platina and Koga fighting. When he got near them, Cheren grabbed the collar of Koga's shirt before pulling him backwards making him stumble back.
"Didn't anyone tell you not to hit a girl?" Cheren said with a stern voice. "Are you hurt?" N asked Platina who shook her head. N then hand the device to Platina who quickly started to figures it out.
"Snap out of it, Sabrina!" Koga shouted at Sabrina who was still shocked at how they knew how the force field worked. "Sabrina!" Koga turned his face to his colleague giving Cheren an opportunity; he punched Koga in the gut before delivering an uppercut.
"Almost got it and done. The force field is gone." Platina said but was abrupt by Sabrina charging towards her with fire in her eyes. Sabrina delivered a straight punch. Platina ducked and delivered a low sweep in Sabrina's legs making her fall.
"It's very unlady like to fight." Platina said before pinching Sabrina's shoulders making her unconscious.
"Let's go, Mr. Cheren. We must assist Mr. Emerald and Mr. Black." Cheren nodded.
Special Gymnasium – 1:00
"Alright ladies, take your seats and let's get started. Both of you will be given 10000 Poke dollars for this match, kay?" Maryann said before pulling out a coin, who will be the dealer? Let's flip a coin." Maryann then flipped a coin. "Call it!"
"Heads!" White shouted. "Ooooohh, its tails so Blue will be the first dealer!"
"Darn!" White said before Blue started to shuffle the cards and gave five cards to each of them.
Blue: Ace of Spades, Ten of Spades, Three of Diamonds, Four of Clubs & Ace of Clubs (Blue – 9800)
White: Nine of Spades, Jack of Hearts, Ace of Hearts, Six of Spades, & Two of Clubs. (White – 9800)
"1000" Blue said stoically chocking White as to why would Blue bet so high on the first hand. (Blue – 8800) [1400]
"Call." White hesitantly said. (White – 8800) [2400]
"I'll take three." Blue said trading her Ten, Three and Four for the Seven of Clubs, Seven of Hearts and Fie of Spades.
"Three for me too." White said losing her Nine, Six and Two for the King of Hearts, Queen of Diamonds and Jack of Spades. 'I wonder if she can beat my pair.' White thought as Blue started the second betting round.
"400" Blue said. (8400) [2800]
"Call." White said still rethinking but was left with no choice but to call. (8400) [3200]
'Curses' White cringed inside as she saw Blue's two pairs. She revealed her pair of jacks trying to hide her shame.
Blue took the pot, with her winning the first hand. (Blue – 11600) (White – 8400)
White was the dealer of the second hand, she passed five cards to Blue and also to herself.
Blue: Ace of Hearts, Eight of Spades, Four of Spades, Eight of Diamonds and Seven of Hearts. (11400)
White: Two of Hearts, Jack of Diamonds, Four of Hearts, Five of Hearts and Two of Diamonds. (8200)
"400." Blue said calmly (11000) and White called. (7800)
"I'll take two cards." Blue said handing over her Four and Seven with the Six and Ten of Hearts.
White gave herself three cards replacing her Four, Five and Jack for the Seven of Hearts, Three of Clubs and King of Hearts.
"I'll bet 600." White said. (7200) [1800]
"I'll raise, with 600." Blue said (9800) [3000]
This freaked White out, could Blue have something good enough for her pair. Judging from her loss from the first hand she folded. And nearly cursed out loud when she saw Blue's card.
'She bluffed me!' White thought. 'I never thought that a mind-controlled person would consider bluffing.' (Blue – 12800) (White – 7200)
Outside the room Sapphire nearly cursed as White lost the first two hands. Pearl was biting his nails in anticipation and Crystal was shaking because of the risk that White may lose.
Blue now shuffled the deck almost flawlessly and gave the both of them five cards each.
Blue: Queen of Spades, King of Spades, Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Spades, and Seven of Hearts (12600) [200]
White: Four of Clubs, Ace of Spades, Five of Hearts, ten of Clubs, and Two of Spades. (7000) [200]
"600" White said and Blue called.
"I'll just take one." White said before realizing the chances was slim for the three card to appear but it was still there and she was prepared to take the risk. She traded her Ten for the three of spades!
"I would exchange three." Blue said taking out her Queen, King and Seven for the King of Hearts, Five of Diamonds and Six of Clubs.
"2000" White said trying to keep her poker face. (5000) [2200] Fortunately, Blue bought it and called. (10600) [4200]
White showed her hand and immediately Blue noticed the five-high straight and sighed. (Blue – 10600) (White – 9200)
The fourth hand was White's turn to deal. She quickly yet nervously shuffled and gave five cards to Blue and herself.
Blue: Ace of Clubs, Eight of Spades, Four of Hearts, Jacks of Diamond, and Jack of Hearts. (10400) [200]
White: Ten of Spades, Four of Clubs, Two of Hearts, Queen of Hearts and Three of Spades. (9000) [400]
"700" White said. (8300) [1100]
"Call." Blue said still emotionless. (9700) [1800]
"I'll take three cards." White said trading her Ten, Four and Three for Two of Hearts, King of Spades, and Queen of Clubs.
"I'll take two cards." Blue said stoically and sternly replacing her Four and Eight for a King of Clubs and Seven of Clubs.
"1000" Blue said. (8700) [2800]
"Call." White said hoping that her pair of Queens would be enough. (7300) [3800]
Blue revealed her Pair of Jacks but was shut down by White's Pair of Queens. (Blue – 8700) (White – 11000)
Administrative Building – 1:10
"Hey Rald? Are you done yet? You know this isn't exactly easy, you know?" Black said as he was trying to dodge the swift punches delivered by Lt. Surge.
"Hey if it was easy then I'll be done right now!" Emerald retorted back.
"Well, hurry up!" Black shouted as the blows continued. Just as he glanced at Emerald; Surge quickly used the opportunity to deliver a quick blow throwing the boy off his feet.
"Haha, looks like he didn't put up too much of a fight, you're next boy." Lt. Surge laughed as he started charging at Emerald.
"NOW, RALD!" Black shouted and Emerald quickly pushed a button that made an explosion, incapacitating Lt. Surge.
"Did it work?" Black asked as he was trying to see through the smoke caused by the explosion.
"Yeah, it did." Emerald grinned.
"Mr. Emerald and Mr. Black, are you okay? We have heard an explosion and oh~ it seems you have already defeated him." Platina said looking at Surge's unconscious body.
"I'm fine, nice of you guys to join in." Emerald said standing up without his robotic exteriors
"Let's get to work on that machine." Platina said while the three boys nodded.
Special Gymnasium – 1:30
The eighth hand was at play (Blue: 12500) (White: 7500). It was White's turn to deal.
Blue: Nine of Spades, Nine of Clubs, Ten of Diamond, Four of Hearts and Nine of Diamond. (12300) [200]
White: Five of Spades, Ace of Hearts, Two of Diamonds, Three of Hearts and Ten of Clubs. (7300) [400]
White was shivering inside because even though the chances of getting a Four is slim, it's still there and she was getting anxious but decided to not show her enthusiasm for Blue might fold on a potential game ender.
"300" White said which Blue called quickly.
"I'll take two cards." Blue said replacing her Ten and Four for the Two of Hearts and the Nine of Hearts
"I'll take one." White was shaking as she replaced her Ten and landed ….. a Four of Diamonds.
"7000" White said emptying her money and putting it into the pot. (0) [7800]
"I'll empty mine as well." (A/N: If this is invalid then let's assume its legal, hehe...) Blue emptied her pot as well.
When the cards were revealed, Blue quickly stood up and left the room while White left the room afterwards, shaken but not down. She was quickly tackled by Sapphire and Crystal.
"Nice job! White!" Red said. Green looked at the observation deck where Giovanni was located. Giovanni smiled a bit before pressing a remote deactivating the chips.
Administrative Building – 2:00
"Mr. Emerald, what's happening?" Platina said as the machine started buzzing and then stopped.
"The machine deactivated." Emerald said before grinning. "They did it."
"Just like that?" Black asked.
"Yeah. It's all turned off and everything." Emerald reassured.
Special Gymnasium – 2:00
"Huh?" "What?" "Why?" "Where?" How?" Those were the questions running through everyone's minds as they were released from the control of the chip.
"Green, I think everyone's released from the chip." Red said. "That means?" Then they all took a look at their friends.
"Hey, Blue, what's going on?" Yellow asked tugging Blue's blouse.
"I don't know Yellow but my head hurts." Blue said holding her head.
"What am I doing in this uniform? This is so tacky! Are those mud stains?! Oh, Arceus I hope I didn't just crawl through mud!" Ruby was screaming around frantic by his clothes (as usual).
"Shut up, prissy pants!" Gold mocked Ruby.
"Huh? What happened?" Bianca asked.
I'm hungry, anybody got food?" Dia asked while clutching his almost empty stomach.
"No, Dia sorry." Wally answered.
"DIA!" Pearl ran towards Dia and hugged his best friend. Dia even though confused with the situation hugged back. "Pearl, what happened?" Dia asked but Pearl didn't stop the hug.
"Gold, you idiot!" Crystal said while giving Gold a kick on the shins.
"Ow, Crystal! That really hurts!" Gold said rubbing the sore part.
"Bianca!" Cheren shouted. "Oh Cheren ~ oww!" Bianca tripped and stumbled down before being helped up by Cheren.
"You got to be careful, next time." Cheren said before sighing.
"Ruby!" Sapphire charged towards Ruby. "No, Sapph wait no~ ahhh!" Ruby was tackled to the ground by Sapphire who was now crying. Ruby then just realized that he didn't have his hat on and quickly removed his tie and wrapped it on his forehead. Fortunately, Sapphire didn't notice.
"You're okay too, Wally." Sapphire said letting go of the hug (vice grip), making Ruby gasp for air.
"I'm fine, Sapph, thank you." Wally smiled.
"Yellow, are you okay?" Red asked the blonde.
"Yes Red, I'm fine, a little dizzy but fine." Yellow said.
"I'm glad." Red said making Yellow blush by Red's concern.
"Green, what happened?" Blue asked Green and Green quickly gave everyone details as to what happened from Ruby, Wally, and Gold's infection to the Special Olympics.
"Let's go to the observation deck!" Blue said and everyone hurriedly ran towards it but when they got there Giovanni was gone.
"What should we do now? What about the entire student body?" Cheren asked.
"We'll instruct the students to return to their respective dorms and we shall call the police to conduct a search for Giovanni. We can't let the students know what happened, they might get paranoid." Blue said.
Blue then made an announcement instructing everyone to return to their dorms. After the announcement, four people were entering the observation deck.
"DIA!" a gentle voice said before hugging Dia which made Dia blush but hugged back.
"You okay, prissy?" Emerald said which bothered Ruby even more.
"Yes, Shorty." Ruby said still bugged out by the fact that he doesn't have his hat.
"Where are the enforcers?" Red aske d them. "They were gone when we left the building." Emerald said.
"Well, we'll just leave that matter to the police, we can't make a buzz about it or else the student's might know." Green said.
"Okay then, let us all go back to our dorms and rest, today was a tiring day!" Red said.
"Okay then, BYE!" Ruby said as he left leaving a trail of smoke behind him. 'I hope they didn't see them' Ruby thought.
