Yesterday I broke 300 hits in one day. I can't even begin to express how much it means to me that my story is even looked at that many times in a day. I'm completely blown away. I don't think anything I could say would express my thanks properly, but thank you everyone!

Also, this chapter would probably have been late because today was volunteer day. But, someone forgot to either tell me that we weren't going or forgot to pick me up...

Disclaimer: Pokémon, along with any people, places or things from it are not mine, nor do I claim it to be. The only thing I do own is myself and the dream this all started from.

I healed my Pokémon up, and then went over to the famous Celadon Department Store. While shopping wasn't one of my favourite things to do I figured I could find some useful items in this enormous Mart. I actually didn't find anything super useful. I bought one of the evolutionary stones to evolve a Pokémon I wanted to use on my team in the future and bought 30 Lemonades.

Once I had finished walking through the Department Store I headed down to the other main attraction in the city, other than the Gym. The Game Corner, or as I liked to call it, The Underage Casino was this place. Unfortunately they turned me away, not because I was only fifteen, but because I didn't have a Coin Case.

I remembered where one of these could be found, at the Café, which was fortunately in Celadon City. I headed over and talked to the man at the table farthest from the door, since I remembered it was him who gave these Coin Cases out.

"Go ahead!" he exclaimed as I approached him, "Laugh! I'm flat-out busted! No more slots for me! I'm going straight! Here! I won't need this anymore!"

The man gave me a Coin Case, which I thanked him for. The man only warned me to be careful about spending my money at the Game Corner before I left; heading back to see what kind of prizes I could win at the Game Corner.

I walked into the smaller building next to the Game Corner to look at the prizes. I was surprised at how many things I wanted. I totalled the amount of Coins I'd need to buy all of these things. I figured that I would need 24,600 Coins to buy everything I wanted. This didn't include duplicates of TMs, since it seemed that you could reuse the TMs.

"There's no way..." I mumbled to myself.

Of course I had to try though, which meant I needed to do a lot of work, make a lot of trips, because the Coin Case only could hold 9,999 Coins, and have a lot of luck, which I didn't have. I first went through the Game Corner and talked to all of the people, seeming to remember that some of them would give you free coins. I only received 50 Coins this way.

My next step was to see if I had the money to buy enough Coins. Of course I didn't. I only had 50,000 Poké dollars, which would buy me 2,500 Coins, only about a tenth of what I would need. I bought 500 coins and sat myself down at a machine.

It actually only took me the rest of the day to fill my Coin Case for the first time. I would only need to do this once more, and then get another 4602 Coins to get everything I wanted. I headed over to the store beside the Game Corner to pick up some prizes before bed. I could only buy two things with the Coins I had made, but that would leave me with a head start of 1999 Coins for the next day. I bought TM23, which was Iron Tail and TM30, which was Shadow Ball. These were the only two items I planned on picking up for the three Pokémon I had now. The rest of the things I needed were for other Pokémon I planned on using.

I gave both of these TMs to Kadabra, getting rid of Recover and Confusion to make room for these two new moves. Shadow Ball fit well with my strategy. Kadabra was weak to Ghost types, but Ghost types were weak to Ghost as well. The other move, Iron Tail was just to add diversity to my move pool. Though Kadabra certainly didn't have the highest attack skill it was a strong move that I could use to counter Pokémon with high special defence and low defence if I needed my Kadabra to do so.

I headed to bed after my day of gambling and prize winning. I felt like today had been a huge success, where failure seemed to be almost certain. I had only spent 10,000 Poké dollars, which was only a fifth of what I had before I spent the money. As long as I didn't spend any more I knew I would be in the clear.

The next morning I headed back out to the Game Corner to try to gain some more Coins to buy the rest of the things I wanted to get for my future team. I wasn't as successful as I was yesterday, but I managed to only spend another 10,000 Poké dollars, which wasn't as bad as it could be. Again, it took me all day to win 9,999 Coins, which was not too bad considering I had to buy more Coins.

Again, I went over to the prize corner to buy myself some prizes with my hard earned Coins. I bought another two TMs, TM13, which was Ice Beam and TM24, which was Thunderbolt. This, again, left me with 1999.

After another sleep I went back to the game corner to get the 6601 Coins I needed to earn to get the final prizes I wanted. Unfortunately the day wasn't going well. I lost all of my remaining Coins, which meant I needed to now make 8600, and forced me to buy another 500 Coins. By midday I had managed to get myself 4000 Coins, leaving only 4600 left to get.

"Jenn?" a voice said behind me.

"What is it?" I asked. My voice sounded almost crazed. I shook my head and cleared the haze that covered it.

"I think you've become addicted to the slots," the voice replied.

"I think you're right," I said. I had heard myself when I had answered this person, and it didn't sound pretty.

I turned around; the person I was talking to was Paula.

"It seems everyone has been getting addicted to these machines," Paula said as I stood up, distancing myself from the evil game, "I had to drag Samantha and Dana out of here too. Of course they wouldn't let me until they had enough coins to buy what they wanted to buy."

I chuckled, "Maybe I should check for Ashley and Alicia."

"NO!" I heard a blood curdling scream, "YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!"

"And there Alicia is," I laughed.

"I'll leave you to do that," Paula said as she ducked out of the door.

I walked over to the eastern side of the Game Corner, where I had heard Alicia's scream come from. Alicia was sitting at the machine while Ashley was trying to drag her away.

"Need some help?" I asked Ashley as I walked up behind them.

"Yes!" Ashley exclaimed.

Ashley and I grabbed onto the insane girl sitting at the slot machine and pulled. Eventually we managed to get her away from the machine and out of the door.
