Landorus shot a quick glance at his brothers, Tornadus and Thundurus, both of whom nodded back. Everything was in place, their plan was infallible. Today was the day their hated arch-enemy would suffer absolute and total defeat!
...Yet, Landorus couldn't help but feel that something was wrong. Oh so very wrong. Looking through everything, he finally realized what was wrong. I don't have it! Landorus was overcome with worry, and glanced at Tornadus, who realized what was wrong, and came to the same conclusion. He doesn't have 'it' either.
Both of them looked at Thundurus, and the Bolt Strike pokemon shook his head. A vital mistake normally, but at this point, the Forces of Nature realized they were screwed unless a miracle occured. Yet all of them knew, the one who had lady luck's favour was the one in front of them.
Victini noticed the trio stared at him, all of them sweating profusely. At first, he didn't do anything to confirm their fears, as if ignorant to their plight. Landorus was about to breathe a sigh in relief…
...When Victini suddenly sported a massive grin, raised his hand and slammed it on the table!
"Four of a Kind. I guess that means I win, unless either of you happen to have a Straight or Royal Flush?
The trio despaired at his question, and Victini took that as his que to grab the pot, with no less than fifty thousand poke.
Meanwhile, Landorus couldn't believe it. They had all focused so desperately on getting a Royal Flush, while Victini had leisurely gotten a Four of a Kind, using all the kings. Without a king, a Royal Flush became impossible. If either of them had realized sooner, they would've scrambled for a straight flush instead.
"Damn you Victini! This isn't over, you hear me! I don't care how long it'll take, I WILL defeat you one day, mark my words!"
"You're starting to sound like a b-movie villain, Landorus. But go ahead, I accept any game challenge, anytime, anyplace." Victini answered with a big grin before leaving the room and heading towards the Hall's shop, where he would spend all earnings on candy.

I'm sorry this isn't what the three of you requested (that is, Victini playing poker with the Regis, and Victini playing Monopoly, respectively), as well as it being not so much of actually playing the game, but this is my reasoning:
While certainly, I haven't written anything about the Regis so far, I've wanted to write about the Forces of Nature for awhile, and it became difficult to write about the Regis reactions in poker (that is, they always have a pokerface, and that's cheating).
Also, about it not being much of actual poker-playing: I don't know jack(pot)sh*t of poker. I've never played it, nor will I since I dislike gambling. So, it became like this instead, I hope the three of you don't mind too much.
And then, to any other readers, followers or no: I'm sorry for not updating in… forever? I have no excuse for that, except that I'm lazy a**. At times, I had no inspiration, at times, I had no motivation, yet at times, I had no time: in the end, nothing happened. Now, I had all three, and decided to write this chapter no matter what, so I could finally put it behind me. Truth be told, I'm slightly against even posting this chapter, as it feels somewhat lackluster. All other chapters are relatively short, but this one is the shortest ever, and I don't think it's even remotely funny… I blame my lack of skill in the story-writing department.
