and Back to the game!
As the sixth turn rolled around, it was Green's turn to be dealer. And he shuffled the cards quickly, eschewing the graceful moves that Blue and Gold used, for rough mechanical precision, passing Red the Eights of Clubs and Hearts; Himself the Two and Six of Clubs; Blue the Four of Diamonds and Hearts. In spite of the Hand being matched, Blue knew that it was an awful Hand, though given the random nature of the dealings, she supposed she would have to take what she could get. Yellow got The King of Spades and Five of Clubs. prior to the game, Blue had told her not to bother with any pair of cards that weren't matched, in suit or number, so Yellow knew to fold.
Gold held the Three of Spades and Queen of Diamonds; Silver the Six of Spades and Queen of Clubs, and Crystal had the Five and Seven of Diamonds. Lacking Gold and Blue's gambling instincts, she felt that the Hand might be a good choice.
Ruby had the Ten of Clubs and Six of Diamonds; Sapphire the Three of Clubs and Jack of Diamonds; and Emerald the Seven of Clubs and Nine of Diamonds.
"Make your bets."
"400." Red smirked, knowing at, the moment, he likely held the best cards. (Red: 5950) (Pot: 400)
"Fold." Green muttered.
"Call." Blue smirked. (Blue: 8400) (Pot: 800)
"I'll like to fold." Yellow politely said.
"Fold here too." Gold grumbled.
"And here." Silver flatly said, still losing some money. He knew that he could barely afford to lose what he did. (Silver: 4500) (Pot: 1300)
"Call." Crystal smiled, losing a little extra money. (Crystal: 21750) (Pot: 1950)
"Fold." Ruby sighed.
"Fold." Sapphire said.
"Call." Emerald grinned. (Emerald: 8700) (Pot: 2350)
"Okay then." Green semi-distantly said, placing the flop, consisting of the Jack of Spades, and the Seven and Queen of Hearts. "Yep." Blue thought to herself, managing to keep her smirk going, when in truth, that was the last thing on her mind. "I'm screwed." When Gold, Silver and Sapphire saw the flop, they all cursed loudly.
"Let's proceed to the next round." Green said, ignoring their profanities. Though, he had to admit, Sapphire had quite a vocabulary.
"600." Red smirked. (Red: 5350) (Pot: 2950)
"Fold." Blue muttered. It was the only thing she could do after that flop, and she knew it.
"I am going to call." Crystal smiled. (Crystal 21150) (Pot: 3550)
"I-I-uh.." Emerald hesitated, unnerved by Crystal's smiling, before he added the requisite money to the pot. (Emerald: 8100) (Pot: 4150)
Wordlessly, Green placed the fourth card, the Eight of Spades, prompting Red to smirk wider than Crystal did.
"Check." Red, Crystal and Emerald said consecutively, cuing Green to place the final card, the Seven of Spades.
Red revealed his cards, a Pair of Eights. "I'll be taking that, if you don't mind." he told everyone, smirking as he reached for the pot.
"Oh, but I do, Red. You see, I have this!" Crystal smiled, with mock-politeness, placing her hand on the table, consisting of Three of a Kind.
"Crystal, I'm afraid I can't let that slide." Emerald smoothly said.
"E-Excuse me, Emerald?!" Crystal exclaimed, uncertain she had heard him right.
"You see, Crystal, I also have Three of a Kind. And since we're even... my Nine beats your Five." He smirked, as he could see, on her face, that her mind had reached that same conclusion.
"Great job, kid." Gold said, patting Emerald on the head, as the shorter blond pulled the pot to himself. (Emerald: 12250)
Still somewhat annoyed at losing the game, Crystal decided to give Gold a piece of her mind. "Once this game is over, Gold, we're going to have a stern talk about what you're teaching Emerald." She said, somewhat angrily, before she took off her shoes. Red took off his shirt, allowing the other PokeDex Holders to gaze at his rather impressive abs. Leaving only Blue...
Having no other clothes, like shoes, gloves or hats to take off, Blue was forced to take off her shirt, exposing her snow-white bra, and her DD-cup breasts to the group. "Hopefully," Blue thought to herself "these can distract the others from the game." As far as Blue could tell, it was working.
Gold, Silver, Ruby and Emerald all stared at her formidable chest, as she had expected them to. She had not expected, however, for Crystal or Sapphire to do the same. Though she had to hand it to Red, Green and Yellow for keeping their hormones in check.
Oi, Six chapters in, and several guys are shirtless.
