Yes, I could easily get about 5 chapters more out of this. But I'd rather not.

This is the end, beautiful friends.

Quoth Antfish: Thanks for stickin around.

Yellow: 19650 PKD. Wearing: Fully dressed.

Incidentally, if anyone has no desire to read this story... MAKE WAY! for people who do.

As always, props to Style Marshlovski for the Beta-read.


Round 25

Yellow herself had the Ace and Two of Spades while Sapphire had the Seven and King of Diamonds.

"200." Yellow said. (19200) (Pot: 450)

"Call." Sapphire reluctantly muttered; a suited pair of cards were good, but should Yellow have anything, she would definitely lose. (4600) (Pot: 1150)

Yellow placed the Six of Clubs, Ace of Clubs and King of Hearts on the table.

"200 more." Yellow said. (19000) (Pot: 1350)

"Call." Sapphire sighed, knowing at any moment, Yellow could raise further than she herself could risk to match. Though it was unlikely for the blonde to put such pressure on anyone. (4400) (Pot: 1550)

Yellow placed the Six of Hearts beside the three other cards.

"100." Yellow grinned; she knew Sapphire to be aware that she was winning, and that the only way for Sapphire to even be in the game, was to call Yellow's bets as she made them. (18900) (Pot: 1650)

"Call." Sapphire cringed; the last thing she should be doing was to let Yellow dictate the terms of the game, and make low bets like these, but she didn't have any other options. Or rather, doing so was her best option; going All-In was far too risky. On the other hand, doing that was likely not something Yellow had anticipated, and might tip the game in her own favor... (4300) (Pot: 1750)

Yellow placed the final card, the Ten of Diamonds.

"Check." Both said, revealing their cards.

"The grand finalé was unexpectedly simple." Yellow remarked, as Sapphire grumbled, and removed her shorts, revealing her ocean-blue panties. (20650)

"It's not over yet, Yellow!" Sapphire shot back.

Round 26

Yellow didn't respond, taking back the cards. Sapphire noted that this time, Yellow shuffled the deck with a more efficient and precise series of movements than she normally associated with the sweet-tempered blonde, making no mistakes; not a single card was accidentally turned over. Yellow tossed her a pair, that effortlessly slid through the air, landing perfectly side by side in front of her, before giving herself two.

This time, Sapphire held the Eight of Diamonds and Four of Hearts while Yellow had the Three and Five of Clubs.

"300." Yellow grinned. (19850) (Pot: 800)

"Call." Sapphire muttered. (3750) (Pot: 1350)

Yellow placed the Eight of Spades, the Seven of Clubs and Three of Diamonds, giving both everything they needed.

"Check." Both said.

Yellow placed the Three of Spades.

"500." Yellow said. (19350) (Pot: 1850)

"Call." Sapphire confidently replied, unnerving Yellow; while unlikely, another Eight would give Sapphire a Three of a Kind, which she highly doubted Yellow could match. (3250) (Pot: 2350)

Ignoring Sapphire's sudden burst of confidence, Yellow placed the Eight of Clubs beside the other four cards.

"1000." Yellow smirked, suspecting that Sapphire wouldn't want to call her bet. (18350) (Pot: 3350)

She was sorely mistaken, as Sapphire grinned at her. "Call." (2250) (Pot: 4350)

Both players revealed their hands. "Thought so!" Sapphire exclaimed. (6600)

Yellow didn't seem too concerned with losing, though what she did next, nobody had seen coming.

Yellow removed her shirt, showing everyone present, that was to say, every PokeDex Holder save Emerald, who still hadn't returned, her simple-designed, white bra.

Sapphire noted that the blonde wasn't exactly well-endowed, as they looked to be about 34B, though she thought that it made for an exquisite sense of asymmetry or contrast with the extremely busty Blue sitting next to her. "Great... Now I'm thinking like the sissy."

Round 27

For the third Hand, Yellow dealt herself and Sapphire a pair of cards.

Sapphire held the Two of Hearts and Nine of Clubs while Yellow had the Seven of Spades and Eight of Diamonds.

This was where Sapphire regretted not having been able to win either Blue's or Crystal's money; she'd desperately needed that, in event of any battles of attrition. Yellow could easily keep folding, and wait until Sapphire was forced to go All-In, then bet less than a single percent of her money.

Sapphire bitterly noted that Yellow was better at this game than either Sapphire or anyone else ever suspected.

"Nice." Gold whistled, having arrived at the same conclusion, as Sapphire. "Yellow, are you available next Tuesday or Thursday? Because I've got some big-time poker games with this guy from Unova, and some other people."

"Sure, as long as it's not strip poker." Yellow merrily chirped.

"Can we please get on with this?" Sapphire asked, annoyed at Gold interrupting the game that had been his own idea.

"Oh, okay, let's have a go then. 400." Yellow replied. (17700) (Pot: 650)

"Call." Sapphire flatly said. (5700) (Pot: 1550)

Yellow placed the Ten and Six of Diamonds, and the Seven of Hearts.

"Check." Yellow said.

"Check." Sapphire replied, only too happy to save her money.

Yellow then placed the turn card, the Five of Spades, beside the flop.

"500." Yellow smiled. (17200) (Pot: 2050)

"Call." Sapphire hesitantly replied, more than a bit unnerved by Yellow's constant smiling. (5200) (Pot: 2550)

Yellow placed the river card, oblivious to Sapphire's discomfort.

"Check." Both said, and revealed their hand.

"Sorry, Sapphire." Yellow apologized. (19750)

"It's fine, Yellow." Sapphire replied, and removed her shirt, revealing her ocean-blue sports-bra.

By Yellow's estimate, the younger brunette looked to be a 36C, and that was about all that Yellow could tell.

Round 28

Yellow held the King of Spades and Queen of Diamonds while Sapphire had the Two and Eight of Spades.

"500." Yellow smirked. (19000) (Pot: 750)

"Call." Sapphire said, returning her grin. (4200) (Pot: 1750)

Yellow placed the Ace of Hearts, Two of Clubs and Eight of Hearts on the table.

"Check." Both sighed.

Yellow placed the turn card, the Three of Clubs.

"Check." Both said.

"You just wanna get over this with, don't you?" Blue grinned.

"Yeah, kinda, Blue. I mean, we've been playing since about 9AM this morning." Yellow explained, looking out the window, where she could see the sun setting near Vermillion City, as she placed the river card, which was the Six of Spades.

"300." Yellow said. (18700) (2050)

"Call." Sapphire replied with a grin. (3900) (Pot: 2350)

Both revealed their hands, and to Sapphire's frustration, the blonde had, once again, come out on top. (21050)

With a displeased grunt, Sapphire removed her panties.

Ruby, Blue and Gold all noted that her vagina was covered in bushy, brown hair. Though, Blue'd never imagined it possible, to have quite that much hair there.

Round 29

Yellow dealt the cards in what everyone, Yellow, Sapphire, Crystal, Blue, Red, Silver, Green, Ruby and Gold, knew would be the final hand to be dealt; Sapphire's odds were just too slim.

Yellow held the Ace of Spades and King of Diamonds while Sapphire had the Seven of Spades and Nine of Clubs.

"300." Yellow quietly said. (20250) (800)

"Call." Sapphire added. (3350) (1350)

Yellow put the Jack of Clubs, along with the Three and Ace of Diamonds on the table.

"Check." Both said, eager to finish the game, after several hours.

Yellow placed the turn card, the King of Clubs beside the flop, having everything she needed to grasp decisive victory.

"Check." Both said.

Yellow placed the final card, the Four of Spades, while Blue watched, with some amusement, wondering why, if they were bored with the game, they did not simply end it, while Sapphire was still barely-dressed, though she chalked it up to them enjoying themselves.

"Check." The two said, for the final time, and revealed their hands.

"DAMMIT!" Sapphire loudly cursed, upon seeing Yellow's Two Pairs, Aces and Kings, removing her bra.

"Well, this was fun. Maybe we could do it again some other time?" Blue suggested.

"Yeah, maybe." Yellow agreed.

"Well, not strip poker, that's for sure." Crystal added, noticing Gold's excited stare.

"Hey, guys. What'd I miss?" Emerald asked, as he closed the door behind him.

"Oh, Emerald. You're back." Crystal replied, pleased. However, Emerald failed to answer, seemingly frozen in his tracks. "Emerald?" Crystal asked, concerned. "What's wrong?"

"Blue is..." Emerald stammered with barely-contained glee, staring at Blue's full, exposed chest, before he passed out, collapsing on the floor, earning an approving smirk from Gold, and sighing disapproval from Crystal.


"A mere girl thinks she can imitate the glory and greatness of I, Dio?!"

"Nonetheless, I will admit that she made an excellent attempt."

How about this for another game?
