[The feed opens on Joey and a Bisharp standing in front of a slot machine. Both wear ecstatic expressions as the machine dispenses coin-after-coin, and Joey holds a confused looking Dratini above his head as he cheers. Noise from the other machines and patrons occasionally cuts through the pair's exultation, but the majority of sound pouring through the feed comes from their cheers.]

Yo we did it! We made out like bandits!

[Joey thrusts the Dratini forward for the camera to see.]

Me and Hermos here have been killin' it on da slots, so dis lil' jackpot here marks twelve and a half grand we've managed to carve out! We got ourselves a big ol' chunk'a change and scored dis' heckin' baloon animal-lookin' Pokémon too! There's no stoppin' da wheels on da Joey Train!

[Alright. So last weekend did happen. Because there's Joey, being.... Joey. Marik's never been to the Game Corner himself but he can only assume the odds of actually winning are slim to none.

What the hell is with this guy's luck in everything?]


That's not... that's not a balloon animal. That's a Dratini. Those are the quintessential dragon-type pokémon.

How long were you playing those machines...?

Ah, congrats . . . ! On the win and the Pokémon. Dratini are supposed to be pretty powerful once they grow.

[Radley quirks an eyebrow in impressed surprise.]

I see your lucky touch is still going strong. You've really scored!

((OOC: Very cute art!))

[ Kaiba's eye twitches. He's dressed in a wetsuit on the coast of Goldenrod, a Kingdra looming behind him in the shallows...and the Kingdra is definitely radiating suspicion. Her trainer is radiating aggravation. ]

I wanted a Porygon, but I decided it wasn't worth risking the rest of my budget. HOW did you roll that high?

[You know what, she's actually just slowly blinking in utter confusion at this scene that just unfolded on her screen. It's all so bright and loud and how can people stand it? Luckily it doesn't take her too long to finally respond, a gastly just seeming to watch from over her shoulder. It's fine, really.]

Should you... be holding that creature like that? [Look, she can't not be concerned about the Pokemon and completely sidestepping everything else in this scene. It's easier to handle this way, clearly.]

[ Huh, what is it about this post that stood out to Yuzu in particular? She supposes that it's probably just the fact that someone managed to actually win a Dratini at that game corner. Not that Yuzu's really tried herself. ]

Whoa... don't you need to win a whole lot in order to win a Dratini? That's impressive...

[ She stares at the screen for a moment... ]

Are you sure it's alright to be holding them like that, though?

[ It doesn't look particularly wrong but the poor thing does look at least a little distressed and confused at what the heck is going on. ]

[Well, dang. Riku flashes a smirk.]

Dratini? Heh. Now that takes some serious luck. ...Or patience. Maybe both.

[He chuckles. Not much of a gambling guy, but he can appreciate the effort, at least.]

Gonna take just as much patience to train, but if you can power through it, you'll get a serious powerhouse out of it. Dragonite's no slouch when it comes to power and versatility.

Yo! Congrats on the win, dude! Spending the day at the arcade's one way to beat the cold!

What's that Pokemon you've got who looks like a sumarai?
