The night was calm, with countless stars twinkling in the sky.
Autumn was nearing, and the evening breeze carried a faint chill. A small group sat around a campfire, the flames crackling under an empty iron pot suspended above.
Not far from the group, in the shadows beneath a tree where the firelight barely reached, a golden-haired girl sat quietly.
Her slender legs, clad in black stockings, were slightly bent as a book rested on her lap. The girl was writing something in th...

The door was opened by an elegant and captivating young woman.
Her skin was as flawless as white jade, and her long, golden hair flowed smoothly down her shoulders. A navy-blue ribbon tied her hair into a single ponytail at the back, giving her an air of dignified confidence. Her bright emerald-green eyes sparkled with intelligence and depth, while her delicate features needed no adornment to highlight her natural beauty.
The most striking feature, however, was the golden cowlick ...

The next morning, August woke up feeling completely refreshed. He stretched his arms and found them back to normal.
"Human bodies are pretty amazing."
As he marveled at his miraculous recovery, he remembered the golden Magikarp he had acquired yesterday. It was, after all, his fourth Pokémon—time to get properly acquainted.
"Come on out, Magikarp!"
With a flash of light, the golden Magikarp emerged from its Poké Ball.
It seemed unfamiliar with its surrounding...

Unlike in the games, the entrance to Team Rocket’s base wasn’t hidden beneath a poster next to the front desk.
In reality, there weren’t any posters on the walls near the front desk at all.
So, in truth, August hadn’t found any concrete evidence that Team Rocket’s base existed.
But that didn’t stop him from passing the information along to Lance—after all, it was just his reasonable speculation.
"Once I hand over these three captives to you, you ...

"We've been discovered!"
The man in the suit felt a wave of shock and uncertainty.
He and his subordinates had been tracking their target through the signal of a hidden tracker, following it all the way to this secluded alley. Initially, he had been pleased—his prey had unwittingly led themselves into an isolated area, saving them the trouble of avoiding prying eyes.
But the moment they stepped into the alley, they were exposed.
Their target wasn’t some clueless to...

After making his way through the Game Corner’s warehouse, exchanging for every item he wanted—and letting Blue pick out whatever she liked—August realized something surprising.
He still had over half his tokens left.
Wait… just how much did I win again?
August was a little dazed. He only remembered that he had been winning non-stop, but he had no recollection of the exact amount.
The nearby staff, on the other hand, were feeling mildly terrified a...

“This has to be a cheat code!”
“I hereby declare him the Slot Machine Sage!”
As August hit another jackpot, the entire Game Corner erupted in cheers.
No one had expected that switching machines wouldn’t break his winning streak.
To put it bluntly, everyone playing here had lost a lot of money to the casino at some point.
So watching the casino lose money instead? That was somehow even more satisfying than winning themselve...

Blue stared in shock. She hadn’t expected August to hit a triple 7 on his very first pull.
August, too, was stunned as he looked at the pile of tokens accumulating in the payout tray.
Did my luck suddenly turn around? Or is Team Rocket messing with the odds behind the scenes, trying to pacify me by giving me a few wins so I stay quiet?
He wasn’t sure.
But there was a simple way to find out.
He grabbed the lever again and ...

August and Blue made their way toward the slot machines.
The same casino attendant from earlier approached them again, his face beaming with enthusiasm. “Finally decided to try out Celadon Game Corner’s signature slot machines? Believe me, it’s an absolutely thrilling game!”
“This month alone, we’ve already had two jackpot winners! One of them even exchanged their winnings for a rare Porygon! There are plenty of valuable prizes up for grabs—don’t miss out!”

August and Blue stepped into Celadon Game Corner.
Unlike the near-empty, desolate atmosphere in the games, the casino before August was lively—borderline chaotic.
Office workers in white shirts, heavily made-up women, and balding middle-aged men with weary faces all sat before the slot machines, yanking the levers from time to time, their eyes glued to the screens. With every spin, their faces flickered between excitement and disappointment.
Desire and greed intertwined, f...

An informant?
Lance hadn’t expected this to be the reason August contacted him. He was momentarily stunned before blurting out:

“...”
August’s face darkened.
He couldn’t deny that Lance was just stating the harsh reality, but the...

The battlefield was engulfed in rain.
And it wasn’t just Field #2 where August and Blue were battling—several other nearby battlefields were also caught in the downpour.
One of those fields had been hosting a heated match between a Charmeleon and a Magmar.
But the moment the rain began, their flames sputtered out.
With both Fire-types suddenly weakened, the battle was cut short.
Still, instead of driving people away, the rain drew even more spectators to...

A Dratini was an incredibly rare sight in Kanto.

One particular match caught August’s attention.

Celadon University Cafeteria
After bidding farewell to President Furuya, August and Blue headed to the cafeteria for dinner.
As he finished the last bite of his dessert, August casually compared the quality of the League Headquarters’ cafeteria to that of Celadon University.
His conclusion? Both had their merits.
The League’s cafeteria had the advantage of a massive budget.

Of all the possibilities, this was the last thing she had expected.

Blue stopped August and turned to the receptionist.
“One standard room and one deluxe suite, please.”
Then, she paid for her own room.
The moment the money left her account, a deep sense of loss hit her. Even a standard room was a considerable expense for her.
But at least she had stopped August in time. If she had gone along with his plan to book a deluxe suite, her entire wallet would have been drained in a single day.

Lowering his gaze, he took in the scene before him—at the center of the cavern stood a massive Moon Stone, bathed in soft moonlight that refracted into a gentle white glow.
