After a good long while, you think that Trunks is getting close. He's a smart one.

"I hate to interrupt, but we have to get moving if we want to catch that ferry." Vance hitches up his backpack. You look around and realize Robin and Vance are all packed. "Sorry Trunks. We'll have to pick it up later. Good job though, that's a very advanced move and you look like you're getting really close." Trunks snuggles up affectionately. You return him and grab Raistlin, who's been watching the entire time. You hope he picked something up.

Vance runs ahead and you and Robin are right behind him. You see your destination as you get over a small hill. There's a small hamlet around the docks. It's not much, not even a Pokemon center, but they have a small hotel with a restaurant, a gas station, and a few other basic amenities. There are people in tourist clothes lining up and ex. Just nearby, you spot a booth that's selling tickets.

"I'm pretty short on money." Vance says. "Do you two mind if we all get one cabin together? I can get my own room if you want."

Robin nods. "I'm a little short too. I can still afford it either way, but I'm fine with that."

You check your trainer ID. "We already shared the hotel room, and bed. I think we're passed having separate rooms." Vance looks relieved. He's been covering food, and even Pokemon food, so it's no wonder he's low on funds. Robin was cut off from her dad, so she'll need to learn to get by on less too. You, on the other hand, have no problem getting by on nothing. You still have a pretty good amount of money too.

You get to the desk and make arrangements for the three of you to get one cabin. There's a long haired teenager working the desk. As stamps the tickets, he looks the three of you over and settles on Vance. "Dude. Niiiiice." You can tell by the color of Robin's face that she didn't catch that. You move everyone along before she does. Vance just scratches the back of his neck and laughs.

It takes awhile before the Ferry is ready to leave. The three of you settle in and unpack. It's...cozy. Hopefully the three of you will manage.

"So," Vance says, "What do you guys want to do now?"

You think for a minute. "The deck looked pretty big."

"It's pretty common to have battles on the big flat decks of ships like this. Sometimes they discourage it, but some boat encourage it too."

Vance is reading a pamphlet on the cruise. "Looks like they like they encourage it here. It says here they have some sort of fold-out platform.

"Great!" You say. "We'll go there right after we win some money at the casino."

Vance and Robin roll their eyes.

"I won big last time, right?" They both concede. "Then relax. You two might consider it gambling, but I consider it free money. If you're nice, maybe I'll even teach you two how it's done." Truthfully you just got really lucky before, but they don't need to know that.

The three of you walk below to the casino. It looks like you weren't the only ones to think of this. The ship hasn't even left port yet and there's already a few people here playing machines, blackjack, poker, throwing dice, or just having a drink. It's still pretty early in the morning, but who are you to judge?

You see that there are no special prizes on this boat. It's just gambling for good old money.

You head over to the Poker table and pull up a chair. Texas hold-em, your favorite. You throw in a few chips and play a few hands. Over the course of a short while, you feel you've gotten a good idea of the players around you.

There's a rich young woman on your left. Just a quick look at her shows that she's never lifted anything heavier than her own jewelry in her life. She looks sharp.

Across the table is an older man with a white mustache. His face is tough, and his eyes are steady.

To your right is a man in a slightly oversized suit. He's had a few, but he doesn't look like too big of a sucker.

After a few hands you find yourself roughly where you started. You've gained a small amount, but more importantly you've gotten a feel for players around you

You stay at the table. With a few clever bets and some conservative playing, you manage to make a little more money when one of the other players is knocked out in a split pot. The drunk in the business suit walks away from the table.

"Now look here ladies," the man with the mustache says, "I wouldn't be a gentleman if I took all of your money without at least warning you first. I'd hate to see tears on those pretty faces."

Typical bluff. The rich girl might fall for that sort of flattery, but you know better. Or maybe he just wants you to think it's a bluff. Maybe he wants you to think that he wants you to think it's a bluff. Maybe you're just overthinking it.

Welp

The next round of cards come up. You do your best to keep a straight face when your cards come up. Keep it cool, it might not even matter if it's a bad flop.

It is not a bad flop.

"Well that's awfully nice of you sir." You do your best to mimic the mannerisms of a vapid rich girl. "But it's just a game. Win or lose, or doesn't matter." That's probably the biggest lie you've ever told in your life. You go all in.

The girl on your left laughs. "Well put. The ship will be departing soon anyway. I grow tired of dancing around. Shall we settle this?"

The man across from you gives her, and then you, a good long stare. You force yourself to smile and meet his gaze instead of looking at the pot. Pretend it's no big deal. Just. Stay. Calm.

"Very well." He pushes his pile of chips in. "All in." His tries to hide his grin.

All of you flip your cards over. Damn it! He has a better hand. The next card doesn't change the situation one way or the other. He starts leaning over to collect the pot.

Then comes the river. The hand turns in your favor. You won.

You won!

"You won!" Robin says, patting you on the back. You won the most money you've ever seen in your life. You try to do the mental math and convert the chips into real cash, but you're sure that can't be right.

"Holy... Kat, do you know how much this is?" Vance asks.

You look around for security. Nobody is coming yet to 'suggest' you stop. If you move quickly, you can keep this streak going.

Wait did the orphanage abuse us or something? From what I remember they put up with us getting in trouble all the time and helped us get the pokemon license in the first place.

Where the hell is all the hostility coming from? It wasn't home-sweet-home but they didn't rape us for fucks sake.

>>29982386
Though shit bro. There is only one of you and a whole lot of votes.

I'm sure Robin can help us diversify our portfolio.

>>29982405
Robin I meant, the other girl.

>>29982401
No, this is not a business quest.
This is a pokemon quest, take that shit elsewhere.

What would a street orphan know about investing

>>29982363
Awwww...

>>29982417
They helped us get a licence because they were sick of us and wanted to get rid of us. They also made us feel dumb when we asked questions.

>>29982244
>Cash out, find a battle.

>>29982417
Kat hates abusive pokemon trainers. That possibly came from abuse in the orphanage. She's used to their indifference; the way she sees it the Orphanage helped with her registration just to get her out of there.

>>29982272
Yeah. No more gambling today.

>99
Oh well, there's way too much people arguing to stop.

>>29982483
And they also don't know anything about investing, we'd most likely just lose it all by putting it into a shitty business considering we know absolutely nothing about economics, investment, or business in general.

>>29982490
She has never yet said one good thing about the orphanage.
>>29982517
Good thing we have robin around then isn't it?

>>29982517
Which would be why they advised asking Robin, yes?

Rolled 97

>>29982517
That's why a savings account is the way to go if we're doing this.

Also, I vote we keep playing. There's suckers to fleece.

>>29982449
>>29982466
I know that the license thing was them also trying to get us to leave but it was also exactly the push we needed.

Beneficial to both parties, we were unusually old to be there. As for the question thing, it probably stemmed from the times she asked them sarcastically/mockingly, she did mention that.

I'm not saying we owe them much of anything but people are overreacting here.

>>29982529
She's never said anything bad about it either, and why would Robin know anything about investing or economics either, you think she went to attend some college course on it? She's a pokenerd not an entrepreneur

Personally, I don't like the option of putting your cash into items, but at least that makes sense for our character, even a savings account is a better idea, but this shit has no place

>>29982541
It was explicitly said they made her feel stupid the few times she asked a serious question.
Pro tip: kids usually don't enjoy being in an orphanage.
>>29982565
Wait what? Who said we were doing anything other than putting it in a savings account?

>>29982565
She was actually describing to us her portfolio plans for when she made it big back in thread 5?

>>29982603
Several people want to go around trying to invest in things with portfolio bullshit

>>29982618
Sounds like a good idea. Let's talk to Robin about her investment plans.

>>29982618
Oh fuck that.

>>29982618
That was one guy. Fuck that shit.

>>29982606
Where, I just scanned it and didn't see anything about that

>>29982653
Wouldn't that put a lot of stress in her? I mean, along with travelling, training pokemons, Kat coming on to her and being estranged from her father.

It sounds like a nice idea for an epilogue, maybe. I say we convert the cash into a property and later, much later, liquify those assets and go big into investing.

>>29982706
If we put it into items, we could get robbed. At least if we invest it, it'll be relatively safe.

>>29982729
But where would we have learned about investing?

>>29982729
investing is even riskier, and items are fine to a point, but when we have this much money it'll make us a gigantic, easy target.
The best option we have is to keep it in a savings account or our pokedex and just use small bets each battle

>>29982729
Kat doesn't seem the type to trust investing. Lets just put it into savings separate from our pokebattle account and not go full retard spending it. Can't get any safer than that.

"Robin, you said something about investing before, right?" Your eyes stay locked on the pile of chips.

"Uhhh, yeah. Did you want me to help you out with that?" Robin asks.

"Yes please." You nod.

Robin is visibly nervous "OK, I mean, I'll do some research when we get to land. I know I said that's what I'd do if I had a lot of money, but I never thought I'd see that much. I think a savings account or something might be a good idea for now though." You don't really understand that stuff, you just smile, nod, and collect your winnings. You quickly cash out before your some sort of calamity happens. Whatever you decide, it'll have to wait until you reach land.

"Wow," Vance says. "Wow."

"Yup." That's all you can say, you're almost scared to look at your trainer ID to see the number on it. You look anyway. It's still there. You can't believe you were thinking about gambling this a second ago. You can buy a lot with this. You could fund the rest of your journey and pay Robin and Vance's way too in decent comfort as long as you don't do something stupid.

You didn't even realize you were walking to the deck until you arrive. You also don't even remember when the ship left port. You look around at the wide lake. It really is something. You can see what you're pretty sure are Magikarp flopping in the distance.

You absentmindedly touch your trainer ID. Even with all this money though, it can't buy you the league championship. A battle should clear your mind. That was the plan after gambling, win or lose, right?

>>29982775
>>29982781

I can get behind this.

Although, we have any idea how much we actually have? I know the numbers are completely arbitrary, but like... do we have enough to put a down payment on a house or something?

>>29982781
I'd like to know a bit more about the banks. Are banks secured by some sort of government in case they get robbed? I don't want to be SoL when team rocket robs a bank and the bank tells us to fuck off

There's a bit of a selection here. You see a younger trainer hanging around the battle area, Pokeballs hanging by his belt. He looks eager for a fight. His vest proudly displays two badges.

Across the deck you see a a boy and girl about your age on a date looking. Both of them have Pokeballs at their belts as well. Maybe you can get a double battle going, or goad one of them into trying to impress the other.

A skinny man with nice suit and and a fluffy white dog Pokemon on a leash walks passes you. Maybe he'd want to fight? He looks rich and pampered.

Everybody else seems to be busy otherwise. Perhaps if we can draw a crowd we will have a little better selection

>>29982892
Who says we're not going to do it? We're not stupid. Unlike you.

Why do you hate fiscal security, anon? Did a banker touch you?

Actually, before battling, let's ask if there's a pokecenter on the trip

>>29982826
Double battle the couple!
Vance can see if that kid is willing to teach him something.

>>29982885

Seconded, because fuck >>29982977

>>29982931
NO! MAX REPELS! ZUBATS ARE ON THE RISE, AND MOST TRAINERS HATE THEM!

>>29982972
How about the Pokeball factories?

>>29983030
Why not design a new kind of Pokeball? Like... something whose capture power goes up the more broke-ass you are?

Oooh! Or a Junior Pokemon Training League!

>>29983030
If the poketrainer bubble burst, you guys will be properly FUCKED.

Let's just hold on to that money for when we are ready to settle in and kickstart a small business or go full time investor.

>>29983082
No.

>>29982931
>>29983020

Why not both? we could also fund a project to drastically increase the rate at which Zubats reproduce... that way we can indirectly encourage the purchasing, and replenishing of our products thusly increasing our profit margin....

also, are we about to found our own gang with this capital?

>>29983092
You're outvoted. Fuck off.

>>29983061

Still, no. There's already a repel out there, and we'd be idiots to try to but in on a market that's already set. This isn't like the game where you can't just choose not to battle it and walk away anyways

"Vance, do you still have that pamphlet?"

Vance does the macarana over his pockets until he finds it. "Got it here. Why?"

Before you battle you want to check something. "Is there a Pokemon Center or something on board?"

He scans over it. "Well...let's see..." his fingers trace over the large list of amenities. "Here go we. They have a small one. It's basically just a station you drop your Pokemon off in, so there isn't a PC or anything, but they'll heal your Pokemon."

Perfect! You straighten your outfit and walk over to the battling area.

"Hey!" The kid says, eying the Pokeballs on your belt. Since you've been wearing your new clothes, you've noticed that people's eyes either venture there or your eyes, instead of elsewhere. "Are you a trainer?"

You've got six Pokemon, a badge, and you're on your way to to another gym. "Sure am," you say with a grin.

"Let's battle! Come on! How about it!" He really is eager. "How about a singles battle with two Pokemon each?"

You see he has four Pokeballs at his belt

Keep it friendly, we don't need the money right now. It's all for practice.

>>29983280

small flat bet. this is mainly for training purposes. don't want to loose too much money or take most of the other chaps... we have plenty, but want it to stay that way... possibly suggest we are skint at the moment...

maybe suggest choosing our two pokemon blind, so neither of us have an advantage over choosing our second poke for the battle...

>>29983280
>Sure [small, flat bet]
we neither need money nor need to take it from people, why should we risk too much?

Lets hang onto our winnings long enough to spend them. If other people challenge us, make a small bet. If they don't like it, THEY challenged US, not the other way around.

>>29983280
>>Sure [small, flat bet]
