Because it's usually just her and Nurse Joy at the Pokémon Center, there's simply no way to find a third person to play cards with.
And if we're talking about people who are good at playing cards, then Roy, the inventor, is definitely one of them.
So it just so happens that Roy is here today...
Roy wanted to refuse, because he was already quite tired today, having dealt with the Bug Tide, hunted down Hunter X, and helped the Primeape find territory.
However, seeing Chansey's Illuminate and pleading eyes, I felt a sense of guilt if I refused.
"Sigh... okay."
Roy ultimately couldn't overcome his own conscience and agreed to Chansey's request.
Seeing that Roy had agreed, Chansey's chubby pink paws quickly pulled Roy to the lounge downstairs at the Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joy was waiting.
After seeing Chansey pull Roy down, Chansey looked at Roy with a "catching Thief" gaze:
"So you're the one who taught our Chansey how to play cards?"
Roy chuckled and scratched the back of his head as he admitted it.
Nurse Joy didn't mean to blame Roy, nor did she object to Chansey playing cards.
On the contrary, I think it's a great way for Chansey to relax, since as a Pokémon have to work every day, wouldn't you go crazy if you didn't relax?
Now that the three of them are finally together, she and Chansey can finally have a proper card game.
Compared to the last time when one person Pokémon, this time it's two people playing cards with one egg, still following the rules of the previous Landlord.
However, without the previous method of cheating through Mind Communication the Litwick Spirit, Roy's bad luck meant he almost never drew any good cards.
On the contrary, Chansey gets good cards every time. I wonder if it's because Chansey's Serene Grace is triggered?
Even if Roy plays a pair of threes, it will still hit Roy.
After Chansey won another round, it stuck two white slips of Roy Chansey Nurse Joy's foreheads.
"Geely! Geely!"
The series of defeats ignited Roy's competitive spirit. How could Roy, a veteran of the poker world for so many years, be outmatched by a nobody?
Wouldn't people laugh themselves to death if they said that?
"Again!"
Half an hour later
"I give up..."
Roy pushed aside the "curtain" made of white paper strips in front of his face; he still couldn't believe he hadn't won a single game.
Just when Roy finally got a good hand to play, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine. When he turned around, he was met with a big, fat, purple face.
Unbeknownst to them, Agatha's Gengar had appeared behind them, watching them play cards.
Seeing Roy's appearance, Gengar blew a breath, blowing away the white curtain on Roy's face, and then covered its belly with its two chubby hands, laughing at Roy.
Roy then took the opportunity to remove the white paper strip from his face and stick it under Gengar's mouth; the paper strip then turned into a tuft of white whiskers.
Gengar seemed quite pleased with his new look, stroking his white beard and giving Roy and the others a mysterious air.
The old man Gengar's comical appearance made Nurse Joy Gengar burst into laughter; she's a professional... unless she really can't help it.
Without realizing it, she realized that Ghost type Pokémon n't as scary as she had imagined; on the contrary, she found Pokémon quite interesting.
Just like Roy's Drakloak, it kept circling around Beedrill while she and Chansey were treating them, without disturbing them, just watching them with its two eyes, just like Officer Jenny's Arcanine.
Just as they were about to play another round, Nurse Joy's wristband alerted them that someone had arrived at the Pokémon Center.
"It's so late, who else could be here?"
Confused, Nurse Joy went to the front desk and found that the person who came was her good friend Officer Jenny Liya, who was also there to see Roy.
After learning that they were playing cards, Officer Jenny Liya Nurse Joy to the Pokémon Center's lounge. Before even entering, she heard Roy's voice:
"Gengar, why did you bomb me? We're both old farmers!? You traitor!!"
As soon as Officer Jenny Liya entered the lounge, she saw Chansey sticking stickers on Roy and Gengar's faces.
Gengar straightened its body and used its belly to push against Roy. It's just a Pokémon, what did it do wrong?
Roy lost another hand of cards because of Gengar's defection.
"Sister Liya!"
Upon seeing Officer Jenny Liya, Roy stopped drawing cards and greeted her.
"Yes, the Ranger have all been arranged; they're several Pokémon Trainer with decent skills. Also, give me your ID Card."
Her purpose in coming to the Pokémon Center was to distribute a reward to Roy.
Roy essentially saved the entire Lilycove City from the Bug Tide invasion, and the Pokémon League officials certainly won't forget Roy.
The reward remains Trainer Points, which Roy can exchange for whatever he wants at the Pokémon League Treasury.
The 1 million Trainer Points awarded by the Lilycove City government, plus the 500,000 points for capturing Hydreigon, and the 1 million points added by the Jenny Clan after protecting the League Police Bureau, total 2.5 million points.
Roy: Couldn't it be 2.51 million points?
To be honest, Roy doesn't even know how many points he has on his ID Card anymore. Anyway, the Pokémon League points won't be lost or devalued, so he just leaves them there.
After transferring all the points to Roy's ID Card, Officer Jenny Liya's job was done, but she did not leave the Pokémon Center.
Seeing the two Pokémon playing cards and Roy, Officer Jenny Liya and Nurse Joy sat down to observe.
After understanding the rules Chansey, she couldn't resist the urge to try her hand at it and personally replaced Gengar, and Roy for a match.
Roy was completely stunned by the explosion all night. If some of the white paper strips hadn't been transferred to Gengar, he might have actually been covered in white paper strips.
But Chansey had a blast playing cards tonight, and Roy, finding it amusing, named their game "The Egg Cup."
Chansey successfully won the first "Egg Cup" championship.
Of course, Roy didn't have any medals; he just randomly picked up a Flash stone that Steven had dug out of the Meteor Cave.
Then, they took out two white ribbons and made them into the shape of a pendant medal, which they then hung in front of Chansey.
The prize for first place is a jar of Sweet Honey.
The sponsor remains Roy, which is also a reward for Nurse Joy and Chansey Ken's help in rescuing wild Beedrill.
Chansey had no idea about all the intricacies involved; all she knew was that it was a reward she had won. She happily showed Nurse Joy the medal Roy had pinned to her chest and a jar of Sweet Honey.
Seeing her Chansey so happy, Nurse Joy also squinted her eyes and revealed a sweet smile.
Suddenly, an idea popped into her head, and she asked Roy and the others if they could also hold a card-based competition like the "Egg Cup".
"Of course."
Roy didn't care; he just came up with the name for fun, and Nurse Joy and the others could use it as they pleased.
It probably won't cause any big commotion... right?
