"Fine," Scy said, as he watched Shock head over to a slot machine and insert a coin. Scy then turned and walked the other way. Shock pulled down the lever. The symbols started spining. Shock pulled down the lever once. The first row of symbols stopped spinning. On top, Shock had got a Poliwhirl. The second symbol under the Poliwhirl was a Pikachu. Under the Pikachu picture was a Moltres. Shock pulled the lever again. The second row of pokemon stopped. This time, Shock got a Raichu, a Zapdos, and an Onix. 'I just have to get a Articuno in the top and then I win!' Shock thought to himself as he pulled the lever a third time. The last row of symbols slowely came to a stop. Shock got a Pikachu on top, a Zapdos second, and a Ponyta third. "Shoot!" Shock cried aloud, "Just missed it." He inserted another coin into the machine. Shock then pushed the button to start the symbols spinning. Shock got an Eevee, a Flareon, and an Abra in the first column; a Psyduck, a Kadabra, and a Growlithe in the second column; an Alakazam was on the top of the third column. Three coins popped out. "That sucks," Shock said, disgusted. He decided to move to a different machine. Shock got up and headed over to another machine. This was a different kind of slot machine. In this one, the gym badges and name of a town had to match up. There were two columns in this one. Shock pushed the button to start the two columns spinning. Shock looked around for a button to stop them, but there was none. "What the fu-" Shock was cut off by the first column stopping. He quickly realized that the columns must stop automatically. First was a rainbow badge. Shock knew which badge that was. He had just gotten the rainbow badge from Erika before he came into the game corner, so he was hoping for Celedon. When the second column stopped, it was on Celedon. Money started to pour out of the machine. Shock grabbea nearby bucket to put all the coins in. After looking at the coins, Shock realized that they could only be used in the game corner. "That's crap," He said to himself. He then got up and left the game corner, and headed to the coin exchange next door to claim a prize. Once Shock entered the coin exchange, he was amazed at the sheer glamor of the place. He was almost blinded by the shining lights. Shock walked over to the counter, and asked what prizes were avalible. "How many coins do you have?" The man asked. "Uh, i have 735 coins," Shock said, handing over the coins. The man quickly counted the coins. "You are right, you do have 735 coins. The prizes you can get are a Clefairy or an Abra." "Uh, i'll take a Clefairy," Shock said, knowing how rare they were. "Here you are," The man said, handing Shock a pokeball with a Clefairy inside. "Thanks!" Shock said, as he headed out of the door. It was just about time to meet Scy in the Game corner. Shock entered the game corner, holding his two pokeballs. "Hi, Scy!" Shock said proudly, "I just won a Clefairy!"
