Chapter 48: Since You’ve Asked So Sincerely
“They found us!”
The suited man froze, heart pounding.
He and his subordinates had tracked the signal to this quiet alley, smugly thinking that their targets had conveniently wandered into an isolated spot.
But the moment they stepped in, they realized the truth: they’d walked into a trap.
These weren’t clueless tourists—they were waiting for them.

After raiding the prize counter and letting Green pick out a few items, Asahi realized something unexpected:
Even after claiming a significant haul, he still had more than half of his tokens left!
“How much did I even win earlier?”
Asahi was baffled. All he remembered was winning over and over again—but he’d lost count of just how many times.
Meanwhile, the game corner staff looked...

“Whoa! Another 777!”
“He’s definitely cheating, right?”
“I hereby dub him the Slot Machine Sage!”
As Asahi once again hit 777, cheers erupted throughout the game corner.
No one could believe it. Even after switching machines, his winning streak remained completely unaffected.
How should they put it? Most of the people playing slot machines here had lost a consid...

“That’s amazing!” Green exclaimed, stunned that Asahi had hit the jackpot on his first try.
Even Asahi stared at the pile of tokens spilling out of the machine, dumbfounded.
Was his luck turning around? Or was this because of his earlier commotion? Could Team Rocket have adjusted the odds, giving him a taste of victory to keep him quiet?
He wasn’t sure.
But there was a simple way...

As Asahi and Green approached the slot machines, the same attendant from earlier rushed over, a wide smile on his face.
“So, you’ve decided to try our slot machines? You won’t regret it! They’re the most exciting games we offer.”
“This month alone, we’ve had two grand prize winners. One of them even exchanged their winnings for a rare Porygon! We have plenty of other rare prizes available, so don’t ...

Asahi and Green stepped into the Celadon Game Corner.
Unlike the sparse and quiet game corner depicted in the games, the real-life version was bustling with activity.
White-collar workers, heavily made-up women, and disheveled, balding middle-aged men all sat in front of slot machines, pulling levers with rapt attention. Their reactions ranged from dejection to elation as the reels stopped spinning.

“I just recruited an informant for the International Police,” Asahi said, skipping any pleasantries.
“An informant?”
Lance was caught off guard. After a brief pause, he blurted out, “There’s still someone willing to join the Kanto Division in its current state?”

Asahi’s face darkened.
Sure, Lance wasn’t wrong, but did he have to phrase it like that? It made...

Green’s tense expression softened when she saw Dragonair still standing.
“So I still lost…” she murmured, a hint of disappointment in her voice. But deep down, she was okay with the result.
After all, if Clefable hadn’t miraculously used Dragon Rush, the match would’ve ended much earlier.

Dragonair landed gracefully beside Asahi, affectionately nuzzling against him. T...

Rain drenched the battlefield, enveloping not only Dragonair’s training area but also nearby arenas.
One adjacent field hosted a heated battle between a Charmeleon and a Magmar.
Just as their fiery attacks clashed, the sudden downpour extinguished their flames, forcing an abrupt end to their match.
While a few trainers sought shelter, most were drawn to the spectacle of Dragonair’s power, increasing the crow...

The Thunder Wave from Copycat had only been a distraction to mislead Asahi, while Green’s real goal was to give Jigglypuff enough time to use Sing.
By now, the intense battle between Asahi and Green had drawn a crowd of Rainbow University students to the arena.
While Jigglypuff wasn’t uncommon, seeing a Dratini was a rare treat.
For many trainers in Kanto, catching a Dratini was nothing short of a dream.

Asahi and Green made their way to Rainbow University’s battle arena.
Even though it was evening, the arena was bustling with students engaged in battles.
One particular match caught Asahi’s eye.
“Nidorino, use Sucker Punch!” At the trainer’s command, Nidorino lunged forward with force.
“Now, Gengar!” Instead of dodging, Gengar took the hit head-on and retaliated with a Shadow Ball ...

Trust went both ways.
Since Green had shared everything, Asahi no longer felt the need to hide his identity.
He pulled out his identification and handed it to her.
Green opened it and read aloud, “International Police… Kanto Division, Inspector—Asahi?”

She had never imagined that Asahi was part of the International Police!

She then paid for her own room.
