It's undeniable that the top three prizes offer imnse allure for any Trainer, especially the Key Stone at the top of the exchange list.
The power of ga Evolution is sothing every strong Trainer dreams of achieving.
Of course, with that kind of appeal, the prices are exorbitant. Exchanging for the Key Stone requires a staggering 1000 gold ga coins. In PokeDollars, that's a cool billion—a sum so high that winning it through gambling is virtually impossible.
Even so, this invaluable Key Stone had already been redeed by so wealthy individual.
Unfortunately for Sato, the Life Orb and Toxic Orb, which he coveted most, had also been exchanged, at costs of 800 and 500 gold ga coins, respectively.
"The top prizes starting at 500 gold coins—clearly, gambling won't get anyone that far. What a rip-off," Sato thought to himself with a sigh, noting the sky-high exchange rates for the top three items.
Even with his exceptional dynamic vision, allowing him to excel at slot machines, earning even 500 gold ga coins would take a few days of dedicated play— and that was assuming the ga hall didn't interfere.
Sato was fully aware that these enticing rewards were rely bait to lure patrons and capitalize on people's greed.
The ga hall used these prizes to draw in the crowd, hoping to make money from players' dreams of winning big with little investnt.
Nevertheless, since these items were listed on the exchange board, the hall must have them available; wealthy Trainers could show up at any mont willing to buy with cash. Failing to deliver would ruin the ga hall's reputation.
Clearly, the value of the third and fourth item was the dividing line in the prize pool, with the price of the fourth item being 250 gold ga coins.
In the end, Sato decided to aim for items he could reasonably acquire in a short ti without drawing too much attention. Luckily, beyond the top three, the other items had relatively "reasonable" prices.
The Miracle Seed, in eighth place and still available, caught his eye—an invaluable item for Trainers like him.
For a Grass-type Pokémon, a Miracle Seed is a treasure. In gas, it enhances Grass-type moves' power, but in the real Pokémon world, its effects likely go far beyond that.
While Sato didn't know exactly how Miracle Seeds worked in real life, he was sure it would benefit his team's key mber, Bellossom.
Even if it only powered up her Grass-type moves, that alone would be worth it, as most of Bellossom's moves were Grass-type.
Additionally, if Bellossom received the Miracle Seed, her Grassy Terrain healing effect might even increase—sothing Sato would consider a worthwhile investnt.
"To find a Pokémon item here that boosts move power and suits Bellossom perfectly? This is too good to pass up," he thought, eying the Miracle Seed on the exchange list.
Upon asking the staff and confirming that no one had redeed it yet, he felt resolute.
The Miracle Seed was also available in Team Rocket's internal exchange system. However, the catch was that it required Elite-level clearance—access, more than cost, was the real barrier.
Now, if Sato could win 25 gold ga coins in this arcade, he could bypass many access restrictions and secure this rare Pokémon item for himself.
(Note: Only one Miracle Seed is available for exchange.)
Wasting no ti, Sato took out 2,000 PokeDollars and exchanged them for 20 copper ga coins, quickly heading into the gaming area to find an unoccupied slot machine.
He had to earn enough ga coins to claim the Miracle Seed before so wealthy Trainer decided to buy it outright.
"Oh my gosh, three sevens again—that's incredible!"
"Right? Her luck is insane. I haven't hit three sevens in a month, and she's gotten it three tis in just ten minutes."
"Oh, when will Lady Luck shine on like that…"
Just as Sato settled at an empty slot machine, a series of exclamations nearby caught his attention.
He turned his head to see a large crowd gathered around another machine, all watching from several ters away, amazed or chuckling at the scene in front of them.
Amid the onlookers, Sato spotted the person at the center—a familiar face he'd recently battled: Alice Sasaki.
She sat in front of the slot machine, her face no longer downcast but glowing with excitent as the machine poured out coins. Her eyes sparkled with satisfaction.
Beside her stood an older man resembling a butler, with neatly combed hair and a well-grood beard. He stood as straight as a lamppost, appearing remarkably fit, and he watched Alice with a fond, albeit slightly exasperated, expression.
Noticing the growing crowd, Alice's face shifted, taking on an aloof, superior look. In a dismissive gesture, she grabbed a handful of ga coins from the slot and scattered them on the ground a short distance away.
Many of the onlookers brightened at this, diving for the scattered coins in a frenzy.
"Hmph, a bunch of peasants, just like stray dogs with no one to care for them."
Alice's face grew even more disdainful as she watched the crowd scrambling for the coins. But then, as if reminded of sothing unpleasant, her expression soured again, and she threw a few more coins into the machine.
In the next mont, the sound of "ka-ching, ka-ching!" rang out, and Alice, perhaps out of frustration, began hamring the unfortunate machine with her little gloved fists.
The poor slot machine, as though to appease her, displayed another triple-seven, causing an overflow of coins to spill out once more.
With a sigh, the elderly butler stepped forward to help gather the coins into a container ant for organizing ga coins, gently advising Alice with a few choice words.
Alice, clearly respectful of the butler, softened her expression, though she seed unconvinced by his words. Shaking her head, she resud her assault on the slot machine.
