Chapter 107 - 107: Long-Awaited Training
Finally, there's the game corner, a massive entertainment center located in the heart of the city.
The game corner is filled with various types of game machines, many involving betting mechanics. Slot machines are the most popular, attracting both ordinary people and trainers with their exciting gameplay.
Emotions run high here, with constant cheers and groans of frustration, making it a lively place.
Originally, this game corner belonged to the largest criminal organization in Goldenrod City, but due to the vast interests and complex relationships involved, it was eventually absorbed by the Pokémon League.
However, Team Rocket is also involved in running this place, though Cain doesn't know the details of how the profits are divided.
Despite being part of the League, the game corner is still mostly managed by members of the city's former criminal organization, although they now answer to the Pokémon League and are officially under the jurisdiction of the Goldenrod City Gym.
Team Rocket maintains a strong presence in the game corner, where a high-ranking member oversees operations. Cain isn't sure of their identity, but he knows that anyone capable of challenging the gym isn't a weak opponent.
The game corner is not just a gaming venue; every token used in the games can be exchanged for items from the game corner's list.
Rumor has it that even rare and powerful Pokémon are available for trade, though no one has ever been known to obtain one.
The exchange rate is straightforward: 100 Pokédollars for a game corner token, and these tokens can be exchanged at any time for Pokédollars. However, few people make this exchange, as items that cannot be bought with Pokédollars are often available in the game corner.
The quality of these items, however, is something each person must evaluate for themselves.
