"Speaking of which, what's Lifeistrap up to these days?" Telsa said while tinkering with something on the slot machine.
"Who's that?" Ensten asked, scratching his head.
"…Dude, that's our friend from school! You know, the one who made these awesome outfits for us."
"Ohhh, I forgot! Probably because this fanfic hasn't been updated, so I don't remember a thing."
The two looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"Alright, fine. After we're done messing around with these, we've got to follow through with what NTRslayer said."
"Then hold on a sec, I'm gonna turn this thing into something to help us on our mission! After all, we haven't caught a single Pokémon."
"Why not just admit that no Pokémon has caught your eye?"
"I did find one! It's just that that electric squirrel liked that idiot pig more than me! So annoying!" Telsa grumbled, smacking the machine's insides with a wrench.
"Done!" Telsa crawled out, admiring her handiwork.
…Uhmm.
"It doesn't look any different from before," Ensten said, pointing at the slot machine.
"Hehe, just wait!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out behind them.
"It's them, manager! They've been wrecking slot machines and injuring gamblers!"
"Then grab them! Hurry!"
A group of security guards approached, summoning their Pokémon.
"Heh! Perfect timing for a final test—our lab rats have arrived! Let's do this, Ensten!"
"Call us by our real names, Fuki."
"Alright, scholar Jun!"
Fuki then slammed her wrench into the machine, causing it to suddenly glow.
"What the?!" The manager and guards stared in shock at the sight before them.
The slot machine's parts began to move, sprouting two arms and legs, while other components transformed into sleek armor.
When its head emerged, a large "V" was mounted on top.
"I'm calling it… Mobile Suit: Gundam!"
Huh?? Gundam in Pokémon??
The two climbed into the Gundam, and its eyes lit up.
"Gundam Gambling Zero Absolute Failure! Or just Gundam GZAF! Activate!!"
A jetpack appeared on its back, spewing high-intensity flames.
The manager and guards' jaws practically dropped as the robot took flight, drew a lightsaber, and charged forward.
"D-DON'T LET THAT ROBOT GET INSIDE!!!"
The guards ordered their Pokémon to attack.
"Muda muda!" Fuki, inside the cockpit, pressed some buttons, and guns emerged from the back of Gundam GZAF.
BANG BANG BANG!!
Golden coins shot out at high speed, hitting the Pokémon and causing them to writhe in pain.
"Take this!" Jun controlled the Gundam's arm, swinging the lightsaber in a cross-shaped slash, sending a flying energy wave toward the guards.
"THIS ISN'T A CROSSOVER FANFIC, YOU JERKS! THIS FANFIC'S GONNA GET SLAPPED WITH A COPYRIGHT STRIKE!!!"
BOOOM!!
An explosion rang out as Gundam GZAF stormed deeper into the casino.
"Agh! Goddamnit! This isn't the communication room!" Bob pointed at the screens in front of them. It was an observation room.
"Oh, awesome! Does that mean we're staying here for five nights?" Lukas said while tying up two unconscious guards.
"No, you idiot, but an observation room is still useful. We can figure out where the communication room is. Help me look, Lukas."
"Aight, aight, captain!"
The two started scanning the screens, and one of the cameras caught something that definitely shouldn't be there.
A Gundam zoomed past the camera, breaking it and causing the screen to glitch.
"…Why does that look familiar?" Bob glanced at Lukas, who shook his head, feigning ignorance.
One by one, the cameras were destroyed as the Gundam flew by, making Bob's expression grow grimmer.
"Oh, wow! That robot's totally wrecking our plan! How are we supposed to find the communication room in this massive casino now??"
The Pokémon, meanwhile, stared at the screens with starry eyes—after all, that robot was just too cool.
"Chill out, man. If this doesn't work, we'll try something else. We can head to another room," Lukas said optimistically, though his eyes kept drifting to the robot.
"Ugh! Let's go!"
"Eh, hold on! There's still one screen working!"
"Shut up and go!"
The two opened the door… only to see the robot fighting off more guards.
"Machamp! Stop that robot!"
Machamp flexed its muscles, raising all four arms and charging at the Gundam.
The Gundam stepped back, its eyes glowing as a cannon emerged from its abdomen.
"Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon!!!" Fuki shouted, as energy gathered in the cannon.
The guards and their Pokémon froze in fear at the sight.
PEW!!
A blast of energy shot straight at them, sending the guards and their Pokémon flying.
"Fuki, that move nearly drained Gundam GZAF's energy," Jun warned.
"I know, I know! We need to recharge somewhere…"
Fuki then spotted Bob and Lukas, who were standing there, jaws dropped, and noticed Pachirisu, who was equally shocked.
A portable battery!
"Oi! Cuckmaster! Bob! Get in the cockpit! Hurry!"
"Huh?!" Both snapped out of it, recognizing the voice.
It was Telsa's voice!
"What are you standing there for?! Get in here with your Pokémon, quick!"
Bob and Lukas exchanged a glance and grinned.
The Gundam's hatch opened, letting the two and their Pokémon inside.
Pachirisu, curiously inspecting the robot's interior, was suddenly grabbed by Fuki.
"Battery pack!"
Pachi??
Fuki pressed a button, revealing a wheel, and placed Pachirisu inside it.
"You better run hard! For our sake!" she said with a cheerful grin.
Pachi?? (Why me??)
Seeing Fuki's excitement, Jun realized why she wanted Pachirisu—not just for its appearance, but because it could generate electricity…
The Gundam's eyes lit up again, radiating powerful energy.
"GUNDAM GZAF! 100% FULL POWER!"
It then shot forward at high speed, leaving afterimages in its wake.
