"I don't get it James…" Lyra stood with her hands on her hips. The looming walls of Sprout Tower raised up around her and her Croconaw. Other than the Sage Nico, who now had left by now, the room was virtually empty.
"Craw?" James looked up at Lyra with a confused expression.
"Well I was hoping to find a Rattata or a Bellsprout, but I was only able to find Aaron." Lyra tapped her fingers on one of the four pokeballs that rested on the belt on her hips. "I needed a good grass type…"
"Craw." James tugged on Lyra's leg and pointed to the ladder a few steps away.
"Oh! You're right! We should keep moving. Maybe we will find something later on!" Lyra ran toward the ladder and climbed down it, continuing further into the sage-created maze.
Then a growl echoed out through the room she was entering. "A growl?" Lyra held out her arms. James jumped from the hole in the second floor down into her arms. "Nothing growls in Sprout Tower." Lyra looked at James.
An orange blur rushed past the two of them. James leapt from Lyra's arms, preparing to battle.
Lyra looked over and saw a Growlithe scratching frantically at a wall, trying to find a way out.
"What's a Growlithe doing in Sprout Tower? That would explain the lack of Bellsprout, huh James?"
James looked up at Lyra and nodded. "Craw!"
Lyra took out her pokedex and pointed it at the Growlithe. A quite beeping sound rung out as it programmed the pokemon in front of it. "Growlithe," it said in a computerized voice "The puppy pokemon. Type: Fire. Growlithe has a brave and trustworthy nature. It fearlessly stands up to bigger and stronger foes."
"Great!" Lyra said happily, pumping her fist in the air "I needed a good fire pokemon!" She checked her purse, looking to see if she had enough pokeballs. "Ten. That should work." She slung her purse back over her shoulder. "Okay! Go James! Lets catch this Growlithe!"
"Craw!" James ran forward.
