Chapter 10: Battle in Sprout Tower
Silver was still upset about his loss at the gym. He wondered if he were truly strong
enough to face Falkner again. After healing up at the Pokemon Center, Silver headed up
north to Sprout Tower. It was night time and the stars shone brightly in the night sky.
"I wonder where this Sprout Tower is", Silver said to himself. Silver kept on walking
until he finally saw a 3 story tower standing out from the other buildings. This
building was the Sprout Tower. Silver felt determined that he would raise his Pokemon
to be tough enough to beat Falkner. Silver stepped into the tower. A young girl ran up
to him.
"I think the elder may be in trouble!", said the girl.
"The elder?", asked Silver. An old man nearby heard this and ran up to him with an angry
face.
"Show some respect, boy!", he yelled, "The elder is the master at the top of the Sprout
Tower, he will give you an HM for defeating him".
"But a young, red haired kid demanded to see the elder", said the girl, "That was half an
hour ago, He hasn't been down here since". Silver looked at them in shock. The red haired
boy was Gold. He had stolen Prof. Elm's Totodile and could try to steal the elder's Pokemon
too! Silver had to act fast.
"I need to go up there and help the elder!", Silver cried.
"Oh no you don't", said the old man," not without battling me first".
"But I know that kid, the elder could be in serious trouble if I don't help him!", Silver
cried. The old man and the girl looked at each other, and then the old man spoke.
"I will let you up only if you prove you are truly worthy of seeing the elder", the old
man said. Silver agreed and prepared for battle.
"Bellsprout, go!", the old man yelled, throwing his pokeball. Bellsprout came out.
"Bellsprout", it cried. Silver took his pokeball out, he knew just who to use. Silver threw
his pokeball and Metapod came out. Silver checked his pokedex and saw Bellsprout was at
level 7. Silver knew this would be a tough battle.
"Bellsprout, use Vine Whip", the old man commanded. Bellsprout shot a vine from it's body.
"Metapod, harden!", Silver yelled. Metapod began to shine. The vine hit Metapod with a loud
smack. Bellsprout looked hurt, but Metapod was unnaffected.
"Bellsprout, Razor Leaf!", yelled the old man. Bellsprout shot out leaves, but it was no
match for Metapod's hard body.
"Tackle, Metapod!", yelled Silver. Metapod tackled the Bellsprout head on. Bellsprout was
out.
"We did it!", yelled Silver. All of a sudden, Metapod cracked open and a white light
shone out.
"Metapod, you're evolving!", Silver said. A butterfly came out.
"Freeeh!", it said. Silver checked his pokedex and saw it was a Butterfree, and that it
had learned Confusion. The old man congratulated him.
"You are an excellent trainer, I could never have seen such a healthier pokemon", the old
man said, "go on and help the elder!". Silver climbed up a long flight of stairs.
"i know I am strong enough for Falkner", Silver said to himself, "I am ready". He got up
to the third floor and saw Gold with another old man. Silver knew it was the elder.
"Stay away from him!", Silver yelled out to Gold. Gold turned around, and Silver saw he
and the elder were in the middle of a battle.
