Lost Tower

At the Hearthome City Pokemon Center, Ed, Edd, and Eddy were in their room at a desk looking at their map.

"So where's the next gym, sockhead?" asked Eddy.

"The next gym is in a place called Veilstone City." said Edd. "If we travel east from Hearthome City, we'll travel through Route 209, then head up north until we reach Solaceon Town where we can stop at the Pokemon Center to heal our Pokemon and grab a bite to eat; after that we'll travel north to Route 210, then head east through Route 215 and after that, we'll reach Veilstone City.

"All right then, boy. Let's move out." said Eddy. The Eds grab their backpacks and exit the Pokemon Center. They walk over to where they park their bikes and climb onto them. They ride over to the eastern gate of Hearthome City and they ride through it and they leave for Veilstone City. Minutes later in Route 209, Ed was standing several feet from a trainer who challenged him to a battle.

"Duskull, come out." said Ed, throwing Duskull's pokeball and letting him out.

"Let's go, Bonsly." said the trainer as he threw a pokeball and lets out a brown, round Pokemon. Edd takes out the pokedex and points it at the new Pokemon.

"Bonsly, the Bonsai Pokemon. It prefers arid enviroments. It leaks water from its eyes to adjust its body's fluid levels." said the Pokedex.

"Duskull, use Astonish." said Ed. Duskull flies over to Bonsly and raises it arms and makes a frightening face at Bonsly while shadows appear around its body, frightening Bonsly and damaging it. Bonsly falls down, but it gets back up. Unfortunately, Astonish does not cause Bonsly to flinch.

"Bonsly, Mimic." said Bonsly's trainer. Bonsly leaps at Duskull and makes a frightening face at him, scaring Duskull and damaging him.

"Ed. Mimic can copy the last move an opponent has made, so Bonsly used Astonish also." said Edd. Because Astonish was a ghost type move, it caused super effective damage to Duskull.

"Duskull, use Disable." said Ed. Duskull's eye glowed red and Bonsly was surrounded by a red glow. Bonsly's Mimic was sealed, preventing it from being used until Disable wore off.

"Bonsly, use Rock Throw." said Bonsly's trainer. Bonsly jumped onto the ground, causing rocks to fly out of the ground and towards Duskull.

"Duskull, dodge them." said Ed. Duskull flew around, dodging every rock. "Now use Night Shade." Duskull fired a beam of black and red energy and it hits Bonsly. It flew back and lands on its back, its eyes now swirly.

"Bonsly is unable to battle. The winner is Ed and Duskull." said Edd. Both Ed and the trainer returned their Pokemon to their pokeballs, the trainer gives Ed pokedollars.

"Good battle." said the trainer.

"Yep." replied Ed. The trainer turns and walks away.

"Way to go, lumpy." said Eddy.

"Now that that's done; onward to Solaceon Town." said Edd. The Eds hopped back on their bikes and continued on their journey. On the way, they suddenly notice the ruins of some sort of tower.

"What the heck is that?" asked Eddy. Edd looks through a guide book he got from Hearthome City.

"According to this guide book, it's the ruins of something called the Hallowed Tower. It was a tower that stood here, but time has started to take its toll on it, so it fell apart. There's a rumor that a Pokemon called Spiritomb is sometimes seen in the Grand Underground beneath it, but very few people have ever seen it." said Edd.

"Oh. Well that's not important right now. We still have a long way to go; so let's get going." said Eddy. They continue on their way until they see another tower in the distance. When they got close to it, they walk to the front of it and look at how tall it is.

"It's so tall." said Ed.

"What's this place?" asked Eddy.

"I believe this is the place called the Lost Tower." said Edd.

"What's this place like?" asked Eddy.

"It's basically an indoor graveyard for departed Pokemon." said Edd, creeping Eddy out.

"A graveyard? Th-Th-That's interesting." Eddy said nervously.

"Yes. I believe we should continue on our way. I don't feel comfortable about disturbing the spirits of lost Pokemon" said Edd.

"I figured you didn't believe in ghost, Double-D." said Eddy.

"I used to, but after seeing ghost-type Pokemon, I'm more inclined to believe in them." said Edd.

"Hey. Where's Ed?" asked Eddy. Edd looks around and notices that Ed was missing.

"I don't know, Eddy." said Edd. They both look at the door leading into the Lost Tower. "You don't suppose he went inside."

"Sounds like something ol' lumpy would do." said Eddy.

"We should go in after him." said Edd as he walks into the tower. Eddy gulps and stares at the door, looking a little scared. After a while, Eddy takes a deep breath and enters the tower. Upon entering, he sees Edd staring at some tombstones. "It appears that even Pokemon don't live forever."

"I guess not. Anyway, let's hurry up and find Ed. I'm not really comfortable being around all these graves." whispered Eddy.

"Why are you whispering?" asked Edd.

"Because I don't want to disturb the spirits and make them haunt me." whispered Eddy.

"Oh. Well that's considerate of you not wanting to disturb the Pokemon's eternal rest, Eddy." whispered Edd.

"Sure. Now let's find Ed." whispered Eddy. They both find a flight of stairs leading up and head up to the next floor. As they did, they see some trainers kneeling before some of the tombstones.

"They must be trainers who have lost their Pokemon companions and had them placed here. Best not bother them." said Edd.

"Well I know for certain we won't find that jerk, Devon around here." said Eddy. They continue their search for Ed. A few minutes later, they reach the third floor. Suddenly, they were surrounded by Pokemon that looked like black orbs with eyes and a mouth, coated in a purple mist.

"What are those Pokemon?" asked Edd as he points the pokedex at them.

"Gastly, the Gas Pokemon. It's a Pokemon born from poison gases. It defeats even the largest foes by enveloping them in gases." said the pokedex.

"You don't think Ed's body odor created these guys. Do you, sockhead?" asked Eddy.

"I seriously doubt it, Eddy." said Edd. Suddenly, the Gastlies flew at them.

"Hey! Why are you attacking us?" asked Eddy.

"I don't know. Maybe they're territorial." said Edd. The Gastly unleashed Night Shade attacks at them. Edd and Eddy leaped out of the way to dodge them.

"We have to battle them." said Eddy as he pulls out a pokeball.

"As much as I don't feel right about fighting in a graveyard; it appears we have no choice." said Edd as he pulls out a pokeball as well. "These are ghost-types, but they're also part poison-type. Ground, Psychic, and Dark-type attacks are our best choices to use against them." said Edd.

"Gotcha. Absol, come on out." said Eddy as he releases Absol.

"Ralts, please assist us." said Edd as he releases Ralts. Both Pokemon stand ready for battle. "Let's be careful so we don't cause any damage to the structure or the graves." said Edd.

"Okay. Absol. Use Knock Off." said Eddy. Absol leaps above some Gastlies and uses Knock Off to knock them down to the floor.

"Ralts, use Psybeam." said Edd. Ralts uses Psybeam on some Gastlies that were close together. The Eds' Pokemon battled the Gastlies with all their might, but more Gastlies just kept appearing. The Eds' Pokemon were getting tired and they've taken some damage from the Gastlies.

"They just keep coming. What are we going to do?" asked Eddy. Just then, a few Gastlies appeared behind the Eds and tried to use Night Shade on them. Ralts sees this and jumps behind the Eds to protect them.

"Ralts? What are you doing? You need to rest." said Edd. Ralts shakes his head in response. Edd was stunned by this. "You want to protect us?" Suddenly, Ralts' eyes glow blue and he releases two blue beams of psychic energy which breaks throught the Night Shades and hits the Gastlies, knocking them out.

"What attack was that?" asked Eddy.

"I think Ralts just learned Psychic." said Edd. Ralts turns towards the remaining Gastlies and stares them down. The Gastlies suddenly looked scared and they float through the walls and floors. Edd runs up to Ralts and hugs him. "That was incredible, Ralts. Thank you." Ralts suddenly freezes up and starts glowing brightly.

"Hey, Double-D. Looks like Ralts is evolving." said Eddy. Edd lets go of Ralts and he and Eddy watch as Ralt's shape begins to change. When the glowing stops, they see that Ralts evoled into a taller Pokemon, Ralts head covering has spread apart and gets longer, making it easier to see his eyes. Each of his horns are now on the sides of his head. He looks like he's wearing a white tutu His legs are now longer, and green; and he has two fingers at the end of each of his arms. Edd pulls out the pokedex and points it at his newly-evolved Pokemon.

"Kirlia, the Emotion Pokemon, and the evolved form of Ralts. It is highly perceptive of its trainer's feelings. It dances when it is feeling happy." said the pokedex.

"That is amazing. I'm so proud of you, Ralts...I mean, Kirlia." said Edd as he hugs Kirlia.

"Kirlia." says Kirlia. Edd lets go and sees the damage their Pokemon have taken.

"We should get our Pokemon to a Pokemon Center after we find Ed." said Eddy.

"I can take care of healing them right now. Kirila, use Life Dew." said Edd. Kirlia releases a sprinkle of water from his body and coats him and Absol with it. The Eds watch as the Pokemon's wounds are healed.

"Sweet. That can come in handy when we're on the road and we're far from the nearest Pokemon Center." said Eddy.

"Indeed. Now that that situation is over, let's find Ed." said Edd. They continue climbing until they reached another floor. There, they see Ed and Elekid in front of another Gastly.

"Elekid, use Shock Wave." said Ed. Elekid becomes surrounded by yellow electricity and he fires a beam of electricity out of the prongs on his head and it hits the Gastly, sending it flying and it lands on the ground. It looks at Elekid with a scared look and it flies through a wall.

"Ed, there you are." said Edd as he and Eddy walks over to Ed. Ed turns around to them.

"Hi guys." said Ed.

"You have got to stop running off like that, monobrow." said Eddy.

"Sorry, guys. I just wanted to see what it was like in here." replied Ed.

"All right, Ed. Can we please just leave?" asked Edd.

"I want to see what it's like up top, you guys." said Ed as he turns and runs up another flight of stairs.

"Here we go again, Eddy." said Edd. He runs after Ed.

"Aw, man." said Eddy as he follows Edd. He and Edd climb up the stair and when they reach the top, they see Ed looking at two elderly women. They walk over to them.

"The Lost Tower is where the spirits of departed Pokemon are put to rest." one of the elderly women says to Ed. "Those who enjoyed long lives...those whose times were short. All the departed Pokemon find solace here."

"Okay." replied Ed.

"It is good of you to have visited. Here, take these Technical Machines." said the elderly woman as she gives Ed three Technical Machines.

"Thanks." said Ed.

"Those will teach Pokemon the move, Strength." said the woman. "If you have a Poketch with a hidden move app, you can use it outside of battle. I've forgotten where, but you must visit a Pokemon gym."

"Okay." said Ed. He turns to see Edd and Eddy. "Hey, guys, I got some new Technical Machines."

"Sweet." said Eddy.

"Good work, Ed. I guess it's a good thing we went here." said Edd.

"Yeah, yeah. Can we just leave and go to Solaceon Town? I'm hungry." said Eddy.

"Me too." said Ed. He turns to the elderly women. "It was nice meeting you, ladies."

"Nice to meet you too, young man." said the woman. The Eds turned and began walking down the stairs. Minutes later, they exited the Lost Tower and they began to walk up north where they'll reach Solaceon Town.
