Chapter 29: Legends in the Burned Tower

"I'm sorry, he still isn't in. Out you go".

Great. More waiting. I just sat by the pond, watching the Poliwag play.

Poliwag

072

Water Type

Tadpole Pokémon

2'00" (0.6 m)

27.3 lbs (12.4 kg)

Because It is inept at walking on its newly grown legs, it always swims around in water.

At that moment, I saw a man walk by. He was dressed in a purple tuxedo, had firm brown hair and a white cape. I saw him walk into the Burned Tower. I was curious. What was he up to? I decided to follow him in.

The Burned Tower has become a nesting home for many Pokémon. It was burned down 150 years ago, plenty of time for it to have company.

I saw the man, looking around. He didn't look like a tourist.

"Spying on people now are we?"

Silver came up behind me. "Clearly you like to be a Peeping Tom. For your information, that is Eusine, the Legendary Pokemon expert."

THAT was Eusine? I had heard of the guy before, but never knew what he looked like.

"Enough distractions. It's time to battle" Silver said.

Silver's first Pokémon was Haunter.

Haunter

059

Ghost/Poison Type

Gas Pokémon

5'03" (1.6 m)

lbs (0.1 kg)

It's tongue is made of gas. If licked, its victim starts shaking constantly until death eventually comes.

Evolved from Gastly at Lv 25.

Geodude was sent out to deal with Haunter. Haunter started off with Mean Look. Haunter gave Geodude a menacing stare. Geodude came back with Magnitude. Magnitude 4. Did just a tiny bit.

Haunter then did something to Geodude, halving its own HP to. Geodude used Magnitude, but it missed. Suddenly, Geodude seemed to be in pain. "This move is Curse" said Silver. "Haunter halves its own HP to lay a Curse on Geodude. Its HP goes down every turn. It can only go away if Geodude is recalled."

Geodude used Magnitude 6 on Haunter knocking Haunter out.

Geodude was still under pain, so I attempted to recall it. It wouldn't return.

"Mean Look prevents switching in. Nice try."

Silver's next Pokémon was Magnemite.

Magnemite

118

Electric/Steel Type

1'00" (0.3 m)

13.2 lbs (6 kg)

It is attracted by electromagnetic waves. It may approach trainers if they are using Pokegear.

Magnemite used Sonic Boom, dealing 20 damage to Geodude. Geodude came back with Magnitude 7, knocking out Magnamite.

The Curse hit Geodude again. Silver sent out Zubat. It used Confuse Ray on Geodude. Geodude hit itself and was then taken out by the Curse.

I sent out Flaaffy. Flaaffy used Thunder Shock on Zubat. It did half damage. Zubat used Bite back, but Flaaffy took it down with one more Thunder Shock.

Finally was Croconaw.

Flaaffy used Thunder Shock on Croconaw. Croconaw felt it. Croconaw used Bite on Flaaffy. It was a Critical Hit, almost knocking out Flaaffy. Flaaffy used Thunder Shock again, with Croconaw using Bite one more time at the end to take out Flaaffy.

I sent out Venonat. Venonat used Confusion which hit just enough for Croconaw to go down.

"That was a great battle". We looked to see Eusine. "Young boy, you are certainly a strong Trainer. You over there, you may need more training."

That got Silver mad. He went to punch Eusine, but I got in his way to stop him. Silver just ran off, still mad.

"What's your name?" Eusine asked. I introduced myself at Ethan Schneider.

"Nice name. Come on, there is something I have to show you."

He showed me a bit of missing floor to reveal three Pokémon. One was yellow with black stripes. One was brown and covered in fur. One was blue and has waving ribbons coming off of it.

"When the fire engulfed this tower 150 years ago, three Pokémon perished. They were the only deaths from this travesty. After the fire was put out by the rain, Ho-Oh raised them as the legendary Pokémon. Raikou, representing the strike of lightning that started the fire."

Raikou

Electric Type

Thunder Pokémon

392.4 lbs (178 kg)

The rain clouds it carries let it fire thunderbolts at will. They say that it descended with lightning.

Legendary Pokémon.

"Entei, the Pokémon that represents the fire that engulfed the Brass Tower."

Volcano Pokémon

Volcanoes erupt when it barks. Unable to restrain its extreme power, it races headlong across the land.

"Finally, my personal favourite. Suicune, which represents the rain that quenched the fire".

Suicune

Water Type

Aurora Pokémon

6'07" (2 m)

412.3 lbs (187 kg)

This divine Pokémon blows around the world, always in search of a pure reservoir.

Legendary Pokémon.

We climbed down to the bottom floor, where Eusine had a Pokeball in hand. "Don't make a noise" he said.

At that point, I leaned on a plank of wood which fell down a hole in the ground. It kept making loud noises as it fell.

Eusine seemed to change. His expression went from that of a kind-hearted to teacher, to someone who almost seemed to hate me.

"Fool of a Togepi" he scolded. "Throw yourself in next time, and rid us of your stupidity".

At that point, the Legendary Beasts ran off. Raikou ran to the east. Entei ran to the west. Suicune just came up to me and stared. I stared back. What was up with it?

"Suicune" said Eusine. Suicune jumped off.

Suddenly, I was pinned to the wall by Eusine. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR? ARE YOU TRYING TO GET SUICUNE TO?"

I told him I had no idea of who Suicune was.

"Cut the lying. You're trying to get a hold of Suicune aren't you. ANSWER!"

Suddenly, a ring of flames came firing our way. Eusine got out of the way, and it barely missed me. It was a Firebreather and his Charmeleon.

Charmeleon

230

Fire Type

Flame Pokémon

3'07" (1.1 m)

41.9 lbs (19 kg)

It has a barbaric nature. In battle, it whips its fiery tail around and slashes away with sharp claws.

Evolved from Charmander at lv 16.

"Eusine! What are you doing?!" said the Firebreather. Eusine sighed. "Sorry about that Ethan. I was just that close from catching it."

"You've never got close in your life. Give up, Suicune only chooses the ones that it believes can train it. Go away, leave the kid alone."

Eusine looked at me. "Our paths will cross again young friend. But keep away from Suicune, its mine."

With that, Eusine left.

The Firebreather took me out of the Burned Tower. "Are you okay?" he asked. I told him I was shook up, but fine. "Eusine always comes here to try and catch Suicune. However, Suicune didn't appear before him, so Suicune didn't choose him."

After he said that, I began to question why Suicune looked at me the way it did back there.

"Hey, if it makes you feel any better, the Gym Leader is back! His name is Morty, he likes Ghost Types."

He was clearly evading my question, but great news! I thanked him and went back to the Pokémon Centre.
