As Summer was trapped in Pokémon Tower, she saved her rival Weldon from his possession by a pair of Gastly. Meanwhile, Team Rocket spied on something from the comfort of the tower and the protection of a mysterious Pokémon. The GTS decided to bring Summer to help with their investigation. While inside, Summer encountered more evil spirits, which caused her to lose focus because of her past experience*. Who will save her, and will she and that person be able to free the spirits from Team Rocket's grasp?

Chapter 30: The Belle of the Spirits

As I was losing hope, I heard a familiar voice shout, "Growlithe, use Bite!"

The Growlithe jumped forward, unafraid of his foes, and bit them. The ghosts, shocked by the super effective attack, disappeared. As I gathered my thoughts and woke up Errol, I saw the Growlithe was wearing a pair of what looked like gray night vision goggles.

Weldon ran up to us and asked, "Summer, are you okay?"

"Yeah," I slowly responded, smiling. "Thanks, Weldon."

He looked away and angrily replied, "I'm just repaying my debt, that's all."

"Right...anyway…" I said, changing the subject. "How are you feeling?"

He slowly rubbed his head. "Still a little woozy, but I'm fine."

I became concerned. Recovering from a possession usually took a couple of days. "Shouldn't you get some more rest?"

He paused. "I-I can't...I need to stop them…"

"Stop who?"

He retorted, "It doesn't concern you, Summer. Besides, you apparently can't handle what's going on. Go back to the Pokémon Center."

"No, I can," I firmly protested. "You shouldn't jump to conclusions based on your initial view."

"Ooh...she got you there, master," Growlithe said with a smirk.

Weldon relented, "Fine, Summer. Let's go together."

I was surprised by his suggestion. "You actually want to team up with me?"

He crossed his arms and shouted, "Not on purpose! I just feel we'll protect each other better if we're in a group."

"All right. My friends left behind this camera, so I was going to see if it recorded anything."

"Okay, I'll see if there's a way to break open these gates."

As Weldon and Growlithe looked at the headstones, I took the camera off the tripod and saw it was still recording. I pressed the record button, opened the screen, and rewound the footage. I noticed it started filming an hour and a half ago, so I hoped it would at least show something. When the camera finished rewinding, I played the recording.

All right, camcorder's set. Danny said, making the camera move back and forth.

Clark nodded. Let's get started. He then greeted the headstones. Spirits, my name is Clark, and this is Danny and Bobby. We want to help you stop whoever is responsible for causing you fear. Please give us a sign if you can hear us.

They then walked around the room as their Pokémon tried to sense anything. After half an hour, I was shocked to see a purple shadow descending from the third floor and crawling over the headstones.

Did you guys feel that? Bobby asked. Someone's in here.

Yeah, it got really cold all of a sudden. Danny added. Cocoa lightly growled.

Whatever it is, it seems Cocoa thinks it's negative. Clark said. Whaley scanned the room with his glowing pink eyes.

Suddenly, EMF started spinning around. Guys...there's a strong electromagnetic frequency here… Bobby said nervously.

The same black shadows I saw earlier emerged from their graves and inched closer to the squad. Their Pokémon tried to defend their Trainers, but quickly fell asleep from the combined Hypnosis attack. Although the men resisted, they also succumbed to the hypnotic rings and collapsed in sleep. The purple shadow that orchestrated this event pointed upwards, and the other shadows complied. They carried the GTS and their Pokémon upstairs until they were out of sight.

The leader then saw the camcorder and slowly approached. It then stuck out its pink tongue and cackled, just like the one I heard in my dream. After that, it floated upstairs and the black shadows went back into their graves and appeared to guard the room for other intruders. The footage then played what happened to me earlier. I stopped it and forwarded it, not wanting to relive that again.

Once it got to the end, I placed the camera back on the tripod and pressed the record button. I then saw Weldon stomping towards me.

"Based on your footsteps, I guess you couldn't find anything," I commented.

Weldon was about to retort when Doduo appeared. Weldon jumped back in fright but regained his composure.

"I know who can help," he chirped, walking through some headstones.

We followed him to a headstone with a carving of a large rat Pokémon with big teeth and whiskers. I was about to read the epitaph when a mist emerged from the stone. Errol used Foresight and revealed the spirit.

My Pokédex said [Raticate, the Mouse Pokémon and the evolved form of Rattata. A Raticate's sturdy fangs grow steadily. To keep them ground down, it gnaws on rocks and logs. It may even chew on the wall of houses.]

"Hey, Raticate," Doduo politely asked. "Can you cut the gates?"

"Sure thing," he quickly mumbled.

He floated to each of the gates and broke them open with his strong teeth. After thanking him, the Pokémon returned to his slumber. Without hesitation, the five of us headed to the third floor. Luckily, this floor felt peaceful, but Errol and Growlithe remained cautious and scanned the room.

As we walked through this maze, I asked Weldon, "How did you get in here the first time, Weldon? I heard the tower was locked before."

Weldon turned pale and softly replied, "I think whoever's behind this lured me in here."

"What do you mean?"

He scoffed. "I don't know why you want to know. You won't understand."

Curious, I hinted, "I might…"

"Fine…" He pointed to the goggles on his head. "I got this in Celadon City. It's called a Silph Scope, and it allows the user and a Pokémon to see spirits of deceased Pokémon. That's why I decided to go to Lavender Town to train.

As you may have heard, I went into the fog to help find the source. I couldn't explain it, but I ended up in front of Pokémon Tower. I touched the door handles, and the doors opened easily. I felt that I should've told someone, but I thought I could handle it on my own.

I climbed the first five floors, no problem. But when I got to the sixth floor, things drastically changed. I was attacked by a purple shadow who moved so fast the Silph Scope couldn't identify him. That was the last thing I remembered until you showed up."

I thought about his story and said, "Well, you were possessed, so it makes sense you don't remember that much. But I'm glad you're fine."

He then quickly looked at the walls. I thought he was a little hot from the walking since his cheeks turned red.

We finally navigated our way to the fourth floor stairs. Doduo immediately shivered.

"C-can I stay down here?" he timidly whimpered.

"Sure," I said. "Maybe you can see if other spirits can help."

Doduo nodded and dissipated. Errol and Growlithe led the way upstairs, and we cautiously followed them.

The fog unfortunately returned, but it was thicker than usual.

"Watch out," Errol hooted. "I see the figures in the fog."

The figures slowly came into view, revealing themselves to be the GTS. At first, I was relieved, until I saw the blank eyes and sinister smiles.

No! Not again!

"Quick, Errol! Use Foresight!"

As Errol tried to scan them, Whaley grabbed him and pinned him down. This broke his concentration, and he struggled to break free.

"Growlithe, use Take Down!"

The Puppy Pokémon charged at Whaley and knocked him off Errol. This allowed the Owl Pokémon to fly up and use Foresight on everyone. As I expected, six Ghastly appeared and angrily floated towards us. I was about to take the Soothe Bell out of my pocket when a female voice yelled, "That's enough!"

The sounds of a staff pounding on the ground and a chiming melody echoed in the room. The GTS and their Pokémon then collapsed to the floor. The Gastly immediately became calm and floated downstairs.

"Hopefully that's the last possession tonight," the female voice said. Her voice sounded mystical and calming when she wasn't angry.

As she walked closer to us, Doduo reappeared. "Madame Leota," he reverently spoke and bowed to the approaching woman. She wore a white long dress and hood. Her long, wavy raven-black hair lightly draped over her right shoulder and she carried a golden staff with an amethyst crystal at the top. A Soothe Bell was attached to her golden necklace, lightly jingling as she walked. Her Pokémon, which looked like a ghost with a head and a big red necklace.

[Misdreavus, the Screech Pokémon. A Misdreavus frightens people with a creepy, sobbing cry. It apparently uses its red spheres to absorb to fear of foes as its nutrition.]

Weldon and I bowed as well, our Pokémon following suit. Madame Leota smiled calmly at us.

"So you are the children that are causing that accursed team such grief," she said. "I thank you for that."

"Accursed team?" I asked. "You don't mean-"

"Team Rocket?" Weldon interrupted.

The wise woman's smile disappeared. "I'm afraid they have violated Master Sei's tomb by controlling Shin."

"That would explain that purple shadow…" I surmised. "But what about my friends?"

We looked at the GTS, who were being carried by six women in white robes.

"I wouldn't worry so much, Summer," Madame Leota reassured. My members will take care of them."

"How did you know my name, Madame Leota?"

She lightly giggled. "I know all those who can speak to spirits. After all, I am the leader of the Channelers Chapter on the Kanto Region."

"You mean the organization that assists in caring for cemeteries and other resting places around the world?"

"That's right. That was how I heard about you from the leader that works on Mt. Pyre."

I immediately became quiet, and Weldon seemed to notice.

"Don't feel bad, Summer. You just need to remember what's important in order to break their control."

I nodded and Errol comforted me.

"Now then. You two should rest up before heading to the upper floors. Please follow me. Charlotte, can you prepare our guests a quick meal?"

Her Misdreavus nodded and floated through the ceiling. Madame Leota led us upstairs. Her members were in a corner of the room healing Clark, Danny, Bobby, and their Pokémon with medicinal herbs. Charlotte then led us to a mystical yellow square, where once we stepped on it, I felt instantly rejuvenated.

"Here, children," Charlotte said cheerfully presenting us with a plate of food. "Have some Berries and vegetables."

I took the plate from her and replied, "Thank you Charlotte." I then sat down and placed it on the square. Errol joined me and I gave him some Oran Berries. Charlotte then gave us some cups of water. As I ate and drank, the food tasted much better than it normally would. I guess all the fear really worked up an appetite.

"So this is what an all-nighter feels like." I looked up and saw Weldon reluctant to join us. Growlithe stared hungrily at the snacks but restrained himself.

"Come on, Weldon," I called. "You too, Growlithe."

The Fire type gave a pleading look to his master. Weldon sighed and sat down with us. Errol shared some Berries with Growlithe and they had some small talk.

"So, Summer…Why did I find you frozen like that earlier?" Weldon asked bluntly.

"I-it has something to do with my past," I anxiously said, slightly turning red. "Don't worry about that."

Weldon firmly shook his head. "Don't try to hide it, Summer. I...I…"

"You…what?"

"I...I just want to make sure you don't slow me down, that's why!"

I sighed. "If you put it that way, Weldon...I guess I'll give you the short reason why."

I paused and tried to speak, but no words came out. Weldon impatiently waited but he didn't say anything forceful.

"I...I was hypnotized by two Pokémon when I was younger. Their Trainer was a girl...a girl who was not part of the living… S-she tried to k-kill me…"

I couldn't say anymore and started to cry. Errol tried to comfort to me by giving me a hug.

I thought Weldon would laugh at my sorrowful state, but he solemnly replied, "I see...I'm sorry you had to go through that… I can see why you're doing this. I guess he was right…"

"W-who was?"

"My uncle. He told me about a girl who had to face her fears in order to help others. Based on your actions today, I assumed that girl was you."

I was shocked. "Your uncle? You don't mean…"

Weldon looked at his red Pokégear. "We should get going."

He got up and Growlithe followed him.

So he's Al's nephew. I wonder what he's been through to cause him to hate the Hoenn Region…

I got up as well and Errol flew next to me.

"Are you sure you want to continue, Ms. Summer?" he worriedly asked.

I nodded, wiping away tears. "I'll be fine. I'm counting on you to help me, Errol."

"Of course, Ms. Summer."

Madame Leota saw us moving and walked towards us. She asked, "Are you two ready to continue?"

Weldon and I nodded.

"Very well. I give you my blessing of protection. Doduo will stay here until it is safe to go upstairs. Feel free to continue whenever you're ready."

Clark then walked towards us. "Good luck, Summer and Weldon," he said. "Danny, Bobby and I will help the Channelers make sure the spirits are safe. Be careful."

"We will," we said in unison. Madame Leota showed us the staircase, and we climbed up to the sixth floor.

Once we touched the sixth floor, the room immediately felt cold and was surrounded by a deep purple fog.

"It seems that purple shadow's here," Weldon cautioned, putting on his Silph Scope. "We need to be careful."

"Got it," I acknowledged.

Suddenly, my Soothe Bell levitated out of my backpack and floated towards the next flight of stairs.

"Errol, use Foresight!" I commanded.

Errol nodded and scanned the Soothe Bell. Instead of a Ghastly, a Gengar materialized and snickered. He made a scary face, scaring me and Errol.

"Isn't that…?" I took out my Pokédex. [Gengar, the Shadow Pokémon and the final evolution of Gastly. Deep in the night, your shadow cast by a streetlight may suddenly overtake you. It is actually a Gengar running past you, pretending to be your shadow.]

"Growlithe, Bite!" Weldon commanded.

Growlithe ran towards the Gengar and opened his mouth. The Shadow Pokémon snickered and stuck out his blood-red tongue. He licked the Fire type and pushed him back.

After Growlithe shook off the slobber, Weldon shouted, "Use Ember!"

"Wait!" I shouted. Growlithe immediately stopped launching the attack.

"What for, Summer?!" Weldon shouted, angry that I interrupted his attack.

"That Gengar… It's Shin, the original caretaker's Pokémon!"

"You mean the Pokémon guardian of the Tower's been attacking people?! But why?"

I carefully looked at Shin's eyes. Although it was difficult to tell, the pupils in his eyes were slightly tinged red.

"He's being controlled by Team Rocket!" I shouted.

"You mean with a mind control device? How?"

"We can worry about that later. We need to defeat him."

"Right," Weldon nodded. "Cover for me, Summer. Growlithe, use Bite!"

Growlithe nodded and jumped towards the Ghost type. Shin rolled his eyes and stuck his tongue out.

I smiled. "Errol, grab Shin's tongue!"

Errol muttered some choice words but he flew up and got a hold of the slobbery tongue. This gave Growlithe a chance to bite Shin on his right arm. Shin winced in pain, but he was able to shake Growlithe and Errol off. A dark ball of energy formed from Shin's hands.

"Look out!" Weldon warned. "That's Shadow Ball!"

Although Errol was able to fly over the ball, Growlithe was hit and fell over. Weldon gritted his teeth and recalled his Pokémon. Shin snickered again and used his psychic power on our Pokéballs. Weldon tried to take one of his off his belt, but it wouldn't detach.

"I can't use any other Pokémon. Sorry, Summer. You're going to battle on your own."

"Not without my help," a deep female voice echoed.

Weldon and I were surprised and scanned the room. A Pokémon with a skull head and a large bone materialized in front of us.

I took out my Pokédex once more. [Marowak, the Bone Keeper Pokémon and the final evolution of Cubone. A Marowak is the evolved form of a Cubone that has grown tough by overcoming the grief of losing its mother. Its tempered and hardened spirit is not easily broken.]

It's the Marowak spirit that protects the Tower!

"This is not you, Shin," she said, her focus unwavering. "Snap out of it!"

Shin shook his head and threw another Shadow Ball at us. Marowak threw her ghostly bone at it, causing the ball to break apart. She then threw herself head first at Shin, knocking him into the floor. Shin rubbed his head but floated back up. His eyes then glowed blue, giving him the power to push Marowak down telepathically. Marowak struggled to break free, but was under the mercy of the Gengar.

"Let's help Marowak, Errol. Use Hypnosis!"

Errol nodded and made the purple rings. Shin noticed this and formed purple rings as well. Although the rings initially collided, Shin's pushed Errol's back and hit the Owl Pokémon.

"E-Errol?" I apprehensively asked. "Are you okay?"

Errol slowly looked at me, showing me his blank eyes. I gasped and walked backwards. I tripped on a small headstone and would have fallen backwards if Weldon didn't catch me.

"Don't do this now, Summer!" he said encouragingly.

I recovered and said, "Thanks, Weldon." I then turned to my possessed Pokémon and slowly approached him. "Errol, don't you remember me?"

Errol slowly blinked but was still under Shin's control. Shin pointed at me, and my Pokémon charged at me, beak extended.

I braced myself for the impact, knowing I had no time to dodge. I caught Errol in my arms and felt a slight stab in my chest. Thankfully, the attack wasn't as powerful as I thought.

As Errol struggled to break free from my arms, I clutched him tightly and whispered, "Errol, please. Remember the first time we met in Johto? You attacked us because you wanted to become part of a Trainer's journey?"

Errol briefly stopped struggling, but Shin forced him to continue.

"You're a strong Pokémon, no matter what anyone says. I know you can fight this. You can do it, Errol!"

Errol clutched his head and I let him go. Shin tried to regain control, but Errol resisted. In a shriek of defiance, Errol became surrounded in a glowing white light.

"Is Errol evolving?" Weldon asked. I just stared at my first captured Pokémon's determination.

When the light faded, Errol was taller and had larger wings. His brows became larger and brown, and his eyes more focused on his surroundings.

"You did it Errol!" I cheered.

Errol nodded, and I was relieved he wasn't hypnotized anymore. [Noctowl, the Owl Pokémon and the final evolution of Hoothoot. It unfailingly catches prey in darkness. Noctowl owe their success to superior vision that allows them to see in minimal light, and to their supple and silent wings.]

Shin growled in anger and released a ball of purple sludge at us.

"Shin's well trained to know Sludge Bomb," Weldon commented.

"Ms. Summer," Errol hooted. His voice was deeper, but he still kept the British accent. "I feel my psychic powers are stronger."

I nodded, smiling at his suggestion. "Then let's see if it works. Use Confusion to throw that Sludge Bomb back!"

Errol nodded, and his eyes glowed magenta. The hurtling Sludge Bomb stopped in mid-air and was thrown back. Shin was hit, but he was able to straighten himself out.

Shin released a set of purple rings, desperate to win.

"Errol, dodge and finish this with Peck!"

Errol flew around the rings and stabbed Shin on the head. Shin deflated, and we heard a loud clicking noise come from upstairs. I then felt my Pokéballs return to their original states.

As Marowak slowly got up, Shin did the same. Errol and I braced ourselves for another attack, but we backed down when the Gengar asked in a raspy voice, "What happened?"

He then looked at us and Marowak. "Lady Marowak, what's going on?"

Marowak replied, "These children saved you from those horrible men."

Shin gasped. "You mean the ones who violated Master Sei's headstone?" He then growled. "Those men will pay!"

"What's going on?!" a man shouted as footsteps came from the seventh floor.

We came face to face with two Team Rocket Grunts.

The green-haired one gave a soft laugh. "Well, well. It seems we meet again, Summer."

"I guess...umm… Who are you again?"

The green-haired man touched the brim of his hat. "Where are my manners? I never introduced myself to you at our first encounter. My name's-"

"-No time for introductions!" the black-haired man shouted. "Especially since that Leland kid's here."

Weldon smiled. "Nice to see you too, Archer."

"How come I can never get my enemies to know my name…" the green-haired man muttered.

"Anyway," Archer said. "You kids won't interfere anymore!"

Archer took out a Pokéball and was about to throw it when Shin telepathically locked it.

"You will no longer disturb the spirits!" Shin bellowed. Using his psychic powers, he lifted up the Grunts and threw them out an open window.

"Not again!" the green-haired man shouted as they flew out of the tower.

"Now that that's over with," Marowak said. "We need to help Mr. Fuji and check Sei's grave."

I returned Errol, and the four of us headed upstairs to a room with well-tended headstones. Weldon saw an elderly man with a white shirt and khaki pants tied up and immediately went towards him. I was about to join Weldon when a large headstone caught my eye. The headstone was made of granite and had inscriptions in English and Japanese. As I read the name, a figure of a man in long robes appeared in front of me. He looked like the man in the portrait downstairs.

The man bowed to me. "Thank you for saving my tower," he said in a soft, respectful time.

I bowed back. "I'm glad to help, Master Sei."

Shin floated to his master's spirit. "Master Sei, I'm sorry for causing so much trouble."

Sei smiled at his Gengar. "You don't have to apologize, my friend. You were forced to by that infernal contraption."

I looked at the top of the headstone and carefully removed the damaged mind control device. Shim then crumbled it into a ball and destroyed it with his psychic powers.

Sei looked at me. "Thank you for your help, Summer. I'm sorry if I scared you earlier."

"Wait…was that your hand I felt in the Pokémon Center?"

The spirit nodded. "Madame Leota was preoccupied with Shin's actions, and no one else can see human spirits in Lavender Town. When I felt the presence of two people who can, I left the tower to try and contact them. It seems I got your and Clark's attention."

We then heard cooing behind us. We looked in that direction and saw the man and Doduo happily reuniting. I realized the man was Mr. Fuji, the missing orphanage owner.

"So everything's returned to normal," Madame Leota announced.

Everyone looked at the stairs and saw her and the GTS. Danny and Bobby were filming the rescue and reunion while Clark and Madame Leota walked towards us.

The two bowed to the original caretaker, and he returned the gesture.

"Let me return this to you, Summer," Shin said, giving me my Soothe Bell back.

"Thank you, Shin." The Gengar smiled genuinely, just like his portrait downstairs.

"Now, Summer," Madame Leota said. "Let's make sure all of the spirits are resting peacefully by ringing our Soothe Bells."

I nodded, and the Channeler took hers off her neck. We then rang the bells. The ringing was amplified and echoed throughout the building.

Sei breathed a sigh of relief. "I feel the last of the negativity leaving. The spirits should all be at rest now."

"That's great," Clark said. "Everyone ready to go?"

Weldon and I nodded. Sei and Shin waved goodbye and slowly disappeared. We walked back down to the lobby, where the morning sun appeared once more from the windows. Madame Leota stayed behind and waved goodbye while the GTS, Weldon, Mr. Fuji, and I left the tower.

"That was certainly an eventful investigation," Clark said.

"You said it," Danny replied.

Mr. Fuji looked at us and said, "Thank you for saving me."

Bobby replied, "You should be thanking those kids for saving you."

"Indeed." The elderly man looked at us. "Please take these as a present."

He handed Weldon and me cards with a Pokéball-decorated flute. "These are download cards for the Pokéflute application on Pokégears. They'll either wake people and Pokémon up or put them to sleep depending on how you play the tune."

We thanked him for the gift, and I made a mental note to add it later.

"Now, I must return to the orphanage. Good luck, you two."

We waved to Mr. Fuji as he went back into town. Clark then led the rest of his team, Weldon, and I back to the Pokémon Center.

Nurse Lilac saw us as we came inside. "Thank goodness you're alright. Chansey, please heal their Pokémon."

Her two Chansey nodded. We placed our Pokéballs in separate trays, and they took them to the healing station.

"Everything should be back to normal," Clark informed her. "Mr. Fuji's safe and has gone back to the orphanage. "

"Thank you so much! I'll visit him later."

"We'll join you," Clark offered. She nodded and went to help some Trainers who just entered. Danny and Bobby then went to their rooms to recharge their cameras.

"Summer, Weldon, thank you for saving us in the tower." Clark gratefully said.

"I'm just glad you guys are okay," I said.

"Why don't we take another picture outside of the tower when Danny and Bobby come back? You can join us this time, Weldon."

"Oh. Umm...sure," he said, unsure about being around us.

When Bobby and Danny returned with their cameras, we walked back to Pokémon Tower and took another picture in front. Danny printed two photos from the base camp and gave us each one.

When I looked at it, I smiled. Sei and Shin seemed to have decided to join us, happily smiling at the camera. I carefully put the picture into my backpack, making sure it stayed flat. We then returned to the Pokémon Center and got our Pokémon back.

"I should get going," I said.

Clark nodded. "Can we exchange Pokégear numbers? I'll let you know when the episode comes out. Who knows? Maybe we'll meet again at another haunted place."

I laughed. "We'll see."

I shook hands with the GTS, and they went into the hallway.

I looked at Weldon and saw he was talking to someone on his Pokégear. When he finished talking, he said, "I need to get going."

"Oh," I said, slightly surprised. "Thank you, Weldon. Let's battle when we meet up again."

He looked at the door and I thought I saw a small smile. "Until next time."

He left the building and headed north. I sighed and got my things ready for the next stretch to Celadon City. I waved goodbye to Nurse Lilac and walked west towards Route 8.
