Day 6: Climbing The Tower

Pokemon Storm Silver Nuzlocke Challenge!

After training for a full day, the team decides that its time to move on to our first big challenge of our journey: The Sprout Tower. This spot is a place of training and meditation that is rumored to be held up by a 100 foot tall Bellsprout. Aim for the stars, Victor!

The tower sways back and forth, but lots of Pokemon and people inhabit the structure. Our capture for this area is close. Then out of the shadows...

A Rattata. Although a common Pokemon, trainers like Marriland have proved that this little runt can grow into a powerhouse. Do you want to come with us?

He was a little reluctant, but with some convincing from Quince, Felix joins the family!

This little guy will probably not be joining our immediate team, but he will spend some time with Professor Elm in case we need some backup on our journey. I am thinking some target training will be in order considering your ability.

 Very attentive. A good quality for you. Let's call Mom to make sure she can pick you up from Professor Elm.

That's OK Mom. I'll pick that up later.

 

After dropping Felix off at the Pokemon Center, the team forges their way through the tower, picking up useful items and experience along the way. We got out of a few tough spots. We will probably need another day of training after this before we take on Falkner at the Violet City Gym.

Another close call. Winnona is a tough cookie. A Potion or two will fix her right up.

 Uh oh. Ian. I didn't know he was here. I guess I should have known when he headed into Cherrygrove City after our battle.

I mean, I could have told him that. He let his Chikorita get absolutely wrecked by Blake.

 What a jerk. He would probably laugh at me if he knew I was training up Hancock.

 And gone before I could even battle him. Oh well. The Elder handed him something before he left. I wonder if I will get a prize if I win.

 A long battle, but we manage to make it out with some pretty kick butt moves. Blake and Axel probably get the MVP award with Bite, but Winnona's Ember is a close second.

 Well, I suppose that if I had to choose, I would want a Glaceon. But I would have to travel all the way to the Sinnoh region to train with him near Snowpoint City.

 What?! A piece of ore from the Ice Rock?! Thank you so much! I promise I will do my best!

 Back at the Pokemon Center, I take the ore out of my bag. It's so cold I had to hold it in my hat.

"Axel, do you want to be a Glaceon?"

Axel! He took the ore out of my hat with such assurance and joy that I knew this was what he wanted. He proceeded to aim some Icy Wind my way to dispel some of the excess energy from evolving. Falkner better watch out.

 This is a new ability for a Glaceon! This will definately help all of his Ice type moves and maybe he will start to act serene.

Odd. I thought you had a Quiet nature. Hah. Alright guys. Time to rest for the day. Tomorrow we train for the Violet City Gym.
