Rayn kneels down and pets Flora as he picks up the Pokeball, "You did an awesome job Flora. How about this, we'll visit the Pokemon Center and see if they have anything neat to say, then we can visit Sprout Tower and see what's there."
(IE, I can't remember what's at Sprout tower ^^; ))

((Seriously?))
Well, FF thru pokecenter healage and off to sprout tower. In the entrance is a group of monks, all wearing serious expressions. The floor and walls are all wood, and in the center is a large swaying pillar. It looks very unruly, especially as you see stairs leading up...

(Seriously...It's been a while and my pokemon Crystal book is at home)
He blinks as he looks around the tower. This was a bit creepy, but still, he wanted to see what was on the top of the towerm expecially with it being so...unbalanced yet it was a pretty old building. With that, he heads for the stairs.

As you step onto the next floor, you instantly feel it slide under your foot. It seems that the floor is tilting back and forth very, very slightly.... but from the looks of it as you go higher the tilting gets worse. As you make your way across, you are stopped by a monk, who silently approaches you and startles you when he talks:
"Young one, before you proceed... you must prove your worth. Battle me!"
He then silently draws out a pokeball, revealing a bellsprout. The plant seems to be swaying as well, similiar to the floor.
Hmmm... sprout tower... bellsprout....

Rayn smaks his forhead. He should have expected something like that.
"Ok Flora, you're on for this one too! Let's show them we can make it to the top!"

There is a long pause, as the monk doesn't move at all and his bellsprout continues to sway rhythmicly. It seems they expect you to make the first move...

Pauses a moment and then shrugs.
"Ok then....Flora, you go first! Use your tackle attack!"

Flora nods and gives a powerful leap forward, but just before it makes contact Bellsprout sways to the side, smoothly avoiding imapct. It leaves a vine outstretched however, catching Florra and with a great deal of effort combined with the usibng of her own momentum it swings around and tosses her back. She lands uneasily, sliding back to the exact point from where she attacked.
Bellsprout then leans down a bit, its expression more serious and its stance more aggressive, although still flowing.
"Heh." The monk snorts, "Let's see if you can even hit my bellsprout..."

Rayn gives a low growl, was this guy mocking Flora? Nobody got away with teasing his pokemon.
"Ok Flora...let's see this one more time. This time, aim lower. We need to hit near the roots."

Flora's equally insulted and complies gratiously, charging forward and aiming low. Bellsprout, noticing the trajectory early on due to Flora's blunt and enraged attack, still has difficuklty moving out of the way as it is generally a very immobile pokemon.
Flora is able to get half of it, knocking it off balance. It takes the liberty of following through with a vine whip attack, knocoking bellsprout to the ground.
You have a free moment as it tries to raise itself!

Gives a grin and punches into the air.
"Yes! Ok Flora! Now that it's on the ground, belly flop onto it! We'll teach them for underestimating bulbasaurs!"

What results is not a pleasant squeal from bellsprout. It still looks ready to fight some more as it weakly stands, but its master recalls it;
"I admit defeat. Please, continue forward. Our master awaits you at the top..."

Rayn grins ans calls Flora over to him.
"Good job Flora. I knew you could do it."
He them turns toward the monk and smiles.
"Thank you. See when I'm on my way back down!"
And then dashes up the stairs to see what else awaits in the tower.

As you climb the stories, you are forced to pass over increasingly haphazard floors and... you also can't heelp but feel a chill in the air. After a lot of climbing, you reach the second to top floor- it's swaying is almost ridiculous and certainly brings a pale color to your face. The chilled feeling is stronger than ever, and you feel like you're being watched...

Rayn looks down at Flora as the chill catches up with him. Geez, he should have brought a jacket or something.
"Well...we still need to go up right Flora? We can't back down after telling the monk at the bottom that we'd be back down after going to the top."
Part of that was to convince himself, it was really cold! He continues to head upwards, keeping a careful lookout for whatever may be watching him.
