"Miltank, come back and have a rest." Whitney looked a little depressed.
After all, being beaten three times by one Pokémon was a very embarrassing thing.
If a gym is always beaten three times by one, it will be audited by the Alliance for a long time.
If it fails the audit, it will lose its qualification as an Alliance gym.
So being beaten three times by one is a very influential thing for the gym, but it is actually nothing.
Because people from other regions often come to the Johto Region to participate in the Alliance Conference, their strength is not weak.
If they use the Pokémon that were bred at the beginning to fight, they will often achieve a record of one-on-three.
As a gym owner, the main task is to test the Trainer level of the challenger and whether they are qualified to participate in the Alliance Conference, so they will not send out too strong Pokémon to challenge.
"You won, this is a badge from my gym." After the battle, Whitney handed the badge of her gym to Gary.
"Thank you."
Gary took the badge.
[Ding! Mission completed, rewards have been sent to the space backpack.]
After getting the badge, Gary said goodbye to the Goldenrod Gym and returned to the Pokémon Center.
After packing his luggage, he planned to set off for Ecruteak City the next day.
Ecruteak City is a historic city that has existed since ancient times.
The traditional Bell Tower has existed for 700 years and is still standing today.
It is said that the Bell Tower is related to Ho-Oh. The Ho-Oh Guards were the Burning Pokemons and were resurrected by Ho-Oh to become the Ho-Oh Guards.
According to the timeline, this was 150 years ago.
After resting for a night in Goldenrod City, Gary left for Ecruteak City on a mountain bike the next morning.
...!
Ten days later, Ecruteak City.
"Finally arrived. The road was really bumpy."
Gary entered the border of Ecruteak City, and it took him a full week to get there.
Looking at the map, the distance from Goldenrod City to Ecruteak City is not far, much closer than from Azalea Town to Goldenrod City, but the road is full of mountains, and it took Gary ten days to climb over them.
Also, he encountered many Trainers who challenged him along the way.
Because Weavile and Heracross were inexperienced in combat, Gary naturally accepted them all, mainly to let the two Pokémon learn more about the attack methods of other Pokémon, which would facilitate future battles.
"Let's visit the Burned Tower and Bell Tower in the afternoon," Gary said.
There are two towers in Ecruteak City in addition to the famous Bell Tower, there is also the Burned Tower.
The Burned Tower is located in the northwest corner of the city.
The Ho-Oh Guards were burned to death in the Burned Tower, which is related to Lugia.
The Bell Tower is on the east side of the city.
This tower has been preserved from 700 years ago to the present day and is related to Ho-Oh.
However, since the fire 150 years ago, Lugia and Ho-Oh have never been seen again.
"The Legendary Beasts were not Lugia's guards before, but became Ho-Oh's guards after being resurrected by Ho-Oh," Gary pondered.
Although the three Legendary Beasts are bound to Lugia, in fact, the three Legendary Beasts and Lugia are not subordinate to each other.
Lugia can only check and balance the three Legendary Beasts.
Just like Rayquaza can suppress Kyogre and Groudon.
After arriving at the Pokémon Center and handing the Pokémon that had fought during this period to Nurse Joy for treatment, Gary took Eevee and went to the Burned Tower to have a look.
There is nothing to see in the Bell Tower. Because it is well preserved, naturally someone will repair any damage.
It is said to be an ancient building, but its appearance has long been replaced by modern technology.
On the other hand, the Burned Tower has been preserved until today after it was burned down 150 years ago, and no repairs have been made.
The charred wooden boards from that year are still there.
Gary came to the street near the Burned Tower and found that there were not many people nearby, and there were not even a few houses.
He couldn't understand why no one came here, as if there were not many people living in the northwest corner of Ecruteak City.
When Gary arrived at the door of the Burned Tower, he saw a sign introducing the Burned Tower.
The sign provided information about the tower and also mentioned that there are wild Pokémon inside if you are not a Trainer, don't go in.
Gary looked at Eevee's reaction and saw that Eevee was fine, which meant that there was no danger in the tower, so he took Eevee into the Burned Tower.
"It really hasn't been repaired at all."
Entering the Burned Tower, the walls and pillars inside were all black.
If there was no light shining in from the cracks, it would be absolutely dark.
As he entered the interior of the Burned Tower, Gary felt the temperature inside suddenly drop, as if he had suddenly walked into an air-conditioned room.
"Eevee!"
Eevee also immediately became alert and carefully observed the surrounding situation.
"Don't worry, it's Gastly and Haunter," Gary comforted.
Because no one has come to the Burned Tower for a long time, all the Ghost-types have moved in.
It is also because of the Gastly and Haunter in the tower that there are not many people living nearby.
"It seems that we have arrived at the place where Gastly lives," Gary said.
[LV20 Gastly / Quasi-Gym]
[LV18 Gastly / Gym]
[LV24 Haunter / Gym]
[LV25 Haunter / Quasi-Gym]
...!
Although Gastly and Haunter can be invisible, Gary, who has the Eye of Insight, can easily see their names and levels, as well as potential information.
"Alas~! The qualifications are not good enough," Gary said regretfully.
Gary really wanted to breed a Gengar, but the Gastly and Haunter he encountered so far have too low potential, and Gary doesn't like them.
After all, Gengar has a Mega Evolution form, and if it is not Elite potential, Gary can't breed it.
After all, the system gives too few items to improve the potential of Pokémon.
Gary still has a lot of quasi-Elite potential Pokémon waiting in line for the bronze crown.
Gary doesn't have extra resources to breed Pokémon with potential below Elite.
"Gastly, Haunter, we just came in to visit here, and we don't mean to attack you. I hope you can forgive us," Gary said.
After a while, the hidden Gastly and Haunter left one after another, revealing the dark walls, broken windows, and floors.
The Gastly and Haunter here are relatively friendly to humans. As long as there is no malice, they will not care.
The main reason is that the owner of the Ecruteak Gym, Morty, often comes here.
Seeing that Gastly and Haunter have dispersed, Gary continued to take Eevee to visit the interior of the Burned Tower.
Gary really wanted to see the place where the three Legendary Beasts fell, which is the center of the Burned Tower.
Ho-Oh also resurrected the three Legendary Beasts here.
Without the interference of Gastly and Haunter, Gary and Eevee quickly came to the middle of the Burned Tower.
There was a huge crack in the floor, and a blue light shone from the crack.
"Huh? How come there is light?" Gary wondered in his heart.
