Challenge Tower

Okay, I'll go with this.

I was just thinking that Waite's in pain and suffering and maybe it hurts when we revive her? I'm not sure how it works, so let's do this.

Oh as far as the Ralts we caught was it a male or Female? Also I would say we name our Ralts 'K but we already have 'K the cat.

Any other Le Rena type name we can give Ralts?

(You can decide if it's a male or female.)

"Hold on a minute, sugar." Flurrie takes the Eye Gem and places it into the fairy fountain water. After a while, Waite comes up out of the water with the sparkling fairy water around it. It looks at Flurrie and its eye turns green and then yellow. "Good to see you again, sugar. Now, can you tell Flurrie how you ended up stuck in that gem?"

Waite's eye turns red and it shifts into the form of a hooded man.

"Oh my, who is that? Can you understand what Waite is saying, Great Fairy?"

"No, it's hard to tell. Even if I could, I pick up on what the demon is saying too, so it's a little mixed."

"Do you know who can break this seal on you?"

Waite returns to its normal form and thinks a moment as its eye changes to a purple color. It then shifts into the form of some kind of priest holding a staff.

"Hmm..." Flurrie thinks a moment before Rena pokes her Ralts and calls it Mr. Fish.

"Maybe we'll find out if we keep moving ahead." Captain Toad suggests this and Cth looks up at him and nods.

"Alright, Cth, can you help us find the next town?" Cth nods and then darts off with the party following behind.

The party finds their way over to a large city with multiple buildings. It looks like there are a lot of places to go here. There's a museum of ancient artifacts, an ancient temple that is now a tourist attraction, a huge market selling all kinds of things, A restaurant that specializes in Pokemon battles, and various Pokemon training facilities. It looks like a lot of them have targets moving around and your Pokemon break them. Cth takes the party over to a Pokemon Gym and points to it. This must be the place with the battles he was talking about.

One of the townspeople then notice Cth and shout at him. "HEY, THAT'S THE PIKACHU THAT STOLE MY WALLET!" Cth looks surprised and then jumps behind Flurrie, hiding behind her. "YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME, PIKACHU!" The man starts to run toward you all.

What will you do?

Flurrie grabs the man and smacks him across the face before looking him in the eyes. "You are a very naughty boy. Apologize to my baby Cth and leave him alone. Cth has changed and is a lovely little hero now."

"...Sorry...?"

Flurrie drops him. "Good, now get along out of here. I don't want to see you and your grumpy little face again." The man then runs off after scrambling to his feet.

"Impressive." Rena watches the man run with a satisfied nod.

"I was hoping stage presence meant something else..." Nogeko is visibly disappointed.

The party heads over to the building where the target practice is held. Inside, they find the building is actually quite large. A man with an afro and two Ludicolo welcomes the party inside. "Welcome to Break the Targets! Each course is hand designed for each Pokemon. Depending on how well you do, your Pokemon will gain more experience. Each course will have ten targets. You'll be graded on number of targets you break and the time it takes to break them. You'll only have a few minutes to break them all, so you have to move quickly and use the right moves at the right time. Are you ready? Which Pokemon are you using?"

"ME! I WANT TO GO FIRST!" Nogeko runs up with Pidercat in his arms.

"You got it." The man pushes a few buttons on a remote and the wall opens up to reveal a Caterpie specific break the targets course. It looks like a forest with trees and bushes throughout the area. There are three targets up in the treetops, four place on the ground, two pinned to the tree trunks, and one that is hidden from view at the moment. The clock starts and begins to count down quickly. Pidercat only has a few minutes to break all the targets as fast as possible.

Pidercat spits a string at one of the treetops and takes out a target, boosting forward to hit another target on the tree trunk. He continues onward and repeats the combination until he destroys all the targets in the treetops and pinned to the trunks. There are five targets left on the ground and one that is hidden somewhere. The clock is ticking down!

Pidercat swings from the branches, smashing into any targets it can see. It manages to take out the rest of the visible targets, but as it swings up to the tree branch for a better view of the area, time runs out. Pidercat manages to take out 9/10 targets. Once Pidercat returns from training, it begins to be surrounded in a bright light. Pidercat slowly changes forms and evolves into Metapod! Congratulations! Pidercat learns Harden as well. Nogeko finds this to be a useful skill in multiple situations.

What will you do next?

Rena steps up with Mr. Fish at her side. "I'm next."

"Good luck." The man with the afro pushes a button and the wall closes before opening to reveal a special course for Ralts. It looks like there are five normal targets, two floating targets, and three targets within a special force field that cancels out psychic abilities. The clock begins ticking down as Mr. Fish steps into the training area.
