Bright red and orange flames shot out of the blue echidna’s back. The small fierce mammal bounded off towards its arch nemesis with a strange sort of glint in its sleepy little eyes. Short, cream-colored legs kicked and scrambled up the wooden steps of the Sprout Tower. Should Tristan follow after the Pokemon, he would immediately hear the sounds of a heavy scuffle coming from above at the top of the Sprout Tower. The Cyndaquil’s cry was loud and painful, and yet so distinct that it was unmistakable. “Grrr, how did you get back up here, Cyndaquil?!” The elder Sage roared with a snap of his fingers. He pointed from the carnivorous plant with its bright yellow, bulbous head and then to the rotund brown feathered owl. “But Hoothoot will not let you make quick work of our Sacred Sprout. He is much too important for this Tower. Be gone foul beast!” The strange golden Bellsprout shot thick green vines out from its body that would wrap around the Cyndaquil’s legs and toss him harshly towards the stairs. As soon as the Cyndaquil landed, the feathery brown owl would fly in shortly after and slam into the blue echidna to try and force it back down the stairs. Should Tristan try to interject or interfere, the bald-headed and older Sage would glare at the young lad with a disapproving shake of his head. “This Cyndaquil stands no chance against our Sacred Sprout and does not understand its importance. Not that I expect you to, either.” The elder’s thick, fluffy white eyebrows would furrow so tightly that his eyes would seemingly disappear into his thick brows. “Bu I will ask you to leave or face my Pokemon’s power as well. If you wish to be of assistance, you’ll take this blue mouse with you.” He warned and lifted one lone finger to point accusingly at the Cyndaquil. Elder Li is challenging you to a double battle! Hoothoot [Level 11] & Sacred Sprout [Level 12]. Please choose a Pokemon to help Cyndaquil battle!

Cyndaquil rushed ahead of Tristan and his team, the blue echidna pokemon appeared abundantly fueled with motivation to reach the top of the tower. Tristan was not in near as much of a rush as the small fire type pokemon was, however at the distinctly painful sounding, unmistakable cry of Cyndaquil, Tristan picked up up his pace and rush up the set of stairs and onto the scene.
Unpleasant viewing was what Tristan was faced with as an elderly, bald headed man commanded a golden looking Bellsprout and a rotund brown feather owl pokemon to do his dirty work and lay the smackdown upon the fire type mouse pokemon. The bad blood that the elderly sage seemed to have for the resilient little mammal was vividly clear, Tristan wasn't going to idly stand by and allow what had been his ally in their journey throughout the tower to be beaten down by old foes.
"Neptune, Ice Beam the old man's golden meal ticket"
Neptune had been watching Poseidon handle the previous battle and the shy seahorse pokemon had taken the time that he had been allowed to rest and recover to prepare for a situation just like this one. Once again the typing difference between Neptune and the golden Bellsprout was distinct, however one lethal dosage of the seahorse pokemon's Ice Beam attack would put a cold ending to the elders sage's deranged plans.

Anger swelled up inside of the old man’s chest like a balloon fit to burst. Though his mouth curved into a thick frown, causing wrinkles to crease on either side of his lips, he stilled his emotions carefully when Tristan seemed to outright ignore his comments and chose to fight against them instead. Was this lad daft or did he simply have no respect for old buildings and important rituals such as the Sprout Tower or its monks? This world was going into a bad place, it seemed, if this was how trainers now treated the Sprout Tower. “You choose the side of the Cyndaquil. You must be a terrible Pokemon trainer – unfit for your own Pokemon, I bet.” Elder Li’s comments were meant to sting, though he spoke them in a calm voice while breathing in deeply and exhaling slowly. His thick, bushy white eyebrows lifted up so that he could study his Pokemon’s better. The feathery brown owl hovered in the air as he flapped his short wings desperately to keep himself airborne, while the Bellsprout danced back and forth by waving his leaves and spinning his head large yellow head. “No matter.” Elder Li raised a hand and snapped his fingers, causing his Pokemon to glance at him curiously, before turning back to remain focused on the battle at hand. “Sacred Sprout used Magical Leaf on that seahorse.” Time to send the kid packing to his momma! Though Neptune would fire his shot first, ramming the small plant with a powerful and explosive blast of ice that would completely freeze the plant over, causing the golden sprout to fall over and pass out from exhaustion. Elder Li balled up his fists as his eyes widened in shock and horror. One hand pulled out a small red-and-white ball with a strange insignia scribbled on the front and recalled the plant Pokemon with the click of a button. “Why you delinquent young hoodlum!” He stomped one of his feet angrily before directing all of his attention on Tristan’s Pokemon. “Hoothoot, take that useless excuse of a pseudodragon out! Peck its brains out!” He snapped, and the bird complied by pecking Neptune repeatedly on the top of his scalp. Cyndaquil roared, “quuuiillll!" and shot a face full of smoke in the feathery bird's face to get it to back away from its newfound friends.

The old man despite his age certainly hadn't learnt how to control his emotions, he figuratively wore his heart on his sleeve and a simple verbal barb from Tristan seemed to cut deep. Tristan admired Neptune's handiwork as the blue seahorse pokemon's lethal Ice Beam attack scored a one-hit knockout on the golden Bellsprout, much like the others of its kind, the grass type found itself in the same icy cold fate of unconsciousness. The typing match-up was realistically supposed to be well and truly in the favor of Elder Li's funky looking Bellsprout, as the elderly man had come to find out much like his disciples had, Tristan and his pokemon possessed secret weapons, deadly ones at that.
"Unfit to be a trainer you reckon? Times have changed ya old geezer, you best go ask your little cronies what they think of my pokemons abilities?"
Tristan was amped up now, the blonde haired teenager male often didn't allow himself to get worked up like this, but the gradual build up that had begun at the base of the Sprout Tower now escalated to boiling point at the peak of the tower. Elder Li's Hoothoot, the remaining combatant for the old monk was able to score a nice attack on Neptune as it pecked its small beak into the blue seahorse pokemon. Cyndaquil wasn't one to idly stand by and allow Tristan and his pokemon to do all of the handiwork as it shot a face full of smoke at the owl like pokemon. It was the perfect time for Neptune to take advantage of the situation and Tristan was aware of it,
"Finish the wise old owl with your Ice Beam attack Neptune and with it put an end to the old geezer's washed up ways of doing things"
Neptune wasn't overly hurt from the flying type pokemon's attack and thus registered his trainers request immediately and begun preparing to take advantage of the smokescreen that Cyndaquil had provided as a momentary distraction. Tristan was focused on ensuring his hard working team of pokemon would not be disrespected, being disrespectful to others wasn't the blonde haired teenagers regular way of going about things however the behavior that had been on show in Sprout Tower by the numerous Sage's and now Elder Li wasn't going to just be let go idly,
"By the way, don't you ever disrespect my pokemon again. Take as many shots as you so please at me, but when you discredit my friends you're showing your true colours now aren't you"

"Dis...disrespecting your Pokemon? How dare you speak of such things?!?! You have no respect for this tower. You have given us the cold shoulder to our most sacred bell sprout." If steam could come out of the elder's ears and head, it would be coming out in a large plume reaching the ceiling. "You are full of trickery. Hoothoot, put that pathetic excuse of a wannabe dragon asleep so we can focus on the true target!" Before Hoothoot could react, he is hit with an ice beam of his own. He barely shakes off the attack and awkwardly flies towards the horsea. He stumbles as he lands still trying to warm up. The eyes attempt to do their thing. Hoothoot is so cold that his eyes don't work that well and the hypnosis fails. After Hoothoot attacks, the cyndaquil decides to put the finishing blow on the hoothoot with as strong of a tackle it can muster. It lands and knocks out the wobbling hoothoot. The bird Pokemon rolls back towards the elder sage who looks down at his second defeated Pokemon. He retrieves his ball and returns the KOed hoothoot. The elder walks over grumbling to a pile of sacks and grabs one. He then walks over to Tristan and shoves the bag towards him. "Here, you have won this fair and square. Get out and take that blasted cyndaquil with you. There is nothing we can teach a trainer like yourself. Use the back window if you want to avoid everyone else." If Tristan uses the back window, there will be an escape rope hanging out of it.

To say Tristan had hit the mark in his verbal attacks upon the elder across from him would be an understatement, the anger was seeping off the furry browed old man as he seemingly couldn't stand the sight of the blonde haired teenager. Neptune was like a man among boys on the battlefield, the seahorse pokemon had distinctly imprinted his mark on the battle, while the Elder's team fought back it was to no avail as they were simply outmatched by the one-two punch of Horsea and Cyndaquil.
Tristan couldn't be more proud of how Neptune had performed under the spotlight and also had grown fond of the fire type mouse pokemon that they had been assisting traverse through Sprout Tower, a newfound respect had definitely developed. The elder paid Tristan his winnings for his dominant victory and wanted the blonde haired boy out of his sight immediately, to which Tristan was all too happy to oblige, albeit he wanted to take the opportunity to have the last laugh per say and put the elderly monk in his place,
"Hopefully you've learnt a thing or two about respect for humans and pokemon alike"
Tristan returned Neptune and Poseidon into their pokeballs and moved to the window that had an escape rope hanging out of it. Cyndaquil appeared to have some unfinished business that it wanted to clear up and motioned with its snout like face for Tristan to go on ahead, Tristan nodded his head towards the fire type pokemon and gave it a thumbs up to acknowledge its efforts. Never before had Tristan abseiled down a building but the fearless teenager was all too keen to try it to escape the weird and wackiness that dwelled within the leaning Sprout Tower.
