It appeared that T Rex, Joaco, or whoever was keeping more hidden than friends should keep. In any case, he would ask about it tomorrow... --- Dawn broke, and Mark and T Rex waved goodbye to Mr. Fiji. "I think we should head over to the tower now," said Mark. "Uh... yes. That sounds like a, uh, good idea." Mark's bounty hunter partner seemed a bit apprehensive. --- The interior of Pokémon Tower was even more dark and foreboding than the outside suggested. The stone walls were lined with torches, and the place seemed to be deserted. A thick fog was settled throughout the entrance. "Kinda spooky, isn't it?" "Yeah." T Rex was being quieter than usual. Whoever this Goliath was, T Rex wasn't thrilled at the prospect of seeing him. Once the duo stepped in, the giant double doors slammed shut. Mark jumped about a foot in the air, while T Rex calmly took in the surroundings. --- A half-hour later, Mark was getting exhausted. He hadn't found a single Pokémon in here. For that matter, he hadn't seen anything at all of interest. The whole place was devoid of life. As if in response to his disposition, a portion of wall shimmered, than materialized into a sleepingl ball of gas. "Gastly," said Mark's PokéDex, "A ghost Pokémon. Almost invisible, this gaseous Pokémon cloaks the target and puts it to sleep without notice." "Wow! I've never seen a Pokémon like this!" The young trainer was getting excited. "I think I'll catch it!" Mark dug through his backpack and tossed Eevee's Pokéball. The evolution pokémon leapt out, and the battle began. "Mark, I don't know if Eevee is the best choice for this particular battle..." "Don't worry! Eevee is strong enough." Mark then directed his commands at his Eevee. "Quick attack, now!" As the Gastly awoke to Mark's yelling, Eevee burst from the floor and straight at Gastly. Much to Mark's surprise, Eevee went straight through Gastly and into the wall. Dexter cleared up Mark's confusion. "Ghost Pokémon are immune to normal-type attacks." "Thanks for the warning," he muttered. The Gastly started laughing at Mark's error, then went through the wall and disappeared. "Well that was a bust..." ------------ TBC -Marpa Stelos
