Redead stared down the annoying flock of birds as his Litwick stood beside him, watching. She didn't speak much, if at all. But she was surprisingly expressive with such a simple-looking design for a face.
Redead noted that the Ghost Pokemon wanted to mess with the birds, so he let her. "Go get 'em' Poe~!" The Ghost pokemon moved towards the flock before wailing loudly in surprise, terrifying several of the pidgeys as they scattered to the four winds.
<*Giggle*>
"Spooktacular job, Poe!" He emphasized with a thumbs up and a happy smile. The Candle Pokemon simply stared for a moment, before smiling as well.

Verai had simply resigned himself to not understanding a fucking thing that was ever going on. He just sort of went where felt right, and dealt with what was happening there when he got there. This tree wasn't the weirdest thing he could think of, sparkling disco balls included. It just happened to be close. But- This was the Tree of Worms, and not the Tree of Bird Swarms- yet all he could see were birds and fallen feathers.
"What is all this?" He grunted, putting an arm up to protect his face. His litten hissed a bit in his ear, tail lashing. <They're snacks! Let me get them!!>
Verai groaned- there was no way of stopping the creature, was there? He could hold back a kitten, but figured he'd have a harder time with one that breathed fire. And, from what little he understood so far... these battles were part of them, same as playing and eating.
"Fine- Just be careful."
With a yowl, the little launched herself from his shoulder, tumbling to the ground, but making a quick hop back onto her feet. She sucked in her breath, and let out a short puff of fire, which only barely caught onto a nearby pidgey- sending it hurtling down to the ground.
<I did it! Purrai! I did it!> She sang, then suddenly going stricken, and looking down at where it had fallen. <It's... gone? But I did it? I wanted a snack?> She then looked right up at Verai again, mournful.
LITTEN used EMBER.

"This sure is... something."What other way is there to put it? With a Cottonee floating right by his side, Muin steps onto the third floor of the Tree of Worms, and what he encounters there is... dancing Pidgey? One single dancing Pidgey, in fact. Apparently, all the others had been defeated and he had made it here just in time to see the fourth floor unlock. Kind of exciting, isn't it? But, before the floor can be unlocked, there's one thing left to do... Deal with the Pidgey, of course. Which, thankfully, the cantankerous Cottonee does without need of any prompting on Muin's part, because the moment the Pidgey tries to bite the delicious-looking cotton ball, it releases a FAIRY WIND. #30 [Tower]gUJiWzn|1d50

When they reach the tree, it’s already a bit of a graveyard. Kazuki steps under the branches, a whirlwind of feathered pests overhead. His strides are careless; they kick and step on anything in their path, be it the little worms they’re meant to protect or the defeated birds.
“Surely,” he says, “you can handle this, can’t you?”
Sprigatito finally came to a stop by his feet, taking deep breaths. Keeping up with the man was difficult on such tiny legs. Looking at the birds, most of which were even tinier than him, he tilted his chin up confidently, meowing his assent.
He approached the closest one, glancing over his shoulder to ensure his trainer was watching him. He was (albeit boredly). ’This is it,’ the kitten thinks. ’I’ll show him!’
The Pidgey squawked, finally seeing him, diving out of the air. He launched after it, claws ready to swipe—
But they didn’t even touch its plume. Sprigatito squeaked as he tumbled like a ball, missing the bird entirely. The bird in question went crashing straight into the ground instead, turning into an unconscious pile of dazed fluff.
Sprigatito’s ears and tail droop upon realizing his mistake. He braces himself for reprimand, only to hear heavy footsteps among the sound of flapping wings.
Opening his eyes, he sees his trainer already stepping past him to explore the tree.
The kitten scrambles to his feet, chasing after him once again.

Tower of Worms Floor 4: Men at Worm
The next floor is UNDER CONSTRUCTION! In an effort to slow your progress 10 Pidgey workers have strung construction tape from the trees, and hung traffic cones and no through signs from the branches!
Clearly there is no way to progress. You should probably find another route.
You have defeated 10 Pidgey and unlocked Pineco (U)!
The next reward (Blipbug) will be unlocked at 40 Pidgey.

"Aw, man! Now why can't we go up?"The dance party on the previous floor had been a total blast. Way better than Homecoming. Though of course, Homecoming was only awkward because everyone stood around waiting for someone to ask them to dance. Except the cool girls and also Kenny, who thought it was better to have fun and make everyone laugh than worry about being embarrassed or whatever. Still, here? Way less pressure! Just cool worms and cool birds and cool, actual DJ music. Her chest still hurt from trying to "do the worm" though. Who would have thought boobs would make it harder? Now, however, the way was blocked. "Hey, is this for real?" Yggy called, peering into the sea of caution tape and orange cones scattered throughout the branches. It didn't look very official. "We're pedestrians, does that make it OK?"<Absolutely not!> squawked one of the Pidgey, dive-bombing Yggy's head. <This area is off-limits!>Despite the easy route having been roped off, it looked like maybe they could climb to the next floor. Who was good at climbing? Cats! "Come on out, Tigger!"The Torracat appeared in a flash of light, giving a long, luxurious stretch. Belatedly, Yggy realized how long it had been since she let the illegal feline out of his ball. Ever since she'd been sent to Asper County Jail, she'd been kinda scared to use him. That isn't really fair though, she thought, suppressing a pang of guilt. "Hey Tigger. Long time no see!" Yggy said, forcing a grin. The bobcat looked Yggy over carefully, drawing a paw over his muzzle. He didn't seem angry or anything- just reserved, as usual. <Seems that way,> the cat said shortly. "Anyway. Could you climb up into the branches and get rid of some of that caution tape? It's getting in the way."<This sounds illegal,> said Tigger, flattening his ears slightly, <But it's fine. I'll do it.> Yggy fought back conflicting feelings as she watched the cat climb up the trunk and into the branches. Little bursts of flame came from the Torracat as the lithe feline leapt from branch to branch, slicing and burning his way through the tape. It came fluttering to the ground in waves. It's just like the decorations after Homecoming, the tomboy decided. yggy used torracat!

Ah yes, the majestic pidgey in it's natural habitat, a construction site. Here, the mighty pidgey works one of the most dangerous nine to five jobs in the world, right up there deep sea welder, Oil Rig Worker, and 7-11 clerk. For the low low price of their youth, knees, backs, and elbow alongside a high likelyhood of developing a debilitating substance addiction they could make just enough to not get government aid but still not be able to put food on the table. Let alone the fact that the pidgey didn't get to see it's kids a lot, hell soon they'd be pidgiottos and they'd barely have enough pics of their kids childhood to fill a page in the family photoalbum. Not to mention all of the GOD DAMN OSHA REGULATIONS that kept them nice and safe but tripled the time any project would take. Working this stupid site was hell, honestly the most awful existence known to man. Sometime the pidgey just wished that-
Achilles used Phantom Force
Jesus christ where'd that fucking lion thing come from? Oh my god it just got Frank, oh god where'd that chair come from? Oh God Frank had so much to live for! Why Arceus why?!??
...
Orion watched from below as his Incineroar flicked from branch to branch, one large furry kaiju loose among feathery civilization. Face frozen somewhere between shock, awe, disgust, and excitement. Absolutely baffled what he was doing on this feathery hunt. How many birds had to suffer for the sins of their fathers. How many needed to be felled in this war of worms?

He hadn't really cared for construction workers as a kid, and he really didn't care for or about them now. These pidgey's weren't even actually wearing safety lines. Something that was necessary if you didn't want to fall and break your head open. Never mind the fact that they could fly. If they were going to bar his way with construction signs then he could just... Make them follow the rules a little bit closer? Maybe? Or at least show them how dangerous it was to not be able to stay in their tree.
Plus he was kind of still sour over having to try and speak french. Who did that to a guy?
"Seed Bomb! Let's just ruin all of the construction."
The angry little living olive that sat on his shoe agreed instantly. He wasn't sure why it insisted on sitting there. He was always one step away from kicking it into the distance since it was so small. And he had to walk like it was some sort of daddy daughter dance nonsense. But nonetheless the creature began to glow and from it's head sprout large, olive shaped bombs that bombarded the construction signs and safety cones.

Sarah climbed up through the branches, but was stopped by a thick line of yellow tape. The whole branch was barricaded by the iridescent lines, and guarded by a bird wearing a well-fitting hard hat.
"Oh. This branch path is closed?" she questioned the sign-holding Pidgey.
The bird nodded, gesturing back the way Sarah came. The signal was clear: flock off.
Sarah braced herself on a thick branch and reached for a ball at her belt. "Well that's no good. I'll have to clear a path."
The bird squawked, flapping more vehemently. A gust whipped up around Sarah, tearing at the branches and sending loose ends of tape flapping.
"Another way around? Oh I'm afraid that simple won't do. Freedom!" Duraludon landed on the branch. It creaked under their combined weight, and Pidgey clutched his sign in fear. "Clear a path for us please."
Steely Dragon Claws tore through the tape barrier and sheered the top off the sign. Pidgey dropped its sign and took off, winging its way noisily up into the higher branches, probably to alert some supervisor.

"Hello? Anyone home?"Aero was a bit confused once she entered her first tower while calling out for someone. She was bored and needed something to do in the game to test her party. And then, she heard about the Tower Challenge from her classmate, and wanting to take it, she decided to head to the only tower open for her at the moment. Yet upon entering the tower, she found herself in a forest inside it, which was a bit confusing considering her experience with previous games. Either that or UNOVR was full of surprises. Although, she wondered if anyone already entered the tower before she did since this was released long after she entered the game. "Weird, I thought everyone already got in before me. Did I miss anything or is the tower that big?" Before she wondered, Aero noticed a brown blur coming in her direction. She gasped and ducked before it hit her. She tried to get up afterward, but she gasped again to see several more blurs coming in, revealing to be a flock of Pidgey. "Oh, man... Not more birds! I already dealt with Ruffy's antics before and I'm not going to lose against more of your Flying rats!"She then tossed her Poke Balls as they released her Fuecoco and Gothita as they prepared for battle. "Coco, Yawn one of the Pidgey to sleep! Lollie, use Hypnosis!"Her Fuecoco yawned loudly to one of the flock, causing it to yawn as well. As for Lollie, she focused on another Pidgey as her eyes turned blue, allowing her to hypnotize the poor bird. Next prompt: [Tower]svF8aSPg1d50 1d50

Valentine had never been a fan of construction. Sure, when it needed to be done it needed to be done, but it was just so mundane and physical. Just moving stuff around and running loud heavy machinery and creating a big mess in the process before having to eventually clean it all up. Ugh.
At least the construction here promised to be temporary enough... but just being around the Pidgey at work was enough to give her a headache.
And yet, given the prompt at hand, all Valentine could do was add to the noise...
"Puff, shoot them a Supersonic!"
The Noibat obliged as Valentine covered her ears, though she knew the attack couldn't harm her as such... but still, better to hear less of the noise if she could, right? But if she had to feel confused and out-of-sorts while making her way through the Tower, well, the least she could do was repay the favor...

Once Aero's Fuecoco and Gothita did what they can, she noticed that the number of Pidgey started to decrease as one of them (including the one that was yawned by Coco) was sleeping. The bad news was that the number was still big and they were still starting. There was no way her Pokemon could do it alone. So why not add another to the party? "You want to fly with me, you crazy birds?" Aero took out another Poke Ball from her inventory. "Zuri, join in and use Absorb!"With a toss, it released her Zubat and rushed in one of the Pidgey with a bite, absorbing a bit of its energy in the process. Okay, that might not be a good attack for her to use against a Flying-type, but she might as well try making some adlibs in her strategy. Absorb is a Grass-type move.

"What do you think?" Domino asks the Tatsugiri sitting on her bright orange hard hat, who in turn also wears a miniscule one. Where had they gotten them from? Don't worry about it! Anything for the flawless aesthetics, right?
The Tatsugiri coos, looking at a pair of Pidgey that seem set on covering a branch in caution tape.
"Damn, Beni, you're right. That's just no good for the environment, huh? Guess we have no choice but to intervene. Oh well!"
Despite dramatic reluctance, a smirk tugs at Domino's glossy lips, and with a short whistled note, the command is given for the Tatsugiri to shoot its water gun at the nearest Pidgey. Had all that just been an excuse to get to beat up the birds? Maybe, but no one can prove it, can they?

This whole place was a mess. Birds everywhere, and the bright-orange of... construction. It was giving him a headache. Still... The birds being here wasn't right, and someone had to do something about it. That someone, apparently, being him.
<I wanna help!!!> Litten yelped, lunging at a pidgey, and missing entirely. She landed with a thump, tumbling, and started to cry softly.
"Hey, it's alright, c'mere," Verai coaxed. "Come sit with me, and we'll let our friends help, okay?" Still sniffling, Litten mashed against his leg, watching wide-eyed as the cottonee was released. "Now- show Kitten what you can do."
The cottonee nodded, launching bright vines towards the offending pidgey, both glowing green before the cottonee, dismissively, dropped the fallen bird. It looked back at the pair expectantly. <Yay!! Good job!!> Litten cried. Verai looked a bit more concerned.
Cottonee used Absorb!

It was less accurate to say Vanta was walking Bulba Fett than it was to say Bulba Fett was walking Vanta.
Whatever social reservations or anxieties the trainer had in spades was not shared by his partner; he pushed ahead, snuffling at various outgrowths and previously fallen birds. The grass-type herded him forwards whenever he lagged behind, uncaring of his phobia.
A lone pidgey swooped at his head. He screeched inelegantly, barely managing to duck as a few launched leaves sheared by his hair. They whistled by as they cleanly impacted the bird, causing it to fall to the floor.
Bulbasaur used Razor Leaf!
