In the tower, Morpheus's jaw dropped as soon as he entered it. He heard about the Challenge Tower from the internet and was surprised he could get some rare Pokemon just by participating in it. Realizing this opportunity, he logged in after school and headed inside to try taking the challenge. His Snivy, on the other hand, wasn't very enthusiastic about it as she nonchalantly looked at their new surroundings.
<So why are we here in this boring tower?> She asked. <I can see nothing but trees around here.>
"It says that tackling the challenges here will grant you a Pokemon that was never seen outside the tower before," Morpheus explained while trying to leave out game terms just in case they might malfunction if he did. "I know you're not happy to be here, but how about you try helping me complete them for once?"
<Oh? Am I supposed to be enthusiastic to see a bunch of Pidgey flying towards us?>
"Pidgey?" Morpheus raised his eyebrow in confusion. But he turned and gasped to see the said flock of Pokemon charging in with their eyes deadset on the pair. "Dammit... Let's talk about this later. Ourus, use Leaf Tornado!"
Morpheus dramatically pointed his finger to the flock. But after a few seconds, he almost fall flat on his face when he noticed his Snivy didn't do anything.
<What? Do you expect me to fight them with only Grass-type attacks?> She sarcastically asked.
"Unless you want me to battle without any other Pokemon and my unhatched egg, I think we have no other option."
Seeing that her trainer has a point, Ourus sighed in defeat and quickly threw a tornado of leaves the size of her trainer and threw it to the incoming flock of Pidgey.

The tree of worms had been a little slow lately, but this round Taylor had been hearing a lot of buzz and chatter about it. She wasn’t sure why until she turned up and saw just which Pokémon was promised for this round of ten Patrat, at which point she hastened over. She was juuuuuust in time, and as she entered and noticed the prompt, she grinned.
A new Pidgeotto appeared before her and she gently tossed out a pokeball. Swablu was released with a flash of light, immediately launching into a Disarming Voice once she sighted her quarry. The irony of using a bird to save worm pokemon from other birds was not lost on Taylor, and she was still chuckling over it when a flash of lime green flickered ahead.
“What was that?” She murmured, Flik managing something of a shrug in response as she followed it further into the depths of the tree.

Tower of Worms Floor 8: Under Wormter
You slip down the wooden slides, sloshing water everywhere. The slides all meet in a deep pool of inky water, and as you splash together in the impromptu pool party you notice something glowing beneath you.
Worms. Dozens. No, hundreds of the lime green worms wriggle in the waters below your feet. And they are all swimming down.
But your swim is interrupted by the flock of dive-bombing Pidgeotto! Like seagulls attacking a school of fish they swoop with beak and claw. Quick! Swim down! Follow those worms!
You have defeated 10 Pidgey and unlocked Applin (U)!
The next reward (Snom) will be unlocked at 80 Pidgey.

"Oh shit oh fuck" Orion hissed as he slipped and began to accelerate down the natural flume towards the pool of neon green limeade. Wait, that wasn't Limeaide, that was an army of worms! All swimming downwards, heading towards some sort of final destination. The screech of divebombing pidgeys alerted the fighter to foes coming from on high, and he got the sneaking suspicion this onslaught of birds was going to continue unless something was done. Thinking quick, he recalled his sharp sharky mon into its ball and let loose Zeus the Blitzle.
"Zeus, hit them with a quick attack!"
"Quick attack? Not my lightning!"
"No Dummy!" The fighter roared, diving off the water slide gracefully as he descended headfirst. "You gotta wait 30 minutes after a lightning strike to go swimming. Hold em off! I'm going to get to the Root of the issue at hand."
He hit the water, and the horse snorted. "Puns are beneath you master." Before dashing into the air, leaping from perch to perch, tackling a pidgey out of the air. NEXT PROMPT 71: [Tower] 40cvfVFT1-501-50 |

Silvermoon struggled to catch their breath as they slid down the impromptu slide- towards pitch black water.
"W- Wait-"
They landed with a splash, eyes caught by the bright green worms, ribboning deeper and deeper. Silvermoon was entranced-
Until a Pidgeotto dove beside them, talons out. "Stop that!" They threw a pokeball, uncaring which it was- their impidimp springing free with a laugh, teeth latching into the Pidgeotto's leg.
Silvermoon watched them a moment, before taking a breath to dive after the worms.

Worms.
It would be expected for a place called 'The Tree of Worms' to be full of such creatures, but the sight of all those glowing worms swimming these inky waters is all too curious. Where are they going? Are they just fleeing from the Pidgeotto or—....
Yuze reaches the simple conclusion that they will all find out the truth soon enough, and thus, pushed by the curse that is scientific curiosity, he must be there for that.
"Hala." Hala isn't pleased to be called out of her Pokéball and into the water. She holds onto Yuze for dear life, and when a Pidgeotto comes a little too close, she's quick to give it a THUNDER SHOCK.
Well, that gets the job done at least... little Shinx claws digging into him aside.

In retrospect, this was a terrible idea. Verai slid and splashed, gasping as he righted himself and found air again.
<This is terrible.> Sphinx said, ears pinned as he carefully stayed out of the water. He watched a bird dive, and uncaringly blasted it into a root-slide. <Settle this quickly. I would like to leave.>

He lands in the splash of water unceremoniously. Kazuki sputters, getting up, only to slip once more once he realizes the water is littered with green worms.
A pidgeotto comes launching down from above. Attempting to evade, Kazuki dives, but it turns out birds can fucking swim now, and he can see a flurry of beaks reaching for him.
He takes out a pokeball, releasing a massive serpent in the water, directing through a very simple game of worm charades the move he wants.
Gyarados doesn’t seem too sure of this tactic, but obliges: the water current drastically shifts as he uses WHIRLPOOL, flushing down the birds.

Splash!Momo surfaced, sucking air back into her lungs. As soon as she had some, she screamed. "KYAAAAAAAAAA!"She was screaming because the water was full of worms. She could feel them swimming around her legs. "Gross! Gross! Gross!"
It was a hugely unseemly and un-brave display from the warrior's usual stoic attitude. She didn't have an unusual fear of insects, but this was too much. Next to her, Kenshin the Skitty paddled calmly, seemingly unaffected by the slide, water, or imminent worming. <Don't worry, lass,> he grunted, paddling over to the girl. <I'll kill 'em for ye. OY! BASTARDS!> his shout filled the cavern, hopefully trickling down to the swimming green things as well. <STAY AWAY, Y'HEAR?> He directed the threat up at the diving Pidgeotto as well. Skitty used disarming voice!

Aero was okay with swimming. It's a good exercise and helped her stretch her legs. What she didn't like about it this time was how her small stature wasn't meant for any deep-diving sessions. What's worse was more flocks of Pidgey coming towards her.
"Come on! Will those birds ever give up?!" Aero complained before taking out her Poke Ball. "Lollie, take care of them!"
She took out her Gothorita and it didn't take long for her to release her psychic energy to some of the Pidgey. At this rate, there was no way she could get to the end of the tower. One wrong move and it was all over for Aero!

Laguna had to admit, she wasn't entirely sure why she brought Bertha here. Sure, they were now swimming down in the tree to follow some green worms, which also didn't make any sense, but UNOVR rarely made sense. Who ever heard of a whale swimming inside a tree?
"Hey! Hey boss!" Bertha shouted out to get her trainer's attention, rolling around in the water floating. "I'm tired."
"You can nap later, Betha," Laguna began, her eyes scanning across the top of the water for another one of the Pidgeottos causing havoc. "Just keep an eye out, and be careful. Those worms have got to be going somewhere."
Sure enough, one of the aforementioned bird Pokemon soared down, attempting to wrap their claws around Bertha's round body, but found no real grip. With a lazy slap of her fin, Bertha yawned as the bird flew off. "Sorry boss, too tired. I'm gonna take a little Rest."
"Bertha, come on, we have to swim!" Silence followed, no response. "Bertha?"
The only sound was soft snoring, causing Laguna to groan.

The other tower challenge was a much more appealing concept to Tamara. “Cats over worms, any day…” she muttered as she checked the latter. Oh, but whatever the hell a Snom was sounded seriously stinkin’ cute. And hell, she was sure someone would like it even if she didn’t.
Rather than Patrat, this tower seemed to be infested with Pidgey and Pidgeotto. Yelping as she slid down the wooden slide, she shuddered at the sight of hundreds of little worms swimming downwards. “Nopenopenope!” She shuddered, before being mercifully distracted by an attacking bird.
These weren’t exactly the best of conditions for Cinder, but he was sent out nonetheless. A Feather Dance should take care of one of the attacking flock!

Morpheus gasped after he and his Snivy slid into a new floor. He often battled Pidgey in the early parts of Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu, but he never expected that he had to endure an angry flock to get through it. At least he has time to breathe (literally after they dove into the water) until they move forward...
<Uh, Morpheus?> His Snivy suddenly said while tugging his slacks.
"Not now, Ourus. I'm trying to catch my breath here," Morpheus said.
<Alright. But don't blame me when you get attacked by a dive-bombing Pidgey.>
"Wait, what?!" Morpheus looked up and see more Pidgey flock about to dive into him. "Dammit! Those Pidgey can't give up! But we have no choice. Ourus, use Leaf Tornado!"
<This is the only reason why I listen to you right now!> Ourus said before she released another tornado of leaves toward the flock before she was grabbed by Morpheus and swam away from them.

Tower of Worms Floor 9: Wriggling Down!
You swim through claustrophobic, flooded tunnels, and drop down into a moldy cavern full of thick, steely roots. You're far below the base of the tree, down deep into the wet earth from which this massive titan draws its strength.
But there are other creatures down here too.
The lime green worms wriggle through the sodden dirt, and as you struggle to follow them through the dripping tunnels you hear the howl of wind from behind you.
Pidgeot- Broad-winged and sharp-beaked -launch miniature hurricanes that knock you around the tunnels! The air is full of dirt and rocks and blasting wind. Fight them off as you run towards the depths of the tree!
You have defeated 10 Pidgey and unlocked Snom (U)!
The next reward (Orthworm) will be unlocked at 90 Pidgey.

"Quick!" Rose began, covered in gross mud from head to toe as she trudged shamelessly through the dirt after just swimming through the tunnels. "Follow those wormies!"
"Trying!" Cheese suddenly spoke up, her Electrike standing proudly as it attempted to push against the wind being blown their way. "Birds are nasty! Nasty things! Birds should be above ground!"
"Yeah!" Rose replied all frustrated, shielding her face from the rocks flying as she kept very low to the ground. "Show them why they should have stayed there! Zap 'em!"
"Gladly!" The Electrike howled, the sound echoing through the tunnels as they let loose a Thunder Wave, attempting to short-circuit the Pidgeot and make it easier to actually push through. NEXT PROMPT (81): [Tower]nakZAHgS1d501d50 |
