They’re getting near the end. Kazuki’s shoes hit the floor of a cavern littered with what at first appeared to be steel wiring.
A parade of Gatorade worms leads him and the rest of the tree explorers further down the damp tunnels. The enemies here are even stronger; now full-blown Pidgeot that threaten to rip them right off their feet.
Scorbunny lets out a warrior screech. <Get cooked!> and using his trainer’s head as a platform, he breathes in deep, before releasing a plume of EMBER that renders one of the zooming Pidgeot into a mere featherless biped. Once a bird, now deemed a man.

Jinx is having fun.
It doesn't look like a pleasant or enjoyable experience, at a glance. Crawling through sodden wet tunnels, the place reeking of mold, mud getting everywhere... and that's before the Pidgeot even started their assault.
But while Jinx is covered in mud and her limbs are aching a bit, there's still a smile on her face. This is exactly the sort of thing she wants to get out of this game. Discovery! Adventure! A chance to get down and dirty and not have to worry about the consequences!
It would be nice if the place smelled a little better, though. They didn't usually mention that sort of thing in adventure stories, after all.
"Pringles, show them who's the real top bird around here, will ya?"
The Rufflet looks small compared to the Pidgeot that are terrorizing the tunnel, but his Wing Attack proves mighty just the same. One blow from his little nub of a wing, and one of the enemy Pidgeot falls, feathers and mud mingling together in the tunnel before the fallen bird entirely fades away.
"Yeah!" Jinx's grin is even wider than before now, though between the mud and the feathers, she looks a little like the victim of a tarring-and-feathering attack. Not far from the truth, really...
"Good job, Pringles! Now THAT's what I'm talking about!"

"Ugh. Never been much of a spelunker." Tuesday grimaces when finding herself in a dark cavern full of roots that are made of solid steel. There's worms here too... worms that don't look much like any common Pokémon. What are they? The only green worm Pokémon she knows is Caterpie.
<'My liege.'> Ancile calls to her attention, the respectful tone of his voice being followed by the ungodly screech of a Pidgeot. It makes her scrunch up her nose for a second or two.
"Oh, right. The birds... Go ahead and slash them."
<'Yes, my liege.'>
Ancile has never questioned Tuesday nor has he gone against her wishes and today won't be the day that he does so for the first time. Chains made of ice shoot towards the Pidgeot, fast, silent, and deadly — a NIGHT SLASH in the dark cavern.

Swimming was never her forte. Although she has had swimming lessons went she was young, the fear of drowning never allowed her to swim to far. Luckily though, her life wasn’t on the line this time. Rhaenyra jumped right in, water droplets splashing everywhere as she followed the rest of the group to the moldy cavern. Pale golden orbs were quick to taking in the surrounds, wolf ears twitched as she got out of the water.
A wind howls, causing the woman to face her the angry avian. Eyes widened, reaching into her jacket and fumbling to grab a sphere from her pockets. A beam of might shot out from her pocket, startling the woman. A shuckle materialized, quickly withdrawing into his shell as soon as he felt the sharp blades of wind hit him. Rhaenyra glared darkly at the bug and rock type, face fell. “Really... I didn't even pick you. You're useless.”

It took a while for him and Ouros to swim out of the dive-bombing flock of Pidgey, but Morpheus sighed that they were able to escape from their pursuers.
At least that's what he thought until they met worse than a flock. And that was their final evolution, Pidgeot.
<You're not expecting me to fight that...monstrous bird?!> His Snivy exclaimed, which she has a point. Even with his newly-obtained Snom, it was too weak for them to stop it. They were lucky with those first two hits, but how long would it last before it could get Ouros?
"I wish I didn't, but..." He sighed. "Damn, this game feature is out of our league..."
<Well, that doesn't mean we have to give up, right?>
On one hand, he felt like she was wrong. But on the other, Morpheus has a bad habit of not letting this go until they would find out the end of this tower. "You know what? Do it."
And Ouros did so with another Leaf Tornado on the Pidgeot's face. NEXT PROMPT (#86): [Tower] JdPO5GkI1-501-50

Genesis was glad to get away from those creaky ladders up high in the sky in this part of the Tower... even if it meant running around through dank, poorly-lit tunnels instead. Good thing they'd never suffered from claustrophobia...
Those Pidgeot were a bother, but luckily it was easy enough to dispose with them, one prompt at a time.
Use a Bug-type move, eh? Well, Genesis had a number of bug Pokemon to their name yet... but using a Bug-type move from a Bug-type Pokemon was too straightforward for them, made too much sense. Better to do something a little more off the wall, and with a Pokemon they'd had for longer to boot...
"Sable, hit them with a Pin Missile!"
The Chespin cooperated without hesitation, and while normally the weak Bug-type move would barely have hurt the Pidgeot at all, this time it was enough to make one of them collapse and fall unceremoniously to the ground.
It wasn't the most beautiful or noble attack, perhaps, but it was a step in the right direction, a step closer to unearthing this Tower's mysteries, and that was all that mattered to Genesis.

They were getting close to the depths of this dank and dark tree. Soon he would find out the truth behind this bird v bug gang war and the Limeaid worms. Soon he would be done grinding out saving bugs, and he'd be one step closer to being the very best. Yet it appeared that the birds were pulling out all the stops and getting the big boys out to bring some serious aerial supremacy.
Too bad they weren't ready for Orion to bring his own heat.
The massive oversized pidgeon dashed forward, playing a game of chicken it didn't realize it was about to lose. In an instant Orion leapt into the air and wrapped his arm around it's neck, yanking it from the air and bringing them both to the earth in a classic wrestling RKO. The bird let out a confused squawk that was cut short, and Orion would roll back onto his feet and continue deeper and deeper into the depths, undeterred by any feather foes.

Taylor wasn’t sure where exactly she’d expected to end up as part of this tower, but deep in the soggy roots of the tree wasn’t it. She was squinting, peering at one of the lime green worms, trying desperately to figure out what it was. There were loads of them. Were they Zygarde cells, perhaps…? Before she could draw any sort of conclusions, a Pidgeot appeared before her, whipping up a contained hurricane and buffeting her with it.
“Shit!” She cursed, frantically tapping to release Mumble. Perhaps not the best choice of Pokémon for this encounter, but it was muscle memory by now, to reach for him. Thankfully, once he appeared, Mumble seemed to know just what to do, leaping towards the Pidgeot in question and unleashing a Fury Attack.

Aero has no idea where she was right now. After slipping into another area and swimming around, she found herself in some strange area with roots and strange worms crawling about. Most of them seemed very familiar to her. "Whoa... They look like Zygarde worms from Pokemon Sun. Does that mean I can meet that Pokemon if I go deeper? That might be cool!"
However, her awe was quickly interrupted when she saw an incoming intruder. An intruder that she recognized as Pidgeot, the final form of Pidgey. It cawed as soon as it noticed the young girl swimming in.
"Uh oh..." That's all she could say before she swam away just as the Pidgeot dived bomb into her. "Lollie, stop it with your Psybeam!"
She threw her Poke Ball and out came her Gothorita once more as she let out her beam of psychic energy to the incoming large bird, giving her trainer enough time to escape and ran (or swam in this case) to the next floor. NEXT PROMPT (#90): [Tower] xx4XTfDJ1-501-50

Tower of Worms Floor 9: A Wormderous Construction! Hundreds of glittering, lime green worms swarm together, twisting and intertwining as they form a larger, more solid form. Each of the tiny creatures you have followed this far has been but a part, a cell, of a greater form.
The lime green creatures fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, tessellating perfectly as they create a twisted, magnificent shape which spirals like a stone serpent, filling the cramped cave with its presence.
Behind you the enraged Pidgeot launch one final assault, pulling out every trick they have to stop you from reaching the stone form as it slowly pieces together. Hurricane winds knock over players and hurl lime green worms around the cave. Birds swoop you, moving at Mach 3 speeds. They're barely visible for a moment before slicing past you in flashes of break and talon.
Defeat the final flock of attacking birds to access the glowing green statue.
You have defeated 10 Pidgey and unlocked Orthworm (U)! The final reward (Onix) will be unlocked at 100 Pidgey.

They’ve reached it. The final floor.
Kazuki grimaces, seeing how far this damn tree has taken them. He’s waterlogged as fuck, what little fabric he actually wears has been turned into nesting material, and he’s been slogging through worms for long enough that he likely has actual worms. Plus, the bird flu—
But there’s no time to ruminate. There’s one last struggle to be had, and an absolute ungodly amount of worm to turn into neon green hair dye. They’ve all coalesced into some sort stone abomination, taking up far too much of the battlefield, and the remaining hoard of Pidgeot are the most ferocious they've encountered thus far. He sends out his Gyarados, calling out the order.
The Gyarados roars as the Hurricane nearly tears it from the ground, bracing with his great bulk. He releases a heavy downpour of salty BRINE as they approach at top speeds.

The tower had the climbing up stairs and more stairs, but with the Tree of Worms, it’s like they go deeper down into the earth with every success. To the roots and even farther now.
"Oh damn, what the hell is that?!" Tuesday exclaims when seeing the lime green worms gathering, a radiant smile of excitement shining on her face. Clearly, something really cool is about to happen and she sure as hell won't miss it!
“Only a few more left! Counting on you, Bartók!” She releases her Sawsbuck, because after all, there's something that's just fitting about releasing a deer Pokémon in a giant tree that's all too Yggdrasil-like.
The Sawsbuck stands tall and proud, spring blossoms currently blooming all over his antlers. He's a mighty wall to stand between Tuesday and the terrible Pidgeot, a SOLAR BEAM cutting through their formation.

They had to be nearing the end now, right? The sheer number of little green, wriggling worms suggested some sort of culmination, and as they slotted together, forming some kind of mysterious stone serpent, Taylor watched in fascination. She was just squinting at it in curiosity when she was interrupted by a side-swipe from an enraged Pidgeot.
“Shit!” The trainer cursed, staggering back a step and sending out one of her team. An Applin appeared, blinking around curiously. Possibly not the best choice, given that they were being attacked by birds, but oddly thematic, since the apple had been a reward for an earlier floor.
“Astonish please, Applin!” She requested, and was obeyed easily enough.

Big Bee carried Riolu down through the musty tunnels, swam hand-in-hand with the little dog, and together they faced down the last of the birds. "Can you take them?" Bee asked his new, blue dog.
Riolu flashed him a grin, gave him a thumbs up, and then shook his head so hard that his ears slapped back and forth.
"No? Really? I mean, sending some mixed messages there buddy, but that's fine, that's fine." A Pidgeot hurtled past Bee, faster than he could even see. It clipped him and sent him sprawling on the ground. Riolu helped him up with a grip of iron.
"Thank bud. Okay. So no fighting? You're sure?"
Riolu shrugged.
Big Bee sighed. "Okay. We play it safe. Just use Endure. We'll wait this out and let the others clear it up. Drawing aggro is a classic tank move."
Riolu nodded vigorously, spread his legs in a fighter's stance, and gave a little bark of strength as he held up one hand. He looked like a crossing guard trying to stop a runaway eighteen-wheeler.
There was a glint of talons from within the hurricane and a missile of pure feathers, fury, and insane wind crashed into Riolu. Big Bee shielded his eyes against the slashing gust, and when he peeked out from behind his fingers he was Blue still standing.
He was bruised, battered, his fur was torn, and there was a feather stuck in his ear...but he was still standing.

As soon as he managed to shake off his pursuer, Morpheus took some time to catch his breath. He has no idea what floor he was right now, but at least he made progress. He looked up and saw more lime-green worms start to swarm together and form into a larger creature. He has no idea what was happening, but he felt not abandoning this Tower might not be a bad idea after all.
But just as he could continue watching those little creatures fusing themselves, Morpheus turned and groaned as he noticed a giant Pidgeot still pursuing him. And worse, he couldn't take out his Snivy again unless he wanted to piss her off for being a vegetable shield again.
"Can't that bird give up already?! I guess I have no choice then," he said before he took out another Poke Ball. "I know I recently got you, but I need your help. Go Snom!"
He threw the Poke Bal and out came his Ice/Bug-type Pokemon. It didn't take long for her to release a gust of cold air at the giant Pidgeot. It doesn't do too much damage, but at least it's super effective enough for Morpheus and his Snom to escape again as they head toward where the worms were gathering.
