015 Elven Tower
Elven Tower [Japanese: ポケモンタワー, English: Pokemon_Tower]
[The resting place of the soul.] 】
————————————————————
The Elven Tower is located in the center of Shion Town in the Kanto region and is the most famous Pokémon graveyard in the Kanto region.
Its exterior is a tall stone tower topped with sculptures resembling the horns of a monster. There are 7 floors in the tower, and many dark gray stone tombstones stand among them, and the number reaches thousands. Tombstones are usually engraved with the Pokémon's portrait, date of death, and trainer's name.
This is a gathering place for ghost-type Pokémon, most of which are of the ghost line, and other races can occasionally be seen. In addition, the wild Caracalla can also be seen nearby. Most of the ghost-type Pokémon in the tower are fond of pranks, and it is said that there have been cowardly trainers who were so frightened that they cried and ran away.
Ghost-type Pokémon in the Tower seem to have the unique ability to disguise themselves as human ghosts. However, it is only possible to see through the use of phantom lenses borrowed from the tower keepers.
The tower is sparsely populated, and occasionally trainers come to visit the graves and pay respects to their dead Pokémon companions. The tower is home to a sporadic group of superpowers and prayer gurus who challenge passing trainers.
The atmosphere in the Elven Tower is very oppressive, and the room temperature is around zero all year round. There are no artificial lighting in the tower, and only a few small windows draw light from the outside world. The dark and cold environment can easily create a sense of fear in people's hearts, and even the trainers who come to worship will not want to stay here for long.
In the center of the hall on the top floor of the Elven Tower is a stone tablet that is a full height of a person, which records the history of the construction of the Elven Tower.
Resentment after the death of a Pokémon will accumulate in the tower. Although it has no effect on ghost-type Pokémon, it can affect the human mind and emotions, causing people to have negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, and nervousness. The official Aster Town account of the GT Forum once posted that it was not recommended for trainers to stay in the tower for more than one day.
A trainer posted on the forums that he had seen a terrible wraith on the top floor of the Elven Tower. There are also many legends about the undead of Pokémon in the town.
It is said that the Aster Town Hospital once treated a trainer who was unconscious in the middle of the top floor of the Elven Tower. Usually after a few days the trainer wakes up and forgets everything that happened in the tower. As a result, horror stories and urban legends about elven towers are rife, but not many trainers have the courage to find out.
There is a well-known urban legend about the souls of the dead in the Elven Tower: every full moon night, the masked Soul Destroyer will reach the Elven Tower, fight the evil spirits in the tower, and then disappear into the Dark Forest west of Aster Town. Its authenticity has yet to be verified.
The tower keepers of the Elven Tower are a lonely old couple. Their two sons, both Coalition Investigators, died in the Battle of Somyana and now live on the income and subsistence of the tower.
Perhaps due to living with ghost-type Pokémon all year round, the two old men have a very lively temperament, some mischievous and eccentric, and call themselves "Ghost Father-in-law and Ghost Mother-in-law". The inaccessible elven tower is rarely visited by outsiders, and the life of the two old men is comfortable and somewhat boring, so the chatty ghost mother-in-law will often pull the trainer who wants to climb the tower to talk. From the Ghost Mother-in-law's mouth, you can hear a lot of information that has been deliberately concealed by the Alliance for a long time, such as the war thirteen years ago.
Grandpa Ghost's mission is to clean the Elven Tower with the Ghost Pokémon. He can understand the language of ghost-type Pokémon, and sometimes plays pranks on trainers with Pokémon.
The old couple who stayed at the tower and the old man Fuji seemed to have been friends for many years. Young Pokémon who have lost their parents in the Elven Tower will be sent to the Fuji-old man's rescue house by the old couple, where they will be cared for.
