- Lavender Town: The grave site of Pokemon
{Having reached the other side of Rock Tunnel, Yellow begins listening in on the gossip around town.}
"Cubone's wear skulls, right? People will pay a lot for one!"
{plus}
"Team Rocket will do anything for the sake of gold!"
{equals}
"I saw Cubone's mother die trying to escape from Team Rocket!"
Yellow: (Wait, what?!)
Pikachu: Killing for the sake of "money"...
Yellow: I didn't know that Team Rocket was capable enough for that...
"This town is known as the grave site of Pokemon. Memorial services are held in Pokemon Tower''
"Ghosts appeared in Pokemon Tower. I think they're the spirits of Pokemon that the Rockets killed."
Yellow: Is that even possible?
Pikachu: Sometimes, but it requires a very strong motivation! We must be cautious...
{In one house, there is a girl comforting a Cubone.}
"I hate those horrible Rockets! That poor Cubone's mother...It was killed trying to escape from team Rocket!"
Cubone: Mother... They couldn't beat her in a straight fight, so they... Did anyone else escape?!
{Another house has a sign beside it identifying it as the Lavender Volunteer Pokemon House.}
"That's odd, Mr. Fuji isn't here. Where'd he go?"
{A little girl is playing with a Psyduck and Nidorino}
"This is really Mr. Fuji's house. He's really kind! He looks after abandoned and orphaned Pokemon!"
Yellow: (According to the Pokedex, the nearest habitat for Cubone is... Pokemon Tower itself...)
- Pokemon Tower:
Pikachu: CHAAAA! No! We have to get out of here! ... so much malice...
Yellow: Huh? Pikachu...
{The ground floor is filled with mourners. But another strangely dressed woman stands at the staircase}
"I am a Channeler! There are spirits up to mischief!"
- Second floor
Pikachu: Yellow, we can't! We can't fight this!
Yellow: (Hey, that's...) Purple?!
Purple: Hey, Yellow! What brings you here? Your Pokemon don't look dead! I can at least make them faint! Let's go, pal!
Yellow: Purple, I'm here to deal with Team Rocket! Why aren't you doing the same?!
===Battle Start! Versus Purple, round 5!===
Purple: Go, Fearow! (lv 25)
Yellow: (I expected that.) Pikachu, you're up! (Lv 26)
Pikachu: A-alright! (It's an ordinary fight... we can handle this...)
Fearow: Pikachu, We meet again! It's time to see which of our trainers is... truly most capable!
{Round 1: Pikachu lands a critical Thunderbolt, bringing Fearow down...}
Fearow: r-roh... I see... I'll leave it up to you...
Pikachu: Wait! What are you talking-
{Fearow is autorecalled}
Purple: Tch! I guess it's Shellder's turn then! (Lv 23)
Yellow: Better give Ivysaur a chance! Pikachu, step back. (Lv 25)
Pikachu: Understood. But as long as Im here, maybe I can get some answers...
Ivysaur: Ask quickly, I don't know how long Purple's team can stand against us!
{Round 2: Ivysaur strikes with his Vine whips, Shellder barely holds on and strikes with tackle.}
Shellder: Purple didn't want to fight Team Rocket. Now, he has a reason but he's sca—
{Round 3: Ivysaur finishes off Shellder}
Pikachu: Shellder!
Ivysaur: Apologies, but I could not hold back.
Purple: In case you hadn't notice, my team's changed a lot. Go Vulpix! (lv 22)
Yellow: Wartortle!
Pikachu: Vulpix? What,s this about?
Vulpix: Hmmm, so this is Yellow... Let's see if I'll need him.
Wartortle: Heh. Look who's acting like he's in control.
{Round 4: Wartortle hits Vulpix in a critical spot with Water Gun.}
Vulpix: Gyaah! ...Team Rocket Base... Celadon... Please, sa-
{Vulpix is autorecalled}
Purple: What?! (Darn it, when did Yellow get this strong?) Sandshrew! (Lv 20)
Yellow: Gyarados! (Lv 25)
{Round 5: Gyarados defeats Sandshrew with one Water Gun attack.}
Sandshrew: You can... beat him...
Gyarados: Of course we can! Nothing can oppose us for long!
Pikachu: Wait-!
{Sandshrew is autorecalled}
Purple: Darn it, just one left... Eevee! (Lv 25)
Yellow: Charmeleon's turn! (Lv 25)
Pikachu: Who is it? Who do you want us to fight?
Eevee: The ultimate master... He's the leader of Team Rocket, and... he has the Earth Badge, maybe an augmented version!
Pikachu: No, that's impossible!
Charmeleon: Who cares?
{Round 6: Eevee strikes first with Quick Attack. Charmeleon strikes back with Ember. HP 54/68 vs 75%}
Charmeleon: Who cares how many badges an enemy has, if he's not our trainer, there's no reason to listen to him!
{Round 7: Charmeleon uses Ember. Eevee uses Sand Attack. Hp 54/68 vs 50%}
Eevee: But if Yellow suddenly weren't your trainer? -Aarg!
{Round 8: Charmeleon lands a critical hit with Ember. Purple uses a Potion! HP 54/68 vs 30%}
Charmeleon: ...That wouldn't change anything. Yellow isn't just our trainer...
{Round 9: Charmeleon misses. Eevee uses Sand attack again.}
Pikachu: ...He's a friend. one of us would betray him!
Eevee: A friend?
{Round 10: Eevee uses Quick Attack and crits. Charmeleon's ember misses. HP 27/68 vs 30%}
Eevee: Pikachu, are you sure that will be enough? I lost Rattata to his manipulations last time...
{Round 11: Eevee uses Quick attack. Charmander hits with Ember. HP 15/68 vs 5%}
Pikachu: ! ...So that's it. Well no matter what Rocket Leader tries, I can counter it! He'll be the one destroyed!
{Round 12: Charmeleon's Ember fails. Eevee uses Tail Whip.}
Yellow: Charmeleon, retreat! Pikachu, finish things up.
{Round 13: Eevee uses Quick Attack. HP 44/60 vs 5%}
Eevee: All right then. I believe you...
{Round 14: Eevee uses Quick attack. Pikachu Uses Thunderbolt!}
Eevee: EEEEEEEEEEeeeeeee....
Pikachu: Farewell...
{Eevee is autorecalled}
Purple: What? You stinker! I took it easy on you too! (...Yeah, I wish!)
===Battle End===
Purple: How's your Pokedex coming, pal?
Yellow: I gave it up. You're solo on that now.
Purple: Huh? Uh, Well... I just caught a Cubone! ...I can't find the grown-up Marowak anywhere. I doubt there are any left! (With Team Rocket around, I had to act fast before they caused an extinction. Well, now that I've lost my mission's over. Let the ghosts finish off the grunts!) Well, I better get going! I've got a lot to accomplish, pal! Smell ya later!
Pikachu: Oh no... With the fight I almost forgot, but we're still in Pokemon Tower!
{Another Channeler watches the stairs up.}
Channeler: Even we could not identify the wayward Ghosts! A Silph Scope might be able to unmask them.
{Yellow takes a look on the third floor.}
===Battle Start! Identification Impossible!===
{A Ghost appeared.}
Yellow: Darn! The ghost can't be ID'd! We'll just have to wing it! Pikachu, Thunderbolt!
Ghost: Get out... Get out...
Pikachu: I... I can't! We can't engage this enemy!
Yellow: (Darn it! Pikachu's too scared...) Then we'll have to run for it then!
===Got away safely==
Yellow: I hate to admit it, but there's nothing we can do here. We'll have to leave for now.
- Route 8
Yellow: You alright, Pikachu?
Pikachu: Pikachu. Yes. That tower was affecting me, but I'm alright now. It's like we were never there.
Yellow; Still, I don't like leaving things half finished. I'm going back there if we ever get a Silph Scope. Are you alright with that?
Pikachu: Pi. If you feel it necessary.
{Yellow heads west through Route 8, avoiding as many trainers as he can.}
Lass: What's a cute, round, fluffy Pokemon? (Lv 22 Clefairy, Clefairy)
Lass: Stop! Don't be so mean to my Clefairy! I heard that Clefairy evolves when it's exposed to a Moon Stone.
{Yellow reaches the east-west Underground Path under Saffron}
"The Department Store in Celadon has a great selection!"
{Yellow finds a Nugget hidden in the path}
"I heard a sleepy Pokemon appeared near Celadon City."
- Celadon City
{Yellow checks out the Celadon Department store. He's surprised to see T Ms on sale and being given away. He doesn't buy anything yet, though. On the roof:}
"My sister is a trainer, believe it or not. But, she's so immature, she drives me nuts!"
"I'm thirsty! i want something to drink!"
{Yellow gives her some drinks from the nearby vending machine and:
"Yay! Fresh Water! Thank you! You can have this from me! Tm13 contains Ice Beam! It can freeze the target sometimes!"
"Yay! Soda Pop! Thank you! You can have this from me! Tm48 contains Rock Slide!"
"Yay! Lemonade! Thank you! You can have this from me! Tm49 contains Tri Attack!"
{After recieving these three powerful moves, Yellow leaves the building.}
Yellow: No Silph Scope here. Where am I supposed to find one?
