Sprout Tower

[sonrise]

Soon after Varian and his travel companion had arrived in Violet City, the tall, wobbling structure of Sprout Tower had caught the former's attention. He'd had to ask what was up with that, because it seemed like something must be wrong. It just didn't seem sound!

The answers he'd got weren't exactly reassuring, either. Apparently, the central support beam was built around a giant Bellsprout, thus the uneasy wobbles? That had only raised more questions from Varian-- What kind of material took on the flexible property of what it was built around? Was the Bellsprout still alive? How had it become so tall to begin with? None of those answers were any more satisfying.

Varian was looking a bit sulky as he came down the front steps of Sprout Tower to meet back up with Hunter, and he shook his head upon reaching the other teen.

"I know a lot of things here haven't made sense to me, but I really don't think they have any clue why the tower is like that."

Hunter nodded, too caught up in the enthusiasm to really care about anything else.
"You know, I was thinking something similar. Training up better Pokemon would make the breeding better, right? So, it definitely works for both of us!"

Varian nodded with a giggly little laugh.

"Yeah! It'll be great. Definitely better than checking out a tower that doesn't make any sense, anyway."

"Pfffbbht," he waved his hand, "it's way better than some weird old tower that won't even let you up all the way, without winning some arbitrary test!"
