“Thank you, Elder, for the battle! It was quite exciting! I am sure my Pokemon enjoyed it too! Right, everyone?” Lirio replied to the Elder.
Lirio’s Pokemon cheered loudly. “I too quite enjoyed the battle. I was worried you would have difficulties with the Elder’s Noctowl considering your team has quite a few bug and grass types on it, Lirio. But, I am glad you all pulled through,” Monk Konoha chimed in from the side as she walked towards Lirio.
Elder Li now too began to walk towards Lirio. When he reached him, the Elder placed his hand on the youth, who happened to be roughly the same height, and said “You did excellent. I am sure you will be successful in whatever you pursue in the future. Now, if you’ll come with me and Monk Konoha, we can give you your rewards.”
“I had nearly forgotten that trainers that beat the Tower Challenge get a reward. I honestly felt the challenge and growing closer to my Pokemon was the reward in and of itself.”
“That is good to hear and yet another reason why you were able to beat the challenge and are deserving of this reward. Come, this way.”
The three of them walked to the other end of the large room to an altar venerating Bellsprout among others. Elder Li grabbed two items from it while Monk Konoha grabbed another two, a TM, a Pokeball of some kind, a heart scale, and some sort of device which Lirio recognized as an Exp. Share. “We would like to reward you with these prizes for defeating the challenge. The TM is Flash and this Pokebal is a Sport Ball, something I suspect would come in handy for someone of your tastes. I am sure you know how rare the heart scale is and what an Exp. Share does, so I won’t explain those. Also, there is one more thing,” Elder said before turning to Monk Konoha, “Would you mind fetching the Candle, Monk Konoha?”
“Ah, of course. He would be a great fit for it. I will retrieve it right away,” Monk Konoha replied before quickly leaving the room to fetch the item.
“Thank you, so much Elder. This is certainly more thanI was expecting already. I will use these effectively on my travels. However, I must ask, what is the candle for?” Lirio questioned.
The Elder chuckled slightly before responding, “You will see. She should be back momentarily.”
Lirio and the Elder waited a moment after seeing Monk Konoha exit the large room before she returned with what looked like an ordinary candle in hand. “This is your final reward, Lirio,” Elder Li said as he gestured towards the candle in Monk Konoha’s hand.
“I must thank you all for this, but it does appear to be a regular candle, is it not?”
Elder Li chuckled once more before Sadako decided to take a closer look at the candle. When she floated near it, her and Lirio were both surprised when the wick lit a vibrant mix of blues. A face also appeared on the candle. “Oh! It is a Litwick! I have heard of them, but their fires usually burn a ghostly purple, right? This one is shiny, I am assuming?” Lirio said inquisitively.
“That is correct, Lirio. This little guy appeared hear and disguised itself as one of our candles for some time. It took us a while to realize it was a Litwick. We have been trying to figure out what to do with him and thought it would be best to entrust him to a trainer. You happen to be a perfect candidate for raising this Litwick, should you so choose,” Monk Konoha explained.
“Of course. I will gladly raise the Litwick and take it with me on my journey. Thank you all, again, for all of this! Would you like to come with me, little one?” Lirio thanked Monk Konoha and Elder Li before looking at the Litwick in her hand.
The candle Pokemon smiled before jumping up with joy. “I’ll call you, Ignis, little guy,” Lirio said as he took out a Pokeball and tapped it to the Pokemon’s head.
The ball shook a few times before stopping. “Now, Lirio, I believe your next step is to challenge the gym leader Falkner. Do be prepared to face his team of flying type Pokemon and I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors. Do feel free to visit anytime you like. Also, tell your mother our greetings,” Elder Li said to LIrio smiling.
“I would love to see your battle, but I have many tasks I need to attend to here at the Tower, but I will try to see you again at least before you leave. It was great seeing you Lirio and I hope you do well. I shall see you again soon. You can follow the stairs down to the main entrance,” Monk Konoha said farewell.
“Again, thank you all so much! I hope to see you all sooner rather than later,” Lirio said as he bowed before leaving the room and heading down the stairs.
Lirio returned his Pokemon to their Pokeballs and departed the tower.
