Looking around, I found that there were very few people here. To be precise, apart from myself and Azure who had come from afar, there was only the man and woman standing by the window chatting while looking at the Elf Tower.
“Recently, ghosts have appeared in the Pokémon Tower,” the man suddenly said.
"Pokémon Tower?" Red's interest was piqued upon hearing this.
"Really?" the woman asked incredulously.
"Yes, many people say they saw it," the man nodded, confirming the statement.
"Um, is it true about the ghost?" Upon hearing this, Crimson raised an eyebrow and took the lead in asking.
"Yes, although I haven't seen it myself, that's what everyone says." The man looked at the crimson figure and nodded in response.
"At the Pokémon Tower?" Red asked again upon hearing this.
"That's the Pokémon Tower. Pokémon that you raise will be buried in that tower on face 807 after you lose them."
The woman nodded, went to the window, pointed to the Pokémon Tower in the distance, and responded.
“Many people from distant cities come here to sweep the tombs,” the man continued.
"The ghost you mentioned earlier, was it referring to a Pokémon...?" Upon hearing this, Red nodded, then asked with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, but in the end, it's just hearsay." The man nodded, confirming Crimson's guess.
"Do you think there might be ghosts?" the woman suddenly asked, sounding puzzled.
"Maybe..."
Upon hearing this, Crimson stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then responded.
After all, this is the Pokémon world, full of countless wonders, where death and resurrection are possible, and some people harbor strong regrets about the world and remain as ghosts.
It is not impossible.
"Really? Haha, so the white hand on your left shoulder must be something I saw wrong, right?" The girl suddenly seemed a little scared and said awkwardly.
(cdbg) A white hand on the left shoulder?
"...!"
Upon hearing this, Chi Hong immediately became extremely alert and subconsciously looked at her left shoulder, only to find nothing there.
"!!!"
Then, when she looked back, she found that the man and woman she had just been talking to had vanished without a trace.
"..."
This puzzled Crimson. He stroked his chin in thought, while simultaneously channeling his Crimson Power within his body.
Finding nothing unusual, he then looked around and found nothing unusual either.
"Red, Pikachu and the others are all healed. What happened?"
At this moment, Azure, carrying Pikachu and a healing tray containing Poké Balls, walked over and asked Crimson, who was deep in thought.
"Are you still thinking about Xiaozhi? We'll go look for him in a bit. Don't worry, that kid's lucky."
Placing Pikachu back on Crimson's shoulder, Azure, like a wife, placed Crimson's Poké Balls one by one on the Pokémon belt at her waist, straightened Crimson's collar, and spoke.
"fine."
Seeing this, Crimson emerged from her thoughts, glanced at her own shadow, smiled warmly at the azure sky, and gently shook her head in response.
"Alright, Red, where are we going next? To the Pokémon Tower?" After looking at Red's handsome figure, Azure clapped her hands in satisfaction and asked.
"Ok!"
Red, who had originally planned to ask about the Pokémon Tower, became even more curious about it after talking with the two "people" he had just spoken to.
"Um, are you guys heading to the Pokémon Tower?"
At this moment, Miss Joey, having finished tidying up, came to the two of them and asked.
"Yes, Miss Joey."
"..."
Azure echoed Crimson's words to Miss Joey, and Crimson nodded in confirmation.
"Well, there are a lot of Ghost-type Pokémon here, and they can be very troublesome. It's been a long time since anyone's been here, so..."
Miss Joey's expression changed slightly, turning somewhat pale, as she turned to Crimson and Azure, trying to dissuade them.
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Joey, but this is a rare opportunity, and we still want to take a look. Besides, with this guy around, everything will be fine."
Upon hearing this, Azure thanked Miss Joey, then patted Crimson on the shoulder and responded with considerable confidence.
"..."
Crimson nodded as usual, uttering his signature words.
"Alright, before you go to Pokémon Tower, I recommend that you definitely visit Pokémon House."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Crimson and Azure, Miss Joy sighed softly, and then recommended something to them.
"Oh, and this too, please accept it!"
Then, Miss Joy took two pale purple scented candles from the drawer of the counter and handed them to Crimson and Azure, while complaining:
"I don't know what's wrong with trainers these days, but the Pokémon Tower is also known as the Ghost Tower..."
"This is a protective charm. If you notice anything amiss, you must get out immediately, understand?"
"Pokémon House?"
Upon hearing this, Crimson and Azure exchanged a glance, and then took the pale purple scented amulet from Miss Joy's hand.
He then thanked Miss Joey.
"Thanks, Miss Joey!" x2
Then, after Nurse Joy's repeated instructions, Red and Blue left the Pokémon Center.
Head towards the Pokémon House in the center of Lavender Town.

"Is this the Pokémon House?"
After leaving the Pokémon Center, Red and Blue arrived at the Pokémon House in the center of Lavender Town, looking around at the unremarkable-looking house.
"..."
Chi Hong looked around at the very simple house, walked up to it, and gently knocked on the door.
"coming!"
A girl's voice came from inside the room.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the wooden house opened, and a girl appeared before Crimson and Azure.
The girl was wearing a pink top and a white pleated skirt, and her short brown hair was tied into cute pigtails.
"Hello, this is Pokémon House, a home provided for abandoned or neglected Pokémon, a place to take care of Pokémon."
"My name is Rena, and I'm one of the staff members here. May I ask who you are?"
Rena led Red and Blue into the Pokémon House, poured them a cup of tea, and then introduced the Pokémon House, followed by a self-introduction.
"My name is Azure, and I come from Pallet Town!"
"Crimson, also from Pallet New Town."
Red and Blue took a sip of tea, enjoying the warmth emanating from the hot tea, and introduced themselves to Rena.
Then, Azure spoke up, revealing the purpose of their trip: "We heard that there is a rescue organization in town called Pokémon House, so we came here specifically to visit."
"Oh? Since Mr. Red and Ms. Blue want to visit the Pokémon House, then please follow me."
Upon hearing this, Rena nodded and then walked ahead, leading Red and Blue on a tour of the Pokémon House.
The three of them briefly toured the lobby of the Pokémon House, and then went into the back of the Pokémon House, where the Pokémon live.
The rooms here are divided into many compartments, and each compartment is inhabited by a Pokémon.
Most of the Pokémon in this game are in their initial, unevolved forms, and these small Pokémon look very cute.
Oddish, Nidoran, Rattata, Growlithe, Vulpix, and other adorable Pokémon are enjoying their food under the care of volunteers.
As you walk in, the crimson and azure hues are enveloped by a warm and gentle atmosphere, and your heart is filled with an intense sense of happiness.
Especially Azure, upon witnessing such a scene and enveloped in such a sense of happiness, couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in her heart.
In this less-than-ideal world...
There was even such a scene...
"...?"
Crimson, enveloped in this feeling of happiness, hadn't even had a chance to enjoy it for long before a sense of incongruity arose, causing her to feel confused.
My gaze fell upon the last cubicle, where a small figure was huddled in the corner.
...
...
"There are quite a few, abandoned Pokémon..."
After observing for a while, Azure looked at the Pokémon being cared for by the volunteers and murmured something to herself.
"..."
Crimson nodded in response.
"Grandpa Fuji, who created this Pokémon House, said that there are many people in this world who use Pokémon as tools or accessories."
"This was originally Grandpa Fuji's house, but it was converted into this Pokémon House for the sake of the Pokémon."
Rena opened a cubicle, looked at the red and blue Pokémon watching, and spoke softly.
