Chapter 254: JO-Level Expedition Team and the Mysterious Pokémon Tower

As Arthur also came to Lavender Town through the Pokémon Deposit System, Eden gathered three members of the expedition team, including himself, Arthur, and Leftovers, which happened to be the combination when they first went to the Pokémon Tower.

This time, after becoming stronger, they are about to challenge Gengar in the Pokémon Tower again!

Before entering the Pokémon Tower, Eden took stock of the configuration of the expedition team.

Members: Zoroark, Charizard, Windy Dog

Backpack: a mobile phone, a large stack of banknotes, a flame orb that stores the flame of the Phoenix, 3 holy ashes, some energy cubes, some snacks, some Poké Balls, and some medicines

The configuration is quite complete, which should be enough to conquer this Pokémon Tower.

It is indeed a max-level character who has come back to refresh the beginner copy.

"Confirmed, let's go in and test our courage!"

"Aho!"

"Woo woof!"

The Pokémon Tower has 7 floors, and each floor is filled with tombstones of deceased Pokémons.

After the Rockets occupied the Elf Tower, the residents of Lavender Town, who realized that the place had been in disrepair for a long time, repaired and decorated it, making it more peaceful and tranquil.

Since it was not the first time to explore, the current strength was no longer what it used to be. Both Arthur and Leftovers seemed to be very familiar with the place.

In the quiet corridor, the golden-red tail of the fire-breathing dragon crackled, adding a breath of life to the place of rest.

Looking at the elf tombstones everywhere on the roadside, Arthur couldn't help but wonder: Will we die in the future?

"Tangible things will eventually disappear, and so will intangible things." Eden gave a decisive answer, "Except for those legendary gods, even the longest-lived elves will still die."

The lifespan of a fire-breathing dragon in the wild is about 40 to 50 years. After that, it will be seriously injured and die in the fight for territory due to the injuries accumulated over the years. Even if it is better, it can only struggle to about 60 years old at most.

The life span of artificially cultivated Charizards is generally around 120 to 130 years old, and the longest-lived one is said to have lived to 190 years old.

"Woof?" What about woof?

"I'm not sure about the Windy Dog. Wild Windy Dogs are rarely seen by humans, and most of the Windy Dogs in human society are in the hands of Junsha. They always insist that the Windy Dog is also a legendary Pokémon." Eden thought, "Since it is called a legend, how can the life span be more than 200 years?"

The life span of the Windy Dog raised by ordinary people is indeed around 100 years old, which is a relatively long-lived elf, but this kind of elf often ages and dies rapidly after the death of the owner due to excessive grief.

It is rare to hear of a Windy Dog really dying of old age.

Moreover, before the birth of artificial synthetic evolution stone technology, rare evolution items such as Fire Stones often sold at sky-high prices. There are still many unknowns about the elves of Windy Dog for humans.

"Awoof?"

After hearing this, the leftovers thought about it.

Then what about humans? How long can humans live?

Eden had really cared about this question before. After recalling for a moment, he answered directly: "According to the most recent national statistics, which was ten years ago, the average life expectancy of humans is around 60 years old, and in the case of longevity, they can live to 80 years old. The highest record so far is an old woman in the Sinnoh region. It is rumored that she lived to be 151 years old, but I don't know whether it is true or not."

Only 60 years old?

Hearing Eden's answer, Arthur and Leftovers both showed some regret and confusion in their eyes.

"But this is also the data from ten years ago. With the development of technology, the life expectancy of humans is actually increasing." Eden pondered, "I heard that there is a general attribute gym leader named Poplar in Galar. She has been the gym leader for 60 consecutive years and is still very strong."

If it is Qiao Qiao, with his overflowing vitality, it is estimated that he can live above the average human life span or even the upper limit.

After a hundred years, it is not certain who will send whom away.

That being said, even if he dies early, he can transform into the ordinary/ghost's jade-washing form and continue to pester Qiao Qiao.

For some elves, as long as they have a strong obsession, the disappearance of the body will not be the end of their life journey... The same is true for humans.

When Arthur and Leftovers thought of Zhou You's vitality, they regained their composure. Indeed, it's hard to compare their lives with Qiao Qiao without a lifespan of one or two hundred years.

After passing the first floor where foreign tourists are received, the second and third floors where ordinary elves' tombstones are placed, and the fourth floor where ghost-type elves are gradually densely populated, the expedition team came to the fifth floor with a barrier without much hindrance.

With their current strength, ordinary Gastly and Haunter will not get any good even if they form a group, so the journey has been quite smooth.

But from the fifth floor, the wild elves in the elf tower have gradually become dangerous.

Going up further are the tombstones of some powerful elves in the past. Some of them turned into Gengar after death and continued to remain in the world, guarding the elf tower in their own way, waiting for the one in their memory to come back and worship them and reunite with them.

However, humans who can cultivate a spirit that is strong enough to be reincarnated as a Gengar and retain some of its memories and obsessions from its previous life are usually very old, and most of them will never have the chance to come to the Spirit Tower again.

The newly born Gengar still retains some of its previous habits and memories, and they are quite close to humans and usually use pranks to attract attention and care.

But as time goes by, the destined to be fruitless waiting and the disappointment of not getting what they want will gradually distort their character under the influence of ghost attribute energy, and become full of hostility to all living beings.

When Gengar begins to curse humans, it is time to defeat, seal, and purify them, otherwise the consequences may be disastrous...

Such extremely threatening ghost-type elves will be sealed in the barrier on the fifth floor of the Elf Tower - the original leftovers were treated as evil in the barrier while Zhouyou, Qinglu and Team Rocket were fighting. The single scabbard of the sword was held back as a teething stick.

In fact, there is such a barrier on the fifth floor of the Elf Tower in the game. Players can rest here and restore the status of all the elves on their bodies. They can even pick up a cleansing talisman here.

But this time, Zhou You specifically warned Arthur in advance to ensure that the elves should not touch anything in the barrier, so as not to accidentally cause a catastrophe.

"Oh, is there anyone coming to worship at midnight?"

Fortunately, after the Team Rocket incident, the people of Ziyuan Town also strengthened the protection of the Elf Tower. The previously empty fifth floor at night also had a prayer master guarding the barrier.

The prayer master guarding the barrier tonight is a yellow-haired girl named Shizuru.

When she was sleepy and saw the little boy with the fire-breathing dragon and the wind speed dog, she subconsciously thought that he was coming to pay homage, but after thinking about the time period carefully, she quickly realized: "Little brother, you are here to pay homage to the elf." A new trainer in Tower Adventure."
