201

Red arrives in Lavender Town in the middle of a rainstorm and is looking for somewhere dry to stay. He tries to ask people for help, but they completely ignore him. While wandering around, he comes across an old man, Mr. Fuji, at a tombstone. Red asks what he is doing; he explains he is paying his respects to his deceased Doduo. Red also pays his respects. Mr. Fuji appreciates Red's kindness and asks him to go to his house.

At Mr. Fuji's house, the old man explains the origin of the Pokémon Tower: a cemetery built to respect the souls of Pokémon. Red wonders why Mr. Fuji's Doduo was not buried in the Tower; Mr. Fuji tells him that there are ghosts in the Tower, and as a result no one dares to go there anymore. Red refuses to believe that there are ghosts, but Mr. Fuji states that the ghosts have made the townsfolk frightful and untrustworthy, in the same way Red was treated. While Mr. Fuji explains, Red is looking through old pictures of Mr. Fuji and his Doduo and stumbles upon one that has Blue in it. Mr. Fuji informs Red that Blue went into the Tower about two weeks ago and never returned -- these days, no one that enters the Tower ever returns. Intrigued by the mystery, and unwilling to back down from a challenge his rival took on, Red runs into the building.

Inside the building, Red is taken by surprise by an eerie fog that begins to mysteriously form. A Psyduck suddenly appears from the mist, soon followed by other Pokémon, and as Psyduck draws near Red discovers that Psyduck is really a ghost. The other ghosts, along with Psyduck, prepare to close in on Red. Saur is quickly sent out, and after a few unsuccessful attacks it manages to crush the decomposing Psyduck corpse with Vine Whip. As the other undead Pokémon close in on the duo, Red and his Bulbasaur make a dash for the exit, but Red notices that the ghosts aren't following them. Noticing that the ghosts are not leaving the fog, Red deduces that the corpses must be controlled by the fog, just as he sees a blast of fire coming at him. Dodging the attack, Red recognizes Blue's silhouette, but as he tries to run over to them Blue's Charmeleon continues to attack. When he gets a closer look, he sees that there is something different about Blue's expression, as the latter stands alongside the ghosts in the fog.

Red tries to coerce Blue into snapping out of his daze, but to no avail; he eventually realizes what's controlling Blue, which turns out to be a Gastly. Noticing this, he uses Charmeleon's Fire Spin against Gastly, causing Blue and Charmeleon to faint to the ground. After waking Blue, the two go up towards the top of the tower to fight Koga, who had cast the spell on Blue with his Gastly. Red and Blue taunt Koga, causing him to chase the two out of the tower with his acid-spraying Arbok. After running for a bit, Blue has his Charmeleon decapitate Arbok, ending the fight between them and Koga. This caused Lavender Town to become peaceful once again, and Mr. Fuji thanks Red for saving their town from the ghosts.

Trivia

  • Mr. Fuji reveals that he once had a Doduo, but it passed away due to old age.
  • A picture that Mr. Fuji has of his Doduo is of it hatching from an Egg, even though the concept of Pokémon Eggs had yet to be created. This could be because it was a bird-like Pokémon, however.
