Sprout Tower
Sprout Tower (Japanese: マダツボミのとう Madatsubomi Tower) is a pagoda in Violet City in Johto. It is inhabited by monks who teach that all living beings coexist through cooperation. These monks train Bellsprout, and occasionally Hoothoot.
As trainers battle, the flexible pagoda shakes from side to side. This flexibility protects the tall tower from earthquakes. This technology is now known as 柔構造 jūkōzō, and applied to hundreds of modern high-rise buildings. Legend has it that a 100 foot Bellsprout resides in the centre.
As night falls, ghosts are said to appear in the tower, in the form of Gastly.
The design of Sprout Tower is inspired by Buddhist temples in the Nara Prefecture of Japan, such as Kofukuji and Horyuji temples.
Trainers: Sage Nico, Sage Chow, Sage Edmond, Sage Jin, Sage Neal, Sage Troy, Sage Li.
