After arriving in Lavender Town and healing his Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Center]], Red overhears two people saying that the [[Pokémon Tower]], the town's Pokémon graveyard, is haunted. Red asks if this is true; they insist it is. One of the people, a woman, asks Red if he believes in [[Ghosts in the Pokémon world|ghosts]]; he says that he does not think they exist. The woman says that the white hand on his shoulder must be fake too, then; Red turns around and sees nothing; when he turns back around, he finds that both people are gone without a trace. | After arriving in Lavender Town and healing his Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Center]], Red overhears two people saying that the [[Pokémon Tower]], the town's Pokémon graveyard, is haunted.

The [[Pokémon Center | The [[Pokémon Center lady]] asks Red if he plans to visit the Pokémon Tower; he says yes, and she says that he should go to the Pokémon House first. When Red arrives at the house, he is greeted by one of the volunteers there, [[Reina]]. She shows him around, and she explains that the house was founded by an elderly man named [[Mr. Fuji]] and takes in orphaned and abandoned Pokémon to take care of them; Red comments that all of the Pokémon in the house look happy - all except an angry baby {{p|Cubone}}. Reina explains that the Cubone only gets along with Mr. Fuji but is hostile toward anyone else. Red asks why, to which Reina responds it is Team Rocket's fault. | ||
She explains Cubone's story to Red: A trio of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s was poaching Pokémon near town, and captured a {{p|Mankey}}, a {{p|Raticate}}, a {{p|Sandshrew}}, and a {{p|Sandslash}}. One Grunt noticed Cubone attempting to run away, and the others almost netted it, in hopes of selling it for a high price; however, an unknown Pokémon tackled them to protect it. The Pokémon was soon revealed to be Cubone's mother, a {{p|Marowak}}, who told her child to run. Cubone was hesitant at first, but soon ran off. One of the Grunts, infuriated by Marowak's intervention, pulled out a stun baton and beat her to death. The orphaned Cubone was found by Mr. Fuji and given a loving home. | She explains Cubone's story to Red: A trio of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s was poaching Pokémon near town, and captured a {{p|Mankey}}, a {{p|Raticate}}, a {{p|Sandshrew}}, and a {{p|Sandslash}}.
