Trainer Tower: Difference between revisions

|location=North of [[Quest Island]]

'''Trainer Tower''' (Japanese: '''トレーナータワー''' ''Trainer Tower'') is a facility in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} located to north of [[Quest Island]] in the [[Sevii Islands]]. The area where it is located is the most northern location in Quest Island. It is similar to [[Battle Tower]]s in that {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can be challenged in a variety of different {{pkmn|battle}} types consecutively over a number of floors to reach the top; though the key concept of Trainer Tower is speed. Each battle mode has a default time and if beaten, offers a rare in-game item as a reward. Unlike Battle Towers, the {{player}}'s {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} will not be healed between battles, though recovery items such as {{DL|Revive|Revive}}s and {{DL|Potion|Potion}}s can be used both during and between battles. If necessary, the player can return to the entrance to heal their party at the [[Pokémon Center]], though this will waste more time in comparison to using items.

[[File:Trainer Tower R.png|thumb|200px|right|Trainer Tower R]]

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the Trainer Tower is controlled by '''R''' (Japanese: '''ｒ'''), a computer that was created by [[Carr]]. It is equipped with 3D projectors, different sorts of weapons, as well as restraint system that is almost completely immune to all kinds of Pokémon [[move]]s.

R held {{adv|Professor Oak}} and {{adv|Green}}'s parents captive in order to lure {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, and Green to it. After being insulted by Blue, R angrily attacked him and held {{cat|Blue's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} off. However, Blue had his last Pokémon, his {{TP|Blue|Porygon2}}, infiltrate its network from the inside and shut it down with {{m|Zap Cannon}}, freeing Professor Oak and Green's parents.

After {{adv|Giovanni}} succeeds in trapping {{adv|Mewtwo}} with the M2 Bind restraint armor, R comes back online to explain its use and prevent Porygon2 from moving with an virtual lock. As it gloats, Giovanni notes that it was created by Carr, which explains its rude, crass, and arrogant personality.

Eventually, Red, Blue, and Green free Mewtwo from the M2 Bind by using [[Saur|their]] [[Blue's Charizard|starter]] [[Blasty|Pokémon]]'s ultimate attacks: {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. Like they had planned, the attacks are able to break the armor that R had claimed to be immune to any kind of Pokémon attacks, and then cancel each other out before they could reach and hurt Mewtwo. Once freed, Mewtwo uses its {{m|Psywave|spoon}} to slice the tower in two, destroying it.
