Now I was going to have the update special be on Tuesday but can't as personal issues have got in the way, so instead I will do two updates today and three tomorrow. Is that okay? I'm sorry if I've inconvenienced anyone with this sudden change, so anyway I hope you lot enjoy the story, and don't mind the change of schedule.

Noelle finally made it to the city. After she left the swamp in the early morning, it took her a whole half day's journey to arrive at the City, it was 4:00pm when she arrived and she began looking around the town. Shortly after making her way around she noticed the uncomfortable stares of many different individuals and soon figured out why, she looked a mess, she was covered in sweat and swamp water from head to toe, her hair was a mess and so were her clothes. She decided that after going to a hotel to clean up, she would find a clothes shop and buy something new.

"Okay first to find a hotel..." She said before walking about for the better part of an hour looking for any semblance of a vacant hotel until eventually she found a tiny hotel which had a little run down front sign that red. 'Star Inn' She stared at it for a minute before walking inside only to find a woman at the counter.

"Hello how may I help you?" The woman smiled.

Noelle felt mesmerised by the woman's wonderful smile, she looked young about 30 at the oldest and had black hair tied in a bunch, she was also wearing a pink wool sweater and brown skirt. "Um I'm looking to see if I can rent a room?" Noelle smiled.

"Oh okay then well if it's a room you're looking for then we have just the thing!" She smiled as her bare feet pattered across the floor at a blinding pace, grabbing Noelle and dragging her through the door to the right. "You're the first customer I've had in a while." She smiled eagerly.

"Um okay then?" Noelle replied.

Noelle was dragged to a room to that looked decently sized and looked moderately well taken care of she felt an uncomfortable feeling fill her chest as the woman stared at her to see her reaction. "I'll take it!?" She tried to yell with a voice full of enthusiasm.

"Great!" The woman yelled full of excitement. "I'm Claire and I will be your carer." She said eagerly.

After a little while Noelle had a bath in the female baths that was available to the residents which just accounted to her. She walked out and saw Claire sitting down having a heated conversation on the phone, it sounded like something about debt collecting, after a little she noticed Noelle was watching her. "I'm so sorry did I frighten you?" She asked gently.

"Um no, I'm sorry for eavesdropping, are you um in trouble?" She asked Claire.

"I guess you could say that..." Claire said wearing a wry smile before she began to explain. "You see I used to run this inn with my husband, at least until he passed away. I shortly found out after that how hard it was to run an inn all alone and found my way into debt, it was then that my daughter became the Gym Leader of this town to try to pay off the debt." She feigned a smile.

"Wait your daughter is the gym leader!?" Noelle yelled in surprise.

"Yes." Claire replied calmly. "Her name is Alicia and well she is my daughter, though I haven't seen much of her over the last two years since my husband died and well..."

"Well what?" Noelle asked.

"You see she is undefeated in this town since she took over and as such has spent almost all of her time at the Gym, despite this however she can't seem to earn anywhere near enough to cover our debt." She looked down. "We only have 2 weeks to pay off 1 million Poke dollars." She looked down uncomfortably. "Since my daughter is so strong challengers have started to become few and far between as well, making it even harder to earn money."

Noelle spat up, 1 million Poke dollars was a lot of money, especially if they only have 2 weeks, she began to panic until Claire said one more thing. "Well there is one way to earn it but..."

"But what?"

"In this town there is a place called the Battle Tower in this Tower are seven powerful trainers each of which who will take up a floor, if you defeat all seven and reach the top you will get given 10 million Poke dollars." She said looking hopeless.

"Then why don't you or your daughter enter?" Noelle asked.

"Even if I did enter I would be beaten really quickly as I'm weak, someone who is or was a Gym Leader aren't allowed to enter however..." She wore an angry look. "That rule was only imposed by the owner a little while after Alicia became a Gym Leader and there is a reason for that..."

"And that would be?" Noelle asked.

"The owner of the contest is a man named Clarence, he is an unkempt nasty individual who wants to own this town, he also has been known to make people owe him so that he can get them to do whatever he wants. He offered to pay off my debt but only if I owe him." She said cringing. "That is something I will not do!" She yelled.

Noelle thought for a second and realised something. "Your daughter is she stronger than the Battle Tower trainers?" She asked.

"Yeah much stronger..." Claire replied.

"Okay then so if I win against them will I get strong enough to beat your daughter?" She smiled.

"Maybe..." Claire said apprehensively.

It was then that Noelle had decided. "Then I'll win against the Battle Tower and get you your money and then I will defeat your daughter and earn her Gym Panties!" Noelle yelled.

Claire wore a stunned look as Noelle set off to challenge the Battle Tower!
