{{Header Nav|game=Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen}}The situation in Pokémon Tower is grave indeed, but with the Silph Scope, you should be able to dig up whatever is causing all the trouble. You don't have to do anything special with the scope, but just make sure you have it with you when you enter the tower. The Silph Scope automatically identifies ghosts and makes it possible to engage them in combat.

If you cleared out the tower earlier, skip to the bottom to finally identify the ghost that was blocking the way to the final floor and clear out the Rocket grunts.

With the scope in hand, you can fight and try to capture these astral aggressors. Many special attacks don't affect Ghost-type Pokémon at all, so use caution in battle. You'll have better luck catching a Gastly or a Haunter if you use Great Balls instead of regular Poké Balls.}}
With the '''Silph Scope''' in your hot little hands, it's time to head back to Pokémon Tower and figure out what the heck is going on. The quickest path is to go back to [[../Route 7/]], hand the guard the tea from the lady in Celadon to end the baffling "Thirsty Guard" crisis, and then cut through [[../Saffron City/]] on your way East to [[../Lavender Town/]].
On your way through Saffron City, you might just want to stop in at the Poké Mart and grab a '''Max Repel'''. The Repel is for the Tower, where you'll be assaulted by Gastlies, Gastlies, an occasional Haunter, and more Gastlies, but if you plan to fight some Gastlies it might be best to use Pidgeotto.
When your rival gets in your way on the second floor, he'll pick a fight as usual. His team depends on your starter Pokémon so it may vary from player to player.
Pokémon with Psychic attacks like {{bp|Kadabra}} and {{bp|Drowzee}}, are really powerful here against these Ghosts, as they also have the Poison type. Farfetch'd is also a strong option because it is immune to all of Gastly's moves except {{bpm|Curse}}. But those are few and far between, so if you don't want to deal with lots of random encounters, just pop open the Max Repel... ''After'' you catch a {{bp|Gastly}} for yourself.
Addition: If you have Pokemon with Ghost or Dark type moves (such as Bite), they work pretty well against the Ghosts as well. After catching your own Ghost type here, you can train it up a little and use it to wipe out the ghosts.

When your rival gets in your way on the second floor, he'll pick a fight as usual.<br/>Depending on your starter pokemon he may have an alternate lineup(a level 25 Pidgeotto, a level 23 Gyarados/Exeggcute/Growlithe, a level 22 Growlithe/Gyarados/Exeggcute, a level 20 Kadabra, and the Pokémon he chose at the beginning of the game). Gyarados is absent if you select Charmander and your rival will have a Level 23 Growlithe and a Level 22 Exeggcute in his lineup. Exeggcute is absent if you select Squirtle and your rival will have a Level 23 Gyarados and a Level 22 Growlithe in his lineup. Growlithe is absent if you select Bulbasaur and your rival will have a Level 23 Exeggcute and a Level 22 Gyarados in his lineup.

Ghosts are completely invulnerable to the two most common offensive skill types: Normal and Fighting. Ground-type attacks such as Dig are rendered useless by Gastly's Levitate. Pokémon with Psychic attacks like {{bp|Kadabra}} and {{bp|Drowzee}}, are really powerful. Farfetch'd is also a strong option because it is immune to all of Gastly's moves except curse. But those are few and far between, so if you don't want to deal with lots of random encounters, just pop open the Max Repel... ''After'' you catch a {{bp|Gastly}} for yourself.
The leader of the Channelers has broken free of the dark power that held her, and created a reusable healing zone on the 5th floor. Make sure you heal and save while you have the opportunity, since there are a number of surprises ahead.
Addition: If you have Pokemon with Ghost or Dark type moves (such as Bite), they work pretty well against the Ghosts as well. After catching your own ghost type here, you can train it up a little and use it to wipe out the ghosts.

The first surprise is at the stairway to the top floor, where the Ghost that you needed the '''Silph Scope''' for finally reveals itself as a level 30 {{bp|Marowak}}. Make sure you have some strong, non-Psychic Pokémon for this fight as you have to beat it! Unfortunately, you can't catch it, even with a Masterball, as it dodges the ball every time.

After you've bested those foes, you'll find the missing Mr. Fuji. He'll thank you for your efforts with a gift of a '''Poké Flute''', which you can use to awaken any sleeping Pokémon, and which finally makes that {{bpm|Rest}} skill useful.
You can also use it to wake up that sleeping {{bp|Snorlax}} that was blocking the passage between [[../Route 11/]] outside of [[../Vermilion City/]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Route 12-13|Route 12]] south of [[../Lavender Town/]]. But first, let's pay a visit to [[../Saffron City/]].
As a side note, make sure to come back and use the Itemfinder in the place where Mr. Fuji stood to unearth a Soothe Bell.
===Items===
*Soothe Bell (hidden and "buried" on the spot where Mr. Fuji stood, unearthed with the ItemFinder)
The Soothe Bell is one of a few items that are hidden in a special way. Items like this can only be obtained by using the ItemFinder in the spot where they are "buried."
{{bp|Gastly}}, and its evolutions, {{bp|Haunter}} and {{bp|Gengar}}, are the only Ghost Pokémon you'll meet, at least until you beat the Elite Four. Ghost Pokémon are immune to all Normal and Fighting attacks and are not affected by Ground attacks due to their {{bpa|Levitate}} ability.
While Gastly and Haunter hold somewhat weak stats, its final evolution, Gengar, is quite powerful, with strong Speed and Special Atk stats, but may need some TM's to supplement its weak moveset. Be aware that evolving Gengar will require trading.
As a final side note, if you plan to catch a Gastly, make sure it is level 15 or lower, otherwise it will be deprived of a powerful move, {{bpm|Hypnosis}}, and its ability to combo with {{bpm|Dream Eater}}.}}
{{bp|Cubone}} is a small Ground Pokémon with a lot of kick. It is somewhat rare to find here in the Tower, but catching it will be quite rewarding. Its moves, {{bpm|Bone Club}}, and {{bpm|Bonemerang}}, are strong Ground moves and are exclusive to this Pokémon and its evolution, {{bp|Marowak}}.
After you've bested those foes, you'll find the missing Mr. Fuji. He'll thank you for your efforts with a gift of a '''Poké Flute''', which you can use to awaken any sleeping Pokémon, and which finally makes that Rest skill useful.
Cubone can learn quite a few TM's, and will make an excellent addition to your team, especially if you chose not to raise a Nidoking/Nidoqueen. Be aware, however, that its health is somewhat low, but it compensates for this with strong defenses, and not too shabby attack stats.}}
