Make your way up the tower, fighting the Sages and their Bellsprout and catching whatever Pokémon here you want. Keep your Water-types and Rock-types away from these things, because Razor Leaf will hit them fairly hard!
One of the sages at the end has a Hoothoot waiting for you, which may catch you off-guard at first (though it isn’t that big of a deal).
After you get to the top, you’ll see your red haired Rival up there talking to the master elder guy. He just beat him in a fight, got the TM he wanted, and used an Escape Rope to get out of there. What a jerk! Now it’s your turn to take on the Elder though, for the TM you want. (There’s an Escape Rope on the other side of him that you don’t want to forget!)

His Pokémon are at a much higher level than what you’ve been fighting, so it’ll be a good challenge for you. Watch out for that Hoothoot, because it has good defenses and can put you to sleep!
After beating Elder Li, he’ll give you TM70 Flash. You can teach that to your Pokémon to light up the Dark Cave you ran across earlier, but it’s not really worth it just yet. It’s not a great move, but it can be handy lowering accuracy if you feel like teaching it to someone. Just don’t count on it being a permanent addition to any moveset.
Now might be a good time to use that Escape Rope you just picked up from the side of the Elder. You didn’t pick it up? What? Well now’s a good time to pick it up and use it!
