The boy shivered as he trudged outside once more. He was glad the weather decided not to snow, but it was still cold, and starting to get dark. "Winter's gettin' old real fast." He stopped at a signpost that informed him of the path ahead. "'La Première Route', A hike through the countryside, huh?" He sighed to himself, knowing this would be the first of many. Emen reminded himself that it would be good for him. He should be excited. He needed to get out of the house, experience the world. That's why he was here. And, he wasn't alone now either... The junior trainer reached for his one Pokeball that wasn't empty and smiled. He was on his way now. With a push of a button and a flick of his wrist, he released his first Pokémon for him to meet in person. <What? Where am I? Who'r you?> The Trapinch looked up at her new trainer with a bit of confusion. <You're a bit short for a scientist... Oh, I get it, you're my human aren't you?> She scuttled around Emen in a circle, inspecting him as if he was an item. <Well, I guess you'll have to do, huh? Still young, impressionable, don't look too much of a bad guy. Sure! I'll keep you.>Emen blinked at his, companion. Of course, being a normal human, he didn't understand anything the bug just said. She seemed, enthusiastic though, running around and chattering to herself. At least he thought it was a she. "You need a name, but a good one. Not something silly... Something intimidating." He hummed to himself in thought as the Trapinch stared up at him, clearly not amused with that idea. "Hera. That'll be it!"<What, you pick my name for me? Don't I have a say!? Why, that, it's just...> But Emen had already taken off down the road.'Hera' sighed to herself and gave chase, catching up to her trainer. Hopefully this won't be so bad.

Eyes glazed over, drool seeping out the corner of it's mouth, Paras was in a bad way. Mushrooms had nearly wiped it's mind completely.
Every so often it had flashes of it's old self. It shuddered again, curling tighter against itself.

Emen slowed his pace when he found a rather large cluster of fungi just sticking out of the snow like a sore thumb. That was odd. His experiences involving snow was limited, but he didn't think something like that should be there in this temperature.
Before he could act however, his new friend immediately dashed away from the path to inspect the 'mushrooms'. < Definitely a Pokemon... Paras, right?> She muttered to herself as she lightly bit down on the largest mushroom she could find and pulled, attempting to pull out the ailing Pokemon from under the snow.
Once he got a good look at it, Emen blinked. This was a Paras, right? He remembered them having two mushrooms at average. This one had... too many to count.The kid checked his Pokedex in an attempt to learn more. He was still learning to navigate through it, but Emen was confident he'd get it memorized eventually.
Hera was busy being attentive to the wild Pokemon, finally letting go of it and inspecting it. <Well? Wake up. Say something.>

Paras sleepily opened his eyes, looking on the pokemon in front of him....wait, why did it have such a big mouth? Oh god did it want to eat his mushies? But they were his pride and joy.
WAAAAH, DON`T EAT ME!!! DON`T EAT MY MUSHIES PLEASE I BEG YOU!!
He cried out, placing his claws at the Trapinch, shaking it a little while yelling. They had to leave his mushies alone. How could he get drugged without them?

Expecting a 'thank you', Hera was taken by surprise when it suddenly got a hold of him. <Would you let go of me!? I just saved you from freezing to death!> She yelled, not wanting to hurt the clearly delusional Paras. But if this kept up...
Emen was still trying to work with the Pokedex when he looked up to check on the two, and saw the Paras doing... something, to his Trapinch. "Wait, is it attacking? Or hugging, or..." Whatever it was, he didn't like it! "Okay, that's it! Hera, get away from that thing! Bite him!"
It wasn't attacking him, the poor thing was just completely high. Maybe she could help still. Obeying her orders, the Trapinch bashes the delirious Paras with her head to break free, then, when it was solid ground, Hera lunged forth, jaws open, and clamped down on the biggest fungi she could find on the insect. She bit down, intending on tearing the parasitic mushroom clean off. He had plenty more...

Paras watched in horror as the Trapinch used Bite....ON HER MUSHIES!!! He looked at the Mushroom in Trapinch`s mouth, just staring. Then, something inside his head snapped.
LEAVE MY MUSHIES ALONE!!!
He yelled, before charging towards it as fast as it could, swiping at the Trapinch with his claws, using one of his basic moves. SCRATCH.

The Trapinch held her ground, taking the damage without a flinch. Speed wasn't her strength. Strength was her strength. Still, Hera wasn't used to pain, and that stung. <You, you hurt me! How dare you!>
The trainer watched as the sluggish Paras stared at the damage done to itself, then go completely berserk, madly clawing back at his Pokemon. Yes, this was definitely a fight now, and Emen didn't intend on losing. He glanced at his Pokedex to check for other moves Hera held. Flail, that sounds like it could do something. "Hera, Flail attack! Don't get discouraged!"
She spit out the bloated mushroom that she ripped from the Paras. Hera didn't wanna get diseased as well. Happy to comply now that she was struck, the antlion lunged forth once more, biting down on another mushroom. This time, she lifted the wild Pokemon into the air, and then began shaking the body wildly in an attempt to rip off another mushroom.
::Trapinch:: Slightly P'O'ed! Retaliates with Flail!

The Paras was able to jump away from the Flail before it could do any real damage. Those Mushies were his and his alone! There was no way he'd allow some strange, big-mouthed Pokémon to come at him and just eat them right off! No, not a chance. But at the rate this battle was going, for the first move, he believed that defending his mushrooms was going to be a piece of cake. Just like he was taking a popsicle from a baby Pokémon. Realizing this was his chance to retalliate, he quickly shook himself hard, allowing many purple spores to come flying off of his body and float around the air. The Poison Powder was an attempt at poisoning his attacker...a little Poison ought to teach him not to mess with his Mushies! ::Paras:: Dodged Flail! Used Poison Powder! [Dodges: 1]

Just when Hera thought she had the insect between her jaws, he managed to evade. <What!? Get back here and let me help you!> She seemed to put much emphasis and frustration in the word 'help'. Before she could react, the Paras began to emit toxic spores. The aggressive Trapinch was ready for another attack when Emen shouted out at her. "Stay back! I'm sure that's poison!" Hera growled at herself with that command. She wanted to attack now, but she saw his point. Getting poisoned now would only make the battle much harder, and maybe fights afterwards if she didn't get cured. So, she waited, leaving her mouth slightly open to display her jaws at the drugged Paras. Emen wanted that Poison Powder to fade out before making another attack. Dodges Poison Powder! (I'ma count this as one of my evades.) Skips attack of opportunity.

The poison powder faded out and Paras was surprised that the Trapinch had not attacked him. But he was still very frustrated with the fact that pokemon had eaten his Mushroom and thus he was going to make the Trapinch pay. >You eat my mushies! I will make you pay for eating them!< He said before he released a small cloud around the Trapinch... This time he attempted to paralyze the poor target with the Stun Spores that he released. He then stood his ground and awaited what the Trapinch would do now, keeping a distance from the pokemon... >Teaches you to ever eat someone's mushies!< He snapped at the Trapinch while he held his ground. ::Paras:: Hit by nothing. Used Stun Spore on Trapinch

The idea of holding back wasn't sitting right with Emen, or Hera. This fight was dragging out, and he wanted it finished quick. Before he could make a command, the Paras unleashed a different spore into the air, targeting his Trapinch once more. This time, it landed, and Hera uncontrollably fell to the ground without provocation. Yep, paralyzed. "Get up! That doesn't mean anything, you can do this! You're in charge!" Having a few words of encouragement, Hera slowly stood back up on all fours, though it was clear she was having difficulty. "Just bite him again! And act tough! Keep trying to get to him."
Hera shook a bit of snow off of her body before staring down the Paras again. Emen was making some sense, this poor creature was acting quite fearful.<You think that's going to stop me? I can lie in wait for days for my prey to make a mistake, and then... I have my teeth clamped down on their throat, or... you could say mushrooms.> She smiled at him with a rather creepy stare, mouth hanging wide open, before lunging once more, biting down on whatever she could grab for at this point. Attacking took much more effort with her paralyzed, but it wouldn't stop her this time.
::Trapinch:: Paralyzed! Uses another bite attack!

Paras tried to block the bite with his claws, but it ended in him getting his claws inside the Trapinch`s mouth instead. But that was not going to stop him. Oh no, not at all. This trapinch had eaten his mushies!!! sure, thye tasted like Pickle but they were still his!!! He pulled the Trapinch towards him, about to do a scratch attack, but then something prevented him from striking. HE HAD FLINCHED!!! God darnit, why did it have to happen now? Hit by Bite FLINCHED Note to other Mods: Paras. high on Mushies and very protective of them.

It flinched! This would be over quick. Trapinch attacks could be devastating, and Emen knew he only needed a few more hits before this was over. "Keep it up! Another bite attack."
Hera smirked at her handiwork, seeing the Paras cringe was quite a delight after all the trouble it was giving her. She lunged forth again, hoping to finish this with one more strike, but fell to the ground halfway, her muscles not responding. <You're kidding me.> She complained as she tried to scramble back up, leaving her open for retaliation.
::Trapinch:: Interrupted by paralysis.

Paras watched in horror as the Trapinch came closer for another bite, when it suddenly fell to the ground. Hell yeah, that was what he was talking about!!
THAT IS WHAT YOU GET FOR DAMAGING MY MUSHIES!!!
He yelled, swiping at the Trapinch with another scratch attack. He were maybe a little bit stronger, but those bites were effective.
::Paras:: Used Scratch

Hera was ready to finish her work when the Paras clawed at her beautiful face again. The nerve! She staggered once more, trying to regain her balance as she growled in frustration once more. <Stop doing that! That's really annoying!> His attacks were starting to show on her body, the scratches were leaving marks. Although she wouldn't admit it, his strikes were more than just annoying. There wasn't much else Emen could do, apart from ordering Hera to continue chewing on the Paras. "Bite! Bite! Bite! You're close!"With that, she shook her feet, slowly preparing for another strike. She didn't want to be eviscerated by that mean, nasty, Paras' claws again. No, time for payback. Hera dashed forward, colliding with her enemy as she bit down on whatever that looked like a claw or mushroom. Even more P'O'ed! Sustaining minor injuries. Uses Bite.

The Paras began to wobble a little, clearly high from the the mushrooms on his back. He wanted to keep them and give them to no one else. NO ONE ELSE BUT HIM! But would this Trapinch care about property respect? NO, she just kept attacking and the Paras did not want that.
<These mushrooms are mine! Not yours! Find yourself some Cake or something!> He shouted. He was angry, fumigating even. He was so ticked off at he did not notice the Trapinch come and bite him. Another mushroom lost. <Nooooooo! Why?! Why are you picking on my mushrooms? They're mine?! Your jaws are big enough to bite a popsicle, yet you choose my shrooms. You'll pay for this!> So Paras rushed towards the Trapinch, trying to give it another scratch attack.

Hera stepped back and braced herself for any retaliation. The next swipes that Paras left on her stung worse than the last. <Look, you started this! I find you wasting away, freezing to death, and this is how I get repaid?> Okay, so maybe she left out the detail where she made the first real attack, but that thing was scaring her earlier!
Flail did more damage the more injured the user was, right? Maybe that would help. Hera took much more damage since the last time he tried it. "Flail him around some! Show it you're strength!" Emen shouted.
<Oh gladly...> Once more, the Trapinch clamped down on on a mushroom, and lifted the wild Pokemon in the air. As before, she began wildly swinging him around, with much more vigor than last time.
::Trapinch:: Takes another hit. Attempts to Flail.

Paras yelled as he were flailed around like a Popsicle on a pickle. What did that mean anyway? He screamed as he were flailed around by his mushies. No one dared to use his mushies against him!!! As he were flailed around, he tried to scratch the Trapinch with his claws. But he were getting weaker. he would maybe not survive so many more rounds of these attacks.

Yes! Even with Paras scratching her back, Hera didn't back down, finishing her devastating attack by throwing Paras into the ground. Emen knew he made the right choice for his starter. "Finish him! Bite him!" The boy brought out an empty Pokeball as he issued his command. No, this one wasn't getting away, not after the trouble it caused. She gladly obeyed, moving in for the finishing blow, when her ailment kicked in once more, causing Hera to fall down helplessly again. The Trapinch knew she could take a few hits more than the Paras, but this was still getting tiresome. <Look, you've already lost... You can't beat me in time and I'll beat you. Just, just call it quits okay? It'll be easier.> She struggled to get back up as she went on. <I promise I won't take any more of your mushrooms if you do.> He was obsessed with them, and she was hoping he'd agree so she could save her face from another scratching. Paralyzed! Hit by Scratch. (Sort of) pleading for a compromise.

Paras looked at the Trapinch. He blinked. Did it just say that? No more hurting the mushies? That was good for him. But to him, after he eat one of them, everything else tastes like Chocolate. Sure, as long as you stay away from my mushies. But wow, you are though. I don`t think i would have survived two more bites from you.He said, laying down on the ground, looking at Trapinch. He had spoken the truth. He would not have survived much longer. But now, all he wanted was a long rest. Called it quits Trapinch got 1lv for defeating Paras trough battle and persuasion Paras lowered its guard. Catch it?
