Janus looked down at the farfetch'd, "yes it was me, you don't have to sound so rude, it is not very nice and somebody could think you were not a nice pokemon," he told it and a vein started pumping on its forehead. "I'm NOT a nice pokemon! I'm here to teach you a lesson and regain the honor of farfetch'd's all over the world! We're not going to let beaten by a mere bug! You are food and nothing more and you better learn to act like it!" The farfetch'd declared full of itself. "I'm not food, I don't even really eat food, and my place is by the side of my trainer. She's old and need my protection, so please leave," Janus retorted and when the bird didn't do that, he formed a ball of electricity and readied it to throw at the leek holding bird. Farfetch'd clearly had been told what had happened last and it was ready, leaping into the sky and soaring around, making it a hard target. Janus sent his ball flying, which sprung open and formed a huge electric web which would be much harder for Farfetch'd to dodge than a little tight ball. Janus jumped down from Yakul and disappeared into the tall grass.
Astrid watched for a bit but decided Janus could handle this just fine, and she guided Yakul to a tree so they could wait it out in the shadown. The old woman's eyes sought the horizon, looking for the swift movement of a big dog, which ran at incredible speed and surely wouldn't be there, just like they shouldn't have happened to just be there the moment she visited the tower.

The battle was over before it really began, the second farfetch'd got chased away without much problem. It had been almost an exact copy of the last one, with Janus sending a couple of balls of electricity at the bird and it retaliating with some agile flying and precise hit. Farfetch'd soon learned why it was that its kin had lost this battle and it would have to swallow the ugly truth: some bugs were better than the birds which ate them
Janus was tiny but he was completely fine with it, he was just not going to be that for much longer due to all the battling he had done, his body was boiling over with energy and his tiny body would have a hard time containing it all. As he crawled back that energy bursted out and he stumbled to a halt as his body changed to be able to contain it, and support further grow. Not many of his species reached this state, but the ones who did originally would need other capabilities in what a joltik's little body could give, so it grew in size. Janus shook his head confused and trotted on when it was over, looking a bit puzzled as Astrid and Yakul looked much smaller than they usually did. "Oh my! How big you have grown!" Astrid exclaimed as he reached them and he looked at her strangely, he was not one of her grandkids so why did she say something like that? He had heard it plenty of times when kids came to visit them in her home. "You have evolved! Doesn't seem like you will be traveling on my shoulder anymore," Astrid cooed and Janus frowned as he placed his front legs on Yakul to crawl up as he used to. Yakul snorted and shoved him away with her horns, she was not going to carry him around! Janus stood as shocked by lightening when he realized what this meant, slowly his expression darkened as the full extend of the changes this would bring became clear to him, all the things he used to be able to do and be a part of, he had now grown too big for. He pouted and then disappeared in a red light as he recalled himself to his pokeball. "Janus?" Astrid said confused and then saw a flock of farfetch'd darkening the sky and decided it was time to leave the area.
She didn't go back to the city though, she was not ready for that, instead she rode to route 37 which she traveled aimlessly as the darkness fell. Her eyes found the starry sky as her thoughts once again turned to the legendary beasts she had encountered.

As Astrid made her way down route 37 she was walking straight into a trap set by one of the resident Paras looking to steal whatever food it could from any unfortunate trainer who came across it. Once she got one of her feet stuck in a small hole dug by the bug Pokemon it leaped out from a bush ready to strike as she tried to free her trapped foot. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/paras.png) A (Level 21) Paras ambushes Astrid from a nearby bush!

As the darkness fell, a sudden urge got her to call out Rita to join her. Perhaps it was because of the raticate's dark fur, or the rat's ever alertness and quick response to the unexpected, or perhaps Astrid just felt some sort of connection to the rat after their experience, although it would be strange if it was only with Rita and not also with the rest of the team. Astrid probably didn't think clearly, it was getting late and she was tired, half asleep even as Yakul carried her through the grass, snatching a bite here and there as they walked. Rita walked beside them, her nose twitching nervously. While Rita didn't notice the trap set up for them, and as Astrid wasn't walking herself it was Yakul who got her hoof stuck in the ground and stumbled, throwing Astrid off so she tumbled to the ground. Yakul bleated horrified and struggled to get back up and to their trainer and make sure she was alright after the fall. Rita panicked at the sudden motion and the movement of something striking at them, she lunged in reaction and chomped down on whatever it was several times to make sure she really got it, and then spun around and darted into the darkness.

Yes, poor poor bug, getting its nasty plan thwarted after all its hard work setting up the trap and wait for someone to fall into it. Now it was finally successful it had managed to find some who was really strong and wasn't going along with what it had planned and accepted defeat the moment Yakul got stuck in the hole. As the paras rushed forward to claim its prey it was met by Rita's sharp fangs and sent scurrying off into the darkness, while the rat too disappeared into the night.
Left behind was a panicked gogoat who was bleating horrified as her trainer groaned on the ground beside her but got up sitting. "I am alright Yakul, calm down!" Astrid reassured annoyed as her ears started to hurt from Yakul's loud bleating and struggling to get herself free and failing. The old trainer sat op and looked at her goat with a frown, "why are you not just pulling yourself out?" she asked but Yakul just continued to bleat panicked and struggle to try reach her. Astrid sighed and staggered to her feet, wincing at the pain and carefully made her way over to Yakul. The moment she touched the goat's horns she calmed down and relaxed, the grass type was panting hard after the struggle and her ears kept twitching as she looked around alert. "There is not anything keeping you stuck Yakul, just pull your leg straight up," Astrid informed her mount who pulled at her stuck leg weakly but then got distracted when something moved in the shadows.
Rita had not run far though and she too saw something sneak in on her companions, if they hadn't been visible all the time, she would have bared her teeth.

In the shrubbery the paras stomped its foot frustrated, useless peasant! How could you make a kingdom if you had no subjects? One admirer didn't really make a kingdom or a royal court and its idea had been so perfect: get its one subject to make a trap to catch more, then it would have a whole bunch who would follow its orders and who could catch more. Soon it would have a whole kingdom worth of followers who would obey its orders as subjects should do, and it would be a real kingdom and it would live in wealth and prosperity. It had been quite excited when it had seen what had been caught in the makeshift trap, those were some exotic creatures and it had been excited to have them to show off as trophies. Look what cool subjects this kingdom had! It would surely attract more who would join its rule.
Now the paras saw its dream being washed away by the stream, a unspeakable darkness came in like a vengeance of shadow and chased off its one peasant, now what? If you wanted something done you'd have to do it yourself. The paras hesitated though, it was royal and the future ruler of the mightiest kingdom the world had ever seen. It was just not certain that these prospective subjects realized that, and it wouldn't do much of an impression if it didn't have anyone to speak its cause.
It crawled forward and Yakul instantly spotted it and laid down her ears threatening it. The paras spotted some mushrooms which it on a whim collected to bring them and show its peaceful ways and win them over so that they would admire it. The unseen terror suddenly crashed through a nearby bush and threw itself at it, making the future ruler scream very un-royaly and throw the mushrooms into the air in shock.

"Why do it keep coming back?" Astrid mumbled to herself as she saw how the paras kept coming back around no matter how many times Rita had tried to chase it off. She was sure Pia easily would be able to chase it off for good but she wasn't sure she had time for that. She glanced at Yakul who was still flailing around and therefore failed at pulling her leg free, the pokeball containing the rest of her team were in the saddlebags but it was rather hard to come by them now.
Rita chomped down on the paras but not as effective as before, and the paras retaliated with its claws forcing the rat to stumble back and made Astrid frown. This looked to be a bad matchup, and as Rita stumbled and fell in her attempt to run off as she always did, the old woman's frown deepened. "Alright, if you want to stay around, you are going to stay around, whether you like it or not," Astrid mumbled and pulled a pokeball from her pocket, it was good she always had the basics on her if needed in a tight spot. Now she just ran into the problem on how she was going to try catch the paras, as she was not a thrower. She placed the pokeball in front of Yakul and grabbed her horn, "now listen, kick that ball so it hits the paras!" She ordered her gogoat while thinking about it strongly so that her wish got conveyed to her pokemon. Yakul snorted and threw her head up, and gave the ball a swift kick with a free front hoof.
Paras lifted its head regally when Rita fell, that's what you get from going up against a ruler! It was in charge for a reason and soon they would realize it and follow its guidance towards prosperity and wealth, they would all benefit from this!

The paras looked down on one of its future subordinates, "do you know your place now?" It asked sternly and Rita glanced back at it. It softened and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll protect you and you will blossom under my rule." It didn't see the crazy look she sent it as something whacked into its side and it spun around with its claws raised, "don't touch me!" It declared aggravated and got sucked into the pokeball.
"Hopefully that will leave us in peace now," Astrid said dryly when the pokeball confirmed the capture, and she turned her attention back to Yakil. "Now Honey, calm down and pull your leg free, it cannot be so hard," she said in a mixture of kindness and sterness, she didn't have the patience for this anymore, it was probably about time for them to go back and find a bed for the night. Yakul did as ordered and had she been a bit more aware of other's expectations of you, or lived in more than just here and now, she would probably have been embarrassed. Now she was just happy to be free and that Astrid was okay, she shook her body and gave Astrid some gentle nudges with her nose before she began grazing.
It would have been it if it hadn't been for those paras, they were not done with the old woman yet. Perhaps it was the minion from before who came to look for its master, or perhaps someone who had heard rumors and wanted to check them out? Who knew, whatever the reason another paras stuck its face into the clearing.
