When the Paras showed up, it released a cloud of yellow spores that made him sneeze. He stood still as he was trying to hold his facial muscles from sneezing more than once. When he was finally ready to talk again, he replied, "Stay warm? Some Pokemon have a layer of furs or fat around them to keep warm." He paused as he knew dang well these grass types don't grow fur or have fat protection. "Maybe you can use fallen feathers from flying Pokemon to stay warm, or dig underground where it would be warmer? What about eating nuts? They have a lot of energy to keep you warm too."
Seeing that another Paras had appeared. Penelope fished into her bag to find another Adrenaline Orb. She wasted no time to tell her Diggersby to "Look out!" before tossing it. Not that he would be moving away, as he was still trying to hold onto his sneezing. Thankfully the weather wasn't hailing, otherwise he would be shivering AND sneezing!

The paras pouted and looked down its own fur-less side, "I don't have any fur to keep me warm, aren't there really any other things you can do?" It asked disappointed, and it looked even more discouraged as Potato suggested it should use feathers. "And get close to the birds?! Never! They will just peck my eyes out, do you know how crazy they are? Or if I'm wearing their feathers, someone else will mistake me for being a bird and then retaliate on me! No way!"It thought about the other suggestions and tried loosely to scrape a bit on the ground, when Penelope called out her warning. Another paras came rushing in just like the first and Potato sent it flying too. The first one got so surprised a cloud of purple spores bursted from its shrooms, Potato was ready this time and covered his nose and mouth until they had cleared. The second paras came stumbling in laughingly, "I'll never! I thought I was the fastest around here, but darn you are fast!" It exclaimed to Potato and waved a claw to the other paras. "Try see if you can keep up with me now!" It challenged and darted around, scurrying closer and then jumped away from Potato, giving him some small bites when it saw the chance. The first paras watched for a bit but then decided it needed the diggersby's attention back and crawled over and carelessly waved its claws around. "Do you think these can dig a hole? The ground has really been hard!" It demanded to know from him. Wild Encounter

"No, no. I said fallen feathers. For some reason, these birds lose feathers every now and then. Just hide and keep an eye on them if they shed feathers or something," Potato explained himself again, but the problem might be the bugs were fearful of the flying type Pokemon. "Now, who's going to retaliate on you?"
Potato paused as he was holding a sneeze again. "You'll still be the fastest once we eventually leave here. My trainer wanted to stay here for some reason." He didn't understand, but decided to remain friendly. "Well, what are your pincers for if they're not for digging? Maybe you can ask other Pokemon to dig around for you? I am sure there's still time?"
"How about this, since I am faster than you now, maybe my feet can soften the ground for you to dig later? My feet might be big enough to stir up the ground." He did not wait for them to reply, before darting from his position toward one of the Paras again.

"You're right!" The first paras exclaimed, "they are littering everywhere and never picking up after themselves! The world would be a better place without them, don't you think?"It sent the diggersby a weird look when he asked who'd retaliate on it, "everyone who hates birds because they think I'm one?" It asked, "you know, I'd really would like to tell those flying monsters a thing or two, but I'd be dead if I tried. I know others want that too, and if I'm looking like a bird on the ground they think I'll be an easy target and take their anger out on me!"The two paras exchanged looks but otherwise didn't interact with each other, they both rather wanted Potato's attention as he was strong and friendly. They ran into their own species all the time anyway, but Potato was special. The first paras looked at it claws and tried to dig a bit in the hard ground, "are you sure? I thought they were too break the roots open and to defend myself," it said hesitantly. It lowered the claws again and watched as waited while the other paras talked with the diggersby. Potato did try be the fastest but right this time his legs froze up and he fell forward instead of running, making the newly arrived Paras much faster this time. "You call that speed?! It was running not falling!" It taunted teasingly and ran around him to show off. The powders which it released unknowingly didn't bother Potato this time. He got his feet under control and showed that he was indeed the fastest as he ran into the paras and sent it rolling over the ground. "Woah! You are really the fastest!" It exclaimed and then ran off again. "How would your running soften the ground? And why would it even help to bury myself in dirt?" The first paras demanded to know. Another paras came crawling in and said calmly, "it does sound like a strange thing to do yes, I have heard about burying in leaves but not the ground. Its cold."The first paras sent it a bit of annoyed look, it was the one who was talking with Potato, why did all the others keep coming and mingling? Wild Encounter

The Diggersby tried to run fast the first time, but whether it was the paralytic powders or the icy temperature, his feet weren't ready to run. He fell backward as he hollered a "Oh wait!" at the Paras. When he finally did dashed toward the partner Paras, it ran off after praising his speed.
"Well, it's a little late to be burying under leaves now. I'm sure any leaves you can find are buried under the snow." Potato answered, trying to keep it reasonable. "When I run, my feet moves the snow underneath, and with enough times, maybe I can move the dirt under, but I would have to be kicking and moving the same spot a lot." He paused a bit. "Maybe this wasn't as great idea as I had thought."
When a new Paras showed up, Potato was wondering if the original Paras would be filling in the conversation. When he was ready to do another Quick Attack again on the new Paras, he charged forward and grinned. When he got a chance, he asked, "How does your... Paras friends? Colony? Families? Prepare for winter?"

The first paras waited impatiently while Potato did a polite run and greatly out sped the paras he was racing when he first got kicked himself up into gear. It tapped one of its small feet until he returned and gave it some attention again, it had been here first after all, and it wanted to know how to keep warm. It nodded eagerly when Potato agreed that his idea could have been better, "yes yes, but what would you do instead? If the leaves are buried and wet, the ground cold and I can't keep running forever, how am I supposed to keep warm?" It asked and began stepping in place as it began to feel cold again. The new arrival, who had been ignored completely by the first paras but it wasn't getting the hint and just forced its way into the conversation. "I know some prepare for the winter and make dense and gather food to last the cold," it offered cheerfully and the first paras glared at it, "that's a bit too late now, isn't it?" It snapped and the second nodded unbothered. "That's true," it said and then squealed as the diggersby slammed into it and threw it into the surrounding forest. "Thanks! What an idiot," the first paras said and looked expectantly at Potato for what his suggestion was for what it should do. It looked thoughtful when he asked about the paras community's preparations. "I'm not sure actually, I left my parents a long time ago while it was still warm, and the other paras I have met has either been stupid or had a lot of complicated suggestions I couldn't use for anything. I have heard suggestions of making a den, or stuffing yourself and burying yourself and sleep the winter away, but as I said before, that's a bit too late now." It explained and then looked down. "I know I was wrong to not take the warnings seriously, but what can I do now?" It admitted. Soemthing crashed through the undergrowth and a paras which had almost white eyes and was foaming around the mouth came scrambling into the clearing. "FIGHT ME!" it screamed and the first paras groaned, "ugh, not one of those again. I don't get why so many paras are so stupid! It seems like the longer there goes and the older they are, the less brain they got!"The new arrival ran in an uneven gait at Potato, flailing its claws wildly. Wild Encounter

Potato nodded and thought quietly. What would he would if he was a Paras and needed to find a home in this kind of freezing weather? He needed more time to think, so he was trying to stall a bit. "Why did you leave your parents? Do all Paras do that? Or is that a personal thing?" Potato wasn't sure if this was a thing as a species, like young Pidgey leaving their nests eventually. Some Pokemon stay together, some move away from their parents eventually.
"Well, let's see what we can do now. We both figured out a lot of things are late now." He hummed. "Can you join some Paras just to survive the winter? Maybe you can make new friends along the way." Potato don't know if the Paras species would be the kind of Pokemon to accept strangers into their group. Sometimes, a Pidgeotto or Pidgeot would take in a stray Pidgey, or a bug Pokemon mother taking in stray species of her kind.
He made no comment on the Paras being dumb, as he don't have the answer to that either. He did take on the newcomer Paras though. "Well, I'll fight you!--" He shouted, and then began charging for another Quick Attack. "HOT POTATO INCOMING!"

The small fungus blinked as it listened to Potato and thought about the question. The howling winds that swirled around them and caused Paras to shiver seemed to make it question itself. Why had it originally left its parents? Why didn’t it choose to stay with them longer? It was something that all Paras did around the time that Paras had left home with its parents. It just made sense. “I was of age.” The wild Pokemon explained with shrug as it tapped the littered floor underfoot and glanced around the area nervously. At least Potato was willing to listen. It helped Paras relax. Though the more aggressive Paras that appeared only caused the orbed Paras’ guard to raise once more. “I WON’T LEAVE UNTIL YOU DEFEAT ME!” The older and newer Paras screamed. Something about the almost vacant expression in its eyes seemed to indicate that this Paras was slowly losing its mind. The fungus that clung to its back slowly burrowed inside and hijacked what little brains that Paras even had to begin with. “Most Paras aren’t very…hospitable…after a certain age.” The Paras sighed and gestured towards the new Paras that was rushing at a very odd gait after Potato. As Potato charged forward, something seemed to click inside of his limbs. The paralysis seized him, causing his muscles and joints to lock up on the spot, and made Potato all but collapse on the ground in front of the two Paras. The newcomer laughed and jumped around Potato erratically. “You call this a fight?!” It howled, kicking up bits of leaf litter and scattering it as it went. A bright green beam of light surrounded the wild fungus then shot from its body, hitting Potato, and zapping a bit of health from the large rabbit’s body. The orbed fungus turned away from its ‘friend’ and shook its head with a loud sigh of exasperation. It kicked up a large plume of poisonous spores, though who it actually meant the spores for seemed to be a mystery. “Please don’t interrupt us, Paras. This ‘hot Potato’ might actually be willing to help me.” It explained in a hurry. Wild Encounter

"Hey, it's a bit cold out here. I am surprise you're not freezing up!" Potato replied, explaining his sudden pause again. He twitched his nose and did some arm stretches as he was trying to feel himself through the paralysis. There must be something going on, was it the temperature or those spores?
"Okay, so joining another group of Paras was a bad idea then. Not even your parents or another group." He paused to think. "What about those Foongus? Are you guys friends with them? Can they share some food with you?" He remembered fighting the other types of Pokemon in here.
Penelope finally noticed that her Pokemon was struggling in the cold. "Are you okay?" She hollered and then went to take a look at her Diggersby. After pressing onto some arm muscles and joint, she concluded that Potato might be paralyzed. "Those spores, even in the winter, it's strong. Here, take this Full Heal."
The duo type Pokemon gulped the Full Heal, and felt more energized again to move his arms and legs. "Yeah, you're interrupting us! HOT POTATO INCOMING AGAIN!" He shouted and charged toward the newer and ruder Paras.

The smaller Paras paused and tilted its head. It’s strange, large eyes spun around in their sockets and studied the snow covered landscape. What did this expressive young Paras think? It seemed like such an odd comment and one that the Paras had questioned in its own lifetime just the same. “I often feel like I’m freezing up in this climate.” The small fungus fessed up, turning a curious eye to its friend who began jumping around sporadically while chatting away seemingly to itself. “We have these strange fungus growing on our backs. All Paras do. I think that’s why so many of us seem to lose our senses…as we age.” It admitted thoughtfully, unaware of how accurate that was. After Penelope healed her Pokemon up, the Paras began running in long circles around Potato while spewing up toxic spores all around its opponent. The orbed Paras paused and stared blankly at first as its heart seemed torn on what it should do. Potato seemed to be such a helpful lad, whereas the newly called Paras was kind of mean and made the orbed Paras kind of regret calling it to help out. “What are you waiting for?! Can you do nothing!” The larger Paras hissed, to which the smaller Paras shied away. “It’s not that…he’s not so bad, ya know…” The other Paras scurried forth and smacked its friend with one of its legs. “It doesn’t matter! That’s the enemy! He’s only trying to distract you! See how his human healed him?!”Orbed Paras, caught in a tough spot where it didn’t know what to believe, just began kicking up some toxic spores as well. They weren’t well planned out and just seemed to kind of shoot up and fall back down around the wild fungus oddly enough. When Potato came crashing through the snow covered grass to knock the larger Paras backwards through the debris, it would immediately turn tail and run. “Foongus and Paras don’t really get along well.” Paras admitted with a sad sigh. “Thank you for getting rid of that guy…you’re not tricking me, are you?” It HAD to know.

“Yeh, the cold isn’t for everybody. Even I’m struggling if I wasn’t moving as much.” Potato added to the topic of cold. Being a ground type fighting a grass type, the two have in common with their hatred of cold.
“These strange fungus…” Diggersby thought as he spoke, “maybe they make you feel colder? What happens if you try to remove them or have someone remove them?” He wasn’t sure what would happen, but he just wanted to help the poor Paras any way he can, even if it meant removing the energy sapping mushroom.
The normal type felt that the Paras were usually hostile, including this one. Potato can’t help but had to defend himself, “Hey now, I’m not trying to eat you like those darn feathered folks. I’m more of a carrots and potatoes and radishes kind of guy.”
“What did the Foongus did to Paras? Or what did the Paras did to the Foongus?” Potato didn’t know the background of the two Pokémon in the area, but something must have been done by one party for them to be not in good terms.
When he felt that he was ready, he would use Quick Attack again, and hoped that the Paras would able to find a warm home after this.

"The mushrooms grow back after a while if we take 'em off... Some paras are very diligent about grooming themselves, but after a while everyone just seems to accept that they're gonna keep growing. They're not so bad, they make it easier to make decisions sometimes..." The orbed Paras said, it's eyes glossing over for a second as it spoke. "I haven't removed mine in a while.. I used to stay on top of that, but with winter it just doesn't seem like it's worth the effort. Maybe I'd feel better if you removed them from me." The Paras said, tilting itself down presenting its mushrooms to Potato. "The foongus are pretty territorial, they get pretty antsy if we go near em." The Paras added. "But maybe they just don't like the mushrooms we got growing on our backs." As Potato moved in to strike with a quick attack, the Paras allowed its mushrooms to be knocked off of its back, and the two mushrooms that had been attached were sent flying. The Paras looked up at Potato. "Hey... I feel kinda better! Thanks for that... maybe without those mushrooms the foongus will be more willing to talk to me." It said, and with a quick bow, it scuttled off, perhaps towards some friendly Foongus.
