These mushroom Pokemon have a particular scent to them. The best way to describe this in writing would be, if you stick your nose up close to a bundle of mushrooms, while you were surrounded by a whole lot of mushrooms in the very air you're breathing in. You won't get that smell with other flowers or plants in the area. When it did spot the mushrooms, it seemed like it was a Paras and a Foongus. When the hare Pokemon did get to land his Double Kick at them, the Foongus was hit and spared the Paras into hiding.

"Oh, your Paras friends were saying they needed a place to stay, and some food to eat to get past this harsh winter. Maybe you can spare them some?" The Diggersby replied, trying to sound chill. "I was aiming for the ground though, as I thought that maybe kicking up the ground would soften the ground for them to bury and to hibernate. Unless, you have a better idea to help those poor Paras?"

He then went for another Double Kick again. Once he was done, Potato strolled back to Penelope's side of the field, as if knowing what she would do next. Obviously, she would use another one of those Adrenaline Orb to summon more Pokemon or something.

The drab and dreary winter day was a droll for the mushroom kingdom. It made it impossible for them to find the food or shelter that they needed to survive the worst of the elements. Though sometimes the worst of the snowy weather brought the best crops when plants would succumb to the cold elements, shriveling up into a crumbled heap that allowed the Foongus to feast on their decaying matter. Most of the time, they simply bounced and hopped about, digging through the snow for the fallen forest litter to try and make it through until the oncoming spring times finally arrived. Potato’s arrival made things even harder on the Foongus, who was much too hungry and tired from the winter’s gathering of food sources to honor a decent battle with the powerful hare.

When it rushed at Foongus and kicked it squarely in the middle of its body, Foongus rolled backwards and screeched in pain. “What was that for?!” It hollered at the top of its lungs. The rabbit bounced back after Foongus and slammed his foot into the small mushroom once more, sending it toppling into the snow covered grass and rolling around dramatically. “I said WHAT WAS THAT FOR?! I don’t care who you were helping before! That ain’t ME, bub! Got it?!” It snapped back, jumping back onto its small bottom end and jumping up and down anxiously. It screamed through the trees when the strange blue orb rolled in front of it. When it tried to eat the ‘peace offering’ the strange orb spewed an even stranger gas all around them! “HELP! HELP! I’VE BEEN DECEIVED!”

A tiny little mushroom appeared alongside its friend, jumping about excitedly. “Time to dance?!” It asked. The larger, orbed Foongus shook its head and gently slapped its friend with its large mushroom top. What a silly question to ask! “No, it’s time to battle!” It hissed, spewing a strange, paralyzing spore everywhere around them. The small Foongus giggled and began jumping and spinning around cheerfully. “Time to dance! Let’s all dance! Dancing makes us friends!” The orbed Foongus shook its head and sighed. This was useless. “Why didn’t you let yo momma or yo daddy come help?” It asked the smaller Foongus, who simply shrugged. “This strange rabbit looks like a good dancer.” It replied innocently.

"That wasn't personal, brother," Potato replied to the original Foongus, trying to resolve this misunderstanding. "I was trying to kick up the ground and see if it would really help the Paras in the area. Please accept my apology."

It wasn't the first time Penelope would throw those blue orbs, but nobody really understands why the Pokemon would all cry and shout that they were deceived. Whether it was Skiddo or Potato, they both thought the situation was a little strange. There was no way that anyone would think those perfectly round orbs were Oran berry.

"Ha ha, thanks for lightening up the mood, bud. Your friend Foongus here was still angry at me. Maybe a little dancing AND battling would help it lighten up." The part ground type slapped his belly and chuckled. "Sadly for you, I cannot dance. My friend who flies with her wings can dance though, but I don't think she's going to enjoy this frosty weather."

"I can show you how fast I can run in a straight line though," he added, before trying to execute Quick Attack at the dancer.

OOC:
Quick Attack x2 on non-orb position.

[Tarlar]

The original foongus turned to glare at Potato, "why should I care? What about helping me getting some food instead? Those stupid paras are a lost cause anyway, knowing we fungus are superior anyway," it huffed and did all it could to ignore its little 'helper' who jumped forward in a fun pattern in its attempt to dance.
"And what did your human try to do?" It snapped as it worked itself up again. It too was suspicious about that orb which had been thrown at it, and it wouldn't be surprised if she had other tricks up her sleeve and would end up backstabbing it! No, it was better to have a disposable scout to check things out for it.

"Dance is fun! And easy!" The small foongus declared when Potato agreed to have fun but also admitted he couldn't dance.
"Watch! It's very easy! Just jump like this, here and here and here," it shouted to him and showed what it meant by jumping from side to side.
It got throw to the side by the air pressure as Potato raced past it in blinding speed. It looked dazed for a moment and then grinned. "woah! My sibling is never going to believe me you can be so fast! I know I go get them!" It exclaimed as it jumped back up in its foot and away through the paralyzing dusts which the bigger foongus had spread.

"How dare you ignore me?!" The bigger foongus screamed as Potato and the little unimportant brat of a foongus chose to chitchat and have fun. And without it and without it deciding how it should happen!
"You are talking to me, and only me! Got it!" It screamed at Potato and then froze when it heard the young mushroom said.
"Noooo, do you have any idea of what you have done?!" It groaned and then two small foongus appeared from the woods. One of them was the young one from before and it chatted eagerly to its sibling who looked very skeptical.
Ignoring the bigger foongus entirely the new young one jumped down to Potato, "that's a lie, isn't it?" It asked out of the blue.

"My human can't be feeding everyone here. You live in this area, you have to had saved up food for the winter right? What about sharing to some Paras or two? I'm not suggesting you to feed the whole colony or Paras, but if every one helped a Paras or two, maybe that could help the situation a bit?" Potato was a bit baffled at first, slapping his finger on his belly while the palm rested. Although he was able to finally give a reply.

After he zoomed past the smaller Foongus, the original Foongus seemed upset. At least for Potato, he was able to catch a glimpse of the Foongus's "dancing". "Tell me, what have I done exactly? You might think it's rude for me to talk to the other Foongus, but it would also be rude of me to just talk to you." The duo type tried to reason. There had to be a happy medium between too-polite and rude.

"Hey there, what's the lie? The one I can't dance or the one I can run super fast?" The rabbit greeted the new grass type. He tried to hop side ways to demonstrate, but being weak to the cold and heavier build, he was having a rough time. When he was ready though, he'll show the Foongus his zoomies.


OOC:
oh, I was trying to use running shoes to speed up even if I OHKO, if it's ok.
Once again, quick attack x2 on non-orb position

[Tarlar]

"I tried! Until you kicked me in the face!" The foongus shouted at Potato and then paused to stare at the diggersby with an unreadable expression, several emotions passed its face until it settled in a scowl.
"I'm certainly not their babysitter! If anything they are here to sustain us foongus, they are too dumb to do anything on their own anyway," the Foongus said with a snort.

It looked anything but pleased as Potato got one youngling to retreat but only for another to appear and take its place and be a nuisance.
"Are you deaf?!" The bigger original Foongus snapped at Potato, "I just said you are ignoring me and you keep getting all these idiots to come and be in the way! Don't pay them any attention, they are below me and shouldn't even be this close!"

The young foongus looked thoughtful and completely ignored the older ones ramblings, "both!" It decided, "Dance is easy and fun and no one can run that fast," it declared and looked expectantly at Potato. He quickly proved the point about being fast as he grabbed the young on and took it on a ride, making it squeal, first in fear and then in delight.
When he put it down it was laughing as it joined its friend and they jumped away into the forest.

"Don't. Encourage. Them!" The first Foongus raged and released a puff of spores with each words, as if it stomped furiously.
Yet another Foongus came jumping but unlike the others it went to the first one and bowed to it respectfully, "do you need help Master?" It asked submissively.

[Tiki]

"If I didn't kick you right then, you would have run off with the Paras earlier!" Potato replied, defending his own action. "You didn't look like you were going to stop anyways!"

"Why would the Paras sustain you Foongus? They don't look that nutritional." He added, confused about the response. "They just look so... bony or something. Like there's barely any fuel on them!" While eating other Pokemon wasn't an uncommon thing like a Pidgeot and Magikarp, Diggersby had never heard of Paras and Foongus,

"Fine, I'll pay attention to you now, but only for a second. Watch this!" he turned toward the original Foongus for a Quick Attack.

"You can't be that much of a master, if your friends pay attention to me more." He whispered to himself.

And when that was done, he turned around and would aim toward the newcomer Foongus for another Quick Attack. He felt warm from running back and forth, slamming onto the living mushroom medley.


OOC:
running shoes to hit both position.

[Tarlar]

"And why is that a problem? I was about to get lunch you know, until you decided you intervene," the foongus protested. The orbed foongus looked at Potato like he was stupid, "I don't eat meat, I'm not a savage predator," it said disgusted, "paras are already nothing more than food for the fungus it carries, but the paras doesn't die from it."
The newly arrived foongus sent it a strange look, "why are you telling him that?" It whispered, "you don't need to explain yourself."
"You're right, I certainly don't have to explain anything to a brute who knows nothing but attacking," the stuck up orbed one agreed, "and I could need your help to teach him a lesson, he attacked me you know."
The servant foongus gasped horrified, "Oh no Master! Are you alright?! Don't worry! I'll make sure that brute understands to never do such thing again!"

It turned and Potato dashed past it straight at the original but it jumped aside the the last moment.
"They are not worthy of being its servants!" the second foongus shouted at Potato, since they were now close enough to hear his whisper. They both grew in size as they prepared for "the lesson".
The servant tried to do as its master, but either it was worse at it, or Potato had learned from the last failed attack. The diggersby spun around and sent the foongus flying through the air, despite it trying to jump away.
The foongus filled the air with spores but Potato was unbothered by it, the first one snatched some of his energy and then made a face as it apparently hadn't thought it tasted very well.

"That lunch could wait a few minutes, right?" Potato asked, curiously.

Potato stood a little confused about the Foongus eating the fungus on the back of Paras. For a creature looking like fungus like Foongus, it sounded a little cannibalistic, or weeding out competition. "Well, uh... Do those mushrooms taste good?"

The Diggersby tried to run fast and smack the Foongus, but the grass type dodged it! He glared downward at the Foongus who were trying to grow large, but they were still much smaller than he was. He just grinned quietly at them, when they're trying to grow larger. "WELL, 'Master', can you grow as big as your ego?" He taunted before dashing away from the close distance. Then, he tried again at Quick Attack, at any one of the two Foongus, who was close enough.


OOC:
Naming Skiddo and Deerling and personality

Name: Grunch
Nature/Personality: Grunch is a grass connoisseur. He likes to charge toward opponents, but he also stop to smell and to taste the grass mid-battle. He is energetic and just be active.

Red Nosed Deerling
Name: Beets
Nature/Personality: Beets like red things. He likes red colored berries, beets, tomatoes, cherries, etc. He also take a liking of red colored Pokemon and would be sweet to them. He has a strong nose to sniff out danger and food. He prefers out of the Pokeball on nice weather.

[Tarlar]

The foongus stared at Potato like he had grown an extra head, "why? You have come with nothing that is important, why even disturb me in the first place?!" It snapped. They really had very different views on what had happened and why it had happened, and of course it was the foongus' version that was correct.
It stared even more when Potato completely misunderstood it and asked if the fungus tasted good, "what fungus?" It didn't eat fungus, not that kind of fungus at least. No dead plant materials was what tasted the best, but it was curious to see how the fungus on paras back worked and had managed to get such profitable thing to work. To be carried around and served by a willingly subject sounded nice, of course it would prefer to find something a bit more respectable than a dumb paras.

The orbed foongus glared back at Potato, "do something!" It complained to its servant, who jumped forward and ended up being right in Potato's path and got rolling over the ground and out of sight. The original, stuck up foongus wrinkled its little face in disgust.
"It's impossible to find decent help these days," it grumbled.
And then without warning jumped right in front of Potato and shouted at him, "Now you done it!" Potato was completely unfaced which looked to be taking the foongus by surprise.

"I guess according to you, the Paras living in the same area as you aren't important," Potato replied in return, unsatisfied from the response by the Foongus. "i am talking about the mushrooms growing on Paras's back. Those fungus." He explained himself again.

Well, it looks like you're no help. I can send you along your merry way. Thank you for your time and lack of help. I don't understand how you're just indifferent to the other Pokemon living in the same area as you do. You were going that way, right? He pointed at the direction that he vaguely remembered the Foongus was bouncing along earlier. Just as the Foongus grumbled at inability to find decent help, the Diggersby felt the same about this situation.

When he was ready, he would charge up and ran super fast for another Quick Attack. This time though, he would be trying to slam the Foongus into the direction it was originally running toward, before he interrupted them several minutes earlier.

[Tarlar]

"Of course they aren't," the Foongus said miffed, "I mean, have you seen those dumb things? They are letting themselves getting controlled and only grow dumber the older they get. Here age certainly isn't equal wisdom, a young paras you can at least have a proper sentence with, while I think there is nothing left of that small brain of theirs when they get old."
The foongus scoffed, how could Potato have any empathy with such low life as paras? They certainly were just existing to be food for others and perhaps break things they ate down with their claws, so it was easier for other pokemon to get something to eat as well.
"So? I'm not going to eat those either," The foongus said disgusted, "why do you keep asking such weird ideas?"

"Help?!" Foongus huffed, "you think its asking for help when you kick somebody in the face?! You could have come and asked politely, but noooo, you wanted to let your feet talk for you! I am certainly not going to help anyone who is so.. so rude! And aggressive! If anything I would teach you some manners and throw you out of my forest!"
It puffed itself up to look offended at Potato, "I'm treating the ones around me as they deserve!" It declared, "I am the the ruler of this place and everybody should.." It began but Potato was over it in a flash and sent it flying in among the trees.
Peace at last!
