MISHU MIZUMA
Dark Type Trainer •
Education / Science

The blue haired educator paused to take in the sights of the surrounding forest. It was a strange land that they stepped into, almost like something out of a fairy tale. It blended in with the surrounding landscape just as easily. Old trees, whose trunks seemed to stretch up to heaven itself and tickle the clouds above their heads, wrapped around the bank, keeping the fungus that grew in abundance on the dead and decomposing organisms below just out of sight. It might have been easy to miss, if Mishu managed to find a slightly different trail to carry her through to a different area along her way to Goldenrod City.

She filtered leaf litter and chunks of rotten wood through her fingers as she searched through the tall grasses to see what might have been hidden within the humid environment. The soft white crystals that clung to the golden-brown blades of grass twinkled in the filtered sunlight that bounced through the canopies and cascaded between long, dark shadows on the forest floor below. Only fungus of various kinds and discarded bits of plant matter greeted her. Some other substances, such as feces from other Pokemon that previously wandered through the same area, caught her attention if only to cause Mishu to shift her gaze away and into a entirely new spot.

She’d pack away some of the edible mushrooms within Ziploc bags inside of her backpack to use within her meals later on in the day. Having fresh produce from the forest itself to help carry her team a bit further was always a blessing in itself. Mishu knew she had to be careful, though, as there were just as many poisonous fungi lurking underneath the scattered leaf litter and forest debris as there were tasty, edible ones. Something darted past her, followed by more bodies that seemed to shoot off in different directions. Mishu backed up and slowly rose up onto her legs, carefully watching her surroundings until a small Shroomish plopped out from the tall grasses and spewed thick spores into the air around them.

“Oh!” Mishu immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth and jumped out of the way of the spores. She would hustle away from the small fungi and used her other hand to snap her fingers and point towards the wild Pokemon with a nod of her head. “Ika, please go talk to that little guy. Let it know we mean them no harm?” The floating blue squid nodded and soared through the open air towards the small Shroomish, raising one of its long tentacles to wave towards the sporing Pokemon. “Hey there! Hey….you can calm down now…we’re just passing through.” She tried to gently push (slash) the Pokemon out of the way so that they could continue on their journey through the surrounding forest. “We didn’t mean to upset you. I promise!” She attempted to reassure the Shroomish.

Ika nudged the shroom, and very grumpily, it smacked her tentacle with its face. BAP! BAP! The shroomish was very weak compared to the inkay and even its persistent tackles really didn't accomplish much of anything at all. <Get ouuuuut! THIS IS MY TERRITORY!> It had already loose a cloud of startled spores when stumbled upon. No doubt if the group lingered it would start spewing more of said powder and perhaps actually leave them coughing or sickened. 

But one more nudge by Ika made the shroomish huff.

<FINE! I will go stand over there and WATCH you leave. But shoo! Go away! GO!>

The grumpus grumped its mushroom self over to a log and huddled inside, glaring the whole while, like it expects its stare to do psychic damage or something from afar. It wouldn't impede Mishu's progress further into the forest at least?
