Eerie Wood: Silas' Zubat Hat Trick

[Professor Oak]

[LV 15] Zubat appeared.

Encountered here.

Weather is Heat Wave.

For a long, eerie moment, Silas though that he might have just seen a ghost! A flash of red in the gloom, like that of a duskull's singular pupil, cut through the shadows and ensnared his attention. It wasn't the bright hues of his parasect but the gleam of something other. He took a step, a twig snapped, and the flicker of red transformed into...ANOTHER USELESS BAT. Silas swore. He swore a lot. He then chucked a rock at the bat in frustration, "Why do i keep finding bats?! I know they are native here, but did I wander into a swarm of these things?! Shoo. Begone. You're not even covered in honey. Bah." Silas huffed and stomp and continued to chuck rocks and curses at the bat like it would improve more than his sour, surly mood.

It did not.

Rather, he felt the need to just SCREAM in frustration. He pulled a bit at his hair and drew in even breaths. Calm down. CALM DOWN. It was just a bat. He might find many more as he waited out here in this heat. He just needed to find his center and cool his head. Now...

Breathe.

Juuuuuust breathe. 

As he settled down and sat on the ground, Ace once more went on zubat yeeting duty. Time to sweep the bat away before anyone got hurt. Even the bat itself. 

Parasect was curious and scuttled closer, peering with cloudy white eyes at its trainer, claws held close and polite to its body. Then it scanned the trees. Hm. Maybe it would get a better look from above? Ace was keen eyed, but it was a ground dweller who was used to seeing things from below. Maybe it could improve their hunt by changing its own perspective. With that decided, the mushroom pokemon scuttled to the tangled roots of a tree and then used the bark and whorls in the wood for grip. Then, it climbed steadily skyward. Higher and higher until it could settle its weight where the branches forked.

Hm...a perfect place to observe what was going on below from its perspective.

<What are you doing?> asked Ace in passing as she chased off the bat. <You are supposed to be looking wild pokemon on the ground.>

<...> Parasect waved a dismissive claw. Don't interrupt. It needed to focus. Needed to use its new spot to its advantage.
