Fourth Day - Video/Action/Text

Is it me, or are these bugs starting to get tired? They don't seem as angry as they were on the first day of all this.

[As if to prove his point, Hiro's Larvitar - which was having trouble taking out the things en masse a few days prior - now attacks a pair at once and takes them out no problem.]

They're still mad, but I think it's getting close to an end. I've actually been able to try catching a few of them now. Lucky me, this nose thing found me earlier and decided to team up with me. Pretty cool of it actually.

[Hiro shifts the camera to his newest team member, the stray Nosepass that he discovered after its master, Don Paolo, vanished mysteriously from Johto. The Nosepass goes to take out some more bugs, and Hiro turns back to the screen.]

By the way... Anyone else read what the thing says about Paras? Hold on a second--

Paras has parasitic mushrooms growing on its back called tochukaso. They grow large by drawing nutrients from this Bug Pokémon host. They are highly valued as a medicine for extending life.

It is doused with mushroom spores when it is born. As its body grows, mushrooms sprout from its back.

Pretty cool, huh? [... and sort of cruel and demented. feel free to call him on that.] Couldn't help myself to a few more of them after reading that.
