Paras Round 4
Vincent's final command echoes off the buildings of Trillium Town and the distant toe slopes of Mt. Molten. "BITE! bite bite bite"
Growlithe responds to his trainer's confidence - not to mention the soothing Potion.
Growlithe's Bite
(3)(1)(2)(2)(2)(5) - I should switch out which dice I'm using. But one success is all it takes! Hit.
(2)(2)(5)(4) - Paras is knocked out.
(you're allowed to capture unconscious Pokemon in this game, though they won't be happy about it)
Winston gains 2XP and Vincent gains 1XP.
Winston wobbly at the overexertion, lies down on the ground, whining softly and panting furiously.
"Lets not let this go to waste, little guy." Resizing another Pokeball from his belt, Vincent lobs the capture capsule at the now unconcious Paras. "It might not like us now, but who knows. Maybe you'll get a new friend eventually."
Winstons whimpers, then suddenly coughs, hacking as it belches forth a small gout of flame against the sodden ground. Almost instantly, the muddy sward steams, baking into a patch of rock hard clay.
"And looks like you learned a thing or two in the process." He chuckles, scooping up the exhausted puppy in his arms. "Rest easy. I'll carry you."
Winston, settles into his trainer's arms with a contented yelp, then licks his face for good measure.
"You smell like an ashtray, you know that."
Weakly, the growlithe manages a whine of protest, then it cocks it's ears, glancing around fitfully.
"What is it, boy?"
He notes the sudden explosion of startled birds winging away from the treetops. Common sense would dictate getting the heck out of dodge, but he spots the figures, tiny in the distance and running towards him, feeling Winston tense in his arms.
"Shoot." He glances down at the tired dog. "You up for this again little guy? Day isn't out."
It lets out a whine that he takes to mean I go where you go, boss. Clearly unhappy, but not unwilling.
"Right. Lets go."
Lowering the dog to the ground, he reverses the grip on his cane, giving it an experimental swing. Slowly, the two of them advance cautiously towards the source of the disturbance.

Mechanics/Plot:
Might as well pick up the Paras, since I sank so much resources into making it stay down. It can hate me later.
That said. Given Winston's down with post will-point expenditure fatigue, this is going to suck.
