Having been with the Sergeant's group, Forest never saw the Stantler heard, though he was pretty sure he'd heard the call of one off in the distance at one point. Still, when their time to search for it was over, the ex-Guardsman couldn't say he was upset. Stantler had been a Pokedex completion for him and nothing more, which he did feel a little guilty over, but it was what it was. He had the Pokemon he liked and the ones he knew worked well for his training style in the games. Boarding his bus again, he pulled his .45 out of it's holster and removed the magazine from it. Because of how much time they'd be spending out in the wilderness, the Sergeant had preferred that they be able to chase off any wild animals they might come across before they found the Pokemon.

Lunch was full of discussion but was relatively short before the group set off to hunt down the mushroom toting crab looking Pokemon Paras. Now here was one that he'd be OK with catching, since Parasect learned X-scissor and all the spore attacks, his two personal favorites being Stun Spore and Sleep Spore. They'd been instrumental in catching Palkia and Moltres, though the latter of the two had been a calculated risk since Parasect was a Bug-Type.

After a couple of hours, many of the aspiring trainers had given up actually looking and instead set to just enjoying the time outside, but Forest continued to look. He knew that there was a Paras around the area somewhere, he just had to be persistent. And that persistence paid off. He noticed a pair of small yellow and red mushrooms slowly trying to sneak away from the group.

The ball connected and sucked in the crab in a flash of red light.

Though if he was honest, as he watched the Pokeball with apprehension, it was absurd that they had no way to weaken the Pokemon first, but that was what it was. Hopefully this would go better than the Foongus had.
