You release two more of your Pokemon and begin shouting orders. "Zatanna, they're Poison, shut 'em down with
Confusion! Fezzik, take them apart with
Aerial Ace! Smoot, cover us if they get too close, but watch the trees! We don't need this whole place coming down on us! Rose, make us a hole, get us out of here!"
The Grass Pokemon clearly knew how to trap their prey. The Bellsprout hung back in the trees, their
Vine Whips making a web that surrounded the clearing, including jumping the river, cutting off that escape. Even worse, the Weepinbell were filling the air with
Stun Spore and
Poisonpowder. On top of that, the Victreebel were advancing with a hungry look in their eyes.
If you and Rose weren't able to get out of this quickly, you were in real trouble.
Zatanna raises her spoon and begins gesturing, pointing at the closest Victreebel, her eyes glowing. The Victreebel's eyes glow to match Zatanna's, and it begins to shake. Fezzik charges and slashes his horn across the Grass Pokemon's body with blinding speed, and it collapses. Smoot rolls towards another Victreebel with
Flame Wheel, crashing into it with an explosion of fire and bouncing back to land beside you.
Rose finally starts reacting. "Aroma, cut apart those vines with
Magical Leaf! Felix, help her with
Dragonbreath!" Rose's Bayleef shoots an unerring barrage of glowing leaves at the vines blocking the stream, and her Dratini fires a stream of caustic breath at the center of the vine wall. Some of the vines snap and retract under the assault, but the wall is still too thick to escape through.
The Victreebel advance towards you, spraying
Acid attacks at your team. Smoot knocks you over and shields you from the attacks, taking them across his back. His fiery fur cooks the liquid off quickly, leaving the fur stained and discolored.
You feel Smoot's temperature skyrocket and you let go for fear of being burned. You try to push yourself up, only to have your feet yanked out from under you by a Victreebel's
Vine Whip. "Smoot, get it off me!"
But Fezzik's already in motion, slicing the vine apart with
Aerial Ace. You scurry back, Rose hauling you to your feet as her Pokemon continue their assault on the barrier.
Zatanna points at another one of the Victreebel and it collapses, but that isn't what catches your eye. No, your attention is on Smoot. He charges the Victreebel that grabbed you, slamming it with a
Flame Wheel then bearing down on it, covering its face in
Embers. Smoot roars a fiery challenge to the skies as the wild Pokemon can't take anymore, daring the rest of the Grass Pokemon to take him on.
One of the Bellsprout tries to grab Smoot, but can't keep hold of the overheated Pokemon. As the vine flicks away, Smoot begins to glow. He shoots up over two feet and gains over a hundred pounds of bulk in an instant. The glow fades away and Smoot lets out another roar, now a Typhlosion.

Move List and Inventory
Smoot just evolved and about half the Victreebel are down, but you're still surrounded by the Bellsprout, and the Weepinbell are still filling the air with Stun Spore and Poisonpowder. What will you do?
Oh, and because I forgot to mention it last time, Rose switched out Rocky for Felix, so she does not have her Steelix with her. My mistake.
