Shroomish Swarm

The gang had finally exited Petalburg Forest and were in Rinshin Town. May was happy to be in a town and wanted to start window shopping immediately. Brock wanted to pick up supplies and Ash, Tomo and Max wanted to get something to eat. So May and Brock went off to shop together and Ash, Tomo and Max went off to get something to eat. 
After having some cheeseburgers with fries, Ash, Tomo and Max wondered what to do next.
"I'd like to go and find some Pokemon that roam around in cities." Max said.
"Okay, then we will head to alleyways." Ash said. "Pokemon who live in cities roam around alleyways." 
"Hey, I see one now." Tomo said.
Tomo saw a green and tan colored mushroom Pokemon lurking around some dustbins. 
"That's a Shroomish." Max said. "It's a grass type Pokemon."
Ash looked Shroomish up on the Pokedex.
"Shroomish, the Mushroom Pokemon. Shroomish live in damp soil in the dark depths of forests. They are often found keeping still under fallen leaves. This Pokemon feeds on compost that is made up of fallen, rotted leaves."
"That's odd though." Max said. "Shroomish live in forests, so why is it here in a city?"
"It probably got lost." Ash said. "I've been in this sort of situation before. Some Pokemon end up getting lost and enter a place they have never been in before, so let's help this Shroomish get back home." Shroomish felt timid with the humans around, but with the Pokemon's help Ash convinced Shroomish that they just wanted to help it, so Shroomish agreed. Ash picked it up.
"Okay, so where should we start looking for Shroomish's home?" He asked.
Ash got the answer; he heard some people talking about some workers getting hit by Stun Spore in a rundown mansion. So Ash, Tomo and Max agreed to go over to the mansion first just in case.
May and Brock were already at the mansion; they had heard the rumors while they were shopping and they wanted to see the mansion themselves. The mansion was indeed very rundown; in fact it was in disrepair and needed a lot of work to make it as good as new again. 
"It's a shame that this old mansion is going to be torn down." May said. "I mean it still looks splendid, even though it does need fixing up."
"Yes, but once people decide to knock a building down, there's no way to change their minds." Brock pointed out.
Ash, Tomo and Max then arrived at the mansion.
The Shroomish in Ash's arms ran off into the mansion.
"That Shroomish probably lives in that mansion." Ash said.
Just then a man walked up to them.
"What are you kids doing here?" He asked. "It's dangerous in this area."
Ash, Tomo and Max told him about the Shroomish and that it ran into the building.
"But that's impossible." The man said. "Shroomish haven't been here ever since the forest disappeared."
The man who's name is Alex explained that Rinshin Town used to be small with a big forest.
"This mansion used to belong to my grandfather and when I was a kid, I played with the Shroomish all day long." Alex said. "But then over the years the forest disappeared for more and more buildings. Then my grandfather died and the Shroomish disappeared too. The mansion was supposed to be torn down by now, but because of the strange happenings nothing has been done yet."
Ash had a thoughtful expression on his face.
"We need to get into that mansion and investigate." He said. "Since the Shroomish ran into the building; my guess is that Shroomish might be behind the strange incidents." 
Everyone agreed with Ash's plan and they all went into the mansion.
It was dark inside the mansion and it was in disrepair inside too. Everyone looked and then finally they saw the Shroomish and another Shroomish with it in a room with a fireplace. Alex couldn't believe that there were Shroomish in the mansion as he hadn't seen any for a while now.
"It's obvious." Brock said. "This mansion is the only home that the Shroomish have, since the forest has been cut down for buildings. And once the mansion is gone then they won't really have a home in Rinshin Town anymore."
Suddenly a Machamp barged into the room.
"What's a Machamp doing here?" Max asked.
"That Machamp actually belongs to one of the workmen." Alex said. "It's owner got hit by Stun Spore yesterday. So Machamp is probably here to find out what used Stun Spore on it's master."
The Machamp saw the two Shroomish and went to hit them with Focus Punch. Ash and Max grabbed the Shroomish before the Machamp could hit them.
"Stop Machamp!" Ash demanded.
Just then a big swarm of Shroomish entered the room and started to release Stun Spore. 
"We better get out quickly before we get hit by Stun Spore." Brock said.
Everyone else agreed and they all ran out of the mansion. Machamp ran out quickly too before it was hit by Stun Spore and it went home.
"I can't believe all the Shroomish were living in the mansion the whole time." Alex said.
"Do you get it now?" Ash asked. "The Shroomish don't want the mansion to be torn down. That's why they attacked the workers using Stun Spore to stop the demolition. They want to continue living here as they have no other home here in Rinshin Town." 
Alex understood what he was saying.
"I'm sorry." He said. "But I'm afraid this mansion will still be torn down as it is complete disrepair. But what I can do is this; I will plant a whole lot of trees in this area and make it a habitat for the Shroomish to live in again."
The gang was happy to hear that and so were all the Shroomish.
"You hear that Shroomish." Ash said to the Shroomish in his arms. "You will finally have a proper home now."
"And so will you Shroomish." Max told the Shroomish in his arms. 
But the two Shroomish shook their heads. 
"Huh what's wrong?" Max asked.
The Shroomish spoke up.
"They want to come with us Max." Ash said. "They like us."
Max was surprised by that.
"Do you mind if we take these two Shroomish with us?" Ash asked Alex.
"I don't mind at all." Alex smiled. "Especially since they have found new friends for themselves."
So Ash and Max captured the two Shroomish for themselves; Max had spare empty Poke Balls on him so that he could catch new Pokemon for himself.
By now it was time for the gang to leave Rinshin Town.
"You take care of all the Shroomish here sir." Max said.
"I will." Alex said. "And you guys take care of yourselves."
The gang said goodbye to Alex and the Shroomish then continued heading to Rustboro City.
