046: Paras

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s forty-sixth lesson on Pokémon biology. In class today, we will be discussing Paras: the Mushroom Pokémon. This tiny bug/grass type creature has mushrooms called tochukaso growing on its back. These mushrooms are parasitic and absorb nutrients from Paras in order to grow larger and gain full control of its brain. Yikes. That's actually pretty haunting. Paras is a poor Pokémon that has never had a single desire of its own since birth... let's try not think about it. These mushrooms aren't all bad! The tochukaso are also used by many humans for medicinal purposes, including extending life. So if you want your grandma to live to see 100, then pop some of these bad boys in her curry. And as always, we have another pop quiz today! ►Support the Professor's class on Patreon: patreon.com/wwopokemon ►Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/Jc5P2Mk6Ru Welcome to the World of Pokémon is part of the Poke Casters Network.
