Worry Seed (Generation IV)

Pikund had managed to recover from Latias's Mist Ball and continued putting a good fight against the Eon Pokémon. Suddenly, Tobias returned Latias just before the Gastrodon could finish her off, despite not feeling good herself. Lucas took advantage of these seconds of reprise and ordered Pikund to use Rest.

Pikund did as told, closed her eyes, and nodded off as she became enveloped in a green aura.

"Hnh. Smart to use the time for me to return my Pokémon for this.", Tobias remarked. "Better make every second count."

Tobias took out another Pokéball and sent out…a Shaymin, which was in its Land Forme. As the Gratitude Pokémon landed next to its trainer, Tobias took out a Gracidea flower from his red coat, bent down to his Pokémon, and shook the flower at it. Shaymin then glowed in yellow light and changed to Sky Forme.

"What?", Ash gasped from the bleachers. "I thought using items on Pokémon aren't allowed in the League."

"Around here, they are.", Barry stated.

"Huh?"

"You see, in Sinnoh, there are items that are used specifically for battles. Thing is, not all Trainers use them in competitive battles like these because they can only be used once. After the items are used, it's either gone or in their opponent's possession."

"I don't get it."

"Exactly my point." Ash frowned at Barry.

Back at the arena, Tobias ordered, "Shaymin! Use Worry Seed!"

Shaymin took to the skies and shot a shining green seed from its mouth. This seed latched right onto Pikund's back, and erupted roots which surrounded her body. The seed then constricted its roots on Pikund, waking her up.

"What just happened?", Dawn asked Brock.

"Worry Seed. It a Grass-type move that wakes up a Pokémon and changes its ability to Insomnia."

"Insomnia prevents a Pokemon from falling asleep, right?"

"Right."

Pikund, now awake, but still in need of more rest, which was now deprived thanks to Worry Seed, looked up at Shaymin and grunted in anger.

"Shaymin! Use Air Slash!"

Shaymin flew around in a circle until wind started forming in the middle of the circle. Then, the wind glowed light blue, and formed into a light blue energy ball. Finally, Shaymin flew back and rammed itself into the energy ball, sending a light blue blast from the ball at Pikund.
