Fraizer the Leafeon Poochyena is wandering around in the Petalburg Woods on his own. Usually Timber or Lillian will guide him, but neither are anywhere to be found.

"Dad! Dad!" Fraizer cries out excitedly, padding through the woods.

"Aye! Who that?!" a voice calls out.

"I'm Fraizer! PineCone's son!" Fraizer calls out, puffing his chest out.

The wind blows his leaf a little. The bushes rustle and a Paras leaps out.

"Oh, you have something sprouting out of your back..." Fraizer says, sniffing the mushrooms on Paras' back.

"Back off! They'll kill you! They're killing me!" Paras cries out.

"W-What...?" Fraizer asks.

"Never mind! Shut up!" Paras shrieks.

"Are you okay?" Fraizer asks.

"No! Yes! We're fine! I'm fine!" Paras shrieks.

"I know somebody who can help..." Fraizer says.

"Nooo!" Paras shrieks and douses Fraizer in Sleep Powder.

Fraizer coughs and falls into a deep sleep. Paras runs off and starts sucking on a tree to regain energy after that attack. Quite awhile later, PineCone investigates what all the commotion was.

"Fraizer? Are you still here? I thought I heard you..." PineCone calls.

It has been awhile since PineCone has walked this far and he is a bit exhausted. The thought of seeing his son again is the only thing keeping him moving.

"Fraizer...? Oh! There he is!" PineCone cries out, finding Fraizer fast asleep where he once was battling.

"Wake-y wake-y, Fraizer!" PineCone says, playfully pawing at the pup.

Of course, Fraizer doesn't wake up or even stir. PineCone sniffs Fraizer to make sure he isn't dead. While sniffing, he gets a little bit of the Sleep Powder up his nose. He sneezes, but does not fall asleep.

"Sleep Powder? But Fraizer should be immune! He's Dark Grass!" PineCone thinks out loud, "Must have been quite a heavy dose!"

He picks Fraizer up by the scruff and slowly trudges out of the woods. He has to stop every few moments to put Fraizer down and breathe because he hasn't done this much exercise in a long time.

"Dang it! I really need to get in shape... And not just my arms and legs this time..." PineCone says as he pants.

Luckily, he doesn't have to travel too much further than his usual berry route as Lillian and Timber were heading to see him anyways.

"Fraizer!" Timber cries out.

PineCone plops the sleeping pup down and looks up sadly at the two Mightyenas.

"I'm so sorry... He's been powdered... Sleep Powdered..." PineCone says, ears down.

"Oh no!" Lillian cries out, "It's all my fault! I forgot to keep an eye on him!"

Timber desperately tries to lick Fraizer awake.

"Come on, Fraizer! You have to wake up!" Timber whines.

"Come on, boy!" Lillian encourages.

Nothing is working and the pup remains asleep.

"Please tell me you have a cure... I'd hate for Fraizer to sleep forever!" Timber whimpers.

"Yeah... A Chesto Berry is what he needs!" PineCone says.

"Did you eat them all?" Lillian asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, oops..." PineCone says.

"But why?! You don't need them!" Lillian argues.

"Occasionally, I crave a dry tasting snack!" PineCone argues back.

"Poor little Fraizer..." Timber says.

Because PineCone ate all the Chesto berries, everybody just sits around guarding Fraizer. The hours tick by and, at one point, the group has to hide with Fraizer because a trainer is coming.

"I'll try harder next time..." PineCone says with a sigh, "If I weren't so greedy, we'd be done with this by now."

As soon as a Chesto berry ripens, PineCone plucks it from the tree with his teeth.

"Don't eat it!" Lillian warns.

"I won't," PineCone says, his voice muffled.

He spits the Chesto berry out and rubs it against Fraizer's paw pads. Fraizer springs awake almost instantly.

"PARAS IS POSSESSED!" Fraizer screeches, breathing heavily.

"Shh... Shhh... It's okay, kid... Is Paras the one who did this to you?" PineCone asks.

"Yeah, I don't think it wanted to..." Fraizer says, looking at his paws.

"We're so glad you're alright!" Timber cries out.

"We thought you were gone for good," Lillian says.

"Thanks for saving me, dad!" Fraizer says, wagging his tail happily.

"No problem, kid! A pack leader has got to do what a pack leader has got to do!" PineCone says, grinning.

Timber and Lillian rush Fraizer home to finish cleaning him up. PineCone returns to the woods. He hops up onto his rock and sighs.

The End!
