I reserve a Tangela
Take Medusa the Tangela.
Backstory:
Long, long ago. There was a happy little Pokemon called Medusa. She lived in a big plain with a lot of other Pokemon. She was happy with her life. At least until a family of Eevee and her Evolutions came to the plain. Eevee was a mean girl. She wanted everything for herself and nobody could do anything better than her. Eevee’s sisters were friendly Pokemon, but they were terrorised by Eevee.
Someday, Medusa walked quietly to the forest, while the Eeveelutions were following her. After about a mile walking, they arrived at a clearing. Medusa wanted to stop to eat something, however, Flareon attacked her. Flareon felt that Medusa would easily fall to its powerful Fire Fang, and weak Medusa almost did. Fire Fang made her shivering, however, do to the adrenaline, Tangela fired off paralyzing spores. These spores suddenly affected Flareon and she couldn’t move anymore. The others ran away out of terror. While Medusa was happy she was saved, she was also frightened of what she did and was really afraid of herself. She waited carefully at Flareon’s side. She was waiting on her awakening. After some hours, Flareon woke up. She was totally OK, only a bit frightened. Medusa said she was sorry, but Flareon said it didn’t matter and she did what she was supposed to do. After some talking, they learned about each other and they became friends. They only went back to their homes on the plain, telling each other they would see each other back tomorrow.
That night, far after midnight, poor Flareon came back at home. Eevee started to terrorize her again. She punished her for being with Medusa. Flareon said that Medusa was really nice, but nonetheless Eevee deeply hated Medusa. Then Eevee ordered the other Eeveelutions to learn Flareon a lesson she would never forget. A combination of a powerful combination of Bite, Psychic, Hydro Pump, Solarbeam, Blizzard and Thunder hit her and she was knocked out for a while after that. Next morning when she woke up, she saw her sisters vaguely. They were excusing for what they did and said they weren’t brave enough to stand up against the terror named Eevee. Flareon could understand that, she would’ve done it too. Meanwhile Eevee was looking around the plains looking for misdeeds, which she thinks should be punished. So while Eevee was away they escaped quickly to Medusa, as Flareon had promised.
Around midday, they arrived at the clearing. Medusa was already waiting there. Immediately Medusa asked what had happened to Flareon. Glaceon explained it calmly. Medusa responded astonished. She asked how Eevee could do that to her own family. Then the normally quiet Umbreon showed herself, she said: “I will reveal a secret, previously, Eevee was trained by a strong trainer called [insert name of your rival here], but she was abandoned after he couldn’t evolve it because they had no friendship band, he had no evolutionary stones and he couldn’t find any Mossy/Icy Rock. However, he kept training Eevee till he couldn’t anymore. Then he released her, as he had nothing to do with an unevolved Eevee. So that is why she is so strong.”
Then suddenly Eevee jumped out of the forest on the southeast side of the clearing. The group was shocked. They slowly walked to the back, but Eevee followed them, she said: “How could you do this? I said I didn’t want this! Now I will have to punish you myself!” Eevee attacked the group. One after another fell to Eevee legendary power. She moved very quickly with her powerful Quick Attack and she could evade all attacks with a quick Protect. Quickly only Medusa was left. While Eevee was beating the sister, she made a decoy for herself to hide in. She was sitting quietly in the bushes, fearing to even breath, while Eevee was searching to her. Eevee got irritated, she decided to use her last resort: Foresight. Now she found Medusa. Once again Medusa was shivering from fear, due this she unleashed another shower of paralyzing spores. This paralysed Eevee and Tangela could take the Eeveelutions and escape quickly to the forest. When she thought she was safe, she tried to take of her decoy that was made of vines, however, it didn’t go off. Now Medusa had a permanent cloak of vines around her body. She thought she was ugly now, she had to cry now. But she realised there was no time for self-pity. She hurried to a local hospital run by wild Chansey and Blissey.
They arrived there just in time. One of the best nurses helped them, she could barely save them. But, eventually they came back. They were healthy and happy again and they thanked Medusa for helping them. The Eeveelutions said that they wanted to go back already, but you still wanted to look around the place now you’re there. So they went before you. Then a trainer came across. He looked at the Pokemon and saw that she must have survived a lot and she must be tough, so he catched her, that trainer was you.
Catching Rules:
1. Must have Leaf Guard. (Well, it is protected by leafs from Eevee by them)
2. Needs to know Stun Spore. (Magical spores)
3. You can only have one Pokemon in your party at maximum of one Pokemon in your party alive and that one can only have one-fifth of its HP left when starting the battle against Tangela. (Its friends were almost dead)
4. Must be female. (Obvious)
Adventure:
When you catched her you thought Medusa was a brave and enduring Pokemon, however, this was not the case. She is shy and afraid of herself, doesn’t like being close to Pokemon and doesn’t trust anyone anymore. She has a trauma of the accident with Eevee.
It becomes even worse when you start fighting other Pokemon with her. She doesn’t like it and always cries silently and when you let your Pokemon roam free, she stays behind and sits against a nearby tree or wall. Most of the time you come sit by her to talk, but you have to spend time with your other Pokemon too. That said you are the only one she does trust. You are the only one friendly to her. Because nobody does nice to her, she feels cut off from the world. Her cloak of vines becomes thicker over time. Due this she misses her attacks a lot. She can’t see well through the layer of vines. So she misses moves a lot. She doesn’t want to come close to people or things, so she will never go near anything. Due to her trauma, she shakes again and launches magical spores at her opponents. Still she doesn’t know what these are and she is afraid of them, so she won’t battle again until she knows they won’t come again. She doesn’t like Pokemon to lie shivering because of her. She becomes afraid when any Pokemon comes close and thinks something happened to her, you always try to prevent this and keep her happy. Every time you send here into battle, she hides and tries to keep herself as close to the ground as possible, as she rather hides herself than fights.
After some time with Tangela, you realize that she is still sad about the accident with Eevee. You go searching Eevee and you catch her. Eevee is still very arrogant and wants to be the only one you are caring for. Deep inside you don’t like Eevee, but you don’t say that, as you think all Pokemon should be treated equally. You try to build up a bond with Eevee. You battle with her, you work with her and you play with her. Slowly you get a friendship and Eevee is so happy she evolves. Now she is behaving herself differently, she is friendly and happy with life. She wasn’t the mean Pokemon from before anymore. Now with her new identity, she will use a fresh start and only use new special moves from evolution.
As ultimate proof of your friendship, you two search a point to battle someone. It had to be someone powerful and mighty. You have to be good to defeat him. Eventually after some days, you come at a City with a gym. Once you two see it, you both know that is the place you will find the battle you were searching. You prepare and the next day you two enter the gym nervously. Fore you, you see a majestic battlefield and at the other side, you see someone standing confident, ready to beat you. You challenge the person and after a long and exciting battle, both for the trainers and the Pokemon, there is an explosion. A big cloud of smoke is hanging above the battlefield, you look to the leader and you both know the final moves are made. You here a shout, it could be of both Pokemon, one of you have won. Then the smoke fades away. You see you Pokemon standing arduous, but standing. You have won and you have the proof of your bond with Eevee.
Then you reunite Eevee, her sisters and Tangela. Tangela meets the new evolved form of Eevee and even them, of all Pokemon become friends immediately. Also [Insert Pokemon Eevee evolved into here] is very proud of the fact that you let Eevee evolve into the same species, however all other Eeveelutions hate it; they thought she would evolve into their species. They exert their hate against Tangela and Tangela gets beaten up. The other Eeveelutions that aren’t mad try to stop it, but they are chanceless. After some time of mistreatment, Tangela shivers again. Then the Eeveelutions retire, they know what is coming. As they expected Tangela exerts magical spores again, paralysing all standing near her. But that isn’t all what happens, she evolves into a Tangrowth!
After she evolved, she sees all Pokemon shivering on the ground, now she sees the power of the move. Now she inflicts all Pokemon she fights with her magical powers. Also no one may ever escape from them. She is now a bit of a mean Pokemon, trying to inflict pain on all opponents and negating her allies. She does this because she needs to protect herself; otherwise, she thinks that she will be beaten up again. Also now she hates most Eeveelutions, as they don’t show respect to her. For this she decides that she will just beat up their friends, so that they will feel harsh inner pains. However, she now has the trauma that she is beaten up, so she still doesn’t like that Pokemon make contact with her, then she turns into her shy inner being again and flees. On the other side, when she sees other Pokemon won’t come close, she goes all out attacking and she will never flee, as she is so confident than. Also, as she is so confident, she thinks that she can do all on her own. She doesn’t want you to help her, she thinks you are worthless. Only when all her allies died, she sees the power of the opponent and allows you to heal her. At those moments, she becomes her friendly and shy self again.

Once you defeat the champion, you see the sheer destructive power of Tangrowth, however, although it is strong, he is out of control. You decide it needs to go back to its old self.

You hate to see it, but you know Medusa needs it to become friendly again, something that makes it happy eventually. Slowly, when Medusa sees many Pokemon having pain, it comes to senses, it shouldn’t do others pain, it should only do it when in danger.

As all other Pokemon are already gone, she thinks she killed them in a rush. Now she wants to make it good with helping you. However, she also doesn’t want to hurt the ultimate trainers Pokemon, so she will only use the attacks she used as a Tangela, at the time she was still clean and innocent, in contrast to her brute and arrogant new self.
Once she helped you and you returned to your home, Espeon/Umbreon was there. You left Espeon/Umbreon there once you got your ultimate bond. She told that her sisters died to the magical spores of Medusa and that the last thing they said was that they felt bad.
