Kinger, now looking much more like dried mushrooms than fresh ones, stumbles backwards a bit from the Pumpkaboo before Ingraining himself.

"'Stuck in the Ground' technique!" Kinger croaks hoarsely.

The Pumpkaboo turn to look at the clearest threat and float over the sleeping Gourgeist towards Flowey.

Flowey feels both validated and a little doomed that he is now the biggest threat. Pumpkaboo manages to knock him down with a Shadow Sneak. He only has Grass-type moves to counter with, so in the end, his only defense is to Grasswhistle until all of them are asleep in a pumpkin pile.

That's one way to end the battle, he guesses. Flowey turns to Kinger. "Got any Blast Seeds? Poisonous berries? A gun?"

"I've been told Astonish is good against ghosts, so- AGH! AGH! AGH!"

Kinger repeatedly screams at all of the ghost Pokémon, whittling down their health as best he can with a (super effective!) 30 base power and 35 attack.

"YOU IDIOT!" Flowey screams. Even when it's super effective, that move is weak as hell!!!!!

But it's too late. All the Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist get a rude awakening, weakened but alive-- and very grumpy. Flowey lets out a perfect Wilhelm scream as the ghosts surround the Sunkern and beat him up.

"Flowey!"

Kinger panics as he realizes his mistake, and realizes that if he still has the ability to glow that he had in the circus then maybe...

Kinger focuses his energy and tries to manifest a healing butterfly, and to his surprise a yellow butterfly does materialize in front of him briefly out of powder flowing from his mushroom caps, but instantly dissolves into pollen and blows away.

Kinger focuses harder, forming a butterfly again and then letting more and more pollen flow into it until it is a dense sphere of healing(?) pollen.

"Steady..."

Kinger tries to aim for where Flowey is in the mass of pumpkins, but as he fires it off a Pumpkaboo moves in the way and takes the full force of his Pollen Puff, blasting it away from the group and knocking it out.

The other Pumpkaboo seems to realize that Kinger means business and take off. Gourgeist seems to have gotten tired of beating Flowey up and leaves, taking the unconscious Pumpkaboo with it.

Mission complete! Fortunately, Flowey is cognizant enough to take his own advice and use Ingrain as well. Within a few moments, he should be fine. Mostly. For now, they're just two bros drinking nutrients from the soil together.

In the chaos, the Gourgeist left a pile of... something? Kinger strengthens his glow so they can see what it is.

"Is that just a big pile of candy."

[friendlyflower]

"... hey, was this whole thing some stupid Halloween bit?!" Well, NOW it all makes sense. "Don't eat that, it's probably going to turn you into a pig."

we can either leave this here or have more flowey and kinger hangouts, up to you

[0dchess]

Kinger, still looking somewhat dehydrated, nods confusedly. He has no idea if Flowey is referencing something from his own world or if Bottlecap Bay has magic pig candy.

"Now... I've never figured out how to unroot myself."
