            “Ouch!” Red winced as he glanced in the mirror. Although he had won the cycling race, he was absolutely covered in bug bites thanks to the shortcut through the Beedrill’s nest. He managed to cover the expression though, as Poliwrath handed him the anti-itch cream. Pikachu was busy dabbing another portion of the medicine on his own bug bites, while Bulbasaur was snoozing, photosynthesizing in the sunshine to regain the hit points lost from all those bug-type attacks. He smiled at the grass pokémon, before rooting around in his backpack for an Antidote. He wasn’t sure if people could get poisoned from a Beedrill’s stinger, but it was better safe than sorry.
