Physical Description

By Keilidh

Breloom is a bipedal, mushroom-like Pokémon with some kangaroo or theropod-like qualities, most notably its legs. Most of its body is green, but its head to its neck and its tail are beige. On top of its head is a green, mushroom-like cap with beige gills underneath and two round, red berry-like growth with a hole in the middle on either side. It has oval, shiny, black eyes, a beak-like mouth, and frilled segments around the base of its neck. There are two red claws on each of its hands and feet. Its arms look nonexistent at first but can actually extend to deliver powerful punches. At the end of its tail, there are seed clusters made of hardened toxic spores that are horrible to eat.

History

Breloom was first discovered within the archipelago that is the Hoenn region. It was found in warm, temperate forests where it could freely spread its spores and raise its shroomish babies. No one took breloom quite seriously before until it knocked out some people with a one-two punch. The pokemon is now recognized as a world-class melee fighter, rivaling hitmonchamp in its speeds and punches. Breloom also gained recognition for its abilities to paralyze, poison or gas foes to sleep with its spores. People like to wonder how a simple looking pokemon like shroomish evolved into a fighting mushroom.

Society

Breloom often form vanguards of their own kind within their forests. Together, they are like an unbreakable wall that also punches you to oblivion. If that isn't enough, they will often spread their spores throughout the enemy camp, causing a variety of crippling conditions. Their young, shroomish, often are being protected but also take part in the war effort by spreading their own spores, which are no less deadly. Breloom love to fight in melee, hand-to-hand combat in their free time, even with other pokemon. A breloom has even been known to hold its own against combusken.

Breloom Names

Breloom usually take names that are related to the forest or fungi in Sylvan and a dash of Common. Shroomish usually have simple names of the same nature. When they evolve, they can add on to their name to make it more complex, showing their maturity.
