Route 4, Roria

"Why didn't you wait for me to give you your command?" Donald scolded Stozap, "I wanted you to use Pounce instead of Storm Summon because I knew about Geklow's Lightning Rod ability. We're lucky that Geklow used Stare instead of getting a good hit in while you were resting to regain more energy."

Stozap squealed and rolled his eyes.

"We're supposed to work as a team, Stozap. I come up with the strategies and you carry them out."

Their conversation was interrupted by a phone call from Doug. Donald answered his LoomiWatch.

"Hey champ, it's Doug. I've been able to triangulate a more accurate coordinate for the energy signature of the next piece of the stone tablet. Looks like it's on the far end of Route 5."

Donald took a look at his map. Route 5 was right after Route 4.

"I'll need you to examine the area once you get there to find out exactly where the tablet piece is."

"Alright." Donald nodded.

"I'll leave you to it. Good luck."

The call ended.

"Stozap, don't attack without my orders." Donald told the weasel Loomian, "I'll come up with the best way to win a fight."

Stozap scoffed.

Not long after entering Route 4, they bumped into another Loomian Trainer. 

"Hey," the girl asked, "wanna battle? I've been trapped here for so long because of that goop. My Loomians are itching to fight."

Before Donald could respond, Stozap accepted the battle invitation and jumped in between them. The girl—Cassedy—sent out a Level 13 Geklow.

"Stozap, use Swipe."

Stozap charged at Geklow and scratched him with his claws. Geklow lost nearly half his health bar.

"Geklow, use Stare!"

Geklow stared right into Stozap's eyes, lowering the latter's Melee Defense. This aggravated Stozap, and he used Storm Summon.

"Stozap, stop!" Donald shouted.

Stozap didn't listen as he summoned thunder clouds, but all of the lightning bolts were attracted to Geklow's tail due to his Lightning Rod ability. Geklow's Ranged Attack rose.

"Geklow, use Spare!"

The opposing Geklow smacked Stozap across the face. Stozap snarled, and he used Swipe, and he took out another large chunk of Geklow's health bar. He followed up with a Pounce, and knocked Geklow out.

"You're not bad," Cassedy said, "but can you defeat my next Loomian?"

She sent out a Level 13 Kabunga.

"Stozap, rest!" Donald ordered.

Stozap growled and didn't want to listen. Instead, he tried to attack once more. However, Stozap lacked enough energy and flailed in exhaustion. He managed to strike Kabunga, but Stozap was also hurt by his own reckless attack.

He's disobeying my orders again! Donald thought.

"Stozap, you're going to only end up hurting yourself even more if you don't rest to regain energy points." 

Stozap reluctantly let his guard down to rest for a brief moment. 

"Kabunga, Petal Pummel!"

Kabunga spun around and sent pink petals to strike Stozap. Due to Stozap's guard being down, Kabunga's attack landed, and it left Stozap with only eighteen Health Points left.

Stozap angrily launched himself at Kabunga and used Swipe. Kabunga jumped to dodge it. Stozap roared, and he once again lunged at Kabunga.

"Kabunga, Pine Shot!" 

Kabunga's attack struck twice, and Stozap was now left with only seven Health Points left.

"Stozap, you need to—"

Stozap refused to listen, and he continued to recklessly charge at Kabunga. Kabunga dodged most of his Swipes, but one lucky hit knocked him out.

Stozap, Paratweet, and Propae all leveled up from the experience gained from the battle.

Donald gained 416 LoomiCoins from the battle.

"That was a good fight," Cassedy said as she returned her Kabunga to her Loomian Disk, "but I think you and your Stozap need to be better in sync."

"Yeah, I noticed."

"I'll head to Silvent City to heal up my Loomians." Cassedy waved as she walked past them, "Bye. Good luck on your journey."

Propae's Capture Disk glowed and Propae came out of it. He floated into the air as a bright glowing energy surrounded it, and once the energy dispersed, Propae's appearance had changed drastically. He was now an orange and black moth with a tuft of darker orange fur around its neck. He had yellow eyes and his antennae had orange and yellow tips.

Donald scanned him with his LoomiWatch.

#028 - Cynamoth (Moth Loomian)
Bug/Air-Type
While drinking from flowers, a Cynamoth gathers pollen on the tuft around its neck. This pollen is known to cause a variety of reactions in Loomians and humans alike.

"Congrats, Cynamoth," Donald said. He returned Cynamoth to his Capture Disk. Donald also returned Stozap to his Capture Disk.

I'll go back to Silvent City and heal Stozap at Loomian Trainer Center since it's still nearby. It'll save me on needing to use Meds.

Loomian Trainer Station, Silvent City, Roria

At the Loomian Trainer Station, Donald healed up his team, even though Stozap was the only one who needed to heal. He looked over his current team.

Stozap (Male)
Level 19

Torprey (Male)
Level 20

Paratweet (Male)
Level 17

Twilat (Female)
Level 14

Pyder (Female)
Level 14

Kleptyke (Male)
Level 13

Cynamoth (Female)
Level 16

Stozap and Torprey will both evolve at Level 34. There is still a long ways to go.

Route 4, Roria

Once he reached the entrance of Route 4 again, Donald sent out Stozap. "Stozap, do you want me to release you?"

Stozap was surprised by the question, and he shook his head profusely. 

"You don't want to seem to act like a team. You repeatedly disregarded my orders. If you want to fight without any orders, then I'll release you so you can be a wild Loomian."

Stozap shook his head again and squealed.

"You won't be the first Loomian I send out to battle for a while." Donald returned Stozap to his Capture Disk. 

It's rather difficult for me to control a Loomian if they won't listen. I can't use violence to keep them in line. Not only do I know that I will lose against these superpowered animals, but I'm sure there are laws against Loomian abuse.

Author's Note: I would say Stozap's personality is comparable to Wolf's.
