Unfortunately for Thurstan, a mysterious grass-type lurking from above knows that one of these weak points is around the neck. It manages to sneak a vine down and wrap it around his throat, lifting him off the ground. Try as he might Thurstan could not loosen the death grip around his neck, and eventually he succumbed to the lack of oxygen, hanging limp above ground. The vine keeps him suspended in the air for some time, making sure no air reaches his lungs for the body to revive itself. When the mysterious Pokemon is confident that Thurstan is truly dead, it unwraps the vine around his throat, causing his limp body to hit the ground belly-down with a heavy thud. Keeping themselves concealed in the foilage above the Pokemon takes some morbid satisfaction in playing with the fresh corpse - tugging on his legs and tail with two vines to see them flop about lifelessly, rolling him over onto his back, and pulling his tongue out of his drooling maw - before disposing of his glasses and prying his eyelids open. With one final tug the Pokemon props Thurstan up against the tree it was hiding within, and the dead Rhydon's rolled-up eyes gazed at the creature; of course, as he was no longer among the living, he was unable to identify his killer. The Pokemon then withdraws itself further up the tree, leaving its rhinoceros-like victim to slowly decompose, where he would eventually become one with the tree as its roots would suck up his bodily fluids and liquidized remains to nourish itself...\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t | \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
