That one Hypno...

Hypno found himself wandering around the Viridian Forest, sadly kicking a rock down the path.

It had only been a few years earlier that he was living the high life - being given extravagant food and a comfy bed by a bunch of haughty humans by helping them get to sleep. But after an unfortunate experience of a bunch of kids getting adverse effects of his hypnosis; particularly a rather attractive redhead who still swirled around his dreams, the humans kicked him out, and he'd been living in the forest among the mud and brush ever since.

Over time, he grew to resent humans. Their weak minds caused them to be easily influenced by his power without him even trying. Their misguided sense of justice caused them to punish him. And their lack of care resulted in him being tossed away like a broken tool.

That said... something about the female humans enticed him. He thought back to the redhead girl who ended up acting like a seel. Seeing her humiliate herself like that was a certain kind of awakening for him. Even thinking about it made him hard. But unfortunately, he couldn't just go around hypnotizing female humans without getting caught...

That was his thought process until he tripped over a sleeping Metapod, landing face first in a pile of Pidgy poop. That was the final straw. He couldn't live like this anymore!
