19th Spell: [Video]
[The first thing the camera shows when the feed clicks on is the dopey face of a Slowbro. Snails peers into the lens for a few moments before very, very slowly winking at the gear and then pulling his head out of the way, showing the view of Twilight and Applejack sitting on a dock, fishing poles in hand. They're talking about something, but it's hard to hear with how far back the gear is.
Suddenly, Pinkie Pie, sporting a huge grin on her face (and slitted eyes that might make people who know both Pinkie Pie and Zoroarks wonder if this is the genuine article), starts sneaking up on them. Snails pops his head back in and raises a finger to his mouth in a shushing gesture as the other former pony gets closer to the two.
Suddenly AJ's line starts tugging. The two girls begin talking eagerly and excitedly enough to completely miss the third one sneaking up behind them. As Applejack tries to pull up her catch, Pinkie reaches out...
And promptly shoves them both off the pier, yelping. They fall out of the water and start shouting angrily as Pinkie Pie giggles merrily at them, then frolics off as they swim out after her. Twilight, however, stops when she reaches the shore and sees Snails and her gear. Growling something under her breath, she stalks over and picks up the device, glaring at it as she swipes her soaked bangs out of her eyes.]
There's two lessons to take from this. One, pay attention to your surroundings. Two, if you have Pokemon or friends who are prone to pranks, make sure they aren't left alone when you're trying to relax.
Now the question is, did he team up with the actual Pinkie or one of the Zoroarks we have...?
[Grumbling, Twilight turns off the gear as she stalks off to discipline some Pokemon and possibly a fellow pony.]

I give it 7 out of 10. Good use of surprise, but the best pranks involve not getting caught.

...Don't encourage 'em.

But if I don't encourage 'em, how'll they ever learn?

[Somepony...? Moving on.]
Like I said, 7 out of 10, tops. Definitely room for improvement. The easiest target isn't always the funniest target.

Oh, come on. Cheer up. You know the best response is to get even, right?

[The one thing that would make Snails's pranks worse would be him getting away with them.]
[video]
Never thought about that. That's a planning problem.
[video]
Then again, I guess if I didn't already know, I wouldn't suspect him.
[video]
[And if Jack ever meets him in person, he will be sure to give him a few tips to help out.]
[video]
[Not exactly the most unbiased opinion there.]
[video]
They're kinda like kids sometimes, right? You ever tried to redirect him?
[Nice big fancy word, that. He learned it hanging around some of the parents around Burgess in between his own pranks.]

[Hadn't somebody just compared his winter storm-making to party planning? There's an idea.]
Surprise parties.

Like Pinkie... Huh, I can't believe I didn't see that before.
