6th Spell: [Video/Action for Ecruteak]

[Twilight's standing in front of Ecruteak's gym as she turns on her gear, grinning one of those smiles that just refuses to go down.]

I've heard of a lot of things that you "always remember your firsts" of. I think everyone has something like that. Big events have a way of leaving an impression on your mind, after all, especially if you've never done anything like them before.

[She holds up a little something before the camera.]

I wonder if this'll fall into that category.

Hey, that gives me a thought. Who out there remembers their first gym victory? Any good stories? Did you have a good fight, or did you just steamroll the leader? Did you win your first time? Did you plan everything out before you came into the gym or just wing it? Anything you want to share would be fun to hear.

And on a completely different note, does anyone know where I can get a Munchlax egg? I've been reviewing my team and I could really use a tough normal type.

Thanks, Fluttershy. And thank you for coming with me... I know that can't have been easy for you.

[She wasn't entirely certain she actually wanted Shy in there after the first ghost popped out, point of fact, but she carried on like a trooper... well, for Fluttershy, anyway.]

I-It's okay! You'd know I'd do anything for a friend.

Still... you were jumping around all over the place in there. I feel kinda bad for bringing you in. Let me make it up to you. Let's go get ice cream.

[Because that will make everything better, right?]

[That's Pinkie Pie logic. So of course it works.]

It is the right time of year for ice cream...

[Remember, when trying to cheer someone up, ask yourself "what would Pinkie do?"]

It really is. Things'll be getting hot and muggy pretty soon.

[She starts heading in the direction of the grocery store.] Well, better than when I arrive and everything was so cold.

[Follows, of course.]

It's hard to predict the weather here, without the Pegasi to help regulate it.

True, but the seasons seem to go as they should regardless. We might not be able to predict when it'll rain, but we can at least tell when it's going to warm up or cool down. Sudden changes notwithstanding.

Actually, I'm glad. I was thinking I wanted to leave town soon now that I've got the badge, and the weather will be good for travel.

Where will we be going next?

Well, we have a few options, and that's one of the reasons I'm bringing this up now.

We could head south, back to Violet City, and make a quick loop through there, Azalea, and Goldenrod so I can pick up those badges. We probably won't spend all that much time in any of those cities if we go that route.

Or we could go east, through Mount Mortar, and swing into Mahogany Town. If we go that way it'll take us a while, because we'll have to first get through the mountain, and then stay in Mahogany until I've trained up enough to beat the gym leader there, who's very tough.

And then there's west, where Olivine and Cianwood are. That's heading out to the ocean, so we'll be ending up riding Spike across the sea to Cianwood once we're done with Olivine, and then we'll have to turn around and come back. We'll probably be out there for a few weeks to just over a month, I'm thinking.

So those are our options. Do you like any of them in particular?

[She mulls it over, trying to decide... but then one idea pops up.]

If we head back to Violet, we might be able to go through the Azalea forest! I love that place! It's so beautiful, and there are so many Pokemon!

[Well, that sounds like an answer to her. She beams at that plan.]

Great! And I never got a chance to go through that area before anyway, so it's win-win. South it is!

There's just one thing you should know... There's a shrine in the forest we mustn't touch.

A... shrine? [She frowns, confused by that.] A shrine to what? A Pokemon? A Legendary of some sort?

I think so, but no one talks about it too much. if you touch it... you somehow get kicked right out of the forest!

Kicked out of the forest... By what? Or does no one know that?

[She shakes her head.]

All I know is that if you touch it... you're suddenly not in the forest anymore.

That's... unnerving.

[She pauses for a moment, thinking it over.] But as long as you don't tamper with the shrine, you're fine, right?

A-huh. The forest is really pleasant. There are lots of cute bugs.

Well that's good to hear. Maybe Megasoma can make a friend or two.

And when the weather gets warmer, we can take shade under the trees!

We can do that, sure! Looks like we've got a lot to look forward to for this trip.

You'll like it all. I've been through a lot of what we'll go through...

Then I'll be counting on you to show me the way.

[She wraps an arm around Shy's shoulders.] I'm glad to have you along with me.

[Does this mean it's hug time? Cause Flutters is always down for hug time. She smiles, and huuuugs.]

I'm glad you're here too.

[With these two, hug time is all the time. Twilight smiles and leans into her, butting her head gently.]

And I'll stay here, with you. Just like I promised.
