1st Spell: [Video]

Er... I think this is how it works.

Um... greetings. Er... I mean, hello. Or... well, whatever humans say in a situation like this. Is there proper etiquette for when you've been captured to another planet and had your species changed?

[Twilight is interrupted by a Dratini sticking his head into the camera, curious.]

Spike, cut that out. Um... and if the other Spike is seeing this, I promise, I named him after you, he's not a replacement.

Speaking of people listening to this, can anypony tell me if there is an Applejack, a Fluttershy, a Rarity, a Rainbow Dash, or a Pinkie Pie around? They're all very close friends of mine and I'd very much like to get in touch with them. As for me, I'm Twilight Sparkle.

I guess that's all I have for now...

Wait, no. One more question. How do you humans walk with two legs? I feel like I'm going to fall flat on my face!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

And... do we have any idea who or what sent you there?

[Because really, that just sounds completely random, but Twilight really wants someone to blame.]

Not a clue!

[She sort of wishes she did, just so she could go frown at them.]

I was afraid of that...

Well, I guess right now all we can do is what you've been doing, until we figure out a way to clear your name and strike back.

[Pinkie puts on a surprisingly serious face.]

Team Rocket is really bad news, Twilight. It's gonna take a lot of training to beat them, and they're not exactly obvious. I heard on the train they had members pretending to be normal, and then the rest of them parachuted in. Even though there were people on the train who had really strong pokémon, they couldn't fight because their pokémon were too big, and there were a ton of innocent people on board that could have gotten hurt. And a lot of people did get hurt, some of them as badly as getting broken bones. They're not just bullies, and I don't think it's gonna be as easy as stuff we had to face back home.

Discord and Nightmare Moon weren't exactly pushovers. I'm not going to underestimate Team Rocket, and I won't go after them until I'm ready, but I won't let them get away with what they did.

... But I'm not going to go rushing in without a plan, either. Don't forget who you're talking to.

It'd be pretty hard to forget who I'm talking to while I'm talking to them!

[But she does look relieved.]

It's an expression, Pinkie.

Though... hmm, I just had a thought. Are there any forces, aside from the police I mean, working against Team Rocket? Groups of trainers working together?

I don't think there's anything official, but a lot of the trainers here are really good people.

But they aren't working together... If they did, then...

Well, I guess that's a thought for another day. I've got to take this one problem at a time.

They work together sometimes! I heard they went to raid the old hideout but there was no one there.

Of course not. If they knew their hideout had been compromised the first thing they'd do is move.

Yeah, you're right. It seemed like they were planning the move for a while!

Which means they were alerted pretty early on. They must have a good information network.

I dunno, from what I understand people had been mentioning it was in Mahogany for ages on the pokégear network!

... Which means people around here just don't know how to keep things quiet. Great.

Oooh, but I meant people in Team Rocket! So the people brought here who are on the bad side aren't very good at it either.

Well that's good at least. Maybe it'll be helpful.

Oh I hope so. Those bullies really need to be stopped.

We'll figure something out. We're all together now, and that counts for something.

You're right, of course! Together we can do anything.

First things first, I really need to get to where you girls are.

You could hire someone to fly you here! But it might be a little harder to train since the wild pokémon around here are stronger than they are between where you are and the next town.

Could you girls help me with that? Can we... fight them together or something?

I dunno about fighting them together... It might be easier to lend you a pokémon so you can switch between it and your own until it's strong enough to fight on its own?

That would work too. It would be like having one of you with me.
