1st Spell: [Video]

[friendyousohard]

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!

[That gets a warm chuckle out of her.] I can imagine. So what did you each take home from that?

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

I got a Pinsir, and Dash got a Scyther. Fluttershy was just happy to make the bugs happy, an' didn't catch any of 'em.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

[A quick check of her dex.]

Wow, those look really powerful. A strong, sturdy one for you and a fast, offensive one for Dash, huh? Sounds perfect.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

An' how about you? What's your starter?

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

[Twilight grins at that, and shifts the camera a bit.]

Meet Spike.

[The Dratini leans in to give the camera a curious peer, and squeaks happily in greeting.]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Aw, hey there, little fella. I swear, you an' dragons go together like apples and cinnamon.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Finding him was the first good thing to happen to me here. Finding out you girls were all here waiting for me was the second.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

An' the hug I got waitin' for you here'll be the third.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to that.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Me neither, sugarcube. Just be on the lookout for a big bird an' we'll be seein' you tonight.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

That soon? You're sure your friend will be able to come by so quickly?

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Well... he won't be makin' the trip himself. He's... in the hospital.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

He's what? What happened to him?

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

...He got caught up in Team Rocket's last attack. Wound up messin' up his arm. He's fine, but he needs his rest.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Team Rocket... [She's been hearing entirely too much about them.] Something needs to be done.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

I couldn't agree more, Twi. All the grief they've caused poor Pinkie Pie is enough, but attackin' a train an' stealin' people's pokey-mon ain't okay.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

I don't have the strength or the knowledge to fight them yet, but... I promise, AJ, as soon as I do I'm going to do everything in my power to make them pay.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

An' I'll be there with you when that day comes. But...

[This discussion was getting way too serious.]

But for right now... let's worry about you gettin' here to see us.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

... Right. Right, there's no point in getting ahead of ourselves. I just...

[They messed with Pinkie. Pinkie.]

Well, nevermind. Are you going to ask your friend once we're done here?

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Yes ma'am. You just keep your eye on the sky an' keep warm. You can stay with me an' Fluttershy 'til we can set you up with a room of your own.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

... Thanks AJ. I'll be waiting. You said a few hours?

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Should be. Will you be okay, 'til then?

[Not that she can really do anything from here, but big sis mode is active and there's nothing you can do about it.]

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

I can last that long. Maybe I'll take Spike outside and get a jump start on training. Or study the Pokedex some more, but I'd really love to see some of them in the wild...

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

I reckon you'll be teachin' me, soon enough. We'll go sightseein' in the mornin', see if we can find ourselves somethin' to catch.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

I'd love that! Using one of these "Pokeballs" would be amazing.
