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.]

Puh-lease! It was all in good fun, I'm sure he didn't mean for anyone to get hurt and just because I gave him to you doesn't mean anything! You don't see Daring try to make me read books about egghead professors, do you?
(Action)
It was a joke, Rainbow.
(Action)
Oh. Still, getting Snails to stop pulling pranks is like...getting Pinkie Pie to stop being Pinkie Pie!
(Action)
(Action)
(Technically, Rainbow does have two Psychic types; Ditzy is pure Water with Psychic-like attacks.)

[Especially given that Twi already has Starswirl, Clover, and Apus.]

(Or at least try to pull pranks on somepony who's not his trainer.)

[... Effort.]

(Probably not that long, but close enough.)
(Action)
Exactly. I mean, I realize that's common among his species, but still.
(Action)
Betcha wish you'd taken that chance to evolve him into a Slowking now, huh? He might be willing to talk if his IQ levels rose to egghead status.

(And another beat, while lightly petting Daring's head.) You're gonna fight Chuck with just Snails? I was gonna go in with Espeon, Kirlia and have Daring face his Poliwrath.
(Action)
[She chuckles.] Snails is just about the perfect Pokemon to take chuck on. Not only is he part Psychic, but the Water typing will help against Poliwrath too. Plus he has the Curse move to help boost his defense power even higher than it already is. Of course, it'll drop his speed too, but that doesn't really make a difference for him...
Of course, if Chuck does bring him down, I do have backup. [She plucks a Pokeball from her belt and grins at it.]
(Action)
(She listens to Twilight's strategy involving Snails while briefly glancing around before petting Daring's head a few more times.) Backup? It's Tesla, isn't it?
