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.]

Ha, alright then! (Rainbow's totally inspired to help!) I'll see if one of my Psychic Pokemon can help you out.

(Technically, Rainbow does have two Psychic types; Ditzy is pure Water with Psychic-like attacks.)

Ha, easy-peasy Twilight: wait until Snails goes to sleep, then hit him with a HUGE Dream Eater attack to mess up his dreams! It'll totally help him see reason.

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

Duh, of course a punishment! Besides, how else would you get him to understand?

Hmm...maybe Snails just needs to bond with other Pokemon who don't enjoy pranks that much.
bestofthebest: No Way! (Surprised)

Yeah...too bad we just can't ask him outright.

Really? I thought it was 'cause he did everything so slow.

...You mean like, when we offer him some Pokemon food it takes him 5 minutes before he realizes he's starving?

(Probably not that long, but close enough.)

(While she recognizes the annoyed tone in Twilight's voice, it doesn't stop Rainbow from grinning once more or playfully nudging her friend.)

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.

Hahaha, sure it was Twilight. (A beat while she yawns.) Maybe there's more behind his pranks than just how funny they are.

(A shrug.) Maybe in his own way, he's trying to get you to relax?

(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.

Haha, no but you sure seemed upset moments ago!

(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?

(Rainbow stops petting Daring as she just stares up at Twilight's 'backup' for a while.)

...Whoa!

(She was almost rendered speechless.)

If you have, I was probably out...training! Yeah, that's it. Dash likes being the only 'shiny' Pokemon on my team too, but she won't hold it against me if I did get another one someday.

(Rainbow waves briefly in response to Robo's pose. And she was definitely sleeping during those moments of showing off.)

That's gotta be one of the few types I don't have, Bug types being another one.
