21st Spell: [Video/Action for Olivine]

[The view opens to a shot of the sea. Pure, pristine, gorgeous...

And apparently filled with swarms of oncoming Pokemon.]

Tesla, fire!

[A huge blast of electricity rips past Twilight into the sea, striking all the nearby swarming fossil Pokemon and knocking out a good chunk of them.]

Thank Celestia for strong Electric-types... Does anyone know what's causing this? I woke up this morning and the town was practically covered in these ancient Pokemon. I've been doing my best to hold them back, as have several others, but they just keep on coming no matter what we do. Is this happening everywhere?

[A small group of Kabuto, Omanyte, and Tirtouga dare the beach again only to be zapped into unconsciousness by Tesla. The Magnezone doesn't even seem tired when Twilight turns the camera on it, though it would probably be hard to tell...]

We've been okay so far, but we can't keep this up forever. And what if they start coming from somewhere aside from-

[There's a loud cry from behind. Twilight whirls around and the shot pans up to show the top of the lighthouse-

Which is covered in Archen that have just flown down from Route 39.]

The sea. Oh horseapples.

[One of the Archen screeches as it lifts off, and the feed ends with that ominous shot.]

(Rainbow saw Twilight's feed and, once finding an appropriate time to do so, made sure to get in touch with her fellow pony. She was going through mostly the same insanity, but anyone could tell she was having a blast!)

...Okay Lightning: THUNDER!

(That alone should've informed Twilight that she'd made sure to watch her video.)

Give 'em a taste of your Fire Blast, Blaze! (A beat.) 'Sup, Twilight? Everything alright?

(And a quick dodge to the right to avoid a rampant attack.) Solar Beam, Daring!

I reckon she'd be better off tryin' to find out what caused all this. She's strong, all right, but she's smart, too.

[She ducks as an Archen dive-bombs her head, Skits in close pursuit.]

I could say th'same for you. Got any theories yet?

They're both as weird as each other...

[Spike gulps.]

S...swarms? [He remembers what a parasprite swarm was like. That was not pretty. And pokemon were a lot bigger.]

I'm near the National Park, and there are a lot of weird looking birds in the trees.

Safe. Right. [His Forretress surprisingly goes back into her pokeball. Spike guessed she realised that she wasn't quite fast enough to keep up with him and the other two, but her consideration was still surprising. Maybe she did actually like him? No time to ponder that now though!]

Mamara, Raspberry! This way!

[Spike takes off at a jog towards Goldenrod, his Mareep and Gyarados flanking him on either side to keep him safe.]

Are others are okay?

Other than when I challenged him for the badge, no. And that was over a year ago and wasn't really much of a conversation, to be honest. I must have missed him at prom though... dammit.

[Too busy cutting rugs with all his friends and going through the collection of ghost books in the library.]

[Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.]

Okie dokie here. With some grumpy Pokémons that were in a rush to get here. You think they're here to here Gumdrop sing?

To be honest, after a year of adjusting to this place I haven't had any difficulty functioning here... even the Pokemon have gotten a bit easier to deal with after training them for a sufficient amount of time, so I can't say it's just the utilitarian aspects that I miss.

For the time being, at least.

That is a shame. Maybe there'll be another event where you can talk to him? I'd suggest just showing up at the gym, but that's barging in on him at work hours and if you don't plan to challenge him you should probably avoid that.

Pinkie, how would they know your Pokemon was going to sing?

... Though, I guess you could treat them to a surprise performance anyway.

[Channeling the Pinkieness into useful contributions. A favored Twilight Tactic.]

Well, we'd all like to have a little something special we can do, I think. Even if it's not really necessary.

[It's the sort of thing that even between different magical paradigms, magi can understand.]

We're all fine here! AJ and I are more than strong enough to handle what we've been up against so far, and Cadence is safe inside the inn. But I'm more worried about you. Once you get to Goldenrod, find Rarity and Pinkie and get them to Rainbow, alright? She's going to have to take the bulk of protecting them for now.

[And protecting Spike as well, but Twilight knows that if he thinks he's saving them, especially Rarity, he's more likely to put his all into it.]

Actually, it looks like theories might be unnecessary. I've heard about a seance that was held last night. If what I'm getting over the gear is accurate, these are actually the spirits of long-dead Pokemon reclaiming their bodies and rising up against the modern world.

[Well that just sounds like a bad movie.]

Rainbow! Where are Pinkie, Rarity and Spike? Are they safe? Did you get them to Center or the Hotel or... something?

[Rainbow herself Twilight's not all too worried about. Her Pokemon are plenty strong by this point and she should be able to handle herself. But the other ponies and Spike are a completely different story.]

(Uh-oh. Twilight's worried, and that's not a good thing. Better calm her down 'cause when Twilight worries she can't get them out of this...whatever it is!)

It's not easy getting through all these...weird Pokemon, but I'm looking for 'em right now! I left Spike near the Park 'cause he wanted some training before this went down...hang on...GO, DASH!

(Ta-da! A fiery blue mane appears as Rainbow jumps onto Dash's back with Lightning on her shoulder, recalling Daring and then Blaze before the Fire-type broke into a very fast run.)

Heading back to the Park now! Pinkie and Rarity can't be too far from me if I'm reading the Gear right, and the first thing I do when I get Spike I'm gonna drop him off at the Center! And I'll leave Daring to look out for him! (A beat while she blinks a few times.) What's going on, Twilight?!

A seance? Like somepony talkin' to ghosts? I thought that was just somethin' folks said t'scare fillies. That kind of stuff ain't really real, is it?

Maybe one a' the revivin' machines went haywire or somethin'.

Alright, find Spike first, then grab the other girls. Their teams are in no way equipped to deal with this sort of outbreak. I'm counting on you, Rainbow!

[A group of Archen swarm around here, only to be shocked out of the sky by a Discharge. Twilight's hair stands on end, but she seems mostly unaffected despite being at ground zero for Tesla's attacks. Odd.]

As for what's happening, what I can tell is that there was a Seance held last night by Saffron's gym leader, Sabrina. It went wrong, and... well, this is the result. For anything more specific, I don't know.

Keep in mind this is a world where ghosts are an actual thing, AJ. I wouldn't be too surprised if seances actually worked here. What surprises me is that anyone would be powerful enough to call up this many unquiet spirits.

At least we can catch 'em. They ain't dangerous if they're cooped up in balls.

Yeah, but they just keep coming.

... I said that already, didn't I? No matter, it bears repeating. Did they call up all the extinct Pokemon in Johto?

It sure feels like it. Should we get t'higher ground or somethin'? If they're just gonna keep comin' we probably shouldn't be out in the open like this.

Hmmm, not a bad idea, but the only really high place in Olivine is the lighthouse, which...

[She turns her eyes to the lighthouse and the small army of Archen still circling it.]

Well, I think you see the problem.

Y'think turnin' on the light house would scare 'em off?

Well, the lighthouse is powered by a very strong electric Ampharos, and they're flying types, so it's worth a shot. I think we'll have to take the long way and climb it on foot though. Flying in, even on dragonback, seems like a bad idea.

You might be right. Spook is mighty tough, but he's too slow t'make it through that swarm.

And Spike's both strong and fast enough to make it through on his own, but anyone riding him would be flying into a whirlwind of talons and beaks.

Maybe we should send out our stronger flying types to keep them harried while we run up?

Skits can fly well enough with Magnet Rise. Spook should be able t'take out more than a few of 'em.

That's all the flyin' pokemon I got on me, though.
