21st Spell: [Video/Action for Olivine]

[friendyousohard]

[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.]

Given that the usual purpose behind a seance is to summon spirits of the dead, you could also say that it succeeded beyond their wildest expectations.

Also, how in the world did you do that without pulverizing your hand? I didn't think that sort of durability was humanly possible.

[If she had hooves Twilight could totally believe it, but frail human hands? How did all of her bones not break?]

I'm not sure if you could use the word beyond, this is a pretty wild expectation. [ And then a kick to an incoming kabuto shuffles the thing away. ]

I specialize in hand to hand combat back home. A lot of the strength I have is gone but I still am pretty strong here regardless. Even though it's rock, it's organic, so it's not like I'm punching an actual mountain. [ Her broken hand can be taken to the pokémon center later!! ]

[friendyousohard]

So they aren't quite as hard as actual rocks. I suppose that's reasonable. So it's less raw strength and more knowing how to hit them?

[godaime]

Raw strength plays into it quite a bit. Back home, I was able to use a skyscraper sized knife with my bare hands and I could easily pummel the ground. A single blow from me could kill.

But those abilities are pretty reduced here. I'm still quite a strong person - I can crash through bricks and cinderblocks and wood without difficulty so strength definitely plays into it but you have to weaken the contents of the rock first with water or something. Make it crack so you can make it break!

[friendyousohard]

Wait, what? Wood I can understand, but cinderblocks? Without any enhancement, a human body, even one at the height of its strength trained to perfection shouldn't be capable of that!

Have my studies been flawed...?

[ video ]

[godaime]

Yes. Breaking a cinderblock, or wood, isn't necessarily about strength. It's more about physics and knowing where to strike. Of course, if I said this at the start, you wouldn't think of my strength as impressive. [ in other words: she's a politician. ]
