010 Bushels ❦ [Video/Action for New Bark Town]

[buckyouup]

[Good evening, residents of Johto. I hope you're a fan of loud sounds! The 'Gear feed opens to the sound of a loud crack of a backpack hitting a tree, before splashing down into a pile of snow.]

You ate all my food, you good-for-nothing thief! [A young woman's voice yells out in a heavy southern drawl. The target of her frustration wanders into view: a Munchlax, who takes the opportunity to rummage through her backpack for any morsel he might have left behind in his last raid. His eyes grow wide at the sight of the pokegear. It's so shiny and red, like a big yummy apple.

...And then anyone watching gets to find out what the inside of a Munchlax's mouth looks like.]

Gimme that! That ain't for eatin'!

[A woman's hand rips the 'Gear from the pokemon's mouth, the force causing her to topple backwards into the snow. She appears to be in her early twenties, her face dotted with freckles and framed with golden-blonde hair tied into a ponytail near the bottom. Wearing nothing but a pair of blue jeans and an orange button-down, she doesn't exactly look properly dressed for the weather. She shifts awkwardly in the snow, fumbling with the 'Gear.]

Darn these wiggly things, an' this weird body. [She snorts in frustration, before giving up and using her mouth to turn off the feed.]

Applejack?

[Twilight's voice is stunned, and the look on her face is no less than flabbergasted. She momentarily ignores the fact that there is a Munchlax trying to eat her friend's gear, and just stares dumbly at the screen for a few moments. That can't possibly be anypony else, can it?]

AJ... is that you?

[buckyouup]

[Have a look of equal confusion.]

Twilight...? S'that you? What is this crazy place?

[friendyousohard]

[Twilight smiles brightly as her guess is confirmed, the shock fading away quickly.]

It's called Johto, and... Oh, there's so much to tell you. I'm guessing nopony else has gotten in touch with you yet? So you haven't seen the guide?

["And you don't remember anything", she doesn't add. That's something to worry about later. Right now she's just too happy to have another of her girls here with her.]

[buckyouup]

[She huffs.]

All I've seen so far is this weird little monster eatin' everythin' I own that even remotely resembles food.

Darn thing even ate one'a my boots...

[friendyousohard]

That's a Munchlax. I have an older version, I can't imagine why they'd have given you that for your starter and not a Growlithe or a Houndour...

[She stops and shakes her head.]

Never mind, I'm babbling. Listen, there should be a red and white ball somewhere in that backpack or on your belt. If you hold that up, you can bring the creature inside it so that it'll stop eating everything it sees. Yes, I know it doesn't look like it should fit, but it's... well, almost a kind of magic, really. Just trust me, okay?

[bestofthebest]

...Applejack?

(Rainbow's voice is filled with surprise and disbelief. She took a moment to stare at a Munchlax, blinked a few times and got really close to the screen.)

AJ? It's me! It's Rainbow Dash!

[buckyouup]

R-Rainbow Dash? What in tarnation is goin' on?

[bestofthebest]

...I'm guessing you haven't talked to Twilight yet. Anyway, you've been called to another world -just like us! And that's your Pokemon.

(The one who may or may not be still eating your 'Gear.)

[buckyouup]

[You don't need to worry about the 'Gear. The Munchlax has since moved on, much more interested in one of AJ's leather boots.]

Pokey-mon? S'that what this thing's called?

[for_realsies]

What are you normally?

*She seems chipper and smiling and dressed kinda weird.*

I guess the human thing is pretty weird.

[buckyouup]

I certainly ain't whatever they've turned me into here. I'm an earth pony.

[for_realsies]

Ohhhh.

Equestrian. Friends with Rainbow Dash?

[buckyouup]

Y-yeah, actually. [She blinks. So far everyone in town she's talked to has looked at her like she's crazy.]

S'everypony here from Equestria?

[unended]

[ he doesn't approach immediately, partly because he's not sure he'll be able to communicate properly but then no one else seems to have trouble understanding him. the rest of it is discomfort in being in a new place which just makes him kind of nervous. he was supposed to move to Seoul, not... this place.

but this girl looks like she could use a hand, not to mention a coat. ]

Are you okay, miss?

[buckyouup]

[She manages to wiggle herself free from the snowbank she tumbled in after her struggle with Munchlax. Still, most of her body is caked with snow.]

I reckon I'll live. But this place sure is strange.

[unended]

I think strange is putting it mildly. [ he smiles a little and...feels bad there's not much he can do about the snow thing. ]

I think feeling cold is universal though, however strange this place might be. Do you have a coat? [ he tugs at his own. ]

[buckyouup]

[She shakes her head.]

If I did, it's in that chubby li'l monster's belly right now.

video - sneaking in from hiatus shhh

[3_butterflies]

[There's a bit of heavy breathing on the other line - as if somepony is terribly ill. She thought she heard a familiar voice... but she's been so sick, is it just a dream? She tries to turn it on, revealing a sweaty face but a familiar voice and familiar shade of pink hair. A Teddiursa is trying to take the gear away from her - you need to rest!]

Apple... jack...?

eee

[buckyouup]

[Pony that's burning up? Have a pony that's freezing to death.]

Fluttershy!? S'that you? What in the hay happened to you?

[3_butterflies]

[She blinks, and then smiles drowsily, closing her eyes.]

I'm so glad... I could see you again... Even if it's just a dream...

[buckyouup]

[She raises an eyebrow.]

What are you talkin' about, sugarcube? I'm right here.

[islandshore]

Applejack?

[...Hmm. Doesn't seem like she remembers. Not that it'd be a first.]

Sheesh. Sounds like you've got your hands full with that Munchlax.

[buckyouup]

[She sighs.] I ain't sure he even knows I'm here.

[islandshore]

Could try waving a hand in front of his face.

[Though that might put her hand at risk.]

[buckyouup]

I'd rather my hand didn't end up in his mouth, if it's all the same t'you.

[Sigh.] If only Fluttershy were here. She's way better with animals than anypony else.
