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.]

[buckyouup]

New Bark, accordin' to the sign. Not that I know where that even is.

[bestofthebest]

(Rainbow has to facepalm at hearing that one. Here we go again...)

Everypony really DOES start there! It's really far from where I'm at now.

[buckyouup]

[Sigh.]

Then I better start walkin'.

[bestofthebest]

...Do you even know how to walk without hooves?!

(More teaching lessons?)

[buckyouup]

[She huffs.] I'm figurin' it out!

[bestofthebest]

(Cue grin.) I could teach you! Once you get to Violet, I mean.

[buckyouup]

I'm doin' just fine on my own. I don't need no help.

[bestofthebest]

Hehe, alright. We'll see how far you get after you've fallen in the snow a few times.

(Rainbow has experience in that, but she's not about to mention it.)

[buckyouup]

Don't you worry. I'll be back on my feet an' beatin' you in races again in no time.

[bestofthebest]

(Ooh, a challenge!)

Anytime, anywhere! I'm still the IronPony, after all.

[buckyouup]

We'll see how long that title stays now that you ain't got no wings.

[bestofthebest]

(Rainbow pouts almost immediately, glancing away from the screen for a long moment.)

...Even without my wings, I can still beat you.

(May or may not be a taboo phrase to bring up around her, AJ.)

[buckyouup]

[She looks at her friend. She was not expecting the pout. Being a human was really hitting her hard, isn't it?]

Aw, heck, Rainbow, you know I'm just teasin'.

[bestofthebest]

I know, but...being here in Johto is awesome, but every night I go to sleep and can't feel my wings! I wake up, hoping it's all a dream and...it's not.

[buckyouup]

It can't be so bad, can it? At least you can fly with the pokey-mon.

[bestofthebest]

(She grins softly, nodding.) None of mine can fly yet, but Blaze hopes to one day.

[buckyouup]

What's a Blaze?

[bestofthebest]

My Pokemon~!

(Rainbow pulls out a Pokeball, tosses it and soon enough Applejack finds herself staring at a Charmander, who waves and shoots a Flamethrower in the sky with a loud 'CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!'. Dash laughs while recalling Blaze and pulling the screen back up to her face.)

You'll meet Blaze face-to-face soon.

[buckyouup]

[Applejack's eyes go wide. That thing sure looked a hell of a lot more impressive than what she was stuck with.]

I'm lookin' forward to it.

[bestofthebest]

(Rainbow's grin widened a bit at seeing Applejack's expression. She was feeling a lot better.)

Thanks, Applejack. You're the coolest friend a girl could have!

[buckyouup]

[She chuckles.] Whatever you say, Rainbow Dash.
