011 Bushels ❦ [Video/Action for Violet]

[buckyouup]

[Applejack is standing under a tree, her gaze locked on a single red apple hanging from a branch. She grits her teeth. Dumb human body. If she was a pony, this wouldn't be any problem at all. But damnit, she was hungry. She had to try.]

Alright, Applejack. It's just like back home. Nice an' easy, no problem.

[She backs up a couple steps, before running at the tree. When she gets close, she brings up her leg, forcing it into the trunk of the tree with all her might. She stays there, for a moment, glaring at the trunk, which hasn't budged an inch. The adrenaline quickly wearing off, Applejack yelps, rolling off the tree and grabbing her ankle.]

Dang it! Dumb apple, why can't you just fall!?

[Suddenly, shifting in the branches! AJ's eyes quickly dart up, smiling in expectation. She closed her eyes, holding out her hands. Soon that delicious ruby would be in her hands, and she'll finally be able to--OOF!]



[Applejack's eyes widen as the much-larger-than-an-apple pokemon lands on her chest. The Pineco's eyes narrow, growling.]

Uh, hey there, sugarcube. Let's not get too hasty...

[The feed cuts with the sound of an explosion.]

[Twi was out training not too far from AJ, with Pyrolepi, Snails, and Robo beating everything up under the watchful eye of Tesla, when she hears that explosion. Jumping in startlement, she turns from the current battle as Snails Water Guns the hapless male Nidoran he was fighting into submission, and the others follow her turn.]

AJ... Come on you guys, we've got to go!

[She takes off running, her Pokemon following her... save for Snails, who finishes off the Nidoran and then stands there looking around with the usual Slowpoke look (a vacant stare) on his face. Twilight doesn't even realize he's not following, she's too concerned with getting to Applejack and finding out what just happened.

The run isn't long, and she quickly finds the remnants of the explosion. She tries to make out what's happening in the midst of the smoke, but it's too thick.]

AJ! [Shouting desperately, she rushes in to help.

*Brenn the Squirtle leads the way as Imogen heads over at the sound of the explosion.*

Applejack! What are you doing? Pokemon live in trees, and not all are your friend.

And some apparently explode. That's... new.

(Rainbow once slept through a cloud she was resting on as it was sheared. She's totally sleeping through this explosion against another tree, but her Chikorita Daring, has jumped into action - running to the site of the explosion, a Razor Leaf attack used to clear away the smoke.)

Whoa, you okay over there?

[You didn't not-die and end up in the Pokémon Center, right?]

[togetherforever]

Did...did that pinecone just exploded?

[Mayu doesn't usually like to go up and talk to people but this was a strange sight for her to see and she couldn't just ignore it.]

[video]

[impulsives]

...Wow, that takes me back.

[To the time a whole row of em' exploded on him.]

[darkenedgales]

[Hm, that girl over there looks sort of familiar... it takes Crow a moment to remember where he knows her from, but once she mentions her name aloud, it all comes rushing back and the duelist waves at the screen with a huge grin.]

Hey, Apple--

[--and then the Pineco goes BOOM.]

...jack. [WELP.] You okay there...?

[tapestodiane]

-- Applejack!

_{[CONCERN. Hey, guess who missed she was back, too? This guy. And now he's just kind of cringing. YOU OKAY?]}
