Twenty-Fourth Flutter [Video/Action for Goldenrod.]

[Today, Fluttershy is outside with her Mareep, Cream. She turns on the Video, for she has an inquiry.]

Um... I was wondering if somepony could help me... I've been here for quite a while, but I don't think I'm doing my job right... so... if you don't mind... maybe... somepony could teach me how to breed?

[For those of you who want Action, she is sitting on a bench, calmly brushing her sheep's wool... and every couple of seconds, gets visibly shocked by it. More like a static shock, but it does make her jerk around. Yet she continues right on brushing. ]

Is there anything I can do for you...?

[She shakes her hand to try to get the feeling back in it, but gives a weak little smile to try to reassure them.]

Y-yeah, I know. It's okay... She can't help it. I should've been more careful.

Oh, I'm just a failure at breeding and Pokemon...

Now stop that. You're not a failure at all, you can't possibly be. After all, you haven't tried yet. We just have to figure out the steps to this process.

You think we can...?

Of course we can. We just need to figure out where to start.

Do you have a Breeder's handbook or something that could give us some tips, maybe?

It should be in my bag...

[Cream grabs it from the bench with her mouth. She wants to be praised for being a good sheep. Baaaaaah.]

Thank you, Cream.

[Twilight takes it gingerly, careful to avoid another shock, and sits down on the bench to flip through it.]

Okay, let's see here... Basics. You need one male and one female Pokemon, they need to be from the same egg group... what's an egg group?

I'm not sure... maybe it means compatibility... Or things that lay eggs.

Is there a list of egg groups and what Pokemon belong to them in here...?

[She's already flipping back to the table of contents to check for herself as she asks that.]

Ah, here we are. Looks like there's a list of what Pokemon belong in which groups in the back. Let's see if any of yours fit together.

[And you will find that no, none of her are even close. Epic fail.]

What does it say...?

Hm... None at the moment, but I'll let you know when I need help with something!

Um... I think I found your problem, Fluttershy. None of your Pokemon are in the same egg group. They can't breed with each other at all.

[Well, at least that means it's not her fault?]

[Sad mareep bleat. Baaaaaaa ): ]

Oh... I guess I'm not a Breeder... but I can't be a trainer...

You can count on me.

You can still be a breeder, Fluttershy. Look, all you need is Pokemon that can breed with the ones you have, right?

But if I capture more Pokemon, that means one of the ones I already have will be sent away to the computer!

[which just seems so sad ;; ]

Well, yes, but they don't have to stay there. You can keep rotating them in and out, so that they can all still spend time with you.

I guess so... Do you think the computer will treat them well?

I think it'll be kind of like a long sleep for them. I don't know if Pokemon dream, but if they do, I'm sure any of yours will have wonderful dreams.

[She still looks a little uncertain, but manages to smile.]

That does sound very nice...

Most people don't, really.

[Oh God, the conversation is still going and he CAN'T STOP TALKING.]

Usually you just kind of- know what to do, I guess.

Do you know how...?

There's nothing wrong with not knowing. [ Encouraging smile. ]

[She hesitates, and then gives a shy little smile.]
