3_butterflies | Thirty-Second Flutter [Video/Action for Ponies]

[The Pokegear turns on, and hurray, it's Fluttershy! She's waving nicely as she holds the gear, Ditto snuggled up in her lap. She's sitting on her bed, surrounded by... a lot of eggs.

Seriously, a lot of eggs.

Like over one hundred eggs. Sweet Celestia.]

Hello, everypony... I mean, everyone... Um, well, I thought I'd try to be a little more helpful today... so I'm here for two things. First, my Ditto... um... it kind of got really friendly with my friend's Pokemon, and, well... we have some eggs we'd like to sell. We've got... [She pauses, and then counts on her fingers. Can a Ditto look smug?] ...Charmander, Chikorita, Squirtle, Ponyta, Vulpix, Dratini, Abra, Heracross, Magnemite, Munchlax, Sigilyph, Snivy, Larvesta, Golett, Growlithe, Drifloom, Turtwig, Eevee, Sudowoodo, Pinsir, Skarmory, Beldum, Smeargle, Togepi, Happiny and Treecko... is that all of them?

[Ditto nods. Fluttershy smiles, and then she continues.]

And second... I just wanted to remind everyp-body, that I can talk to Pokemon, and I understand what they're saying. So if you need me to talk with them about anything, I'm always available to listen.

[Woah. Now, that is a lot of eggs. Laguna can't help but pause before responding - his shiny Munna on-screen, nibbling at his arm, looking a bit disturbed and shaky.
He gives a smile to the young woman, though, after shaking off his shock.]
Hey, uh, I've heard of Larvesta! They're another fire-type, right? I'm trying to stock up in case any of my friends turn up in New Bark Town in the next few weeks.
[Laguna's only done a bit of reading, to be honest, though. He's just curious about some more good Pokemon.]

[She nods slowly, eyes more on the Munna than the man.]

I can give you one, but... is your Munna all right?

[Laguna gives a bit of a grumpy sigh, looking down at the Munna. A small Ralts, however, has also come on-screen. She's kind of hungry okay?]
Elle? She's been like this for about a week, now. I'd ask for you to try talking to her, but she's never made a sound in her life.
[~~spoilers it's all plot stuff~~
He'll probably end up texting his location to you later.]

[She frowns, feeling bad for the poor dream eater.]

Poor dear... Please let her know I'm always available to talk, if she ever feels up to it. I can't stand the sight of Pokemon suffering...

[and no worries about texting, it can easily be handwaved. special mail-egg delivery!]

Hey, y'hear that?
[Laguna says to his little girl. The Munna gives a bit of a shudder, before returning to the nibbling.]
But while you're there - I do have a bit of a hard case. Mind if I show him to you? [The Ralts behind him knows who Laguna's speaking about.] He's my starter, but I just don't get him.

[Ditto has started to snooze off, but Fluttershy looks rather happy to speak to the mon.]

Certainly! Maybe he just "doesn't get" you too. Does he have a name?

Maybe!
[Nobody gets Laguna. Laguna then stands up!]
He's actually outside right now - whoops, watch out, Primo--
[Yes, Laguna's stumbling around a bit - nearly tripping over the Wooper on the ground. He's got quite a few in his inn room. But, as he stumbles, he smiles.]
His name's Ragnarok - it's a pretty cool name, if I don't say so myself.
[A few moments later, though, the video cuts out for a while. Laguna thought he should keep his eyes on the path.
Soon, Laguna's outside, though, and he turns it back on. Munna is still there, a quiet Zorua-child has followed too, and the Ralts third. And out there?

A Servine is just sitting there in a tree, looking at the moon a little, tail drooped. Vines from Vine Whip are gripping to the tree a little.]
Hey! Ragnarok! I've got a cute girl on the line. Wanna try talking to her?
[The Servine doesn't seem to react, as Laguna looks back to the feed, a bit of a thoughtful look on his face.]

[She's completely oblivious to the compliment, as all of her attention is immediately diverted to the Servine. She smiles sweetly. She's suddenly much more talkative and less shy to it than she was to you, Laguna.]

It's nice to meet you, Ragnarok. Those are some very strong vines you have... you must be a very powerful pokemon. But..

[She frowns. oh...]

... You don't seem to be very happy. Is there something the matter?

[Ragnarok's quiet for a while - Laguna then just tosses his Pokegear to the Zorua child. Who he thinks is a real child, mind. Ragnarok didn't do much while he was watching, after all.

Ragnarok, though, did notice the compliment on his vines, and gave a small grunt.

But...]
You're a trainer.
[A single statement, as Ragnarok flicked his tougue a little.]

Technically, I'm a breeder. But I guess they're not too far off... What don't you like about trainers?

...I don't want to talk about it.

[Hmmm.]

Is there something you would like to talk about?

...You're a breeder, as you said. Do your Pokemon ever want to fight?

Sometimes, yes. Some like getting stronger, while others want to protect me. But there are also ones who don't want to. I never force anyp-body who doesn't want to fight to fight.

[There's a bit of a pause, as the Servine thinks this over.]
My trainer and you are very different.
[...But. Ragnarok flicks his tail a bit, a bit of a smile appearing on his face.]
You were about to say something different. Not everybody.

[She hesitates, embarrassed.]

... My world has different words than this one. We say everypony instead of everybody, because... I'm not originally a human.
