[In the 1997 action-thriller blockbuster Air Force One, there is a scene in which the eponymous aircraft, under attack from hostile incoming MiGs, is rescued by the timely arrival of American F-15 squadron Halo Flight, who each proceed to lock a bandit and engage in an aerial dogfight of stunning proportions.
This is neither 1997 nor Air Force One, and Reid is most decidedly not Harrison Ford.
But purely in terms of an homage, the comparison isn't so far off — as Reid will likely discover for himself within a few minutes of Zack's initial text, as rocketing across the horizon come a majestic array of rescuers on their way to play the figurative cavalry for their friend in peril.
Hurtling through the air come a Salamence and an Aerodactyl, flying in tight and practiced formation; on their backs, clinging to ridges and scales for what is probably dear life ride an Ivysaur, a Liepard, a Zorua, and a Haunter: the emergency response team, as promised.
As they come swooping in, Skye and Donna skim low near the source of the confusion, allowing the Liepard, Zorua, and Haunter to jump free and prepare to tangle with the chaos around the Ponyta; Ivy remains securely on Skye's back as the air force locks on to the crisis of the newborn Aerodactyl.
EVERYBODY LOCK A BANDIT.
After all, the only thing cooler than one dinosaur is two dinosaurs, and Donna is a crotchety old lady Aerodactyl ready for a tussle with a youngin; Skye and Ivy, on the other hand, opt to focus on the fleeing Reid — and they fully intend to see, then, if between Skye's wings and Ivy's vines they can get him to safety up on the dragon's back.]
