9th Animal Η Video/Action for Saffron Σ
[Well, someone is out of their element.
When Reid turns on his communicator, he's sitting outside the little place on the outskirts of Saffron that he rented with Mio. He's sitting on the grass with a bag (full of things he bought for his Pokemon) tossed to the side, and he's besides a clutch of three multicolored eggs--nestled among those eggs is a Ponyta without any kind of flame, struggling to stand up.]
Uh, hi? I'm, uh--I mean, for those of you who don't know me, I'm Spencer. Dr. Spencer Reid.
[Reid stands up and hesitantly approaches the Ponyta. Gingerly, as if it's a live bomb, he rests his hands on its chest and stomach, trying to help it stand.] I've never really handled horses before? If--I mean, if there's anyone in the general area of Saffron who knows something about it, then I'd really--
[FOOM OH CHRIST THERE'S FIRE
Reid jumps back with a yelp when a bright mane and tail bursts into life, flaring blue and proud and looking terrifying despite the horse stumbling back to its knees without Reid's support. It all looks very impressive and Reid is just going to AVOID TOUCHING THE FIRE KTHX.
And then one of the eggs besides the flaming pony, a purple egg with a scary face, starts to hatch. And in the corner of the screen, a blue lavender-tipped tentacle reaches over and grabs Reid's bag, dragging it away.
Reid is busy eyeing the flaming pony warily, so he's caught completely by surprise when his scary purple egg hatches and OH GOD IT'S A DINOSAUR THAT IS SO COOL BUT DAMN THOSE ARE BIG TEETH
A baby Aerodactyl, at least the size of Reid (that's one big baby), spreads its wings beside the kneeling Ponyta, sending pieces of egg everywhere, before starting to beat its wings and letting out a terrifying shriek. And right now, it's eyeing Reid like a snack.
Reid instinctively backs up, and then the screen is suddenly covered with a white glow from all the various Pokemon that just found the evolution stones Reid had in his bag.
The Ponyta lets out an angry whinny when the dinosaur whacks it with a furiously beating wing. A Mismagius and a Chandelure fly over them, howling and chattering, and the Aerodactyl lunges for Reid, only to be knocked out of the way by a Ninetales. The baby dinosaur snaps at the fox, trying to go for the throat, but it's still too weak to withstand Elle. Reid stumbles over, fumbling with his belt of balls, when he's hit in the head by a soaring Musharna. He stumbles again, holding his head, and behind him, the Mismagius and the Chandelure are taking turns swooping in and pinching the sides of the baby Ponyta. The Ponyta neighs furiously, trying to get on its legs so it can kick one of the giggling bastards, but it's still too weak and its trainer is too busy being dizzy and trying to get the homicidal dinosaur under control to notice the torment.
Why did Reid think getting a goddamn menagerie was a good idea?]

Well, I'd like to say I count as an expert here, but honestly, I know about as much about Ponytas as your average human would know about an ape or monkey-
[Buuuuut she's cut off as the reset of the Pokemon begin to hatch and evolve. The more sudden flashes of white she sees, the wider her eyes get and the more worried her expression becomes.]
Dear Celestia... Spencer, are you going to be alright?
no subject
[The dinosaur got loose.
Reid gets knocked back when the beast launches itself at him, but then Yang jumps on screen and bites the creature at the neck, dragging it off his trainer. Reid drags himself into a sitting position, and he finally sees what his ghosts are putting the poor Ponyta through.] I'll get back to you on that!
[Letting his senior Pokemon subdue the dinosaur, he walks up to the pony, swatting his ghosts away from the neighing foal.] Leave it alone! Go make yourselves useful and help deal with the Aerodactyl! [He makes a frustrated noise, bending over to pick up the communicator and talk to his friend.] How do ponies learn to walk where you come from?
no subject
Ugh, I wish Fluttershy wasn't sick... Usually, we have our parents to help us learn. Foals just follow along and do what they do. That's clearly not a possibility here, so... [She cuts off with a pause as she tries to think of ways around the issue.]
What about the gear's replay function? If it sees what it thinks is an older pony walking, it should try and emulate that.
no subject
[Reid is awkwardly trying to check the foal for damage without touching it, mostly because no matter what anyone says, he's not going to stick his hand in fire.] Fluttershy's sick?
no subject
[She grimaces and folds her arms.] Apparently she bought some of those poisoned cookies and somehow managed to miss all the messages about them. I didn't know she had them until today, or I'd have gotten rid of them along time ago. I had Pyrolepi burn them.
no subject
She ate them? [He grimaces in sympathy. Oh, poor Fluttershy.
Oh wait there's still some issues going on. He'll just turn to look at what's happening and OW
He's hit right in the forehead with a big rock. He stumbles backwards, holding his head. The scorned Mismagius had thrown a fucking rock at him. And now they're getting into the scuffle to control the dinosaur by fighting the animals trying to control it. At this point, they're just deliberately screwing with everyone.] MISSY!
no subject
[She'd keep musing on the subject, but that sudden rock to Spencer's head jolts her out of it. She slams her hands down on the table her gear's resting on.]
Hey! Knock it off! [Not that they're likely to listen to her...]
no subject
[Nope, she's not listening. She's too busy dive bombing the Musharna.]
Ugh. I'm sorry, Twilight, but you mind I'd I call you back?
no subject
... Good luck.
no subject
[Shutting off the feed now.
Some time later, he turns on the feed again. This time he's in his living room, wearing new clothes and band-aids on his hands. He looks pretty tired.]
Hey there, Twilight. We were, uh--right. We were talking about different cultures, weren't we? [Trying to avoid the topic of how things went with the Pokemon. It's a long story that involves a lot of exhaustion on his part.]
