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?]

action;
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.]
