"I'M ON THE ROAD TO BECOME THE GREATEST TRAAAAAINER"

Gummy sighed in frustration. Pinkie had been singing this song for the entire time they were in the forest. And they've been in there for two days. Thankfully, days seemed to go quicker than normal.

"AND I WON'T QUIT UNTIL I'M NUMBER OOOOONE"

"Hey Pinkie?"

"SO WE KEEP ON TRYING (trying)"

"Pinkie."

"AND THEN WE TRY SOME MORE"

"WE STAY TOGETHER"

"AND FINDIN' A PLACE WORTH FIGHTING FOOOOROOOR"

Now was his chance. "PINKIE."

"Yeah Gums?" she asked.

He'd never understand how a pony like her could go from loud singing to normal questioning that fast. "Please sing a different song. I'm getting really tired of this one."

"Sure!" She cleared her throat. "When I was a little filly and the sun was going dooooown"

At least it was a song he didn't hear before. Suddenly, he noticed a bush rustling. "Hmm?" Gummy approached the bush and poked it. A Weedle popped out.

Pinkie stopped her song and gasped. "Whoa! The first Pokemon we've seen here!"

"For two days..." mumbled Gummy.

She brought out a Pokeball from her bag.

"Shouldn't you have me weaken it or something?"

"No need! It's a Weedle; they're mega easy to catch!" Pinkie threw the Pokeball, but the Weedle blocked it with its tail. 

"NONE SHALL TAME THE MIGHTY WEEDLE!" it proclaimed loudly to the world.

"Phooey!" complained Pinkie. "A Pokeball didn't work!" She looked in her bag for something else.

Meanwhile, Gummy decided to try his hand at battling "the mighty weedle". "Hey, bug eyes!"

"YOU DARE ATTEMPT TO CHALLENGE MY POWER? ALL SHALL FALL, AND THE MIGHTY SHALL WIN! THE MIGHTY IS I!"

"That's what you think! BUBBLEBEAM!" With that, Gummy shot out many upon many bubbles aimed directly at the Weedle.

Before the bubbles could interact with it, though, Pinkie shouted, "GOT IT!" and threw something at the Weedle. It was a Great ball, and the Mighty Weedle got sucked in. It shook once. Twice. And then...! It stopped shaking.

"Yes! I caught a WEEDLE!" Pinkie yelled.

Gummy mumbled something about not being able to battle, but he stay silent afterwards.

"Once we're out of this forest, we'll get Weedle introduced to the world! Hmm... You know, I think I'll call him Winona!"

"...Try again."

"Too girly? Okay. Uhm...Tank!" She jumped up and down in the air yelling Tank over and over again.

"I... don't think he'll like that. It looks like he likes being called THE MIGHTY WEEDLE." He stood bravely and upright when saying the last three lines to make a point.

"No way! That's copyright!"

Before Gummy could say anything, Pinkie was already heading off for the exit, which she seemed to have spotted. Gummy had no choice but to follow.
