//------------------------------// // 15 Pinkie Pie Picks a Pokemon :: E/Ra // Story: Kaidan's Short Stories: Vol. 1 - Teen // by Kaidan //------------------------------// {random}{everyone}{comedy} Pinkie crept through the tall grass with her faithful pokemon Gummy. Ahead of them was their quarry, the level fifteen flying pokemon. It knew quick attack, double team, gust, and buccaneer blitz. “Alright, Gummy, I choose you!” Pinkie picked up gummy and hurled him at the unsuspecting pokemon. Dash heard something in the bushes behind her and turned around. She was trying to help Fluttershy figure out where her animals were disappearing too. “Pinkie?” “Gummy, use bite!” “Gah—mmph!” Gummy landed on Dash’s muzzle, clamping down over her mouth and nose. Dash grabbed him and tried to yank him off. Somehow the toothless alligator was latched on and she couldn’t get him off. She bashed her head into the ground, successfully dislodging him. “Oh no, she used headbutt! Quick gummy, sand attack!” Pinkie said. “What is going on, Pinkie?!” Dash asked. Gummy kicked up some dirt into her eyes. “Ahh! Pinkie, stop, this isn’t funny!” Dash jumped up in the air and hovered there. “Gummy, she’s using fly! Quick, use hyper beam!” “Pinkie!” Dash yelled. She rubbed the sand out of her eyes and landed near her. “Hi, Dash!” Pinkie smiled and pointed down to the ground. “Gummy, fire!” Dash rolled her eyes. “Oh, I get it, you’re pretending to play that silly video gam—” Gummy jumped out of the tall grass with a baseball bat, clobbering Dash in the side of the head. Dash fell down, twitching. “Good work, Gummy! It’s super effective!” Pinkie reached for a pokeball as Gummy latched onto her tail. Dash came too groggily and saw Pinkie holding a red ball in her hand, with an evil glint in her eye. “What? No!” She got up but was too dizzy to fly, and took off running towards the park. She saw Lyra relaxing on a park bench. “Help!” Dash felt something hit her in the back. There was a whooshing sound as all the air was sucked out of the space around her. Something grabbed her wings and tugged at her fur, pulling her backwards. The world around her was bathed in red light. “No! What the hay?!” Dash lost her footing and flew backwards, feeling herself being compressed on all sides. After a few seconds of an unbearable weight crushing her, she heard a click. Dash wiggled around, feeling a solid metal sphere surrounding her. It was already giving her cramps. “Pinkie Pie is your master. You will obey master.” “What? No! Let me outta here!” Dash struggled against the metal shell entrapping her. “Pinkie Pie is your master. You live to make master happy.” Dash could feel the air getting stuffy and panicked. She wanted to move her legs to know they were still there. The small space had her immobilized, and it was driving her mad. “Pinkie Pie is your master. You are her pokemon.” “No! I’m—I am Rainbow . . .” “Pinkie Pie is your master. You will obey master.” “I. . . I must obey,” Dash said. Her mind was drawing a blank as she tried to recall what was wrong. “Pinkie Pie is your master. You live to make master happy.” “I will make master happy.” “Pinkie Pie is your master. You are her pokemon.” Dash flinched. “No I. . .I am. . . her pokemon.” “Pinkie Pie is your master. You will obey master.” “Dash da—dash dash!” she chirped. The pokeball twitched one final time as Pinkie watched with anticipation. It sat still for a moment before a red light turned on and the pokeball chimed. “Yes, Gummy! We caught Rainbow Dash!”
