You chose the middle PoniBall.

“I knew you’ll choose this one in the end!” chuckled the Ponymon Professor. You rolled your eyes. “Open up the PoniBall and see what you got!” You gazed at the Poniball for a bit before opening it, revealing a foal Ponymon.

“Uh… Hello…” said the yellow coloured Ponymon. Your eyes are wide with shock. You never heard Ponymon speak in English before. Then you realised that you never seen a Ponymon before, let alone hear one. You ask her for her name.

“Um… My name… My name is… Fluttershy...” 

Gary Oak suddenly spoke. “Oh yeah! My turn now! I’m going to choose the best Ponymon trainer ever!” He picked up the left PoniBall and opened it. A pink Ponymon foal appeared, giggling with delight. “And to start off, I demand a battle between our Ponymon!”

“Go! Pinkie Pie” your rival yelled. His Ponymon giggled, before letting on a war face. “Pinkie Pie! Use laughter!” The pink Ponymon laughed at Fluttershy, who noticeably began to weaken. You, being the first time Ponymon trainer, were unaware of what to do. You told your Ponymon to attack.

“Um… I don’t really want to hurt anypony, but I was wondering if you could… Faint for me? I mean, only if it is okay with you...” Fluttershy’s voice trailed off. Gary’s pink Ponymon looked confused for a second, before speaking.

“Oki Doki Loki!” Pinkie Pie performed a dramatic fall to the ground, and make sure she had her tongue sticking out of her mouth for an added fainting effect.

The Professor glanced at the ‘fainted’ Ponymon before pointing at you. “You win!”

“WHAT!” yelled Gary. “How does that even work?! My Ponymon hasn’t even felt any damage!”
His grandfather sighed. “The first trainer with all their Ponymon fainted loses the match. Duh.” Gary was furious. He used the PoniBall to put Pinkie Pie back into the ball and stomped out of the room.“Kids these days…” he mumbled before turning his back to you.

Now, with your new found Ponymon, you decide to…
