//------------------------------// // Slice and ice // Story: Dewott Just happened? // by Jonny Bench //------------------------------// I land in front of the young pony who was about to become lunch to some very hungry predators before saying “Hey kid, I got you. Everything is going to be alright.” While also grabbing my scalchops from my legs. It was at that moment that I realized what I became. “I’m an actual Dewott now? That’s so cool! Alright let's try this, aqua pulse!” I shout as a sphere of water forms in between my hands before I throw it at my foes. All but one of them dodge it, and when it hits a wolf, it simply shrugs it off. “Great, I have to worry about type match ups now, don’t I. Let's see, they’re made of wood, but they also give off a weird glow, so are they grass and dark?” I say to myself as one of the wolves jumps at me. Thinking fast I shout “fury cutter!” And hit it with my scalchop, knocking it to the side. When it lands, it stands right back up, but seems to be limping slightly, letting me know that the move was super effective. I grin since I know that the more I use fury cutter in battle, the more damage it does, but I’ll be overwhelmed if I can’t take the wolves out fast enough. Suddenly I get an idea after remembering a similar episode in the Pokemon tv show. “Aqua Jet!” I shout as I cover myself in water and send myself flying towards my opponents. Just as I near the first one, I shout “fury cutter!”, hitting all of them in a fly by combo. The wolves up front seem relatively unharmed but the last few ones are struggling to stand up due to how much power went into my attack. I repeat this combo one more time, leaving all of the wolves severely injured, but still wanting to fight. Looking at them though I realize that they are soaked because of my attacks, so I prepare my final blow. “Ice beam!” I shout before unleashing a light blue beam that hits all of the wolves and freezes them solid. They break out after a few minutes of struggling, but then they run away realizing that they had lost the battle. I put my scalchops back where they belong while I turn to look at the pony I had saved. She is small, and has a grey coat with silver glasses along with a pearl necklace. Her mane is a silvery white and ends in a long braid. On her flank is a decorative spoon that seems to be made out of silver. When I look at her face, I notice that her eyes are red and that she seems to have been crying. She walks up to me cautiously and says “Thank you. If you hadn’t shown up, I would’ve been eaten alive.” “No problem, now let's get you back to your home, this forest isn’t the best place for a filly like yourself.” I say to her while walking away, motioning for her to follow. She quickly catches up and we walk together in silence until we reach the edge of the forest. She continues to walk while I stay behind and say “Here we must part ways for now. Stay safe kid.” “Wait, why don’t you come with me.” She replies “The town might think I’m a monster kid, and I don’t want to have to deal with that just yet. I’ll be nearby if you need me though.” I say as I start to walk back into the forest “Wait don’t go!” “What’s your name kid, I might as well know who you are if you really want me to stay in touch.” “I’m Silver Spoon, but I want to know what your name is.” “Silver Spoon ,huh, it was nice to meet you silver, I’m Jonny Bench. See ya!” I shout back to her as I use Aqua Jet to go zooming back into the forest while she starts to head back home. Suddenly she remembers something she needs to do, and starts to run while shouting “I can’t believe that I skipped school!”
