rather_eat_turquoise[Today was just not a good day for Spike. After getting off the pokegear to everypony, Spike's Trapinch was really, really unimpressed. And Spike knew it. And now he knew how sharp those teeth were. The Trapinch had chased him up a tree, and then sat waiting for him to come down. There had seemed to be a gleam of...something...in its beady eyes that Spike did not like. And of course, the tree had been 'occupied'.]
[By a weird looking bluish tree nut thing.]
[Let's just say Spike also found out what 'Selfdestruct' does. On the upside, he 'caught' his first pokemon. It wasn't a moment he really wanted to remember.]
[The feed clicks on to an extremely disheveled and unhappy Spike - his hair has leaves and twigs in it, one eyebrow is gone, and he has a cut on his cheek which is bleeding lightly.]
Princess Cadence? I really hope you can hear me. It's Spike. Twilight said we're close by to each other and that she's coming to pick us up.
[An annoyed 'TRAAAAAAAAAA' can be heard in the background, and Spike visibly flinches.]
Where are you, and I'll come find you? [If he can ever get out of this Celestia-forsaken tree...]

Date: 2013-04-11 07:50 am (UTC)...But once she actually sees him on the video, she's immediately worried.)
...Spike? What happened to you?! Where are you?!
[Video]
Date: 2013-04-11 09:38 am (UTC)You don't want to know. [The camera shakes violently, and Spike looks down.]
Oh come on, give me a break! It wasn't enough to force me up a tree and watch when that thing blew up in my face? What more could you possibly want? [The camera shakes again as the tree shakes]
I'm near the edge of this town...New Bark or something? [The shaking seems to have stopped, thankfully. Spike's Trapinch got bored waiting, and went off to go fight something in the bushes nearby. Spike breathes a sigh of relief.]
Where are you now?
[Video]
Date: 2013-04-11 10:30 pm (UTC)I'll come find you, Spike; just...stay exactly where you are. Tell me what you see from where you're standing.
[Video]
Date: 2013-04-11 10:51 pm (UTC)Sounds great. Um...I can see...water, pretty close by. I think I see the lab roof. And I'm near that house I got pushed out off this morning...
[There's a series of angry noises, a squawk and then a rustling in the bushes, and Spike's Trapinch emerges, looking smug, before disappearing into another set of bushes. Spike rolls his eyes, choosing to stay in the tree for now until he can actually see Cadence.]
[Video] -> [Action]
Date: 2013-04-11 11:40 pm (UTC)I'm on my way. Just hold on, Spike.
(She presses a few buttons to try and turn it off, only managing such after several attempts. Once that's done, Cadence and Chime set off to find the young dragon.
At the very least, it doesn't take too long for Cadence to be somewhere in that general area; there's only one spot in town with a body of water, after all. The only problem is Spike's exact location, so she resorts to calling out for him.)
Spike? Spiiiike!
[Action]
Date: 2013-04-12 01:45 am (UTC)[His ears perked up as he heard a familiar voice. Looking around, he spotted a familiar splash of mane colour.]
Princess Cadence! Over here!
[He checked the base of the tree but thankfully couldn’t see his Trapinch. Cautiously Spike climbed down the tree.]
[Action]
Date: 2013-04-12 02:47 am (UTC)Oh Spike, I was so worried about you...
Re: [Action]
Date: 2013-04-12 03:59 am (UTC)[Despite how he looked and he felt, Spike put on his ‘I’m a big dragon’ face, giving Cadence a big, confident smile and waving off the whole ‘up a tree’ incident like it was nothing.]
I’m fine, don’t worry! My, er…partner animal?...and I were just…um…bonding?
[Because she’ll totally believe that...]
He’s around here somewhere. Watch out, he’s pretty…uh...well…
[And of course his Trapinch chose that moment to stomp out of the underbrush. And then just sat there, giving Spike the ‘evil eye’. Spike took a cautious step backwards].
[Action]
Date: 2013-04-12 05:23 am (UTC)Once she noticed Spike defensively moving away from the Pokemon, she instinctively stood between them, giving the Trapinch a very assertive glare. Poor Spike must've been having trouble getting acquainted with his Pokemon, but Cadence will definitely see to it that there's no longer hostility between them.
She remains stalwart, but her gaze is intently focused on the Trapinch.)
[Action]
Date: 2013-04-13 01:10 pm (UTC)[Instead it decided to roll in the dirt, completely dismissively.]
[Spike wasn't sure whether to be happy or annoyed.]
I don't know what its problem is. I fed it and everything! Maybe it just doesn't like me.
I don't even know what I'm supposed to do with it.
[Action]
Date: 2013-04-15 09:01 am (UTC)It might need a little discipline. It usually isn't easy, but they have to learn to behave and acknowledge you as their trainer.
...Oh, that reminds me! Has anypony told you if you're going to be a trainer or a breeder?
[Action]
Date: 2013-04-15 09:32 pm (UTC)Of course I have to get stuck with the difficult one.
Er...no? What are they?
[Action]
Date: 2013-04-16 01:15 am (UTC)They're actually different ways to raise your Pokemon. Trainers coach their Pokemon for battling and fighting while breeders raise them and help them breed. They're very appropriate names.

Date: 2013-04-15 05:55 am (UTC)[Just what the heck did he do? Try pulling off daredevil stunts?]
Didja have a bad run-in with a Beedrill or what?
video
Date: 2013-04-15 09:34 pm (UTC)Gee thanks.
No, just my pokemon...animal...thing. I don't think it likes me very much.
What's a Beedrill??
video
Date: 2013-04-16 03:10 pm (UTC)[Oh, wait. He's getting a bit off track.]
But if you're having that big of a problem, then stop letting the thing push you around. You've gotta show that you're the boss and they're just the mini-boss!
[But then, this is just a kid. He doesn't expect every child in the world to be as evil and awesome as Bowser Jr.]
video
Date: 2013-04-16 09:38 pm (UTC)W...well I guess that's true. But it has really sharp teeth...
Do you have any suggestions on what I could do?
video
Date: 2013-04-21 06:32 pm (UTC)[Yeah, that sounds a little harsh, but he's a villain. It's how he rolls.]
Video
Date: 2013-04-22 06:40 am (UTC)Wait, I can’t do that! I mean…I can’t hurt it back! That wouldn’t be very nice!
I mean…I am tough…I am a dragon after all…but hurting another animal isn’t right…
[Bowser sounds a lot like those teenage dragons Spike was hanging with for a short time there.]
Video
Date: 2013-04-22 01:37 pm (UTC)I wrestle with my minions all the time, and they do everything I say! It's called having a shell... or spine in your case.
[What is with this place and its silly pacifists? His kids have no problem being mischievous little rascals when the situation calls for it. Gruh...]
Video
Date: 2013-04-25 12:50 am (UTC)And I do have a spine! I'm Spike, the strongest bravest dragon I know. [He puffs up his chest]
Video
Date: 2013-04-27 04:07 pm (UTC)Video
Date: 2013-04-29 11:39 pm (UTC)But surely it's better to be friends with them? I mean, play wrestling is okay and all, but I don't think that deliberately hurting them is right.
[Spike is starting to dislike this guy and his views.]
Video
Date: 2013-05-03 12:29 am (UTC)[Of course, Bowser's villainous views seldom ever jive with people who aren't antagonists themselves. He just doesn't care on account of being downright smug.]
Video
Date: 2013-05-06 09:19 pm (UTC)You know, you almost sound like Discord.
I don't think you're very good with animals if you have to fight back. Fluttershy has never had to fight with her animals for them to behave.
I think....I think that you're a big bully!
[Crosses arms and looking tough, but Spike's heart is racing.]
