9th Sonic Rainboom (Audio/Action for Cianwood)

[bestofthebest]

(Rainbow Dash has gone through many obstacles, and taken on most challenges other ponies might fear to tread. But nopony, save for her friends, would ever embark upon the triumph Rainbow had done mere days ago:

Taken on two Gym Leaders. Back-to-back.

...Not really, but it sure felt like it! With exclusive video footage shot by Daring, Rainbow Dash made sure the entire Network was witness to her awesomeness! She took down Cianwood's Gym with just. One. Pokemon! (Her Espeon.) Then, upon gaining the fabled Fly HM for herself -dramatic pause while she squees at personal goal being accomplished!- she took a quick trip back to Olivine for one night and early the next morning, showcased her coolness! With the combined efforts of Lightning, Tails and Blaze, each one of Jasmine's crew were no match for Team Dash's radicalness!

Now that Rainbow's returned to Cianwood, as well as her friends, she's content to celebrate her three Badges Ponyville style!)

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ -best day ever~!- ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

(Loud snoring is heard as Rainbow's relaxing with her four Pokemon huddled around her, also resting but it seems that Rainbow's thumb turned on the 'Gear for a few precious moments before unconsciously throwing it with her hand! Good thing for Dash, Daring was awake and alert enough to grab the device before it smashed into the wall with her vines. She apologizes loudly to anyone who may have heard her trainer snoring before turning off the 'Gear. The Grass type plans to -eventually- wake her trainer up even knowing what she has planned. Daring doesn't 100% approve, but like Rainbow she's fiercely loyal to her trainer.)

Meganium...!

No, dear, it's just as dazzlingly prismatic as ever. [ She dabs at the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief. ] You have missed things, but the biggest one didn't have to do with you, anyway.

[bestofthebest]

(You know how Rainbow was inside of the wagon? Zip, and she's run outside and is up close to Rarity with an excited, curious expression.)

Really? What did I miss? I told you how much Twilight said, right? The last thing she remembers is Discord being reformed so whatever else went down...it's Pinkie Pie, isn't it?

Wait, don't tell me: she dyed her mane green, put on white facepaint, turned her lips red and became a traveling circus pony!

(...100% off, Rainbow.)

[artofthestress]

[ HI RAINBOW YOU'RE IN RARITY'S FACE. Rarity backs up a little against the tree. ] Well, no. Unless that's happened since I've left. Quite the opposite, actually. Twilight's a princess now, and with the most spectacular wings, too!

[bestofthebest]

...Haha! Twilight's got wings? That's so AWESOME~! A new flying buddy, which means I'll get to show off even more of my awesomeness.

[artofthestress]

[ She rolls her eyes. ] Yes, you two should get along spectacularly in the air. She is royalty now, Dash. She probably has lots of princessial duties to attend to, as well.

[bestofthebest]

(Cue confident grin while slinging an arm around Rarity's shoulder for a half-hug.) C'mon, Rarity - just 'cause she's a Princess now shouldn't change anything; she's still Twilight and our friend, right?

[artofthestress]

[ She smiles back at Rainbow Dash and returns the hug. ] Of course not! You should have heard the magnificent speech she gave. No, I don't expect her to leave us behind. But we must be prepared to support her in whatever new responsibilities she might have, as well. There's a time for play, and a time for work!

[bestofthebest]

Exactly, and I'm pretty sure I'll hear her speech when I go back to Ponyville for a while! (Twilight did mention the side effects of returning, even for a short time...? Her attention does turn to the designs Rarity's trying to work on.) Oh yeah, you said you were working on stuff; clothes for our Pokemon? Daring could use something to go with her hat...

[artofthestress]

Yes, though my reserves are a little short at the moment. I'd love to go into Goldenrod and get some fabric, but in the meantime I'll just have to improvise. Could I see this hat of his?

[bestofthebest]

We'll talk with Twilight about heading back; you can check out how awesome Goldenrod is, and I can beat Whitney and take her Badge!

(A beat, and she plucks a Pokeball and tosses it to reveal Daring, with hat on head that resembles Daring Do's.) You mean this hat of hers, but sure!

Mega~!

Let's try this again

[artofthestress]

What a fascinating choice! She's like a little adventurer! [ Rarity gets up and walks around the Meganium. ] Hmm. I wouldn't want to spoil that beautiful flower. Perhaps a cloak, or a safari outfit. What do you think?

[bestofthebest]

Haha, you should've seen her as a Chikorita -always curious about everything, wanting to go on some adventure! Why not both, one for different times of the weather?

(As for Daring, she tilts her head for a moment as Rarity walks around her, rearing back on her hind legs after a moment and goes to hug Body Slam the pony.)

Mega~!♥

Daring, what'd I say - no Body Slam attacks unless they agree to a hug!

Mega...

Eh-heh, sorry about that; that's how she hugs everypony.

[artofthestress]

I quite agree, though I should probably start with one of them. After all, I don't have much material to work wi-

OOF.

[ Rarity is bowled over onto the (thankfully) soft grass by the over-enthusiastic Daring. ]

Rainbow!!! Would you call her off, please? This is very undignified!

[bestofthebest]

Eh, the cloak can work for now; it's not as cold as it used to be.

(Rainbow laughs while pulling Daring off and helping Rarity up.)

Hahaha, she's just saying that she likes you and thinks of you as a friend Rarity!

[artofthestress]

{ Rarity dusts herself off and tries to regain her dignity with limited success. ] She's almost as bad as Princess Luna. [ Wait, what is she saying? ] Not to speak badly of royalty, of course! [ Rarity glances instinctively at the sky even though Luna's obviously not nearby. ]

Well, in any case, I'll see what I can do. I won't be making her a suit of armor anytime soon, though. I think she does quite enough damage as it is.

[bestofthebest]

Hahaha, she's not even the Pokemon I named after Princess Luna! That's my Lapras, actually.

(Rainbow recalled Daring with a grin and smiled apologetically at Rarity.)

[artofthestress]

[ Rarity smiles back. No harm done. ] Why, is she a nocturnal Pokemon?

[bestofthebest]

Haha, no; she's a Water Pokemon who carries anypony around large bodies of water so I can't show her to you yet.
(Good thing they're in Cianwood, huh?)

[artofthestress]

That sounds like a much more stylish way to travel than a silly old raft or boat! I shall introduce her to Hans as soon as you can show her to me.

[bestofthebest]

Sure! No problem. (She grabs Rarity by the hand and off they go, to the beach!)

...Who's Hans? I thought you had Opal for a pet.

[artofthestress]

Oh! Rainbow, where are we going?! [ She runs just behind Rainbow, trying to catch up. She hadn't realized Luna was so close by! ] He's a fish! Well, he hasn't hatched yet, exactly, but I assume he lives in water! The creatures here are a little bit strange, so I suppose anything's possible.

[bestofthebest]

Haha, we're going to the beach! Can't show off Luna anywhere else that's not huge pools of water! Next best city like this one's Olivine but here we're with everypony else.

(A beat as they arrive at the beach, Rainbow panting for breath before using her free hand to toss a 'Ball and a Lapras appeared -and squealed- in the body of water!)

Rarity, this is Luna, my Lapras! Hey Luna, this is my friend Rarity; say hi! (A beat as Luna squeals loudly in greetings, Rainbow blinking in surprise.) Hans is a fish?

[artofthestress]

[ Rarity also is breathing rather hard from the run. Dash is much more in shape than she is. ] Right now he's an egg, dear. [ She approaches the Lapras cautiously. WOW he is big. ] Luna? My goodness, you're quite large, aren't you? [ She offers a hand in greeting. ]

[bestofthebest]

Pfft! Fish, egg...if we were back in Ponyville you'd be cooking them for lunch! (Luna responds to Rarity's hand with another squeal and bending her head down to accept her greeting.) I said Luna could carry anypony around large bodies of water, right? Can't do that if she wasn't this large!

[artofthestress]

Rainbow Dash! You wouldn't dream of harming these little guys, would you? [ She pats Luna on the snout absent-mindedly. ] She seems quite useful, and not the least bit violent! I much prefer those kinds of critters here.
