14th Sonic Rainboom (Video/Backdated to 9/11/Action for Ponies)

[bestofthebest]

(The video clicks on to show the skies zooming by really fast, and Rainbow Dash is in the center of the screen, holding onto a VERY fast Dragonite as she flies through the sky at near-record breaking speeds with some of her other Flying types behind her: mostly Charizard and Aerodactyl.)

...So, bad news and worst news in the span of one weekend. Not only did Rarity end up going back home, but before I could wake up on my own, PINKIE PIE ends up going back without a word too! Is it just me or does Johto have a thing against us Mane Six being here all together at once?

Anyway! The only good thing about this is that I gathered all of Pinkie's Pokeballs, picked out some of my best flyers -who can carry a ton of stuff- and we're gonna go get Spike outta Goldenrod! When we talked yesterday he said something about having to get all of Rarity's stuff together, and knowing her...this is gonna take us more than one trip. Not to mention we still gotta go pick up Maka at Olivine or whatever city she said she was going to.

Wonder if I can ask Twilight if she can let me use some of her Flying Pokemon to help get Rarity's stuff...oh! There it is! (The feed ends with Dragonite getting closer to Goldenrod, and after that...it's wherever Twilight's at! Possibly Ecruteak or beyond, since she never discussed recent plans with her #1 most Loyal Pegasus.)

Yeah...did it happen like this last time when Fluttershy was here?

(She blinks at the screen and tap, tap, taps it when Twilight doesn't look.)

Uh yeah, but Rarity had like a ton of stuff and I don't think Spike's gonna just let us leave it in Goldenrod when there's a chance she might come back again. Which one can carry more than a few bags?

[friendyousohard]

Sort of... I think you were the first to leave last time around. But everypony else followed really quickly, and soon it was just her and I, almost before we knew what had happened.

[Still not looking at the screen... but there might be a reason for that, if one checks her cheeks. Is that a tear line?]

Fair enough. I'll give you Robo. He's an enormous robot, he ought to be able to carry quite a bit.

[bestofthebest]

...Thanks. (She checked the screen, saw her cheeks and...Rainbow just finished getting past her own set of tears, which was why she was glad she was alone; if she was there, and she'll do this the moment she sets foot in Ecruteak, she's gonna find her best friend and give her a hug.)

I'm still here, Twilight. I'm not going anywhere!

[friendyousohard]

They would have said the same thing.

[A little bit of choking in her voice there. Yeah, it's fair to assume this is really getting to her.]

[bestofthebest]

(Now she's close to tearing up again too, but she can't blame her friend; she's endured this much longer than Rainbow has.)

Well, I...Twilight, I...look, it'll be okay! You've still got me, Applejack, Cadence and Spike...

[friendyousohard]

Yes, for as long as you-

[She stops, bites her lip, and just holds herself in position for a few moments, the tears flowing as she holds back sobs by sheer force of will.]

... Sorry. You're right, you're all still here with me.

[bestofthebest]

(Rainbow sniffles as well, wiping her eyes to get rid of any tears that had started rolling down her face. She couldn't cry in front of her friends.)

...We've got each other, right? No matter how long we're apart, our bond as friends will last.

[friendyousohard]

I know. I know.

[She wipes at her eyes a couple times, takes a deep breath, and then finally lowers her chin again, looking at the screen with shining eyes, but managing to feel a bit better.]

Alright. So... You're picking everything up in Goldenrod, Spike included, then heading up to Ecruteak?

[bestofthebest]

(She responds with a brief nod before blinking a few times. Was Twilight understanding the weirdness of their situation?)

Eheh, I'm getting Spike and however much my 'Mons can carry in Goldenrod before heading to Ecruteak and making however many trips back we need to. Rarity had a ton of stuff before we made this trip, and she got quite a lot more since.

[friendyousohard]

Didn't she say her collection was mobile? How in the name of Celestia did she plan on moving all of that?

[bestofthebest]

Heh, it's Rarity; she probably would've asked one of us if she could use one of our Pokemon to help her move it.

[friendyousohard]

Well, it's not like any of us would have refused.

[bestofthebest]

Ha, yeah. And we've got the strongest Pokemon for the job.

(Not to mention Spike's gonna insist they carry it everywhere.)

[friendyousohard]

If nothing else, we can stack it all on Sapphire.

[Good ol' Snorlax won't even notice.]

[bestofthebest]

Hehehehe! Good one, Twilight.

(Ooh, there's Spike! Rainbow turns the 'Gear around so Twilight can see; he's just a speck but still.)

There's Spike! We're gonna meet up with you near the Ecruteak Pokemon Center, right? Oh yeah; Maka's in Ecruteak too! When we finish with this, we can find her.

[friendyousohard]

Oh, great! I'll look around for her once I've sent Robo your way. Don't try to fight with him, by the way, he won't listen to battle orders from anyone but me.

[bestofthebest]

Sweet! Pfft, relax Twilight; I'm not gonna try fighting Robo until we're back together again. It shouldn't take him long to find us, right?

(Well, with Ecruteak and Goldenrod being in fairly close proximity...)
