[ The post finds Applejack out on Route 32 with Winona, who's become quite big and rangy for an eevee. The foxlike pokemon is moving low to the ground, precise and calculating. The camera follows Winona as she moves up to three unsuspecting mareep, obviously cut off from their flock. AJ's voice comes on, very quiet as she narrates. ]
I saw this poor gang get a real fright from a mean ol' ekans earlier; they got scattered all over the Route, so me an' Winona are gonna round 'em all up! [ Applejack turns the camera so that it's facing her, and flashes a proud grin. ] Put 'em up, girl!
[ With that, and Winona in place, Applejack whistles, shrill and sharp--and Winona takes off like a shot. The eevee's herding is surprisingly good, and she dodges the small bursts of static sent her way, nipping the mareep's heels to get them to move. Once they do, she circles to keep them together, and the camera pans and starts to follow the few minutes it takes for her to lead them to the grove of trees where the rest of the herd is grazing. Obviously proud of her pokemon's performance, Applejack gives Winona a gentle pat when the triumphant eevee returns. ]
And that's how you do it! Now we just gotta find a few more! Wish us luck, everypony!
