Log:
Link made sure he had everything he needed and that his supplies were secure before hopping up on his Ponyta's back. Her back seemed a bit higher than he expected. Sure, he had seen plenty of horses before, most of them being at Lon Lon Ranch back in Hyrule. Still, he had never ridden one before. He shifted on Epona's bare back, her spine digging in where it was pretty uncomfortable, but for increased traveling speed, he'd deal with it. The Pokemon turned her head back to give her trainer an unsure look.
"I kick your sides for you to go, right?" Link did so, and he suddenly wished he hadn't. Epona started off at a walk, quickly accelerating to a trot, canter, and then a full-out gallop. Link clung to her neck the best he could. Yelling at her the entire way.
"EPONAAAAAA!! SLOW DOWN!! ARE YOU LISTENING?!"
The Ponyta dug her hooves into the ground and came to a sudden halt, throwing Link off her back. He flew a few feet and crashed into a row of bushes while the pack he had on his back went flying off a bit further. Epona snorted, seemingly laughing at her own trainer while Link picked himself up and dug through the bushes to find the pack. "Thanks a lot, Epona."
He had no trouble locating his supplies, though there was a slight problem. A wild Pidgy was perched on top of it, swiveling its head to inspect just what it was it was sitting on. Link approached with the idea of just shooing the bird off, but it had a different idea. It flew at Link, pecking him. "CUT IT OUT!! HEY!! That stuff is mine!!" He threw a punch at the Pidgy and knocked it down out of pure luck, but it wasn't enough to keep it down. Instead, Link had just pissed it off even more."
Meanwhile, Epona jumped over the row of bushes. She stood there to watch for a moment, then finally came to the rescue, running at the Pidgy to tackle it, and successfully scaring it away. She snorted again and turned her head towards Link, looking quite proud of herself.
"Thanks." He patted her on her snout. "Ok, I get it. You like to run a lot, right? that's all you were doing in town." She nodded her head enthusiastically. "Right. Well, I'm not the best rider, so slow it down a bit, ok? I'll let you run as much as you want when we reach the next town, and if we run into any more ani- any more Pokemon, you're gonna be the one to fight them off anyway. How's that sound?"
Epona cocked her head, weighing her options. She nuzzled Link, a sign that she would agree to his terms for now.
"Ok. Let's go!" Link slung the pack over his back once again and climbed up on the Ponyta, who went off at a nice walk towards Cherrygrove City.
