Well… Buckball is a sport… How could this happen?
Buckball Season (Writer: Jennifer Skelly)
WIKI SOURCE:
Fluttershy and Pinkie are uncertain about playing against Appleloosa in Applejack and Rainbow's place at first, but they agree once they realize how much fun they had playing. In order to prepare the two for the upcoming game, Applejack and Rainbow put them through rigorous training.
Rainbow and Fluttershy on the training course S6E18
Can't be the best unless you train.
Rainbow Dash compels Fluttershy to run an elaborate obstacle course, and Applejack tosses softballs at Pinkie to kick into goal baskets. The intensity of the training and Rainbow Dash's drill sergeant-like coaching cause Fluttershy to frequently trip up. When Applejack piles onto Pinkie the pressure of not letting Ponyville down, Pinkie gets so overwhelmed that she cannot make successful goal shots anymore. Snails, on the other hand, remains perfectly calm and collected as he practices catching balls in the goal.
Applejack and Rainbow Dash are surprised by Fluttershy and Pinkie's sudden lack of talent after the skills they demonstrated earlier. Reasoning that they just need some rest, the two coaches call it a day and tell them to rest up for the next day's buckball game. On their way home, Pinkie and Fluttershy confide in each other about their worries of letting their friends down. However, they take relief in the fact that very few ponies in Ponyville have even heard of buckball...
...until numerous ponies show up at the train station to cheer for the Ponyville team and see them off to Appleloosa.
And here’s the thing: “Pinkie Pie displays a great talent for playing offense, and Fluttershy is good at blocking goal shots with her tail.”
^That’s the awesome scene I ever saw!
And… Snails is there in this episode.
I gave this episode: 10/10
