Atchmon tried underhand pitching at first, before switching to a high arching overhand pitch. Allowing him to throw the 'baseball' exactly where he wanted it to go, while also being easy enough for Rarity to hit. Monty was being a good little helper, chasing after the rock, and scooping it up in his antlers, then bringing it back to whomever was pitching. Rarity made the suggestion to give him some food whenever he did, and the little critter was more than happy to offer his assistance. Atchmon took it in stride, never questioning the tiny critters motives, having seen similar intellect in other creatures.
