[Well... this pony doesn't look quite like the other ponies.

I mean, it's obvious he's a pony. If you've researched pokémon, you might even see that it's a familiar pony. But if you haven't, then the oddly fluffed mane might make him stand out a bit, even despite his slightly smaller size.

He's definitely a pony, though, judging by that odd card designed cutie mark.

Don't mind him, he's currently freaking out a bit. After all, it was great to be free of the Glacier Palace, but... well, what was this world. For all he knew it was another trick by Munna to try to break him further.]

...uh. Wait. That's...what?

No, seriously, what.

"...Keldeo?"

Oh hey a pink pony with a Pokeball plastered on her flank is staring at you.

Well, he was at one point somewhat famous as an explorer... though others calling his way by name was a little curious.

"Pardon...? You wouldn't happen to know, uh... where we are, would you?"

Well, that was likely different, at least - most pokémon didn't talk back, especially that fluently. Even Etranger was just learning how to.

Mako abruptly sits down at this, her brain completely overloading.

"whatisthisidonteven"

It, uh...might take a while before she can answer your question, looks like.

Aaaand the pony who apparently knows him blows a fuse and goes near-catatonic. Okay! That was.... new.

"Hey, uh... are you okay?"

Right now, she's just sort of staring at you with wide, slightly frantic eyes, but it isn't long before she snaps out of it and begins babbling feverishly.

"Okay, calm down, calm down, it's no big deal, just a talking Keldeo, oh who am I kidding, this is completely a big deal!"

With that, she jabs one forehoof forward to point at you accusingly.

"Do you have any idea what you've done?! ONE SENTENCE. With just one sentence, you have completely ruined MY FIRST PROFESSIONAL PAPER! IT TOOK ME MONTHS TO WRITE THAT THING! I LIVED IN A CAVE EATING NOTHING BUT LICHEN FOR THE FIRST MONTH OF RESEARCH!"

At that, her volume drops abruptly as she folds in on herself and begins stroking her tail.

"it wasn't even good lichen, the stupid stuff tasted like cardboard and the axew in the cave kept trying to steal my notebooks and the woobats kept trying to use me as a perch so i was covered in bruises AND ALL OF THAT WAS FOR NOTHING BECAUSE APPARENTLY I COULD HAVE JUST ASKED."

With that, she just stares over at you with sad, sad eyes.

"...no, I'm not okay. I'm not okay at all."

Okay, now it's Kel's turn to just sit down, stunned. If nothing else, all of that strikes almost painfully true. If nothing else, he knows what it's like to have to discard months or years of research.

He also knows what it's like to live in a cave eating nothing but the moss and lichen that grew on the rocks. Not exactly fun times.

"Hey. I know how it is, but..." Well, a few things didn't add up. "What do you mean, a talking Keldeo? What kind of pokémon are you, that couldn't understand other pokémon when they talked before...? I mean... you don't look all THAT different from me..."

Mako's still fairly disconsolate when she replies in a distracted tone.

"I'm normally a human, actually."

"Wait, what? Like... from the human world? That's just a fairy tale, though. A myth." Of course, if it had been a few months later, Keldeo would know just how false that claim is. You're not the only one outside of your comfort zone, Mako.

"How would a human ever know about pokémon? Are you meaning to say that there's somehow... pokémon that have crossed over?"

Right path of logic, wrong conclusion.

...wait what.

"Human world? What are you even talking about? Humans and pokemon have lived together for centuries!"

"Not where I'm from, they haven't. And I think I'd know, I've been around." Well... not in the past several years. But... he hasn't been imprisoned for centuries. Has he?

"Are you really sure you're a human, though, and didn't just hit your head? I thought humans were supposed to walk on two legs like a pikachu."

"I don't normally look like this, but something about this world transforms visitors. There's a lot of ponies here that were originally human, actually, so you can get independent confirmation if you want."

A slight pause as she thinks it over.

"I know there's at least two other Pokemon Trainers like me here, so they should be able to confirm that Pokemon and humans live together as well."

"...in the Human World," Keldeo clarifies, glancing away, looking up. "Not the world I'm from. Humans don't exist there. So I didn't accidentally ruin your studies after all, right?"

It's a minor consolation, but it's something... reinforced by the gentle, insistent smile the 'mon wears.

Mako smiles back at this.

"Yeah. That's...that's a huge relief, really. So, uh...thanks."

Ooooooooh~

You look cool! And your mane is so fluffy! [lol hai touchin your mane] What kind of pony are you?

[...Okay, he's not going to mind the touch ~~much~~ because let's be fair. Until he came here he was locked up in a palace of ice. It is kind of unnerving, though.

As is the question.]

Pony...? I think you're mistaken. My name's Keldeo; I'm not a Ponyta...

[The horn makes it kind of obvious anyway, doesn't it, Pinkie?

Even if it's weird for a unicorn horn.]

Are you suuuuuuure? 'Cause you kinda LOOK like a pony. You've even got a cutie mark, see? [She stops the petting to point at his flank.] And you're definitely not a zebra!

My name's Pinkie Pie! Welcome to Ponyville - have a cupcake! [Pinkie Pie used Spontaneously Appearing Cupcake!]

Yeah, I'm positi-- [And he's distracted by the pointing on his flank. What the heck? Why are there entercards on his butt? Awkwardly, he tries to shake them off, and then tries to reach back and grab them - only to end up losing his balance and falling on his side.]

Wha...? Those aren't supposed to be there, though! I mean.. it doesn't FEEL like there's anything stuck to me, so why would...

[Sorry, Pinkie, he'll have to pass on the cupcake until he figures out exactly how he got a buttprint.]

It's just a mark, silly. It's in your fur, like this! [She turns to show him her own cutie mark, rubbing a hoof vigorously across it. See? No dye!]

...A mark? But... they won't do anything if they aren't specially made! You can't just... they're not something you can doodle on paper! Or on my behind, for that matter!

[...No, he's still a little confused.]

That wasn't there before!

Nah, everypony from a different world gets ponified when they get here! Cutie marks just say what your special talent is, they don't really do anything. Why, what're they supposed to do?

It's... complicated. Entercards are a new technology, and it's really hard to explain how they work, but...

[Here we go. A deep breath.]

Using entercards, you can tap into the leylines of the planet and create a portal of energy, a Magnagate. With a magnagate, you can actually travel in those leylines, meaning it's a means of travelling farther, and faster, than you could naturally.

[...He hopes that didn't sound too long-winded.]
