Newcomers and veterans alike, welcome to the world of ponies!

[aie_mods]

Who: YOU. And you. And you. And everyone!
What: What just happened!? You've been transported into the world of ponies, that's what.
When: November 10th
Where: Smack dab in the middle of Ponyville. And around Ponyville. And maybe a little outside Ponyville too.
Rating: You know you.

(Pssst. Check out the story so far to get an idea for what's happened prior to this point!)

It all happened in a flash. Short earthquakes and aftershocks rocked some of the buildings in Ponyville as a magical explosion wreaked its own brand of havoc across Equestria. Once the dust settled, however, the Ponyville ponies realized that there were some newcomers in their midst. Ones that were definitely not there before the explosion. So where did they come from, and how did they get here? Did the explosion bring them here?

Luckily, the actual damage from the earthquakes was minor, and there were no actual downed buildings, just some that were now slightly cracked and in need of repairs.

The natives slowly closed in on the newcomers, warily eyeing them and wondering what their intentions were. But rather than looking angry or upset, they just looked confused and curious. Why not introduce yourselves to them, and to each other?

The official royal welcome wagon might even show up soon!

Considering everything, probably a good idea. It would make Serena's head spin since she was very hot for Ash right now.

"Oh I can't wait! You must be so excited to be friends with a princess!"

[onaroll]

“Well, I am the Grand Duchess of the Battle Chateau...”

[never_give_up]

"Battle Chateau? I remember that. We didn't really stay long there though," admitted Serena. "We were on the go. What's it like being the Grand Duchess?"

[onaroll]

“Exhausting. They’re all insane.”

There’s a weary look on her face.

[never_give_up]

"That... sounds about right. They seemed very, very passionate about battling. Kind of like Ash's people. But worse." admitted Serena.

[onaroll]

“It’s kind of sad that one of the easiest to deal with is the cultist.”

[never_give_up]

"I'm sorry a what now?!"

[onaroll]

“Marchioness Fiona worships muscles.”

Pause.

“I am being serious.”

[never_give_up]

"O-oh," said Serena.

What could she say at that but oh? That was mindboggling.

[onaroll]

"Fiona's a very nice lady, other than that. Much easier to deal with than, say, the maid that thinks she's a robot assassin."

Still. Not. Joking.

[never_give_up]

"I'm starting to be glad that we didn't hang around the Chateau that long..." said Serena with a bit of a boggled expression.

[onaroll]

"Prize money's worth it."

Pause.

"Also Diantha comes there sometimes and we have really good rematches."

[never_give_up]

"Prize money? You get prize money for winning?"

Guess who doesn't get prize money.

"Oh you know Diantha as well? Wait, you battled her too?"

[onaroll]

Blink blink.

“I said I was the Champion, remember?”

[never_give_up]

"Yes, but I didn't think that meant champion as in battling Diantha! The championships in my world boiled down Alain vs Ash!"

Serena doesn't know what's even going on. "This is a lot to take in, you've lived such a crazier life than I did!"

[onaroll]

She keeps mentioning this Ash person...eh, no worries.

“How does the League work in your world, then?”

[never_give_up]

"It's a tournament," replied Serena. "People from all across Kalos who obtain the 8 badges qualify for the Kalos Championship, and it's a winner take all championship. The winner gets accolades and the like."

[onaroll]

“Ahh. Once you’ve earned all eight badges, you make your way through Victory Road, an extensive cave system filled with other eight badge trainers, and at the end is the palace of the Elite Four. After defeating them all with no breaks, you battle the Champion.”

[never_give_up]

"Yours sounds so much more grueling than ours," admitted Serena.

"No breaks must involve a lot of potions in between battles. Most trainers only carry like one or two."

[onaroll]

“I had about twenty Full Restores, five Max Ethers, and more Leppa and Sitrus berries than I knew what to do with.”

Pause.

“And even then we had to conserve all our strength for Diantha, so I usually had just one or two of my team sweep a single Elite Four team.”

[never_give_up]

"Yeah, that's a lot of medicine, we couldn't carry that much!" Exclaimed Serena.

"Oh wow, that's amazing. Don't Elite Four members carry up to six Pokemon?"

[onaroll]

“Oui, oui. It was...ah, mon dieu, it was a lot of effort!”

[never_give_up]

"Then congratulations on your victory, even how belated it is!"

[onaroll]

Amelie chuckles.

"Ah, merci beaucoup."

You're all right, baby timeclone. You're all right.

[never_give_up]

Awww you're going to make her blush!

Future timeclone self was pretty awesome after all.
