First gem [action/video]

[notsemiprecious]

What sort of magic is this? I've never heard of it before!

[There is a purple haired woman sitting on a bench, she's examining her hand, and moving each finger one at a time]

I don't have...hooves. [and she feels her forehead] And...where's my horn? This is kidnapping, isn't it? [she sounds quite annoyed, now] Well, if you're looking for me to

[happy Gasp!]

Rarity! You came back!

[notsemiprecious]

Back? That doesn't make sense, I don't remember leaving in the...

[that voice sounds familiar. She peers into the camera.] ...Fluttershy?

[3_butterflies]

[Pause... oh, boy.]

You don't remember? Oh, dear... um... Well...

Y-Yes, it's me... And Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash are here too... We've all been turned into this...

video

[notsemiprecious]

Oh! [there's a small sigh of relief.] ...What sort of kidnapping scheme is this? We're taken from Equestria, and turned into...these? What are these called?

video

[3_butterflies]

They're called humans... Everyone here is a human... Everyone who comes into this place gets turned into a human... And your magic is gone too...

video

[notsemiprecious]

Humans! They have very strange shapes, these...[she wiggles her fingers

...wait, Fluttershy, did you say what she thought she said?] I don't have my magic? You mean I can't find gems?

[shriiiinks back, reluctantly nodding.]

I'm sorry, but it's true... Rainbow Dash and I can't fly, either...

video

[notsemiprecious]

[there's silence for a few seconds.]

...But no one has magic here? How do they get by?

video

[3_butterflies]

The Pokemon help... That's what they call the creatures here... Everyone gets one when they arrive, and you can make more friends with them in the wild... You got one too...

[notsemiprecious]

I did, I've met her already. [She shifts the angle so that Fluttershy can see Dratini nudging her ankle.]

But why does the book mention capturing these creatures?

video

[3_butterflies]

It's something you can do... The pokemon fight each other, and when it's weak enough, you use little balls to make them your own... I don't like it very much, but the Pokemon seem to enjoy it...

video

[notsemiprecious]

Well, that sounds quite barbaric if you ask me. I want no part in this fighting.

video

[3_butterflies]

Me neither... I just like taking care of them... but Applejack wants to do the fighting...

video (how could I forget pinkie pie?!)

[notsemiprecious]

Well that's not a surprise. Applejack and Rainbow Dash seem the fighting types.

...But where exactly am I and where are you, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash?

video (no worries~)

[3_butterflies]

Applejack, Pinkie Pie and I are at the Union Cave, but Rainbow Dash is even further away from us... I'm afraid we're all many days ahead...

video

[notsemiprecious]

You all are?

...How long have you been here?
