[The gear is turned on... by something unseen. Or perhaps it's just too close to the camera, as almost immediately there's a surprised squeak and a female, black-fabric-covered butt jerks away from the screen. Moments later a pink haired girl is visible, dressed in a black uniform many will no doubt recognize as belonging to Team Rocket. She's

[His face flushes red. He makes a surprised noise.]

P-Please put your shirt back on, aru!

[video]

[partyofwin]

Why's everyhuman so worried about my shirt?

[Pinkie tugs the shirt back on, looking a bit disgruntled.]

[video]

[gochuugoku]

W-Well... human women have--um... [What should he say?]

Please, just keep the shirt on, aru. You will get used to it.

[He takes a deep breath, hoping it makes his blush fade. He puts on a curious face and rests his hand on his palm.]

So what sort of being were you before coming to Johto?

[partyofwin]

What's a wimmen?

[Sorry, she's used to terms like 'mare' and 'filly'!]

I was a pony, of course!

[video]

[gochuugoku]

A woman is what people call female humans, aru.

Oh? Does that mean you know Rainbow Dash?

[video]

[partyofwin]

Of course I do! She's only one of my bestest friends!

[video]

[gochuugoku]

Oh? [He smiles.] I figured since she claimed to have been a pony before coming to Johto, aru.

My name is Yao Wang and I was a friend of Rainbow Dash while she was here. A pleasure to meet you...? [Asking for a name here.]

[video]

[partyofwin]

So Dashie was here, but she's not anymore? My name's Pinkie Pie!

[video]

[gochuugoku]

I'm afraid so. She's been gone for a month or two, or maybe even more than that, aru.

You ponies have such creative names. [He means that as a compliment!]

[video]

[partyofwin]

I always thought they were pretty normal!

[video]

[gochuugoku]

Well... Come to think of it, I always thought that Eastern names sounded normal too, while the Westerners find them strange, so--I understand the feeling, aru.

Even so, not once have I heard of, or met, anyone in my world named Pinkie Pie or Rainbow Dash. My names, however, 'Yao' and 'Wang' are very common names in China.

[partyofwin]

[She looks rather astonished.]

Other people have your name?

[video]

[gochuugoku]

Yes. Where I come from it is not uncommon to find two people, or more, who have the same name, aru. Why?

[video]

[partyofwin]

I've never heard of anything like that! I mean, families sometimes share the same second part of their name, like all my family has names that end in Pie, but even that's not guaranteed.

[video]

[gochuugoku]

My "second name" just happens to be one of the most common last names in my country, aru.

I guess the humans who gave me that name could not think of anything else.

[video]

[partyofwin]

Oh! You weren't a human either?
