Well I'll be, mundane! Guess that recent episode got ya that little bit more giddyup to go ahead and make this here journal. Just don't think about sending me to one of them "sex" places. That ain't right, and I ain't going even if y'all try and make me.

( Don't worry AJ, I'd never do that! )

As long as we're both on the same page, then you got nothing to worry about same as me. Uh... and if I can make another small request? Don't put me someplace where I'd get killed. Not too keen on the idea of being brought back from the dead. ( AJ shivers a little. ) Woo, gives me the willies just thinking about it!

The Great and Powerful Trixie's mundane is forcing her to mention that applications at gargleblasted shall be opening up in due time.

[didntlearnanything]

My mun's gotta get themselves situated proper. How long do ya think it'll be before applications open?

...And I thought y'all were done with that "Great and Powerful" stuff.

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

Trixie deems your mundane to have plenty of time, as applications open on the 29th.

[Trixie scoffs.]

The only things Trixie is done with are red amulets that force herself to commit vile, horrific acts. She is a showmare, she wonders why in Equestria she should quit her job. Because, you know, it's how she makes a living.

[didntlearnanything]

I'll make sure my mun checks the place out from head to toe in the time they've got.

Ain't no honest, hard work involved in that sort of living, but I guess there's more than one way to get an apple out of a tree. Just make sure y'all don't get anymore ideas in your head about enslaving Ponyville.

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

...I won't. I don't want to enslave or torture anypony again... I just... I just wanted my life back and everything went wrong.

[bestofthebest]

Hey, AJ! If you wanted to try your hoof out at something fun, my mun suggests route_29, and it wouldn't just be the 2 of us. Twilight and Fluttershy are here, too.

[didntlearnanything]

That's a tempting offer, Rainbow Dash. Looks like my mun's got two places to put under their belt for future contemplation.

...Though what the hay is a Pokemon?

[bestofthebest]

Well, think of a Pokemon like another pony - except you get to pull off stupendous awesome attacks like firing bolts of lightning, shooting blasts of hot fire from your mouth or hitting bursts of water at somepony you can't stand like Discord!

Or, it's kinda like Winona having powers like Twilight and Princess Celestia.

[didntlearnanything]

That sure does sound like something.

( There's a brief pause here as AJ runs a hoof under her chin in thought. Afterward... )

Hey uh, Rainbow Dash... Do y'all think I could maybe find one of these Pokemon that resembles Winona, on account of me not being able to bring her along? At least I think I can't...

[bestofthebest]

Sure! My mun suggests Growlithe for your first Pokemon, 'cause it's a Fire-type but also a puppy Pokemon, very loyal and obedient. Once you've raised their level high enough, it'll evolve into Arcanine!

(Rainbow thinks for a moment, then grins.)

Plus, you can even give Growlithe a nickname - I chose a Charmander for my first Pokemon but soon got Squirtle after a few weeks, so I named him Tank! You could name your Growlithe Winona if you want!

[friendyousohard]

Consider this a second request for you to come to route_29, AJ. We all miss you, and I think you'll be a wonderful Pokemon trainer.

Even if becoming a human is going to be pretty awkward for you at first.

[didntlearnanything]

Well shucks Twilight, that's mighty kind of you to say.

( Hey wait a minute... )

Uh... human?

[friendyousohard]

Oh, did Rainbow not mention that little detail? Everypony (even if the term becomes pretty inaccurate once there) who arrives in Johto is turned human. And powers are taken away. Probably so we can focus more on the Pokemon, but it doesn't make it any less obnoxious.

[didntlearnanything]

That sounds as weird as a twenty flavored apple doing backflips, Twilight. Not that I have any powers to be taken away.

[friendyousohard]

Wait, can apples have that many flavors?

... Not the point! What I mean is, you'll have a lot of adapting to do if your mun sends you to join us, powers or no powers. Still, if you're interested, I don't think I can really even put into words how much it would mean to have you around.

Also, funny little side note here. The last AJ we had started with a Growlithe, too.

[elementofloyalty]

Oh jeez, look at everypony else showing up just to try to get you to come places! Don't worry, AJ, I'm just here to hang out with you!

[This is about as subtle as Dash gets.]

'Course it would be easier if you were where I was...

[didntlearnanything]

My mun's already got problems stretching themselves too thin as is when it comes to their job, so I'm gonna have to talk this whole thing over with them. If it doesn't stretch them too thin, Rainbow Dash, then I'll definitely consider coming to be with ya.

[elementofloyalty]

Oh yeah! Don't get me wrong. It was entirely my mun's idea to send me here after you. I'm totally cool. I've been getting along just fine without you!

[Rainbow Dash's cutie mark could easily be sour grapes, some days.]

Besides, it's weird here. Pinkie Pie's stuck as a human!

[didntlearnanything]

Now that sounds just plain odd. Y'all sure you're alright without me? I don't wanna put too much stress on my mun after all.

[elementofloyalty]

When have I ever NEEDED anypony to be just fine? I can take care of everything by myself!

[trixtan]

[Trixtan looks upthread and sighs.] I'm sorry if Mom's Great and Powerful thing is irritating to you. But it makes her feel better, and it's not really hurting anyone. Just let her be. She means well.

[didntlearnanything]

Wait... y'all are Trixie's kid?

[trixtan]

Doctor Trixtan, at your service. I'm her son from the future. I arrived here yesterday. Pleasure to meet you, Miss.

[didntlearnanything]

...Well don't that beat all! Looks like Trixie finally found her special somepony and settled down.

[trixtan]

Er, well, not exactly. My Dad took off running when I came around. So she's still a performer. She says The Great and Powerful Trixie doesn't need anyone.
