[Hello, Route, have an excited pony! She's a little messy and has a twig or two stuck in her curls, but that doesn't seem to have any effect on her smile.]

Look! I made it to the next city! Boink was super-de-duper helpful, and we made a new friend!

[The girl sets the 'gear down on a counter, showing any viewers the surely familiar setting of the inside of a pokemon center. Pinkie ducks out of sight for a few seconds before returning with said friend--a sleepy-looking Rattata.]

Her name is Nibbles! Isn't she cute? She tried to sneak into my sleeping bag last night. I can't blame her--this place is super cold when you don't have a whole coat of hair! Which she does. But she's tiny!

But, uhmn...

[Nibbles is placed onto her head and the 'gear is picked up once more.]

Is it normal to be able to talk with your pokemon? Nibbles doesn't, but Boink has been talking to me lots and lots! I'm not complaining, since he's really really helpful. I just want to know if Nibbles is mad at me for taking her with me. That's all!

The next town... that's Cherrygrove, right? Great work, Pinkie! You'll be here in Goldenrod sooner than you know it.

As for your Pokemon... From what I can tell, it's because your Boink is a Psychic Type Pokemon, so he can talk to you with his mind. Just like my Starswirl. Nibbles can't do that, so she can't tell you. But I wouldn't worry too much. As long as you treat her right she should be okay. And if you run into trouble you've always got Fluttershy to talk to!

Mhmn! [LOOK HOW PROUD OF HERSELF SHE IS, TWILIGHT.] I'm doing my best so that I can meet up with all you ponies as soon as possible!

[Wow, woah. What? Pinkie's eyes are saucers. It's as if she's forgotten that she...knew Boink was speaking to her.]

That's a totally neato talent! Only now I feel kind of bad... Why can't Nibbles talk with her mind? That doesn't seem very fair. I'm sure she has lots and lots to say, too!

Well, for the same reason unicorns can use magic and pegasi and earth ponies can't, I guess. It's just a talent Psychic-types are born with. It's a bit unfair, but... hmmm, maybe Boink could translate for her?

Mn, that makes sense. [She...thinks. Maybe? Also time to move away from the subject of magic before she upsets Twilight again.]

That'll work! I can ask him if he wants to after they both get a nap in. That way they won't be asleepy!

Have they been up for a while? You should swing by a Pokemon center to let them rest if you aren't headed there already.

Mhmn. We were traveling really fast, since I wanted to make up for the time where I had to learn how to walk on these silly things!

[She points down. She's already learned that trying to stand on one foot isn't the easiest thing to do yet, or she'd lift one to show Twilight. Pinkie then moves the camera to show her friend the area.]

I'm already there! I thought it was a bakery at first, but this is good too! It's nice that they have places for all of us and our pokemon to rest.
