Hey everypony! Starfall is back with another installment of The Broken Barrier! Also, the OC's are humans, not ponies.

LightningCloud245: Yus.

-/ Eterna Forest, Sinnoh reigon /-

"W-where are we?" I ask nervously.

"I don't know... But I don't like it..." Lightning says.

"Okay. Let's make a plan." I say, as I get on my hooves.

"A plan? YOU have a plan? Extremely unorganized Starfall has a plan?" Lightning Cloud jokes.

"You owe me for that muffin so listen!" I say angrily. "Let's find civilization, then ask the ponies that live there where we are! Easy!"

"Okay, Star. Hope you know what we're doing."

We hear some voices from a path up ahead.

"Okay, let's train over here!" A male voice says.

Train? Like training for a challenge? I wonder.

"I don't have a good feeling about this..." I whisper. "Quick, let's hide!"

I dive into a cluster of trees, Lightning following.

A strange.. hairless ape thing walks into the clearing with a smaller blue, firing creature beside it.

"Okay Cyndaquil, let's level you up a bit!" He says.

"What is that thing?" I ask quietly.

"I dunno, but you know that mare Lyra?"

"Yeah.."

"She's obsessed with these things called 'humans'. So, I was thinking, that this might be one of those 'humans!'"

"That makes sense! Lyra is always ranting about those things."

Apparently, we were loud enough for that human to hear, because he starts to turn his head, looking for the noise.

"Hello? Who are you?" He says.

We duck lower into the trees, but we can still see him while peeking through the bushes.

"Don't be scared, Pokemon." He comforts.

What the hay is a Pokemon?

Then he stares right at the bushes where we are hiding.

"I see your eyes, don't be afraid."

I step backwards, only to trip over a root and make more noise.

The human starts walking toward us. I look at Lightning, both of our eyes filled with fear.

He pushes apart the bushes.

"I've never seen these types of Pokemon before.." He mutters. "I'll just use my trusty" He pulls out a red device that I've never seen. "Pokedex!"

The Pokedex says in an electronic voice, "Pokemon unknown. Similar to the fire horse, Ponyta."

Lightning stands up with confidence. "We are ponies, I am Lightning Cloud, and this is Starfall."

I stand, (with not even half that confidence) and squeeze out a hi.

He seems astounded. "Y-you can talk?!"

"No. No we can't." I say sarcastically, then go hide behind Lightning, afraid of what the human would do.

"Um, well, I'm Garret." He says. "So you are a Starfall, and you are a Lightning Cloud? What are your types?"

"Types?" I ask. "And I am not A Starfall, that's just my name. I am a Pegasus pony and Lightning Cloud is an alicorn."

"We're from Equestria," Lightning says, knowing we are not in Equestria, "And do you know where that is?"

"Equestria?" Garret asks, confused. "No, I don't know what or where that is."

"Uh, well it's where us ponies are from, and Princesses Celestia and Luna rule." Then I explain how they raise the sun and moon, and other Equestrian things.

"Ah." Garret says. "So you two aren't Pokemon at all."

Out of all my explaining, this is what he gets of it?

"Well, we don't know where we are, what YOU are, and what these "Pokemon" things are." Lightning starts, hoping for Garret to answer her questions.

"You are in the Eterna Forest, I am a human, and Pokemon, are these little fellas." He then goes into an explanation of what Pokemon are and where we are. He also explains that he is from the Kanto region, and his Cyndaquil was his starter from Kanto and cannot be found here.

"Okay, let's get you two to Eterna City to rest up and get someone to help you back home."

Thanks for reading! Also, thanks to ONWARDconwardicus for Garret!
