Red sighed and said “Well, everyone thinks I’m dead anyway, so I don’t see why I can’t stay here for the foreseeable future. The only things I can see being a problem right now are my appearance, and a place of residence.”
Celestia place a hoof on her chin, then responded with “Those are two very puzzling problems… No one outside the room can know about you for the time being, except for Spike, so that makes everyone but Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash unable to provide housing. I doubt you can fly, so Rainbow Dash is out. How many of those creatures do you have in those things?” She asked, pointing at the pokeball that contained Mew.
“35 of various shapes and sizes, but what my suggestion would be is to have me make my own house out in that forest, and don’t worry, I can fend for myself. That way I will have room for all my partners, and I’ll be out off the way, because I sure can’t stay here at the castle. That would get way too much unwanted attention!”
“Will you require some assistance building said home? Twilight and her friends could come and assist you. I’m sure you would need it.”
“Well then princess, you would be wrong then, like I said, I have 35 Pokemon with me, and with their help, my home will be done in a snap.” And with that, Red let Mew out, and had her teleport him to the Everfree forest.
All the ponies, and discord, left in the room just sat there with their jaws dropped. Celestia cleared her throat and said “If he can achieve what he claims, then I will be very glad to have him as a friend and not an enemy.” Everypony else conveyed a similar sentiment.
