First Dig [visual]
[Hello, Ponyville. Your newest import is a small purple dragon with bizarre gem-eyes! And she's walking around, looking at the scroll. Judging from the trees behind her, it looks like she's near the forest. Somehow, her hands are free! What you can't see is that she's using her scarf like a second set of hands, holding on to the scroll. When she speaks, she seems pleasant enough, and her voice has a friendly southern twang to it]
This here scroll's pretty nifty, I have to say! We got somethin' like this, sorta, called a frism. Got one at home, under lock and key! It's a weird little jar made'a ice that's so cold, it can freeze voices. Then when you warm it up, it plays the voice back for ya! But it can't record pictures, not like this! No sir-ee.
Er… [she pauses, tapping her claws to her chin] Ain't what I'm here to talk about though!
My name's Gemineye! Gemmy for short! [she says it "Jimmy"] I'm a Pokémon, ya see. And I'm mighty curious as to who owns this here land. I s'pect this is a good place to live. S'good as any! [she holds the scroll out, showing an area near the foothills of Rambling Rock Ridge. She's marked it off with whatever she could find; rocks, leaves, flowers, whatever.] But I don't just wanna take it over! I got Bits! Plenty of 'em fer land like this! [her Poké and the handful of gems she'd had in her bag had carried over pretty well]
Ah, and once I get the land, I'm gonna need me a favor from one of y'all. Architecture ain't my strongest point, and I'd like a little hut out here. Just a roof to keep out the elements, I reckon. The sooner I get a base of operations, the sooner I can get to servin' this fine community with my special talents![buttering you ponies up? You bet. She turns the scroll back on herself]
I s'pose I should also ask if any of ya know what a "Pokémon" is. Most of the Ponyta --- er… "ponies" -- I talked to ain't never heard of 'em before! Ain't sure how that's possible. They also called me a dragon. I can tell ya what, I ain't no dragon-type! [she laughs, because it's a FUNNY JOKE SEE] I'm a Sableye, like my mom and her mom and her mom before her! We're ghost and dark types! Dragon… pretty silly.

Might as well include subtitles, I guess!
With that, Mako picks up the scroll in her mouth and trots over to the riverbank near Etranger.
"Etranger, a Sableye wants to talk to you!"
The baby dragon looks up from her playtime and addresses the pony in a series of chirping trills.
"[Aww, but I was playing, Mama!]"
no subject
[Gemmy can understand the chirping well enough. It's a little primitive, more like the language spoken by wild Pokémon, but she can get the basic gist]
Hey there! You must be Etranger. Is it true yer actually a Hydreigon? Don'tcha miss your other heads? Shishishi!
no subject
"[Of course I am! Are you really a Sableye? You don't really look like one. I met a Sableye once! He was weird. And why would I miss my heads? I've got cool thumbs, and I can talk to Mama, and I'm really small and light so Mama can carry me around like she did when I was a Deino, and at night I get to cuddle with Mama, and we have this whole big river to play in without any dumb Basculin to stop us and I can eat gems now! Your eyes are gems. What's it like having eyes made out of food? Don't you ever get worried that another Pokemon is going to eat your eyes? Oh, but I won't eat your eyes, 'cause I'm a good dragon!]"
...like mother, like daughter, apparently.

"[If it weren't for the eyes, you'd look like a dragon too, so I couldn't tell. And I'm strong too! I know Dragon Pulse, and Flamethrower, and Surf, and I've known Earth Power ever since I was born! Mama says I inherryted it from my Dad, but I never met him, so I dunno how that works.]"

At this last bit, however, she feels the need to intervene.
"If Etranger wants to do that, I will be supervising."
She's smiling as she says it.
