No one can resist pokemon, it seems. He nodded and followed the directions dutifully, chatting as he went.
"Well, you wouldn't know it, but they're all of a...oh, what's the taxonomic term...kingdom? Phylum? Well, they're all Pokemon. Though the menagerie is very varied indeed. All kinds, all seemingly fantastic versions of plainer creatures I knew on Earth. Oh, ah, that's my home world.
Sizeable things, too. Haven't seen any below at least a foot or two in height. No finches, these! They all have great capacity to violence; though of course I won't subject you to that, as a viewer or a...target. They can still represent the court of Pan as well as anything. And intelligent! For beasts, anyway. They can't quite communicate, though their skill for pantomime is curiously excellent. They 'talk' by repeating their names with, I assume, infinitely varied cadence and tone. Some really aren't safe to meet at all without protection. If you value your respiratory system--if you have one--you'll best steer clear of Vileplume, for example, and her many spores. I think the one I'll show you is...ah, but we're at the crossroads."
Your flogging will include at /least/ thirty lashes
