So, in Season 5, even though Dr. Zack's creditors knew that Alan wouldn't be that much of a threat, his persistence and fairly-tough military could be a distraction to their plans. As such, they struck a deal with Queen Chrysalis; if she can kill Alan with a special type of poison specifically made to permanently kill Inklings and takes over his place and identity for a while, they'll reward her with as much love as she desires. The Changeling Queen accepts the deal and, under the disguise of Bright Spark, enters Alan's fortress to discuss "peaceful negotiations" over dinner. However, when Alan drinks his beverage that had the poison in it, it's revealed that it's not poison at all and that the aliens accidentally gave her a potion that turned Alan into a pony (and since he's an Inkling, this also makes him his own PHX). Still, Queen Chrysalis quickly improvised by knocking Alan out cold and ordered one of her Changeling minions to take him somewhere where nobody would find him. The Changeling minion throws Alan into a teleporter, thinking that it would take him into a volcano or something when in reality, Alan was teleported into Equestria, where Red Fork finds him and takes him to his house to treat him. When Alan wakes up and finds out that he's been turned into a pony, he freaked out, thinking that he'll probably be stuck being a pony forever. When Red Fork offers him the Red Crystal's assistance, he reluctantly accepted. However, he did clarify that he doesn't remember what happened before being knocked out. And so, until he does remember, he's stuck living with the Red Crystals. Long story short, this Season will also focus on the Red Crystals trying to warm up Pony!Alan, where he begins to regain his morality and become a bit of a less salty person.
