You don't know how it happened, but you have an idea as to why. Moments after you fell into Khazad Dum with the Balrog you were pulled away from Arda entirely and dropped into a new world by someone... or rather something working in conjuction with Illuvatar. You need not worry about the Balrog. You were split effectively into two Galdalfs with one being left behind in your world to deal with the threat of Sauron.
Your mission on the other hand is to be a learner... an ambassador of sorts to travel the many worlds besides Arda, and learn about the many things and threats beyond Sauron.
You come to no worse for wear... resting peacefully under a tree in a forest.

"Hmmg..." the old man usually calling himself Gandalf grunted as he slowly got back up by leaning upon his staff. "Very well... I suppose I will have trust my other self to see this through", he pondered out loud as he silently considered his new duties, picking up his hat, dusting it and putting it on.
Sheathing his sowrd, the old man examined his surroundings for any sign of civilization. 8 in Intelligence +2 from Acute Sight to do so.
Also gonna update a few details on the CAD to match what's revealed here, in particular his new duties. I take it I should also remove his Deadly Enemies?

(No you can keep that one)
You walk along for a couple of minutes until you come upon a large wasp nest... Bigger than any you saw before.
Tended by several giant bipedal hornets with huge needles for arms.

"Well... would you look at this", he said to himself as he observed the creatures, using a simple Beast Speech spell. "Hello. Are you friendly per any chance?" 5 (Ef) in Enchantment (Beast Speech), 2 to ignore the requirements, 3 to activate Beast Speech.
6 in Social Skills (Kind and caring) to try a little exchange hopefully polite enough for their taste.

"Take a step closer, and we will sting you!" They all yell.

"Oof. So much for an attempt at friendship. Fine, fine, I will leave you in peace", the wizard said as he took his leave. "So giant wasps not much friendlier than regular ones... pity."
He tried simply walking out of the forest to have a better view of his surroundings. 6 in Intelligence to try having a look around out of the forest.

You go through the woods when you come across a strange sight... One that brings back memories.
A human woman in armor with firey red hair guiding four small childlike creatures, and a pony...
except the childlike beings were little girls with strange mechanical parts strapped to their bodies, and the pony had a mane and tail made of fire.
"We're almost back to the city." The woman explained. "We'll be able to get Bill's leg treated at the Pokemon center."
"You really should put him back in his ball Inazuma." The purple haired member of the four smaller girls said. "He's only gonna get hurt more walking with us."
"I know... But Bill doesn't like being in his Pokeball nanodesu." One of the brown haired girls said. "I don't want to force him to be uncomfortable."
"He's uncomfortable walking." Her friend countered. "That's the whole point of a ball."
"But when I tried to call him back he didn't want to be in there nanodesu..." She protested more.

"Fate... has a curious sense of humor" the old man pondered, as he walked out of the woods. "Perhaps... there is a way to prevent further pain without the use of this ball you're speaking of."
He tipped his hat. "Apologies for overhearing your conversation. My name... is Gandalf, and I am a healer. Among other things. If you would give me a chance, I believe I can make things much easier for your pony friend?", he explained. 6 in Social Skills (Kind and caring, Persuade, Compassionate) to offer them my aid.

"You can do that?" She asked. "Thank you so much, I'd really appreciate that nanodesu." Inazuma said.
"We thank you for offering your assistance." The woman said. "My name is Pyrrha, and these are the sisters Akatsuki, Hibiki, Ikazuchi, and Inazuma, and Inazuma's pony Bill."

"A pleasure to meet you all. It's not much, but I'm confident that Bill will appreciate it", he said with a nod as he walked up to the pony. "Hello Bill. Would you let me help you?" he asked, moving to heal the pony if he let him with a slight touch of his hand. 8 in Abjuration (Healing-Spell), 6 to heal the pony by 2w, 2 to negate the need for requirements.

"Ponyta!" It chirped happily as it flexed it's healed leg a bit.
"Thank you so much for helping my Pokemon nanodesu." Inazuma said.

Gandalf smiled and patted the pony's back gently.
"I could not just stand by and let him suffer", he said with a smile. "Although I must admit, I was hoping I could get a bit of help in return. I am... not from around here. I don't know of any cities, customs or the culture of these lands. I was hoping perhaps I could travel in your company for a while and learn the ropes with your assistance?" he asked.

"That would be wise, we're kind of strangers to this world ourselves, except for Bill here, we do however know the location of a city nearby and were heading there, you are welcome to come along." Pyrrha said.

"Oh... ohohoh. You're not from this world either? What an intriguing coincidence. I was wondering whether I should mention it or not, but it seems we share similar... circumstances", he pondered. "I appreciate it. I will gladly come along then", he decided.

"Understood." Pyrrha said. "I'll take point, you can remain with the girls." She said leading the way.
