[The feed comes on to show Apollo walking along Route 31 with a Sentret on one shoulder and a large Spearow preening on his other shoulder, the image shaking as he walks. There's a pause before he says anything.]

Can anyone else talk to the animals here? Where you hear what they say in your head? Or can most humans not do that?

[He ends the feed and waits for an answer. He doesn't like the idea of having to ask random humans, but if it turns out that most people can't hear what plants and animals are saying, maybe that's why they can hurt them so easily. He'd always assumed that they knew how much pain they were causing and didn't care, but if they didn't know...]

I don't think most humans can do that. They can't where I come from, at least. Why? Can you?

Huh. That's an amazing talent. I don't think anyone can do that where I come from. So, what prompted you to ask, if you don't mind my asking?

[ Hey, now. Hey. Now. She folds her arms, pausing briefly. She brushes off the thought that follows, then speaks. ]

In my experience, it can be any of those three or a mix of them. Every person is different. I'd like to think its ignorance in the majority of cases myself.

I never said it did. You wanted an answer and I gave you one.

I don't think there's an absolute answer to that question. It differs person to person and animal to animal. To some, I think they're friends. To others, inconveniences or enemies. To many, food. To still others, tools. I think these things may overlap sometimes, too. It really depends.

Living creatures with their own ways of both living and getting by. I prefer to have them as friends when and where I can. Some are food, but I haven't had to hunt for myself since...

[ Since she was a kid, but that's a bit personal in her mind. She doesn't want to open the door for a conversation that extends that far into her past. She curbs her answer. ]

It's been a long time. Even then, I minded myself.

[ She'll smile a bit at that herself. It's not often she meets people who had to do as much in their childhood or adulthood, after all. ]

You hunted as a child?

That's true. What have you been doing in Johto, if you don't mind my asking? Just buying from the markets? I haven't seen any wild life that could be hunted for food since I've been here myself.

I didn't think so. That the Pokémon were edible, I mean.

That's good. It wouldn't do to starve. I guess we just have to make do with what we can until we're sent back.

[ And she pauses, albeit briefly. ] I don't believe I've introduced myself yet. My name's Valeria, and you are...?

I'm curious to know myself. I have a feeling it'll be difficult to find the answer to that question, though. Just a hunch.

[ And she smiles. ] It's nice to meet you, Apollo.

That's pretty strange. You'd think they'd know, if anyone did.

[ And she wonders, at that. Surely the Pokémon would know... they are the creatures of the wild in this world, after all. Strange. ]

It could be in Kanto. That would explain the scarcity.

It's the region beyond Johto. It has its own gyms and a Champion to beat. I've heard you can reach it via the Magnet Train in Goldenrod.
