[The video opens on the Lake of Rage, before angling down to show Apollo's face. He's lying on his back in the grass next to the lake. Unlike some of his previous posts, he's not just his usual calm self. He's in a good mood right now, if that contented smile is anything to go by.]

This place really reminds me of home. A lake, a forest, mountains... The giant water snakes who sometimes try to eat me when I go swimming are different, but other than that it's a lot like home. It's nice here. The Pokémon with me like it too.

[The arm holding the gear falls to the ground and the camera films the sky through blades of grass for a while before Apollo sits up and points it back at his face. He's serious now.]

What do I need to know to beat the gym in Goldenrod City? How do I know if the Pokémon with me are strong enough to win?

[The Sentwins are blissfully unaware of her worries.

Well I didn't try to have a battle before I was ready --
And I really didn't -
Yes you did! I saw you!
No you didn't!
Yes I did!!

Rin's not too sure what they're talking about but he hands the gear to the two pokemon and gives a quick wave good bye to Apollo.]

[Apollo's just going to sit back and watch this with a bit of confusion. He's never seen anything like human siblings and parents interacting before, since normal animals don't act like this, so he only has a vague idea of what's going on here.

Did you two battle already?

Furret asks in a way that says that she knows very well what the answer to that question is.

((What genders are they? I checked his roster post but it didn't say.)) ]

[One of the Sentret - Carrot - looks away shyly while the other steps forward and speaks loudly. She was proud of her achievement!]

ME!! I battled! And she did too, but I battled more! And I fought a reaaaaaaaaaally big rattata! Bigger than my head! Bigger than anything!!

[Carrot shakes her head...] ...But it was Cabbage who fought for us...

((I updated my chart after this post and realized I never replied! x__x They're both girls~!))

[Did you get hurt?

Mama is concerned for your safety. And also that your human names Pokémon after food, but that won't be brought up to them.]

[No... Our human got hurt. He didn't realize that we went off and tried to battle on our own.

Carrot actually speaks up this time, before her more excited twin can. But Cucumber bristles and manages to speak up.

Well we wouldn't have done that if he would stop treating us like hatchlings and more like grown-ups!]
