[Apollo's plan for this post was to mention that he'd gotten the Mineral and Storm Badges and was finally able to use Fly now that the fog was gone, but more importantly to talk about the whole Yamask possession thing where he became a teenage punk for two days.
But as the feed comes on to show his face and he's about to speak, his eyes glance down and his jaw starts to drop. The hand holding the PokéGear drops and dangles, the camera showing a brief glimpse of the Fearow he's riding before it comes to rest on what Apollo is seeing.
Johto.
Beams of sunlight shine through the cloud cover and reflect off of the sea between Cianwood and the mainland as a pod of Wailord surface and spout water from their blowholes. A wind blows lines across the long grasses of Route 39. Flocks of bird Pokémon fly through the air, so far away that it's impossible to tell what kind they are. Far in the distance the snow-capped peak of Mt. Silver can be seen, with Mt. Mortar dwarfed by comparison. Ilex Forest is a tiny patch of reds and oranges at this height, and the shining skyscrapers of Goldenrod City look like models, even the Radio Tower appearing small. And, so far away that it's hard to see, is New Bark Town.
Apollo's awed voice can faintly be heard in the background, though it's easy to miss.]
All that time I spent walking... it was all this small? ...But it keeps going...
[He finally understands what the map is actually trying to show, and with that comes a thought.]
Is Grandpa's forest this small too?
...
I never knew the world.
[Responses will be ICly delayed by an hour or two while Apollo recovers from being shown how limited his worldview was.]

[Video, some time later]
A what?
[Video]
A Yamask. They're small floating black Pokémon with big red eyes that carry a golden mask. They used to be humans and if the mask ends up on your face they can control your body.
[He must be really distracted to be having a civil conversation with Cobra.]

[He's not buying it at all.]

Believe what you want, it doesn't change anything.
Did you ever look behind you after the Yamask controlling me told you that there were Shuppets behind you? Or did you just keep believing what you wanted to believe?
[Video]
Those? They were dealt with. Nothing more than a minor inconvenience believe me.
[Video]
And you expect me to believe this?
[It's... hard to tell how serious Apollo is being right now.]

[Any hypocrisy here is of course, lost on Cobra Commander.]

[I'd expect nothing less. XD]
