[The video opens on Apollo sitting on a bench outside of the Celadon City Pokémon Center. A cameramon is obviously involved, considering that both of his arms are visible. He's not wearing his cloak for once, given the heat, just the loose green sleeveless shirt he usually wears under it. He does have visible muscles, but his arms are still pretty skinny. He also seems kind of... uncertain? about this post.]

I finally got off of that route and ended up in a place called "Celadon City". I talked to Nurse Joy and found out that there's a "Magnet Train" in Saffron City that I can take to get back to Johto. It sounds like it will take a lot of money though. Is there some way to get back as fast that doesn't need as much money?

[He could end it there, but no, he can't ignore the thing that's bothering him anymore. He brings his hands into the picture, holding up a well-worn hardcover book: "An Examination of the Historical Basis for the Myths of the Kingdom of Alisia".]

This is one of Grandpa's books. After he died I left it on the shelf with his other books, right where he left it. It was in the PC when I checked it. How did it get there? I thought that only people came here, not other things.

[He puts the book back on his lap, looking down at it for a moment.]

It feels kind of like someone dug up his grave.

[The cameramon wisely decides to end the video there.]

[Later, Apollo can be found with a Combee and a Vespiquen, looking through any flower and gardening shops they can find, buying seeds and flowering plants. He definitely looks like someone who's entirely there for the sake of the Pokémon, and could probably use some cheering up.]

[Apollo's been here over a year, and yet in that time he's never once attempted to use anything other than video to talk to people. Which is why there'll be a few posts of keysmashes and drawings that look like someone accidentally brushed the screen with their finger before the audio post comes on. When it does, he sounds both concerned and confused.]

I think this is working now?

...I'm not sure where I am. The map on the pokégear is showing Kanto, but it isn't saying where I am and I don't recognize this route. Something's weird though. Even though I'm only walking in a straight line I keep suddenly appearing at the place on the route that I first woke up at. The Pokémon who were with me aren't here anymore either. I only have Combee, Solrock, and Yamask with me now, and the pokéballs for the others aren't in my bag.

I've woken up in places that I've never been before twice while I've been here, but this is the first time that it's happened more than once at a time. Does anyone know how to stop this so I can go somewhere else?

...There's also a skeleton that looks kind of like a big praying mantis following me. I think it's a Pokémon, but I can't use the pokédex on the gear for some reason so I can't check. I tried talking to it, but when I did it felt like I hit my head on something and I woke up with a really bad headache. Does anyone know what kind of Pokémon it is?

[Someone's in a good mood after 4th wall.]

This wasn't where I went to sleep, and the sun rose in a different place this morning. Did this happen to anyone else? I think that this is like what happened before where everyone was asleep for three days, but waking up here is a lot better than waking up in Goldenrod City. You can buy fish here, for one thing, and I can tell that it's actually meat from a fish, not like the other meat you can get from the stores where I can't find out anything about the animal it came from. [He's going to buy so much fish. He'll dry it or keep it in the PC or something, but it's not mystery meat!

He turns the camera to show the outside of the berry orchard in Pallet Town, with the glass roofs of the hothouses being the main things visible.]

This place grows all kinds of berries that I haven't seen anywhere else. Apparently most of the plants need to grow in warmer places so these special buildings keep them at the right temperature all the time. It makes me wonder if I could make a smaller one somewhere else. I asked the people here how it worked and it doesn't sound very complicated to do.

[He moves the camera to show a forest green canvas tarp spread out on the grass, with at least one of every kind of berry the orchard grows sitting on it, and his bag next to it, overflowing with even more berries. You know that "small fee" that the orchard charges for an hour of picking berries? Apollo's obviously paid that fee several times and has been picking berries all day. Almost all of his Pokémon are gathered around the tarp, apparently doing a taste test of all the different berries. He's got a larger-than-average Fearow, a Furret, a Sentret, a Sawsbuck, a much larger-than-average Golurk, a Combee, a Vespiquen, a Growlithe, and... a Zangoose? Yes, it seems he has somehow ended up with a new addition to his team, who's eating a Spelon Berry around the twig it's holding in its mouth.]

Zangoose was with me when I woke up. I don't remember her asking to come with me even though she does, but I remember riding with her and a bunch of other Zangoose on the back of a bird Pokémon called Ho-Oh and the Zangoose jumping off of Ho-Oh to attack Cobra Commander and the humans who were with him, but I don't remember what happened after that. I also remember walking through a forest and being able to talk to the trees again, and something about some ruins filled with Pokémon who looked like letters. There are some other things that I can remember that don't make sense, but I don't understand what most of them mean.

[As Apollo's finishing the last part, a Solrock floats past the camera silently. And upside-down. After a moment the camera moves to follow it, now right side up, as it floats around.]

I don't remember meeting Solrock before though, and it doesn't remember meeting me or going into a Poké Ball. It doesn't mind being with me, but it feels strange for neither of us to remember it deciding to come along.

[He turns the camera back to focus on himself.]

Did anyone else have something like this happen to them?

[Apollo's on the rooftop of the Goldenrod Department Store, looking down on the square from on top of the elevators. He is not happy.]

Who moved me here while I was sleeping? Where is this anyway? And why is the sun rising in a different place? I can't have slept for over a day!
