[Apollo doesn't fully understand why people make badge posts, but his team is resting after the battle so he might as well, right? He definitely needs to do something to calm down after spending the entire battle worrying about his team's safety. Plus there's something he wants to check on.

So the video opens with a shot of Fearow, Furret, and Sawsbuck resting in the Ecruteak park. In the background you may catch glimpses of Combee gathering nectar from some flowers and Vespiquen hovering nearby. After a moment of this the camera whips around to show the Fog Badge and Strength HM he won in his hand, then moves to show his face. He looks like he's doing better since the last badge post he made.]

It took two tries, but they managed to beat the Ecruteak City Gym. The Pokémon there have some really strong moves, especially the one that makes other Pokémon faint after a while. I almost couldn't call Fearow back in time, but I kept them all from fainting, so it worked out.

They want to try to beat another gym so I was thinking we would go to the one in Olivine since it gives two HMs. I was wondering though, how much longer will it be until the first snows come? It feels like I'll have time, but I want to make sure.

[Apollo comes on with red eyes instead of his normal gold and hair that would be best described as a "mane" kept off of his face with a white headband, the extra length almost lost in the hair on the right side of his head. He rubs his forehead with one hand as he passes the gear to Sentret, trying to ignore his headache. Sentret backs up to show Apollo without his cloak or shirt, revealing that under all that loose clothing he's very skinny, to the point where you can see his ribs. It's not a "malnourished" skinny but a "not an ounce of fat on his body" skinny. Ask about the Apollo diet and exercise plan and you too could have this body!

Of course, based on the other posts that have been going around, Apollo's physique isn't what we're here for, but rather the small red splotches scattered across his torso. There are more marks unseen under his wrist wraps and pants, but overall it looks like he got off easy, so why is he posting... oh. The camera moves to show his back, where the same spikes on Entei's back appear to have started to force their way through his skin in two lines between his shoulder blades, large patches of red spreading out from the tiny nubs that have made their way up so far. It looks very, very painful, and he fails to completely hide the pain in his voice when he speaks.]

My back was starting to hurt when I went to sleep last night, but there were just the red patches then. When I woke up my hair had grown and there were bumps on my back, and a few minutes ago these things came through my skin. Is there anything I can use to get these to go away? [Yeah, he hasn't looked at the gear for the past week. He rubs his forehead again.] If there's a willow tree-Aaah!

[And at that moment his level 2 fire powers activate, releasing all of the energy that had been building up with no outlet at once in the form of a pair of flaming angelic wings from the nubs on his back. The camera spins wildly through the air as his Pokémon leap for cover, Deerling and Combee fleeing the area as fast as they can. The gear hits the ground and the feed cuts out.]
