Be it grass, fruit, or beasts, whatever you eat, you have to live its part.

[The video opens on a cluster of eggs under a tree in Mahogany Town:



Apollo's Fearow and Shiny Archeops stand proudly over the Archen eggs, his Furret is curled up with the Sentret eggs, his Zangoose stands behind the Zangoose eggs with her arms crossed, chewing on a twig, and Firaga the Growlithe... starts off sitting behind the Growlithe eggs wagging his tail, but soon runs around Furret and the Sentret eggs, then over to Zangoose and the Zangoose eggs, then back to Furret, then back to the Growlithe eggs... He's super excited at all the kids he has now, okay?]

Fearow, Archeops, Furret, Firaga, and Zangoose all had eggs. [Well Fearow and Firaga didn't actually do the laying but you know what he means.] They're all okay with other people raising their children, as long as they're taken good care of. If anyone wants to look after one, I can send the eggs to any Pokémon Center from here, so if you're traveling the egg can be waiting for you at the next town.

[What else... oh, right.]

I've heard that depending on what moves the parents know the children might be born knowing some of them. I don't know what all of the moves these children will be born with are, but I know some of them. [He focuses the camera on each group of eggs as he talks about them.] The Archen will be born knowing Quick Attack, Leer, and Wing Attack. Fearow likes to fight and Archeops is very aggressive and territorial, so their children might be the same. [He's warned you. You can't complain to him later if you end up with a vicious fossil bird like he did.] The Sentret will be born knowing Scratch, Foresight, and Flamethrower. [Yes, he did just say that he has fire-breathing squirrels available.] The Growlithe will be born knowing Bite and Roar. And the Zangoose will be born knowing Scratch and Leer. If any of them are born knowing any other moves, could you tell me?

[The Archen have all been claimed, but there are still some of the others left!]

[The feed comes on to show Apollo's Fearow, caught in his last second of preening before seeing that the camera's on and puffing himself up to look even larger and more awesome than usual. He's looking pretty proud of himself right now and decides to announce his pride for those who are merely in earshot of their PokéGear and not actually looking at him.]

Feeeeeeaaaaaar!

[To Pokémon it's a cry of triumph. To everyone else it's a sound like the screams of the damned in Hell. Hope you weren't planning on falling asleep anytime soon.

Apollo appears from behind the camera, apparently having propped it up on something, and stands next to Fearow with a smile on his face. With him for scale it becomes clear that his Fearow is significantly larger than average.]

Fearow wants everyone to know that he reached level 100 today, and that he reached it before all of the other Pokémon who are with me, [Apollo's smile falters for a moment and he side eyes Fearow until he finishes relaying the message.] especially Firaga.

[The reference to something that's meaningless to 100% of the viewers over with, Apollo returns to smiling.]

They explained it to me, but it seems strange that a Pokémon can't reach a level higher than 100. There are more numbers past 100. It sounds like they stop getting stronger as easily once they've reached level 100 too. Everything about levels seems kind of strange, but this is the strangest part that I know about. Is there anything else strange that happens when a Pokémon reaches level 100?

[There're a series of screams and cries from off-camera, sounding garbled to any Pokémon listening. "Hunt! Now!" is about all that can be gleaned from it. Apollo's smile loses a bit of its strength as he looks over at the source of the cries. Fearow, on the other hand, stops looking as proud as before and starts looking more like a teenager whose secret crush has just walked in. Which is exactly what's happened, as Apollo's shiny Archen makes her entrance from off-camera. Fearow hops after her with a happy "Okay!" and the two of them leave the camera's field of view, leaving Apollo standing alone in a forest watching them go. He looks back to the camera, but if he had anything else to say he's forgotten it, so he shrugs slightly and walks over to the camera to end the feed.]

[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?

[The video comes on and immediately begins spinning around wildly, eventually coming to rest slightly crooked with a thin root visible in the corner of the image. The first clear thing that can be seen is Apollo, apparently having jumped down from somewhere, punching Cobra Commander in the face as part of his landing, after which this music starts to play.

As Apollo's team begins to regroup for healing and all level up at once, the camera shakes and a paw covers the lens. There's a glimpse of Apollo's Furret, the source of those Grass Knots that Cobra fell victim to, and then the feed ends.

Apollo: 1. Cobra: 0.

Responses will be ICly delayed until Apollo's finished making sure his team is healed up.]

[The feed comes on to show a full-body view of Apollo, which doesn't really say much, since his green cloak covers everything except his head, bare feet, and his right arm holding a pokéball. The camera wobbles a bit, since this is Sentret's first time as cameramon.]

John, I thought you would want to know that the egg I got from you hatched. Is it normal for Pokémon to hatch bigger than the egg? I don't understand how it could have fit inside.

[He opens the pokéball to release a Golett. A Golett that's significantly larger than usual, at about 4'9". This also shows that Apollo himself is fairly short, at 5 feet and a few inches at best. The Golett glances around, spies the Sentret and the Deerling behind the camera, and proceeds to try and hide behind Apollo. After a moment of this it realizes how badly it's failing at remaining unseen and it reaches around Apollo to grab onto the pokéball and return inside. Apollo linefaces slightly. He hates keeping his Pokémon in their balls, but Golett won't stay out for long.]

It's really shy.

[He lowers his arm and the edge of his cloak slips down and covers it again. He glances up at the sky.]

The other thing I was going to say is that Spearow "evolved" today. [Apollo is suddenly in shadow.] He looks like he would be big enough to carry me, but when I tried he couldn't get off the ground. I know you need the "Surf" HM if you want to ride a Pokémon over the water. Is there one that lets you ride them in the air?

[The camera wobbles as a strong wind comes from above, and the cameramon points it up at the source of the wind. Remember that larger than average Spearow Apollo had? It turned into a much larger than average Fearow that is now coming in for a landing.]

FEEEEAAAAR!

[Comparing that cry to the screams of the damned in Hell wouldn't be far off. I hope you weren't planning on sleeping tonight.]
