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

[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.]

[The feed opens to show Apollo, around the side of the Azalea PokéCenter, his face a mixture of confusion, apprehension, and vague annoyance, which is mostly hidden by the other two emotions.]

I knew that some Pokémon came from eggs, but I didn't think that the mammals would too.

[He turns the camera to show a Sentret, a Deerling, and...



Sentret is sitting happily with the Sentret eggs and Deerling is standing casually over the Deerling eggs. Apollo's voice comes from behind the camera.]

I didn't think that different kinds of Pokémon could mate, either. They won't tell me how they did it. There's no way that one of those eggs could have fit inside Sentret without me noticing.

[Sentret and Deerling both blush slightly. Why is he talking about that in public? Him straight-out asking them about it was bad enough. Apollo turns the camera back to focus on himself.]

They said that Sentret and Deerling can survive on their own after hatching, but I think they would do better if someone took care of them while they're young. I'm not sure if I could look after all six though. [A very slight pause.] Does anyone want to look after one of them? Nurse Joy says that she can send them to other PokéCenters through the PCs if you aren't near Azalea. [His tone indicates that he has no idea what that actually means.

He ends the feed at that. He'd really prefer not to have to ask this question of other humans, but if he could find people to look after them the babies would be better off, as long as they would treat them properly. He had talked to a few humans who didn't seem like the humans back home. Maybe some of them would offer to take care of them.]
