[Today's feed opens to a slightly shaky image of the trees of Illex forest, courtesy of little Alto holding up Demyx's gear. The scene pans out a bit as they walk down the path they're currently taking. Demyx sighs, the camera looks down at him crossing his arms before the blond speaks up.]

Yeah, I'm okay. It was easier when we had the big guy toting us around.

[He looks up and meets the camera lens. Then stares at it for a few moments with a flat expression.]

You're filming me.

[The camera shakes up an down.]

I'm not supposed to talk to you while we're filming, Alto, you know that. People will think I'm nuts or something if I try to explain it...apparently. It doesn't make sense to me, either. Anyway, we need to get to Azalea to pick up Lea soon so...cut the feed and hand me the gear so I can look at the map again.

[A pause, the gear turns around to an up-close view of a Ralts, then shifts down and flips back to Demyx's face.]

Lea, we're almost back. Make sure you've got everything packed so we can hit the trail quick-like, okay?

You can talk to them too?

Nope, just Alto. Little guy's a telepath, so he's the one doin' all the talking.

Oh, he's a Psychic-type.

[He sounds disappointed. He was hoping to meet another psychic.]

Er...yeah, he's a psychic. You alright?

Yeah. I just thought that you could talk to Pokémon that aren't Psychic-types too. I've only talked to one other person here who could.

Nah, not me. I'm just an ordinary human.

[Well, now at least.]

So some folks have the ability to talk with them, too? Man, that's wild.

Just me and another person here.

It's normal for me.

You must be a pretty special person, then. I don't know of anyone who could do things like that, either.

Grandpa could talk to animals too. I always thought everyone could before I came here.

Really? You had an interesting family, then. Nice to meet you, by the way. I'm Demyx. Hehe... I guess it's a little late, but an introduction is an introduction, y'know?

It was only ever me and Grandpa.

I'm Apollo.
