[voice] Into the great laugh of mankind
I have wondered for some time...
[A pause as the speaker rethinks his approach to the topic, then starts again.]
...It is generally accepted that humans are a separate kind of being from Pokemon. It is not something that is usually thought about, but I cannot help but wonder if this is the truth of the matter.
All life that we are aware of that have minds of their own are Pokemon, save humans. Why is this, if it is true? Why are those we call Enlightened able to gain abilities as Pokemon do, or even become both Human and Pokemon at will in the case of Shifters. Why can some speak as Pokemon do when most humans cannot?
Perhaps... Perhaps Humanity was punished not solely for its abuse of Pokemon in the past, but in part because in its arrogance the people of bygone times forgot that humans and Pokemon are one and the same...?
[Another moment of hesitation.]
...But perhaps I am incorrect. Still, I believe it is a thought at least worth consideration.

Couldn't you see our similarities just by watching Pokémon?
[Considering that Apollo's been able to understand Pokémon his entire life and has been in the company of Pokémon for almost all of that time his assumptions about how much interaction other people have with Pokémon may be a little unrealistic.]

[At least that's the impression he's gotten from occasionally reading people's minds, in between the useless information and the things he really would rather have gone the rest of his life without knowing. ...There is a reason he tends to prefer the company of Pokemon.]
