[At the first glimpse of the Tyrantrum, Deerling dives behind a nearby boulder, not even willing to peek out. Hippopotas stops in his tracks, unsure what to do, and even Fletchling starts digging his talons into Apollo's shoulder. Apollo himself simply starts looking more serious as he sizes the Tyrantrum up. Knowing more about what's going on both simplifies things and brings the level of danger into harsh focus.]
We have to try. They might attack us if we try to get close to that machine unless they understand that we're here to help.
[Without waiting for what he assumes will be agreement from the others, Apollo shifts his mental focus. The minds of the Pokémon outside of the cavern the group's in vanish from his awareness as he reduces the range he's reading from. His connections with his own Pokémon recede into the background, and he focuses his mind on the Tyrantrum.
Calmness. Reassurance that help is here. A promise that everything will be done to stop its pain. Apollo "yells" everything he can think of that might get the Tyrantrum to calm down into its mind, opening himself to it and letting his own feelings flow through the link alongside his "words", trying to prove his sincerity by showing it to the Tyrantrum without reservation. Since he isn't hiding anything, the fact that he's willing to fight the Tyrantrum if he has to to ensure the safety of Union is sent as well, as is the fact that he really doesn't want any more people to get hurt over this if at all possible.]
