[The charred branches of the Scorched Forest are visible behind Feliks, who's sitting down on a fallen tree trunk next to a large Houndoom.]

I was just thinking... It was probably like, about two years ago, right? When the gates opened up, I mean.

[His smile, briefly, is a little less boisterous than usual.]

I kind of spent forever thinking about getting out of the walls, and wondering what it would be like, and stuff like that, and now it kinda feels like it's been like this forever, a little?

This is where I came the first time I went out of Union! It's where I met Emilia... She's the first Pokemon I bonded with outside of the city!

[He ruffles the Houndoom's fur, and get only a brief growl of irritation in return, so she's not actually that irritated.]

I... I met Fai here, too, that day. So it might not look like much, but it's totally a special place.

A lot of stuff has changed since then, but it's been way exciting, hasn't it? So I'm totally excited to see what happens this year, too. I hope I can meet even more rad Pokemon, and find even more friends!

What about you, Union? Like, what are you happy about from the last couple of years? What are you excited about right now? Tell me all about it, I wanna hear!

Sounds fair. I totally wouldn't have stuck around for much of that!

Well I did put up with what I could. Because they did need my help. But I'm Enlightened. So wasting the gift felt...wrong.

Helping people's good and stuff, but like, you can't let what someone else wants keep you from being you! Especially if you've got a cool talent to get out there and use.

Well, that's why I did, y'know, take my own path. I help out sometimes, but less lately.

It was a pretty big change, but since then I've found a lot out about myself and the world around me. I've even managed to find a special someone.
