[That was disappointing. With the channel left open as it were, Apollo's disappointment came through, though it certainly wasn't disappointment at the Hippopotas, but rather disappointment that success in the search hadn't come so quickly.
But the search for iron ore wasn't the only thing on his mind. He'd never seen a Pokémon like this before, which meant that there was a good chance that others hadn't either. It didn't seem to mind his presence and was willing to help him; maybe it would be interested in meeting more humans?
Apollo projects images of Union, the habitat tower, humans and Pokémon working alongside each other, all kinds of peaceful scenes from daily life, but also some not-so-peaceful scenes, scenes of him and the other Rangers in their duties protecting the city and its inhabitants, of trying desperately to convince hostile Pokémon that the humans weren't a threat. The overall collection of images is of course tinged by Apollo's perceptions and is a bit more hopeful than the reality, but he makes an effort to be as honest and open as he can, so that the Hippopotas will be able to answer the question that follows.
Would the Hippopotas be interested in coming with him and meeting the humans and Pokémon who live in Union? Apollo's sure that there would be plenty of people who would be interested in meeting the Hippopotas, too. And of course, if it turned out not to like the city, Apollo would escort it back to the canyon and not disturb it again if it asked. What did it think of that?]
