Ash: Hello there, boy his kid’s age who knows a lot about about Pokémon and not a lot about technology! Ash likes talking with him, both for the sake of talking and because some of that info’s really useful. Though he’s learned to ignore that part about the mystery meat by now, lucky him. ...He was also a little disappointed when he figured out that their second discussion was Yamask-induced, because he has a soft spot for people who want to change the system.

Cecil: Someone else who doesn’t get how the Pokémon population can sustain itself! Yay! As someone who likes to overthink their situation but is better with the societal part of it, he greatly admires the knowledge of nature Apollo has shown. He’d be quite happy to talk to him again, unless it’s under particularly bad circumstances.
