And one Sentret egg for Robin!

Glad to have accidentally helped! Yeah, Apollo can speak with plants and animals Pokémon, though only if he's close, since it's telepathy, which is why he needed Spearow to translate. I think. It's not clear what he's actually doing in canon. He could just be understanding animal calls really well, but since he has a line about a tree telling him stories and he later uses telekinesis, I figured "telepathy" was a reasonable explanation.
