Comic done with black lines, and coloured in shades of dusty pink. Panel one, an interviewer at a table with Daven on the other side.

He’s saying “I grew up in Unova and when I was younger there were a lot of times I couldn’t travel because I couldn’t train Pokemon.

I’m particularly interested in Sunshine Rides because they people most in need of ride Pokemon may be the least able.” Panel three, zoom out to see Daven front on with his hands in his lap, he’s smiling with his eyes closed and two little sweat drops on his cheek. The interviewer says “Excellent! I love your enthusiasm.” from off screen. Behind Daven looms the logo of Sunshine Rides that looks suspiciously like Darumaka.
