[The area around Snake is dark, but the pokègear emits enough light that some trees can be seen behind him.
He stares into the screen while his Ekans wraps himself around Snake's shoulders. Finally he speaks in a voice that seems sweet, but has a hint of poison to it:]
We seem to be lost in Ilex Forest. Last time we passed through here with no trouble, but I tried to find a short-cut through the trees, says John. [As he adds on "says John" he uses a different voice. His own for any who could pick up the slight difference in ease that he has between the voices.]
[Snake pursed his lips and sighs at the camera before ending his message. He really didn't want to admit that he got lost, but lost he was. Attempting to stand on his onix's head and look above the trees just got him smashed into a lot of branches and riled up a bunch of bird pokèmon.]

[Snake looks at the device curiously. He still isn’t used to the idea of it, but he’d already learned that it was useful for interacting with people. He had been here long enough to learn a few things already, but this whole world was still new and interesting, and his pokèmon were starting to get more and more curious about other people's pokemon. He was worried how people would react to him still, but with an Ekans draped around his shoulders and a Seviper protectively coiled around him he felt a great deal more confidant.
It still takes him a while to decide what to say, and he listens carefully to each of his pokemon before finally saying something.]
Why do people have pokemon battles? Do other pokemon really like battles? asks Ruskin.
[He might not have said it yet, but the Seviper’s nickname was Ruskin. He wasn’t planning on giving any further explanation about his speaking habits, or who he is either, at least not until he is asked. He was always a little vague with whether he was just translating, or if he was expressing his own thoughts using the names of his friends to hide how shy he was.]
