Snake

[Snake is sitting with his shiny Feebas on his lap and a servine sitting next to him, looking pleased as punch. Snake starts out with a rather proud and refined voice as he translates for the servine, Thomas.]

I evolved last night! I wanted to wait until people were awake to announce my progress! I'm going to be the strongest pokèmon in the world! says Thomas.

[Snake says it with a straight back and raised chin, mimicking all but Thomas's folded leafy hands. They relax and look to the feebas at the same time.]

Does anyone out there know much about beauty? Letitia wants to learn how to be more beautiful. She says she doesn't like when people call her ugly, so we thought we should help somehow, says Thomas.

[And the purple fish isn't exactly a pretty sight. It seriously seems like more makeup might just make the fish look worse. Even Snake is dubious, but more of because it seems odd to put makeup on a pokèmon.]

We give up, says John.

[Snake is on the screen with his pokèmon, making fitting into the frame a bit tight.]

Traveling on foot takes a long time, especially when you are traveling a lot. We don't want to keep borrowing Joker's Zebstrika. Does anyone have suggestions on where to get a pokèmon good for travel, says Gaskell?

Though we were hoping to keep our party to being only snakes, says John.

[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.]
