55th Transformation [video/text/action for Violet]

[exeggutorhead]

[The feed comes on to show the face of a very nervous and harried looking Yamask, holding the 'Gear and looking over his "shoulder". From somewhere offscreen, there's a whole lot of impatient-sounding hissing. Which, for any Pokemon listening in, would translate as:]

Come on, hurry it up!

[The Yamask flinches a little and turns the camera away from himself to show an Arbok and a Serperior, coiled side by side and each looking as impressively cool and collected as they can manage. And decidedly not looking at each other. The Serperior is a shiny, and that gives him an impressive glittering gleam from his tail to his smugly turned up nose. And the Arbok, while not shiny herself, still has every purple scale polished and almost gleaming, and her hood flared out as much as she can get it. The camera lingers on the two of them while they pose and sway to catch the sun on their scales just right. After a little while of this, the Arbok nods curtly and the video swings back around to the Yamask, who fumbles it some before cutting off so that he can send out a text message.]

Hello, my friends here had a question for any trainers who would like to answer. Which of them looks the best?

[And so they bullied this poor guy into doing the camera-work and writing the message for them. If anyone in Violet stumbles across the trio of Pokemon on the outskirts of town, they'll find the two big snakes hissing arguments between themselves and crowding around the Yamask so they can see the answers.]

I've never seen the green one before. Kind of looks like something on a grandma's shelf if grandmas collected snakes.

_{[That's not what they asked, Henry.]}

[Edmund is going to...tactfully not mention the part about Aristaeos looking like he belongs on a grandma's shelf. He'll just quietly think it's really funny to himself.]

He says he's not surprised you haven't, because he's a very rare kind of Pokemon.

[exeggutorhead]

That's right. And it's much easier to write than it is to try and learn to speak human.

What is english?

[He just went ahead and told Ouroboros that Henry voted for her. He likes her better anyway.]

oh! thats the language the humans from where i'm from speak...and it sounds like what everyone else here speaks too. But it might just be the way this place works.

its weird

i mean when you guys talk it just sounds like oddish oddish oddish over and over.

It does sound like that to humans, but it's all perfectly understandable to us!

What is the region you're from called? It starts with 'Eng' I assume, and...there aren't any Pokemon there?
