First Flight. [video/action for new bark town.]

[For anyone browsing the network, they might notice a gangly, brown-haired teen flashing in and out of video. Technology this advanced might be foreign to Hiccup, but he's always been pretty good at working things out and soon enough he seems satisfied enough to keep it on video.

And is he wearing a dorky cape over his usual clothes? He is totally wearing a dorky cape.]

Uhh...

[Uncertain!]

Hello? I must be crazy... Uhmn, if anyone's listening, I could use a little help?

[A more thoughtful look as he goes back to fiddling with the device. A frown follows.]

New Bark Town? Hmn, I guess these guys don't know how to spell Berk... Why can't vikings see grammar is important, too?

[Hiccups gives the feed A Look before shutting it off.]

Ah... [Hiccup's eyes roll upwards a bit as he thinks.] Yeah, his mouth would have been a lot wider. And he has retractable teeth normally. I guess it would be pretty strange for him...

[He focuses back on Ziva, noticing her thoughtful expression.]

Uhmn... Is there a problem?

Mm? Oh, it is just that we are in Goldenrod City--it is quite a long way from New Bark Town.

...Oh.

[He had been thinking it would be simple. Hiccup's never gone too far from home, and his brain was still stuck on the Toothless that was able to zip through the sky, no problem.]

Well... I guess I should get going then, huh? If I want to get to this Goldenrod City place.

[Ziva tilts her head thoughtfully.]

Perhaps...you could ask if anyone would be willing to fly you here. Or Toothless to you, if you would rather. There are some interesting things to see along the way, though traveling this time of year means camping in the cold.

[He perks up a little.] So it's possible to fly in this place?

I guess...it would be up to Toothless? But really, I don't mind the cold too much.

It is. In fact, two of mine would be able to carry you, I think, if they knew the proper trick to do so. It is not so simple as just telling them, otherwise it would be easy.

Wait--Why wouldn't it be as simple as telling them?

I am not completely sure--it is just the way it works. For instance, I could tell my Laila to fly to you--it is carrying you back that would be the trick.

...That's weird. Unless it requires a saddle, or something...

And what does Laila look like? [Pause.] And, uh, how do I return this little guy to that ball thing? He's starting to shiver...

Just...hold it out to him and tell him to return.

[She thinks. She's not quite sure how that works yet, but it seems to do it for hers. As for Laila--Ziva pulls another Pokeball off her belt and releases the GIANT OWL. Who hoots contentedly and after a moment starts trying to preen Ziva's hair. It's always so messy. :|]

Many of my team is rather large, it gets quite crowded with all of them out at once.

[Well that seems simple enough. But he does feel a bit foolish as he tells the Horsea to return. To his surprise, though, it works like a charm! And he puts the pokeball back into the pack.

He studies Laila with wide eyes because that is a TRULY BIG OWL.] I...see. Uh, just how many of these thingies do you have, Ziva?

Seven, right now.

Hmn...

[Hiccup is now digging through his bag, finding the other five pokeballs and pushing each of the buttons. When he returns to the gear, he looks a tad disappointed.]

All my other capsule things are empty...

[Ziva nods.]

They start that way. You will encounter other Pokemon along the road, and have the chance to catch and train them, receive eggs that will hatch after a time, trade with others, or gain Pokemon when others leave this world.

Oh, I see.

Everyone keeps mentioning that I have to 'train' this Horsea thing and any other pokemon I get, but what does that mean, for them?

[Hiccup wrinkles his nose slightly.] I've trained with Toothless before, but that was all flight maneuvers. And it doesn't look like this thing can fly. And in dragon training, I was supposed to learn about weak points and such, but I more or less...used it to get to know dragons more. And tame them.

Getting to know and taming them seems to be a good place to start. These creatures--many of them, anyway--enjoy testing their abilities against others, and they get stronger each time they do so. Really, you can do anything you please, whether it be training or learning about their differences.

Really? [Hiccup looks surprised, but he's perked up a bit. If it's anything like befriending Toothless, this could maybe be something he's good at!] Well that actually sounds...neat.
