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

[newberktown]

[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.]

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.
