Sixth Flight. [video/action for otherhome.]

[newberktown]

[Adder had never got to really play with a pokegear before. When her old trainer hadn't been ooh-ing and ahh-ing over it, he had just been plain territorial. Hiccup had also been fascinated by the device, but after seeing the blue dragon eying it from afar, he had handed it over. Plenty of pokemon seemed to use the things, anyway.

So there the Bagon was, carefully pushing buttons and flipping it over in her little hands until the video function turns on and she starts exploring. Time to show everyone their new home!

Anyone who's been to the Other House should recognize it during Adder's (admittedly clumsy) tour. Just as it starts to get mind-numbingly boring... What's this?

Adder turns to show an oddly-angled view of Hiccup being dragged away by a Dratini by the neck.]

Midg--ack! I need that to breathe!

[...Well that was weird. The Bagon plods along after them.]

What are you-- ...Oh. Fish...

[The Magikarp is laying in the garden and looking very...still. Midgardsormr croons sadly as the viking kneels down to investigate.

His concern is rewarded by Fish suddenly flipping upwards and slapping him in the face. Before trying to...flop away.]

Ow! Fish, hey! Get back here!

[Oh... He'd heard about evolution, and had seen how it changes pokemon.]

I...hadn't thought of that.

[Blehhh.]

Looks like I'll have to just rehabilitate him faster... Do you know when he'll evolve?

[licentious]

From what I've heard, he evolves at level twenty. Have you ever thought about seeing a pokemon nurse for this? [ She wishes you luck, Hiccup. She senses that it'll be a very uphill battle. ]

[newberktown]

[Level twenty... So Hiccup was about halfway there.]

Not...really. I thought they might make me explain why he's like this, and I don't know if they'd really understand that his previous trainer wasn't human...

I've mostly just been trying to get him to play with my other water types?

[licentious]

While they aren't aware of the new visitors, they are aware that other life forms have become pokemon trainers previously. Perhaps you should ask the network. I know some people that could double as pokemon psychiatrists.

[ She nods and smiles. ]

That's good. But, he'd be best to see a professional.

[newberktown]

Alright, I'll keep that in mind... Thanks for all your help. Really.

[licentious]

It's no problem. You're worth the effort. [ Although she means this in a slightly different way... ]

[newberktown]

[...Wait, what? Hiccup may be feeling a bit dumbfounded by her words, but the tips of his ears are turning a warm pink at them.]

Dwuh?

[Very eloquent, good sir. He clears his throat, because uhmn duh, that's not how she means it.]

I mean, uhmn. How so?

[licentious]

You seem like a nice kid with tons of potential. [ Thank god she's not pinocchio right now. She can't just say he seems like a decent human to use and trick! ] Your ability to look after your pokemon should make you a really strong trainer. [ After this conversation, Lust is going to brush her teeth with a bottle of jack. Maybe it might get the taste of lying out of it. ]

[newberktown]

[Well, even if it's a lie it sure is giving Hiccup's self-image a boost. He still wasn't used to this whole receiving compliments thing.]

Thanks! I mean, I know I still have a long way to go, but... I have been trying hard.

[licentious]

[ Lust is going at ego boosting. It's one of her hobbies. Deflating them is the other hobby. ]

I wouldn't say it's that long. It'll be over before you know it.
