newberktown | Ninth Flight. [mid-day video/action for goldenrod city.]

[Anyone familiar with the gym in Goldenrod will know what's up. Because that sure is wailing going on in the background.

...Oddly enough, though, there are also the sounds of:
1 Charmander snoring,
1 Swablu chirping, and
1 tiny viking arguing with a giant dragon.]

What do you mean you can fly?

[Sorry, Whitney, but your blubbering is being ignored in favor of dealing with the most exasperated Salamence ever. This was so much more important than badges.]

Yeah, okay, I get that you can 'fly' fly, but you're telling me that you have the ability to use the move Fly. As in 'carry me through the skies' Fly. Why didn't you tell me?

[Adder huffs noisily before flapping her wings to shoot a hard gust of air at him. HICCUP, SHE'S BEEN TRYING TO DO THAT FOR TWO WEEKS. You've just been focusing on ~alternative flight methods~ with Carmen Sandiego. Really, though, she wouldn't be annoyed if you weren't making such a big deal out of it. Just be happy already.]

Yeah, yeah... [Hiccup sighs, apparently giving in for now, before wandering over to slide the gear out from under the drowsy Charmander's claws.] Just would have been nice to know... Wait. Stormfly, didn't you just turn this off?

[...So it wasn't the battle he wanted recorded that was broadcast. Great.]

[ooc: cr is welcome to have witnessed the battle! curious people studying up for whitney's gym are also welcome.]

Yeah, Salamence learns Fly on its own. My friend has one. Pretty cool, right?

I think it might be the only Pokémon that does that. It's the only one I've ever heard of, anyway.

[sob, does everyone know this but him...?]

I didn't think it was possible, even with the legend about it...

[ Sorry, Hiccup. Here, this might help: ]

Legend? What legend?

[He knows something Miyuki doesn't? Thank you, Carmen Sandiego.]

It's said that they're dragons who yearn to fly so much that they grow wings through their evolution because of it.

[ Damn you, Carmen Sandiego! /fistshake ]

Huh. That's pretty cool, I guess. Like Charizards.

[...The legend isn't about Charizards, though. BT]

I guess there aren't really that many dragons that start off with wings... Not that I've seen, anyway. Back home, all dragons had wings.

[Johto, why are you weird.]

[ Fight Mi, Hiccup. >| ]

You had real dragons back home? Were they huge?

[ Welp. Now you've got her attention. ]

[Hush and respect your elders, whippersnapper.]

They came in all sizes. Some are as tiny as a Rattata, but most of them were pretty big. Much bigger than houses, sometimes.

[ What are you, my grandma? ]

Sweet! Did they, like, breathe fire and destroy villages and stuff?

[ Because that's what all the cool dragons do. ]

[Yes. 8|]

Er... Breath fire, definitely. But they don't destroy villages anymore. The dragons and vikings are on good terms, now.

[ No wonder you're so slow. :| ]

Like, living in harmony or whatever? That's so cool! Do you get pet dragons? Do you ride on them everywhere?
