Fifteenth Flight. [video/action for Saffron City.]

[newberktown]

[Hey, Pokemon World. Did you miss vikings being derpy? Well, never fear! Here's Hiccup, grinning like a fool and looking way too excited as he backs up from where he's set his 'gear.]

Alright. So, everyone? Feel free to start calling me Bastian. [His smile somehow widens even more as he reaches down and lifts his newest team member, draping her over his shoulders and giving her a little scritch behind the fins.] I just got myself my very own luckdratini.

[The Dratini--an unusual purple-tinted pink--studies the 'gear with a twinkle in her eye. Well, really there's a twinkle everywhere else, too. Yep, like so many pokemon showing up on the network, this baby's a shiny.]

I'm going out to show Falkor the city, okay?

[Someone's been reading The Neverending Story lately...]

[Temeraire looks visibly pleased at the compliment, but also a tiny bit confused.]

Well, the shape of my mouth was troublesome at first, but it was designed to speak like this and I learned very quickly. But I have always been able to speak...was it not the same for Toothless?

Huh... No--not this language, at least. Just animal sounds, sort of like pokemon. He did learn how to say a few words, though, like 'fish' and 'kitty', and he could understand most of what people said.

[divinewind]

Oh, I see. You must have gotten on very well, to be such good friends without speaking the same language.

[He makes his slightly-off, but still genuine, smile again.]

My name is Temeraire.

It took a while, that's for sure... But it was worth it.

[Even if 'baaawh, what if he didn't understand his dragon as much as he thought'. Dumb canon point.]

Nice to meet you, Temeraire! And despite what I said earlier, my name's Hiccup, not Bastian.

[He is just a dork.]
