[Have you ever seen a giant plant swinging from the ceiling, Route? Well, if not, you have now. Hiccup's got a new baby in the family, and she's got her vines wrapped around the hotel fan--something that's been running at full blast the past few days, and continues to now despite its passenger. For anyone not familiar with a Carnivine's laughter, her raspy 'roars' probably don't quite indicate the fun she's having. He keeps the camera on the pokemon, happily spinning around and around, as he speaks.]

Anyone know how to get her to stop doing this? Without turning off the fan?

[He needs the fan, guys. Even with a surprise actual igloo at the start of the weekend, Hiccup sounds drained and irritable from the weather.]

She just keeps going up whenever I start it again anyway...

Current Location: Blackthorn City; Inn.

[Among the background bustle--familiar sounds for anyone who's set foot in a Pokemon Center--there's a small whine from an Eevee, almost like a prompt for Hiccup to speak. After another second or so, he does.]

Uh... Has anyone ever, uhmm. [There's another pause. How should he put this...] Lost...half their pokemon? [He clears his throat before continuing, quicker this time like an excuse.] I still have all their pokeballs, and those are registered to all of them still, according to the people at the Center. But I can't find them anywhere...

[Hiccup sighs, and there's a subtle clunk as he moves his hand to the 'gear to shut it off. Before he does, though, there's one last mumble.]

I can't believe this is happening again...

Current Location: Blackthorn City.

[Borrowing Carmen's Slugma to hatch the eggs faster had seemed like a brilliant idea at the time. Then, he reasoned, he shouldn't have to lug any of them around by the time they all left the city to go off exploring again. Genius!

Not so much.

See, Hiccup hadn't exactly realized just how soon Ringo would make the little bundles of joy kick off their shells to greet the sunshine, and the resulting five new babies is proving to be a little much for this unsuspecting noodle-viking.]

Kite, please come down from th-- Night Fury, no!

[A tiny purple feline makes a leap, sights set on the Starly perched high on a shelf. It seems his stringy kitten limbs aren't quite enough for this task, though, and the crash not only startles the bird off, but sends several items in every direction.

The mess on the floor suggests this isn't the first time it's happened.

Hiccup moves to set down the brown and white bundle he'd been cradling so he can sort out this new altercation, and finds that he instantly regrets it. The Cubone, previously somehow able to sleep through the wreckage, stirs with a wail shrill enough to drown out all his other concerns.]

No, Val, it's okay! I'm right here, see? Oh man, this was my greatest idea yet. Wow. [Once again, the Cubone is scooped up, and Hiccup takes a headcount over her crying to make sure the hyperactive hatchlings haven't knocked themselves out.] Okay, here's Val, Laila's got Kite, Night Fury's there, Key's eating Dinkfin's food, oh joy. Where's--

[And then his eyes land on the 'gear.]

Atom, what are you doing? Get out of--

[The video abruptly cuts off to be replaced by a text to the network.]

NOT ADAM ! EVE !
HEE HEE

[...Hiccup's going to be a little tied up, so feel free to talk to the newborn Rotom, Atom--er, Eve--in the meantime!]

Current Location: Goldenrod City; Inn.

▒▒or Almighty... Where d▒▒ ▒▒is storm come from all of ▒ ▒udden...?

[That sure is a familiar voice to some people in Johto, even as distorted as it is...

The speaker pauses, unsure not only of the weather, but the strength of his network connection as well. After gathering a breath, he continues on with the reason he started this recording in the first place.]

Er, hey guys? H▒▒▒▒ang stole my leg and took off a ▒▒▒▒▒ ago.

[There's another pause as a loud crack of thunder rolls by, followed by a bout of static.]

▒ ▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒ink anyone should be outside, but if you can keep an eye out for ▒ ▒▒owlithe carrying something that looks like a foot, I'd appre▒▒▒▒▒ it. I thought h▒▒ ▒ome back, since it's raining, but I hav▒▒▒ seen him...

[Hiccup's face appears briefly as the feed freaks out one last time, looking just as it had three weeks ago when he had vanished without a trace. There's concern there over his current predicament, but he doesn't seem to be aware of his time away from Johto.]

Thanks anyway... I'll be in my room here if anyone in Mahogany finds him.

[ooc note: HEY WHAT'S UP, I'M BACK! Tags might be slow yet for a little while! Also (maybe?) posted early because I don't know what I'll all be doing today.]

Current Location: Mahogany Town; Inn.

You did great, girl... It was my fault we lost.

[The Salamence doesn't seem satisfied with this, giving a disgruntled huff as she butts her head against Hiccup's outstretched hand. Neither are aware they're being shakily recorded. The cameramon, not taking kindly to being unnoticed, goes on to ignore them in turn, scanning the area just outside Mahogany's Center with the 'gear's video instead. A tired Noctowl is perched near an even more exhausted-looking Seadra, with a Chansey nearby to tend to them. The snow clinging to Laila's feathers is further proof of their defeat at the hands of Pryce.]

And even if we did lose, I can't believe you all held on so long! [He smiles at Adder, scratching under her chin as she croons.] I guess you've all gotten pretty strong.

[Their affection, even as subdued as it is by their loss, is enough to annoy the recording pokemon further. He had something important to tell them! The video becomes a blurred mess, punctuated by a yelp of pain before it settles onto a skewed view of the sky.]

Musphel! What-- [He leans over, sighs, and rolls his eyes.] ...Yes. Very good. You turned it on. Well d-- [Hiccup is interrupted by the Charmander's insistent growl. His sarcastic expression brightens instantly, and it's once again all sky as he moves out of frame.] It's hatching?

[Looking satisfied that his trainer will now be tending to the new dragon instead of expecting things from him, Musphel comes over and turns off the 'gear. Now he can nap in peace.]

[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.]

Current Location: Goldenrod City; Gym.

[Hiccup is awoken by the sensation of a beak through his hair. He blearily sits up, staring at the Noctowl in a long moment of incomprehension before speaking.]

Laila...? Mnwhat are you doing here?

[Maybe this was a wake-up call from Ziva. The viking drags himself up, tugging the thick, fur-trimmed boots on before plodding down the hall to the woman's room. Which was empty.]

That's strange...

[He heads back to his own room to call her on the gear, but finds that that doesn't exactly work. At all. Hiccup sinks onto the bed, hand settling against Laila's cheek as she hoots low and nuzzles closer.]

...Guess I'm on my own.

[When Hiccup starts the feed up, the Noctowl is still hanging around him. Only now, her chin is resting on top of the boy's head.]

Ziva David has gone home, too. I have Laila, but I haven't been able to find the rest of her team at all... I hope they're alright.

[He takes a deep breath. Time for more stepping out of his comfort zone.]

So what's a good job for a kid who's not so great with this modern technology stuff?

[So it wasn't very hard for Hiccup to notice that he was in a Completely Different Place. Being relatively new to Johto, this was a pretty jarring revelation for him--but he stopped questioning it long enough to realize that he was in the same place as Toothless, as well as the Night Fury's new friends.

Once he gets more used to this idea, he fiddles around with the pokegear until he gets it to a video feed. Even though he's outside, and as underdressed as he is, Hiccup doesn't really seem to be that bothered by the cold or the snow he's trudging through.]

Thanks to anyone who offered to pick me up for Ziva, but it's not needed, now. Not really sure how, but... I guess I'm in Goldenrod City.

[He looks away from the gear for a while, expression thoughtful.]

People have said this place is the most like back home for them. But it's really...strange. Is there anyone else who's not used to places like this?

[With that question, Hiccup ends the feed. For anyone in Goldenrod, he'll be wandering around, looking at the tall buildings, and getting lost!]

Current Location: Goldenrod City.

[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.]

Current Location: New Bark Town.

I looked into the eyes of a creature I'm meant to despise.
