Seventeenth Flight. [Video/action for travel party.]

[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...

Sixteenth Flight. [audio/action for travel party.]

[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...

Fourteenth Flight. [text/action for Justice Farm.]

[Hiccup's trip had been pretty successful, all told. He hadn't had to spend the night in any woods, he'd repaid his friend for good deeds of the past, and he'd finally gotten to say a proper goodbye to the Other Father. Not to mention reunite an old pair, even if Ziva didn't necessarily remember her giant, nurturing owl. Needless to say, he's in a pretty good mood as he and Ziva make their way to the train station, and in sharing his good cheer, he purchases a nice, delicious-looking batch of cookies that he promptly forgets about. In fact, it isn't until they head down the street in the direction of Albert's home that he's reminded of it by the growling of his stomach, and Hiccup gets a few cookies in before disaster strikes.

A stomachache.

He arrives at the Justice Farm via Arcanine, Hookfang oddly compliant with his trainer out of sorts. Because now it isn't just any plain old stomachache. The dog is almost convinced that Hiccup is a fire-type himself, with that temperature! The boy is deposited onto the couch, where he curls up before sending out a quick text to the network--he's really not in any condition to filter it to the residents of the house.]

ziva too

[...Oh dear, that's not proper sentence structure at all. And a spelling error? Horrendous. Any replies to that attack on the Pokemon Common Language will be seen to after he's convinced he's not dying. Which, with how he feels, mind end up being a while.]

Thirteenth Flight. [video/action for Albert's Justice Farm.]

( [Action for Albert's completely invaded house.] )

[A while after the eggs are discovered and shared with the offending parties' trainers, Hiccup pops up on the network.]

So, uh... Looks like all that time my pokemon have seen me taking care of eggs finally caught up with me. Guess they dragged some others into it, too. [He pans the camera across the line of eggs, naming them as he goes.] Looks like we've got Hoothoot, Starly, Tirtouga, Growlithe, some Shellos, Sentret, Mareep, and a--YOWCH!

[The 'gear is dropped then, but the view remains on those last six eggs and the pink sheep still letting off sparks. In an unusual show of personality, Zippleback has decided she and Crackletail want to keep their eggs. And will zap anyone who tries to get rid of them.

...Other than those, there's plenty of them available, so go get them!]

Twelfth Flight. [video/text/action at goldenrod inn.]

[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!]

▒▒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.]

Tenth Flight. [video/action for Mahogany Town.]

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.]
