[It's hard to tell exactly where Astrid is when she turns her gear on, but there are trees around, and her Axew is visible resting against one behind her, keeping watch over two pokemon eggs. (She hasn't really gotten the hang of keeping them in pokeballs yet, it seems...mean.) Her attention isn't on them though, she's looking at the screen almost thoughtfully.]

I've been trying to get the hang of all the...little things here, so I decided to try and catch one of the wild pokemon running around on the paths. Which worked, except...

[She turns her camera around to reveal a Sentret happily sitting on the ground in front of her, bouncing up and down on her tail as she watches Astrid.]

I just picked it because it was the first one I found. And now I've caught it and I'm...not really sure what to do with it.

I mean...[She turns the camera back to her.] There are dragons here. And fire breathing dogs, and electric vermin, and so many other powerful looking creatures...

[She turns the camera back to the Sentret, who seems quite happy to be the center of attention.]

Then there's her. ...She looks like something babies sleep with. Or something bigger, stronger animals like to eat.

Do people really train these?

Maybe...but I mean, size is kind of important. Sometimes. Or at least weapons. Fangs, claws...fire breath.

She just has a tail. A fuzzy tail.

[Astrid isn't very good at first impressions with her pokemon, sadly.]

She could disarm potential attackers with how innocent she looks? Because fuzzy is the last thing anybody expects to be badass. [His mouth quirks up in a smile, as Lillipup looks a bit offended.]

[Astrid looks kind of skeptical about the whole thing. Disarming an attacker with cuteness didn't really last long.]

Or she could just look tasty and get eaten.

[He's all for disarming attackers. Just... usually by chattering at them.]

Did you look at her moveset? She probably has some way of defending herself.

[She blinks. That hadn't actually occurred to her. She knew how to do it from reading the little book, though how much of that she really understood was debatable.]

Hold on.

[And now she's checking it's moveset.]

...Scratch, Foresight and defensive Curl.

Sounds like it's got claws! That's definitely a start.

Maybe.

I suppose if it has any potential, I can probably find it...

[Why yes, she is sure of herself.]

There ya go.

But I still don't see how a little fuzzy tail thing could ever beat a dragon.

Appearances are deceiving, just because something looks tough and battle ready, doesn't necessarily mean it is.

[The tiny viking girl grins.]

Well, I know that. But it's still...hard to picture. I guess we'll see!

[He has to smile back at that]

I'm sure we will.

I'm Stiles, by the way.

Astrid. Hey.
