[Astrid is sitting somewhere in Violet City when she turns her camera on, leaning her back against a wall. Her Axew is seated next to her, holding a pokemon egg between his legs as her Sentret sits on his head, chittering at everyone who walks by.]

[She's apparently added a new member to her team, as there is a rather tiny Shinx sitting in her lap. The little blue pokemon is gnawing on Astrid's thumb, her eyes intent, even as Astrid uses her other hand to rubs her fur between her ears. The teen doesn't even seem to realize she's doing it, her attention on the camera itself. She looks...frustrated.]

Okay, I know this place is pretty big, but how long does it actually take to get to Ecruteak from Violet?

[When you've spent your whole life in one village, distances can be a bit hard to wrap your head around.]

I need to get there. It's kind of an emergancy.

[She hesitates, her eyes narrowing as she studies the gear for a moment.]

Right. Someone told me I can use this to talk to just one person? Instead of...well, everybody. ...Can't figure out how, though. So, if anyone can let me know? I'm trying to reach a kid named Hiccup again.

...Are her wings made of knives?

More or less. She is a steel-type pokémon.

There are metal pokemon.

[Astrid looks impressed. All the ones she's found are at least animals.]

Oh, there are all types! I myself have an insect, a bird, a fish, a couple of dragons, a bat, and a flying squirrel, among others.

Yeah, I get that. I just don't usually think 'metal' as a type of animal, you know?

I suppose you just get used to it. Syi Salika has blades for hands and Sanput can fire lightning from his cheeks, so having a metal bird isn't all that out of the ordinary for me.

I'm still getting used to it, I guess. Metal wings...

Can she fly?

[ In answer, she turns to the Skarmory ] Loka? Go on.

[ With a cry, the pokémon takes to the air. Talim tracks her with the camera as she flies in a wide circle, sheering the top off of a nearby tree as she comes in for her landing. ]

...Man.

Where'd you catch her?

A friend of mine actually gave her to me when she was just an egg. I... honestly don't know if you can find a Skarmory in the wild.

...I'm going to have to find out, then.

[She grins. Astrid really wants a flying knife bird.]

Good luck! You can always see if the Breeding Centre has any Skarmory eggs as well.

Hmm. Okay. They gave me a growlithe egg from there.
