Third Viking Assault. [Video]
[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.

[She shakes her head.]
I think somebody is sending me an Arcanine.
video
[And as for the Arcanine... he smirks.]
An Arcanine, huh? Not bad. They can cut a good chunk out of your travel time.
video
[She nods.]
That's what I was told, but...how fast can it really run? It's not like flying.
video
[Though, hopefully she will figure it out.]
As for how fast... well, Pokémon aren't your ordinary animals. The Pokédex says that an Arcanine could run 6,200 miles in a single day, so... you're in pretty good hands. Or paws.
[Whether or not it could carry a human that fast remains to be seen, but still.]
video
[She still thought of this thing as a magic window.]
That's...pretty fast. Really fast. How can it move like that?
video
[He shrugs.]
Still, even if it doesn't make much sense, I'd say it's pretty convenient.
video
I guess. But it doesn't make sense.
video
[He snickers.]
You learn to adapt after a while.
video
Although I spent a couple hours trying to figure out who was playing it before someone explained.

video
I'm leaving soon, though.
video
Ever.
