Third Viking Assault. [Video]

[punchandkiss]

[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.

That depends on whether you're walking, riding, or flying.

Are you one of Hiccup's friends?

[duncansdontsing]

Seriously? What kind of dork goes by 'Hiccup'?

[Sorry, did you have a question somewhere in there, Astrid? Because Duncan here's stuck on the part where somebody's actually named "Hiccup" and they haven't bothered to pick a new name.]

You can always throw up a filter, if you want to get his attention. That's what most people do.

[He shrugs. Please don't mind the fangs and horns-- leftovers from the event.]

As for travel... well, without a bike or a Pokémon to ride, it's pretty time consuming. If it's that important, though, I've got some Pokémon up for rent. A Steelix could probably make short work of the routes.

Man, tell me about it. I still haven't gotten past Cherrygrove...

... course, that's mostly cuz me and my partner have been trainin'...

Probably five days or so, if you're walking. Do you have a pokémon to ride?

[newberktown]

Er... Didn't I tell you it would take a while? [Fiddlesticks, he knew he'd forgotten something important... Still, though. An emergency to get to Ecruteak? He might be taking that as a boost to his ego.]

What did you want to talk to me about?

[usedshooshpap]

If you have his number, just call him.

[worktodo]

Well, what do you know.

Looks like you didn't die in the woods after all.
