punchandkiss | Seventh Viking Charge [Video]

[Astrid is sitting on a bench outside of one of the big stores in Goldenrod, looking...a bit cross. After a minute of glaring at the camera, she reaches off screen and holds up a blue and yellow guitar.]

Whoever told me you could buy axes in Goldenrod, if this is what you meant...

[Yes, she's cross!]

This is not an axe! It's some kind of music...thing. I don't know. I asked for an axe and the guy sold me this. I don't even know what to do with it! I thought maybe it was a carrying case for an axe, some kind of modern...trick.

But it's not!

[She huffs and sets her guitar back down in her lap, plucking irritably at one of the strings.]

I don't suppose anybody does know what to do with it? I bought it, I have to do something with it.

[Another pause, and then she seems to remember something.]

Oh right, also. There's a thing that teaches pokemon to fly? A disc or square or...I don't know, whatever the word is. Someone said you can use it more than once, does anybody in goldenrod have one I could borrow for a couple minutes?

I know! It's infuriating.

[Astrid doesn't mean to glare at him and his...cubone...she can't help it. She's grumpy! She looks like she might shout at him, but then she just sucks in a breath and slumps back where she's sitting.]

I asked for an axe.

We are, yes. But as the limit is over fifty, I doubt you'll reach it quickly.

Oh...No.

Since I have seven.

That's a very good start. It took me nearly five months to get that many.

I only caught three of them. And my starter.

People keep sending me eggs! The last one showed up anonymously, I still don't know what it is.

There was no sender? How strange. Though that's still better than having many Pokémon because their original trainers disappeared.

No. Just a delivery bird with a big blue egg one day.

Yeah...that would suck.

...It does, truly.

[Well, this is getting depressing.]

When would you like to borrow the HM?

[He's...pretty confident Astrid won't punch him while he's holding a baby, so her glare is only mildly disconcerting.]

An axe...?

[On one hand, he's grateful she doesn't actually have one. On the other, why would they have handed her that when she asked for an axe? It was definitely not an axe.]

Johto doesn't have weapons, or at least not normal ones. Though a guitar would be a pretty weird choice, even for this place...

There have to be weapons here somewhere Hiccup. Maybe I'll just find someone who can make me an axe...

[She frowns at the guitar and plucks at a string, then sighs.]

I don't know. I thought maybe it was a case or something, you know? I never know how anything works here. But it wasn't. It's just a musical instrument.

Whenever you have time?

Sorry, but the closest thing is pokemon. Or a butter knife, and those aren't very sharp.

[He could always offer to make an axe... But nope. He'd rather they not get into trouble.]

Huh... Are you planning on returning it, then?

It's not the same.

[She hasn't thought to ask him. Yet.]

No, I can't. They said I couldn't get my money back. I'm stuck with it.

[Yes, Astrid, it's frustrating for him too. Big sigh here.]

I haven't come across any kind of weapon stores either. From the looks of it, we're expected to use our pokémon to do all of our fighting for us.

[He'll take advantage of that as long as he can.]

Oh. [That makes him frown. It wasn't what she wanted, so she should be allowed to return it.] Will you learn how to play it, then? I'm sure there are plenty people that know how who can teach you.

They're more than likely to have guns rather than axes or swords.

I have time now if it suits you.

I guess it wouldn't make sense to take away our weapons at the start if we could just buy new ones...

...Sure. I'm in front of the really big department store. If...that helps. I don't really know how to find anything else.

What's a gun?

That's not fair to the pokemon or us.

Uh... It's a weapon that fires projectiles with explosive powder.

Somebody said I should...[She plucks another string.] I don't even know where to start.

...Why would you want a weapon that explodes?
