Seventh Viking Charge [Video]

[punchandkiss]

[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?

[She's not surprised, but it's still weird to her.]

But that's how they get stronger.

I have plenty of strong pokemon already. [Sigh. They had a very different approach to this whole pokemon thing.] If Valhallarama decides she wants to train when she's a little older, then I'll let her train.

...Valhallarama. [Don't laugh. Don't laugh!]

But she should at least be able to protect herself.

Well, yeah. [BEST TO NOT EXPLAIN THE POKEDEX ENTRY.] I figured I already had a pokemon named after my dad, so why not my mom, too? Even if I didn't really know her.

She doesn't really leave my arms, usually... Even if she does, she's by someone who can protect her.

[punchandkiss]

[Well, she couldn't argue with that.]

She might like training though. It can be fun, and babies love games.

Not everyone enjoys fighting as much as you do, Astrid.

[punchandkiss]

[She just rolls her eyes.]

But you don't know if she likes it if you don't let her try it.
