Eighth Viking Charge [Video]
[Astrid is in Ecruteak, and she looks...puzzled. She's frowning at her gear absently as she starts to talk.]
Okay. So, I've learned to deal with a lot here, really. Riding on the back of a giant bird, eggs that hatch into dogs, animals that get 'knocked out' instead of killed.
Ghost masks that make you think you're other people and no I am never going to talk about that.
Ghosts in general. I caught a ghost! He looks like a furry floating dark thing that grins. Which is weird. It's all weird.
But I think...this sort of wins.
[She turns the camera away now, to where her Wailmer is sitting on the ground looking gigantic and very happy. He sort of wiggles at the camera in what might be an attempt at a tail wag.]
He hatched from an egg that I could hold in my hands. Egg to that. He's HUGE. [And back to Astrid.] The 'Ball Whale Pokemon.' Seriously? And the strangest thing? Someone mailed me the egg. Anonymously. Someone looked at this and thought 'I'm going to give this whale thing to the viking girl.'
[She just shakes her head.]
I think I'm gonna name him 'Ball.'

Not a bad Pokemon to have. You think it's big now, wait until he evolves. It'll be fucking huge, man.

Video - Imogen is too close to her camera outta excite.
...But I can't see using it in many battles unless you're near an ocean.
"Ball" is kinda boring, isn't it?
Video
But it's accurate. He's a big ball of whale.
And supposedly he can fight on land. I'll have to train him somehow.
Video
Maybe he rolls around on land! *Imogen is so helpful.*
Video
[She shrugs and turns to the whale.]
Hey Ball, come over here!
[Whether responding to her voice, or the name, who knows...but the wailmer promptly...bounces...over to her. She just sighs and reaches up to give him a pat.] Good boy.

Oh my gosh, he's so cute!

...Sure? I guess. If you like big round whales.

[She has walked over to 'Ball the Wailmer' and is absently looking him over as he hops happily around.]

...Once he chooses to completely ignore all the stuff about ghosts, yep.]
I bet Helga's not seeming so silly anymore, is she?
[His 'Milk Cow Pokemon' was so much better than your 'Ball Whale Pokemon', Astrid.]
[video]
A whale is still better than a cow, Hiccup. You're basically fighting with livestock. You might as well try and use a sheep.
[video]
[And the scene on his side shifts to Helga the Miltank, practicing a little of her one-two punch against the air, and the creatures overseeing her training. One is Hookfang, looking bored, but the other is being oddly attentive. It is, in fact, a sheep, and similarly pink.]
I haven't had any trouble fighting with livestock, here. Helga already seems pretty strong, and Zippleback can do some damage when she wants to.
[He won't mention that she's not exactly a pokemon to come to mind when he thinks of battling. The Flaaffy was more suited for being a pillow, as long as you didn't mind your hair sticking up from the static.]
Plus, they manage to serve a practical purpose, just like back home! [He shakes his head in mock disappointment.] Whales...generally don't serve a practical purpose.
[video]
You have a fighting sheep.
[Yes, here, have an actual facepalm.]

And I thought this place couldn't get any weirder... [There's still more to come Misaki..]
Re: [video]
And now he fits in this.
[video]
I understand little Pokemon like my Pidove but Pokemon as big as your whale...? I don't know what would surprise me anymore.
Re: [video]
You'll...I want to say you'll get used to all the weird things here, but you really won't.

I'm still not entirely sure how all Pokemon can only lay eggs, but... I think that is one of the things we are not meant to know. [And thinking about it more, he believes he may not want to know anyway.]

But yeah, sometimes they are really human. Apparently a few of them can talk.
