Eleventh Viking Charge [ Video]

[When the camera clicks on, rather than show Astrid, it shows a wide, grassy field. About twenty feet away, sitting in the grass, is Hiccup, next to his Salamance, apparently talking to it and not doing anything else. After maybe thirty seconds of this, the gear turns around to reveal Astrid, looking rather annoyed. Her Sentret, Fuzzball, is perched on her shoulder.]

I need to know how to snap a stupid boy out of a funk.

All he does is sit around staring at his gear or talking to his dragon or talking about that Clair trainer! Or talking to his dragon about that Clair trainer. Or just sitting there thinking about that Clair trainer! That's it!

[No she's not jealous, shut up.]

He's not training enough or doing anything and keeping his attention for more than five minutes is impossible!

[She almost shouts that last bit, and then catches herself and sighs.]

I just need to snap him out of it, that's all.

Exactly.

Sooo... based on what I'm hearin', Clair is this bigshot dragon-training Gym Leader. I haven't battled her so I've got no idea how good she is, but if she's one of those Leaders, it means she's at least good by like... society's standards or whatever.

So, if that's what he pays attention to...

You have dragon Pokemon, right?

[punchandkiss]

Sure. Like half my roster is dragons it feels like.

[foolishwren]

Well, there you go.

Want Hiccup to stop staring at Clair and HER dragons?

Get real damn good at training yours.

... And then you can go challenge Clair and kick her butt in the most badass dragon showdown this dump's ever seen.

[That...does sound tempting.]

Is Clair around all the time for challenges? She's not one of those special elite types I saw people mention right?

I mean, it would be pretty nice to do it...and my dragons are awesome...

[Video]

[foolishwren]

I'm ... pretty sure she's just a Gym Leader. A couple friends of mine have already beat her, so...

Anyway, it's like their job to hang around in their gyms and let everybody challenge them, so... yeah

[Video]

[punchandkiss]

Well it would be pretty cool. And my main team is maxed out now...

Sure! I have to do it.

[Just ignore the out of date roster...]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Go for it, man.

I'll be rooting for ya.

[Worst friend.]

I think I will. I mean, he'd have to notice that right?

[Wait shit.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Well, yeah. I mean.

If he's THAT obsessed with Clair, why wouldn't he watch his friend from home battle her?

[Video]

[punchandkiss]

I guess I can't argue with that.
