Hey, y'all! Glad to see that a couple of you actually like this story idea. Anyway, I've already chosen Hiccup's starter Pokémon for this story, and I hope you guys like what I've chosen. The only thing I'm not certain of is who to pair Hiccup with. Do I want to pair him with Hilda (female main character from Pokémon Black and White versions and Black 2 and White 2 versions), or do I want to pair him with Dawn? Maybe Misty? Or how about May? Let me know in the reviews what you think on the subject.
*I still don't own How To Train Your Dragon or Pokémon!*
Thoughts of a Partner!
As Hiccup walked down the path to the town where Professor Juniper's lab is located, he couldn't keep the smile off his face. He's only been on the road for like fifteen minutes and already he's seen more Pokémon than he ever did in Opelucid City! He's seen Woobats, Pidoves, Lillipups and more! If this is that feeling of adventure he's heard so much about, Hiccup's not so sure he wants it to end.
"Well, I guess it's just gonna be you and me for a little while, little guy." Hiccup said to the egg he was carrying.
As he kept walking, Hiccup failed to notice that the egg shook a little bit. It was as if the baby inside was responding to his voice.
Anyway, Hiccup kept walking, following the path to Nuvema Town, where Professor Juniper's lab is located. But he knew that it would take him days to reach it on foot. Hiccup reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet. He has some money… maybe he can use it to pay for a ride to Nuvema Town.
He quickly walked over to a bus stop and was quite lucky to catch the bus just as it was about to leave. He payed the fee, took a seat, buckled up and rode along on the bus. Good thing this bus only has three other stops until it reaches Nuvema Town. So he should be there before the day is over.
But that didn't mean that this journey was going to be easy for Hiccup. Not at all.
He knows that he won't ever really be missed in Opelucid City. Knowing the people there, they'd probably celebrate if he lost in the final tournament of the Pokemon League and scorn him even more. And his stupid cousin, Snotlout, would have an even bigger reason to become the new Gym Leader for Opelucid.
And if that were to happen, it would be a living nightmare! Hiccup's seen the way Snotlout treats Pokemon, and knows that if Snotlout were ever made the leader, the Opelucid Gym would be closed down before you could say Kyurem's name three times fast!
Hiccup sighed and shook his head. He had no time to think about this right now.
He has to focus on what he's doing now. He needs to get to the lab in Nuvema Town and register as a Pokemon trainer so he can become a Dragon Master! There's just one problem.
Hiccup can't decide which Pokemon to choose as his starter.
'The three starters of Unova are all powerful in their own right, but which one should I choose? Maybe the Fire Type, Tepig…'
*Daydream Sequence #1…*
A roaring crowd was cheering for Hiccup as he stood across from his opponent. The shadowed visage of one of the league champions. On the opponent's side of the field was a Pokemon known as Manectric. And clutched in one of Hiccup's hands was a Poke Ball.
"Show them what you're made of, Tepig!" Hiccup cried.
The boy threw the Poke Ball. which opened with an audible *POP*. and shot out a beam of white light.
The ball of light took on the shape of a small piglet that is the Fire starter for the Unova region.
"Te-pig!" it squeaked.
*End Daydream Sequence #1…*
Hiccup knew that Tepig evolved into the Fire and Fighting Type Pokemon known as Emboar, and it has most Pokemon beat in raw power, but then again, it just didn't feel like the right starter Pokemon for him. He then thought about his other two choices.
'Of course, there are plenty of trainers who have strong Grass Type Pokemon, so… how about Snivy?'
*Daydream Sequence #2…*
A roaring crowd was cheering for Hiccup as he stood across from his opponent. The shadowed visage of one of the league champions. But this time, his opponent was using a Fire and Dark Type Pokemon known as Houndoom to battle. And clutched in one of Hiccup's hands was a Poke Ball.
"I choose you, Snivy!" Hiccup cried as he threw his Poke Ball.
Like the last time, the ball opened with an audible *POP*, but this time it release a small green snake with feet and leaves on its neck and tail. It looked regal and proud.
"Snivy!" it growled, glaring at the opponent.
*End Dream Sequence #2…*
'That would be pretty elegant, especially when it evolves to its final evolution, Serperior… but I don't know…'
As strong and quick as Serperior is, it seemed more like the kind of Pokemon that someone would use if they were training to become a top coordinator for Pokemon Contests, which focus on beauty over power. Not that Hiccup has anything against them, or anything. He just doesn't think that they're the field for him.
Then there's the final starter amongst the trip of Unova.
'If I'm looking for a great attacker as well as a defender, maybe Oshawott is the Pokemon I should choose. It evolves into the formidable Samurott.'
*Daydream Sequence #3…*
A roaring crowd was cheering for Hiccup as he stood across from his opponent. The shadowed visage of one of the league champions. But this time, his opponent was using Tyranitar, a Pseudo Legendary of the Rock and Dark Type variety, to battle. And clutched in one of Hiccup's hands, once again, was a Poke Ball.
"You're up, Oshawott!" Hiccup cried as he threw the new Poke Ball.
Like the last two times before, the ball opened with an audible *POP*, but this time it release a small blue and white otter pup with a yellow scallop shell on its belly. It posed like a ninja as it took to the field.
"Sha! O-shawott!" it cried.
*End Daydream Sequence #3…*
'Yeah, it might be strong enough to get me to the elite four… but I don't want just a strong Pokemon. I want a partner. A Pokemon who will be my friend for life.'
Hiccup decided to worry about that later. He knows that his two real friends, Hilda of Nuvema Town and Dagur of Nimbasa City, would also be going to professor Juniper's lab to get their very first Pokemon. Who knows? Maybe the answer to his dilemma lies there.
If only he knew how right he is.
But it certainly won't be a Pokemon he'd ever expect.
*To Be Continued…*
Okay, I need some help on deciding which girl should be with Hiccup. Just tell me the name of the girl you want Hiccup to get together with and give a brief summary of how they get together in the first place. Remember, this girl is going to be traveling with Hiccup through Kanto and the other regions as well.
