Alright, I got some reviews, so here are the responses:
Nightfury0335: I'll do my best.
Bayoboo: Actually, he isn't for one specific reason: He came up with hypnotizing Astrid to make her hate Hiccup, but is so incredibly stupid, he never thought to mind control her into... intimate relations, for lack of a better term.
And... that's it. Oh, and the Deathgripper egg hatched! I'm calling him Pierce. Of course, now I'm stuck with two unborn Nightmares and a Whispering Death egg... plus Abyss found a Zippleback egg, so I'm stuck with it...
Snotlout: Please! Those things aren't as cool as the Snot!
...Hey, Pierce. You remember when I told you I'd get you a chew toy?
The Titan Beedrill let out another screech. The underlings cornering Fishlegs and Skyfire moved in closer, prodding Meatlug and Iggy into retreat. Sharpshot let out a miserable moan as he spat up purple bubbles of poison. Toothless opened his mouth to reveal the light of a charging Dragon Rage, but didn't fire for fear of Hiccup being attacked.
Hiccup looked down at the point of the stinger being held to his chest. "Um... can we negotiate about this or are you just gonna kill me?"
The stinger moved in closer, a dribble of red trickling down Hiccup's shirt. "I'll take that as the latter."
The Titan's other stinger began whirling with a Drill Run, as though the Beedrill was saying, "I swear, kid, if you don't shut up...!"
Skyfire chirped weakly, but was in no shape to do anything. Sharpshot moaned again. Toothless, still with a prepped attack, shot Hiccup a questioning look. The scrawny boy shook his head in a minuscule movement.
Speedy was crouching down, the young Beedrill not doing anything.
The Titan let out a commanding buzz and all the conscious Beedrill flocked to him, twitching excitedly. Ceremonially, the leader declared, "This boy is guilty of kidnapping one of our young and trespassing on our territory! As Titan, I sentence him. But as your leader, I must hear your voices. What say you, brethren, on the punishment of this stingerless?"
The Beedrill burst into roaring buzzes. "Kill him!" "Pump him full of venom!" "I don't care, so long as it's painful for him!"
The Titan nodded. "Very well. I sentence him to maiming, dismemberment, impaling, and death, in that order!"
And he thrust forth his Drill Run stinger to tear Hiccup's arm off... except it never made contact.
Speedy finally sprang forwards and deflected it with a Twineedle. "Titan, stop!"
This gave the assembly of Beedrill pause. The Titan slowly lowered his stingers. "Youngling... what are you doing?"
Speedy sighed. "I guess I've a confession to make. Hiccup didn't steal me. I allowed myself to be captured."
The swarm exploded in rage, some falling into apoplectic fits. The Titan let out a furious scream. "You LET yourself be captured?! Why would you do that?!"
"Because I'm sick of this forest! I want to explore and see the world! But I knew you wouldn't permit me until I was fifty years old, so getting captured was my only opportunity! I found an area where I thought a human might come and made myself an enticing target!"
The Titan Beedrill raised his stinger again, paused, and lowered it, thinking. Then he nodded. "Very well, youngling. I shall spare this human. But on one condition."
"Name it."
"Produce a satisfactory battle. Then I shall allow you to leave."
Speedy gulped, but shakily nodded- battling a Titan Pokemon! But what choice did he have? He buzzed over to Hiccup and made a few motions, attempting to get his master to understand the predicament. It took about three seconds.
Hiccup nodded. "Alright, Speedy. Let's do this thing. Use String Shot!"
Titan Beedrill was immediately displeased as Speedy blasted silk strands from his stingers and tied his own to his abdomen. And it was strong silk- he was actually struggling to get out. "Now, Twineedle!"
Speedy shot in, but the Titan was already moving, his immobile stingers not interfering with his wings. He shot out of the way with astonishing speed, then shot in with Aerial Ace, slamming the younger Beedrill to the ground. He took the time Speedy took to get back into the air to try severing the string binding him.
Hiccup walked over to his Beedrill and whispered something into his ear, and the Titan observed the youngling's face change, expression darkening in a matter of moments.
And Speedy lunged.
There was no other word for it. The younger Beedrill wasn't as fast or as powerful as the Titan, but was able to use his smaller size to avoid most of his opponent's attacks. The human wasn't even giving him commands-
Oh. No commands. Meaning Speedy didn't have any limitations.
Speaking of which, the Titan roared in pain as a Twineedle pierced his side, before Speedy gleamed with Harden, dashed away from a Poison Jab, and Hardened again. And dodged and Hardened again.
The Titan lashed out again, this time thoroughly ticked off, and the Poison Jab sparked off Speedy's body. The Titan tried Drill Run. That had an effect, as Speedy screeched in pain and was knocked aside, barely managing to get up.
The Titan laughed, attempting to egg the younger on. "Ha! If that's the best you can do, you may as well give up now!"
Unfortunately, this got the rest of the swarm roaring insults, completely the opposite of what the Titan wanted, as Speedy began glowing red with anger... wait, glowing red? And... was it turning blue?
Speedy roared in fury. "I WILL NOT LET YOU STAB AT MY DREAMS!!"
And the Outrage attack flared to life, Speedy roaring as he lunged, surrounded by draconic light. The Titan couldn't even try to dodge, simply staring dumnfoundedly.
The attack struck like a rushing train. The Titan felt his exoskeleton fold as Speedy bodychecked him, before he was pushed all the way across the small clearing with surprising strength, too winded to scream when he was brutally slammed into a tree. Then Speedy gripped the Titan with the sides of his stingers, pulling the stronger Beedrill back and slamming him into the tree over and over, lost in rage. The older Beedrill's Titan status was probably the only reason he lived.
When Speedy finally pulled back, he buzzed snobbishly and flew back to Hiccup's side. The swarm looked to the Titan. "Titan?"
"...they live."
The Beedrill stilled for a moment, then began to buzz off in twos and threes. Speedy glared. "And we can leave?"
The Titan groaned. "Yes, just please don't mention this to the Titan Gengar at Changewing Island! He'll never let me hear the end of it!"
Skyfire, back up, smirked devilishly on Fishlegs' shoulder.
The Titan buzzed off.
Hiccup smiled and picked up Sharpshot, reaching into his bag and producing an Antidote. "Nice one, Speedy."
The Beedrill buzzed pleasedly and motioned towards the forest path. "I'm with you."
Fishlegs looked confusedly at him. "What'd he say?"
"I'm not sure, but I think it's something along the lines of, let's go before they change their minds.
And they did, laughing as they ran towards the exit of Drenchwood Forest, thoroughly relived to be out of it.
Astrid scowled as Snotlout triumphantly thrust his hands in the air, the Poke Ball he'd just thrown registering a successful capture of the Taillow he'd been pursuing. "Snot, we're wasting time! We could've been out of this forest ages ago!"
"You weren't complaining when Tuff took a half hour detour just to get his Torchic."
Astrid blinked, then bowed in apology- actually bowed. "You're right. I should've remembered that."
Snotlout smiled. "It's fine. Even you can't always be perfect." He leaned in closer.
An image flashed through Astrid's head with a quick burst of hatred, but were gone before she could notice them. Besides, why would she hate her boyfriend?
Now Useless- what was his real name? Hiccup, that's it.- him she hated with a burning passion. Daring to believe he could stand up to Snotlout or herself? The twins could've beaten that Gible! Stormfly was probably sabotaged somehow. But that didn't matter.
Her boyfriend was leaning in for a kiss, and she never refused a kiss.
She didn't notice Ruff and Tuff grinning wickedly like they knew something she didn't, or that Snotlout was smirking triumphantly like he'd brought home a Thawfest trophy.
All she knew was that she loved Snotlout, and it would always be that way.

I know some of the teens' Pokemon aren't supposed to learn some of their moves until a later date, but... hey, this is fiction.
Please, ask if you have any questions! Until next time, stay tuned!
