Pokémon, but cultural invasion.

With a fan blowing and a fire starting, Hiccup looked serious as he hammered the red-hot iron sword, forging it into wings.

The small components were assembled and cast, and leather was used instead of the wing membrane.

He nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the tail wing kit in his hand, which could extend and retract freely.

The next day, Hiccup carried a whole basket of fish on his back.

"Hey Toothless, I brought you breakfast. Hope you're hungry."

While Toothless was enjoying his meal, Hiccup helped him try on the newly made tail wing components.

After it finished eating the last fish in the basket, the component seamlessly replaced the damaged tail section.

"Gurgle~"

Toothless seemed to sense something, flicked its tail, and slowly spread its wings.

Hiccup, sitting on his tail and focused on tightening the rope, was completely unaware of the pair of outstretched wings behind him.

The next second, Toothless lifted him into the air.

Hiccup instinctively hugged its tail tightly. Just as Toothless was about to lose its balance and fall again due to the missing tail fin, Hiccup reached out a hand and pulled the tail fin assembly apart.

As if by magic, the dragon, which had been swooping down towards the ground, miraculously climbed the steep slope and soared into the sky.

"This really works!"

The forest beneath his feet receded into the distance, and Hiccup shouted excitedly, "Great! I did it!"

With a whirlwind, Toothless glanced back at the object hanging on its tail, then flicked its tail and tossed Hiccup into the lake.

The tail fin went out of control, and unsurprisingly, Toothless, who had just been flying freely, crashed into the lake along with the plane.

Little Hiccup, who had fallen into the lake, jumped up, his excited shout filled with undisguised joy.

Accompanied by the lighthearted sound of a flute, the film's narrative rhythm begins to shift.

While participating in combat training at the training camp, Hiccup was also building a dragon saddle and a controllable tail fin assembly for him to ride.

He discovered that Toothless absolutely hated the smell of rosehips.

By applying the juice of the Romaine Fruit to his hands, Hiccup single-handedly scared away the Appledragon in the training camp, locking it back in its cage and leaving his companions dumbfounded.

Toothless likes to roll around in a certain kind of wormwood with a special smell.

Hiccup took it and placed it in his palm. The enormous monster, Hazel Gnatif, which was invincible in the eyes of others, was gently brushed across its nostrils with the tip of a blade of grass by him, and it comfortably collapsed to the ground, winning cheers from its peers.

Toothless likes to have his neck and chin stroked, and when his sensitive areas are touched, he squints and falls to the ground.

Hiccup put his skills to use. Facing a charging Noisy Dragon, he dropped his weapon and, to the dragon's astonishment, subdued the formidable creature with just his bare hands in a matter of seconds.

Toothless will follow the refracted light spots, constantly trying to catch the moving light.

Hiccup used the reflection on its shield to lure Doronmesia, who was moving so fast that the naked eye couldn't keep up, into the cage.

Despite facing formidable opponents that his peers couldn't defeat, Hiccup effortlessly outmaneuvered them using his deeper understanding of dragons gained from his time with Toothless.

His incredible performances and miraculous winning methods transformed him from an unknown figure on Dragon Island into a rising star of warriors, surrounded by adoring fans wherever he went.

At the same time, the production of dragon saddles and tail fins has become increasingly sophisticated.

The hook-and-lock system prevents people from falling, and the pedal-connected rope controls the direction and amplitude of the tail fin deployment...

Tied the rope to a tree stump on the cliff face, Hiccup rode Toothless, the two of them flying in the wind.

A gust of wind blew away the islanders' mockery of Hiccup at the beginning of the movie, and dispelled the gloom of being looked down upon because of his thin body.

The change in attitude of peers, from arrogance to obsequiousness, is laughable.

The stark contrast gave ordinary people, who had never encountered the elements of wish-fulfillment novels, a sense of triumph and exhilaration that made the story irresistible.

The strategy of first suppressing and then elevating is a timeless tactic, especially when it's a superior form of strategy that uses intelligence to achieve a decisive victory.

Chapter 161 Another Flight

In the eyes of the audience, Hiccup's deep understanding of dragons, when faced with these primitive people who only know how to use brute force, is simply a case of "dimensional reduction attack".

If trainers were to use an analogy, it would be like going back to the ignorant era hundreds of years ago when people didn't understand tactics, and you pulled out a Substitute/Poison.

Although the substitute poison is now commonplace and easy to crack, it was a deadly weapon for ignorant people a hundred years ago.

Times are progressing, tactics are evolving, and the only variable is the time that slips away unnoticed.

The film no longer focuses on the scenes that have sparked the imaginations of countless trainers. Instead, after the dual narrative spliced ​​together by montage techniques, it is Hiccup riding Toothless for the first time and truly flying into the sky.

The moment the first note of "Test Drive" is played, the camera pulls back to the bright, distant horizon.

Surrounded by wisps of clouds, Hiccup took a deep breath, his hair and clothes fluttering in the sea breeze.

Toothless spread his wings and soared, swaying from side to side.

"Okay, partner, take it slow, stay steady."

He held onto the dragon saddle with one hand, looking at a detailed guide to riding a Night Fury pasted in front of him.

The text above describes in detail how to deploy the tail fins and perform various actions with Toothless.

This is the result of their practice on the tree stumps on the cliff.

"Come on, let me see, maneuver number four: left turn..."

Hiccup steps on the pedal, and with the pull mechanism, the artificial tail fin on the tip of Toothless's tail unfolds.

"Gurgle~"

Toothless glanced back at his tail, then glided sideways, leaving a graceful arc in the sky between the two.

The air currents lifted Hiccup's red hair, and her clothes billowed wildly behind her.

Toothless nimbly adjusted its posture, flapping its huge wings up and down, creating gusts of wind.

Below, the verdant valleys, winding bays, and rows of wooden houses on the islands rapidly shrink, while the azure sea stretches out to the horizon.

The epic soundtrack is grand and majestic, making the sea, islands, and sky seem to unfold before the audience's eyes.

They heard the howling wind, Toothless's excited growl, and Hiccup's rapid heartbeat.

"Alright, it's time to give it a try."

Hiccup stepped on the pedal again, guiding Toothless to dive downwards.

It sank down along with the orchestral instruments that arrived just in time, then suddenly plunged down, speeding along the sea surface.

Long, black wings sliced ​​through the surging waves, splashing up tiny, sparkling droplets of water that startled the fluorescent fish, causing them to scatter in panic.

After a slight touch, it gently rose again, revealing a hollow between two cliffs ahead.

"Go for it, partner!"

Both the man and the dragon were intently focused on what lay ahead, with Hiccup cheering it on.

They skimmed along the rugged rock face, moving freely like a gust of wind.

The cries of long-winged gulls echoed overhead.

Hiccup looked up and saw several white dots darting across the rock face, quickly leaving them behind.

"Yes, it worked!"

"Plan Three, Plan Three!"

Hiccup, holding onto his claws, sensed his intention, and Toothless began to climb almost vertically upwards.

It flapped its enormous wings vigorously and soared toward the distant sky.

"Fly, fly! Let the wind fall behind us!"

Hiccup cheered and shouted with joy, while Toothless felt the freedom he had lost for so long, sticking out his tongue and exerting his strength.

The audience in front of the screen was also captivated by the atmosphere between them, watching this unique romance between humans and dragons.

If someone had asked the residents of Dragon Village before this what their ultimate dream romance with Pokémon was...

That must be standing on the champion's podium at the Silver Tournament together with their own dragon cub.

But now there has been a subtle change. While pursuing dreams with partners is certainly appealing, it ultimately cannot compare to mutual redemption during low points.

In their most desperate moment, they encountered an injured dragon unable to fly. They cautiously tested each other, and after trusting each other, they helped the dragon soar back into the blue sky.

The bonds forged in this shared effort will surely shine brightly when we emerge from the trough.

This is the ultimate romance that Izumi tells all Dragon-type Pokémon trainers.

Meanwhile, A-Du and Xiao-Chun, sitting in the audience, felt a youthful spirit that had either disappeared for a long time or had never existed before.

They watched Hiccup and Toothless soar freely through the sky, like a gust of wind or a bird.

Pure and surging, vibrant energy, boldly envisioning the future with fearlessness, is captivating and moving.

For a moment, A-Du was in a daze, as if he saw the scene of his first encounter with Dratini, when they were both young.

Xiaochun, on the other hand, recalled her encounter with Mohaima in the Dragon's Lair, every detail of which seemed as if it were just yesterday.

The performance was so captivating and immersive that the residents of Dragon Village couldn't help but want to stand up from their seats to feel the clouds and the wind.

"This is amazing! Even the wind seems to have been blown up to where we are..."

As they climbed to the top of the altitude, Hiccup's smile vanished abruptly; the compass he had been holding to the dragon saddle had been blown away by the wind.

"My cheat sheet!"

As it continued to climb, it inevitably became fatigued, and Toothless flapped its wings at a slower and slower pace, its upward momentum fading away.

As if things weren't bad enough, during the brief period of weightlessness, Hiccup reached for the fallen cheat sheet, causing the hook-and-lock mechanism that prevented the rider from falling to loosen.

With its tail fin out of control, Toothless, unable to maintain its flight attitude, began to fall.

The man and the dragon separated at an altitude of 10,000 meters and fell straight towards the land in freefall.

"Fuck!"

Hiccup, who had lost his balance and was tumbling in the air, said in a panic and a hurry, "Listen, you have to adjust your angle yourself and fly this way!"

The rolling dragon tail slapped him hard across the face.

Toothless was like a spinning black sphere, tumbling wildly in the air.

The thrilling and exciting scene left everyone on edge, but fortunately, Hiccup managed to grab the dragon saddle in the gale and, with his cheat sheet in his mouth, rode on Toothless's back again.

"Waaah!"

Hiccup gritted his teeth and, together with Toothless, adjusted his posture and spread his wings, like a kite, using air resistance to minimize his descent energy.

The mountains and forests swept past beneath our feet, and ahead lay a chaotic forest of rocks composed of clouds, mist, and island cliffs.

The rapidly decreasing altitude brought the obstacle within arm's reach.

Hiccup quickly reached out to look at the control instructions for the tail fin, which was shaking wildly in the gale, but couldn't make out the patterns at all.

Then I looked at the island cliffs that were about to reach my face.

"No more!"

With a desperate, do-or-die courage, Hiccup dropped his cheat sheet and climbed onto Toothless to focus on the obstacles.

"Test Drive" reaches its rhythmic climax, with violins and flutes working together and brass instruments playing their hearts out.

At this moment, Hiccup no longer needed any guides to ride the dragon. They were firmly connected by trust and understanding, and their bond was unbreakable.

Chapter 162 Giratina: No! They're coming for me! (Added)

They moved swiftly through the rocky cliffs and forests, their movements as they pleased, and the dragons following their every move.

Without a word, Toothless responds instantly and perfectly with every pedal stroke.

Their relationship is no longer that of dragon and rider, but that of a whole; the simple tail wing drive mechanism has been given flexibility far beyond imagination.

Hiccup and Toothless skimmed across the intricate cliffs like a gust of wind, close to the sea surface, like egrets skimming the water or swallows gliding across the waves.

Even after flying away from the misty cliff area, Toothless still looked bewildered, seemingly surprised that he could fly so nimbly and avoid such a complex obstacle environment.

The tacit understanding and trust that humans and dragons develop through interaction can shine brightly even without being tested.

Hiccup sat on the dragon's back, raising his hands and shouting excitedly.
