[index error] fourth wall

[digitalorunknown]

[The form-restoring effect didn't hit Dorumon until he got involved in a computer-related mishap at the Violet City Pokemon Center. His Pokemon vanish into the PC, and he...

...is sent careening across Kan-Joh's cyberspace. When he's not being dumped in front of PC stations in Pokemon Centers, he's being bodily ejected from the communications network via people's Pokegears. Be careful turning yours on today - a three-foot beastdragon may come flying out haphazardly.]

[Huh. That's not normal.

...Which actually is normal for this time of year, so that's fine. Plus, fluffy dragon!]

Uh... Hey, little guy, you okay?

[digitalorunknown]

Ow...

[The fluffy dragon spits out some grass and shakes his head woozily, standing up. He glances back at Hiccup to see who the voice came from.

Then looks up.

Then backs up a bit and looks up again.]

...Aren't you...? [Headtilt. Can't see your face from quite the right angle to tell, dude...]

[newberktown]

[Jeez, was Berk the only other world where dragons couldn't talk? What the heck.

That voice does seem familiar, though, so Hiccup helpfully crouches down to be more on the same level.]

I'm Hiccup. We've met, right?

[digitalorunknown]

[GASPU]

It is you! [He bounces a little on his toes.] It's me, Dorumon! I'm back to normal!

[newberktown]

[Oh no, he's cute.]

Wow, Dorumon! Look at that. How's it feel?

[From what he'd seen, non-humans usually felt better once they were back to being non-humans. Most of them didn't go flinging out of random electronics, though...]

[digitalorunknown]

It's good. I have my legs back. [Stomp stomp.] I'd show Bagon if I could get him out of the PC.

[newberktown]

[He chuckles at that.]

I can see that.

How come you can't get him out of the PC? Is it too high?

[digitalorunknown]

Whenever I try, I just get sucked back into the network.

[newberktown]

Huh... That happen a lot, where you're from?

[Definitely not your usual dragon. Though when did Hiccup ever go for the common ones?]

I could try to access your account, if you want. You think Bagon'd like to see you two aren't so different?

[digitalorunknown]

My world is inside a computer network, so... [whatevs. He'll ponder the implications of the day's events later.]

You can do that? [Nods enthusiastically.] Yeah! I want to talk to him normally.

[newberktown]

Uh... Oh. I see.

[HE DOESN'T, but whatever. He believes Dorumon, at least.]

Maybe? I'm not too sure how it works, but maybe if you're there too and we've got your trainer card for verification, it'll let us withdraw him.

[...And then he really can't contain himself any longer and starts giving Dorumon some neck scritches out of habit.]

[digitalorunknown]

Okay. [He watches Hiccup's hand draw closer with a hint of wary curiosity. When he touches Dorumon's neck, the Digimon opens his mouth to ask him what he's doing-

-oh.

His ears suddenly stand straight up and his eyes get very big. Just as suddenly, he shuts his eyes and slouches, wings falling limply against his back and ears tilting outwards.]
