7th Grail: [Video/Action for Goldenrod]
Hydra, let go.
[A shiny, newborn Deino gives a plaintive whine, but Ilya ignores him and pulls her hair out of his reach, offering a long stick instead. He begins to bite into it with gusto.]
You know, people keep talking about how troublesome it is that Deinos love to bite things, but I think there's another problem, and I'm not so sure they're the only ones that have it. Deinos are blind, right? And so is their first evolution, Zweilous. But when they evolve into Hydreigon they can suddenly see. Doesn't that seem like it might cause problems? What would it be like to be blind all your life, then suddenly be able to see? They say Hydreigon is vicious, but maybe it's just scared.
[There's a snapping sound, and Ilya glances over at her dragon, who has bitten straight through that stick and is now trying to find something new. She sighs and offers him another one.]
I don't know what can be done about it, though. You can't really help them try to see before that. I suppose you could try blindfolding the Hydreigon, but I don't think that would work very well.
[The second stick snaps, and a sudden gust of wind blows her hair across Hydra's nose. He snaps it up immediately.]
Ack! ... Although, I guess I do understand the first problem, too. Hydra, let go. I said, let go-
[And with a muffled chomping sound, most of the rest of her hair suddenly vanishes into the maw of the Garchomp that just snuck up behind her. Ilya scowls.]
Not you too, Typhon! Why do you dragons think my hair tastes so good?

[Obvious statement of the year award goes to...]
Well that just stands to reason, but it's not like everyone who's ever raised a Deino would have raised it the same way, right?

[Shrug.]
Instinct's probably got something to do with it, at least on some level. You know, the age old nature vs nurture argument.

Those Pokédex entries are probably based on wild behavior more than anything else.

[That's why humans always try to improve on it, after all.]
About the second head thing... what was yours like when it got to that point? You said it was timid as a Deino, so did it not fight itself as much either?
