Helloooooo, not Republic City!

[Have a very close-up shot of Bolin's oh-so pretty eyes.]

So, hey. Kidnapped huh. [Kidnapped again, more like it. He leans back and strokes his lack of beard, allowing the rest of his face to be seen. There's a Sentret flopped over his shoulder like a pancake.]

This is a lot better than most kidnappings I've been to. I even get a free--uh, I'm not sure what this is. [He checks out that Sentret. It's a little familiar to him but not quite enough. Like a squished fire ferret.] Yeah, I don't know. But he is adorable! Don't tell Pabu I said that.

[The Sentret makes some little squeaky noises from his shoulder.]

Ahh, guys! It's assaulting me with cuteness! Do you think I should name him?

I gotta say, you seem pretty okay with this.

[rocking_it]

Hey, things happen. And I don't always get new pets out of it.

I do get to keep him, right?

[thetruehistorian]

It seems "friendship" is an important factor when dealing with Pokemon, and naming it will help.

[worktodo]

What, are you just a seasoned professional at getting kidnapped or something?

[getthehorns]

Kid, you don't know the half of it.

Yeah- he's your new partner, so you might as well name him while you're at it.

[rocking_it]

Really? All right, I'll have to think of something good, then. Ah! How about Bupa?

[rocking_it]

No! Nooooo. It's just, y'know, everyone gets kidnapped sometimes, right?

[rocking_it]

Partner? But Pabu's my partner! [whisper] And he is going to be angry forever if he sees this!

[getthehorns]

What the hell is a "Pabu"?

[worktodo]

Oh, sure, it's a rite of passage. Lose your first tooth, get your first kiss, shave your first whiskers, experience your first kidnapping.

[His tone is basically marinated in sarcasm here.]

[rocking_it]

He's a fire ferret! We've been partners since he was a baby.

[rocking_it]

Exactly! Now I just need to shave ...

[thetruehistorian]

[Robin is. Probably not the right person to ask for name suggestions...]

Dark Bullseye.

[... for obvious reasons.]

[getthehorns]

I don't know what a fire ferret is, and unless it's some kinda pokémon, you're probably not gonna find one here.

[rocking_it]

Oohhhh. I like it. But it'd be Dabu for short, and that sounds too much like Pabu.

[rocking_it]

I don't think fire ferrets are pokemon, they're just animals.

Though I really don't see what makes him a pokemon. [Here he gives his Sentret a little scritch under its jaw with his finger.]

[thetruehistorian]

Why is that a bad thing?

[getthehorns]

All the animals here are pokémon. Some of 'em just look it more than others.

[rocking_it]

My fire ferret's name is Pabu, I don't want the names to be too similar. That'd just be confusing.

[rocking_it]

Huh. Then I guess he must be stuck back home. I hope Mako's taking good care of him.

[thetruehistorian]

That's a creature from your world, I assume?

You can call him Dark or Bullseye for short.

[Come onnnnn..... it's a cool name, right? You want to name your ferret after something people use as target practice, of course you do.]

[worktodo]

See if you can find yourself a brain while you're at it. You could use one.

[getthehorns]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

[rocking_it]

Yup!

I guess, though it'd be kind of a western an odd name. I'll have to think about it. Plus I have to ask his opinion, right? [Here he pets his Sentret. Guess who gets the final verdict on this?]

Oh, I'm Bolin by the way.

[rocking_it]

Heeeeey ... it's not my fault I got kidnapped! I wasn't even doing anything this time!
