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 haven't heard of those but I can't imagine squirrel tastes very good.

No one expects to be kidnapped in their sleep and left in the middle of nowhere. Not my fault.

[rocking_it]

[Snrk.] How? Anyway, it's his choice, and he doesn't like Fluff. Right?

[The sentret chitters. Maybe it's agreeing, who knows?]

[rooster_shout]

That would be even better! You should make a list and ask him which ones he likes!

That's what I did with most of my pokemon. [Clearly the little boy in a chicken has good naming sense.]

[rocking_it]

Oh, that's a good idea! I've only had a couple suggestions so far. Do you have any ideas?

[The camera shakes as he stands up and starts to walk.] You would be prepared if the people who you get food from weren't able to give you any. If one of them was injured while they were getting food they wouldn't be able to bring you any while they were healing.

[rooster_shout]

Hmm how about Bull's eye, Ringo or Hoppin!

[punchandkiss]

That's what the book says.

And people here seem to end up with a lot of them.

[rocking_it]

That's two for Bullseye. These don't sound like the names we use back home, though.

Re: [Video]

[rocking_it]

I'm from the city, if someone's hurt there are hundreds of other people to do the job!

[rooster_shout]

Well, Bullseyes means you hit something from far away. So if you shot an arrow at a far away tree. You'd say BULLS EYE!

It like saying yay.

[rocking_it]

Well, I don't mind taking care of them while I'm here. But I don't know that I can take care of that many and myself. Guess it depends on how much they eat.

[punchandkiss]

Mine have been eating a lot of berries. At first I was worried, but they seem to know which ones are safe instinctively.

There's...pokemon food you can buy, too, but I haven't yet.

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

Right now there's only you.

Re: [Video]

[rocking_it]

Yeah yeah. I can take care of myself, you know.

[He's just never had to.]

[rocking_it]

Berries I can do! And I'll just get a job for myself.

[He's flipping through his manual a bit.]

This seems a little overwhelming, but I think I've got it.

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

So you know how to tell if a plant is safe to eat then? Some of the things here that look like they would be good to eat will make you sick if you're not a Pokémon.

[He has a good idea what the answer to that question is.]

[rocking_it]

Don't you mean he looks like a bull's eye, though? I don't think "target" is something to name a pet!

[rocking_it]

I'm not supposed to eat the berries, I know.

Are you seriously living off of the pokemon?

[rooster_shout]

No that's the words you shout after something get hits. It would be silly to name him Target.

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

[It seems someone has warned him already. At least he won't have to suffer through that.]

Do you know what you can eat then?

No, you can't eat them. It's like trying to eat a rock. I buy a lot of meat when I go through a town and eat that along with whatever plants I find while I'm walking. It takes three days to walk from New Bark Town to Cherrygrove City though, and there aren't any stores in New Bark Town, so you have to eat the plants that you find on the way if you don't want to go hungry.

[rocking_it]

I might as well just name him Yay then.

[rocking_it]

I've been asking but no one else is as woodsy as you.

I might not have my bending anymore, but I can make it to Cherrygrove City even if I don't have anything to eat.

...it'd be nice to know what I can, though. [His stomach is already grumbling oh why did he eat everything already?]

[rooster_shout]

Well Yay isn't as cool as bullseye.

...I know what about Ispy!

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

[You have a Sentret and you seem like you'll be treating it well, so he'll take a risk and give you some advice. Remember how he got up and started to walk a few tags ago? He stops walking and points the camera at some ferns.]

Plants like these are edible. [The camera swings around for a bit before coming to rest on some mushrooms.] Apparently there aren't any poisonous mushrooms here. I know for sure that these ones are safe for humans. [He moves around for a bit longer, showing Bolin various herbs, mostly ones that are common or are easy to identify.]

[punchandkiss]

It's...not as complicated as it looks. Mostly, you catch these little creatures and train them to fight so they get stronger. [She shrugs.] Everything else seems to be a...side effect of that.
