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?

You have not been kidnapped, boy. Who told you that you were?

[rocking_it]

Nobody told me, I kind of guessed it from the way I woke up somewhere that I didn't go to sleep.

[show_my_cannons]

No one kidnaps us here. You just... end up here. No other way to explain it.

[rocking_it]

Huh. This whole thing is just a giant plate of weird with weirdsauce on top.

[show_my_cannons]

Giant... what now?

[rocking_it]

I mean, how did they get me here? How did they take my bending away? How did they pull people through time? How did they turn giant metal guys into little squishy guys?

Weirdsauce.

[show_my_cannons]

Giant metal...

Who told you about that?

[rocking_it]

Some guy. I didn't exactly get his name, but he said he was supposed to be this giant metal guy and that there were pokemon made of metal too. Which I don't get at all.

[show_my_cannons]

... Did he say he was an Autobot?

[rocking_it]

Uh, he said he was a "Cybertronian" whatever that is.

[show_my_cannons]

I only know of one other Cybertronian here, besides me. Must have been Cliffjumper.

[rocking_it]

Cliffjumper? Wow, did he jump off a lot of cliffs as a baby?

[show_my_cannons]

...

No.

No, he did not.

[Ironhide has no idea.]

[rocking_it]

It just seems like kind of a weird name. Who sees a baby and thinks "wow this little guy'll be great at throwing himself off of ledges?"

[show_my_cannons]

We do not have 'babies' like your kind does.

[rocking_it]

Then where do babies come from?

--I mean, giant metal men?

[show_my_cannons]

The All Spark.

[rocking_it]

Oookay I don't really know what that is. At all. Even less than ponies.

[show_my_cannons]

The All Spark was the source of all life, all energy, for our planet. It created us.

[rocking_it]

Um. Still totally lost here. Does it sculpt you or...? [How do?]

[show_my_cannons]

It... makes sparks.

[HOW DOES HE EXPLAIN THIS.]

Makes... eh. 'Souls'? That the word?

[rocking_it]

Really? Wow. Uh, but where do your bodies come from then?

[show_my_cannons]

All Spark does that, too. More or less.

The whole thing is... more complicated than I ever wanted to know about.

[rocking_it]

Okay ... but what about the metal pokemon? Do they have pokebabies?

[show_my_cannons]

...

Why would I know that.
