[When the feed turns on, Dray smiling like he just won the pokemon lottery. His tail moves lazily behind him and his ears are up.]

Hello everyone! I just got the most majestic pokemon! He’s fierce and loyal, with scales that seem made of steel and a powerful jaw. I can’t decide what to name him, though. I’m torn between Leviathan, Bonecrusher or Shadowbringer. What do you all think? This is him…

[He turns the camera towards the pond next to his garden to show his magnificent pokemon…

….It’s a Magikarp.

A Magikarp that’s splashing around desperately as if he's having a seizure, trying to get away from a Pidgeotto trying to grab him. Dray frowns and throws an apple at the bird, making it fly away. It’s clearly not the first time this had happened if his precision hitting the flying pokemon is any indication.]

Anyway, the name...

[There’s a rather distressed whine coming from off camera and Colette can be heard speaking in a soothing tone.]

Molly, what’s the matter? Come here. Hey, Dray? [Her voice is louder now.] Did you lick my Swirlix again? I told you it really upsets her!

[Dray's eyes shift and his ears drop, he look more than a little guilty.] Er.....Noooo?

Ahhh! Look at how fast he wiggles! So cute!!!

[Shi has bought into this majestic Magikarp idea.]

I like all of the names! But if you name him Bonecrusher, won't that be a bad omen for his own health too?

[Winter isn't around much these days, but she does try to keep an eye on the network for important information.]

[This hardly qualifies as important.]

[Still. She eyes the flopping fish with a steely gaze. Really, she should ignore this, but...]

Tidal rage. And for the sake of all that's good, put the thing in some water.

[...but he's a friend, and she's starting to appreciate that a little more these days.]

[She still signs off with a brisk click, though.]

[mother_of_monsters]

Ahh! That's a great one! [He sound excited and the idea and happy to see Winter. Too bad it doesn't last.] No, wait, don't go!

[Awww...she's gone :( Okay, he will go make sure the magikarp gets back into the pond. That creature seems to be able to survive anything, though.]

[Dray is so happy that someone else can see that Magikarps deserve so love too. He's beaming at Shiro.]

Isn't he? He tries so hard and he's so very athletic! [Right, lets' call it 'athletic'.] Did you get a pokemon too?

What, really? I had no idea that names could do that.

[stillsmiling]

Yeah! I have Princess. She's um. A Poliwag? She can blow bubbles!

[And that's all Shi needs to know, apparently.]

I don't know if names really have any power, but I like to think a good name can bring good things.

[monkeyscream]

Leviathan sounds nice.

Would you consider other suggestions? I think Ryuujin suits him. Like a dragon god.

[ Carp is in his name, so he wants the Magikarp to be called something suitably magnificent.]

Those all sound like very... Interesting names for a fish.

[Rapunzel really didn't know what to make of them really. They weren't something she would have come up with anyway.]

[mother_of_monsters]

He's a fish with big dreams.

[Sorry Rapunzel, sometimes Dray makes little sense like that.]

[mother_of_monsters]

Thank you!

And yes, I am. I want to know other people's opinion. That name is really amazing, I never considered anything like that before. I'll add it to the possible list. Thank you, mr....?

[A good suggestion. Dray might end using a combo of name for the pokemon, like Tidal Rage Ryuujin Leviathan.]

[chocobosnap]

I'm not sure naming a fish after an Astral is a good idea. They're easily offended. I'd say scrap Leviathan.

[He's a dork, and bad at naming things.]

Bonecrusher is the best.

[ivegotadream]

A dream, huh? What dream exactly?

[mother_of_monsters]

Uh...not sure yet. But probably to jump really, really high!

Re: Video

[mother_of_monsters]

An Astral? Never met one of those before, what are they?

[Do you honestly think Dray is any better?]

One extra point for Bonecrusher it is then. Thanks, darling.

[mother_of_monsters]

I have never seen a Poliwag but, bubbles! That sounds fun. She doesn't eat soap to make her, does she?

[More than good enough for Dray too.]

Hm, you might be right. I need to chose the right one for him.

[truesmiles]

Scary~

[Fai is acting up right now, mostly for pretend.]

Such intimidating names you got there.

Video

[unbridledtiger]

I like Leviathan.

[It's a good name for the little guppy.]

[stillsmiling]

.... I hope not! I should probably check... The ghosts are meanies and teaching Princess naughty things!

[He pouts lightly.] I hope the name you pick brings your friend a lot of happiness.

[ivegotadream]

That's still an amazing dream and I hope he reaches for the stars~

[mother_of_monsters]

[Usually, when people says things like that they would be mocking Dray but with Rapunzel he's sure the girl is being sincere. His smile could power a small city.]

Thank you, Rapunzel!

[Dray's expression soften, turning slightly sad, and he looks briefly back at the Magikarp. The pokemon is calmer and swimming around the pond now.]

I know he is not the strongest pokemon and he looks funny...but when I went to change the ticket I saw everyone choosing pokemon that were cute or who would turn into amazing creature once they evolve. I don't even know what a Magikarp turns into, I don't really care. I thought that weak creatures deserve some affection too and he looks cute to me.

[monkeyscream]

My name's Koito.

He has the potential for greatness, and he's adorable.

Video

[chocobosnap]

You know, like the Gods? They're big on blasphemy and stuff and they're not that nice.

[Isn't it great?]

Definitely the best name. It looks like a Bonecrusher.

[ivegotadream]

I think that is a very noble reason for picking someone. I mean I picked mine because she likes to singing and it meant I had a singing buddy for when I clean, but you have faith in your new friend, that maybe he looks weak but in reality, there is something more to him.

[She paused before smiling slightly.]

Plus he is cute in his own way anyway.

[mother_of_monsters]

It's nice to see someone else understands. I would love to hear you two singing.

[Dray's ears flick twice.]

He is. And his scales are very shiny.

Re: Video

[mother_of_monsters]

[Dray makes a face.] We have those in my world and they are the same. Better not risk it.

[Yeahhh...no.]

Heh, thanks. He is a strong fish. Did you change your ticket too?

[mother_of_monsters]

Nice to meet you, Koito. I'm Dray Lyell.

I like to think so! I know he doesn't look too strong but even weak pokemon need love. Did you change your ticket too?
