Production notes

13-year-old Chinese-American boy Jake Long seems like any other hip-hopping, skateboarding, girl-seeking kid, except for the fact that he's descended from a long line of family members who not only have martial arts skills, but can literally transform into a dragon. Because he's a dragon, he's responsible for protecting various magical creatures secretly living in New York City, most notably from the Huntsclan, who have sworn to destroy all dragons for centuries. His Grandfather Lao Shei, a dragon himself trains Jake for battle, along with a unique associate, a magical, talking 600-year-old Shar-Pei named Fu Dog. In this episode, Jake gets fed up when Grandpa puts him through a series of seemingly pointless training exercises when he just wants to ask a girl named Rose out on a date, until the Huntsclan forces him to battle, and he has to put Grandpa's training to the test.
