[Today on the Bisidian-cam: a Komala. But not just any Komala. A very active Komala, one whose moves and jumps and log-impeded gestures unmistakably form a dance.

People coming from a few specific decades on Earth, and in possession of the necessary cultural background, might recognize the dance in question as the Macarena.]

"It is born asleep, and it dies asleep. All its movements are apparently no more than the results of it tossing and turning in its dreams."

[Ash, however, does not come from any of those Earth decades and has no idea what to make of this. At all.]

...Either that is one extremely strange dream, or the whole species is faking it. Or maybe it's a seizure? Can Pokémon even have seizures? Should I bring her to the Pokémon Center?

[Help him, he's starting to worry.]

....or your Pokemon has the unquenchable thirst to partay.

...I was under the impression that the people who are asleep during parties are particularly boring. Was my generation just bad at multitasking?

Considering that it's said that abra are nearly always asleep, yet seem to have no problem teleporting despite that, it doesn't seem that much of a stretch for something similar to be true of another species...

....no, I meant....it was a joke. It's not funny if I've gotta explain it.

Like...he wants to party so much, he's even doing it in his sleep. 'Cause that's a party dance he's doing.

She.

[The correction is so automatic, he doesn't even realize he's doing it.]

A party dance, that? It just looks like she's moving that log around and jumping in a circle.

Do Abras usually start shaking and jumping like this, though? I haven't seen many, but they always looked calm to me.

That pretty much describes every party dance ever. Move around and jump in a circle. Mobs can't handle complex thought or choreography.

...As an individual that I assume possesses both talent and intelligence, she could do better, if she really wants to dance. It's not like she'S trying to get the rest of my team to join in.

[thedifferencebetween]

Hey, don't dance shame your Pokemon! She wants to shake it like a moron, let her!

Video

[captainash]

Sure, why not. I mean, she's asleep anyway, so she won't feel shame even if she looks like I should be calling an ambulance instead, right?

Re: Video

Is moving and jumping that much more strange than teleporting, though?

[captainash]

...Is it strange that my first thought was 'For a Psychic-type, it would be'? She's not even one herself.
