What happens when a Pikachu begins to deflate mid-dance performance? Well, at the Pokémon World Festival 2017 in Songdo, South Korea, that Pikachu promptly gets carried off stage.
In a video that took the internet by storm Friday, multiple staff members can be seen swarming the deflating Pikachu and dragging it off the stage. (Yes, there is a person inside that inflatable costume.) The rest of the Pikachus continue dancing to Hairspray's "Can't Stop the Beat."
