The Pokemon franchise has been going for over 25 years, and it's produced a wide variety of cute, colorful, and sometimes concerning creatures during that time. Pokemon have been based on real-life animals, cultural sayings, the forces of nature, and even inanimate objects, and these origins often inform the way they interact with the player--and each other. One Pokemon fan recently took note of this when they created a piece of fan art that shows a Drifloon kidnapping a Natu.
Drifloon is a dual-type Ghost/Flying Pokemon introduced in the Gen 4 games as an inhabitant of the Sinnoh region. It resembles a purple balloon with a stylized face, a cloud-like puff on top of its head, and two long, dangling arms. Natu, meanwhile, is a small, round, green, birdlike Psychic/Flying Pokemon introduced all the way back in Gen 2.
Although Drifloon and Natu are both Flying-type, Drifloon is perpetually shown drifting through the air in Pokemon media while Natu tends to keep its feet firmly on the ground. Redditor Vxcl concluded that Natu might need some help getting into the sky and created a virtual figure of Drifloon carrying Natu in its arms. The figure, made in Blender, depicts a very round Drifloon flying off with a startled-looking Natu. In the accompanying text, Vxcl states that Drifloon is taking Natu on a trip.
While viewers may find this scene adorable, some fans appear to be concerned about Drifloon's intentions. Although it's known by the non-threatening title of "The Balloon Pokemon," Drifloon--like many other Ghost-type Pokemon--has a more sinister element. According to the Pokedex in the Gen 2 remake games, children who mistake Drifloon for a balloon and hold onto its arms may go missing, a statement that the Gen 6 Pokedex entries back up. In Pokemon Sun, the Pokedex goes so far as to accuse Drifloon of spiriting children away to the afterlife and notes that the Pokemon appears to dislike heavy kids.
Although some users expressed fear about Natu's fate, other Pokedex entries appear to clear Drifloon's name. Back in the original Pokemon Pearl, it was mentioned that Drifloon tugs on the hands of children to steal them away, but the Pokemon is so light that it ends up getting pulled around instead. Pokemon Sword's Pokedex entry notes that playing too roughly with Drifloon will cause it to run away. Furthermore, the Pokedex is known to be mean to certain Pokemon or spread outright false information at times, as seen in the Pokedex entries for Magikarp. Odds are that Natu will be completely fine.
