Wynaut.

0:00So what if I told you there's a Pokémon that has never once stopped smiling, and the only way to know it's hurting is to look behind it?

0:03This is Wynaut.

0:05Look at its face.

0:08That smile is there when it's eating.

0:11It's there when it's fighting.

0:14It's there when it's asleep.

0:16You will never, in its entire life, catch it without one.

0:19And people take that at face value.

0:22They think it's fine, because it looks, well...

0:25fine, because it's always looked happy and content.

0:27But it actually isn't always fine.

0:30If you want to know what Wynaut is actually feeling, don't look at the smile.

0:33Look at the TAIL.

0:35When it's angry, when it's had enough, when something is wrong, the face doesn't change at all.

0:38The tail comes down and slaps the ground.

0:41That's it.

0:44That's Wynaut's whole tell.

0:46A little black tail hitting the dirt while the face above it keeps smiling at you.

0:49And here's the thing about how it gets strong.

0:52Wynaut can't throw a punch.

0:55It doesn't learn a single attack of its own.

0:57Not one.

1:00Everything Wynaut knows how to do is take a hit and give it back.

1:03Somebody has to hurt it first.

1:05Then it returns exactly what it was given.

1:08And it trains for that by squeezing in with the others on moonlit nights, pressed up against each other in a cave, taking the pressure, getting tougher, learning to hold it and hand it back.

1:11So think about what kind of thing that is.

1:14A Pokémon that can't strike first.

1:16That only ever answers.

1:19That smiles through all of it and only lets it show in a place most people never look.

1:22You know someone like that.

1:25Maybe you are someone like that.

1:27The one everyone assumes is okay, because you always look okay, because you never hit first, because the only sign is something small you do when you think nobody's watching.
