not even five minutes into episode 2 of pokeani 2019 and we have learned:

• ash is literally incapable of getting up in the morning without the help of several people, especially if he’s too excited for something and stays up late because of it
• that alarm clock delia canonically waited in line 5 hours to get him has been broken three times now and she has, presumably, replaced it each time despite herself
• this happens because ash sleep-battles so consistently that when he feels something round in his hands he cannot resist the urge to throw it, despite literally being unconscious
• in the past, we’ve seen that pikachu can wake him up by electrocuting him. this doesn’t work anymore. he sleeps through BEING ELECTROCUTED.
• pikachu and delia have to fucking double team ash to get him to wake up
• ash, despite all this, insists to his dear sweet mother that he is perfectly capable of waking up on his own, thank you.

i love one twerp.
