Plot

Pon relaxing in a field.

Pon is laying in a field with a spilled box of dog food next to him. He looks up to the sky, where a bird passes over. He looks over at the clouds, seeing one that's shaped like dog food. Then, a Cho-shaped cloud flies by, and Pon is struck with lightning.

Proverb

"A bolt from the blue."

Pon runs across the screen twice, narrowly avoiding lightning strikes.

Explanation

Literally: Thunderclap from the blue sky.

The sun is out, the sky is blue, it's beautiful, and ZAP... out of nowhere, a bolt of lightning—you are caught completely off your guard. Yes, anyone can be hit any time, anywhere by the totally unexpected. Look at Pon, he thought he had it made: he would just kick back in the bright sunshine, without a care in the world, and leisurely munch on his favorite snack. But, as you and I know, he got a lot more than he bargained for.
