Pokemon fans are some of the most dedicated bunch out there, and one fan's dedication to getting a large Snorlax cushion from the United States to the United Kingdom has gone viral.

Pokemon fan Callum Underwood cataloged a long, hilarious journey to get his large Snorlax cushion through various airports and continents on Twitter, and it's quite a trip.

First noting his incredible purchase on Twitter, Underwood asked fans for any ideas as to how to get his huge new Snorlax cushion to the United Kingdom from his friend's place in the United States without spending an exorbitant amount of money, "It's going to cost $1000 to ship here to the UK. The box is fucking massive, and weighs 16.80 lbs. Any creative solutions for getting it back from San Francisco to UK?"

The thread goes on to detail the first leg of the journey from San Francisco to Atlanta, but the Snorlax was stopped in Dallas. Thankfully it was shipped from the airport to his hotel in Atlanta, and the massive package was accepted at the Atlanta airport. Though it was not without its problems.

Thankfully, after TSA inspected the giant cushion it made its way onto Underwood's flight home to London, but the state of the box it arrived in was much worse for wear. Snorlax seemed to take quite a beating in the journey.

Luckily, Underwood unwrapped Snorlax in the comfort of its new home and seems to have arrived without any notable problems other than the fact it's going to take a bit to expand into its massive default size fully.

The full Tweet thread can be read here, as it catalogs every step of Snorlax's wild ride through the United States and the United Kingdom. It goes to show just how dedicated some fans can be when it comes to great Pokemon merchandise. It's hard to argue when the alternative is so expensive.

If you're itching for more Pokemon right now, the first five seasons of the anime series are currently being streamed on Twitch for a special holiday marathon. Beginning on Thanksgiving Day and running until December 3, taking a break until it picks back up on Christmas Eve, you can find out more details and check out the marathon for yourself at the link here.
