why is it that the message in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon for when an ability causes a new enemy to spawn is "<pokemon> blinked!"?

this is a serious question, where did they get that from

@Felthry Isn't "blink" sometimes the name for short-range teleport in fantasy settings? Maybe that's why?

@BatElite Honestly I'm kind of wondering if it's a message that's identical to one in non-pokemon Mystery Dungeon games and makes more sense in that context; we know nothing about those games
