The text is a joke about abilities.

Also are we 100% positive that that's the actual artist's name, and the part in () isn't just a status update?

Please don't use Japanese in tags.

I'm not good in romanization of Japanese, but the page of the artist is here: www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=58150

I was just letting it stand until someone who knows how to read japanese names better than me came along. My best guess is "kanai_maya" but I'd be more confident betting on a coin flip.
The name is
哉井まや
Followed by what seems to be less a deliberate part of their name than a note: (骨折しました)

In recent games there are always-on "abilities". Kangaskhan has <<bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Parental_Bond_%28Ability%29|Parental Bond>> which can boost damage, and Hypno may have the <<bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Insomnia_%28Ability%29|Insomnia>> ability, which prevents being put to sleep.
The joke is that Hypno is forcibly swapping abilities.

One of hypno abilities is insomnia.

There is an attack called "Skill Swap" that makes the user exchange Abilities with the target, and hypno can learn this attack via breeding.

It's using that attack against a mega kangaskan, and the artist illustrated the effect as him hypnotizing the baby kangaskan to fight at his side against the mother.

OH ok I didn't know he could learn Skill Swap so I didn't get why the Khan would've got Insomnia.
