EVENT: Snoring Snorlax!

Turnbloom City is quite a nice place with friendly faces and areas to explore but isn’t it about time to go beyond the city limits? Unfortunately–...

It looks like the exits are blocked by not one but many Snorlax! It seems no one can go in or out of Turnbloom. This is a serious issue as Snorlax are known for their hibernating nature. There’s no way people can get any deliveries in or out of the city either.

What is there to do?

Maybe…there’s a way to make these groups of Snorlax to move? Time to investigate!

[At the entrance of the Rainbow Plaza there's a crowd of people. Unsurprisingly a Snorlax blocked the entrance preventing both guests and staff from entering. Said Snorlax seemed to have some kind of sign that hung around its neck.

Right in front of that Snorlax, on an elevated platform that was most definitely not present the previous day stood Lear. A good sized crowd of onlookers surrounded him out of curiosity as he held out a megaphone in hand. Raising it up to his mouth, Lear's announcement began.]

ATTENTION! Ash of Pallet Town, if you are here that is, come collect your Snorlax this instant!

[There's a soft murmuring from the crowd, as their eyes were now back towards the Snorlax that lightly scratched his stomach in his sleep.]

You best hurry as your Snorlax is obstructing this facility's entrance!

[Today started off pretty weirdly for Ash, as waking up to finding out there are Snorlax blocking the roadways was not exactly what he's expecting. What he also didn't expect while walking down the street is hearing his own name being called out.]

...Huh? A Snorlax?

[That really catches his attention. Whatever plans he has for today is put on hold as he decides to follow the source of the voice. Soon enough he arrives to find a familiar face standing on a platform.]

...Lear? You're here too?

[Well! What do you know? His plan really did work, and Ash was around to boot. A confident smirk formed as he lowered the megaphone down finding no need to use it as he spoke down to Ash, literally.]

It's about time that you showed up.

[He's placing one hand onto his hip while looking down at the younger trainer (also literal). He seemed no different from when Lear had last seen Ash back in Pasio.]

Now that you're here, hurry up and do something about that Snorlax this instant!

[Is Lear asking for help with the Snorlax problem? He doesn't mind. The moment Ash turns his attention to the Snorlax behind Lear, it's clearly having a good sleep right now despite being at a rather inconvenient spot.

...But it's only when Ash took a close look when he notices something familiar about this particular Snorlax.]

Wait a second... is that...

[Well shoot, it is.]

Snorlax!?

[He looks at his Pokemon with his mouth agape, then he turns to look at the crowd behind him and the realization quickly hits Ash. Immediately, he and his Pikachu both sprint towards Snorlax's side and attempt to get Sleeping Pokemon to budge.]

Snorlax! C'mon buddy, wake up! You're blocking the way right now!

[Snorlax meanwhile had a hand made sign with Delia Ketchum's distinct handwriting displayed on it, hanging from his neck. It clearly read "Go Ash! Win the Masters 8!". Not minding any of Ash's attempts to wake it, Snorlax happily snored away.

Lear watched Ash's poor attempt to move Snorlax before shaking his head.]

What? Don't tell me you don't know nothing can wake a Snorlax with any normal means.

[Stepping off from the platform he'll make his way right up to Ash.]

Besides that, don't you have a Pokeball for that Snorlax of yours? Unless...you went out of your way to befriend a wild one?

[Ash does notice the sign and oh gosh oh no that's his Mom's handwriting... Mom why... He starts to feel a bit red, but quickly tries to shake it off as he has more pressing matters in front of him.

Lear's right however, as experience as shown him, a Snorlax won't wake up really easily. He steps back and frowns whilst trying to figure out how to get it to move.]

Mmm, maybe some food would help. It gets really energetic once it smells food nearby.

[Ash then glances at Lear and shakes his head.]

Nope, I left Snorlax's Pokeball at Professor Oak's. I didn't bring it along with me in the first place.

[Lear had noticed that sign alright, and it was thanks to that sign he was easily able to put together who this Snorlax belonged to. Crossing his arms he's staring at Snorlax who had absolutely no worries in the world.]

Hmm...so we aren't the only ones to be drifted here....

[He's mumbling to himself. Returning his attention to Ash, there's a frown on his lips.]

That would only be a temporary solution, wouldn't it? A Snorlax can't exactly fit inside of all the buildings around this city. There's no telling how things are beyond that.

[These are good concerns Lear! However...]

We can worry about that later, Lear! Right now, Snorlax needs to wake up and move!

[Ash looks around, trying to figure out what could get his Pokemon moving. Is he looking panicked? A little, but that's only because he's well aware he's causing trouble for the people right now.]

[Lear hadn't expected such a panicked reaction from Ash, let alone seeing how rash he was acting. Yet he realized he was still young. No doubt the crowd who formed to observe Snorlax wasn't helping either.

A sigh escaped him, not particularly being a fan of having to deal with a worried Ash.]

Hahaha! It's fitting that you have no solution at hand!

[He will then dramatically gesture to the platform that was still set out.]

Hoopa, make it rain with doughnuts!

[There's a sound of puzzlement and surprise from the crowd when Hoopa's ring formed above the platform as piles of sugar doughnuts landed onto the platform. He then turned to Ash giving an expectant look from the young trainer.]

Well? What are you waiting for? It is your Snorlax isn't it?

[WOAH!!! That's a lot of doughnuts!!! Both Ash and Pikachu look at the pile in complete surprise.]

[And after Lear finishes speaking, it's then Ash realized what Lear was actually doing. Just like back in Pasio, it was Lear who helped him out yet again, and is feeling super grateful about it. He beams at the pair.]

Thanks Lear! You too, Hoopa! You're both amazing!

[Now with Snorlax's meal at the ready, Ash grabs a piece of doughnut and approaches his Sleeping Pokemon in his attempt to awaken it. Once he's close enough, he reaches towards Snorlax's head and waves the doughnut in hopes of it catching the sweet scent of a freshly baked sugar doughnut.]

C'mon Snorlax, there's some doughnuts for you if you wake up and move over!

[While Lear doesn't respond to Ash's gratitude, Hoopa however appeared next to him grinning wide. He'll glance over to his Pokemon and back to Ash who was currently trying to tempt his Snorlax up.

Said Snorlax began to take a whiff of the doughnut in his sleep. His mouth opens wide first until Ash's voice registers into his sleepy ears. Slowly raising into a sitting position Snorlax glanced around from the people around them, to Ash, and then to the doughnut in Ash's hand.

Immediately Snorlax threw it's arms up and let out a loud roar.]

Snooooooooor!

[In an instant, Snorlax rose up to his feet before making a dive for his trainer. Lear at the sight reeled back, not having expected that from Snorlax.]

[Hey it worked! Snorlax is finally waking up! He throws his arms open ready to embrace it-]

[Waaaait a sec did it just jump? Why did Snorlax jump? Why is it now right above him-]

[OH NO OH HECK SNORLAX IS RIGHT ABOVE HIM ABORT MISSION

But alas, before Ash could even begin to sprint, he was immediately crushed by the weight of Snorlax's body.]

Augh...

[At least for Pikachu he was quick enough to get away from that. However he immediately returns to Ash's side after Snorlax lands onto the young trainer.]

Pikapi...!

[Stunned silence followed the moment Ash was crushed by Snorlax. Lear regaining his senses immediately made his way over.]

Get off this instance! What are you trying to do, crush your trainer!?

[Snorlax however seemed to pay no mind to Lear before raising back up, but this time lifting Ash up with ease into one of his arms. Lear is watching in clear shock as Snorlax's sight was now on the stack of doughnuts that had been left out.

A Snorlax on a mission was immediately stomping towards the doughnuts, not caring who or what was in the way, one of them being: Lear.]

Ack! No, no, no-!

[He's reeling at the thought of getting trampled until Hoopa quickly tugged Lear out of Snorlax's way.]

Edited (FORGOT TO CHOOSE MY ICON aksjfks) 2022-09-03 17:12 (UTC)

[Pikachu follows behind Snorlax, still concerned for Ash. Luckily Ash recovers pretty quickly and notices that he's being carried away by Snorlax. But upon seeing Lear standing in Snorlax's path, he panics for a moment and shifts his gaze towards his Pokemon.]

Snorlax, stop! You're gonna hit Lear!

[He starts gesturing Snorlax to stop running, hoping the Pokemon listens to his commands.]

[Snorlax kept making a mad dash for the doughnuts clearly enamored by the stacks of food in front of it. Unfortunately, Ash's command doesn't register. All that was on Snorlax's mind was the stack of doughnuts that was almost within reach.

Lear is still stunned at how fast Snorlax was moving even as his partner Pokemon appeared in front of him, clearly upset at Snorlax.]

Hoopa, hoopa!

[Hoopa began to fuss.]

[While relieved to see Lear's out of harm's way, Snorlax is still running towards its meal that Lear and Hoopa laid out for it. Fortunately there aren't any more people in its way, so Ash lets out a sigh and looks up to his friend.]

I bet you're hungry right now, huh? [Ash pats on Snorlax.] Alright!

[He then points at the doughnut pile.]

Okay Snorlax, go get those doughnuts! Full steam ahead!

Snoooooor!

[Ash's Snorlax let out a happy roar as it bolted for the pile of doughnuts. It's practically shoving any, and all doughnuts the moment they were within his reach. Lear made a face, as he cringed at the sight of the Snorlax shoveling food down.]

Eugh...like trainer, like Pokemon.

[In an instant the huge pile of doughnuts were gone as if they were never there to begin with. Satisfied, Snorlax gave a yawn. Lear realizing where this was going immediately spoke up.]

Wait a minute, you don't seriously intend to sleep here do you?!

[...Oh right, Snorlax do that huh.]

Ah...

[Is all he could say, as he sure as heck knows Snorlax won't be waking up until... well... it feels like eating again.]

...At least the road's wide enough for people to pass through!

[LOOK AT THE BRIGHT SIDE LEAR!!]

[Just this face, Ash.]

Hmph, and how are you going to solve your other glaring issue with your Snorlax?

[Lear's giving a pointed look to the younger trainer.

Snorlax? Snorlax meanwhile is getting comfortable up on the platform. Why is it there?? Ooh it's so comfy, nyam nyam. So sleepy. Zzzz]

[Once Snorlax settles down on the platform, Ash hops off from Snorlax. It's going to be sleeping for a while, so there's no reason for him to hang around in its arms.]

Hmm, good question.

[Now that his Snorlax is here, how will Ash carry it around? He already has six Pokemon with him, and Snorlax's Pokeball is back at Oak's lab. That sure is a problem.]
