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!

By a City Exit
Excuse me! Hello there! ...Er, sorry, or should I say, "Ulsai!" I must apologize to disturb your well-earned rest, Mr. Snorlax, but I have an earnest request to make of you. I humbly ask that you rise for just a few moments and seek out a different napping spot, preferably in an area devoid of others.
You see, you happen to be resting directly in front of an exit from this fine city. This is a critical area for foot traffic as people come and go from this place! I don't blame you for this, of course. Even someone as diligent as the great Looker has been known to sometimes catch a nap somewhere where he should not! Nor should you be in danger. I believe most traffic laws have exemptions that protect Snorlax from being persecuted for incidents such as this one. Still, I would like to implore you, as a fellow living creature, to consider my request and comply with it at your earliest convenience! Thank you for your time.
[The Snorlax just lays there, exactly the same as when Looker arrived. It does not appear to have stirred or heard a single word.]
no subject
Boy, it sure brings back memories. He's smiling to himself but the smile dropped when taking notice of Looker. Oh? What's this? Was this his Snorlax?
Curious, Red approached closer until he was standing right next to Looker to stare at the older man.
Hello, good day is this your Pokemon? Would be something a normal person would be asking out loud but instead, Red was just silently pointing at Snorlax with a puzzled look on his face.]
no subject
Hello there, young man! [He sees him point towards the Snorlax.]
Ah, I see now what you're getting at. A young mind is teeming with curiousity, and yours is no exception. Your mind must be teeming with questions regarding that Snorlax and this present situation. So much that you cannot form a single word on this moment!
[He raises a finger sharply.]
We worry not, my young friend! For I happen to be a curious sort myself, and I know everything you need to know. And I will tell you right away, without wasting a single moment. You see, that is a Snorlax. Currently, it is napping in front of this city's exit. In fact, you just missed a stirring speech by yours truly, as I passionately implored this Pokémon to seek out an alternate napping spot! The Snorlax has yet to respond.
[A beat.]
That happens to be all that I know of this matter!
no subject
It definitely was a sleeping Pokemon. Was it a wild one? Red's glancing around trying to find any signs of a trainer, but aside from himself and Looker there seemed to be no one else at the moment.
Pulling away and crossing his arms Red frowned. This sure was a dilemma-]
...oh!
[Red will turn his bag around as he unzipped it. For a surprisingly small bag it was jammed packed with a lot of items. In fact how did a bike fit in there?]
no subject
Hold that pose you two!
[Despite saying that to them, Todd here is pointing his camera directly at the Snorlax.]
That's right, what a great shot!
no subject
First he looked towards the surprisingly voluminous bag wielded by the young boy, eyed widening slightly in surprise as he tried to make out its contents. Now that sure was a bag of wonders! What could he be using it for? Perhaps he wishes to offer the Snorlax a bike as a peace offering? Now that's a strategy that he could not even begin to think of...
And then, before he knows it, a photographer! He sees no reason to deny the boy his request, so Looker does just that. He stands completely in place, mouth open and ready to speak, until the photograph is taken!]
I hope that was sufficient, young man! Luckily, the great Looker happens to be very photogenic! [He just assumes that he was in the shot, if not the focal point of it.] Now, what are you up to, more silent young man? I assume that you have some peace offering preparing to sweeten the deal for our tired friend!
no subject
Red turned his head to look at Looker who was already striking a pose. He couldn't help but think what a professional he was. He heard the snap of the camera mentally slapping himself for not striking some cool pose of his own.
As he was opening his mouth about to ask for another shot, he heard Looker speak to him. Oh, right, right he still had to rummage through his bag. Red smiled up to him, before turning his attention back to his bag. Wow, this kid sure was carrying way too many potions that was sure getting in the way of what he was trying to unearth.]
no subject
Sorry for startling you two. My name's Todd, I'm a photographer as you can see!
[He'll begin to explain as he held his camera up into clear view for the two. He'll then look down to Red who seemed more focus on rummaging through his bag. He was curious what the older trainer was doing but he didn't seem to be listening to him at the moment so Todd looked over to the man.]
Are you two stuck in this town because of Snorlax too? It seems like they're all over this city for some reason. From what I could gather there seemed to be a festival the night before. I wonder if they were all attracted by the food?
no subject
Looker strokes his chin as he listens to the other boy's introduction.]
No need to worry! It takes a lot more than that to startle someone like me! So you're a photographer, I see. Just as I was in the process of deducing!
In any case, my name is... Ah, you may call me Looker. I was hoping to explore more of this lovely area, but it seems the snoozing Snorlax have something else in mind! In any case, I would guess that your theory is not far off the mark! It's as they saw - if you cook it, they will come! "They" being Snorlax, of course. Naturally, they're free to eat and sneeze to their contentment, but it can be an issue when they're blocking the paths used by their fellow living creatures. That's why these negotiations are very important! I just have yet to figure out exactly what Snorlax desires in exchange for its relocation...
no subject
...found it!
[Red beams as he held up what was clearly a Pokeflute in his hand.]
no subject
I guess we could try to tempt them awake with some food...but given that it's multiple Snorlax we're dealing with we'd have to have to pool together a lot of Pokemon food for them.
[He's staring down at his camera in thought but it doesn't last as he's unable to hide his surprise when Red suddenly spoke up. He stared at the object Red held up proudly.]
A flute? I'm not sure how that's going to wake Snorlax up...
