EVENT: Snoring Snorlax!

[ulternnpc]

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!

[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.]

2/2

[goingallout]

[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!

[princeofpasio]

[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-]

[goingallout]

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

3/3

[goingallout]

[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...!

[princeofpasio]

[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.]

[goingallout]

[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.]

[princeofpasio]

[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.]

[goingallout]

[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!

[princeofpasio]

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?!

[goingallout]

[...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!!]

1/2

[princeofpasio]

[Just this face, Ash.]

[princeofpasio]

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]

1/2

[goingallout]

[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.]

2/2

[goingallout]

[And then, wearing a confident look on his face, he answers to Lear.]

...I don't know!

[A grin.]

But it'll work out somehow!

[princeofpasio]

[He's making a face at Ash. While the trainer's optimism was commendable, the idea of just leaving Snorlax out in the open wasn't a particularly good idea in Lear's books.]

I suppose we could have Hoopa transport it until a better solution arises. It's better than leaving your Snorlax out here wouldn't you say?

[Plus while people have been accommodating so far in this town, there was no telling if there were anyone like Team Break (or Team Rocket) lurking around, waiting to take someone's Pokemon. It was a thought Lear couldn't simply shake off.]

[goingallout]

[Oh yeah, Hoopa can do stuff like that too! Ash nods.]

You're right, I think that's a good idea!

[It beats sleeping on concrete and further inconveniencing the townsfolk passing by. He then turns to Hoopa.]

Hey Hoopa, can you take Snorlax someplace else? Maybe a place where it can rest comfortably, kinda like Professor Oak's ranch!

[Here's hoping Hoopa has an idea where to put Snorlax! Though Ash has plenty of faith over Hoopa's abilties anyway despite his past experience with antoher one]

1/2

[princeofpasio]

[Professor Oak has a ranch? This is the first time he's hearing of this. Not that he was exactly friends with that Professor. Lear will glance over to Hoopa.]

You can do something as simple as that, can't you?

Hoopa!

[Hoopa lets out a cheer. However--]

2/2

[monologing]

[Out of the blue a sound of a flute fills the area.

Ash's Snorlax who has been sleeping peacefully immediately rises up back up from it's slumber. Not too far from them stood Red, who was playing his Pokeflute. He's here to help!!!]

[goingallout]

[The moment Snorlax quickly rises from its slumber startles Ash.]

Huh? You're awake already?

[It was surprising to see his Snorlax waking up from what seems to be a flute's melody. Knowing neither he nor Lear have any musical instrument on them, Ash turns around to find the source of the music... and spots a very familiar face.]

Is that...

[Isn't that the guy he danced with from last night?]

Red, hey!

[Immediately, both Ash and Pikachu at Red as they beam at him.]

[princeofpasio]

What-!?

[Lear is unable to hide his shock when Snorlax is awake. He's further shocked upon seeing Red's familiar face. Even though something seemed different about him. He glanced to Ash, somehow not surprised the two recognized one another, and back to Red. He's making a face while placing his hands upon his hips.]

Of course you're here as well. Don't tell me-

Snor...

[Lear is cut off from Snorlax's very familiar grumbling. In an instant Snorlax is up letting out a bellow as he's moving to slam his fists down to the ground.]

[monologing]

[Lowering his Pokeflute, Red looked over to Ash in surprise. Oh hey! He waves to the younger trainer before he turned his attention to Lear. He tilted his head, puzzled by the way this flashy individual spoke to him.

Did he know this guy? He was pretty sure he hadn't ran into anyone like him before. He didn't have time to dwell on the thought when Snorlax rose up clearly angry. Red was quick as he held out a Pokeball, to send out one of his Pokemon: his Espeon. Clearly his mind was focused on battling the now angered Snorlax.]

[Bwuh!? Why is Snorlax angry now?]

Snorlax!?
