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!

"Hmm..." Umbar presses a finger to his chin, thoughtful. "My ability to speak developed over many, many years of learning to control my vocal cords... Though it was helped by the ability to transform into a human form and remember the feel of the language. Usually, I would say it'd be very difficult for you to learn... However!" Umbar smiles. "You've been given the ability to speak human by magic, which may give you an advantage. Though I don't know how exactly it works for you... I think if you begin to practice, focusing on how talking the language feels, in your throat and your mouth, you may be able to re-learn the skill much faster than the average Pokemon once you return home."

Umbar pauses. "Was that a bit much, all at once? I hope I didn't get too carried away."

Evie listens attentively. "I get it!" she exclaims in delight. "Practice makes perfect!"

"Good!" Umbar says. "Well then, I hope you'll be diligent in practicing. I'd love nothing more than to see you succeed in learning human language!"

Privately, a part of Umbar doubts it, but he doesn't show it on the outside. He's lived long enough to know nothing is impossible if you think it's possible. And he really hopes Evie will pull it off.

He then turns to Gold. "Well then, should we get going? We need to look for Silver, after all."

"Oh, yeah!" Gold says. "It was nice meeting you, Evie, but we gotta go!"

"I'm going to start right now, while I look for Radley!" Evie declared. "I hope you find Silver!"

"Thanks! I hope you find Radley, too!" Gold says. He and Umbar wave at Evie, before Gold recalls Umbar and heads off (and probably gets blocked by another Snorlax ten minutes later).
