AG088: Difference between revisions

Inside, they notice that trees are oddly stripped bare of any bananas. Max also gets disappointed at the lack of Slakoth. Suddenly, a big, loud rumbling shakes the forest, scaring them out of their wits. Then a few more pounds tremble the earth under them, just when the ground begins to crack. Fortunately, a young man, [[Marcel]], comes running to their rescue, escorting them to the reception office. He explains to them that the place is closed temporarily because of some recent troubles. After the rumbling calms down, he shows them to a window, and right outside they see a sleeping {{p|Snorlax}}. May looks it up in the [[Pokédex]], and Marcel explains that the Snorlax has been terrorizing the Slakoth and eating all the bananas. A lot of the Slakoth have either run away or have been hiding in fear without even a chance to eat the bananas, because of that Snorlax. Brock points out that Snorlax usually live up in the mountains, not in foothill areas like the garden. Marcel remembers that a large building project began a month ago, and considers whether that is the reason for Snorlax's unannounced appearance. Ash adds that he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{AP|Snorlax}} [[EP094|in the past]], but it's currently at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. Marcel tears up as the group volunteers to help him save the Slakoth and take care of the troublesome Snorlax. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} peer through their binoculars, watching the sleeping Snorlax. After {{MTR}} suggests they gift the Snorlax to {{an|Giovanni|their Boss}}, the trio set their sights on catching the rare find.

Back at the office, Marcel shows them the security cameras he has placed in the garden, as Ash and the others keep an eye on the sleeping Snorlax. Ash feels confident enough to battle Snorlax and maybe help get rid of it by capturing it in a [[Poké Ball]]. Suddenly, Max notices on the screen that Snorlax is now wide awake, and feasting away on the bananas. Ash rushes outside to find it and challenge it, while the others follow. As Snorlax nears the area where the Slakoth are taking cover, Ash finds it and demands it to stop, and when it doesn't, he threatens to capture it. It doesn't seem to care as it just continues eating, so Ash has {{AP|Pikachu}} try his {{m|Thunder}} attack, but Snorlax keeps snacking on banana bunches as if nothing happened. While Max and Brock are paying attention to the attack, all May seems to notice is that her precious bananas are still being eaten, to which Max and Brock sigh in disappointment. Ash tries having Pikachu strike with his {{m|Iron Tail}}, but it seems to have caused no damage at all. Just then, Snorlax leans back with its mouth open. Brock warns Ash that Snorlax is about to counter with {{m|Yawn}}. Ash is clueless, but before he can ask, Snorlax releases many pink bubbles that hit Ash and Pikachu and they both collapse on the ground, having been put to {{status|sleep}}. As the others try to shake Ash awake, Snorlax's Yawn bubbles also hit them, and they drift off as well. Snorlax returns to its slumber.
