'''Wake Up--You’re Snorlax!''' (Japanese: '''VSカビゴン''' ''VS. {{tt|Kabigon|Snorlax}}'') is the twelfth round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.
'''Wake Up—You're Snorlax!''' (Japanese: '''VS カビゴン''' ''VS {{tt|Kabigon|Snorlax}}'') is the 12th chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.


==Synopsis==
==Plot==
Red takes part in a bike race along {{rt|11|Kanto}}, having borrowed a bicycle from the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]], but when it starts, he finds himself far behind everyone. However, he catches up when everyone stops at a river filled with {{p|Tentacruel}}, forcing the cyclists to cross one at a time -- all except for a [[Swimmer]] who informs him that Pokémon are allowed to be used in the race. Watching the Swimmer get across on his {{p|Slowpoke}} gives Red an idea, and sends out [[Poli]] in order to make a bridge of ice using {{m|Ice Beam}}, allowing Red to gain considerable ground.
{{spoilers}}
On {{rt|11|Kanto}}, {{adv|Red}} and several other cyclists line up for a bicycle race. [[Chairtarō]] elaborates the route, indicating it's an easy course on well-marked roads, at least, besides something he gestures to on the map, but neglects to elaborate on, saying that some things should stay a surprise.  


Reaching a fork, Red finds the other cyclists opting to go the longer way instead of a shorter route through a forest infested by {{t|Bug}} Pokémon. Ignoring the warning of a {{tc|Bug Catcher}}, Red decides to keep his lead by going through the forest, by having his [[Pika]] shock all of the wild Pokémon and [[Saur]] cut through the thick brush. Suddenly, a {{p|Beedrill}} hive falls on Bulbasaur's head, and Red finds himself fleeing from the ensuing Beedrill swarm. Eventually, Red trundles out of the forest, wincing from Beedrill stings but nevertheless far ahead, at which he and his Pokémon rejoice.
A countdown sends the cyclists off, Red quickly falling into last, struggling to get up any speed. He wants to get the first place prize to make up for the fee he had to pay to enter the race, and starts to regret having exchanged a [[Bike Voucher]] he got from the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]] for a bicycle. He considers dropping out, until he notices lots of other cyclists stopped up ahead, gathering together in a large group. It's revealed the hold up is caused by the cyclists having to cross a narrow bridge one at a time over a river filled with {{p|Tentacruel}}. A participating {{tc|Swimmer}} stands proud, letting Red know that it's more than just a race, it's also an obstacle course, and in situations like these you can use your own Pokémon, as he crosses the river on his {{p|Slowpoke}}.


At {{rt|12|Kanto}}, Red finds the Swimmer and the Bug Catcher stuck at the dock, unable to continue due to a {{p|Snorlax}} blocking the way ahead. Red tries getting Poli to attack Snorlax, but the attack fails; the Swimmer and Bug Catcher point out that Snorlax would simply {{m|Rest}} off any attack thrown at it. Coming up with a plan, Red uses the Beedrill honey still coating his Bulbasaur to rouse Snorlax from his sleep -- as a result, the awoken Snorlax chases after Red for the honey all the way to the finish line; the sight shocking the announcer and onlookers. Some time later, Red mopes over how the 10,000 dollars he won in the race had to be all spent on his newly caught Snorlax...
With newfound confidence, Red calls out [[Poli]], commanding him to create a bridge using {{m|Ice Beam}}, allowing him to quickly bike to the other side. Reaching a fork, Red finds the other cyclists opting to go the longer way instead of a shorter route through a thick forest. Ignoring the warning of a {{tc|Bug Catcher}} that the forest is infested with {{type|Bug}}s, Red decides to keep his lead by going through anyways. Full speed ahead, [[Pika]] uses his electricity as they ride through the forest to knock out all the [[wild Pokémon]] they come across. Red commands [[Saur]] to use {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut through the thick foliage, but as they ride through, a {{p|Beedrill}} hive falls on Saur's head, drawing the anger of several Beedrill that begin to chase after them. As Red exits the forest, he reminds himself that every shortcut has a big cost, him and his Pokémon covered in stings.
 
In high spirits after seeing how far ahead they are after passing through the forest, Red begins the last leg of the race. Chairtarō announces that a Swimmer and Bug Catcher are currently in first and second, with Red being a surprising third. He wonders who will win the first place prize, being Pokémon items along with 10,000 dollars.
 
Reaching the fishing pier on {{rt|12|Kanto}}, the two competitors ahead of Red have their path blocked by a massive dark mass, presuming it to be impassible. Red arrives, and realizes it's a slumbering {{p|Snorlax}}, and commits to having to catch it to be able to get past it, knowing how hard they are to wake up. Poli tries to attack the sleeping Pokémon several times, but simply bounces off its flesh each time. The Swimmer muses that the only thing that will wake up a Snorlax is food, giving Red an idea, asking it if it wants a snack.
 
Snorlax weakly opens its eyes and looks down at Red, as he picks up his {{p|Bulbasaur}}, still coated in Beedrill honey. The smell wafts through the air as Snorlax begins to drool. Back at the finish line, Chairtarō says he can see people approaching, but can't yet make out who. He invites some cheers for the prospective winners, until he realizes it's not a bike, it's Red being chased by a very hungry Snorlax, which collapses on top of Red just as he makes it over the finish line. Later, his Pokémon celebrate the victory and the prize [[HM]] they won, as Red bemoans having to spend every last dollar on food for his Snorlax.

201

On Route 11, Red and several other cyclists line up for a bicycle race. Chairtarō elaborates the route, indicating it's an easy course on well-marked roads, at least, besides something he gestures to on the map, but neglects to elaborate on, saying that some things should stay a surprise.

A countdown sends the cyclists off, Red quickly falling into last, struggling to get up any speed. He wants to get the first place prize to make up for the fee he had to pay to enter the race, and starts to regret having exchanged a Bike Voucher he got from the Pokémon Fan Club Chairman for a bicycle. He considers dropping out, until he notices lots of other cyclists stopped up ahead, gathering together in a large group. It's revealed the hold up is caused by the cyclists having to cross a narrow bridge one at a time over a river filled with Tentacruel. A participating Swimmer stands proud, letting Red know that it's more than just a race, it's also an obstacle course, and in situations like these you can use your own Pokémon, as he crosses the river on his Slowpoke.

With newfound confidence, Red calls out Poli, commanding him to create a bridge using Ice Beam, allowing him to quickly bike to the other side. Reaching a fork, Red finds the other cyclists opting to go the longer way instead of a shorter route through a thick forest. Ignoring the warning of a Bug Catcher that the forest is infested with Bug-types, Red decides to keep his lead by going through anyways. Full speed ahead, Pika uses his electricity as they ride through the forest to knock out all the wild Pokémon they come across. Red commands Saur to use Razor Leaf to cut through the thick foliage, but as they ride through, a Beedrill hive falls on Saur's head, drawing the anger of several Beedrill that begin to chase after them. As Red exits the forest, he reminds himself that every shortcut has a big cost, him and his Pokémon covered in stings.

In high spirits after seeing how far ahead they are after passing through the forest, Red begins the last leg of the race. Chairtarō announces that a Swimmer and Bug Catcher are currently in first and second, with Red being a surprising third. He wonders who will win the first place prize, being Pokémon items along with 10,000 dollars.

Reaching the fishing pier on Route 12, the two competitors ahead of Red have their path blocked by a massive dark mass, presuming it to be impassible. Red arrives, and realizes it's a slumbering Snorlax, and commits to having to catch it to be able to get past it, knowing how hard they are to wake up. Poli tries to attack the sleeping Pokémon several times, but simply bounces off its flesh each time. The Swimmer muses that the only thing that will wake up a Snorlax is food, giving Red an idea, asking it if it wants a snack.

Snorlax weakly opens its eyes and looks down at Red, as he picks up his Bulbasaur, still coated in Beedrill honey. The smell wafts through the air as Snorlax begins to drool. Back at the finish line, Chairtarō says he can see people approaching, but can't yet make out who. He invites some cheers for the prospective winners, until he realizes it's not a bike, it's Red being chased by a very hungry Snorlax, which collapses on top of Red just as he makes it over the finish line. Later, his Pokémon celebrate the victory and the prize HM they won, as Red bemoans having to spend every last dollar on food for his Snorlax.
