Story 24

Zzzzz...

Zzzzz... ZZZZZ...

Hey, (your name)! Yo, you got a second?

So, uh...I literally just noticed this, but...
I’m hearin’ some really weird noises coming from over that way.

What do you think’s making ’em, yo?

I’m really interested in weird noises, y’know? But um... It’s always more fun to do things with friends, so...
Why don’t you come check out where the noises are comin’ from with me, (your name)?

Thanks, yo! It’ll totally be reassuring to have you around, (your name)!
N-not that I was too scared to go alone or anything!
I’ll be followin’ right behind you! Lead us over to where the noises are comin’ from!

Wh-what?! I’m not scared, yo!
I just thought that, y’know...you might be curious about it too, (your name)!
And, uh... Maybe you wouldn’t mind leading the way, either?
I’ll be followin’ right behind you! Lead us over to where the noises are comin’ from!

I think those weird noises are comin’ from over this way, yo...

Zzz...

Zzz... ZZZ...

The noises are gettin’ louder, yo! We must be close!

Zzzzzzzzz...

Zzzzz... ZZZZZ!

Those noises are really loud now! We must be super close!

The noises sound really close now, yo!

Where exactly do you think they’re comin’ from, though? Maybe someone’s hidin’ nearby and making weird noises?

Zzz... ZZZ... Zzz...

Zzzzz... ZZZZZ!

A moss-covered Snorlax is sleeping peacefully!

Yooo! So those weird sounds were the snores of this sleeping Snorlax?

It’s all thanks to you, (your name)! I sure feel silly for gettin’ all scared!

I-I told you I wasn’t scared, yo! But, uh...yeah, still totally thanks to you, (your name)!

But, yooo... This Snorlax is totally covered in moss... More like “Mosslax,” am I right? Heh.

D’you think they’ve been sleepin’ here so long that all this moss had time to just naturally grow on ’em?

Either way, this loud snorin’ is pretty disruptive...
I think we’d better wake ’em up, but that might not be easy...

Oh, I know!
We can ask Professor Tangrowth! I bet they’ll know how to wake up a sleepin’ Snorlax! Let’s go ask together, yo!

I really hope we can wake up Mosslax, yo. Well, I actually just wanna stop the snorin’, but, y’know... Yeah...

Let’s go ask Professor Tangrowth if they know any way to wake up a sleepin’ Snorlax!

Oh, (your name) and Trubbish! I’ve been hearing the oddest noises for a while now.
I don’t suppose you two know something about that?

That’s Mosslax’s snorin’, yo! They’re a Snorlax who’s been sleepin’ so long they’re all covered in moss!
(your name) and I found ’em!

What?! A mossy Snorlax? Now you’ve certainly caught my attention!

And I was totally the first one to notice the sounds, yo.

Hmmm... I can’t draw any conclusions until I’ve seen this Snorlax for myself.

I hate to put you out of your way, but please, take me to that Snorlax!

Hey! I’m bored. Mind if I tag along?

It’s always more fun to go places with friends, yo!

That’s quite true! Let’s all go together, shall we?

Thanks a bunch! All right, let’s hit the trail!

Imagine sleeping so long, you wake up covered in moss... That’s gotta be the comfiest nap spot EVER!

Yo... D’you think moss tastes good?

Could you please take me to see Snorlax?

If they’ve been sleeping for as long as you say...
Perhaps they remember something from when the humans were here.

Hm? This is the Snorlax you mentioned?

There’s so much stuff in the way, I can’t really see...

Oho! That’s one mossy Snorlax, all right.
And some awfully impressive snoring...

I love my naps as much as the next ’mon, but this is some next-level napping!

Yes... It’s well known that once a Snorlax falls asleep, they don’t wake up easily.
But I’ve never heard of one sleeping so long that they get completely covered in moss!
I have to imagine their body would grow weak after going all this time without eating...

How d’you think we can wake ’em up, yo?

Don’t most folks naturally wake up when the sun comes out? I mean, nighttime is playtime for me, but...

Oho! That’s it, Meowth!

Huh? What’d I say?

I believe the reason Snorlax won’t wake up is because this town is simply too dark!
So dark, in fact, they can’t even tell night from day! And that’s why they’re still sleeping! Probably!

Yeah! That makes sense! You have the most professory ideas, yo!

And I give the best hints!

Which leads us to...(your name)!
If at all possible, I’d like you to brighten up this town.
If we can wake a Pokémon who’s been sleeping for such an incredibly long time...
Maybe we can hear more about when humans were still around!

As for Meowth and Trubbish, could you two please do what you can to assist (your name)?
If you all work together, I’m sure you can succeed!

I kinda like it dark, but how could I not return the favor after (your name) helped me out so much?

I’ll totally help out too if it’ll stop this snorin’!
