"Snorlax: The Sleeping Pokémon. It needs to eat 400 kilograms of food a day to be satisfied. Once full, it immediately falls into a deep sleep."

Dawn held up her pink Pokédex, staring at the literal mountain of flesh in front of her. The Pokédex's mechanical voice seemed to struggle with the sheer scale of the creature.

"It's my first time seeing one in person!" Dawn said, her eyes wide as she reached out a slender hand to poke Snorlax's round, blue-and-cream belly. Her finger sank inches into the soft, springy fat. "It really is exactly like the Pokédex said. A total big eater!"

"Yeah, this guy is a black hole for calories," Ash laughed, stepping forward to pat his old friend's massive arm. "A year's worth of bananas? For Snorlax, that's just a light lunch!"

"Snorlax~"

The giant Pokémon let out a contented rumble, peeling a whole bunch of bananas in one go and sliding them into its mouth like they were tiny candies. It gave Ash a slow, sleepy wave of its paw, recognizing its Trainer.

"He hasn't changed a bit," Brock noted, observing the Pokémon with a breeder's critical eye. "Actually, judging by the way those rolls are sitting, he's probably packed on a good fifty kilograms since the Johto League!"

"Well, Professor Oak's backyard isn't exactly a place for fasting," Ash replied. "But for a Snorlax, more weight usually means more health. It just makes its Body Slam that much more terrifying."

In what felt like minutes, the entire "Grand Prize" mountain of fruit had vanished, leaving only a massive pile of skins. Ash and Brock exchanged a knowing smile; they still remembered the Orange Islands, where Snorlax had nearly cleared out entire orchards.

"Pika!"

Pikachu, seeing the feast was over, leaped from Ash's shoulder and scrambled up Snorlax's belly, whispering something into its large ear. Snorlax squinted its eyes—its version of a broad smile—and nodded. With a thud that vibrated through the village square, the giant fell onto its back, its belly rising like a soft, fleshy hill.

"Pikapi!" Pikachu began bouncing on the stomach, using the "Thick Fat" as a literal trampoline.

"That looks so fun!" Dawn giggled, watching the yellow mouse get nearly a meter of air with every jump. "Too bad I'm wearing this skirt, or I'd be up there too!"

"Good call," Ash muttered, glancing at her ultra-short hem and nodding firmly. "Safety first."

"Since I can't play, you guys should! Come on out!" Dawn released her team: Piplup, Buneary, and Pachirisu.

Buneary's eyes immediately turned to hearts as she saw her idol, Pikachu, having the time of his life. With Snorlax's lazy permission, the rabbit joined in, her powerful legs sending her even higher than Pikachu. Soon, all four small Pokémon were bouncing in a chaotic, joyful rhythm on Snorlax's gut.

The Stats of a Sleeping Giant

While the Pokémon played, Ash pulled up his system panel to review the data for the specialist he had just brought back from the lab.

[Entity Analysis: Snorlax]

Type: Normal

Ability: Thick Fat (Fire and Ice damage halved).

Individual Values: 6IV (Perfect).

Current Strength: Gym Leader Level (Peak).

Moveset: Body Slam, Mega Punch, Ice Punch, Crunch, Hyper Beam, Sleep Talk.

He's a diamond in the rough, Ash thought, his brow furrowing as he scrolled through the moves.

Despite being one of the few Pokémon in his rotation with perfect natural talent (6IVs), Snorlax's training had been haphazard at best. The original Ash had treated it like a "break glass in case of emergency" weapon, but had never taught it the full range of elemental coverage it was capable of.

Snorlax had carried Ash through the Johto League by sheer grit, but it lacked the refined tactical tools of a modern "Burst Tank."

"Takeshi," Ash said, looking at Brock, who was currently in a corner muttering about how even Pikachu had a 'date' on the trampoline while he was still single. "I'm going to spend the next few days teaching Snorlax some new coverage. He's got the talent, but he needs more than just punches."

Ash looked at the sleeping giant. He didn't just want a big eater; he wanted a wall that the Sinnoh League would break its teeth on.
