After saying goodbye to Elder Carson, Ash Ketchum and his friends made a special visit to Snorlax Elder. After all, it felt a bit awkward to suddenly wake up his Snorlax to help eat everything. However, upon learning about it, Snorlax Elder simply waved his hand with a smile and said he would appreciate a good meal as thanks.
Snorlax Elder was just saying it casually, but Ash Ketchum, being unconventional, directly had Meowth prepare a pot and started stir-frying dishes. After finishing, Ash even took out a Gourd Cup and two wine glasses.
"Come on, old man, let's have a couple of cups!"
"Cough, cough!"
Suddenly, Ash felt a terrifying gaze from behind him. He quietly put down the wine glass and said to Snorlax Elder, "I forgot, I can't drink while traveling. You'll have to drink by yourself, old man."
Snorlax Elder glanced at Lyn behind Ash, who was emitting a terrifying aura, and chuckled before saying, "It's okay, young man, you've prepared well enough. You even have peanuts. I can enjoy a comfortable drink by myself. You can eat with me, and I can tell you some things about Snorlax. That squinty-eyed one over there seems quite popular with Snorlax."
"!!!!!!"
Brock shuddered upon hearing Snorlax Elder's words, still remembering the Snorlax's kiss.
As Ash Ketchum and his friends chatted with the elder, they discovered that he specialized in raising Snorlax, hence the name Snorlax Elder. Of course, "raising" meant waking them up for meals regularly. However, having spent years with Snorlax, the elder knew their habits intimately. These experiences became valuable learning material for Ash, Suzy and Brock. Snorlax Elder had dedicated nearly his entire life to Snorlax, and his understanding far exceeded any research; it was a lifetime of companionship.
After a few drinks and the stir-fried dishes, Snorlax Elder contentedly lay down on the rock.
"It's been nice talking about Snorlax with you young folks. Ah, it's been a while since I've had such a pleasant chat. But it's time for the old man to rest. You should be leaving too. Go on, go on."
"Thank you for the information, we'll be off then."
"Thank you for your teachings, grandpa."
Although Ash Ketchum and his friends expressed their gratitude, the only response was the elder's snoring. Seeing this, Ash smiled, took a Blanket from Meowth, and covered the elder before quietly leaving.
After Ash Ketchum and his friends left, Snorlax Elder's mouth twitched slightly, and he adjusted the Blanket before falling back asleep.
"I didn't expect that old man to know so much..."
Brock was surprised, thinking about the differences Snorlax Elder pointed out in the information he had when introducing Snorlax. Ash Ketchum smiled and said, "That's why it's right to hold reverence. You never know when someone more knowledgeable will come along and shatter your understanding. Like Eevee Uncle's understanding of Eevee, and that Snorlax Elder's understanding of Snorlax. Oh right, this information should be shown to the professors. Meowth, prepare the machine. Professor Oak needs to see this information."
"Okay, boss, I'll transmit it right away."
Soon after Meowth transmitted the information, Professor Oak's call came through.
"Ash Ketchum! Where did you get this information?! It has such detailed explanations of Snorlax's habits!"
Seeing Professor Oak's surprise, Ash Ketchum and his friends smiled and said, "We got it with a meal." *6
After hearing Ash Ketchum's explanation, Professor Oak finally understood their travel experiences.
"I see, so there are people like that. It seems we professors still have blind spots."
"I think it's because Snorlax Elder is used to it. After all, it's the experience he gained from spending countless years with Snorlax."
"That's amazing. Perhaps that's a way of life?"
Thinking about the beauty of the village Ash mentioned and Snorlax Elder's leisurely life, Professor Oak began to understand.
