After eating at Carson's house, Ash and his group headed straight to the back mountains to check the water source. After all, it wouldn't be right not to help an old acquaintance in trouble.
To get there faster, Ash released his Dragonite, Dragonair, and Pidgeot. "I'm counting on you guys. Take us to the water source."
"Roar!"
"Pidgeot!"
Ash, Pikachu, and Meowth rode on Dragonair. Misty, Suzie, Lara, and Chansey sat on the Dragonite, while Brock was carried upstream by Pidgeot. As they approached the upper reaches, countless thorny vines appeared before them.
"It seems these thorns are blocking the spring water." Lara looked at the massive amount of thorns with a headache. If she, Ash, and Scyther had to cut through these, it would take quite some time, and using fire could easily start a forest fire.
"No, I think we have a way." Looking at a Pokémon not far from the thorns, Ash thought of a plan. "Let's go over there first. There's a Snorlax. If we wake it up and then sprinkle some seasoning on the thorns, it'll definitely be very happy to eat them."
"Snorlax... Those can certainly be eaten..." Suzie looked at the Snorlax in the distance and nodded in agreement. "Let's go! To Snorlax!"
However, when Ash and his group reached Snorlax, they found themselves in a bit of a predicament. Snorlax was notoriously difficult to wake up once asleep. Even having Chansey use Wake-Up Slap didn't work. "To be honest, this is my first time trying to wake up a Snorlax..."
Stroking Snorlax's soft, chubby belly, Ash paused for a moment before immediately lying down on it. "I've always wanted to do this! Snorlax's big belly is seriously so comfortable!"
"Really, Boss? Let me try lying down too, meow!"
"Pika!" (Me too!)
"Lucky!" (I want to try too!)
Thump!
"Now isn't the time to be sleeping on Snorlax's belly." After giving Ash a headbutt that left his head smoking, Lara looked at the water source blocked by the thorns. "If this continues, the plants in the village will likely wither completely."
Having Chansey stick a band-aid on his head, Ash looked at Snorlax, who was still snoring loudly even with people lying on its belly. He said with a headache, "But I feel like even if I get my Whismur choir over here to sing the Ode to Joy, this guy wouldn't wake up."
'Whismur choir... damn, just how many identities does this guy Ash have?' Unlike Misty and Lara, who weren't very familiar with the industry, Brock knew exactly how famous the Whismur choir was among Pokémon Breeders.
The fact that that absolutely insane, monster-level Breeder could make Whismur, Loudred, and Exploud sing bel canto was simply unprecedented! Looking at Ash now, and thinking about how Ash could casually whip up various medicinal dishes, Brock figured Ash probably used those dishes to maintain and improve the voices of Whismur and the others.
'Besides... a lot of older Breeder women really like the choir conductor, right?' Thinking this, Brock shot Ash a resentful glare. However, as Brock sent his resentful glare, Gardevoir suddenly emerged from Ash's Poké Ball and gave Brock a displeased look.
"Kyuuu!" (Don't look at my honey like that!)
Looking at Gardevoir's hostile gaze, Brock didn't know what to say. As a self-proclaimed expert in romance, he could still sense that something wasn't quite right with Gardevoir.
'I wonder if Ash has noticed... But knowing Ash, he probably just thinks Gardevoir is clinging to him like a child...'
On the other side, upon hearing Ash's words, Suzie thought for a moment and said, "It would be fine normally, but Snorlax..." Looking at the Snorlax that hadn't been woken up even by their loud conversation, Suzie shook her head helplessly.
"I guess even having them sing 'Opera' wouldn't work..." Just then, Jessie and James arrived, carrying a camera. "Testing, testing. This is Team Rocket TV! We are about to present a fairytale-like play for you all! I am the host, Jessie!"
"I am the cameraman, James. Now, let's begin our dreamy fairytale!"
"That's right, meow!" Looking at the Team Rocket trio, Lara, still sitting on Snorlax's soft belly, asked curiously, "What are you three doing here?" However, upon hearing Lara's question, Ash knew things were about to go south.
And exactly as Ash predicted, accompanied by that familiar Team Rocket BGM, the trio started their routine. Jessie: "Since you asked in good faith!"
James: "We will mercifully answer you!"
Jessie: "To protect the world from devastation!"
James: "To unite all peoples within our nation!"
Jessie: "To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
James: "To extend our reach to the stars above!"
Jessie: "Jessie!"
James: "James!"
Jessie: "Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
James: "Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
Meowth: "Meowth, that's right!"
Ash looked at the three of them, took a deep breath, snatched the megaphone Meowth handed him, and roared, "Lara wasn't asking who you are, she's asking what you're doing here!!!" Blasted by the megaphone's immense volume, the Team Rocket trio collapsed, covering their ears.
