Marcel, the owner of the Banana Slakoth Garden, was facing a major issue when Ash and his friends arrived. The park had been shut down because a Snorlax was consuming all the bananas. To complicate things, any Pokémon that attempted to battle the Snorlax would be put to sleep by its Yawn move.
Marcel was on the verge of giving up when Brock proposed that he catch a Slakoth from the Garden and evolve it into a Vigoroth. Brock’s logic relied on Vigoroth’s Vital Spirit ability, which prevents the Pokémon from falling asleep.
Following this advice, Marcel caught a Slakoth. After battling Ash’s Pikachu, Torkoal, and Grovyle, the Slakoth evolved. With the Wild Monkey Pokémon, Marcel fought the Snorlax and managed to capture it.
Once the park reopened, Marcel explained that the Snorlax had inspired him. He designed one room for visitors to rest if they felt tired, and his newly caught Snorlax used Yawn to help them fall asleep.
Ash and the group said goodbye to Marcel and headed on to Lilycove City.
