## Transcript

What if I told you there's a town in Pokémon that throws a party every year for the guest who eats everything.

This is Snorlax, and most places don't exactly roll out the welcome mat for it. In Pokémon Legends Arceus, its Pokédex says a Snorlax eating a village's whole rice supply counts as one of the worst disasters there is.

But in the anime, there's a little farm town where every year, right after the harvest, a Snorlax comes down from the mountains. It walks out into the fields and starts digging up and eating every root the farmers left behind.

And the farmers love it. 

All that digging turns the soil over, so next year's crops grow better. Snorlax gets the biggest meal of its year, and the town gets its fields worked for free.

So once it's done, the whole town throws it a festival to say thank you. There's food, there are fireworks, and at the end, somebody plays a flute that sends it happily back up the mountain for another year.

The year Ash shows up, the flute goes MISSING. 

So Snorlax just lies down in the middle of town and snores, which is a very relatable way to wait for dessert. Once the flute's back, it eats every offering at the festival and heads home happy.

Maybe your family has one of those, the one who shows up every year and eats more than ANYBODY. Maybe it doesn't feel like a holiday until they walk through the door.

Everywhere else calls it a disaster, and this town calls it the guest of honor.

Send this to whoever eats the most at Thanksgiving.. or just in general!

## Pokédex entry

Very lazy. Just eats and sleeps. As its rotund bulk builds, it becomes steadily more slothful.
