Storyline
On top of a hill behind a Pokémon Center, the Pokémon are building snowmen. They are all small, but Totodile has made a giant one. The other Pokémon decide to work on that, and Chikorita begins by marking out two dashes for the eyes. All the Pokémon work together so that, by that evening, they have made a very realistic snow Snorlax.
That night, while everyone is asleep, Pikachu wakes up and notices a white Snorlax peering through the window. Pikachu wakes the other Pokémon up, and they follow the Snorlax through the woods until they come to a tree on top of a cliff that overlooks the ocean. Snorlax points to an apple on the tree, which Chikorita picks with a Vine Whip. Everyone runs for it, but Snorlax eats it in one bite, slamming down on the weak cliff face, and making everyone plummet. Luckily, they fall on Snorlax, who slides into the ocean.
Stuck at sea, the Pokémon yell at Snorlax, who just falls asleep. Togepi points put the wondrous aurora lighting up the night sky, which they take a moment to enjoy. However, while they aren't watching the sea, they float into a whirlpool. Pikachu and Totodile try a Thunderbolt and a Water Gun, respectively, but the attacks prove useless. Just as they think all is lost, Snorlax wakes up and uses Blizzard, which freezes the water. They now effectively have their own aquarium, so they look at the passing Water Pokémon for a while.
When it is time to go, Totodile uses Water Gun, which Snorlax freezes. Bulbasaur and Chikorita then use their Razor Leaf attacks to carve the ice block into a boat. They use it to head back, but Geodude's bouncing around makes the boat break apart. They sink, but two Lapras come to their rescue, and take them to an island where there are many more snow Snorlax. As Snorlax waves, the Lapras take the rest of the Pokémon back to the Pokémon Center.
Everyone falls asleep, and when they wake up they are already back at the Center. Pikachu suddenly asks the Pokémon something. They all nod in assent, and they run up the hill to where they see their snow Snorlax sitting in the sun where they left it.
