Pokemon - Wake Up Snorlax! (Vol. 13) [VHS]

When young Mikey is pressured by his big brothers to evolve his Eevee before it's ready, it is up to Ash, Pikachu and friends to teach a Pokemon lesson. Then, Snorlax takes a nap in the spring that supplies a town with water! Can anybody wake him up!? And finally, when two Pokemon gyms brawl for the right to become an official gym, Ash, Misty, Brock and their Pokemon are caught in the middle. Which side will they take, and how is Team Rocket involved in all this?

In "The Battling Eevee Brothers," Ash, Misty, and Brock encounter an abandoned Eevee and seek out its owner in Stone Town. They discover a garden party honoring the Eevee's trainer, Mikey, and in attendance are all the best Pokémon trainers specializing in stone evolution. With Misty's support, Mikey refuses to evolve his Eevee for battle and keeps him as a best friend instead. Although his brothers scoff, it is Mikey's unevolved Eevee that eventually defeats Team Rocket's attempt to steal all the evolved Pokémon and teaches all present to have the courage to follow their own paths. Ash and his friends continue their quest to become Pokémon trainers in "Wake Up Snorlax!" When the trio comes upon a town without food, they head upstream to see how they can help. What they find is a 1,000-pound Snorlax asleep and blocking the spring. You'll have to watch this episode to discover the one thing that will awaken a slumbering Snorlax, but rest assured that the trio triumphs once again. In "Showdown at Dark City," Ash, Misty, and Brock encounter a town that loathes Pokémon trainers. Two local gyms are tearing apart the town in an effort to defeat one another and win the title of "Official Pokémon Gym." In the end, Ash and his friends defeat both gyms with the help of a ketchup-loving Pikachu and inspire the members to start again with a healthy respect for Pokémon. Followed by Jigglypuff Pop.
