When they wake up, they call Professor Oak for help. He mentions that he's developed a special type of pokeblock that's the size of your eye, but expands once eaten to be three hundred kilograms. Of course this violates the conservation of mass, but you're going to say "Herpaderp, Anagram, it probably uses advanced science that doesn't really exist." Nope: Oak sends Brock the recipe to make using normal kitchen supplies. That still leaves the problem of getting it to stop eating the bananas: they need to defeat Snorlax with a pokemon that's immune to yawn and then catch it. The obvious solution is to make one of the Slakoth evolve and become a Vigoroth. I like how Marcel is like "What? Vigoroth are immune to sleep-related attacks?" even though his entire job is taking care of Slakoth.
Marcel goes out to the Slakoth and begs them to help him, but most of them are like "Meh, I'm not risking my ass against a Snorlax." Luckily, one of them steps forth and volunteers. After a one minute training montage of beating up Grovyle, Torkoal, and Pikachu (who definitely all joined Ash for the purpose of being punching bags for animals in a zoo), Slakoth evolves into Vigoroth.
They challenge Snorlax again, and with its immunity to yawn, Vigoroth attacks Snorlax head on using scratch. Of course, Pikachu's equally powerful attacks did nothing to it earlier, but whatever. Vigoroth defeats Snorlax and the Slakoth celebrate. What the episode doesn't show you is that later, Vigoroth realizes that it no longer has any proper friends, because it simply lives its life on a faster pace than the Slakoth are capable of keeping up with, and it slowly slinks into a depression, ultimately wasting away its life on hookers, booze, and cocaine, until it finally blows its brains out in its bathtub without leaving a suicide note.
Also: Marcel decides to open up an additional section for the zoo: a Snorlax relaxation room.
