Aside from getting rid of what would otherwise be a waste product, Snorlax would also incidentally plow the ground in readiness for the next harvest. As thanks, Camphrier Town hosts an annual harvest festival in Snorlax's honor. The town offers Snorlax much of its fresh produce and the Lord of Shabboneau Castle plays the Poké Flute to wake the Snorlax. Snorlax, with its stomach now full, returns to the mountain, only to return in time for the following year's harvest.
When and came to visit Camphrier Town, they found the Snorlax loudly, and learned that Lord Shabboneau refused to play the flute for this year. They visited Shabboneau Castle and discovered that Lord Shabboneau had lost the flute to Princess Allie of Parfum Palace.
