Daniel's Kabigon encountered
Ash Ketchum and his friends in the forest and bounced
Ash's Pikachu and
Dawn's Piplup off the trampoline it was training on.
Daniel unknowingly left his Snorlax in the hands of Team Rocket who were posing as masseuses. When
Daniel returned to get Snorlax for the Hurdle Dash (ダッシュハードル, Dash Hurdle in Japanese) event, Team Rocket tried to get away but
Daniel's Kabigon was connected to the balloon with a rope and its weight prevented them from escaping.
Jessie sent out her Yanmega to cut the rope, but Snorlax used a trampoline from the Lamp Jump (バウンドフィールド, Bound Field in Japanese) event to send Team Rocket flying and free
Ash's Pikachu.
In the Hurdle Dash event,
Daniel's Kabigon went up against
Ash's Pikachu. It ended up being a photo finish as Snorlax barely won.
Daniel ended up winning the Camellia Town Pokéathlon and Snorlax was seen on the podium receiving a wreath.
