Cokenwhiskey

(I searched Google, this forum, and tried asking in the live chat.) How do I get passed the snorlax? If I remember correctly, in the old games you took a cave to Saffron(?) city after completing the third badge and did not deal with the snorlax until after finding the poke'flute which you got after the fourth badge..I cannot find any cave to any city, the only route I can go is past the Snorlax which I cannot wake...I'm lost here..
