Ash's Pokémon Saves Christmas Part Two
Santa was flying through the air with Stantler pulling his sleigh. He was arriving in Pallet Town.
Santa: Let's see... According to the map, I'm close to Pallet Town. I'll start with Ash Ketchum.
Santa was about to turn the sleigh towards Ash's house when something was wrong with Stantler.
Santa: Stantler? What's wrong?
Stantler didn't looks so good. Suddenly, Santa lost control of his sleigh and it flew towards Professor Oak's Lab before crash landing into the snow. Meanwhile, Ash's Pokémon were asleep when they heard the crash landing, waking them up.
Charizard: What was that?
Sceptile: Sounds like it came from outside.
Ash's Pokémon went outside, investigating the crash. Meanwhile, Pikachu was running down the road before arriving at Professor Oak's Lab. He jumps over the fence and then ran towards the crash site. Pikachu looks to see Santa was okay and was checking up on Stantler.
Pikachu: Santa?
(Santa turns around and sees Pikachu)
Santa: Oh, Pikachu. I'm glad to see you.
Pikachu: Are you all right?
Santa: I think so. I can't say the same for Stantler, though.
Pikachu: Why? What happened?
Before Santa could answer, he and Pikachu heard something. They looked ahead and saw all of Ash's Pokémon.
Pikachu: Oh, it's just you guys.
Charizard: Pikachu? I'm guessing you saw what happened, huh?
Pikachu: Yeah, Santa had a crash landing and I think something's wrong with Stantler.
Oshawott: You know Santa Claus, Pikachu?
Pikachu: Yeah, it's a long story.
Santa: I can see Ash caught a lot of Pokémon since the last time we met, Pikachu.
Pikachu: Yeah, he's been traveling a lot in the other regions. Another long story.
Bulbasaur: Anyway, what brings you here, Santa?
Santa: Well, I was on my way to Pallet Town to deliver some presents, starting with Ash when Stantler got sick. Next thing I knew, I had to make an emergency landing here at Professor Oak's Lab and that's when all of you found me.
Leavanny: Let me check Stantler.
(Leavanny feels Stantler's head, realizing that it was warm)
Leavanny: Yep, it has a fever.
Santa: That's what I was afraid of. Because of Stantler's condition, I can't finish delivering the presents now.
Quilava: Oh, no. Don't tell us Christmas is cancelled.
Santa: Unless, all of you finish delivering them for me.
Noivern and Oshawott: Us? Save Christmas?
Torkoal: Should we tell Professor Oak?
Bayleef: Don't bother. He's exhausted from decorating the lab.
Torkoal: Fair enough.
Pikachu: What do you say, guys? Want to save Christmas?
(The group looked at each other and then Snivy shrugged)
Snivy: Sure, we're in.
Torterra: I guess some of us should stay here with Stantler until it's better.
Corphish: Good plan.
Infernape: Just one question: How are we going to move the sleigh since Stantler is sick?
Charizard: Let me and the other Flying-Types handle that.
Before long, the Flying-Types were in front of the sleigh. Charizard was in the lead with Noctowl and Noivern coming from the back. Behind them were Swellow and Staraptor with Unfezant and Talonflame behind them. Finally, at the end were Gliscor and Hawlucha.
Swellow: Having Charizard in the lead was a smart choice. The tail flame will be useful in the snowy night.
Staraptor: Yeah, plus Noivern and Noctowl can sense trouble through the darkness. Shouldn't be too troublesome, hopefully.
Hawlucha: You okay, Noivern?
Noivern: Don't worry, Hawlucha. If Pikachu can handle this, then so can I.
(Hawlucha smiles)
Krookodile: Why couldn't we use the Tauros?
Sceptile: Can they fly?
Krookodile: Good point.
Pikachu was talking to the other Pokémon about the plan.
Pikachu: Okay, here's the plan. While the Flying-Types are pulling the sleigh, I'll deliver the presents with Bulbasaur, Bayleef, Quilava, Totodile, Oshawott, Pignite, Snivy and Scraggy. The rest of you can take care of Stantler.
Bulbasaur: Sounds like a plan.
Glalie: We'll take care of Stantler, Santa.
Santa: Thank you. Now, you should go, Pikachu. There's isn't much time.
Pikachu: Right. Let's go, guys!
Donphan: Good luck to all of you!
The group got on the sleigh and the Flying-Types were ready to take off.
Pignite: Sceptile and Infernape, can you guys give us a boost?
Scpetile: Sure thing.
(Sceptile and Infernape grabbed the sleigh on both sides)
Infernape: Ready, and... Heave!
(Infernape and Sceptile lifts the sleigh as the Flying-Types flew up)
Pikachu: All right, we're off to save Christmas! Let's fly!
Santa watched as his sleigh flew off with some of Ash's Pokémon.
Santa: Good luck, Pikachu.
Pikachu and the others were flying with Santa's sleigh. Some of the Pokémon were looking down, seeing how high they were.
Oshawott: That's a long way down.
Pignite: No kidding.
(Snivy was looking around the sleigh)
Bayleef: Looking for something, Snivy?
Snivy: Yeah, Santa's list. I figured he left it somewhere in the sleigh.
Pikachu notices a glove compartment on the sleigh.
Pikachu: Hey, maybe it's in here.
Curious, Pikachu pushes the glove compartment with his tail and it opens. Surprisingly, there was the list. There was also a spare hat for Santa, some candy canes and a picture of Mrs. Claus.
Pikachu: Jackpot.
(Pikachu grabs the list and also puts on the hat)
Pikachu: Here's the list, Snivy.
Snivy: Thanks.
As Snivy was looking at the list, Charizard was looking ahead through the snow, enjoying the flight.
Charizard: A guy could get use to travelling like this.
Staraptor: I hear you, man. This is amazing!
Talonflame: I wonder how the others are doing.
Swellow: I'm sure they're fine, Talonflame.
Meanwhile, Krookodile and Buizel were giving Leavanny some herbs.
Buizel: Here's the herbs, Leavanny.
Leavanny: Good work, that should be enough.
Torkoal was starting a fire with Flamethrower for Santa, so he and Stantler can be warm.
Torkoal: Hope this fire is enough, Santa.
Santa: It's perfect.
Sceptile and Infernape were putting some firewood in the fireplace for Santa.
Sceptile: Lucky we chopped that firewood when we did.
Infernape: Agreed. Hopefully, we have enough for the lab.
Torterra and Sceptile walks towards Santa who was comforting Santa.
Torterra: So, Santa, how's Stantler feeling?
Santa: A little better, I think.
Sceptile: I still can't believe you met Pikachu. Quite surprising, really.
Santa: Yes, it's a long story.
As Santa was explaining to the group how he met Pikachu, Stantler started waking up. It turns to Santa.
Stantler: Santa?
(Santa looks at Stantler)
Santa: Oh, Stantler. How are you feeling?
Stantler: Not well. What happened?
Santa: Well, in a nutshell, you got sick and crash landed in the snow.
Stantler: Whoa!
Santa: Don't worry, you'll feel better in a little bit. Right now, you're being treated.
Stantler: What about the rest of the presents you need to deliver?
Santa: Let's just say some friends are helping me out with the presents.
Suddenly, Heracross was heading back to the group.
Krookodile: Heracross, what's going on?
Heracross: I've come to warn you guys that there's a storm coming.
Krookodile: Say what now?
Sceptile: Santa, we better get you and Stantler into Professor Oak's lab. It's warmer in there.
Santa: Sounds good to me.
The group made their way inside the lab just before the snowstorm came.
Buizel: Good thing Professor Oak is spending the night with Ash's mother.
Donphan: Agreed.
(Corphish looks out the window)
Corphish: I just hope Pikachu and the others are holding up okay.
Boldore: Knowing them, I'm sure they're fine.
Santa was sitting on the couch with Stantler, gently petting it on the head.
Santa: I hope Pikachu is doing okay.
Meanwhile, Pikachu and the others finished delivering presents to some of the houses when all of the sudden, the snowstorm came. The sleigh was caught in the strong cold wind and although the Flying-Types tried their best, it wasn't enough. Suddenly, the sleigh was being blown away, taking the group of Pokémon with it. Santa's list flew out of Snivy's hands and Scraggy caught it, but unfortunately, the list was blown out of his hands as well. Next thing the group knew, the sleigh crashed landed onto a beach.
(Pikachu jumps out of the sleigh before stretching his back)
Pikachu: That was one heck of a crash.
Pikachu looks at the other Pokémon as they were getting up from the crash, starting with the Flying-Types.
Pikachu: Is everybody okay?
Charizard: I think I twisted one of my wings.
Scraggy looks around the sleigh when a look of worry appeared on his face.
Scraggy: Uh... guys?
Totodile: What's the matter?
Scraggy: I lost the list.
All: WHAT?!
Snivy: How on Unova did you lose the list?!
Oshawott: It must've gotten blown away from the storm.
Pignite: Great. Where are we, anyway?
Pikachu looks around the area when he recognized his surroundings.
Pikachu: Guys, we're in the Alola region.
(The group's eyes nearly popped out of their heads when they heard this)
All: SAY WHAT?!
Unfezant: That wind must've been really strong.
Swellow: So, what should we do now, guys?
Before anyone could think of any ideas, they hear someone.
Voice: Pikachu, is that you?
The group looked behind them to see a small group in front of them.
Hawlucha: And just who in the name of Zygarde are you?
Suddenly, to their surprise, the group was Squirtle, Primeape, Greninja, Goodra, Rowlet, Lycanroc, Incineroar and Melmetal. They looked at them and said two words.
All: A friend.
