Ash's Pokémon Save Christmas Part Three
Pikachu and the other Pokémon got together at Professor Kukui's house, agreeing to wait there until the snowstorm stops.
Pikachu: Thanks for letting us stay at the Professor's house, guys.
Rowlet: Anything for a friend.
Hawlucha, Talonflame and Noivern were talking to Goodra and Greninja, happy to see them again. Bulbasaur and Charizard were also talking to Squirtle and Primeape, happy to see them again. After some introductions, Pikachu explained to the other Pokémon about what was going on. He told them that Santa crash landed at Professor Oak's Lab and Stantler was sick, so he asked them to finish delivering the presents. And then, the snowstorm came.
Greninja: Let me get this straight. Santa came to Professor Oak's Lab and his Stantler was sick, so you guys were asked to finish delivering the presents until Stantler gets better?
Snivy: Bingo.
Lycanroc: And you guys got caught in that snowstorm?
Bulbasaur: How do you think we ended up here?
Lycanroc: Fair enough.
Oshawott: What about you guys? Why are you here in Alola?
(Greninja, Goodra Squirtle and Primeape looked at each other and said two words)
All: Christmas vacation.
Oshawott: Oh, I guess that makes sense.
Pikachu: You sure Professors Kukui and Burnet won't mind us being here?
Lycanroc: No need to worry. They're at a hotel, something about a special occasion on Christmas.
Pikachu: Okay.
Squirtle: Hey, want us to help you guys with the presents?
Bulbasaur: That would be great, but we lost Santa's list in the storm.
Rowlet: Then, perhaps we'll help you look for it.
Pikachu: Really? You guys would do that?
Rowlet: Sure, Pikachu. It'll be just like old times.
Pikachu: Well, thanks.
(Incineroar looks outside)
Incineroar: Storm's clearing up a bit.
Lycanroc: Well, that's cool. We'll help you guys look for the list since the storm's slowing down.
Bulbasaur: Sounds like a good idea.
After the storm calmed down, the group went outside and started searching around the area for Santa's list. As they were searching, they made their way into a forest.
Charizard: See anything, guys?
Squirtle: No luck yet.
As they kept looking, they saw a bar up ahead which caught Pikachu's attention. It was a small café in the forest.
Pikachu: Can it be?
(Pikachu ran towards the café)
Rowlet and Noctowl were circling the area when they saw Pikachu heading towards the café.
Noctowl: A café? I wonder why Pikachu is heading there.
Rowlet: I'll go check it out.
(Rowlet flies towards it)
Meanwhile, Lycanroc, Incineroar and Melmetal were searching through the forest when they see the café up ahead.
Lycanroc: Hey, there's a café over there.
Incineroar: Maybe somebody inside can help.
Melmetal: Then, let's go.
(The three of them head towards the café)
Pikachu stops at the café and sees his friends appearing from the trees.
Pikachu: Hey, guys. I guess you all noticed the café as well, huh?
Rowlet: You think Santa's list might be in there?
Lycanroc: Only one way to find out. Let's check it out.
Incineroar: You really think the list is in there?
Melmetal: You got a better idea, Incineroar?
Incineroar: Unfortunately, I don't.
Voice: Who's there?
Pikachu and the others looked to see Oranguru at the counter.
Pikachu: Oranguru. Hey, there.
Oranguru: Pikachu? Never thought I'd see you again. How's Ash?
Pikachu: He's great. Thanks for asking. Anyway, my friends and I are looking for something. We were wondering if you could help.
Oranguru: Depends on what it is.
Pikachu explains to Oranguru about Santa asking him and his friends to save Christmas by finishing his deliveries when they were caught in a snowstorm and ended up in the Alola region. Afterwards, there were looking for Santa's list which was lost in the blizzard.
Oranguru: So, you're helping Santa deliver presents, but you lost Santa's list?
Pikachu: To make a long story short, yes. Have you seen it?
Oranguru: You mean this?
(Oranguru takes out a piece of paper and shows it to them)
Pikachu: That's it! Where did you find it?
Oranguru: Well, I was about to close down my café for the night when the wind blew it here. I decided to hang on to it, hoping someone would find it.
Lycanroc: You're a life saver, Oranguru.
(Oranguru hands Pikachu the list)
Pikachu: Rowlet, tell the others that we found the list and we'll regroup at Santa's sleigh.
Rowlet: You got it.
(Rowlet flies off)
Oranguru: Wait, before you go, Pikachu, here's some drinks. Consider it a gift.
Pikachu: Well, thanks, Oranguru. Some of us could use a drink.
(The group grabbed the drinks and left the café)
Pikachu: Thanks for the help, Oranguru.
Oranguru: Happy to help and Merry Christmas, Pikachu.
(The group then ran off)
Melmetal: Hey, pardon me for asking, but how do you guys know Oranguru?
Incineroar: It's a long story. For now, let's hurry. We got a holiday to save.
Before long, the sleigh was ready to go. Rowlet joined the other Flying-Types in front of the sleigh while Incineroar, Lycanroc, Primeape, Squirtle and Greninja were in the sleigh. Melmetal and Goodra lifted the sleigh.
Pikachu: You guys sure you're okay with hanging onto the sleigh?
Melmetal: Well, we would stayed in the sleigh with the rest of you guys, but... we would probably make the sleigh too heavy.
Goodra: Melmetal makes a fair point, guys.
Bulbasaur: Are you guys good with carrying some extra weight?
Swellow: Watch us.
The sleigh was then up in the air and flew off. Pikachu looks at the list, viewing the names.
Pikachu: According to the list, Ash's friends are our final stops.
Incineroar: Good thing we found the list, otherwise, we'd have to judge who's naughty and who's nice.
Lycanroc: True.
Rowlet: So, who's first?
Pikachu: Let's see...
(Pikachu looks at the list)
Pikachu: According to the list, Misty and Brock should be our first stops.
Squirtle: So, Pewter and Cerulean City are our first stops.
Pikachu: Bingo.
Charizard: Then, let's go.
(The sleigh flew off)
The group arrived at Pewter City first and left Brock's present under the Christmas tree. His gift was a medical book for Pokémon medicine.
Pikachu: This is a good gift for Brock since he's training to be a Pokémon doctor.
The sleigh then arrived at Cerulean City and Misty was given her gift: A brand new fishing rod.
Squirtle: A fishing rod, perfect gift for her.
Bulbasaur: Indeed. So, who's next?
Pikachu: Well, Tracey should be next on the list.
Squirtle: Okay. So, where is he?
Pikachu: Last I saw him; he was staying with Professor Oak.
Pignite: So, we have to head back to the lab?
Pikachu: Yep.
Unfezant: Sounds good. Our wings could use a break, anyway.
Charizard: Then, let's move out.
Meanwhile, at Professor Oak's Lab, the snowstorm subsided.
Santa: Well, that's a relief.
Heracross: You think the others are okay after that storm?
Infernape: I'm sure they are.
(Sceptile sees something)
Sceptile: Guys, here they come now.
The group came outside and saw the sleigh arrive at the lab. The group gathered around it.
Torkoal: So, how was the journey?
Oshawott: So far, so good. We still have more gifts to deliver.
Palpitoad: So, why are you guys back here?
Staraptor: Two reasons: Our wings need a break and we have a gift to deliver to Tracey.
Palpitoad: Oh.
Pikachu ran off to Ash's house and delivers the gift to Tracey which was a sketchbook and a pencil case. He also left a trophy case for Gary since he had a bunch of them.
Pikachu: Three down and the rest of the group to go.
Pikachu rejoins the others as they were preparing to leave again. Before long, they set off for Petalburg City. Their next deliveries were for May and Max.
Swellow: So, May and Max are next?
Pikachu: That's what it says on the list.
Quilava: Who will deliver the gifts?
Bayleef: Let me and Bulbasaur handle it.
After they arrived at May and Max's home, Bulbasaur and Bayleef delivered the gifts: For May, a makeup kit and a few Pokémon Dolls. For Max, a Pokémon Egg.
Bulbasaur: Wonder what kind of Pokémon is in this Egg?
Bayleef: Until it hatches, who knows?
Later, the group set off for Twinleaf Town and eventually, arrived at Dawn's house.
Staraptor: So, Dawn's next.
Pikachu: Yep. Snivy, with me.
Snivy: Right.
Pikachu and Snivy gave Dawn her gift: A makeup kit and a brand-new case for her Contest Ribbons. They also left a couple of ribbons for Piplup and Buneary.
Snivy: So, who's next?
Pikachu: Iris and Cilan. Then, Clemont and Bonnie after them, along with Serena.
Snivy: Then, let's go for it.
And so, the sleigh flew off. As time passed, they delivered a Dragon Fang and A Dragon Pokémon Egg to Iris and Axew. They also dropped off a cook book and a brand-new set of cooking tools for Cilan. They even stopped at Lumiose City and left a brand-new toolbox and some new tools for Clemont and for Bonnie, a Pokémon Egg and a Pokémon Trainer hat. Before long, they arrived in Vaniville Town.
Goodra: So, what's Serena's gift?
Pikachu: It's... *Looks at the list* a beautiful necklace with a gem carved to look like a Luvdisc.
(Pikachu was breathless as he looked to see who it was from)
Pikachu: And it's from Ash, too.
The others were surprised at what they heard Pikachu say. Suddenly, Greninja takes the gift and takes out another box.
Pikachu: Greninja?
Greninja: I'll give Serena her gift. I got one for Braixen, anyway.
Goodra: I'll go with you. I was planning on heading back to the Wetlands, anyway. Might as well help you.
Pikachu: So, I'm guessing we're going our separate ways.
Greninja: Guess so.
Goodra: It was fun helping you guys while it lasted. I mean, Greninja and I haven't had this much fun in a long time.
Pikachu: Thanks, and Merry Christmas, you two.
After leaving the Kalos region, they made their way back to the Alola region. Rowlet, Lycanroc, Incineroar and Melmetal were ready to head home, but decided to help deliver the presents to Ash's friends while they were there.
Pikachu: Well, since we're in Alola, we might as well send the gifts to Mallow, Lana, Sophocles, Kiawe, Lillie and Gladion.
Lycanroc: Allow us to finish it.
Pikachu: Okay, guys. It was nice of you all to help.
Incineroar: No problem, Pikachu.
Rowlet: Yeah, you would've done the same for us, Pikachu.
After saying their goodbyes, Ash's Pokémon went their separate ways. Ash's Alola Team delivered the presents for Ash's Friends. The gifts they delivered were a cook book for Mallow, Mystic Water for Lana, a new set of tools for Sophocles, Charcoal for Kiawe, (Charcoal is an Item, in case anyone's wondering) a picture of Ash, Lillie and the rest of the group from the Pokémon school for Gladion and for Lillie, a cute collar for Snowy.
Charizard: Well, I think that's everyone.
Hawlucha: Let's go home.
Pikachu: Wait, there's one last stop we need to make.
The sleigh flew off to Team Rocket HQ and left coal for Jessie, James and Meowth before flying off. Meowth woke up and found a lump of coal by his side. He picks it and sees a note that says, "Happy Holidays, Meowth. Your rival, Pikachu". Meowth then crushes the coal in his paws.
Meowth: I'll get that Pikachu.
The sleigh flew back to Pallet Town.
Pikachu: Pallet Town, here we come. We will all be home for Christmas.
To be concluded...
