Ash's Pokémon Save Christmas Part Four
Back at Professor Oak's Lab, Stantler was drinking some medicine Leavanny made for it.
Leavanny: It's a good thing I learned something about medicine while Ash was travelling. I hope this helps Stantler feel better.
(Stantler slowly got up, feeling its strength come back)
Santa: Feeling better, Stantler?
Stantler: You bet!
(Stantler turned to Ash's Pokémon and smiled before bowing its head)
Stantler: Thank you, all of you.
Donphan: You're welcome, Stantler. We're all glad that you're feeling better.
Boldore: I wonder if Pikachu and the others are back yet.
Infernape: I'll check outside.
Infernape looks out the window and sees something. Narrowing its eyes, Infernape can see Charizard's flame on its tail and the sleigh coming up ahead.
Infernape: Hey, guys. I can see the sleigh coming this way.
Krookodile: Let's head outside, then. I'm sure they'll want to hear the good news.
Before long, Pikachu and the others returned to Professor Oak's Lab.
Pikachu: Well, we did it. Great job saving Christmas, everybody.
The rest of Ash's Pokémon joined the others, congratulating themselves on a job well done. And then, Santa came out with Stantler.
Pikachu: Santa. How's Stantler?
Santa: Well, it's feeling a lot better.
(Stantler walks towards Pikachu and bows its head)
Stantler: Thank you for your help, Pikachu. I also want to thank your friends for helping me get better.
Pikachu: You're welcome. We also ran into some of Ash's other Pokémon along the way. They helped us finish the deliveries.
Stantler: Well, that was nice of them.
Santa: This is why you and Ash are always on the nice list, Pikachu. That also goes for your friends, too.
Pikachu: Aw, thanks, Santa.
Minutes later, Santa was onboard his sleigh and Stantler was ready to go, feeling a lot better.
Pikachu: Thanks for dropping in, Santa.
Santa: Anytime, Pikachu. And thank you for your help.
Pikachu: Hey, we were all happy to help.
And then, Santa flew away on his sleigh with Stantler. All the Pokémon watched as Santa and Stantler flew through the air.
Santa: Merry Christmas!
All of Ash's Pokémon waved or said goodbye to Santa as he flew out of sight with Stantler.
Sceptile: Well, I don't know about you guys, but I think we should get some sleep.
Charizard: Agreed. We could all use it after tonight.
Pikachu: In that case, I'm going back to Ash's house. I'll see you guys tomorrow morning.
The rest of Ash's Pokémon agreed and went to sleep. Pikachu was then running back to Ash's house. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he quickly stopped in his tracks, realizing something.
Pikachu: Oh, crud! We were so busy delivering the other presents that we forgot to deliver the ones for Ash and us!
Suddenly, Pikachu saw Santa passing by the house. Quickly, he ran towards the house just to see Santa's sleigh land on the roof. He opens the window to Ash's bedroom and sneaks back inside before closing it and hurries downstairs. Pikachu sees Santa by the tree who then turns and smiles at Pikachu. Santa then disappears up to the roof and back onto his sleigh before leaving.
Pikachu: Ash will never believe this.
Pikachu sees that Santa has set presents under the tree. Pikachu smiles and then yawns.
Pikachu: Time for this Pikachu to go to bed. I'll talk to the others in the morning.
(Pikachu walks back upstairs and falls asleep next to Ash)
The next day, it was Christmas morning. Ash, Pikachu and Delia Ketchum were heading to Professor Oak's Lab. When the walked inside, the lights were out when all of the sudden, they turned on and standing before them were all of Ash's friends.
All: Merry Christmas, Ash!
Surprisingly, Ash's friends arrived at the Christmas party. Ash figured they caught an early flight to the Kanto region or something, but not caring, Ash was happy to see his friends show up. Even all of their Pokémon showed up for the party as well. As Ash was talking to his friends, as well as exchanging gifts, Pikachu went outside to meet up with the rest of Ash's Pokémon. Surprisingly, Squirtle, Primeapre, Greninja, Goodra, Rowlet, Lycanroc, Incineroar and Melmetal were with the rest of Ash's Pokémon, happy to be with them for the holidays.
Pikachu: Guys?!
Squirtle: Hey, Pikachu! Happy Holidays!
Pikachu: Wait, why are you guys here?!
Greninja: Long story short, the others brought us here for the Christmas party.
Pikachu: Sweet!
Incineroar: Hey, Pikachu. This has been bugging me, but, what did you leave Meowth back at Team Rocket HQ?
Pikachu: Coal. I mean, it was pretty obvious after all the trouble he's caused us.
Lycanroc: (laughs) Mean.
Rowlet: What about last Christmas when you and Ash invited him along with Jessie, James and all their Pokémon to your place for the Christmas dinner? You never had them over before.
Pikachu: Ash and his Mom thought it was rude not to. I'll admit, I never did get along with Meowth since the day we first met. If you ask me, a Pokémon like him shouldn't even have a gift after everything he put us through.
Primeape: We don't blame you, Pikachu.
Suddenly, Ash came outside with a bag over his shoulder. He then sets it down in front of them.
Ash: Hey, guys. I got you all something for Christmas.
Ash opens the bag and shows them what was inside: A lot of berries.
Ash: Not going to lie, it wasn't easy getting some of these during the holidays. Hope you guys like them.
Pikachu: Well, thanks, Ash.
Ash: Oh, I almost forgot. My Mom and I found this box for all of you. There's a note attached to it as well.
Pikachu: From who?
Ash: It says it's from Santa.
Ash's Pokémon were surprised when they heard this. Ash gave his Pokémon the present and walks back into the Lab to join his friends. Pikachu takes the note off the presents and reads it while the rest of the Pokémon looked at it as well.
Note: Dear Pikachu, thank you and the rest of Ash's Pokémon for helping me save Christmas. By now, you're probably thinking it was all a dream. Hopefully, this gift Ash asked me to make for all of you will remind you all about the great adventures you've all had. And don't worry, I delivered the gifts for Ash and all of you before I left Pallet Town. Besides, it was the least I can do after everything you've done. So, again, thank you for saving Christmas. I really appreciate all the help you did for me and Stantler, so may this gift give you some holiday spirit. Merry Christmas! Santa.
Pikachu: (laughs) Good old Santa.
Pikachu opens the box and to everyone's surprise, they saw an amazing gift. Inside the box was a red scarf with lightning bolts and a yellow Poke Ball on it. Pikachu takes it out.
Pikachu: A scarf?
Pikachu wraps the scarf around his neck when he sees another note in the box.
Note: Dear Pikachu, I hope you and the rest of my Pokémon like the scarves. I asked Leavanny to give me some ideas on the scarf designs and sent the ideas to Santa. Hopefully, he enjoyed working on them. You guys are probably wondering why I have requested the scarves as a Christmas gift. Let's just say I had them made as a symbol of our friendship. Why, you may ask? Because you are all the best Pokémon a trainer like me could ever ask for. Merry Christmas! Ash Ketchum.
Leavanny: So, that's what Ash meant when he asked me to help him with a "special gift".
Sceptile: I can see why.
Charizard: So, these scarves were made as a symbol of our bond to Ash?
Greninja: I guess so. Ash really does care about us.
Pikachu: Ash is only human. And that's enough for all of us.
The Pokémon each took out a scarf. The scarfs were different colors based on the elements of the Pokémon that wore them and they each had a Poke Ball on them. The Poke Balls on the scarfs were mostly regular Poke Balls, but there was also one with a Lure Ball on it and thirty with a Safari Ball on them, plus numbers 1 through 30. As they looked at each other, they were amazed about how awesome the scarves were and how great of a gift it was from Ash and Santa.
Hawlucha: Feliz Navidad, amigos.
Meanwhile, Santa was in his workshop at the North Pole. He was looking through his magic crystal ball, seeing all of Ash's Pokémon enjoying their present.
Santa: Now, that's what I call a happy ending.
Mrs. Claus walked in, seeing Santa smiling through his crystal ball.
Mrs. Claus: I can see you're happy about your last run.
Santa: Indeed. Another successful Christmas.
Mrs. Claus: I agree. I was almost worried that you wouldn't finish your deliveries after what happened to Stantler. How did you finish all of the gifts in time?
Santa: Well, I had a little help. *Santa looks at his crystal ball* From some very special friends.
Pikachu and all of Ash's Pokémon looked at us along with Santa Claus and with smiles on their daces they began to say...
All: Merry Christmas to all! We hope you'll have a Happy Holiday!
THE END
