Christmas special: A snowy mishap with doctor pepper
Italics=Narrative text
It's a snowy winters day in the Johto region. Here we are at the part of Johto where some of the largest mountains lie, and at the edge of those mountains lies the recently formed Hotaru pokemon ranch owned by two young but experienced trainers in their quest to form complete harmony between human and pokemon. With Christmas approaching the ranch is busier than usual…but then again that also means that the ranch pokemon are bound to cause some mishap…
A piplup wearing a hat and scarf runs by holding several small logs with a mamoswine close behind it. Near by is an aspiring contest champion and one of the owners of the ranch.
This young girl is called Bunny and dreams of becoming a famous contest champion. She is the trainer of several pokemon at the ranch and is in charge of the very young pokemon. She also owns that piplup and mamoswine…the piplup is always up to something…
Bunny looks up from her log collecting and sees her piplup fly past followed by her mamoswine. *Sweat drop* "What's Pips been doing now?" She stands up and gets a poke ball out of her bag. "Ok Hector stop mamoswine!" A large Camerupt comes out of the poke ball and charges in front of Marco the mamoswine and brings him to a halt. Pips stops running and lands in a heap with his logs. Bunny walks over to Marco. "What did Pips do this time?" Marco grunts and shows Bunny the huge lump on the top of his head. "I see, he was collecting wood from a high place and dropped some on your head. Ok thanks Hector return." Pips staggers over to his trainer after picking up the logs. Marco glares at him so he hides behind bunny. "Come on you two. Marco I know pips can be clumsy and annoy-" She is interrupted by a sudden glare from pips. "uuu…and playful but you gotta cut him some slack ok?" Marco nods. "And pips try to be more careful next time." Pips looks determined and nods. "So how much wood did you collect Marco?" Marco turns to show her a pile of very large logs. "Wow we'll definitely have enough until the heating comes back on. Think you can carry it back to the ranch storage shed?" He nods proudly and picks up the logs with his tusks.
They walk back to the ranch together and put the logs in the storage shed. "Ok thanks Marco, you've been a big help today, wanna go back to your pokemon house and enclosure?" He nods and walks over to the area for the larger pokemon. "And pips I'm about to ask you a very important question ready?" Pips looks worried but nods. "Wanna go to the house and enjoy some hot chocolate?" Pips smiles and nods while jumping and flailing. "Haha ok lets go." They walk over to their home at the ranch, which is a large modern house right in the middle of the ranch. Bunny and Pips walk in through the front door and shake the snow off them and put their hats and coats and things away. "We're home!" Out of the living room comes a raichu with a tuft of fur on its chest and its trainer.
Here we meet the other owner of the ranch Tom, or affectionately known as Tommy-san. He is with his trusty and well know raichu Alphonse. Tom is an aspiring pokemon trainer and breeder and came up with the initial idea for a pokemon ranch. He and his pokemon are generally responsible…but things can get kind of hectic…
"Hey you two, how did the log collecting go?" As he stands in the door way, pips walks up to Alphonse and high fives him but as usual falls over… "Fine thankies, we had a small mishap…but other than that it went well. But I hope the heating comes back on soon, since that snow storm knocked it off we've been collecting wood all day and night." Alphonse helps pips to his feet. "Yeah I know its annoying. And let me guess, the mishap involved pips annoying Marco again?" Pips looks suddenly at Tommy-san and gives him a hard glare. "Sorry pips I didn't mean anything by that, just saying it happens a lot." Pips walks grumpily over to bunny and climbs onto her shoulder and pokes her looking anxious. "Oh that's right, I promised some hot chocolate." As Tommy-san begins to open his mouth, something small and pink and zooms past and trips him up. "Ow…what was that?" Alphonse helps him up. "I think I know." Bunny grabs the small blur and puts it outside quickly where an explosion is suddenly heard. Bunny opens the door and is holding a happiny. Tommy-san stands up properly and laughs. "I should have guessed pinky would be up to something." Pinky giggles and kicks her legs. "Yupp, hey want some hot chocolate and maybe some pancakes pinky?" She smiles and nods. Tommy-san and Alphonse walk towards the kitchen. "We'll all have pancakes, me and Alphonse can make some right Alphy?" Alphonse salutes and walks into the kitchen. They all follow into the spacious kitchen and Tommy-san and Alphonse head over to the counter and as Tommy-san starts getting out ingredients from the cupboard Alphonse puts a chefs hat on. Bunny sits on a chair by the table while pips and pinky play pat-a-cake on the table. "Ok would you like some chocolate chip pancakes today?" Pips and pinky smile and flail their arms. "I'll take that as a yes then…" Says Tommy-san while he takes the chocolate chips out of the cupboard. Two minuns walk into the kitchen looking curious. "Oh hey Minnie, oh and look Tommy-san your minun Charlie is here also." Tommy-san turns around. "Hey you two, lured by the smell of pancakes?" They both nod, Alphonse walks over to them and puts them on the table with pips and pinky. "I guess your staying hehe."
Tommy-san hands the pancakes to Alphonse who puts them on a plate and then on the table. "Ok guys dig in. I'll get some drinks." The others munch on the pancakes while Tommy-san puts the hot chocolate machine on and heads to the fridge. He opens the fridge door and looks shocked. "What is it Tommy-san?" He sighs and pulls a munchlax out of the fridge. "Ji has sneaked into the fridge again. Ok Ji you need a time out, return." Ji hangs his head in shame as he goes into his poke ball. Bunny giggles slightly. "How much did he eat?" Tommy-san inspects the fridge. "There's some cheese left and some fruit. Oh and one Dr pepper left, just what I wanted." Tommy-san begins to open the lid, when suddenly the Dr pepper disappears. "Hey! What tha-?" Tommy-san looks around rapidly while the others giggle. "What's so funny?" Tommy-san turns around to the sound of rather deep laughter. He sees Bunny's venusaur standing at the window holding the Dr Pepper with his vines. "Hey Bruce give it back!" He opens the window fully to try and grab the Dr pepper but Bruce throws it over to Minnie. The Dr pepper disappears again. While everyone looks confused a mew wearing a Santa hat appears holding the Dr pepper.
That's Steve…He's a very playful and rather hyper mew who enjoys visiting the ranch from his home in the mountains.
Tommy-san quickly grabs the Dr pepper from Steve, so fast it was barely visible. "Mwhaha victory!" As he says that a plusle flies in through the open window on a starly and grabs it. "Haha good one Mickey." Everyone laughs. "Hey come on guys its mine!" Bunny laughs and says "I think they're doing this because it's the last one." They nod. "Well I bought it, its mine!" Tommy-san quickly jumps and grabs it from Mickey, who then lands on the table with the starly. "Ok Steve teleport!" Steve glows as he does this Charlie makes one last attempt for the Dr pepper. Steve stops glowing and both Tommy-san and Charlie are gone. Everyone looks around the room wondering what to do. Then Bunny's phone rings, everyone looks at anxiously. She answers, "Hello?"
