Pokémon Diaries
The Meeting (Episode 11 or Chapter 11)
Disclaimer: I sadly do not own Pokémon. Somebody else does. (Lucky them)
Side note: Eeep! Everybody is finally meeting up! Cant wait to hear from you guys! :P
Narrator: It's Christmas Eve! The one time of the year where the colourful lights light up the neighborhoods and people's homes, fuelling the Christmas Cheer; and who can forget about the presents under the unique Christmas Trees inside people's homes? We also know that this is the unique time of the year when Christmas Parties bring everyone together to celebrate Christmas, and those awkward moments under the Mistletoe. Well, let's take a look at our heroes and favourite antiheroes on how they are celebrating Christmas. Let's just hope there aren't any Grinches among our heroes.
At the local Department Store in Viridian City, our favourite antagonists are doing a little Christmas shopping of their own.
Jessie: Alright James, if you're ready then come out and let us see you.
Calling to James in the change room trying out a few, cough festive cough clothes
Meowth: I dunno Jess this is kinda lame, if you ask me.
Jessie: *getting annoyed at Meowth* It's not lame, it's simple and genius!
Meowth: I still think that crashing the party old school is a lot better.
Jessie: *really annoyed* Yea if you want those gym leaders and trainers attacking you all at once.
Meowth: So what? We can take them?!
James: I agree with Meowth, Jessie! *Calling from the change room*
Jessie: No, just no. If we come to the party like this we are going to get creamed for sure. But think about it, no one would dare attack us, especially James in his outfit on Christmas! *sure of herself*
James: Then again Jessie has a point, Meowth. *still in the change room*
Meowth: Hump, fine just don't say that I didn't warn you.
Jessie: Yea well we won't. Alright James are you done yet?
James: Just about!
As James came out of the change room, it was clear that Jessie was proud of her idea.
Jessie: YES! This is definitely going to work!
Meowth: So what do you think James? Feel like Santa Clause?
James: I don't know it's a little stuffy in here.
Jessie: Oh c'mon James, its totally legit. You even look like the real thing!
James was dressed from head to toe. Black boots, bright red pants, and the classic red and white fat coat that Santa would wear. On his head, he is wearing a very long bright red cap with a white cotton ball at the end of the cap. On his chin is a long and fluffy white beard that is covering the bottom part of his face. Even his upper part of his head is covered in a white wig. Even his eyes are covered in glasses. You wouldn't even recognize him even up close.
Meowth: You know James, if I didn't know that was you in that suite, I would think that you're the real deal.
James: You think? But I'm gonna get really hot in hear really fast.
Meowth: Well, you're probably not gonna be in that thing all night. Right?
James: I don't know, Jessie what do you think?
Jessie: *shaking her head* I think you need to work on your voice, James. You may look like Santa, but you still sound like yourself.
James: Oh, how about this? *deeper voice now* How about now?
Jessie: Laugh like Santa.
James: HO, HO, HO!
Jessie: *smiling proudly* Congrats, your now officially Santa Clause.
J (James) Santa: Hooray! Merry Christmas Everybody! *moving around excitingly*
Meowth: Oy Santa, keep it down would ya?
J Santa: Oh sorry.
Meowth: So Jessie what about you?
Jessie: Oh me that's easy! *runs into the next change room, and comes back in less than a minute, looking a little different* I'm Santa's Elf!
Meowth: Waah?!
Jessie was wearing a classic elf costume, with a long green cap on her head. Her hair is split into two ponytails at both sides of her face, with makeup covering her entire face.
Meowth: Wow Jessie, you look like an actual elf, but a tall one.
Jessie: *Wagging her finger at Meowth* Ah ah, I'm not Jessie anymore, remember? Just call me Ann!
Meowth: Okay, Ann. What about me?
Ann: You're going as yourself, but not exactly yourself.
Meowth: What you mean? *a little scared*
Ann: All you have to do is wear this blue collar around your neck and not say a single word. Just act like a normal Meowth. *giving him the collar*
J Santa: Yea Meowth, if you talk then it's game over for all of us.
Ann: So Meowth lets give a new you a try without talking. Go ahead.
Meowth: *growling and putting the collar around his neck* When this is over those two knuckleheads are going to get it big time. Meow-th. *acting like a cat*
Ann: Perfect! We are ready to go! Let's go gang!
Narrator: As the three-o leave the store, without getting much attention, except for a few visits from nearby children, they make their way to Professor Oak's Lab. Meanwhile back at the Vermilion Pokémon Centre, things are getting interesting with everyone involved.
There are only a few hours left until the party starts, and Misty is now getting started on getting ready, nervously.
Knock, Knock
Misty: Come in!
The door opens and May comes in with her normal clothes on, and holding her dress in its cover.
Misty: *a little surprised* May? I thought you were still angry at me?
May: *sighing* Well, it's Christmas, I can't stay mad at you. And besides at a time like this, it's not fair leaving a girl helpless before a party. *smiling sweetly*
Misty: *eyes twinkling with gratitude* Oh May, I'm so sorry the way I acted towards you yesterday, I was just embarrassed about it though. I'm sorry.
May: *shaking her head* It's me, who should apologize Misty, if I haven't teased you like that, we wouldn't have been in an argument in the first place.
Misty: *smiling sweetly* So we're friends again?
May: *also smiling sweetly* Of course!
As the two friends hug, Dawn comes in the room, with her normal clothes on, and also holding her covered dress.
Dawn: So you're not fighting anymore?
Misty: Oh hi Dawn, and no, not anymore.
May: So Misty, I think we should help you get ready first don't you think so?
Misty: I think we should work on you two first, and then me later.
Dawn: Yea, if we have time, so who's first?
May: Me? *a little enthusiastic holding up her dress*
Misty and Dawn: Sure let's start!
Narrator: The two girls quickly, but professionally, help May with her dress and hair for almost an hour. When they were done, they worked on Dawn on the same way. However, when they finished with Dawn, they took their time on Misty. They believed that since she is a gym leader that she needs to look perfect, because she is representing not only Cerulean Gym, but Cerulean City as well. As the girls get ready, the boys are waiting patiently at the lobby of the Centre, with Misty's sisters and Dawn's mother, with the guys in their suites, and the girls in their dresses.
Drew: So Paul, who are you going with?
Paul: *shrugging* Technically I'm going with Dawn.
Drew: Who's Dawn?
Paul: She's the one with the blue-ish hair, you'll see which one.
Drew: Oh, so you guys going out?
Paul: *scoffing* Hardly, I'm just her escort to the party.
Drew: *getting suspicious* So why are you here then? Were you even invited?
Paul: Yea, I was. It was just pure coincidence that I met up with Dawn, before tonight.
Drew: Uh-ha *not fully convinced* It just doesn't seem like you're the type of guy that would go to a party like this.
Paul: I'm not, but I do wanna have a rematch with someone.
Drew: *now really suspicious* Oh yea? Who?
Paul: *shrugging* Some guy named Ash.
Drew: *fully surprised* Ash? Why him?
Paul: Sounds like you know him.
Drew: Uh, yea. I do. He's a good guy. So why do you want to have a rematch with him?
Paul: Let's just say that I have a score to settle with him.
Drew: *looking away from Paul* You do realize it's Christmas right? So I think it would be better to keep the vendetta away for a few days.
Paul: *shrugging* Whatever.
As Drew was getting annoyed with Paul, Dawn's mom came over to them in her dress.
Dawn's mom: Sorry boys to interrupt, but I just spoke with Daisy and the girls, and they say that they have enough room for all of us in her car, to get to the party.
Drew: Oh sure, that's great thanks. *smiling at her*
Paul: Yea sure.
Dawn's mom: *Checking her time* Oh, it's getting late.
Drew: How long until it starts?
Dawn's mom: About an hour, but it will take us an hour to get there by car.
Drew: Oh, I think we should go get the girls.
Dawn's mom: Oh don't worry about that, umm…
Drew: It's Drew.
Dawns' mom: Oh. So yea, don't worry about it Drew, I'll go get them. You guys just stay put with the other girls.
Drew: Alright.
By the time Dawn's mom reached the door to Misty's room, all three girls were ready to go, just putting on finishing touches.
Knock, Knock
Misty: Who is it?
Dawn's mom: It's Dawn's mother.
Dawn: Come in mom!
As Dawn's mom came in, she was shocked to see the girls in their prime. Dawn was wearing a light green simple dress and heels. Her hair was all curled up to her shoulders, crowned with a small silver tiara, and long silver earrings that compliment her hair. May was wearing a light purple simple dress and heels; Her hair was in a pretty curvy wavy fashion, a bit past her shoulders, also in the same tiara as Dawn, and similar earrings as well. Misty was the prettiest one of them all. She was wearing a bright blue curvy dress that showed her curves perfectly with pink flowers decorated in rows on her dress. Her hair was loose with very pretty curls, with silver earrings similar to the other girls. She was wearing a similar tiara to the girls, but it had blue and pink, fake jewels. She was also wearing a pink flower like the ones on her dress in her hair, on one side of her head. Her heels were blue in colour, but were decorated with silver fake jewels.
Dawn's mom: My mind is officially blown. You all look so pretty!
Dawn: You think so? It's not too simple? *turning around*
Dawn's mom: For sure! You three are the most beautiful girls in the Centre!
Misty: What about the other girls downstairs?
Dawn's mom: For once I think that they're going to be jealous of you three.
May: If you were to pick out of the three of us of who would be the prettiest, who would it be?
Dawn: And don't say me mom. *smiling at her mother*
Dawn's mom: Well in that case, I would pick the girl in blue.
May and Dawn: I knew it!
Misty: Thank you, and my name is Misty, ma'am.
Dawn's mom: You just look like a princess about to go to a fun ball.
May: *nodding* She should be the prettiest, since she is a gym leader and all.
Dawn's mom: Oh really?
Dawn: Which means that we did a good job May! High five!
The two girls give a high five, carefully.
Misty: Thanks girls.
May and Dawn: No problem!
Dawn's mom: Alright, let's go! oh and don't forget about your invites!
The girls gathered their own invites and lined up behind Dawn's mother. Behind Dawn's mom, was Dawn, then May, and finally Misty.
Dawn's mom: Alright let's see everyone's reaction, when we go down, but be quite alright?
The three friends: Alright!
As all four of them make their way downstairs, it didn't take long for everyone else to notice the three girls. Paul was genially surprised at the sight of Dawn. Drew's breath was taken away at the sight of May. And Daisy, Lilly, and Violet were a mix of astonishment and jealousy at the sight of Misty.
Dawn's mom: Alright, is everyone ready to party?! *shouting at everyone*
Everyone: Yea!
Dawn's mom: Then let's go!
Narrator: As everyone head to Daisy's car and make their way to Professor Oak's Laboratory. Forrest, Brock, Pikachu and Ash, are already at Professor Oak's door, all dressed up in suites, even Pikachu, thanks to Ash's mom.
Brock: I already hear music in there. *turning towards Ash* So Ash you said you wanted to make it a surprise, so how you want to do it?
Ash: I was thinking if I hide behind the door with Pikachu on my shoulder, and wait for your cue, then I come out and surprise the Professor.
Forrest: Good idea. So what's the cue?
Brock: How about if the professor asks something like "it's just the two of you?" then I would say not exactly, and that's when Ash and Pikachu come into view?
Ash: Perfect. Alright Brock ring the door.
Ash hides behind the door with Pikachu on his shoulder, and waits for the cue, all while Brock rings the door.
A moment later Professor Oak opens the door.
Prof. Oak: Brock my dear boy! What a surprise!
Brock: Hi, Professor.
Prof. Oak: And this must be the new Gym leader, Forrest right?
Forrest: Gym Leader and Brock's younger brother. *saying proudly*
Prof. Oak: Of course! *a little sad after looking around the two brothers* Oh, not even you have seen him?
Brock: Who professor? *As if Brock didn't already know who*
Prof. Oak: I'm sure that Ash must have heard about the party by now. I just wish he was here.
Brock: Well, Professor. I think you're Christmas Wish might just come true. *smiling slyly*
Prof. Oak: What do you mean?
Brock: Ahem! *that was for Ash to come out*
At that moment Ash came out of hiding, with Pikachu wearing a black suite, with a white flower in his chest pocket, and Ash with his latest lucky hat.*
Prof. Oak: My stars! Ash I don't believe it, you're here! *hugging Ash*
Ash: It's good to be back Professor! *hugging back the Professor*
Pikachu: Pi Pikachu! *just as happy as Ash is*
Prof. Oak: Oh, and hello to you too Pikachu! Come on in everyone!
As the four friends enter the lab, they were really surprised at the huge change.
Ash: Wow, this is totally different then the last time I was here!
Suddenly Gary all dressed up, came out from around the corner, surprising Ash.
Gary: Yea, that's what I said three days ago.
Ash: Gary? What are you doing here?
Gary: *scoffing* What do you think? I was naturally invited to my grandfather's Christmas Party.
Brock: Alright take it easy, it's Christmas guys.
Gary: Sure, but tell that to Ash. *walks away upstairs*
Ash: Oh that Gary. *annoyed now*
Brock looking around the Laboratory at the huge gathering of people.
Brock: Is it just me or are there a lot of people here?
Ash: Yea, there are a lot of people here, but we just came in like five minutes ago.
Prof. Oak: Oh, I know, isn't it great?! Even when I'm busy, there is an usher outside that I hired, to check the invites. But it looks like he needs my help though.
Brock looking around for a familiar face.
Brock: Hey Professor, isn't Tracey here too?
Prof. Oak: Oh sure, he's probably at the kitchen preparing the food. If you don't mind I have to play host and welcome people in, since the party is just getting started.
The three friends: Of course!
As the Professor walks away, Forrest is heading upstairs.
Brock: Forrest, where are you going?
Forrest: Well since I never been here, I thought that I might take a tour and see what's around.
Brock: Alright, but don't get lost alright?
Forrest: Sure. See yea later guys! *runs upstairs*
Brock: Ash let's meet up with Tracey in the kitchen.
As Ash and Brock head towards the kitchen, Ash notices that Pikachu was missing.
Ash: *looking around* Pikachu?
Brock: Ash? You okay?
Ash: Brock, Pikachu isn't here. *getting worried*
Brock: Where did you last see him?
Ash: Just a moment ago, he was on my shoulder, and now he's gone.
Brock: Ash, don't worry Pikachu probably went to have some fun on its own. And besides its Christmas, let him have some fun.
Ash: I just hope he doesn't get into trouble.
Right before Ash and Brock got inside the kitchen, Tracey came out with three glasses of non-alcoholic wine.
Ash: Oh, hey Tracey. What's that you're holding?
Tracey: Oh, hey Ash and Brock. These are just glasses of kid's wine. I heard that you guys came, so here. *hands one glass to Ash and Brock.*
Brock: Oh, thanks Tracey. I actually wanted to get something to drink.
Tracey: You're welcome Brock. So guys, what are we gonna toast for?
Brock: Well, it is Christmas, *looking at a nearby mistletoe* so let's toast for finding our first hopeful kisses under the mistletoe! *joking around*
Tracey: *laughing* Oh Brock, you didn't even change.
Brock: *looking at Ash* What about you Ash?
Ash: *Smiling* How about we toast for a great new year with old friends, and Pokémon! *cheerfully*
Tracey and Brock both chuckle.
Tracey: Alright boys. let's toast for future girlfriends and a brand new year!
Ash, Tracey, and Brock: *bringing their glasses together* Cheers! *drinking from their cups*
Narrator: Meanwhile, outside Professor Oak's Laboratory Misty and company, arrive at the building at an open parking space.
Daisy: All right guys it's time to party! *getting of her car, carefully to not to ruin her dress*
Lilly: Careful Daze, you don't wanna ruin your dress. *also getting off the car, carefully*
Violet: Ha, we wouldn't want that Lil! *teasing Daisy while also getting of the car, carefully*
Dawn: C'mon guys its Christmas, let's all be nice to one another.
Paul: *getting off the car, and coming around to Dawn's side* Like, I'm being to you? *holding out his hand to help Dawn off the car.*
Dawn: *a little surprised* Who are you and what have you done to Paul? *jokingly*
Paul: *smiling* Fine, if you don't want my help then...
Dawn: Ok fine! I'm sorry! *taking his hand, and getting off the car*
May: *looking at Dawn and Paul* Awe, aren't they a good couple?
Drew: *already at May's side* Sure they are.
May: *looking down at Drew* oh, hey.
Drew took out his hand to help May, and gave her a rose.
Drew: You know May; there are a lot of pretty things out there, like this rose. But none are prettier then you.
May: Drew...Thank you. *Drew took the rose and placed it in her hair, behind her tiara*
Drew: *smiling at May* C'mon, let's go. *Taking May's hand*
Before May left with Drew and everyone else to the party, she noticed that the only one left in the car is Misty, looking worried.
May: Drew, hold on. *Letting go of Drew's hand.*
Drew: Hm? Why?
May: It's Misty.
Drew: *looking over to Misty* Oh.
May: *turning back to Drew* Can you wait for me at the door; I want to talk to her alone.
Drew: *smiling at May* Sure, but don't take long though, it's getting cold, okay?
May: Sure.
As Drew left, May headed towards the worried Misty.
Misty: What if he's not there? What if he is? What am I gonna say to him?
May: Misty? You okay?
Misty: *a little surprised* Oh hey May. I thought you left with everyone already.
May: Well, to be honest; I was about to go too, until I saw you.
Misty: Well thanks for being concerned about me. *smiling slightly*
May: So Misty, what's going on?
Misty: Is just that, well...as I looked at you and Drew, and Dawn and Paul, it just got me thinking, that's all.
May: Oh, you mean, Ash, right?
Misty: *blushing* Yea, I guess.
May: So you admit that you like him?
Misty: *sighing* Yea, but I can never admit that to him though.
May: Is that because he might not feel the same way about you?
Misty: *now really looking worried* Yea, I guess.
May: *shaking her head* Misty! Look at yourself! *pointing to her dress*
Misty: What do you mean?
May: Misty, you are the prettiest one of us all! Even Dawn's mom said that you're the prettiest, and she's a Pokémon contest pro! And you're telling me that Ash won't be at least surprised at the sight of you like this?
Misty: *smiling at May* I guess your right May.
May: So c'mon! You have nothing to worry about, so let's go and have fun!
Misty: *worry vanishing fast, being replaced by nervousness* Alright let's go.
Narrator: As the two girls lock up the car, and made their way to the Lab, Drew took May's hand and joined everyone else at the lineup, with Misty taking the rear. Meanwhile, the three sisters entered the Lab.
Tracey: Hey guys look, the Sensational Sisters just came in! *pointing towards the door*
Brock: What?! Where?!
Ash, Brock, and Tracey were generally surprised to see the sisters in their pretty dresses, but without the final sister.
Tracey: Huh, I wonder where Misty is?
Brock: Who cares? But look at those girls! They sure look beautiful!
As Brock was about to drift off towards the sisters, Ash was holding him back.
Ash: Brock don't forget, she might come too, so don't you wanna see her again before you be yourself?
Brock: *a little disappointed* Oh fine, you're right.
A few minutes later Dawn and Paul, came in.
Ash: What are they doing here?! *More for Paul, then Dawn*
Brock: I'm guessing they also got the invite?
It took Dawn at least a minute to point out Ash, and made their way to him. Instantly fire was burning in Paul's eyes.
Dawn: Hey Ash! Long time! *running up to him and hugging him*
Ash: Uh, yea you too. *still a little shocked*
Dawn: Oh my gosh Brock! It's been a while! *also hugging him*
Brock: Uh, hey Dawn. How are things?
Dawn: Great! I've made a lot of contest wins, since the last time we saw each other.
Ash: And you're with Paul?
Dawn: *blushing* Yea, long story.
Ash: *carefully coming up to Paul* Hey, Paul.
Paul: Hey.
Ash: You seem different, almost a little nicer.
Paul: *smiling slyly* Yea, well, I kinda promised Dawn that I would be nice on Christmas, so don't piss me off Ash. *walking away to the snack area*
Ash: He still annoys me even now.
Brock: Don't let him get to you Ash.
At that moment May, and Drew came in.
Ash: Their here too!?
Brock: Huh, it's a blast from the past, don't you think so Ash?
Ash: Yea, the only one that's missing is Misty.
It took May around two minutes to find Ash and company.
May: Hey Ash, it's been way too long! *hugging him*
Ash: Yea, way too long, you look good.
May: *smiling* Thanks Ash! *looking at Brock* Hey Brock! *hugging him* Wow, you grew taller!
Brock: Oh you think?
May: I don't think Brock, I know.
Ash: So Drew's here too, are you guys together, or what? *teasing*
May: Actually Ash...
Drew: *coming up behind May, hugging her* Yea, were together, so what?
May now really blushing.
Brock: Good for you guys, you deserve each other.
Drew: Thanks, Brock. *Looking at Tracey* So, who's this?
Ash: Oh right. Drew this is Tracey, a good friend of ours, And Tracey, this is Drew.
Drew: Hey, any friend of Ash's is a friend of mine.
The two boys greeted each other.
Dawn: Sorry, that I didn't introduce myself before Tracey, I'm Dawn. That guy earlier *pointing towards Paul at the snack table* Is Paul.
The two friends greeted each other.
Ash: *getting worried* Have any of you guys seen Misty?
May: Actually she's...right there. *pointing towards the entrance to the Lab*
Narrator: Everyone turned around to see what May was pointing at, except Ash. When he heard that everyone silently gasped (in a good way) at what they saw, Ash turned around. The moment when he completely saw Misty in her goddess like blue dress, just standing there and looking around, his breath was completely taken away from him. All this time he was worried about what to say to her. He was worried how he would react when he saw her. But he never expected this. Before, long ago when they first became friends, he thought that she was the most annoying person he had ever met, yet at the same time he treated her like a very good friend. But now, just looking at her, he's getting this weird feeling in him. Long time ago, he looked at her only as a good friend. But now he's looking at a girl that is so much more to him, than just a good friend.
