Turkey Hunting
A turkey walked around the woods. It suddenly heard a snapped twig as it took off running while gobbling like crazy before an arrow struck it down. "Bullseye!" Claude smirked as he, Yang, and the Links walked forward as Claude picked up the now dead turkey in his hands. "Alright! That's one turkey down."
"Heh, we got a lot more to go." Link said.
"Alright, you turkeys! Your days are numbered!" Yang said as they walked through the woods while Claude carried the turkey. Link would find one and struck it down with an arrow.
"Got ya."
"Ahem." A voice caught their attention as they turned to see Hades leaning on a tree. "I know where you can find some turkeys."
"Oh really? And where would that be?" Yang asked with folded arms.
"Follow me." Hades said as they followed him where they would find a sanctuary of small turkeys. "Ta-dah! Kill as many as your heart's content!"
"Oh my Hylia!" Toon Link exclaimed. "Oooh, which should we take down first?"
"Something's fishy here…" Young Link rubbed his chin as Toon Link aimed an arrow and fired it, hitting the turkey head on… but instead of dying, it let out a loud "BA-CAAAAAW!"
"Uh… did anyone hear a "Ba-caw?" Yang asked as the turkey turned to them, as did the other turkeys as the "Turkey" let out a loud screech and flew towards them. "Oh crap!"
"Gotta bail!" Claude said, grabbing Yang's arm and running as the Links ran off as well.
"TOON, YOU IDIOT!" Young Link yelled.
"HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THEY WERE CUCCOS?!"
Hades let out a chuckle, pulling out paper feathers and brown paint. "Heheh, suckers."
Thanksgiving Feast
"Wait, what's this now?" Reimu asked.
"Yeah! It's basically an outside world thing." Sanae said. "You basically have a large Thanksgiving Meal consisting of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and all kinds of things."
"So a feast then?" Reimu guessed.
"Pretty much! There's also a lot of pies! Also, you give thanks to… I dunno, random things? Although it's more of an American thing and not really celebrated in Japan." She shrugged. "Still pretty fun though."
"Hmm… a Thanksgiving Feast…" Reimu rubbed her chin in thought and an idea popped into her head. "Hehehe…" She smirked.
"Uh… Reimu?"
Later…
"What the heck are you doing?" Marisa asked, seeing Reimu having set up everything.
"Thanksgiving Feast. It was Sanae's idea for me to give thanks to the people who will dona- I mean, have a feast for the Shrine goers!"
Marisa sweatdropped. "Nice save." She deadpanned.
"Agh, I should've known it had to do with that…" Sanae sighed.
"Now we just wait for the guests to arrive! I had Aya help me advertise it in the Human Village." Reimu's eyes sparkled. "Oh, this was a genius idea!"
"…Riiiiight, I'm just gonna steal a turkey leg while I'm at it." Marisa said, walking over and pulling off a leg, chomping down on it after pulling it off. "Mmm! Not bad." She said.
"They'll come. They always do." Reimu chuckled.
Football
"Alright, let's play some football!" Sarge exclaimed. "There is nothing more American than throwing the ol' pig skin around!"
"You are absolutely right, sir!" Simmons said.
"Right… now let's get this game going!" Church said.
"Indeed! Grif! Kick us off, will ya?" Sarge positioned the football, holding it in his hand.
"Heh, this is gonna be great!" Grif said as he backed up. "Time to kick this to the moon!" He exclaimed, running straight at the football and swung his leg.
"Yoink!" Sarge said, pulling the football away.
"WAAAAAAAH!" Grif yelled, as he fell on his back. "OOOF!"
"First rule of Football! Never trust anyone!" Sarge said, throwing it to Simmons. "Play ball!" He said as Simmons started running as everyone chased after him while Grif was groaning.
"Why didn't I see that coming… oooow…"
Pies
"Let's see, Pumpkin Pie, blueberry pie, chocolate pie, lemon meringue, pecan pie… ah, I should make a peach pie!" Peach said as she happily made one with the help from her Alcremie and Aphrodite. "Perfect~!" She said once she completed the pie as she put it on a cart as she rolled it out toward the Smash Mansion's dining area. "Alright, that's 100 pies made~!" She smiled happily as everyone had walked in for the Thanksgiving feast. "Hello everyone!"
"Ooooh, something smells good~!" Nora smiled.
"Ooooh! A chocolate chip cookie pie!" Ruby exclaimed.
"Floor ice cream pie? Ooooh, I didn't know they made that!" Pit said as everyone dug in while having themselves a feast… but as Nora got up to get seconds, Wario whistled and put his foot out, tripping Nora up.
"Wah!" Nora yelped, accidentally letting go of her plate as gravy slammed right into the back of Dark Pit's head.
"Hey!" Dark Pit growled, picking up a chocolate pie and threw it at Daisy.
"…Excuse me, sweetie." Daisy said, picking up a turkey leg and threw it at Dark Pit, where he dodged as it smacked Banjo on the face.
"Ouch!"
"Ooooh, we're getting into a food fight? Let's do this!" Kazooie said.
"Now now, Kazooie, let's not-"
"FOOD FIIIIIIGHT!" Kazooie yelled, tossing a pie into Terry, to which he responded by hopping on the table and using Power Geyser to send pies flying everywhere, splattering Dark Samus, Fox, Falco, Zelda, and K. Rool.
"My pies…" Peach said as anime tears rolled down her cheeks as they flew everywhere. "This is the thanks I get after working tirelessly all night…" She groaned while Steve and Alex had shielded themselves by making a makeshift barrier for them as they happily ate while avoiding food getting thrown at them. She let out a sigh and rested her head on her arms while Aphrodite and Strawberry patted her on the head in comfort.
Parade Announcement
"Heyo everyone!" Alder greeted from a screen at the champion's summit.
"Hey." Umber greeted as the others waved at him. "So, what did you call us here for?"
"We're cooking up an announcement for everyone to see soon!"
"Oh?" Gloria wondered. "What is it?"
"It's a surprise! We are revealing it at Unova's Thanksgiving Day Parade."
"Oh!" Iris spoke up. "Something everyone will pay attention to!"
"Curious. At the parade of all places? That's new." Steven said.
"Hmm! I wonder if it will be exciting." Cynthia said. "Crossing fingers for Sinnoh remakes!"
"Heh, watch, it's gonna be the release date for that Unite shite." Gloria chuckled.
"I'm not really gonna expect anything at all." Umber said.
Later, at the Unovan Thanksgiving Day Parade…
"This is… interesting…" Red said, staring at Pikachu costumes dancing to music as there were also some people dressed up as Ash Ketchum.
"My my, it's quite cute." Diantha giggled as two dancers pulled off the cover, revealing a Pikachu face with 25 on its cheeks.
"Soooo uh… where's the announcement?" Gloria wondered as Umber's phone went off as he put it on speaker.
"You're on speaker."
"So what did you think?"
"It was pretty wild, but where's the announcement?" Lance asked.
"That was the announcement! Announcing the 25th anniversary of the Pokemon games!"
Cynthia jawdropped. "That was… the announcement?!" She said as she started sulking.
"Maybe next time lass…" Gloria said, patting her on the shoulder. "I was expecting a release date from Unite, if that makes ya feel any better."
"Welp… that's definitely quite the announcement."
"Oh, forgot to mention we'll be giving out exciting news in the future! Very soon, in fact!"
Iris facepalmed. "You couldn't have mentioned that earlier?!"
"Come on, Cynthia… let's go cheer you up with ice cream." Red said, as they walked off.
Back at Gensokyo
"Uuuugh… where is everyone?" Reimu said. "They should've been here!"
"Maybe they don't know what Thanksgiving is?" Marisa asked, helping herself to some apple pie.
At the Human Village…
"AND THE DREAMLANDERS SCORE A TOUCHDOWN! IT'S NOW 25-5!"
"WOOOOO!" All the residents cheered and raising their glasses up in the air.
"It is truly a happy Thanksgiving to these guys!"
Back at the shrine…
"Mmmph… this is sad…" Reimu sighed, glancing over at Yuyuko helping herself to a plate full of turkey and potatoes.
"Hey!" A voice said as Reimu turned around and saw JINX approaching them, along with the Star Allies, CFVY and Penny.
"You got room for all of us?" Dedede asked.
"Sure! There's plenty!" Reimu's said, her spirits lifted up.
"Yeah, we thought you needed some cheering up." Jade smiled as they happily helped themselves as Meta Knight, Dedede and Taranza had to restrain Kirby from eating everything in sight.
"You're welcome." Yukari said as she popped up behind Reimu. "It didn't go the way you hoped, so I invited them over to cheer you up."
"Thank you!" Reimu smiled as she walked over and happily ate while chatting with her friends, while Yuyuko shared her plate with Kirby as the two of them happily ate along with everyone else.
Yeah, so apparently, the so-called announcement Game Freak had mentioned was just showing off their 25th anniversary logo. My expectations were low but dang, that was still disappointing. (The Pikachu dance was cute though!)
Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving!
