Happy Holidays folks, and welcome to the Holiday Special of Pokémon Takeover: Game Genie! Unlike most holiday specials, this will be canon. Depending on how well this goes, that may or may not be a bad thing. Let's see how things are going; I'm sure our heroes are getting along.
"You're going down, Brendan!" May yelled at Brendan across from the battlefield. "Really? You know, if you quit now I won't have to embarrass you." Brendan responded. Wally watched on nervously and spoke to himself, "Why couldn't today be an easy day?" "Tell me about it," he heard a voice say. Wally shot up and turned to see Dawn and Shauna standing together.
Wally sighed, "I've tried to calm them down all morning, but no dice." He noticed a frantic look on Dawn's face and began to get scared. "Is your friend cheating on me with that princess?" Dawn panicked as she grabbed Wally's shoulders and began to shake them. "Gah! Why are you asking me? He's your boyfriend?" Shauna stopped Dawn, "C'mon Dawn! You know Lucas isn't that type of guy! He likes you way too much!" After recovering Wally thought to himself, "Great, Calem's visiting his mom for the holidays, Lucas is helping royalty, and I'm stuck here. Not fair. Dawn recomposed himself, "Right, sorry Wally," she said as she slowly brought a smile to her face. Wally then pulled out his inhaler and took a puff.
Cue eye catch

Trevor and Tierno grab Calem and pose while he just groans. Ash, Serena, Clemont and Bonnie pose like they do in the anime with Serena sliding closer to Ash. Shauna and Dawn pose back to back with their arms folded; smiling. Lucas seems to be wearing a glove. He then cocks it like a gun. Brendan with his back turned puts his hat on and spins around. He smashes into May. They both glare at each other and Wally tries to break them up.
Our Four Heroes Say:
Chapter 13:
Holiday Heroine
"That's it; let's start, Glaceon, spotlight!" May yelled as she released Glaceon. Brendan was next, "Beedrill, let's rock!" Beedrill was released from its Poké ball; it slowly opened its eyes; it seemed bored. "Sorry pal. Know you wanna sleep, but I could use you for this one." "Drill," it nodded. May continued to look at Brendan, Brendan noticed this, "What? You didn't think that I would use Leafeon did you? I know how he feels about Glaceon, plus it would be a huge disadvantage. Anyways, Beedril, Poison Jab!" Brendan commanded.
Beedril then covered both of its stingers in poison and charged towards Glaceon. "Glaceon, Shadow Ball." May said. Glaceon formed about five purple orbs around her and shot them at the opposing Beedrill.
Beedrill smashed through the orbs easily with his stingers and jabbed Glaceon with one of them. "Gla!" it cried. "Glaceon, can you still go?" May asked with concern. Glaceon nodded its head and confirmed, "Eon!" May smirked, "Now use Ice Shard!" Glaceon shot the shards towards Beedrill. Brendan laughed, "Beedrill, use Agility to dodge!" Beedrill obeyed and easily moved out of the way of each shard.
May growled, "Why isn't anything working?" Brendan simply sighed, "I guess the words Hoenn Champion don't mean a whole lot to you, do they Princess?" May began to get really annoyed, "Glaceon, Secret Power!" Glaceon began to glow pink and rush towards Beedrill. "U-Turn!" Brendan yelled. Beedrill increased its speed and charged towards Glaceon. The two met and caused an explosion. "Beedrill, are you okay?" Brendan asked. "Glaceon, please be alright." The smoke finally cleared, and Glaceon laid unconscious below Beedrill. "Looks like we win round 1! Good work Beedrill!" Brendan said as he lightly pat Beedrill on the back. "Drill," it calmly nodded. It then placed itself back in its Poké ball, due to the effects of U-turn. "Never was a social one," said Brendan looking at the ball.
Suddenly another one of Brendan's Poké ball opened and out came Leafeon. Leafeon jumped on to Brendan's back, and dug into his bag. "Hey Leafeon, what are you doing?" Brendan asked in a surprised tone. Leafeon jumped off its trainers back with an Oran Berry in its mouth. It ran over to Glaceon and placed the berry in front of her. "Leaf! Eon!" it exclaimed. Glaceon lifted its head and kept its eyes on Leafeon. It sniffed the berry for a few moments and finally ate it up. "Glaceon!" it cried as it shot up. It immediately began rubbing up against Leafeon affectionately. May squealed, "That's so cute; who knew Leafeon was such a 'Casanova'?" Brendan yelled in a comical anime style, "Leafeon, you traitor! What are you doing?!" Shauna began laughing, "Looks like the power of love beats Brendan's training any day." Dawn joined in, "Yeah, Glaceon didn't even bother using attract."
Brendan simply responded, "Hey Dawn, how's that boyfriend of yours? Off helping a beautiful princess? Wonder what they're doing right now." Dawn's face froze, then turned into a look of rage. Dawn then picked up a rock and threw it at Brendan's head. Luckily for Brendan, he ducked at last moment without even having to look, "Missed!" he proclaimed before an Energy Ball from Leafeon was sent at him; hitting him causing a small explosion. Everyone began to laugh, especially Wally.
When the smoke began to clear, May was the only one who stopped laughing and noticed 3 marks on Brendan's head, where his hat would normally cover up. Unfortunately, he put his hat on before she could make out what they were. Brendan returned Leafeon to its ball, "I am so sending you back." he mumbled under his breath. He then glared at the group; Wally being the only one who stopped. "Don't hurt me," Wally frighteningly said. Brendan shook his head and threw another Poké ball revealing his Swampert. "Let's make things interesting. Your starter vs my starter. If I win, you do something I want. If you somehow manage to pull a win out, I'll do something you want. Deal?"
Brendan wasn't joking around; his usual playful demeanor was gone. May nodded, "You got yourself a deal." May was about to throw Blaziken's ball before a robotic arm appeared out of nowhere, grabbed her, and pulled her towards a familiar looking balloon. Everyone gasped and looked to where the arm was coming from. Dawn yelled, "You guys again!" The voices in the balloon spoke:
"Prepare for trouble, what a holiday mess!"
"And make it double, 'cause I'm here with Jess!"
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all peoples within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth, that's right!"
"Wobbuffet!"
"Team Rocket." the girls yelled. Brendan sighed, "Okay, I'll play dumb. Ahem, gee who's Team Rocket?" Dawn replied, "A bunch of greedy crooks who steal Pokémon. Shauna spoke up, "You know, a regular basis is one thing, but not during the holidays. That's just wrong!" Meowth laughed, "Look twerp, you should be respecting us. We don't take holidays off." Brendan growled, "Well I don't care what you do on holidays, but put the girl down, and maybe you can fly out of here unharmed." Jessie mocked Brendan, "Oh that's so sweet. But begging won't get your little girlfriend or her Pokémon back!"
Brendan blushed heavily but was still pretty ticked, "Ugh, she is not my girlfriend. I just can't stand people who steal Pokémon." Wally stood up and threw a Poké ball, "Altaria!" the Pokémon cried. "Altaria, use Aerial Ace." Altaria charged towards Team Rocket's robotic arm and easily cut through it. "AAAHH!" May screamed as she fell. Brendan ran over to her position and stuck his arms up; catching her bridal-style at the last second. Both teens looked at each other and blushed; Brendan quickly placed May on the ground. "Alright let's end this, I got stuff to do. Swampert, Hydro Cannon!"
Brendan commanded. Swampert fired a ball of water towards Team Rocket at incredible speed. "Altaria, Dragon Pulse!" Wally said. Altaria fired a purple beam at the water ball; increasing its speed until it connected with the balloon. "We can never catch a break; especially with the new ones." Jessie said. "And they say holidays are the best time of year." James proclaimed. "If this is us at our best, I don't want to see our worst." Meowth stated. "We're blasting off again!" they all screamed as they twinkled off in the distance.
'"Good work, you guys," Brendan and Wally said as they returned their Pokémon. The two high fived and Brendan preceded to put Wally in a headlock and noogie him. "H-Hey, cut it out." Wally exclaimed. Brendan continued to do so until May approached him. "So you got kind of emotional trying to save me." Brendan laughed, "Yeah, I'll always protect the princess." May giggled, "Well I guess for once, I don't hate that too much. You care about me!" Brendan blushed, "No I don't!" he said defensively. May laughed, "Yes you do." Brendan surrendered, "Fine. You're okay, I guess."
May's expression lightened, "Thanks for saving me, Bren." She then wrapped her arms around him; causing Brendan to blush for a moment before smiling and returning the hug. The girls preceded to giggle along with Wally who was then wrapped up in a hug by May, "You too Wally." Wally blushed then returned the hug. Dawn sighed, "I'm glad you guys have each other." Brendan shook his head, "Look, Dawn. Lucas is a lot of things: a dork, sheltered, and a little too nice. But he's not a cheater. I promise you that." Dawn smiled, "I know, but it still just freaks me out sometimes; I'm gonna go check on him." Dawn ran off to find Lucas and the princess, "I worry about her sometimes," May stated.
Wally spoke up, "Well what about you Shauna, are you coming to the holiday party tonight?" Shauna began to play with her fingers, "Well actually, my main priority is to find a gift for Calem." Brendan and Wally both responded, "Oooh yikes." "What's the problem?" May asked. Wally responded, "Calem's not very easy to shop for; considering he doesn't like gifts." Brendan added, "Yeah, Lucas once got him a Pokétch as a gift, and Calem said 'Great, it's not like I have a phone or anything. Seriously, I love it'," while doing a pretty good Calem impersonation. Shauna smiled, "Well I've been asking around, and I have the perfect gift." Everyone leaned in, "What is it?" Shauna giggled, "Not telling." Everyone deadpanned, "Not fair."
Meanwhile
Dawn began searching through the houses and cabins on the island, until she found a large white castle; which might have needed its own zip code. "This better be it," she said after pounding on the door. After a few moments, the door opened and there stood a butler, "Can I help y-" he was cut off by Dawn brushing past him to go inside. She went through the main foyer and made a few turns.
After minutes of searching, she finally found a girl who almost identical to her sitting on a couch, enjoying a drink. The girl looked up and smiled, "Lady Dawn, how are you? It's been so long." Dawn was trying to stay calm, but ultimately couldn't, "WHERE'S MY LUCAS AND WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING TOGETHER?!" Salvia was confused, "Together?"
Dawn was still fuming, "Don't play stupid! I know how much time you guys have been spending together, and it's the holidays; he should be with me!" Salvia stood up and bowed, "I'm deeply sorry. There's just been so much work since we set up an estate here and he's been so very helpful. But I promise you, there's nothing happening between us." Before Dawn could speak up, she heard a voice, "Hey you!"
She turned to see Lucas run up to her. "Listen," Lucas began, "I know these past few days I've been brushing you off, and I'm sorry. I should never take you for granite and I'm so lucky to have you in my life. With the money they gave me to help move in, I wanted to get you this." Lucas held up a platinum necklace; it had gold encrusted around it, and when he turned it to the back the inscription said, 'For My Platinum Jewel'. Dawn covered her mouth in shock; she quickly grabbed the necklace and put it on. "It's beautiful, Lucas." Lucas chuckled, "Not as beautiful as-" he was cut off by Dawn pulling him in for a deep kiss. After a few moments, they broke apart and looked towards Princess Salvia, "Sorry ma'am." they bowed. She giggled, "It's quite alright, now I feel we have a holiday party to attend."
That night at the party
The Pokémon Center was filled with bright lights, extraordinary snack, and loud music. While Tierno was showing off his superb 'dance moves', Trevor was busy taking pictures of all of the rare, dancing Pokémon. Dawn and Lucas were practically on top of each other while talking to one another, while Ash was stuffing his face with Clemont and Bonnie watching on. The group had their own little area to socialize in. The only person who hadn't shown up was Serena.
Speaking of which
Serena was just about to enter the Center before she heard a voice, "Yo." She turned around to see Calem waving at her, "Hey Calem, how's your mom doing?" "She's fine, I guess. We talked a lot and celebrated. Am I in time for the party?" he asked. Serena smiled, "Yeah, but be prepared: Shauna got you a gift." Calem groaned, "Man, she knows I-" Serena begged him, "Please Calem, you know how she is, so can you at least act like it's the greatest gift ever?" Calem pondered for a moment before giving his friend a surrendering sigh, "Fine, let's go inside."
Back at the party
Brendan walked up to where Wally and May were sitting, "Just got that girl's number," he said handing his friends the slip of paper. They both read the numbers, "11?" Brendan quickly snatched the paper in embarrassment, "Eh, must have been a lesbian. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Doesn't matter because every other girl here wants me." Almost on cue, Lisia ran up to the group; staring at the boys.
"Okay, which one of you is Brendan?" Brendan proudly answered, "Me!" Lisia giggled, "Good." She then grabbed Wally's face and pulled him in for a big kiss. Wally's eyes widened, "Hmmph," was really all he could muster. After about 20 more seconds Lisia let him go, and gave him a peck on the cheek; she giggled then ran off. Brendan's jaw nearly fell to the ground, while Wally collapsed from the excitement. Which caused May to bust out laughing.
"That's not even fair!" Brendan whined. May finally calmed down, "Oh be quiet, it's probably cause of the mistletoe," she said pointing up at the ribbons on the ceiling; one of the ribbons had dangling mistletoe. Immediately noticing this, both teens blushed. Brendan spoke first, "You know May, we don't hav-" he was cut off by May smashing her lips into his. His eyes widened for a while, but he soon closed them and began to kiss her ferociously back. After a few seconds, he pulled away, "Or we could?" he asked. "Yeah we could," she confirmed before continuing to kiss him back.
Back with Calem and Serena
Serena and Calem were happily talking with the rest of the group; Calem of course being the quieter of the two. After a few awkward moments of conversation, Shauna walked up to Calem holding a Poké ball. "Happy Holiday's Calem," she said handing the ball to him. Calem inspected the ball for a few moments before slowly taking it, "Thank you, Shauna." Shauna grew a sad look on her face, "Aren't you going to open it?" Calem took another look at the ball before throwing it. After the burst of light, a shiny Rhyhorn appeared. Calem gasped, "R-Rhyhorn?!" The Rhyhorn rubbed itself up against Calem's leg. Shauna giggled, "Yeah, I was talking to your mom one day, and this Rhyhorn had an egg. She decided to take care of the egg, and she told me to give you this one."
Calem finally spoke up, "That explains why Rhyhorn wasn't home. Shauna, this is amazing; it's the best gift I've ever gotten! But I didn't get anything for you," he finished somewhat sadly. "That's okay Calem," she said still smiling. "No it's not," he added, almost on the verge of freaking out. Shauna gulped, "Okay Shauna," she thought to herself, "This is when you tell him how you feel. This is the Coup de Grace; this is the moment." "Calem I-" she spoke before being caught in a tight, uncharacteristic embrace my Calem.
"Here," he said holding her. Shauna's body froze; her eyes widened and her mouth was hanging open; she looked as if she was going to cry. "Guys, Calem's hugging me! CALEM'S HUGGING ME!" she nearly screamed. She was about to raise her arms to hug him back but she finally passed out, due to the circumstances. Calem began to shake her while still holding her. The group surrounding them happily replied, "It's a Saturnalia miracle!"
