A New Friend

Pikachu

Part 26

Sunday March 21, 2004

Well, I'm finally updating this story! Took me long enough. ^_^ Well, enjoy!

The plane to Pallet Town arrived on Christmas Eve in what seemed like the

beginning of a snowstorm.

"Whoa. It's coming down hard isn't it?" Maggie said as they stared out of

the lobby window.

"Well, come on. We should get going to my house. If we wait much longer we

won't be able to see." Ash said. They stumbled their way into the beginning

snowstorm and began walking to Ash's house.

"Please tell me it's not much further." Misty said.

"It's not. Here we are." Ash said. They made their way up what they thought

was the walkup and rang the doorbell.

"Oh Ash! What an unexpected surprise! Hello Misty! And Brock. And who are

you?" Delia said.

"Mom, this is our new friend Maggie. Now can we come inside before we

become human snowmen?" Ash said.

"Of course sweetie. Come on in." Delia responded. They fast walked inside

and quickly shut the door.

"Wow. It's coming down. This might actually be the first Christmas with

snow." Delia said.

"Good. Listen mom. We weren't going to stay long. After Christmas, we were

going to go back to the Flag Lands." Ash said.

"Flag lands?" Brock asked.

"Yeah. They finally named the region. There's supposed to be a few new

Pokemon there." Ash said.

"Well, we arrived a little later than we meant to. It's like what now? 10

P.M.?" Misty said.

"Oh my! You're right! We should go to bed so we can get up early tomorrow!"

Delia said.

"I'll take my old room mom." Ash said. Then Pikachu and him rushed upstairs

and shut the door.

"I think we'll be okay sleeping in the living room Mrs. Ketchum." Brock

said.

"Okay. Have a good night's sleep!" Delia said. With that, she too went

upstairs and went to bed.

***The next morning…***

"MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Ash yelled, startling everyone. Misty got up with

irritation.

"Ash you stupid numbskull!" Misty yelled. Ash was wearing a weird Santa

outfit with presents stockpiled in his hands.

"Well ho-ho-ho to you to Misty." Ash said sarcastically. He tossed two

presents at her and went to wake up Brock and Misty.

"Sometimes I truly hate him." Misty thought as she began opening her

presents…

They spent most of the day happily munching on Christmas goodies that Ash's

mom had made. They laughed and joked as their stomachs became slightly

bloated. Finally, at about 7 P.M., Ash went up to Delia.

"Mom, can you drive us to the airport. We need to get back to the Flag

Lands." Ash said.

"Sure honey. Just get the others and I'll be more than happy to." Delia

responded. Ash rounded up everyone and before they knew it, they were back

at the airport, getting ready to fly to Cloud City where the next Gym was.

"You be sure to come visit again Ash." Delia said.

"Don't worry. We will." Maggie said. With that, they waved goodbye and

boarded the plane.

To be continued…

Okay. I'm desperately trying to break the brain fart I have on this story.

Well, review! ^_^
