Chapter 7: Only 365 More Days 'Till Christmas!

So Far: Carol has agreed to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with Max and his friends.

After everyone set up their sleeping bags, they had to decide on a movie to watch.

"Action" said Ash.

"Adventure" said Dylan.

"Romance" said Misty, May and Brock.

"He's getting despreate." muttered Max to Carol.

"Mystery, then. It has a little bit of everything." suggested Dylan.

"Good idea" shouted everyone in unison.

"I'll get the popcorn while you set up the movie." said Dylan as he walked towards the kitchen. "And make sure Brock doesn't wet himself if there are any girls in the movie."

About halfway into the movie, Dylan noticed Max and Carol holding hands.

Dylan nudged May, and pointed them out.

"How cute." she mused.

"You think everything's cute." smirked Dylan.

"Not everything." corrected May, giving him a kiss.

After the movie was finished, Max and Carol had fallen asleep. Once they were tucked into thier sleeping bags.

"How about a game" suggested Brock.

"That depends. What game" asked Ash.

A very evil grin spread across the breeder's face.

"Oh, no..." said Dylan slowly.
"Bad feeling..." muttered Misty.

"I got a plan." said Ash.

"Yeah? What" asked May.

"RUN!"

Christmas Morning

"Get up! Get up! Get up! Presents"

"Pikapi"

"Azurill"

Dylan woke up slowly. "Alright! Stop shouting" he said to the assembled group bouncing around the room.

Around him, everyone else started to wake.

"Morning." yawned May, walking over to Dylan.

"Merry Christmas." he replied, giving her a kiss.

"Christmas" May looked over at the pile of presents under the decorated tree. Her eyes lit up.

She glanced back at Dylan. He was grinning and holding a wrapped present.

"For you." he said.

The gift turned out to be a Pokeball. When May opened it, a Swablu appeared.

"It's so cute" cried May as the Cotton Bird Pokemon went off to play with Pikachu.

"Like I said..."

May's gift to Dylan was a blue Pokeball with a Dragon Pokemon carved on it.

A note inside said:
A special ball for a special person.

Love, May.

Possibly the funniest gift was one for Brock. It turned out to be a book titled: Pick-up Lines for Dummies.

He spent the rest of Christmas reading it cover to cover.

Everyone decided to fly home for the holidays.

Ash and Misty were flown to Pallet on Swellow.

Brock borrowed Flygon from Dylan to go home to Pewter.

Dylan, May, Max and Carol agreed to go to Petalburg City for New Year's.

"Won't Dad get angry if he sees you with May" asked Max to Dylan.

Dylan laughed and showed off his Balance Badge. "Hey, if Norman wants a rematch, I'll give him one"

Once Dylan's Salamence landed in Petalburg, Max and Carol swore they saw a red sleigh with a Delibrid inside being pulled by eight Stantler.

"Dedeli"

Everyone looked up just in time to see a red sliegh disappear from sight.

They burst out laughing as they walked towards the Petalburg Gym.

End.
