Episode 55: A Pokemon Christmas

The next day is Christmas day, and with Akira's departed mother, Nicole who has been brought back to life on the holiday, Akira and the others want to make this special for them, so they are staying in a cabin and are having a christmas party. The snow falls outside while everyone is inside. Alistair, Winnie, and Shippo are playing with Pikachu, Meloetta, Cubone, Pichu, Ember, and Latios and Latias. Akira and Nicole are sitting on the couch watching them play with a ball while Hana and Diana are decorating the cabin for the party while Chase has already left for the store to get some groceries for dinner. Of course, Alistair, Winnie, and little Shippo are already getting attached to their grandmother.

Nicole smiles and says, "I must say, Akira, I never thought that…"

"That I would have kids at my current age?" Akira confirms with a smile.

"Indeed," Nicole says.

Then asks, "So… how is Yoshino doing after such a long time? Did he miss me? Does he ever think of me?"

"My dad has been fine. He and I really miss you, but we're able to get through okay, especially with Sake."

"Sake?" Nicole asks.

Akira nods his head and says, "She's my stepmom who is a Zoroark. Of course, he still really loves you, and he and I love Sake. And no one can ever replace you."

Nicole smiles and says, "I'm glad to hear that you're all doing alright."

Then turns to see Hana and Diana finishing the decorations, "And It's nice to see you have wonderful friends."

"Yeah. I really enjoy traveling with them," Akira says.

He looks at his watch and notices the time, "Is that the time? I better give Winnie her bottle."

"Actually, Akira… let me try something," Nicole insists.

Akira soon realizes what his mom means by it.

"Okay mom," Akira says.

Then calls out, "Winnie! Feeding time!"

Winnie then runs to Akira with glee and her daddy picks her up. She soon notices that Akira doesn't have her bottle in her hand.

Akira: Winnie, "How about we try something a little different this time?"

Winnie seems confused as Akira gently hands her to Nicole. Nicole takes Winnie and looks at her with a smile while Winnie looks curiously at Nicole. Nicole then opens her shirt to reveal her breast. Then has Winnie close to her chest and has her head relaxed on it. Before she knows it, Winnie figures out what Nicole is planning, thus slipping her mouth over her breast and begins to suck on it. Akira and Nicole are glad to see Winnie is eating and she looks very relaxed.

Just then, Chase enters the house and says, "I'm back and I think I got everything we need for tonight. And I think I got everything for the Pokemon, especially the little ones."

"Thanks Chase, you guys sure you don't need my help," Akira says.

Diana walks over, "Not a chance. This is a very special Christmas for us, especially for you, your mother, and your family."

"We want you to spend as much time with your mother as you wish, and we want the little ones to spend time with her too," Hana says.

"It's an extra special Christmas for you and your family," Chase says.

Then holds the groceries, "And I bought everything for the special dinner for tonight."

"For people and Pokemon," Hana says.

"Thanks guys. This really means a lot to me," Akira says.

Soon, Winnie stops sucking on Nicole's breast and falls asleep. Nicole smiles and plays Winnie on the couch next to her and closes up her shirt. Then brings a small blanket and tucks her in.

Nicole giggles, "You know, Winnie reminds me of you, Akira."

That causes Akira to blush, "I… I don't know about that."

"Don't be stupid dear. It was w-" Nicole says.

Suddenly, Akira hears something "Do you hear that?"

"Hear what?" Nicole asks.

Akira stands up and walks towards the window to hear familiar laughter… a Pokemon's laughter.

"Team Rocket. They're close by," Akira says.

"Team Rocket?" Nicole says, confused.

Soon, Akira and the others, including, Pikachu, and the other Pokemon are on high alert. Everyone, including the Pokemon hurry outside to see smoke coming out of the woods and can tell who is there.

Hana says, "It's them alright."

Akira turns to his mother, "Mom, take Alistair and Shippo inside."

Nicole grows worried, "Akira, what's going on? Who is Team Rocket?"

"We'll explain later. Right now, we need to get back inside," Diana says.

Diana and Nicole hurry to get the little ones inside. Akira, Hana, and Chase remain outside and are ready to battle.

Akira calls out in anger, "Alright, Team Rocket, we know you're here. Come out and show yourselves!"

Just then, the smoke clears to reveal Team Rocket as they always do their motto.

Jessie:

Prepare for trouble!

James:

Make it double!

Jessie:

To protect the world from devastation!

James:

To unite all peoples within our nation!

Jessie:

To denounce the evils of truth and love!

James:

To extend our reach to the stars above!

Jessie:

Jessie!

James:

James!

Jessie:

Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light

James:

Surrender now or prepare to fight!"

Meowth:

Meowth! That's right.

Hana becomes irritated, "What are you creeps doing here?"

"Still after Pikachu and the other Pokemon?" Chase demands, annoyed.

"What do you think?" Jessie remarks.

"Obviously after my kids, too," Akira suspects.

"To be fair, the boss wants us to take all your Pokemon too, due to the fact that we never need such Pokemon before," Meowth says.

"They surely would make a fine addition to the boss' army," James adds.

Akira says, "Never! I travel the entire globe to make my team what it is today. Ready, guys?

"That's right. We're not going to let you take any of them," Hana says.

"Don't worry, we haven't forgotten about yours," Jessie says.

"Considering that you have a lot of rare Pokemon yourself," James says.

Meowth points his paw towards Pikachu, "Including that Pikachu of yours."

Just then, Nicole steps outside and towards the others.

Nicole angrily calls out, "Oi! No one attacks my son like that."

Akira, Hana, Chase, and Pikachu are shocked.

"Mom, what are you doing? Get back inside!" Akira panics.

"Yeah. We fought with those creeps before," Hana says.

Diana hurries out of the cabin and says, "They're right. Team Rocket are criminals and will try to steal our Pokemon if we're not careful."

Alirair, Winnie, Shippo, Meloetta and Hana's other Pokemon hurry outside to see the situation.

"Don't worry, I'll help you take care of them," Nicole says.

Team Rocket soon becomes confused to see Nicole, who is a new face.

Jessie asks, "Do we know you?"

"No, but you will. The name's Nicole Silver, and you three are going to take a hike," Nicole answers, taking out a Pokeball and activating it.

She then throws the Pokeball, "Victini, go!"

The Pokeball soon opens and reveals a Pokemon.

The Pokemon leaves Akira and the others surprised.

Akira is more shocked, "No way! That did not happen."

"It's a long story, but now," Nicole says.

Then turns to see Team Rocket, "Time to show them what happens when someone attacks my son and his friends."

Team Rocket is just as shocked to see the Pokemon they have never seen.

"What is that? A Pokemon?" Jessie asks.

"I don't know, it looks super rare," Meowth says.

"One more Pokemon to add to the pile," James says, rubbing his hands together, eagerly.

"Wow! I have never seen a Pokemon like that before," Hana says.

Diana's eyes begin to sparkle, "It's adorable."

"Victini may be cute, but it's also very powerful as well," Nicole says.

Then calls out, "Victini, use Flame Charge!"

Victini then creates fire around it's body and charges at Team Rocket. Victini strikes at Team Rocket with full force. The group falls down into the snow. Jessie sits up and notices her hair is on fire.

Jessie panics and screams as she runs around, "My hair is on fire! My hair is on fire! Someone put it out! Someone put it out!"

James grabs Jessie and pulls her to a pile of snow, "Over here!"

Jessie quickly dips her head into the snow and the fire dies out. She sighs in relief to feel the fire has been put out. Hana and the others turn their heads to Nicole as Victini flies back to her.

Hana happily says, "That's amazing."

"Wow Nicole, that was incredible," Diana says.

"And what power," Chase says.

"Yeah mom, that was impressive," Akira says.

"Thank you, that's very sweet," Nicole says.

Akira then brings out his Pokeball, "Hey mom, what if I told you that I not only have kids, but I'm also engaged?"

Nicole is surprised, but soon becomes excited, "Really? Who's the lucky girl?"

"Who's the lucky Pokemon, you mean," Akira confirms.

He then throws his Pokeball, "Judy, go!"

Just then, Judy comes out of the Pokemon, realizing that Judy is Akira's fiance is a surprise.

"Judy?! Judy is really your fiance?!" Hana asks, surprised.

Diana giggles, "No wonder she's so attached to you, Akira."

"What can I say? She's my zing," Akira says.

Judy nods her head in agreement and shows a happy expression.

Akira then calls out, "Judy… use Pyro ball on James."

Judy then performs the attack and smacks James in the stomach.

"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" Hana says.

Pikachu then performs Thunderbolt and electrocutes Team Rocket. Soon, the three are knocked out.

"Perfect," Akira says.

Soon Team Rocket regains consciousness as Akira takes out a gun and points it to Team Rocket, that makes them panic a bit.

Akira sternly says, "You three have some nerve attacking us on the most magical day of the year! Don't you ever take a break from trying to take our Pokemon, especially mine?"

Team Rocket is very nervous as they step back to see that Akira has a weapon in his hand.

"I suggest you get out of here before you really make me mad," Akira says.

Hana says, "And trust me, you already made the rest of us mad."

Jessie nervously says, "Of course. We-well leave. In fact we have an appointment."

"Yes. We have a hair appointment and to grab some lunch," James says.

Meowth says, "And not with guns or angry people and Pokemon."

Soon, Team Rocket runs away as they shout, "We're running off again!"

Akira puts the gun away, "Sorry you had to see this, guys."

"It's okay. I think it's understandable. Team Rocket is always butting into our lives," Hana says.

"It's alright. We know that you want to spend some time with your mom," Diana says.

"At least this will give Team Rocket a warning," Chase says.

Just then, Akira feels something around him. He looks as he feels Judy gently putting her arms around him.

"Thanks, honey. I really need that comfort," Akira says.

Judy smiles and continues to hug him.

"In fact," Akira says.

He turns around until his and Judy's noses touch one another. Soon, the two begin to kiss each other. Pikachu covers Alistair and Winnie's eyes, rolling his own due to their curiosity. Shippo giggles in reply, and Pikachu covers his eyes with his tail. Hana looks at Akira and Judy to notice they both have a ring of the same design on their fingers.

"At least that would explain the ring on Judy's hand," Hana says.

"Yeah. I say those two were meant for each other," Diana says.

"I agree. And why Judy is also like a mother to Alistair," Chase says.

Nicole simply smiles to see how happy her son is and the friends and family he has.

Later on, the group are having their little Christmas party. Akira, Nicole, and Hana prepare the food for the dinner while Chase and Diana play with the young Pokemon in the room. They are able to make a lot of food like a buffet for all humans and Pokemon in the cabin. At the same time, Akira explains to him what has gone on with his life, and Nicole can't be even more prouder.

Nicole turns to Akira and says, "I still can't believe what my son grew up to be. He's also a police officer, he is a dad, and engaged. I am so proud of you, Akira."

"Thanks mom," Akira says.

Then notices, "Say, who's your friend beside you?"

Nicole becomes confused. Then turns her head to see herself beside her. The clone shakes her head with a smirk, Akira as well.

Akira says, "Okay Shippo, I think grandma had enough excitement for today."

Then the close changes back to Shippo, his normal self and begins to chuckle.

"Oh boy, Shippo is able to change form," Hana says.

"Yeah. I need to keep an extra close eye on him," Akira says.

Shippo giggles as Alistair steps forward.

Alistair sternly says, "Pika! Pika Pikachu!" (Shippo! Come here now!"

Shippo barks, (Alright alright.)

Then walks back to Alistair and the others.

Surprised, Akira says, "Wow. Alistair really is my spitting image."

"He definitely takes it after you, Akira," Chase comments, making the girls giggle.

Judy looks at the block as she says, "Cind Cinderace? Cinderace Cind Cinderace Cind Cind." (Is that the time? Better get the kids to bed for a nap.)"

Hearing Judy, Akira says, "Already Judy? I thought we would go outside and build a snowman."

Hana says, "I like to make a snow Pikachu."

"Pika." (Me too.) Pikachu says.

Judy turns to the kids, "Cind Cinderace. Cind Cind Cindarace." (Coke on now, kids. Let's get you in for a nap.)

Alistair, Winnie, and Shippo lower their heads in disappointment.

"Don't worry, we'll have fun after you have your nap," Akira says.

The kids smile in reply.

Diana then has an idea, "We should have the other Pokemon come out too.

"Can't let them miss out on all the fun," Chase says.

Akira then throws his Pokeballs, "Clarissa, Celestia, Hurricane, Frosty, Shenzi, come on out!"

Hana throws her Pokeball, "Come on out, everyone!"

Diana and Chase do the same. Soon all the Pokemon come out of their Pokeballs.

Song:

Everybody's laughing, everybody's thrilled,

Everybody's having fun all around this world.

Hana along with her friends and all the Pokemon play outside in the snow.

Song:

We'll be friends forever - together feels so right.

So much catching up to do - no one's gonna sleep tonight!

Everyone soon begins to make snow angels and sled down a hill.

Song:

Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey!

Pikachu's Vacation!

La, la, la, la, la, yeah...

Winter Vacation!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey!

Pikachu's Vacation!

La, la, la, la, la, hey!

Winter Vacation!

La, la, la, la, la...

Soon, they all begin to snowball and fight with one another. Pikachu ends up getting Chase in the face, making the others laugh.

Song:

Everybody's feeling the magic in the air,

Now's the time to come along,

Soon, everyone begins to make snowmen and Pokemon shape like Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur and other Pokemon. Akira along with Nicole, Alistair, Winnie, Shippo, and Victini make some snowmen and other Pokemon.

Song:

Make memories we're gonna share,

And hear the music everywhere!

After the fun outside, they all are inside having Christmas dinner and sweets.

Song:

Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey!

Pikachu's Vacation!

La, la, la, la, la, yeah...

Winter Vacation!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey!

Pikachu's Vacation!

La, la, la, la, la, hey!

Winter Vacation!

La, la, la, la, la...

Hana, Akira, Nicole, and the others also have a relaxing time by the fire as Hana play some music with her leaf flute. Time has gone by, and everyone, humans and Pokemon have a lot of fun. Just then, they see that the sun is starting to set. Akira knows what it means.

Akira turns to Nicole, "It's almost time."

"Yes. It's almost sundown," Nicole answers.

Akira sighs, "I wish things would have gone a bit slower."

"I know Akira, but I still had a wonderful time with you and your friends. And I'm very proud of you for how much you've grown.

Reluctant, Akira says, "Honestly mom… I feel like I don't want to say goodbye again… seeing how hard it was for me to let go of you about twenty years ago.

Nicole then places his hand on Akira's cheek, "I know it's hard sweetie, but you know that I have to go now. But don't worry, I will always be with you. Even though I won't be around anymore."

"I know. I'm going to miss you, after all this time," Akira says.

Akira softly says, "Goodbye mom."

Nicole softly says, "This isn't goodbye. The French say au revoir."

Soon, Nicole begins to slowly vanish, but not before she begins to sing.

Nicole:

Aloha ʻoe,

Hearing the song makes Akira remember. Nicole used to sing it to him every night to help him sleep when he had a nightmare. And soon, Akira begins to sing along with her.

Akira:

aloha ʻoe

And then, they both sing together.

Nicole and Akira:

E ke onaona noho i ka lipo

Hana and the others listen closely, as mother and son go on in their final moment together.

Nicole:

One fond embrace

Akira:

A hoʻi aʻe au

Nicole and Akira:

Until we meet again

By the time Akira opens his eyes, Nicole has vanished into thin air. However, in her place is a Pokeball with a note attached to it. Akira bends down and picks up the Pokeball with the note attached. Before he can read the note, the Pokeball opens and Victini appears much to Akira and everyone else's shock.

Victini happily says, "Tini! (Hello!)

Hana surprisingly says, "It's Victini."

"This is a surprise," Chase says.

Curious, Diana asks, "But why is it here?"

Akira then decides to look at the note and reads it, "Dear Akira… if you are reading this, then I will be dead by now. But I left behind a little something for you to remember me by, Victini. I asked your father to give it to you as soon as you're over 18. I hope you'll take care of it just like I did so long ago. Looking forward to seeing you again real soon… on the other side. Have a good life. Love… mom."

Akira becomes surprised to see his mom has left her Victini to him. He also can't help but smile to see that he has a new friend on his team.

Akira turns to Victini and says, "Well Victini… looks like you'll make a fine addition to my team."

"Victin!" (Yay!) Victini happily cheers. Then hugs Akira.
