-EVAN AAML

In the last chapter, Everyone found out of Ash and Misty's relationship. Also, Christmas has just ended, and Evan prepares for departure.

Everyone looked at him disappointed as he put on his messy clothes and prepared to leave. But before he did, Ash stopped him. ''Evan wait...why do you have to leave?'', Ash asked. Evan then faced him. ''Because, I am the spirit of Christmas, now that it is over, I must leave. I am only in this form from Dec.1st till Christmas's end'', Evan said. Misty then stepped in. ''Can't you stay?'', Misty asked. ''I couldn't possibly stay here and be of a bother'', Evan said. It was Brock's turn t interfear. ''You can travel with us...on our Pokemon journey'', Brock said. ''As much as I would love to my friends, I'm afraid that's impossible. I must spread the Christmas spirit around'', Evan said. He then walked towards the center of the room. When he reached it, he stopped and faced everyone. He then smiled. Suddenly, he began to glow emensfully. The white light nearly blinded everyone in the house. Eventually, everyone's eyes focused and they were able to see. Evan's attire suddenly turned to a white color. And then he began to float in midair. He then amazed everyone with yet another trick. Suddenly, a huge pair of white, elegant wings appeared from his back. This new feature made the onlookers gaze on wonder. The last thing to appear was a band of light over his head, a halo.

''Here is my angel form...the true sight of the spirit of Christmas'', Evan said. Evan then notticed tears in their eyes at the thought of losing one of their friends. ''Don't worry, I shall not leave you'', Evan said. He then pulled out his medalion and brought it into view. ''This is no ordinary medalion, did you notice the heart in the center?'', Evan asked. Everyone nodded, seeing it. ''Well that means that this shall be...in your hearts. I want you all to have it'', he continued. He then made the medalion levitate in fron of him. It then turned to light and scattered into many pieces. Each piece then flew to a designated person and went inside of their bodies...to their hearts. ''There, we are now a part of each other...we will now never be alone nor forgotten'', Evan said. He then went higher into the air. ''Before I leave you, I would like to ask you to go outside'', Evan said. He then turned to light and disappeared, with nothing but sparkle left.

As they were told, everyone ran outside immediatly. They then notticed a wonderful sight in the sky. A red sleigh floated in the night sky, attached to ropes that lead 9 deer ( Stantler if you like the idea ), the one in the front starngley glowing red at the front. In the sleigh were two figures. One was a jolly looking old man. This man was none other than Santa Claus. The other was one everyone knew...Evan, the spirit of Christmas. ''I would like to thank you for all you have done for me...you are all true friends and family'', Evan said. ''Take care'', he finished. Santa then got ready to leave. ''I too wish to thank you all, for Ash. Misty, and Brock helping me before, ( I never actually saw that episode, but I know it happened ), on their first journey together, and now for showing me and Evan the true meaning of Christmas'', Santa Claus said. He then shook the reins he was holding and the Reindeer took off. Evan then stood up and held his hands out into the air. Suddenly, a huge Christmas star appeared in the sky, one that was big enough for them to go in.

As Santa Claus and Evan headed to it, Evan shot his hand down torwards everyone on the ground and something appeared, which slowly fell to them. Evan and Santa Claus then smiled and flew into the star, which disappeared afterwards, exploding into many other stars. As everyone watched the sight, Ash notticed what was falling from the sky. What was falling was yet another Christmas star, but this one was the most beautiful of all and was attached to a note. Ash caught the star as it slowly reached the ground and took off the note. Everyone then stood behind him to see while Ash read the letter.

''I wish to thank you all again for your help...I will never forget you...and remember...seeing is believeing, ( a quote I got from The Polar Express, a Christmas movie, I loved the quote ). P.S- This Christmas star and note will not disappear like the others, so you may keep them, thought you might like them. Sincerely, Evan, a fan of Christmas, ( sounds familiar? )'', Ash read aloud. Everyone smiled at this and looked up to the sky, this will be a Christmas they will never forget.

Later that day, ( in the morning ), everyone gathered at Ash's house. May and Max's parents were going to leave for home that day, so everyone wanted to say their goodbyes. Team Rocket was also going to leave, feeling that they overstayed their welcome. Prof.Oak was going to take a break from the lab and just relax for a week or so, and Mrs.Ketchum was already getting ready for New Year's. Gary and Tracy had decided to join Ash and the others to get a look at the Hoenn region. Everyone at this time was at Ash's house, however, Ash and Misty were outside...talking.

''So, you guys are heading off soon?'', Misty asked slightly depressed. ''Yep'', Ash simply answered. Misty looked to the ground. ''I'm sure going to miss you'', Misty said sadly. Ash seemed confused and notticed tears coming down Misty's face. ''Why? You have to come with us'', Ash said. Misty then looked up ay him in shock. ''You mean it!?'', Misty asked hopefully. Ash then put his hands on her shoulders, facing her closley. ''I could never leave without you'', Ash said. Misty then cried tears of joy as she ran into Ash, putting her head in his chest. They stood there cradeling each other for awhile. They then stared at each other. Suddenly, it started to snow. Ash and Misty notticed that it was a...Christmasy snowfall. Ash and Misty smiled to each other as they fell into a passionet kiss. Everyone in the house secretly watched their kiss in joy...as the snowfell...magically. Things were certainly going to be different now.

Alright! I'm finished! Now I can tell you my next story! Well, my next one is a one shot, a New Year's special. I know you must be sick of all the delayed holiday specials, but after this one shot, I will have a long, none holiday fic. Oh, and this one shot will also be the first Contestshippy one I wrote, ( mostly aaml, contestshipping is little and at the end ), and it has a special apperance, not by me, but my little brother! Anyway, thanks.

sincerely, evan, a fan of aaml -EVAN AAML
