Hey everybody, welcome back to a new chapter of this!
Happy holidays, everyone!
Happy sixth day (sorry if I'm wrong) of Hanukkah!
Merry (almost) Christmas!
Happy (almost) Kwanzaa!
Happy (almost) New Year!
Here's our first letter from Red, wishing the Smashers happy holidays.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Letters from Red: Happy Holidays
"Hey guys! We got a letter from Red!" said Squirtle holding an envelope. "I wanna see!" said Ivysaur. "Let me open it." said Charizard. Charizard tore open the envelope and toke out the letter. "What's it say?" said both Squirtle and Ivysaur as they got on Charizard's shoulders to see.
"Dear Everyone, I made it to Johto to safety. I got a Cyndaquil for my starter. I named him Ignatius. I also caught a Mareep, who I named Artemis. Ignatius is kind of a hothead, kinda like you, Pyro (Red's nickname for Charizard). Artemis is a bit cold and snarky, but she's starting to warm up to me." read Charizard.
"Nice to see Red's doing fine." said Squirtle. "Looks like we have some new friends." said Charizard. "Can I continue?" said Ivysaur. "Sure." replied Charizard.
"I just got my first Gym badge in Violet City. The Gym Leader, Falkner, specializes in Flying Types. I wish you guys could be here. I'd know you'd like to see the Sprout Tower, Blossom (Ivysaur's nickname). I miss you guys sometimes. Sometimes I feel I shouldn't have left." read Ivysaur.
"He misses us." said Charizard. "Of course he does." said Ivysaur. "Can I finish it?" asked Squirtle. "Go right ahead." said Ivysaur.
"You guys will probably get this letter around the holidays, so Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Pyro, Blossom, and Mikey (Squirtle's nickname), I love you guys and best wishes to you three and the rest of the Smashers, especially the newcomers I've yet to meet person. Happy Holidays, Pokemon Trainer Red." read Squirtle.
"Happy holidays to you too, Red." said Squirtle. "He even remembered the nicknames he gave to us." said Ivysaur. "How about we show this to the others?" said Charizard. "Yeah!" replied the other two Pokemon.
I hope you guys like this.
Also, in this story, all the Pokemon except Jigglypuff and Ivysaur are male.
Enjoy the time you get to spend with your families and hopefully none of you are sick for the holidays. I got the flu after Christmas last year. It sucked.
Also, the nicknames for some of Red's Pokemon are a bit of foreshadowing to the names of some characters in a Pokemon story I'm working on. Maybe you already know who Artemis and Pyro could be.
That's all folks!
