Pokémon: Christmas Special
Wind howled through the cold night outside as everyone was in their peaceful homes.
It was two hours before midnight at the Rescue Team Blackfire's Base but the entire team wasn't able to sleep.
All four members stared into the raging flames of the fireplace in silence before it was broken.
"I'm tired. . ." The silver Eevee mumbled as she plopped onto her black bed.
"You're always tired, Dash." The female Torchic mumbled as she sat on her own bed.
A blur of red suddenly tackled Dash knocking her from her bed onto the floor.
"MUAHAHAHAHA!!! I FINALLY CAUGHT YOU OFFGUARD!!!" The red Vulpix boasted as she sat on the Eevee's back.
"Nngh? You said something, Kyuubi?" Dash mumbled before yawning and giving the fox a bored look.
Kyuubi twitched before an anime veins appeared as a dark cloud hanged over her. "DASH NO BAKA!!!"
The Vulpix then proceeded to attack the now-franticly dodging silver Eevee.
"Weirdoes. . ." The white Absol mumbled as he watched the scene, sweatdropping, before sighing and popping a Pecha Berry into his mouth.
Dash, now more awake than before, grinned and nodded in agreement before dodging an Ember attack. "Yup! I'm a super weirdo! Right, Atsuko-Chan?"
Atsuko merely sighed. "Sometimes I think that you're the only one that agrees with another when given that comment."
The Eevee laughed a bit before jumping out of the Vulpix's Tackle range. "Maybe or maybe not!"
Atsuko sighed a bit before grinning. "Ne, Dash-Chan. Remember that time when you went hyper from all of that chocolate?"
Dash evaded another Tackle before she landed on one of the branches.
Blinking, the Eevee put on a thoughtful expression before her eyes lit up in realization. "Oh yeah! I remember now! It was hilarious!"
The Absol and the Vulpix that were listening, blinked before their ears perked up as the two looked on curiously. "What was hilarious?"
The Eevee gave a lazy smile. "Himitsu! It's a secret! Find it out yourself, Kyuubi-Chan. Shun-kun."
Kyuubi puffed out her cheeks as Shun sighed, his head dropped a bit in resignation.
Atsuko let out a soft chuckle. "How 'bout I tell you that story?"
The younger two jumped up excited before they grabbed their beds and dragged it towards Atsuko.
Dash sighed a bit still smiling as she made herself comfy on the branch. "Hope you don't mind me listening to it as well, Atsuko-Chan."
The Torchic smiled slightly as the other two finally made themselves comfortable. "Go ahead."
Kyuubi lay curled up on her red-and-gold bed gazing curiously at Atsuko as Shun lay sprawled out with his head resting on his paws.
"It was about two Winters ago and a week before the Christmas. . ."
---Flashback---
The soft sound of leaves rustling was enough to awaken the twelve-year-old Torchic.
"Nngh. Dash-Chan?" Atsuko mumbled as she yawned. "What exactly are you doing up?"
A soft chuckle was heard before more rustling. "Decorating of course!"
Blinking her black eyes, the chick Pokémon shook herself awake. "Decorating? What for?"
Atsuko's vision cleared as she saw the Eevee bustling about holding Christmas adornments. "Already?"
Dash skidded to a stop before giving her a look. "What do you mean by 'already' we only have one week before Christmas comes!"
The Torchic sweatdropped before sighing. "That's one whole week, Dash-Chan. You should relax."
However, Atsuko's recommendation went by unheard as the Eevee dashed around the base in a blur of silver.
(Dash. . .) The fire Pokémon thought as she sighed and shook her head before cuddling into her bed. (Oh well. . . I'll help later. Too tired right now. . .)
---Thirty Minutes Later---
"Um. . . Atsuko-Chan?" Dash called out with a nervous look on her face.
No response from the still-sleeping chick Pokémon.
The Eevee puffed out her cheeks before she used her last resort.
"ATSUKO-CHAN!!!"
The sleeping chick Pokémon fell off her bed with a 'thump' before a groan was heard.
"Ow. . . Darn it Dash! What now?!" Atsuko shouted annoyed as she rubbed her head.
". . . A little help please?" The evolution Pokémon mumbled, embarrassment evident in her voice.
"Huh? Why do you nee-ahahahahahaha!!!" Atsuko cut her own question off as she began rolling on the floor laughing.
Dash sweatdropped at the laughing Pokémon and sighed as her ears drooped and a dark cloud hang above her head.
The silver Eevee was entangled in Christmas lights and tied against the tree as several stockings were scattered around her and a star on her head.
"Atsuko-Chan!!! Help me!!! Please!!!" The Eevee whimpered struggling against the binds.
The Torchic's laughter quieted down a bit as she wiped away a tear from laughing too hard. "Alright, alright."
---Several Minutes Later---
Dash sighed out of relief as she plopped onto her bed. "Arigatou gozaimas, Atusko-chan 3!"
The Torchic grinned and sniggered slightly. "No problem. By the way, how exactly did you get like that?"
"Well. . ." The Eevee started dragging out the word.
Atsuko sweatdropped and gave her a look. "On second thought, I don't think I want to know. . ."
Dash grinned and beamed at her companion before picking up the decorations again. "Yosh! Time to finish this!"
The Torchic sighed slightly annoyed. "You really don't know when to quit."
However, the last statement went by the evolution Pokémon unheard as she, once again, got herself tangled up. "Wah! Atsuko-Chan! Help me!!!"
Atsuko sighed and grumbled a bit before dragging herself towards the troublesome twelve-year-old Eevee.
---In the Afternoon---
The pair had finally put up the decorations around the base.
"Saa. It's so pretty." Dash sighed happily as her over-sized Santa hat slid down her head.
Atsuko nodded in agreement. "Yeah. But we still could've done it later in the week, ya know?"
The Eevee just grinned before jumping onto the branch of the tree and making her way upwards.
"Eh? Dash-Chan? What are you doing now?" The Torchic questioned giving her a suspicious look.
A strange glint appeared in the Eevee's eyes making Atsuko sweatdrop and back away.
Dash had settled herself near the tip of the branch right near the window.
"Oro? Dash?" Atsuko mumbled cautiously watching as the Eevee took a deep breath. "Wh-!"
"HOI HOI! PARTY AT RESCUE TEAM BLACKFIRE'S BASE! COME ONE, COME ALL! NYA! EVERYONE'S INVITED!"
The Torchic gaped at the Eevee before gulping as the ground rumbled.
Thinking quickly, the chick Pokémon jumped onto the lower branch of the tree as an array of Pokémon came rushing into the base.
"Did someone say 'party'?" A pink cat-like Pokémon exclaimed skidding to a stop as she wagged her tail happily.
Dash grinned and jumped down from her perch. "Koneko-chan!"
"Oro? Dash-Chan 3!" The Skitty chirped happily as she ran about in a circular motion.
The Eevee grinned a bit before turning to the crowd. "Alright! First of all, welcome to the Base of Rescue Team Blackfire! Secondly. . . LET'S GET THE PARTY STARTED!!!"
Cheers of excitement rang through the building as music and lights started up.
Atsuko sweatdropped and sighed as she looked on the party. (How in the world of Pokémon did Dash get all of them in here without breaking the place?!)
"Neh, Atsuko-Chan. What are you doing up here all alone?" A voice said from behind the Pokémon startling her.
"Dash!! Don't sneak up on me!!" The Torchic huffed slightly annoyed before calming down.
The Eevee merely grinned before pulling her friend down to the party floor. "Come on! Join in the fun!"
Atsuko sighed a bit as she allowed herself to be dragged down. (I hope that there won't be too much work to be done afterwards. . .)
The pair stopped at the DJ area where the Skitty, Koneko, had made herself at home with earphones around her neck.
"Nya? Oh! Atsuko-Chan 3! I was wondering where you were!" The Pokémon purred as she mixed the music together like an expert.
"Hey Koneko-san. How'd you like this place?" The Torchic asked politely.
"Nya! You're as polite as usual! Lighten up! It's a par-tey!!!" The Skitty meowed as she turned up the music.
Dash laughed from beside the Torchic before giving a cheesy smile and dragging the sulking Atsuko away. "We're gonna 'par-tey' now!"
The Skitty was heard laughing before it was drowned away as the pair walked deeper towards the center of the crowd.
"Must I be in the center?" Atsuko mumbled poking the Eevee.
"Of course! That's where the center of the party is!" Dash replied laughing at her stupid joke before she bumped into someone. "Oops! Saa, gomen nasai!"
"It's okay! We kind of bumped into you anyways. . ." The grass Pokémon apologized.
"Hey! You're the one who's hosting this party, right?" A fire Pokémon intervened pushing the other one away.
The Chikorita gained an anime vein before tackling the Charmander making him growled back at her.
Dash and Atsuko sweatdropped before pushing the two away. "Come now. No fighting. After all, it's party!"
The Chikorita sighed before giving an apologetic smile. "Sorry 'bout that."
Dash merely grinned as Atsuko smiled politely. "It's alright! By the way, I'm Dash! What's your names?"
"I'm Kasen!" The Charmander exclaimed shaking the Eevee's paw. "I saw all of those demonstrations that you and Atsuko-sempai did at the Makuhita Dojo! You two are my idols!"
Dash laughed a bit before giving Kasen a knuckle sandwich. "Awesome! I'm an idol now!"
"Ack! Hey! Quit the sandwich!" Kasen shouted but the Eevee just laughed and continued.
Atsuko let out a soft chuckle before turning to the Chikorita. "May I ask what your name is?"
"I'm Tenchi!" The grass Pokémon said giving a polite grin as Dash finally let go of the Charmander.
"Well you already know our names so nice to meet you two!" Atsuko chirped happily before the female fire and grass Pokémon engaged in a friendly conversation.
---Ten Minutes Later---
"Hey Kasen." Dash whispered to the Charmander.
"Huh? You have something in mind?" Kasen asked yawning a bit.
The two had been listening to the other two's random conversation.
"I'm bored so let's go the buffet table I set up." The Eevee said with a faint smile.
Kasen nodded in agreement as the pair sneaked away from the oblivious girls.
---Ten More Minutes Later---
"So you and Dash have been together as a rescue team ever since the events started?" Tenchi asked slightly surprised.
The Torchic chuckled a bit. "It is that hard to imagine it?"
"Well, kind of." The Chikorita started. "I mean, three years. That's kind of long. And the fact that you guys were friends for seven years?"
Atsuko gave a soft smile. "Yeah. It is a bit long but it's fun to do these missions with Pokémon you have been friends with."
"Yeah I guess you're right. . ." Tenchi mumbled before she noticed something. "Hey! Kasen's gone!"
The Torchic blinked before looking around. "Dash is gone too!"
The two looked at each other before an exasperated look appeared on their faces. (Oh boy. . .)
---At DJ Station---
"Hey Koneko-san! Have you seen Dash?" Atsuko asked.
The cat Pokémon blinked a bit. "Dash? Hm. . . Nope. Haven't seen her but I think I caught a glimpse of silver heading towards the buffet table."
The Torchic gave a confused look. "She had a buffet table here?"
Koneko nodded making Atsuko sweatdrop and stalk off with Tenchi in tow.
(Wonder why she's so surprised. . .)
---At Buffet Table---
The two female Pokémon squeezed through the crowd before groaning at the sight.
Dash and Kasen were having a contest to see who could eat the most chocolate bars.
The surrounding Pokémon around them were cheering them on.
"GO DASH! SHOW 'EM THAT GIRLS CAN BEAT GUYS IN ANYTHING!" A Sneasel exclaimed from besides a Machop.
The Machop gained an anime vein. "HEY KASEN! BEAT 'ER AND I'LL TREAT YOU OUT TO LUNCH FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK!"
Atsuko and Tenchi both sighed in annoyance as anime veins appeared around them.
Suddenly, a loud groan of disappointment from the male spectators rang out as cheers from the female section seemed deafening.
"FUFUFUFU! NO ONE CAN BEAT ME IN A CHOCOLATE EATING CONTEST!!!" The Eevee exclaimed licking her lips.
The Charmander had swirly eyes as he swayed dizzily before collapsing.
The male spectators, taking pity on the poor ten-year-old Charmander, placed him on one of the random couches laying around.
Atsuko sighed a bit before walking up towards the Eevee. "Come on, Dash. You ate the chocolate now let's-"
The Torchic was cut off as the evolution Pokémon jumped onto the completely cleared buffet table.
"Err. . . Dash?" Atsuko mumbled before sweatdropping a waterfall as everyone at the party began laughing.
The Eevee was dancing around drunkenly while hiccupping thus making Tenchi and Atsuko give her a look.
"Hello-hic-everyone-hic-! Are y'all en-hic-joying the-hic-party?!" Dash said swaying a bit.
More cheers rang through the base as the Eevee grinned. "Y-hic-osh!! Turn it-hic- louder-hic-Koneko-chan!!"
The music blasted through the base again as a spotlight shone on Dash. "Come-hic-on everyone! Join-hic-mme on the-hic-stage!!!"
Atsuko groaned a bit before Tenchi's laughter snapped her out of it. "Don't tell me you're gonna join!"
The Chikorita grinned at her. "Come on Atsuko! Besides, it good to just go crazy every once in a while, right?"
But the Torchic didn't have enough time to respond as Tenchi dragged her on the 'stage'.
---With Dash---
The Eevee was going crazy just dancing (and stumbling) on the stage before grinning when she noticed Atsuko. "Ats-hic-uko! Great! You're here!"
The crowd let out laughs as many of the smaller-sized Pokémon climbed onto 'stage' and began dancing.
The 'drunkness' from the chocolate began wearing off as Dash grabbed Atsuko's short wings the two began dancing clumsily.
"WHOOT! THIS IS AWESOME!" A familiar voice exclaimed making the three stop to see Kasen climbing onto the table.
Tenchi sighed. embarrassed, as the Charmander began to do 'shuffle dance'.
"I shuffle to the right!" Kasen started moving to the right somewhat shakily.
Dash grinned and pulled the other two towards Kasen as they all joined in. "I shuffle to the left!"
The Charmander grinned cheesily at the Eevee as they swung their paws over each others shoulder. "We shuffle to the back."
The two moved back slightly as the Pokémon on stage copied them.
(Ah what the heck. I'll just join in!) Atsuko thought grinning a bit as Dash grabbed her wing.
"We shuffled to the front! And let's do this all about! Come on everyone! Copy what we do!" The pair chorused as the other Pokémon on ground began to copy as well.
"Right foot out!"
Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!
"Now step back!"
Thump! Thump! Thump!
"Twirl around and let's go go go!!!"
Crash!
Several Pokémon crashed into each other but that didn't stop anyone.
"Now time for the Can-Can!" Dash exclaimed as all of the Pokémon on-stage kicked to the right and then to the left.
"Cha cha cha!" Kasen sang before giving the other Pokémon a signal.
Tenchi caught on but Atsuko and Dash still danced on when-
"MEEPIT!"
Everyone had picked up the two and had thrown them into the air before catching them and repeating it.
The pair laughed out of joy before Dash decided to be reckless and jumped into the lower crowd.
Atsuko would've been rolling around laughing if she was on the ground as Dash let out several squeals of happiness.
The Torchic jumped after Dash when the Eevee slipped and skidded towards the decorations. "Ack! Ah! Meep! Ow! Phooey. . ."
Silence for a moment before laughter rang through once more for Dash was. . .
Tangled up. . .
Tied around. . .
With bright lights flashing. . .
A red stocking on her left ear. . .
And a glowing star on her head. . .
All while practically attached to the tree!
After a moment of sulking, the evolution Pokémon joined in the laughter just as snow began to fall outside.
---End Flashback---
"AHAHAHAHAHA!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU WERE STUCK LIKE THAT TWICE!!!" Kyuubi laughed while rolling around on the floor.
Shun and Atsuko were both snickering as Dash sweatdropped.
"Oi! It's not my fault that I was clumsy!" The Eevee countered as anime tears flowed.
By now, all three were laughing as Dash twitched a bit before an idea crossed her mind and she went to the top of the tree.
"Oro? Where'd she go?" Shun questioned after he calmed down.
Atsuko sweatdropped. "Somehow. . . I don't have a good feeling. . ."
Kyuubi was still laughing when a silver blur ran towards and around her several times.
The other two stared and blinked. . .
Once. . .
Twice. . .
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
The Vulpix twitched annoyed as Dash grinned and sat there admiring her 'masterpiece' attached to a tree. . .
With shining Christmas lights. . .
A glowing star on her head. . .
A red stocking on her head. . .
And tangled up in a strange way.
"DASH NO BAKA!!!" Kyuubi shouted annoyed.
"Hate to tie and run but I gotta go and hide now!" The Eevee exclaimed before running away as the Vulpix burned through the lights and chased after her.
During all that time, the other two were still rolling on the floor laughing.
Meanwhile. . .
Outside. . .
In the dark, cool night. . .
The first snow of that winter began to fall. . .
Just as the faint outline of a majestic Pokémon. . .
Was seen flying over the base and near space. . .
With a peaceful look on her face and in her crimson eyes. . .
Leaving sparkles of pure white snow drifting softly towards the world below. . .
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!! nn
