"Keep those who are special to you near you at all times, but keep all memories within your heart," - ChaosLuu quote of the day(pm me your life quote if you have something that can help those in life)
Snowflakes, lights, decorations, and the ice type pokemons are becoming abundant as the holidays are coming. As we are seeing the Alola Region in Ula'Ula Island, at the base of Mount Lanakila, a mansion built into the mountain itself as it doesn't affect/change the sacred grounds of the mountain, but is the home to no other than the Champion of Alola. In the home, we see a family of four along with several other pokemon helping with the decorations as they are preparing for Christmas. The family, a guy with z marks on his cheeks and a red cap with a green logo on it, a female whose hair seemingly is the same color as the blue light sky outside of the house as her hair is flowing smoothly straight on her back with a mistletoe leaf and three small pokeballs on it pin to the side of her hair as she is sitting on the couch braiding a young girl's black hair into a twin-tail as she is waiting impatiently for her to finish. Then there is a small boy who has dark blue hair as his hair is like the older man's messy hair that is kept hidden under his cap as the boy helped the older man put up the Christmas tree with the rest of the pokemon.
"There, that should do it, good job Brandon," Ash smiled at the child as the boy, Brandon, smiled brightly at the compliment before his face became shocked.
"Wait! We forgot the presents!" Brandon exclaimed worriedly as Ash chuckled before ruffling Brandon's hair.
"Don't worry little guy, we will put the presents under the tree, we just have to wait for the others to come," Ash explained as Brandon pouted.
"Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine," he whined jokingly before walking off to another direction where the pokemon are trying to hang the wreaths up but are struggling.
Ash shook his head with a smile as he turn around to the two girls, to see the younger one struggling as the older woman sigh.
"Amy, can you please stay still for a little more," The woman said as the girl groan.
"Mooom, why do I have to do my hair, you never do your hair," Amy whined as the woman finally gave up as she undid the work she did and with that done, the little girl got up and ran to her older sibling to help him and the pokemon.
The woman sigh with exhaustion as Ash came near and sat next to her while putting an arm around her waist which she laid her head on his shoulder as the two smiled at the scene when Pikachu accidentally tripped over Popplio's tail and sent a bunch of confetti all over the group as they laughed.
"You should let Amy be herself you know Nicole," Ash said softly as Nicole gave a sad smile.
"I know, but I just wish she can be less like her dad and more like her mother," Nicole said with a playful glare at Ash as he chuckled before bringing her in for a kiss.
"Well, genetics can't be helped, can it," Ash remarked as Nicole rolled her eyes but then something came in the air as Ash smelled it
"Weren't you supposed to be cooking?" Nicole suddenly jumped up and ran into the kitchen as everyone in the living room heard crashes and pans falling as they all sweatdropped.
Just as they all listen to it, the doorbell suddenly rung which made the kids and pokemon jump but Ash just stood up and walked to the door ignoring the background noises as he opened it.
"Hello!"
"Merry Christmas!"
Two girls the same age as Ash stood at the doorway with one holding bags while the other is holding present boxes as Ash greeted them in.
"Nice seeing you two come Alexa, Serena," Ash smiled as they entered. Just as he was about to close the door, Serena stopped him as she gestured to the side of the door. Ash looked out of the door into the snowy wonderland as he saw the two little kids, a brother and sister obviously from the scene, being dragged by a sylveon as they pouted and complained about not being able to play in the snow. As they pass through the door, Ash can only look at the two weirdly as he closed the door.
"Hi Serge, hi Ally," Ash waved at the two as Sylveon let go of the two with her ribbons as she joined Pikachu and the others. The two kids stood up quickly as they greeted Ash with enthusiasm.
"Hi Uncle Ash, where is Brandon and Amy?" The two said simultaneously as Ash giggled.
"They are over there, maybe you can help them out," Ash gestured to the kids as the two seem to be arguing about where to place the stockings. The two siblings nodded with eagerness as they ran over to Brandon and Amy shocking the two as they collided with one another.
Just as Ash stood up, a portal opened out of nowhere near him as he yelped when a huge box fell on him as Tessa jumped out of the Portal in a red santa theme dress with a bag over her shoulder as a cosmog also followed behind as it cried out happily for no reason.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE, SANTA TESSA IS HERE!" Tessa yelled as the kids stopped play wrestling with one another as they all got up and ran over to Tessa excitedly.
"AUNTIE TESSA!"
"Oh my Arceus, that present is huge!"
"Wow, that is something,"
"Is that for us?"
Tessa smiled as she greeted the kids before looking around only to give a confused look as she turn to the kids.
"Say, have you little ones seen Ash?" Tessa asked before Serena and Alexa came into the room and once they noticed Tessa, they walked over to greet her only to suddenly recoil with shock.
"Hi Serena, hi Alexa, where is Ash?" Serena and Alexa turn to one another before they pointed to the base of the massive present which Tessa turned to and noticed a groaning Ash crawling out from under the present as Tessa sweatdrop.
"Oops...sorry Ash," Tessa apologized as Ash finally freed himself as he chuckled nervously.
"Man Tessa, where did you even get this present?" Ash asked as he rub his back painfully.
"Well, you have to thank the person who helped me when he gets here, apparently he said that he was going to get the presents but he is taking a bit longer I think," Tessa said pondering just as another portal opened with Zack falling into the room with a bunch of small present boxes falling in after him as the portal closed.
"Ugh...I hate christmas shopping," Zack groan as he stood up as he sent out his pokemon which they joined the others minus the big guys who went out to the backyard due to their size along with the other big pokemon like Rayquaza. Zack then walk over to the group as Ash greeted him with a fist bump.
"Glad to have you here Zack, how is the Battle Frontier and your girlfriend?" Ash asked his friend as Zack sheepily scratch his head.
"Good I guess, the last trainer that beated me was this kid that went by the name of Diamond, as for my girlfriend, she is doing well, but I feel she is trying to get me to marry her on the spot," Zack said with a sigh as Ash patted his back.
"Well, I guess that is something you'll have to worry about now, unlike the other two people that seem to be late," Ash said as he seem to be referring to two certain people just as a portal opened with a blonde walking into the living room as she is wearing a lab coat and her ponytail hung down to her back as an alolan vulpix sat on her shoulder as she held several presents in her as the portal closed behind her.
"Sorry I'm late, apparently the nearest department store is about ten miles away, I tried to hurry but I'm not sure about Kuroda," Lillie said as she walk over to the Christmas tree and place the presents down next to the other presents.
As she does this, Tessa snuck up and tackled her half-sister to the ground as Lillie yelped in surprise as Tessa exclaimed.
"HI LILLIE, LONG TIME NO SEE SIS, WHERE IS THE BABY!?" At this Lillie's expression was untellable due to being squashed by Tessa.
"Tessa, I can't," Lillie stuttered as another portal opened as Kuroda stepped out of it with a baby that is in one of those baby holders that is strapped onto Gabite as the land shark pokemon is technically a parenting pokemon due to her nature. As he stepped out of the portal, following behind him was a wagon with presents as the portal shut closed as well.
"Sorry about being late...the baby pooped again," Kuroda sigh as Zack snickered at the doorway which made Kuroda glared at him.
"Not something to laugh about Zack," Kuroda hissed which only made Zack chuckle as Kuroda got help from Lillie and Tessa to put the presents under the tree.
Just as Kuroda stood up something plastic hit him on the back of his hood as he quickly turn around to see Zack in time to turn away.
"You need something?" Kuroda asked knowing what Zack wanted as everyone in the household groan except for the kids and some of the pokemon as Zack smirk in response.
"You know it, battle, you and me, see whether the Battle Frontier is better than the Time Guardian," Zack smirk as Kuroda shrugged.
"Fine, I think my team actually wants some actions after being cooped up anyway," Kuroda and Zack walked out to the backyard where the battlefield is as the kids ran following them minus the baby who is with Lillie as Gabite handed her over to the mother before joining Kuroda.
"Uncle Zack and Kuroda are battling!"
"I bet you Zack is going to crush him with his team, he got Gardevoir!"
"No, Kuroda will, he has Charmeleon!"
Kuroda and Zack turn from the kids to each other as they smiled knowing how far they came since back then.
"Should we use our old team or you rather have this battle be with the pokemon we caught up until now?" Zack asked as Kuroda took out an ultra ball from his belt.
"I say we use our champion team," with the said, Kuroda sent out a weird looking bee-like purple pokemon as it hover in front of him with its purple robotic like eyes.
"NYYAAA!" Naganadel cried out as Zack smirk as he sent out his pokemon.
Out from the pokeball appeared a large red and black cat that stood on two legs as it showed off its muscles before going into an attack stance.
"RRRWWAAHHH!" Incineroar taunted Naganadel as the purple ultra-beast stood there unfazed.
Ash walked out and as he was about to enter the referee box Brandon ran up to Ash as he looked at his father with a pleasing look as Ash smiled.
"Okay, I understand," Brandon gleemed with happiness as he ran into the box and held up a hand.
"Okay, this is a six on six pokemon battle between uncle Zack and uncle Kuroda, winner will be decided when all six pokemon on one side faints, Battle Begin!" Brandon yelled as he swung his hand done signalling the start.
Zack started it off as he activated the z-ring feature on the primal device on his wrist as he place a firium z-crystal into it as he did the dance quickly activated the z-move.
"Inferno Drive!" Zack cried out as Incineroar engulfed itself into a blazing meteor as he ran at Naganadel with blinding speed but Kuroda immediately took action as he needed Naganadel to move.
"Extreme speed to dodge!" Kuroda commanded.
Just as Incineroar almost hit Naganadel, the ultra-beast disappeared as Incineroar missed completely and crash into the ground as the z-move was done as he looked around for the pest.
"Incineroar, use heat wave around you to draw out the bug!" Zack yelled.
"Naganadel, use sludge wave to counter that!" Kuroda smiled as Zack realized that was a mistake.
As Incineroar slam his fist to the ground sending out heat around him, above his head Naganadel shot a spray of poisonous liquid onto the field around Incineroar which caused a chain reaction as the field exploded. As the explosion ceded, both pokemons were hurt due to the blast but were still up and ready. As both pokemon and trainers were about to make their move, a voice interrupted them mid sentence.
"Guys, help us out at the dining table!" Nicole yelled from the house as the entire battlefield was quiet minus some of the baby pokemon playing with each other. Ash then nodded as he called the kids in while also looking at Zack and Kuroda.
"We might as well do this another time, besides, it is Christmas, take a break from battling for once you know," The two teens nodded in agreement with a slight chuckle as the three headed in the with kids and some of the pokemon that are able to fit in the house.
After a while of setting up and several one-sided arguments, the house was finally finished decorated as they all gathered around the living with the kids and smaller pokemon happily playing a game with one another as for the parents sitting on the couches talking.
"Well, been a good well five months, hasn't it," Nicole said to the group as they all laughed and agreed with her. Ash and Nicole sat with one another on one couch as Alexa and Serena on another, Zack is laying on a beanbag while Lillie is on a single seat couch with the baby in her arms while Kuroda is behind the couch with his arms rest on it while leaning a bit forward.
"I guess we all are where we wanted after all the shit we been through," Ash said with a smirk which Zack picked up.
"Ash is a regional Champion, Nicole is I guess on of the elite four for dragon typing if I'm correct,' Nicole nodded at this as Zack continued, 'Lillie is the international professor which is shocking," at this point Lillie glared at Zack who sweatdropped.
"Well, you forgot that Serena is now Kalo's princess," Tessa started but Ash cut in.
"Wait, Kalos princess?" Serena nodded at this as she explained that the performer system changed with Aria being the queen still while she is the princess due to being able to compete and be on par with the queen.
"Huh, continue,"
"Alexa apparently is the new champion of Kalos!" Tessa exclaimed as Alexa smirk due to the shocked faces on the others.
"When did you became the champion?!" Zack exclaimed as Alexa giggled.
"Took me a while but apparently there was a league tournament two month prior,"
"Yeah, I heard, just wasn't able to watch due to a challenger coming in," Ash said as Alexa continued.
"I won the tournament allowing me to go and challenge the elite four, beaten them and then took Diantha down, resulting in me being champion," Alexa giggled at this as the group was impressed by how strong she gotten with just using Espeon to now being a regional champion.
"Anway, Zack, Heard you became the battle frontier's new Mastermind, am I right?" Ash asked as Zack smirked at this as he nodded.
"Yeah, beating it was hard but definitely worthwhile, bet I am better than you and Kuroda combined," Zack smirked.
"Don't bet on it, the alolan league is still new, but even at the Inter-regional championship, the top spots were taken by most of the Alolan trainer, along with Ash putting up as first leading the region," Kuroda spoke as Zack glared at him.
"Oh, and where were you when all of this happened?" Zack asked as Kuroda snorted.
"I've been looking into a region, apparently that region is said to hold the most powerful of trainers not just regular, but also aura users and psychic users as well, along with that, it is said that no one is yet to be the official champion of the region due to the champion spot always changing each week," Kuroda said as Ash and Zack looked at him with awe.
"What makes you think you can beat them, you barely held up against Ash and also that you and I are equal in strength, if this region is as powerful as you said, then I am pretty sure you're screwed over," Zack said as Kuroda shrugged.
"Well, we all have to land somewhere in our lives, can't just be on the move all the time," while the boys are talking about the new region and battles, the girls are in their own conversation as well.
"How is it being one of the elite fours in Alola next to your husband Nicole?" Serena asked.
"Well, I can say it is nice, but due to the amount of trainers coming in, not much of a break or bonding time with the children," Nicole sigh as she look over to see Amy and Brandon arguing over Pikachu who was very uncomfortable in the situation.
"Well, from what I can tell, the kids will be great trainers after their parents," Tessa giggled as Nicole turn back with a small smile.
"Yes, I can see Brandon's eyes whenever Ash battles or even Zack and Kuroda, but I wish he be a bit more patient at times," Nicole sigh.
"You really can't control genetics Nicole, though at least Brandon has some qualities of you along with some of his own," Alexa said.
"Tell that to the bottomless stomach I have to feed each day, surprised we aren't in debt," Nicole sweatdropped as the girls giggled.
"So, anyway, Kalos Princess, you planning on seizing the title Kalos Queen?" Nicole asked Serena who shook her head.
"No, I am planning on taking a break from performing and actually heading over to Hoenn with Alexa to try out contests, heard they are a bit more difficult than performing but I can't believe it until I see it," Serena said as the girls minus Alexa nodded in understanding.
"How about you Alexa, any reason you are going to Hoenn as well?" Alexa smirk as she took out a key stone from her skirt pocket and held it up.
"Steven Stone asked me to aid him in his studies on mega evolution due to finding something intriguing in a ruins, though he feels as if something bad is happening and needs any help he can get, so I volunteered," Alexa explained as she placed the key stone back into her pocket.
"So I guess that means you are hoping to get stronger by this experience?" Tessa asked as Alexa nodded.
"You could say that, how about you Tessie?" Alexa asked as the younger girl groaned to the pet name.
"First of all, don't call me Tessie, and second, I have been getting weird vibes in the Ultra world with Nebby, me and the ultra recon squad are looking into it but time will tell when it will be revealed," Tessa said as she look out to the backyard to see nebby looking at her in the same expression.
"Well, for now, you should relax, it is the holiday and this is a time to rejoice with your friends and families," Lillie placed one hand on Tessa's shoulder while the other was holding the baby as Tessa smiled a little.
"Your right on that, also, you never really told us your girl's name," Tessa pointed out as Lillie mentally slapped herself for forgetting.
"Sorry, all the commotion and the festivities kind of made me forgot, but I like you all to meet Runes," Lillie said as she gently handed her over to Tessa who looked at the young girl with a small smile.
"You know, this reminds me of our younger years before all the shit happened," Tessa said as she gently rock-a-bye Runes in her arm.
"You are kind of right, but pretty sure if none of that "shit" happened, we wouldn't be here," Lillie responded.
"Time and fate are two different things, one we can control and the other is up to mother nature," Nicole said as she stood up to go to the kitchen.
"Well for one thing, no matter how long time pass or if fate screws one of us up, we keep the good memories and spirits in our hearts," Serena smiled at Alexa's response along with the other girls before they decided it was time.
"Hey guys, mind helping us bring out the food, and also get the kids, it is time to eat!" Nicole called out to the living room as everyone responded back and just like that, Christmas in the Alolan Champion household is started.
Moment Later(including parts which are presents opening and such)
"Well, this has been a fun time even though it is short," Zack said as Ash and Kuroda are in the backyard looking up at the night sky filled with stars.
"We will see each other again, just later on though…" Kuroda said.
"You guys want to have a final battle now, I mean, everything is done, the kids are kinda getting tired and the house is cleaned up a bit, we got time to kill," Ash suggested as the three guys nodded as they sent out their respective pokemon.
"Gardevoir, show them you power!"
"Charmeleon, stand by!"
"Pikachu, let's do this!"
The three trainers look at each other as they smiled at one another before they yelled out to their pokemon as the battle has begun in the snowy terrain.
"Gardevoir, use shadow ball!"
"Chameleon, metal claw!"
"Pikachu, electro ball quick fire!"
The peaceful sounds of the winter wonderland is now filled as pokemon clash with one another but it is filled with the joyfulness and friendship that these trainer have in battle.
Afterwards
"Guess this is goodbye," Kuroda said as the group are in the living room.
"Well, there is always the new years and also thanksgiving," Tessa said as the group nodded to one another.
"Just be sure to not do anything stupid okay guys," Nicole said as Zack and Kuroda look at each other nervously but nodded in agreement.
"Well, then I better go get Brandon and Amy in bed now, merry christmas guys," Ash said as he walked to the stairs and disappearing in the upstair corridor.
"We better go too, our plane schedule is actually about to be called in four hours and it is a two hour drive to the airport from here," Alexa said as Serena called for Surge and Ally who came over as the four waved bye and got into a taxi before driving off. At this, Zack's primal device rung as he tap on a button with the screen showing a call with the user.
"I have to go, my girlfriend is calling me so I better head over right now," Zack said as he opened a portal and walked into it with the portal disappearing behind him. Lillie gave Nicole one more hug before she waved goodbye with Kuroda as he opened another portal with the two disappearing into it with the portal closing.
"I hope to see the kids grow by the time I am back Nicole, Merry Christmas!" Tessa exclaimed as she jumped onto Nebby/Lunala who opened an Ultra Wormhole as the two enter into it with the wormhole closing as they pass through it.
Nicole smiled as she looked at the winter scenery for a quick moment before closing the door and heading into the bedroom where Ash is looking at a picture that hung on the wall.
"Still looking at that photo dear?" Nicole asked as she wrap her arms around him as he chuckled a little as the two shared a quick kiss.
"You can say that, this photo sure reminds me of when everything was peaceful...even though the timeline is a bit alternated," Ash said as Nicole unwrapped herself and the two decided to turn in for the night as they changed into their nightwear and got into the bed as they soon fell asleep in each other's arms.
As they slept, a light seep into the room lighting up the photo that Ash and nicole were looking at for a moment. The photo showed the group as they were in their teen years with their starter pokemons with them as they all looked at the camera with smiles in a peaceful meadow.
