*Pokemon is owned by Nintendo
Well, here's part 2! Enjoy! I'm super sorry about the date changes. I guess Friday wasn't final. :/ I've had stuff going on. :)
Christmas 2012 Part 2
Scraggy
My Uncle Oshawott disappeared! He left us at the cliff! I knew he didn't like us deep down inside him. That big, fat mea- wait, um... small, average sized otter... Well! He certainly likes flowers more than us!* I waddled over to the flowers and ripped them out of the ground angrily.
"Scraggy! What do you think you're doing? Stop that! Why did you do that?" Pikachu shouted at me.
"Duh! Uncle Oshawott doesn't actually like us! He thinks that he's so clumsy and we've been making fun of him! He'd rather be buddies with these snow flowers!" I headbutted the flowers into the dirt.
"Scraggy, he wouldn't think that! There must be a different reason why he would go and pick flowers. Seriously, he wouldn't leave us just to be a friend to flowers."
"I guess you're right. Maybe he knew he wasn't good enough for us then picked flowers to make him feel better as he left us." Pikachu sighed.
"Even that doesn't sound right. He never seemed to feel that way. Besides, he wouldn't just leave us at the bottom of the cliff."
"Then... why?"
"Oshawooooott! Oshawooooott!" Pignite yelled. "Oh, where could he be?"
"There are some bigger footprints here. They look like...a Krookodile's?" Pikachu stood still for a bit. He faced the older Pokemon.
"Maybe the Krookodile attacked Oshawott! Oh no, we have to save him!" Leavanny cried.
"I don't see any sign of struggle. The two sets of prints just join here, then the Krookodile's prints lead back thataway." Pikachu pointed to a giant cave.
"What if the Krookodile captured Oshawott?" I suggested in a panicky voice.
"Maybe this time you're right, Scraggy." Suddenly we heard a familiar voice out of no where.
"Oh, hey, guys. I didn't know you'd be here. You better get behind that tree over there before the Krookodile finds you trespassing in his territory."
"Uncle Oshawott! You're ok! We thought a giant Krookodile came, grabbed you, brought you to his cave, chopped you up, cooked you, then ate you up!"
"Um, really? You all thought that?"
"The first three, yes, but the rest Scraggy made up just now," Pikachu replied.
"Sorry for worrying you. Let's go back to the camp." Everyone nodded and followed Pikachu's lead.
Yay! Our clumsy Uncle Oshawott is back! Tee hee hee!
Snivy
As we walked on, I began to realize that Oshawott had been keeping behind me the whole time. He seemed to walk a bit slower than usual, but he showed no sign of exhaustion.
Finally, we approached some familiar mounds of snow.
"OUR SNOWFORTS! We're FINALLY home! Um, I mean... camp?" Scraggy burst out. He ran behind the strange looking mound next to the crooked tree where Palpitoad was sleeping.
"Well, we're at the snowforts... but I don't see the camp! It's not here or anywhere! The trainers left without us!" Pikachu exclaimed in grief.
"C'mon, let's try to find something that will lead us to them. We can try by looking for footprints," I suggested. We walk off in seperate directions, Scraggy going with Pikachu. Since I can keep myself safe on my own, I volunteered to search places farther away from the others.
Broken twigs, a pile of black and white logs that looked charred, and footprints of Pidove are the only interesting things I find. I walk toward the charred logs since the group might've dumped them there from a campfire. As I bent down to take a closer look, I heard some rustling in the bushes behind me. It was very brief, but I kept my... ears? Ready if I heard it again. I follow a set of prints that stop here then move away.
I hear the same sound but very faintly. This time I turn around, but I don't see anything. Once again, I go back to my business.
This time when I heard a noise, it was only a soft quiet padding sound. I turn around and shouted at the Pokemon behind me,
"HEY, STOP STALKING M- oh, Oshawott. Do you have a question? I know I do."
"Oh, heh heh. Actually, I do... but you may go first..."
"Why were you following me? You're supposed to be on the other side. Besides, why were you following me quietly? Are you stalking me?"
"Um, I thought you said you needed to ask A question."
"Just answer."
"Ok. Well, I actually wanted to... give you something..." Oshawott pulled something from behind his tail.
I looked at the blue snow flowers he handed to me. There were three flowers, each having four petals. They were bound together in the middle of the stems by a leaf.
"Um... it's a... Christmas present. If you can, please try to keep it hidden from the others." Oshawott looked away shyly. I noticed a little blush from him. I was very surprised that he would give these specifically to me. I would think they would be for Emolga or someone.
"Why, thank you, Oshawott. A merry Christmas to you, too. I guess you can help me around here, then." I turned around and continued following the paw prints, hiding the flower bundle behind my yellow collar.
We followed the prints to a sand path, then they disappeared.
"What Pokemon do you think owns these footprints?" Oshawott asked me.
"If we look closely, you can see that they're small and ovaled, no toes or claws. If you smell them, they smell like berries and human food."
"Who would be wierd enough to go to a pile of burned wood?"
"Someone like... Pansage!"
"What does Pansage have to do with these footprints?"
Really, Oshawott? I just told you.
"Pansage has no toes or claws, works around food, and has arms and paws to carry the burned wood to the pile."
"Oooooh... so... what are we going to do with them?"
"We're going to get the others. Since Pansage travels with our main group, that means we can somehow trace him back to Ash."
"Good, 'cause I'm starving! I could really use an apple pie," Oshawott said, making a couple rounds with his tongue on his lips.
"Good. Hurry up and get them. I'll look around here some more."
"Got it!" He ran off with surprising speed and without a bit of clumsiness.
Ok, either he's excited for pie or he feels extra happy to give me flowers. Anyways, I'd better get going. Sniffing the ground carefully, I sniffed the sand road. I made a small trail with my vine, accidentally knocking out the bundle of flowers. Unfortunately, the others saw me reaching down to grab them.
"Oh, need help with the flowers? I'll hold them. They're for Unfezant, right? It's really too bad for her to have a fever on- oh! I can't believe I forgot that today is Christmas! Boy, how could I have forgotten?" Leavanny picked up the flowers excitedly. I noticed Oshawott give me a panicked look.
"So, what did you find, Snivy? All I found was this piece of paper. It's quite oddly shaped, so I thought it would be important."
"An envelope? Great find, Pignite! I wonder what it says." Pikachu snatched the envelope then began making a ripping noise under a triangular flap. "Here's what it says:
To My Dear Pokemon,
We tried to find you, but we couldn't go searching in the blizzard. We will be staying at a cabin until we find you. Just follow the sandy path, and you'll see the cabin eventually. We all hope you stay safe. I knew Pikachu would lead you all back to the camp.
Your Trainer, Ash
"Hurry, we have to get to that cabin!" Pignite exclaimed like a Pokemon trainer in a battle. We all follow the path. After a little while of running, we spotted a wooden building and a light emitting from in between each log.
Leavanny
I clutched the flowers tightly as Pikachu knocked on the door. I heard a thump, quick padding, another thump but louder, a short pause, then more padding, but in a different rythem than the others. The door quickly opened in front of us. We were expecting one of the other Pokemon or a trainer at the door, but it was, instead, the Primeape we ran into at the beginning.
"Whoa, it's that Primeache we saw before! Run!" Oshawott screamed.
"Primeache? I'm a Primeape. Please don't leave! I'm really sorry for running you off that cliff. I just got extremely angry when one of you threw a snowball at me. You know how Primeapes can hardly hold their anger in. It's just my nature to do that. You all understand, don't you?"
"Yes, of course." He was the only one that understood. The rest of us just looked at each other confused.
"Yeah... well, your friends are waiting for you. They set up something special while you were gone." He directed us inside where we could smell some delicious pastries and soups.
"APPLE PIIIIIIE!" Oshawott yelled in a desperate manner. He rushed inside and tripped over Primeape's foot. "I want pie!" Oshawott still got up and rushed to the table.
"Oshawott! Hey, you found your way back! We were very worried about all of you!" Iris shouted in joy.
"Yeah. Ash had been out searching for you until the blizzard kicked in. He's quite quite exhausted, so he's still asleep. Hey, whoa, Oshawott! That pie's for breakfast! Get off the table!" Pansage picked up the hungry otter with ease and dropped him off the table.
WHAM! Oshawott landed on his rear. Everyone had a fit of laughter.
"Hey, we brought some snow flowers for Unfezant! We knew she'd need them," I randomly burst out. I walked over to Ash and Unfezant. Ash was snoring loudly and Unfezant had a wet towel on her head. Ash suddenly began to move. He stretched and yawned, then he rubbed his eyes.
"WHOA! Leavanny! When'd you get back? Oh, I was so worried about you guys! Unfezant, your friends are back." Ash began shaking Unfezant. She raised her head and blinked.
"Here, Unfezant. These are for you. Merry Christmas." I handed her the flowers, thinking about how marvelous it would be to have a wonderful Christmas night by watching the falling snow under a warm, fuzzy blanket with Unfezant, her shiny wings reflecting the glow of the moon...
"Oh, why thank you, Leavanny," she croaked. Although, you can remove your arm from my neck. You could catch something if you get too close." She pushed me away with her beak.
"That's really sweet of you, Leavanny. You're so thoughtful. If you keep it up, you may have a chance that she'll like you back," Ash whispered to me. He chuckled a bit. I nudged him playfully.
"Well, everyone, today is Christmas day! It's time to celebrate!" Cilan called out. Iris and Cilan sent out all their Pokemon. Ash did the same with his.
Pikachu
Everyone gathered around the table for breakfast. Cilan gave everyone a slice of pie. I noticed Leavanny sitting with Unfezant and Oshawott sit next to Snivy. It made my chuckle seeing Oshawott ask if he could next to her for Christmas. It wasn't only that; Snivy had nudged him and muttered something to him. I noticed Oshawott blush and begin poking at his pie.
He sure isn't good at keeping the secret between them. The strange thing is that I'm the only one to realize it. Heh!
After everyone had an hour to relax and mingle, Ash had announced the gift opening. Once again, I see Oshawott and Snivy together. Leavanny was taking vare of Unfezant. Scraggy and I gave a pokeball to each trainer. Axew got Iris a new hairpin. Emolga only received gifts which were baskets of fruit. Pignite got all the Pokemon a special handmade friend charm that broke into pieces, one for each, to store in their pokeballs. Excadrill gave Iris and Axew great big hugs. All of Cilan's Pokemon had gotten Cilan supplies of fresh spices and herbs. Iris and Ash gave Cilan some new dishes, silverware, and a book about gourmet food for travelers. Krokorok got every Pokemon a pair of sunglasses. Oshawott gave nothing except a hug to Ash... and a lot of service to Snivy if she needed anything. Heh! I guess everyone is starting to suspect something now! Snivy and I made a fabulous performance like what would be shown in a Pokemon Contest. Cilan, of course, had given us all lovely meals throughout the day. Palpitoad taught the Pokemon a new game to play. Primeape gave us the cabin to stay in. He had constructed it with some forest friends for any passersby that needed a place. How convenient!
After dinner, everyone settled in for the night. I had slept for a while... until I was awoken by a little thud. I looked around and realized Snivy and Oshawott. Apparently Oshawott tripped on something again. No other Pokemon was awake or stirring. I watched closely to the two wandering Pokemon. Oshawott got up with the help of Snivy. He led her to the window next to Leavanny and Unfezant. I heard him begin to say something.
"Uh, Snivy?"
"Yeah?"
"May I tell you something?"
"Sure. I'd really love to know so I can go to bed again."
"Right. Well, Snivy, I-I..." Snivy chuckled.
"I think I know what you're about to say."
"I really think..."
"Yes?" Snivy placed a hand on his shoulder. I noticed a little blush from him.
"I really like-" Oshawott hesistated a long time. I shifted a little, excited for what he's about to say.
"Like what?" Snivy grinned.
"Ok, here I go." Oshawott took a gigantic breath. "I really l-love... "
I held my breath and opened my mouth in anxiety.
"YOUR BATTLING TECHNIQUES! You must show me how you can keep up with that energy. I'm always so clumsy and I... want you to be my mentor..." I seriously think I exploded.
"WHAT?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" I screamed on accident. Realizing what I just did, I made an excuse on the spot. "O-oh, s-sorry... I was j-just... in a... dream?" Surprisingly, only Snivy and Oshawott looked at me.
"Ok. Goodnight, Pikachu," Snivy simply replied. I lie back down and pretend to fall asleep again. Then she turned back to Oshawott. "Of course. I'd certainly do it. You're a wonderful friend, even if you're so clumsy and wierd."
"Thank you so much, Snivy."
"You're welcome. Merry Christmas, Oshawott. Get some sleep."
"Thanks, Merry Christmas to you, too. Make sure you sleep, too." The two Pokemon lie down next to Ash and fall asleep peacefully.
TROOOOLLOLLOLLOOOOLL!
