In Eloise's room in the hotel, she came to check the presents to see if anything came from overseas yet, but she did find a present from Leon which made her smile as she began to open it.

"Eloise, what are you doing?" Ditto asked.

"Just checking to see if Leon's present was handled carefully through postage~" Eloise replied innocently.

"Uh-huh." Ditto smirked.

Eloise smirked back, she first saw a photograph which was of Leon and his father smiling together as they were with a purple rodent. "Is that a giant rat?" she then asked.

Akito took the picture and gave it back. "Rattatat."

"A Pokemon?" Eloise asked.

"Yeah." Akito nodded.

Eloise looked at the back of the photograph with a note for Eloise.

"'Dear Eloise,

how are you and Nanny? My father and I are doing well back home in Kushin, but I miss you very much, you really showed me a grand time at the ball. As you can see, I have my very own Pokemon, his name is Chichi, he's a Rattatat, I named him Chichi because my mother used to call me that when I was little. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Yours truly, Prince Kentaro AKA Leon'."

"That was nice of him to include a message." Akito said.

Eloise opened the present to see toy spy gear based on how they snuck around the hotel during the time of the Ball.

"Ooh." Ditto smiled.

"Get ready, guys," Eloise told the others. "We're supposed to meet everyone down in the Grand Ballroom."

"I'm almost done, Eloise." Vincent replied as he painted out some ideas that she had to show everyone else.

"What is your idea anyway?" Akito asked.

"You'll just have to wait and see..." Eloise said before tapping her foot as Vincent took a while.

"Almost..." Vincent continued.

Eloise firmly folded her arms and sat on her head while staring at her alarm clock.

After a while, it was finished.

"Are you done yet?" Ditto complained.

"Finished!" Vincent smiled.

"Finally." Eloise said and then rolled up the paper so it would be easier to carry to the ballroom.

"Ah, no, don't do that, it's a masterpiece!" Vincent cried out, but Eloise ignored him.

They soon rushed to the ballroom.

Eloise stood on top of the piano and showed Vincent's painting to them as Skipperdee rolled out with it. "Ta-da!"

"Mind explaining?" Estelle asked.

"I still don't get it." Margarita added.

"Don't you see? We're going to put on a show of our own!" Eloise beamed.

"Ooh." Estelle smiled.

"A Holiday Extravaganza!" Tyler beamed as he carried Buizel.

"And we can tell Edwin all about it when it's over." Bobby smirked.

"Oh, totally." Vincent smirked back.

"It's going to be the biggest, bestest, Christmas show-" Eloise began.

"Holiday Show." Bruce corrected since not everyone celebrated Christmas.

"Sorry..." Eloise muttered to him. "The biggest, bestest, 'Holiday' show ever, and we're going to have it right here in the Grand Ballroom!"

"Yeah!" The Fudo siblings smiled.

"We'll fill the floor with water and freeze it for ice dancing!" Estelle said as she balanced one leg like a ballerina.

"With an interstellar light show?" Tyler asked.

"With high fire acts with derringdo and death defying acts!" Akito added as he lifted the piano with one hand like a circus strongman.

"Yeah." Vincent smiled.

"There'll even be jugglers, and lion tamers, magicians pulling rabbits out of hats, and sword swallowers swallowing swords!"

"What does this have to do with holidays?" Yuko whispered to Esperon.

Espeon shrugged, not knowing what that had to do with the holidays.

"And the biggest and most special surprise of all will be the arrival of Papa Noel himself!" Felicity announced. "To bring peace on Earth, and goodwill towards man, and-"

"And?" Margarita smiled.

"And of course, lots of toys!" Eloise soon concluded.

"Oh, yeah." Felicity smiled.

"I've got a question," A voice spoke up until everyone looked to see that it was Bill. "Where're you gonna get the lion?"

"Use your imagination." Estelle said.

"Yeah, Bill!" Teddy agreed.

"You've got me there, the holidays are all about imagination," Bill smiled as he sat on the piano bench and uncovered the keyboard. "Our hopes about the New Year and for each other."

"That's right." Vincent said.

"Magic too!" Bobby beamed.

"Yes, Bobby, it is the most magical time of the year," Bill smiled in agreement as he remembered last Christmas when he met Rachel Peabody again. "I don't think we need to turn the Grand Ballroom into an ice rink."

"Bill's right." Akito said.

"I am?" Bill smiled.

"Of course you are, Bill." Eloise smiled back as she held Skipperdee before putting her arm around him.

"We'll do something else." Akito said.

"Like what?" Tyler asked.

"Well, everyone likes a good story around the holidays," Bill suggested.

"What about... Oh! The Night Before Christmas?" Margarita beamed. "That's my favorite!"

"Yeah!" Estelle smiled.

"That's a great idea." Bill agreed.

"With the arrival of Santa of course!" Eloise beamed.

"With Santa of course... And maybe a song or two," Bill smiled. "I mean, everyone loves a holiday song..." he then began to play Jingle Bells.

'Oh, I love this one.' Estelle thought to herself.

"Dashing through the snow, In a one-horse open sleigh, Over the fields we go, Laughing all the way~" Bruce began to sing. "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

"Bells on bobtail ring, Making spirits bright~" Estelle joined in since this was her favorite Christmas carol.

Akito was happy that his sister was happy to sing.

"What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight~" Everyone soon sang together as Bill played the piano. "Oh, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way, Oh, what fun it is to ride on a one-horse open sleigh, Hey!"

"Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg," Akito joked as he joined in. "The Batmobile lost a wheel and the Joker got away!"

This caused everyone to laugh at that. Akito smiled sheepishly and innocently.

"Silly Dad." Larvitar chuckled.

Unfortunately, their fun was soon going to be ruined.

"Is this what it's like in New York?" Yuko looked excited. "The snow at Christmas like the songs?"

"Well, you never know," Bill smiled as he put his hand on her shoulder. "But when it does snow, it's the most beautiful thing in the whole world."

Yuko sighed hopefully as she was excited to have her first Christmas outside of Japan. Espeon was just as excited.

"Very beautiful, everyone~" Mr. Salamone's voice said which seemed to make Bill nervous.

"But the Grand Ballroom is not a playground!" Edwin smirked as he held out his Captain Courageous action figure as he stood beside his uncle and Pokemon.

Larvitar looked as though he wanted to attack Edwin and Snubbull. Akito warned him not to, but he couldn't blame him as he wanted to punch Edwin in his stupid face.

"Yes, thank you, Edwin." Mr. Salamone told his nephew.

The kids and their Pokemon sighed in defeat and dismay. Edwin just smirked which made Eloise, Akito, Estelle, Vincent, and Felicity glare back at him as Snubbull also smirked while Ditto, Larvitar, Teddy, Vulpix, and Misdreavus glared back. A crystal spike started to rise up towards Edwin and Snubbull. Edwin and Snubbull panicked from that and held each other out of fear.

"I don't know where that came from, but Bill is a very busy man and has many things to attend to," Mr. Salamone told the group before whispering to the mentioned employee. "Especially the ice sculpture..."

"Of course, Mr. Salamone." Bill smiled.

Akito soon somehow made the crystal spike disappear. He then took a deep breath and quietly counted to ten to relax himself.

"Why don't you children go and play outside?" Mr. Salamone suggested.

"It's raining." Felicity replied.

"Yes, oh, so it is," Mr. Salamone replied back. "Well, we can't let the thought of a thunderstorm or lightning bolts stand in the way of a good time."

"No way." Vincent said.

"I know," Yuko spoke up. "Why don't we do the skating a while in the Crystal Room?"

"That's a great idea, they just polished the floor!" Tyler agreed.

The kids then ran off to the Crystal Room to slide around on the floor to pretend skate and this caused Mr. Salamone to panic.

Later on...

"Ugh, I'm so glad to not have any cases this holiday..." Atticus looked so relaxed for once as he lay down on the hotel bed for him and Mo.

"You've been working so hard lately," Mo replied. "Why don't you take a nap while the kids walk their pets?"

"That sounds nice." Atticus smiled.

The kids were in their coats while Felicity looked jealous as she didn't have her own pet, but someday in the future, she would have one.

"Be careful, kids, we'll see you later," Mo smiled as the kids went out to walk their pets. She soon noticed Akito looking rather concerned about something. "Is something the matter, sweetie?" she came toward him in concern.

"Uh, Mom, I think I might've unlocked a hidden power." Akito gulped.

"Oh, what is it, dear?" Mo asked.

"I got mad at Edwin and Snubbull... So... A crystal showed up..." Akito explained.

This made Mo's eyes widen.

"And then when I calmed down, it disappeared." Akito said.

"I-I see... Akito, I think your father and I need to talk to you about something..." Mo softly told her younger son.

"Did I do something wrong?" Akito replied.

"No, no, it's not your fault... It's... Well, it's about Sombra..." Mo sighed sharply.

"Oh, me and Estelle have met him." Akito smiled.

"You have?" Mo replied, she suddenly had chills down her spine.

"Yeah, Uncle Sombra!" Akito beamed. "He even gave me a spell book during the Debutante Ball!"

"What?!" Mo gasped.

"That's how I made suits and dresses for me and the others since Aunt Darla shipped a dress over to Eloise made by Christian Dior." Akito smiled as he thought this was a good thing.

'Oh, no, this is bad, this is really, really bad.' Mo thought to herself as her skin went pale.

"Mom... Are you okay?" Akito frowned. "You look sick."

"Mom, is something wrong?" Estelle asked her mother.

"J-Just go outside, kids..." Mo replied anxiously.

Akito and Estelle shrugged and went out with Scruffy and Dot as Felicity, Snow White, and Vincent were in the hallway as Margarita, Eloise, and Weenie were on their way to the elevator in their coats and hats. Mo soon rushed off to inform her husband. Atticus snored as he was fast asleep.

"I don't wanna wake him up..." Mo frowned. "I better wait a while."
