Chapter 4 – Tis' The Season to be a Pokémon?!
Ok before I start I just wanna let you guys know the first portion of this chapter takes place a day after the events of the previous chapter and the rest takes place 2 Months afterwards, Anyway without further ado let's begin the chapter shall we?
A Day Later…..
"Huh, WHAT DO YOU MEAN XATU'S NOT IN" Megan screamed down the video phone.
"I am so sorry but my husband won't be back until next year, he is currently on a business trip, I do apologize for any inconvenience caused" The Female Xatu said with a sad look on her face.
"It's fine, well anyway bye" Megan finished as she hung up "Sorry Tommy but you might have to wait for a while"
"It's ok besides at least I get to spend more time with you and Sammy" He beamed.
"Yeah, dat's hmmm true" Sammy piped in as she was munching on her piece of Toast. "Anyway how bout we get some requests done from the Request board" finishing off her Toast and pointing in the direction of the Request Board.
Tommy had no idea what a Request board was but he decided he would let them show him, the three of them headed off in the direction of the board.
Once they got there Megan saw a piece of paper on the board and decided to read it "This might be a good one, sooooooo what does it say, here we go 'Hello, my name is Dedenne, I was exploring Prism Cave and upon getting back home I realized I must have dropped my precious Pecha Berry there, can someone please fetch it for me, thank you', I think we should help this Pokémon, it doesn't have the biggest reward but you're not a true explorer if you just do if for the reward right?"
"Yeah, that's just being plain greedy, well let's go then" Tommy said as all 3 Pokémon Jumped in the Air and shouted as loud as they could "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH" and with that the Trio headed to Prism Cave and the start of their many fantastic adventures in the Pokémon World.
2 Months Later…..
December 10th 2013
Team Ace had become quite the talk of the town in a matter of only 2 Months, they had saved Pokémon, defeated bad guys and made amazing discoveries and now the trio have just come back from their mission on Frost Mountain.
"Wow, yet another treasure obtained but I wonder what it is?" Tommy said as they walked into the Living Room and set the treasure chest on the table.
"Well what are we waiting for let's open it" Sammy exclaimed with excitement.
"Ok, well here goes" and with that Megan opened the Chest and the three Pokémon looked inside and inside was a stone of some sort.
"What could this Stone be Megan" Sammy wondered with Awe.
"I know what it is, it's an ice rock, if you give it to an eevee it will be able to evolve into Glaceon" Megan informed her starstruck friend.
"Awesome" Tommy exclaimed as he picked it up and looked at it with amazement.
After looking at it Tommy put it back in it's chest and Megan took it over to the table and put the chest on it.
Tommy then realized that they had been doing requests for quite a while now and he didn't even know what the Date was.
"Hey Megan I never asked but what is the date exactly" Tommy asked the fire fox Pokémon.
"Oh, It's the 10th of December Why?" Megan replied in astonishment.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT, Oh dear oh dear oh dear, I GOTTA GO DO SOME SHOPPING SEE YA" Tommy cried as he ran out of the Mansion leaving a bewildered Megan and Sammy behind.
"Um Ok, what was that all about" Sammy wondered.
"I think he just realized it's almost Christmas hehe" Megan giggled with a blush.
…
"Excuse me Mr Kecleon do you by any chance have any reviver seeds" Tommy asked the bewildered shop keeper, Tommy knew how much Megan loved Reviver Seeds and wanted to buy some for her as a Christmas present.
"Lemme See, Reviver seeds, reviver seeds hmm" The Kecleon replied as he rummaged in the back of the shop "Nope I'm sorry but it looks like we're all out" Kecleon said feeling bad for the poor Pikachu.
"Aw well do you know where I can find some" he asked the kecleon
"As a matter of fact I do, theres a little place near here called Reviver Meadows and thousands of Reviver Seeds grow there every year" Kecleon said with a smile.
"Cool thanks" Tommy said as he walked towards his next destination which was Umbreon and Espeon's jewellery store.
"Hello there Tommy how are you and what does my favourite customer need" The friendly Umbreon said with a grin.
"Oh, I'm doing just fine and since it's almost Christmas I was wondering if you had a Plant bracelet" Tommy requested grinning back.
"Oh let me go find it" Umbreon said as he disappeared into the back of the shop and in a matter of seconds he was back with the bracelet and handed it to Tommy.
"There you go, that will be 750 Poké" Tommy handed him the money and decided he would leave for Reviver Meadows early next morning, so he headed back to the Mansion.
…
Early the next morning….
Tommy woke up and went to check on Megan and Sammy but both Pokémon were already asleep and with that Tommy headed downstairs and quickly but quietly left through the front door, he then sneaked through a quiet destiny town trying not to wake anyone since it appeared everyone was still asleep.
…
Tommy had arrived at Reviver Meadows and decided to look around there were fields of Reviver Seeds and the fields seemed to go on for miles and miles until he reached the centre and noticed the best batch of Reviver Seeds in the entire Meadow, he sneaked forward but suddenly "Do you think it's ok to steal my reviver seeds hmm" he heard a voice say.
"W-Who are you? I didn't know this batch belonged to someone" Tommy whimpered, he was scared, truly and utterly scared, who was speaking, what would they do to him? All of these questions made his head hurt.
"My Name is Croconaw" It said as it jumped down in front of Tommy and bared it's fangs "And since you've come here to steal my seeds I must destroy you"
"I didn't come to steal them, please you gotta believe me" Tommy said as he backed away from the frightening Pokémon.
"Pfft Yeah right WATER GUN" Croconaw Screamed as it launched a powerful jet of water at Tommy hitting him directly sending the young Pikachu flying.
"Well if you want a Battle, THEN A BATTLE IS WHAT YOU'LL GET, THUNDERBOLT" Tommy shouted as he launched a powerful blast of electricity sending Croconaw Flying, Tommy quickly grabbed the batch of reviver seed and ran as fast as he could out of the Meadow, he knew Stealing was wrong but Croconaw did attack him for no reason.
…
He had finally made it back to Destiny town and he could see Sammy and Megan shouting his name.
They both noticed him and ran over to him and of course started questioning him.
"Where have you been Mister?" Megan asked as Tommy quickly hid the seeds behind his back "We were worried sick when you disappeared you've been gone hours, no one in Town has woken up yet though"
"Oh I was just doing some special training well see ya, gonna go back to bed" Tommy said as he ran towards the mansion
…
Tommy ran into his room and placed the batch of reviver seeds in the same drawer as the Bracelet.
"Phew that was close" He sighed as he walked over to his bed and got under the covers quickly falling asleep.
…
It was now Christmas Eve, Snow had started falling, The Town we decorated for the season and all the Pokémon in Destiny town were either doing their Last Minute Christmas Shopping or discussing Christmas with their friends, meanwhile Tommy and Megan were decorating the tree adding tinsel, lights and bauballs.
"There all done" Megan said with a proud look at their Christmas Tree.
"Wow it looks so cool, I am so excited for Christmas" Tommy beamed at his Fennekin Friend.
"Yeah me too" She replied with a blush "It sure will be fun, beautiful and….. Romantic".
"I'm Hooooooooooome" they heard come from the door and as if on queue Sammy entered the room with her bags of shopping "Wow, the tree looks amazing you guys did an awesome job on it"
…
That Night….
All 3 Pokémon had gone to bed, Tommy thought to himself I wonder if Megan and Sammy will like what I got them.
This was going to be Tommy's first Christmas not in the Human world and he still wanted to know why he came to this world, what was his purpose here, but worrying about it wasn't going to help him now it's Christmas and that should be the first thing on his mind right now.
…
"Wake up sleepy head, it's Christmas" he could hear a voice say as they shook him awake, he opened his eyes and he could see Megan and Sammy sat on his bed holding presents.
"Here you go" Sammy said as she handed him her Present "Open It"
"Ok, I wonder what it could be" Tommy said as he shook the box and tore off the wrapping paper and it was a THUNDER STONE? "Huh, a thunder stone?"
"If the Spring ever opens up and you ever want to evolve you can use it" Sammy replied with a smile. "Megan already gave me my present and I already gave Megan hers"
"Wow T-Thanks it really means a lot" Tommy said as tears of happiness started to well up in his eyes and with that he leaned forward and hugged Sammy.
"Your Welcome" Sammy replied with a cherry red blush which Megan noticed and wondered if both Sammy and her had a crush on Tommy.
"Heres yours Tommy" Megan handed him her present and Tommy tore open the wrapping and inside of the box was a necklace of some sort.
"Whats this?" Tommy asked the young fennekin with a confused look.
"Oh It's a Necklace I made just for you tommy and look at the Pendant" Megan said as her face turned red.
And sure enough on the pendant was a Love Heart with Tommy and Megan in it and it said 'Friends Forever' and he then hung it around his neck.
"T-Thank you it means a lot Megan, I don't know what to say" Tommy said as he started to cry with happiness "Merry Christmas" and he leaned forward and embraced her tightly.
"Your welcome" Megan replied as the two Pokémon broke apart and Tommy jumped off the bed, grabbed the presents for Megan and Sammy and handed them the gifts.
Both Pokémon tore open the wrapping and gasped in astonishment "Well do you like them" Tommy asked the Pokémon.
"We don't just like them, we love them" The duo beamed at Tommy.
"I'm glad you do, so what's the plan for today?" Tommy asked Sammy.
"Well we could go to the Fair in Destiny Town, there is some really cool things happening there today" Sammy replied with a smile
"Ok let's go Pals" Megan said and with that they headed to Destiny Town.
They had a lot of fun at the fair, they went Ice Skating, Ate lot's of candy floss, they then went to the Christmas Show in the Town Square, built snowmen and had a snowball fight.
After all of the fun was over the team headed back home where Megan started cooking their dinner and within hours they were at the table eating a very delicious Roast Dinner which consisted of Roast Potatoes, Yorkshire Puddings, Carrots, Broccolli and that was covered in Steaming hot gravy.
After dinner everyone went up to bed and everyone said goodnight to one another and starting heading to their bedrooms.
Tommy got into bed and he started to wonder if his family was alright, what was going on at home but there was one thing he knew this had been his first Christmas as a Pokémon but he knew it was the greatest.
