Ashlyn and her friends along with their Pokémon were relaxing near a beach when Tesla spotted a Pokémon near the shore.
"Rai, rai! (Ashlyn, look!)" Tesla pointed to the Pokémon.
The group looked to where Tesla was pointing and saw Jynx holding a boot who was looking very worried.
"A Jynx?" Ashlyn took out her phone.
[Jynx, the Human Shape Pokémon. This Pokémon has some very unusual powers. Its special attack is the Lovely Kiss, which puts its opponent into a deep sleep.]
"Strange. What's a Jynx doing all the way out here?" Flint asked.
"Maybe it's lost?" Brock suggested.
"Maybe." Ashlyn turned Misty, "Misty, why don't you ask your Jynx to talk with Jynx? Maybe she can find out why it's out here."
"Good idea." Misty turned to her Jynx, "Jynx, could you talk to that Jynx to see what's wrong?"
Jynx nodded, "Jynx Jynx. (No problem, Misty.)"
Misty's Jynx walked over to the other Jynx. The other Jynx was surprised to see Misty's Jynx. One minute later, both Jynx's walked up to the group. Jynx held out the boot to the gang.
Flint blinked, "Why is it holding a boot?"
"Maybe its from its trainer." Brock theorized.
"You might be right." Volkner agreed.
Misty gently takes the boot and looks inside and gasped, "It can't be!"
"What's wrong, Misty?" Ashlyn asked.
"I think this boot belongs to Santa Claus!" Misty said.
"To Santa Claus?" Brock asked, confused.
"Just look inside," Misty said and the others were somewhat able to see Santa's picture inside, "It's got his picture right there!"
"Then that means that Santa must be Jynx's trainer!" Ashlyn stated.
"Rai! (Wow!)" Tesla smiled.
"Chu! (So cool!)" Levina's eyes sparkled.
"Raichu! (Really cool!)" Raichu smiled.
"But why are you out here on your own, Jynx?" Ashlyn questioned.
Jynx's hair begins to glow and the strands of hair were placed on the gang's foreheads and they saw a vision. They saw Jynx polishing Santa's boot at the North Pole, when the ice it was sitting on suddenly cracked and became an ice float, resulting in the Pokémon leaving the North Pole. When the vision ended, Jynx started crying.
"You drifted away from the North Pole while you were shining Santa's boot." Misty said.
Jynx nodded with tears in the corner of its eyes.
"How's Santa gonna deliver presents without this Jynx at his right hand and this boot on his left foot?" Brock questioned.
"Don't worry, we'll help you, Jynx!" Ashlyn proclaimed.
Volkner nodded in agreement, "This should be fun."
Misty's Jynx and the other Pokémon nodded while smiling. Santa's Jynx thanked them repeatedly.
=========================================================
Ashlyn had Wartortle, Dewgong, and Seadra out and Misty had called out Starmie, Staryu, Goldeen, and Psyduck. All the Pokémon including the gang helped create the raft for Jynx so they could get her to the North Pole, well...except Psyduck.
Psyduck outright refused to go near the water much to Misty's annoyance, "Will you just get in the water already!"
Psyduck shook his head quickly before hiding behind Ashlyn who smiled nervously, "Psyduck...by any chance, can you not swim?"
The Pokémon nodded repeatedly much to everyone's shock.
"How is that possible? I'm pretty sure that Psyduck's can swim." Flint sweat-dropped.
"Misty's is a special case." Brock stated.
"That's true." Volkner agreed.
"Raichu (Poor Psyduck)." Tesla said.
"Why don't we just let him ride the raft with us Misty? He's really terrified." Ashlyn asked.
Misty sighed, "Well all right."
The gang finished the raft and the water Pokémon (Wartortle, Dewgong, Seadra, Staryu, Starmie, and Goldeen) were pulling it as they swam through the water, but Psyduck was riding it with the gang seeing as how he can't swim. But soon the Pokémon were starting to get tired.
"They're getting tired." Brock observed.
"Yeah." Misty agreed.
"Misty, let's switch with our other water Pokémon." Ashlyn decided.
Misty nodded, "Right."
So Ashlyn and Misty returned their water Pokémon and let out the others. Misty let out Cloyster, Seadra, Tentacool, Mudkip, Horsea, and Dewgong while Ashlyn let out and Dragonair. But soon after a while, the water Pokémon began to get tired. Ashlyn and Misty switched their water Pokémon again. Misty let out Lapras and Ashlyn let out Rory. After a few moments, the two water Pokémon got tired as well. So Misty and Ashlyn had to return them.
"I'll pull us the rest of the way so they can get some rest." Ashlyn volunteered as she took off her clothes, leaving her in her black one-piece swimsuit which made Volkner blush at the sight.
"Are you sure?" Flint asked.
"I'm sure." Ashlyn assured them as she tied the rope around her waist and got into the water. Then she started pulling the raft. She soon started feeling a little tired but pushed herself to keep going for Jynx's sake.
"(Chosen one.)"
She suddenly heard a voice making her look over her shoulder, "Did you guys say something?"
"I didn't say anything." Misty said.
"Me neither." Brock added.
Volkner shook his head, "I haven't said a word."
"Not a word from me." Flint said.
Tesla, Levina, and Raichu shook their heads.
"I see." Ashlyn turned back around, 'Maybe I just imagined it.'
"(You've got a long way to go.)"
She knew she didn't mishear it that time but didn't have time to think about it as she was soon swept up in a wave, while the others were drifting away on the raft.
"Ashlyn!" Volkner, Misty, Brock, and Flint yelled.
Ashlyn was plunged underwater but surprisingly she could breathe, "What? How am I breathing underwater?"
"(Chosen one.)"
She looked ahead of her and saw a pale blue light of a creature that looked pretty big in her opinion, getting a closer look she saw it was a Lapras!
"A Lapras!"
Lapras smiled, "(Indeed. I was sent by Santa to help find Jynx and bring her back to the North Pole. Then I saw you trying to help Jynx. That was very kind of you.)"
Before Ashlyn could say anything else, Lapras already brought her to the surface where the gang was staring at her with relieved faces.
"You're okay!" Misty said with relief.
The other were relieved as well.
"Wait a minute! She's riding a Lapras." Volkner said.
Misty took out Ashlyn's phone:
[Lapras. This intellectual advanced Pokémon is able to understand human speech. With its mild temperament, Lapras prefers to carry humans on its back, rather than engage in Pokémon battles.]
"Wow, so it can understand people? Cool." Flint smiled.
Lapras chuckled, "(Thank you for the compliment.)"
"It talks?!" Misty, Brock, Volkner, and Flint exclaimed.
"(Like Jynx, I am able to communicate telepathically. I will bring you all to Santa's workshop as a token of thanks.)" Lapras smiled.
"Thanks Lapras!" Ashlyn thanked Lapras.
Lapras giggled and decided to pull the raft for the gang. The gang was happy to hear that. Funny enough that Brock was hugging Jynx and she tried to kiss him which made him very uncomfortable, and it was somewhat funny to the rest of the gang. As Lapras was pulling the raft, they noticed rain clouds and took out their raincoats and put them on. The only Pokémon that stayed out were Jynx, Tesla, Levina, Togepi, and Lucario, who popped out of his Pokéball and decided to stay out for a while. Tesla and Levina were cuddled inside of Ashlyn's raincoat. Togepi was cuddled inside of Misty's raincoat. Jynx used her hair to keep Lucario from getting wet.
"This so exciting!" Misty was smiling from ear to ear.
"I never thought we would get to meet Santa." Volkner stated.
"I'm so nervous." Ashlyn smiled nervously.
"There's no need to be nervous," Brock smiled, "I'm sure Santa's a nice person."
"(He is, he knows all of you very well.)" Lapras told them.
They swam for what felt like hours until they finally arrived at Santa's workshop up ahead of them, but before they could go any further a large Gyarados submarine appeared blocking their path.
"What the-?" Flint stared up at the monstrosity.
"Team Rocket!" Ashlyn glared.
Team Rocket appeared on the top of the submarine. However, they looked exhausted as they tried to say their motto.
"Quick Lapras use Ice Beam!" Ashlyn called out.
Lapras used Ice Beam and froze Team Rocket and their submarine, preventing them from moving, "(We'll bring them inside and see what their intentions are.)"
"If you say so, Lapras." Ashlyn said uncertainly.
"I say we just toss them in the ocean." Misty suggested.
"Um...no." Flint sweat-dropped.
"That would be too cruel, Misty." Volkner sweat-dropped.
=========================================================
"Let go of me right now!" Jessie demanded.
They got Team Rocket inside and tied them up so they wouldn't cause any trouble.
"Forget it." Volkner glared.
"Yeah, the second we let you guys go you'll just cause trouble like you always do." Misty stated.
"Of course we cause trouble." Jessie smirked.
"And we make it double." James smirked.
Ashlyn instantly gaged them, "There's no way I'm listening to that."
Brock, Volkner, Misty, and Flint gave her a thumbs up.
"But why was Team Rocket here waiting for us anyway?" Ashlyn questioned.
However, Ashlyn already knew why.
Lapras looked at them, "(It would appear that the one called Jessie has a grudge against Jynx.)"
"Why?" Misty tilted her head.
Jessie spat out the cloth Ashlyn put in her mouth, "Because that thief stole my doll!"
Silence.
Everyone looked at her and it was silent for a few minutes before a few of them went off.
"Are you serious?!" Misty and Flint yelled.
Ashlyn sweat-dropped, "I don't even want to imagine that."
"Me neither." Volkner agreed with a sweat-drop.
"I remember it clearly! I woke up and watched that thieving Pokémon take my doll!" Jessie accused.
"Jynx did no such thing." A voice stated making them all turn around to see a man wearing a red suit sporting a white beard.
"It's Santa!" Ashlyn smiled.
Santa came over to them, "Jynx didn't steal your doll Jessie, she merely took it to bring it back here to the shop to fix it up because it was broken."
"So that's what happened." Misty said.
Jynx went in the back and brought over Jessie's doll from way back then and gave it to her. Jessie stared at the doll with tears in her eyes, Santa had Jynx untie her so she could hold her doll, and "You mean you didn't try to steal it? You were just getting it repaired for me?"
Jynx nodded.
"But then why didn't you return it?" Jessie questioned.
"Because you stopped believing that's why." Santa told her.
Jessie smiled from ear to ear and hugged the doll close to her chest making the others smile, but of course Meowth had to ruin it when he somehow got free and summoned another Gyarados submarine and tried to grab the presents, but Santa wouldn't allow it. He summoned a bunch of Jynx's out of nowhere.
"Jynx use Psywave!" Santa ordered.
All of the Jynx's raised their hands in the air and summoned blue rings making the presents come back to them much to Meowth and James's shock, Jessie was too busy in her own little world happy to have her doll back.
"Tesla, Levina use Thunderbolt! Lucario, Aura Sphere!" Ashlyn commanded.
Tesla, Levina, and Lucario jumped in the air and sent their powerful attacks and destroying the Gyarados submarine.
"TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" James and Meowth screamed as they disappeared into the sky.
"They just never learn, do they?" Ashlyn said.
Volkner nodded, "Yeah."
Santa laughed merely before he gave them all presents much to their surprise, but they simply smiled having received them.
Santa had given Ashlyn an accessary for Natsu's Mega Stone which he was happy to wear (similar to what Alain's Charizard wears), Mega Stones for her beast trio, a Metal Coat, more Mega Stones, and a Pokémon egg. Misty had received a Mystic Water Pendent which she always wanted to have, and Brock got a Metal Coat. Then Misty, Brock, Volkner, and Flint all received a Key Stone and a Mega Stone for one of their Pokémon.
"Ashlyn, I have a special present for you." Santa told the girl.
"What is it?" Ashlyn asked.
"I want you to have this." Santa held out a Chinese white bamboo dizi flute with a sapphire blue tassel on it.
"Wow, it's so beautiful. But are you sure you want me to have it?" Ashlyn asked, uncertain.
Santa nodded, "I have a feeling that you will need it."
Ashlyn gazed at Santa and back at the flute. Then she gently took the flute from his hands. As she held it, she felt a connection to it. She looked up and smiled at Santa, "I'll take good care of it, Santa."
Santa smiled and nodded, "I know you will."
========================================================
The gang bid Santa farewell and saw him get on his sleigh riding off into the night sky, "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
Having helped Santa, the gang headed off with happy memories.
