018 - Raise your voice in Yuletide song now, all the tunes are old, the words are new~♪

[bestwishes]

[Despite some of the recent drama he has been subject to, Ash is getting into the Christmas spirit. You may find him around town singing Christmas carols as he wanders about the streets. However, they may be somewhat different to the carols you know?]

Rapidashing through the snow~♪ With a Horsea on our sleigh~♪
Slowpoke and Slowbro~♪ Laughing all the way~♪
Bellsprout starts to sing~♪ So does Magnemite~♪
Then Seaking will start to ring~♪ The jingle bells tonight~!

Poké Balls, Poké Balls~♪
Throw them all the way~♪
You may catch the Pokémon you want on Christmas day~♪

[Your big not!bro is in an unusual mood this morning - annoyed! Last night he bought Christmas decorations and planned on getting a tree tonight, only to find out that Mayfield did it all for him last night. Does this town EVER let them have any fun?

The hell with it. He's out front of the house now putting up MORE LIGHTS because he wants to, damnit. He hears Ash singing as you pass by.]

Um. How'd that go again?

[bestwishes]

Hm?

... "Poké Balls, Poké Balls~♪ Throw them all the way~♪"?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, well I guess carols would be different where everyone comes from... but you still have Christmas then, yeah?

[bestwishes]

Of course we do! Each year, Santa brings toys to all the good boys and girls around the world who believe in him!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I guess some holidays really persist throughout the universe then. That's amazing.

Ah, I just wish Mayfield would let us handle Christmas.

[He pauses for a moment, looking at the house, then turns back to you.]

Would you be against having two trees?

[bestwishes]

Sure, I wouldn't mind two trees at all.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Good. Maybe I'll set up the second one outside. I was looking forward to doing it, and then Mayfield swooped in and did it for us. No fun in that.

[bestwishes]

Man, this town takes the fun out of everything. Even training my Pokémon gets a bit difficult when I don't have anyone to battle with...

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. And while I'm sure something terrible will happen Christmas day, I don't plan on letting Mayfield spoil the rest of the season. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.

[bestwishes]

Yeah, that's probably the best idea, huh?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Right. So make sure you get your Christmas presents before we're all locked inside, yeah?

[bestwishes]

I still haven't quite figured out what I should get anybody though...

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Me either. Mayfield doesn't give you much in the way of shopping variety. I'm sort of at a loss myself.

[The decorations have Hajime... in an even better mood than usual, if that's possible. But Ash's song makes him giggle.]

I don't think I know that one.

[bestwishes]

And here I thought everyone knew that one...

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

Is it from your world?

[bestwishes]

Right! It's known as Jingle Bells.

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

Really? We have Jingle Bells where I'm from, but those aren't the words.

[bestwishes]

... Well, I guess you would have Poké Balls there, huh? ... Or Bellsprouts. ... Or any of those other Pokémon.

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

Uh... what's a Pokemon?

[bestwishes]

Oh, uh... They're like animals with superpowers?

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

Oh... like those Eidolon things that Palom was telling me about?

[bestwishes]

Eido-what?

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

Not really sure. He said he calls them up and they use their powers to stomp all over the bad guys.

[bestwishes]

Ah, I see...
