Merry Christmas Everyone!
Enjoy this special chapter celebrating the holidays

Sheridan village
Arena

After the events on Carotos mountain, the people of Sheridan were finally starting to go back to normal, well mostly since snow had began to fall suddenly.

Aelita and Ray can be seen training with their signature pokemon Hawlucha and Prinplup.

Aelita was still down about her dad's demise so Ray thought it'd be fun to train in the snow to sharpen their skills for their future endeavors.

Ray on the right side of arena stuck his right hand out "Pip! Bubble beam!" He ordered.

"Priiiiii olluu!" The bright blue penguin shoots out a concentrated beam of liquid bubbles at a red bipedal red hawk with the design of a luchador.

"Counter with jump kick! Hawlucha!" Aelita gave a little jump of her own as she called to Hawlucha.

"Hawwwww!" The hawk jumps avoiding the beam of water bubbles and aims his talon at the penguin.

"Block the kick with metal claw!" Ray immediately ordered pip to blocked the powerful kick.

"Piiiiiii!" 'shwaaaaaa!' prinplup managed to block the kick with it's silver colored flipper.

"Now use the momentum from the attack to do an exclusive Flying press!" Aelita jumped signaling Hawlucha to do his thing.

"Hawwwwww!" The bird jumps from the flipper straight into the air however.

'Bam!' "delllllllll!" "Hawwwww!" The hawk collided with another bird in the sky as the two fall down to the ground.

"Huh is that a delibird?" Aelita asked seeing the strange red bird with a huge white tail fall unconscious.

"Let me check the Pokedex" Ray picks the silver phone like device with red lining to confirm the species of the supposed pokemon.

Delibird
The delivery pokemon.
A flying and ice type

Delibird is said to fly around the south side of any region packing a ton of food in it's spacious sack like tail.

The Pokedex explained in a robotic feminine voice.

"Wait it packs food right? This isn't food" Aelita reached inside the tail and brought out 5 nicely wrapped boxes instead of typical bird food.

"That's... Definitely not good, what do we do now?" Ray asked the lilac haired girl.

"Hmmmm? I think I have a plan" Aelita smiled evilly.

Cherry blossom inn

The best lodging quarters in Sheridan, designed with a beautiful pink floral pattern designed on the wooden.

Inside two old ladies were discussing about something.

"I come here every year and you always managed to make this place seem like a home to me, thank you Eldest" an elderly woman in a blue dress said happily.

*You're welcome Marge, the people of Sheridan will always show it's hospitality to you" the other old lady wearing cream and red said holding a her brand new wing staff.

As the two were talking another pair came running at them.

"Eldest! Baaa-chan!(Granny)" Aelita and Ray shout out her name.

"Sighhhhh, excuse me for a moment Marge" Eldest leaves the side of the other old woman to face whatever problem Aelita and co had brought.

The eldest was shocked when she saw the Delibird and even more shocked to see it had presents in it's sack tail.

"This is bad, I heard a legend that Santa sends millions of delibirds to deliver gifts to different towns however this bird is different in no position to give presents"

"How about we go instead, it was our fault after all" Aelita suggested.

"Hmmm, that's not a bad idea, I'll get the costumes!" Ray runs off.

"Hey! You two better not screw this up, I don't want any holiday spirit angry at any of us" Eldest warned "also they say those who don't pay respects to the holiday are attacked by a monster Weredeer!" She continued.

"Weredeer, got it Eldest bye!" Aelita says not paying attention and runs after ray.

"Those kids...." Eldest looks on stressed out.

Using Weepinbell and Prinplup's powers Ray cuts down some trees and manages to make a proper Sleigh.

"Now then, we need a strong flying type Pokemon to get us airborne" Ray said.

"Leave that to my Hawlucha! You've got the outfits?" Asked Aelita.

"You know it! check it out!" Ray brings out two Santa costumes and tosses one to Aelita, who puts its on her usual clothes, while ray does the same.

The two then bring the huge bag of presents and put it in the Sleigh.

"I can't believe that single bird carried these many presents in it's small tail!" Ray said.

"Pokemon sure are amazing, and all these presents belong to the people of East Gearan and Sheridan, hey here's mine" Aelita picks up a purple box with her name on it. "I'll keep this for later let's deliver the ones in Sheridan first" she suggested.

"Sure thing, come out pip! You'll help with the delivery too!" Ray says getting into the Sleigh.

'pop!' "prinnnp!" Prinplup shots excited as he wears rubber anterlers and stands next to the sack of presents.

"Alright here we go Hawlucha!" Aelita shouts as she orders Hawlucha to fly them upwards.

Hawlucha comes out from his PokeBall wearing rubber antlers as if he's Rudolf and flies up carrying the sleigh in the process as well.

"Yahhhhoooooowwwww!" The kids shout as they fly through the skies of Sheridan, dropping presents through any opening they see in the houses they pass by.

"Priiiiiiii!" Pip had a hard time adjusting to the speed and dropping presents but eventually got used to it as the team headed towards east Gearan.

As they started giving out parents through the small holes in the huge buildings in the city, Ray had to take a bathroom break and left Aelite in the sky until.

'Shrruruuuuuuuuu!' dark clouds started to surround the sleigh and something ominous could be seen from within.

"What is that?" Aelita wondered as she stared closer at it.

''Froooooooooowww!' suddenly a black figure jumps out revealing itself to be a huge flying humanoid brown deer monster.

"No way! Is that the weredeer Eldest was talking about, why is it attacking us? We didn't disrespect Christmas!" Aeluta shouts but her cries fall on deaf airs as the monster starts charging up a hyper beam.

"If it's a battle you want, I'll give you one proper! Combusken let's go!" Aelita sends out her fire fighting chicken "commbusssss!" The poke gives a battle crybas it comes out from it's ball.
"Use flamethrower!" Aelita orders and the chicken shoots a stream of fire at the deer however.

"Breeeeeihhhhhkkkkkikikiiiiiiii!" The deer destroys the flame thrower and damages the sleigh with a power beam of yellow energy.

"Kyahhhhh!" We're going down!" Aelita cried as she tries to control the falling sleigh.

"Haaaaaaaawww!" 'crash!' Hawlucha manages to land on a the roof of a tall story building.
They three then look up to see the deer readying another hyper beam however....

"Prinnnnnn plup!" 'slash!' using it's silver flippers To slash the left side of the weredeer's face and dispelling it's attack.

"Pip! Ray!" Aelita smiled as she saw Ray flying towards her hanging onto his Swoobat.

"Aelita look that thing is sparking!"  Ray pointed out that where pip had struck was sparking with electricity and wiring.

"It's a robot?!" Aelita said surprised.
"Alright then Hawlucha bring it down to earth with a flying press attack!" Aelita ordered.

"Hawwwwwww luuuucha!" The hawk wrestler jumps and aims AA perfectly time body press attack from the sky at the robot deer bringing it down to the rooftop of the building Aelita was on.

"Now then, let's see who's behind this “deering” deed" ray made a terrible pun.

"Kya hahahahahaha good one!" Aelita still somehow found it funny as he removed the head of the were deer only to see.

"The hell?! Dr Jenkel?!!" Ray shouted as he saw a purple haired scientist in the mechanical deer suit.

"A scientist?! So you disguised yourself as a weredeer to destroy Christmas cause you hate it?" Aelita questioned the crazy man.

"And I would have gotten away with it too! If it wasn't for you meddling kids and your disgusting bird Pokemon" Jenkel hissed at Hawlucha and prinplup who also gave him the stunk eye.

"Wait a sec that can't be everything, come on Jenkel what's the real reason for the cosplay?" Ray questioned him some more.

"Well, It all started when I was a young lad, the delibird never gave me the gift, I didn't know if I was being naughty or just being to nice, I never got one, not even once, so now as an adult I planned to ruin it for everyone! So no one gets any presents!" Jenkel explained.

Aelita felt bad for the man, and from the kindness of her heart, she gave him a present "here Jenkel, you need this more than I do".

"A present?! Nobody's ever gotten me a present before! Thank you, net time I make a chimera clone I'll name it Aelita! Sayonara Ray, till next time" 'phwwwuuuuuuu!' Jenkel thanks her and goes back to his lab in the robotic deer.

"Well that was crazy, let's finish up the deliveries and head home" Aelita insisted and Ray followed her demands with zero resistance.

The duo managed to deliver the rest of the presents and headed back home to Sheridan.

Aelita gets off the sleigh and wwalks to the Cherry blossom inn however Ray calls out to her "Hey Aelita".

"Huh...... No way" Aelita freezes as she sees what Ray is holding.

"Merry Christmas it's not much, picked it up when I was coming back from the bathroom" ray says holding a box of fingerless gloves.

"This...this is what I wanted.... Thanks Ray" Aelita smiled blushing as well.

"Don't worry about it, what a4 friends for" Ray answered with his own smile on.

Christmas was saved by these two and the very next day, Delibird recovered and headed back to the north pole to tell Santa the tale of two Kids.
