Pokemon Journeys Winter Special: Pikachu and Eevee's Winter Vacation

Chapter 4: Stantler's Little Helpers

One snowy night on Christmas Eve, Mew and her friends are staying in a cabin in the forest. Everyone prepares for Christmas Day, and for bed. Pikachu is entertaining Togepi and Pichu by making funny faces.

"I'm excited," Tomo says.

"Me too. I can't wait for Santa to come," Jen says.

"Wonder what he'll bring this year," Brock says.

"Well, we'll find out in the morning," Misty says.

Soon, the group hangs their stockings on the hooks of the bunkbeds.

Mew then lies down in bed as she calls out, "Pikachu. Eevee. It's time for bed."

Pikachu and Eevee then head for Mew's bed.

Misty says, "Togepi. Pichu. You two."

"Meloetta. Skwovet. Bedtime," Tomo says.

"Come on Amaura, Snubbul, it's time to sleep," Jen says.

Soon, the other Pokemon rush to their trainers' bed and snuggle into bed.

"Goodnight, everybody," Brock says.

"Goodnight," Everyone replies.

Later, while everyone is asleep, Chikoirta pops out of her Pokeball. Chikorita looks around and lets out a happy cry and runs to the bed Mew is sleeping. Chikorita hops up and down to see Pikachu sleeping next to Mew. She then turns to her right to see Eevee sleeping on the other side. Out of jealousy, Chikorita lifts Pikachu out of the bed and onto the floor with Vine Whip and takes Pikachu's place there and snuggles to Mew. Togepi is soon woken up by this.

Amaura and the others soon wake up from their sleep as well. Soon, Bulbasaur, Heracross, Vulpix, Winter the Alolan Vulpix, Poliwag, Psyduck, and Squirtle come out of their Pokeballs. Togepi and the others hop off of bed to play, even Chikorita. Pikachu stands up and wonders how he managed to get on the floor.

Heracross soon starts drinking nectar from Bulbasaur's bulb, only for Bulbasaur to retaliate with Vine Whip. Chikorita hops up on a nightstand to look out the window. Bulbasaur gives Togepi and Pichu a lift so they can see.

"Bulbasaur!" (Up you go!) Bulbasaur says.

The Pokemon wipe the window so they can see, and spot a sparkling Christmas tree outside. Suddenly, Chikorita and the other Pokemon spot a red beam of light streaking across the sky.

All the Pokemon soon put their faces against the window, but it suddenly opens and they fall out into a pile of snow. Then the Pokemon bursts out of the snow pile and heads into the woods to see what the streak of light is and where it lands.

Pikachu finally bursts out and races off as he calls out, "Pika!" (Wait up!)

Everyone continues running through the woods and comes to a stop to find the source of the light. Turns out, it's Santa Clause tending to his Stantler, who looks very under the weather.

"This doesn't look good," Santa says, petting his Stantler.

Everyone soon approaches, and the Pokemon are surprised that it's really him.

Pikachu is the first to ask, "Pika Pika?" (Is something wrong?)

"Oh, hello, there," Santa says.

Eevee looks at Stantler, "Eevee Eevee?" (What's wrong with your Stantler?)

"Chiko," (Is Stantler okay?) Chikoirtia asks, worried.

"I'm afraid Stantler here seems a little under the weather," Santa says.

Pikachu touches Stantler's forehead to check its temperature, but is shocked to feel that it's running a fever. Eevee and Chikoirta do the same, and can tell Stantler is not well at all.
