[ It wasn't that long ago that Credence had been in Cherrygrove. At least it was somewhere he recognized. He couldn't afford to be nervous. He needed to keep an air of at least semi-confidence which should be easier once he found Newt.

He hoped.

Tina was sitting proudly next to him while Rocky, his weakly named Rockruff was sniffing around the Pokemon Center lobby. It only took a few moments before he started trying to drag away someone's bag because it was filled with Poffins and Credence was having to scold him and apologize to the trainer that was nearly robbed accidentally. ]

Ms. Newt will hardly trust me if you're making trouble, Rocky. You're supposed to be keeping an eye out. Where is Modesty..?

[ Tina looked a little sheepish at that, ears lowering. She hadn't noticed Modesty wander off.

The Lillipup had left the Pokemon center to actually go searching for Newt. She was certain she would be able to find her in short order and bring her back to Credence. ]

[There's no hesitance or awkwardness here, it's just Botan!]

Hello, dear. This is Botan, I'm home now whenever you wanted to stop by.

[Simple and to the point, yep.]

Hey!

Just thought I'd give you a call, see how your Poke-training adventure's going! Caught anything cool lately?

Hello, I'm Armin. I think Shiro probably told you I would be calling. He told me you are having a problem with a Poliwag?

(ooc: no rush obviously; I just wanted to post this before I forgot to do it...again.)
-

Newt! Guess what guess what!

[Morning, Newt. Hope you weren't trying to have a nice, calm morning or anything.

Mabel has been up for a few hours already and looks beyond excited as she bops about, clearly hopping from one foot to the other.]

I've got a surprise for you!!

[Wherever Newt is on the 23rd, an official Mail Pidgey manages to find her to drop off a small package.

Inside the package is a Friend Ball, and a handwritten note. The writing is in all caps, is kind of chicken-scratchy, and reads:]

THANKS PLAYING MY GUESSING GAME! HERE'S YOUR PRIZE!

-KRIEG

I have a present for you. Someone told me about a Pokemon that eats dreams. I was in the right place at the right time and happened to find one. They can project dreams, too, but I've already asked it not to project yours.

[Under Boone's sagely advice.]

I'll send it to you whenever you have the space.

If you are going to come celebrate Christmas in this house, you are definitely also getting a gift.

To Newt,

Thank you again for taking care of Phobos for me. I hope you will enjoy this gift. It might come in handy while you are travelling.

Yours sincerely,
Armin

Newt will receive --neatly wrapped, of course-- a big book with the words 'The Practical Book to Adventuring' across the front. Inside, she'll find a veritable treasure trove of knowledge, to handle just about anything you might come across while pokemon travelling. There are basic first aid tips (both for humans and pokemon), ways of tying different knots, ways of telling the time from the sun, how to create a compass using only a needle and some water and the list goes on. The book also includes various clear illustrations to help clarify the text, which has been written in such a way that it clearly addresses kids starting their first pokemon journey. The book also includes a long chapter on everything you need to know when building your secret base, tips on how to conceal it and decorate it and ways to avoid common problems.

[In her room one morning, Newt will find a nicely wrapped package. Should she decide to open it, she will find a Fire Stone. It's wrapped up in a big, cozy hoodie, a few sizes too large. That way, she can curl up in it for years to come. Some cookies (baked by a bakery) are in the package as well.]

The stone is for Ripley. Whenever you two feel ready for it. Hopefully the coat keeps you warm in the meantime.

Krieg got something extra-special for Newt this Christmas - An extra large heaping of trauma!

1x Torchic egg
12x Sugar cookies
1,000,000x Apologies +/- 1,000,000x hugs if she wants them

-----------

[Krieg is extra excited for this particular present-recipient combo. He's waited for a quiet moment to approach Newt, the egg cradled very carefully in both of his large hands. Murder Chicken is right behind him, as excited as his trainer. He just knows this latest of his offspring will grow up big and strong and help Newt squish all the bugs!]

Hey, Firefly! I got you somethin'!

[He crouches down so that he's at something approximating Newt-height and proffers the egg, still nestled in both of his hands. If he were any more excited, he'd be vibrating.]

[What does Newt get delivered to her via the Poke air mail? A box of colored pencils (one of the big ones, with the absurd number of colors) and a tablet of white paper. He's never met someone her age that didn't appreciate an assortment of colors.]

[He includes a hastily scrawled note in all caps-] HAVE FUN RECORDING YOUR ADVENTURES [-on a post-it, pinned to the blank book.]

MERRY CHRISTMAS NEWT!!!

A very determined and spirited Pidgey will seek Newt out on Christmas morning with a slightly lumpy but lovingly wrapped package and card just for her! Inside she'll find a bright yellow sweater that was hand knit just for her that's just a little oversized--perfect for burrowing into and hiding in when you're scared--that has daisies all over the front of it.

There's also a small box of goodies wrapped up inside the sweater that contains:

-Rice Krispie treats with green and red sprinkles
-Marshmallow Snowmen
-Gingerbread Cookies shaped like Pokemon
-Chocolate cupcakes with green, red and white frosting
-Sugar Cookies shaped with Christmas trees decorated with small candies

The card is full of glitter and stickers of all kinds that Newt can put on whatever she wants and reads as follows:

'MERRY CHRISTMAS NEWT!

I hope you have a super awesome totally fantastic time this year and I wish I could have given this to you in person but I promise we'll see each other soon and I'll give you a super big hug then okay?

Love, Mabel'

Hey uh, I know Connor already got the Butterfree to you, but I finally evolved the second half of the set. It's a Beautifly. So now if you have the room, you'll have enough to help you out at a gym where you can use bugs.

Newt? Neeeewt...hi.

[It feels like it's been too long since Thida and Newt chatted. Let's fix that.]

Whatcha doin'?

[Hank's going to send her a wooden baseball bat, a helmet, a glove, and a ball from Olivine. It'll include a note-]

Hopefully this'll get you started. Until I have a chance to teach you, maybe one of your friends or your pokemon can throw the ball for you.

[After everything, two days before Christmas, Hank's found himself alone again. If wish-granting Pokemon are something, then they're full of shit because this is not something he wished for. He's glad Newt's name is still there on his Pokedex when he gets in contact.]

So, uh...

Where are you gonna be for Christmas? Got anyone to spend it with?
