The crowd of the Whirl Cup had got smaller in the past three hours, but it was still very large. "Not a bad job." a voice called to Jutta. It was a 39 man dressed in a blue shirt and blue pants. "Oak? Gary Oak? Virdian Gym Leader?" Jutta remarked. "What are you doing here." "Trying to find Ash Ketchum, so I can find Lance, so I can pay my gym rent." Gary remarked. "You don't had to go far." a voice remarked. It was Ash Ketchum, which removed his disguese. Misty was sitting about a few yards, next to Ash's bodyguards, Jessie and James. A meowth walked up to Jessie, and remarked to a New York accent, "Merrry Christmas, Jessie." Jessie replied, "Thank you, Meowth." "You weclome, Jessie." The meowth replied. "Holy Jinxs!" Ash remarked. "I forget! It's Dec. 24. How time flies when you watching Pokemon matches. Merry Christmas!" "You too!" Gary and Jutta remarked to Ash Ketchum. #############TBC.#######################################
