Chapter 116: A Talking Lapras Helps Our Heroes

(Meanwhile, Team Rocket is once again spying on Mew and her friends, and to Jessie, Jynx becomes her target.)

Jessie: "It's the twerps again! And it looks like Santa Claus is conning them, too!"

(Jessie angrily says.)

James: "It's so close to Christmas, they must be on their way to Santa's workshop,"

(James suspects.)

Jessie: "If we follow them…"

(Jessie says, thinking of the idea.)

(Then Meowth concludes.)

Meowth: "We'll find his hideout and grab a gazillion gifts!"

Jessie: "That'll teach Santa not to steal from me!"

(Jessie says, raising her arm up to the idea.)

(Soon, Mew and the others have an idea on how to get Jynx to the North Pole.)

(They build a raft and plan to sail to Santa's Workshop themselves.)

Misty: "We have to figure out a way to get to Santa's workshop,"

(Misty says.)

(Soon Mew has an idea.)

Mew: "I have an idea! We can use our Water Pokemon to get to the North Pole.

Misty: "Good idea. I should've thought of it,"

(Misty says.)

(Soon, everyone calls out their Pokemon, Squirtle, Krabby, Cloyster, Goldeen, Staryu, Starmie, Vaporeon, Magikarp, Psyduck, and Golduck.)

(Soon, they are tied to the raft and pulling it as they swim.)

Mew: "Alright! Next stop, Santa's workshop! North Pole!"

(Mew calls out.)

(Psyduck however, is the only one who isn't pulling.)

(In fact, Psyduck isn't a good swimmer.)

(Misty reassures Psyduck.)

Misty: "Don't worry, you can ride with us."

(As the Pokemon pull the raft, Team Rocket are following.)

(them from their Gyarados submarine and Jessie plans on getting some payback.)

(Back on the surface, the sun is shining bright down on them.)

(Brock looks around and notices.)

Brock: "Guys! I think we've been drifting off course!"

(Soon, everyone notices their Pokemon is getting tired.)

(Mew, Misty, and Tomo call out.)

Mew, Misty, and Tomo: "Come on, you guys! Full speed ahead!"

(Soon, the Pokemon regain their strength and pull the raft more.)

(Soon enough, all the Pokemon are tuckered out and don't have much energy.)

Misty: "The Pokemon are pooped,"

(Misty notices.)

(Soon enough, Mew ties herself to the raft worth the rope around waist.)

Mew: "I'll take over for a while! I ought to be able to paddle to the pole."

(Mew dives in the water and begins to paddle in the water.)

(Surprisingly, Mew is actually doing a very good job.)

(She is able to paddle for over an hour or so.)

(Sadly, Mew is starting to get tired as well.)

(Tired, Mew continues to swim and take deep breaths.)

Mew: "It's. Further. Than. I. Thought. Maybe. We. Ought to. Turn. Back."

(Suddenly, she hears a voice.)

???: "You're heading in the right direction."

(Mew becomes confused and looks around.)

Mew: "Did you say something?!"

Misty: "We didn't say anything! You'd better keep swimming or we'll never get there!"

(Misty says.)

Mew: "Guess I'm hearing things,"

(Mew says, shrugging it off.)

(Mew then begins to swim again, and is not planning on giving up until she helps Jynx get back home.)

(Suddenly, the voice appears again.)

???: "You've got a long way to go."

Mew: "There's that voice again!"

(Mew says, surprised.)

(Mew gasps to see that a giant wave is heading right towards them.)

(It splashes at them, sending the group away and Mew under the water.)

(Mew swims as she looks around for the source of the voice.)

(The voice then says.)

???: "Come with me."

(Mew wonders in her thoughts.)

Mew [in mind]: "Who said that?"

(Suddenly, a figure begins to glow in front of Mew, much to her surprise.)

(Soon, the light fades to reveal a Lapras.)

Mew [in mind]: "A Lapras? Can you, talk to me in telepathy?"

(Mew asks in her thoughts.)

Lapras: "Yes,"

(Lapras says.)

(Lapras swims to Mew and carries her back to the surface and in front of the raft.)

Misty: "It's Mew!"

(Misty says, surprised.)

Brock: "But what kind of Pokemon is that?"

(Brock asks.)

(Tomo brings out Mew's Pokedex and Dexter says.)

Dexter: "Lapras, the Transport Pokemon. A Water and Ice Type. This intellectually advanced Pokemon is able to understand human speech. With its mild temperament, Lapras prefers to carry humans on its back, rather than engage in Pokemon battles."

Lapras: "I have been watching you for some time now,"

(Lapras says.)

(Soon, Misty and the others become surprised.)

Misty: "What was that?"

(Misty asks.)

Brock: "It's Lapras' telepathy,"

(Brock says.)

(Lapras swims up to them, and asks.)

Lapras: "Santa Claus asked me to search for one of his Jynx. It's been missing for quite a while. That search has brought me here, to you."

Mew: "How come you didn't just introduce yourself when you first saw us?"

(Mew asks.)

Lapras: "I needed to be sure that your intentions were good,"

(Lapras answers.)

(And Mew says.)

Mew: "We're just trying to help."

Lapras: "Yes, I know. You used all your strength to help bring Jynx back to Santa. That was very kind of you,"

(Lapras says.)

Mew: "Thank you,"

(Mew says, blushing a little.)

Lapras: "Now, to thank you for what you've done, I'll be glad to bring you to Santa's workshop,"

(Lapras asks.)

Mew: "You will?"

(Mew asks, happily.)

(Misty and Tomo cheer.)

Misty and Tomo: "Yay!"

(Pikachu and Eevee are also happy.)

(Jynx then hugs Brock and tries to kiss him again.)

(Meanwhile, Team Rocket is still following them from the submarine and Jessie has a one track mind.)

Jessie: "Come on, speed it up! They're getting away!"

(Jessie says.)

(With that, James and Meowth help pedal faster.)

(Up on the surface, Lapras pulls the raft carrying Mew and her friends.)

(They travel through harsh rain as Jynx helps shield them with it's hair.)

Lapras: "It will start getting colder soon,"

(Lapras advised.)

Brock: "Then it's best to get the snow gears on,"

(Brock says.)

(Sure enough, the temperature drops as the gang approaches the North Pole that has large icebergs and land.)

(Mew and her friends are now wearing snow gear while Pikachu and Eevee hide in Jynx's hair.)

Mew: "This place must be really cold for us to see icebergs,"

(Mew says.)

(Then Lapras says.)

Lapras: "Don't worry, we're almost there."

(Soon, Mew and the others see a special iceberg with a beautiful ice structure on it.)

Lapras: "See? That's where Santa lives,"

(Lapras says.)

(Everyone is amazed and full of wonder as they approach the iceberg.)

(Suddenly, Team Rocket's submarine forcefully surfaces, much to the friends' surprise.)

Mew: "Something's wrong!"

(Mew exclaims.)
