[Good morning, Johto! Guess what today is. It's Christmas morning! You know what that means-- you can open your presents and everything! The weather is great, the sun is shining, it's the perfect Christmas morning! It's just like in a movie, what everyone expects-- lights, decorations, presents, and so much more! It is the first Christmas in Johto and the Professor is loving it.

It's still pretty early right now-- seven o'clock to be exact, perhaps early to some, late to others. For the Professor, he has slept in a little today but not too much. He suspects that Luke or someone else wouldn't let him. If not Luke or his Pokegear going off, it'll be his Pokemon, all five of them. Who've known that even Pokemon can get excited on Christmas day? 

The Pokegear records placed on some stacked books-- not the ones he received as Christmas gifts, mind you -- on a chair. The Professor is drinking a nice hot cut of Belle Classic tea from the tea set from Miles, sitting at his table in his hotel room of Violet City. He has arrived back here just yesterday afternoon to be reunited with his friends and assistants. After winning his Plain Badge, it has been pretty easy to travel from Goldenrod to Violet. Makes the whole travel less tedious.

Anyway, in the background on the bed behind him lays all the Christmas gifts he has received. Miss Tenjoin's heating pack and manual for computer use, Mr. France's box of hat care supplies, Mr. Justice's book of puzzles, Miss Riddleton's Pokemon rubix cube, Remi's book of puzzles and clothes, Mr. Wright's books and tea set, Luke's stack of mystery novels, Kaito's Pokemon-themed riddle book, Hal's box of chocolates, and Merlin's wrapped chocolate. To say the less, the Professor is very happy about all the gifts. With each wrapping he has ripped off, his smile has grown.

He clears his throat before speaking.]       

I do hope that everyone is having a wonderful morning right now. As you may now, it is Christmas day. To be completely honest, I've never thought I will be spending Christmas here in Johto. I have not thought I will be staying here for that long for this actually.

[A small chuckle. When he has first arrived here in August, the last thing he has had on his mind has been spending the holidays in Johto.]

All the gifts I have received have arrived here safely to my room. I will like to greatly thank everyone for the wonderful gifts they have sent me. Each one has helped brighten my morning wonderfully, so thank you all. It seems as if I have gotten enough puzzles that will last me for about a month, haha.

[Seriously, he has like so many books he can read and puzzles to solve. However, considering how much he reads and solves puzzles in his spare time, he'll wizz right through them.]

I also do hope that everyone has gotten what they have wished for this Christmas. For those I have sent presents to, please enjoy them. I have tried my best to get something that will best suit everyone.

Along with those gifts should be a small bag of chocolates that are either milk, dark, or white. These are all made by Mr. France here in Johto. They are shaped to resemble hint coins, something that I've had back in London. Back at home, they have been used to gain hints in puzzles, but here, they are just treats to eat.

Walter has traveled all over Johto yesterday to deliver both gifts and bags of chocolates. Even if I do not know you as it is rather hard to meet everyone here in Johto, you should still have had received some hint coins. It is the least I can give and do with how much I have commissioned.

So, I wish everyone a good day and, of course--

[Suddenly, all of the Professor's Pokemon appears almost right on cue behind him; Claire the Ninetales, Walter the Noctowl, Grim the Dusclops, Klaus the Growlithe, and Alden the Abra smile as much as they can towards the camera. They all take a breath and in a loud voice, they say in general;]




(( OOC: tags will be very slow and might be done in two hours! Gonna be watching a movie with family and friends.
