Turkey Day at the Ketchum Residence


Mrs. Ketchum was getting ready for the big Thanksgiving feast. Now Mrs. Ketchum 
knew Misty, Brock, Max, May, and Tracy were coming but just last night Ash said 
Team Rocket was coming as well. Mrs. Ketchum smiled as she baked a pumpkin pie. 
"Morning mom" Ash said. "Morning sweetie" Mrs. Ketchum said. Meanwhile Misty was 
calling her sisters to ask if there would be a Thanksgiving feast at home. Misty 
looked down because the answer was no but then she remembered Ash had invited 
her over for, what he called Turkey Day, feast at his house. Ash quickly helped 
his mom with the feast. "Mom is he coming?" Ash quietly asked. "No, he's busy as 
always" she replied. Ash looked down because his dad never came to the house for 
Thanksgiving. "Pika Pika" Pikachu said. Ash smiled at his buddy the only one who 
could cheer him up. Pikachu ran outside as fast as he could to play with Ash. 

As soon as Ash came back in his mother called him to her. " So is Gary coming?" 
she asked. "No, mom you know he's my rival and he's having Turkey Day at his 
house" Ash replied. Mrs. Ketchum smiled knowingly at Ash. Soon the guests began 
arriving at Ash's house. Misty was the first one there. "Hi Ash" Misty said. 
"Hi" he said. Next came May who brought Max. "Hi Ash" May said. "Hi" he said. 
"Hi Ash" Max said. "Hey Max" he said. Next came Brock with a downcast look on 
his face. "Hey Brock you ok?" Ash asked. "Hey Ash. No, I'm sad my…lets just 
forget about it" he replied. Soon Tracy was there too. "Hey Ash" Tracy said. 
"Hi" he said. "Is everyone here?" Mrs. Ketchum asked. "No, mom Team Rocket isn't 
here" Ash replied. "Prepare for Thanksgiving feast trouble" Meowth said. "No! I 
don't want to hear the motto" Ash said. "Uh…cool" James said. "Hey! I came here 
and you guys forget about me!" Jessie yelled.

"Now around our house we always say what we're thankful for" Mrs. Ketchum said. 
"Well I'm thankful for my pal Pikachu and of course my loving mom" Ash said. 
"I'm thankful for my sisters, a place to eat a feast on Thanksgiving, and my 
Pokemon" Misty said. "I'm thankful for lots of girls, my friends, and my 
Pokemon" Brock said. "I'm thankful for my brother, our parents, my Pokemon 
contest ribbon, and my Pokemon" May said. "I'm thankful for a chance to travel 
with Ash, my sis, our parents, and this great meal" Max said. "Um…I'm thankful 
for my parents, um…Jessie, my Pokemon, and this moment" James said. "I'm 
thankful for this feast, my beauty, um…James, and my Pokemon" Jessie said. "I'm 
thankful for getting to come here on friendly terms, all this grub, Jessie, 
James, and um…well my life" Meowth said. "Well that ends that lets move on to 
the next thing reading a poem for a friend then we'll eat" Mrs. Ketchum said.

"My poem is for Misty. Oh beauty so fair. My heart is on air. Why must we keep 
this secret forever? Why can't we live together forever?"Ash recited. "Ok my 
poem is for Ash. Silly boy sitting and playing with your toy. You want to be a 
master but your chance is going faster. Live never on a dream. For I have a 
scheme" Misty recited. "My poem is for May. You're cute. You're nice. You're 
sugar and spice" Brock recited. "Mine is for Max. I love you. I know you do too" 
May recited. "This one's for Brock. See that girl? She's got no guy and you 
caught her eye" Max recited. "Mine is for Jess. Oh what a lovely dress you wear. 
Oh I love your hair" James recited. Mine is for James. Silly, wacky boy and his 
toy can just do for me and you" Jessie recited. "Mine is for Pikachu. Oh yellow 
it is mellow" Meowth recited. So then the feast began and everyone ate a lot of 
food and went home for the night. "That was great wasn't mom?" Ash asked. "Yes 
it was great now off to bed" she replied. So Ash went off to bed with his pal 
Pikachu. "What a great day huh Pikachu?"Ash asked. "Pika! Pika!" Pikachu said. 
Then the both drifted to sleep thinking about Christmas, which was soon to come.
