A Pokemon Christmas Carol
Professor Thistle is a miserly old man who hates laziness, the poor, and especially Christmas. And he is not one to give away any of his collection of Pokemon. But then he receives a message from his old partner, Professor Evergreen, and a warning that he would be visited by three Pokemon and that, hopefully, he could learn to change his ways. So, join Mortimer Thistle as he ventures into his past, visits those in his present, and takes a look at the future that awaits him in this Pokemon twist to the classic Christmas Story and find out if this Professor can be changed or if he is even more stubborn than old Ebenezer Scrooge.
