Meanwhile, in the southern part of the Kanto region, Ash and his friends are scouting out a Jynx on a sunny beach, who is holding a single black boot. Ash attempts to capture it, however, it does not work, and the Jynx’s Lovely Kiss manages to defeat Pikachu. Brock deduces that it must have a Trainer. Misty is given the boot by the Jynx, and sees that it belongs to Santa, as an image is sewn to the inside. After Jynx telepathically tells its story to the group, they agree to help it get back to the North Pole to Santa. Jessie, on the other hand, sees Jynx as Santa attempting to con the twerps just as she had been 10 years ago, and plots to follow them to find Santa’s lair and exact her revenge.
