As Jesse fakes a snooze on a bed, a strange figure approaches her.

She �wakes� up, but luckily, the man is caught in a trap. No, this not another �James Bond� movie, this is the latest trap to capture the Jynx more commonly known as Santa Claus. From inside the trap, it seems that James was the one in the strange disguise, which was a Santa Suit. See, this whole thing started when Jesse was a girl, (cue flashback) as she would sit waiting for Father Christmas every year. One year, she was fed up with the whole idea of Santa and her own tradition of waiting up for him that she threw her doll against a wall, breaking it. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a Jynx appeared that night and fixed her doll. Her story of her mixed-up childhood ends with a solid conclusion that Santa is a Jynx. Yeah, that kind of Jynx.

The next day, walking down a beach shoreline, (frozen, of course) and they happen to cross a Jynx! (Gee, what a surprise�) After a brief analysis of Dexter, Ash seems ready to capure it. He sends out Pikachu for a Thundershock, but Jynx just lets the attack hit her and then uses a Kiss attack. Pikachu falls asleep. Ash uses Charmander next. Charmander uses a Flamethrower attack, which burns her. Then Ash throws a Pokéball at her, and just when the ball is released, her boot, which she was wearing, rises like magic and deflects it. Misty says the boot must belong to the owner of the Jynx, after they realize it�s already captured. Jnyx gives Misty the boot which has a picture of Santa on the inside it, and from this, Brock guesses it�s Kris Kringle�s. So, let�s review this, Jynx is owned, boot belongs to someone, it has Santa�s picture, hmmm, this means something� you know, this would so much easier to say that�s obvious. Jynx walks over to Brock and fails to get a kiss on him. After �Operation: Kiss Brock� fails, her hair glows and strands of hair reach Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Brock, and Charmander.

They start to get a psychic vision via Jynx�s hair. They find out she got lost when she was polishing Santa�s boot in the North Pole and fell on a runaway glacier= and ended up at the beach they�re all at. After they all get the picture, Ash tells Jynx they�ll get her to the North Pole, and then Jynx tries to kiss him. God, she really has a lust problem.

On top of a hill, Team Rocket is eavesdropping on them. James says Ash and Co. are going to the North Pole, so they should follow them to get the presents. And you thought they only stole Pokémon.

Ash and Co., along with Jynx, get a raft out and use their water Pokémon (Why doesn�t Misty ever use Horsea? She didn�t use it to pull the raft.), and after a while, they get tired. They are returned, and Ash takes off his jacket to dive in the pull the raft. (If I remember correctly, he took everything off except for his boxer shorts. Why he would do this in preperation to swim in ice-cold water is anyone�s guess. Maybe he�s Inuit.) He pulls the raft, but then he becomes tired. Hearing a voice in his head, he just forgets about it. (Kids, if you hear a voice in your head, rush to a mental clinic. Quickly.) He hears it again, and he then sees a strange figure before him. Turns out it�s a Lapras! Misty grabs Ash�s Pokédex and scans it. Dexter says Lapras is an intelligent Pokémon who transports people on its back. Lapras decides to pull the raft.

Lapras pulls the raft through a bunch of icebergs, avoiding a second Titanic catastrophy somehow. Lapras ends her maiden voyage in a clump of icebergs, saying that�s where Santa lives. The second they are ready to stop on shore, the Gyarados sub appears. Team Rocket mottos and demands they hand over Santa Claus (they don�t get the fact Santa isn�t a Jynx). Ash and his friends laugh at them for thinking this, and Meowth fires a missile into the air. As Ash, Misty, and Brock look up at the missile, Jessie and James steal Jynx and take her aboard the sub. The missile explodes, and a net covers Lapras and Ash and Co. Jessie and James set off in the direction of Santa's lair.

When Team Rocket get to the North Pole, they see the real Santa Claus and his all his Jynx, and Jesse figures out through her thick skull that they haven�t kidnapped Santa, but just a garden-variety Jynx. They go inside and hear him complain about how his toes will get cold if he can't find his boot. Jessie is about to hand the boot to him when Ash and his friends dash in an attempt to warn him. It's too late, though, as James and Meowth have already tied him up. Meowth tells the Jynx to start loading up the sub, and it does.

Santa pleads with Jessie to stop, and that he�s making up for Jesse�s non-presence of, well, presents. Man, Santa sure is cheap. When Santa doesn�t get why Jesse�s attacking him, she tells him about how the Jynx stole the doll from her. The Jynx comes up from behind and absorbs the memory from Jessie's head. Darn corporate loopholes. She waddles off and comes back a second later with the doll in her hands. Jessie asks Santa why he's had it all these years, and he tells her that Jynx had taken the doll to fix it in the sleigh. They tried to go back to give it to her, but she didn't believe in him anymore. Jessie starts to sob as she holds her doll close and Santa asks her to untie them. Jessie just laughs and she and James and Meowth go back into their sub.

As they pilot the sub away, Lapras comes to save the day. She tells them that they can't steal Christmas, and freezes the sub. Ash sends Charmander out, and he burns the ropes off of Ash and his friends. Charmander then uses his Fire Spin on the sub, which catches on fire. Jessie sends out Weezing, who Sludges Charmander, making him useless in battle. The sub cools down and sinks into the water once more. They don't make it very far, as all the Jynx combine their Psywave attacks and raise the sub into the air. They float it over, flip it, and shake out all the bags of gifts. They then explode the sub, casting Team Rocket into the air.

Later that night, Santa asks Lapras to take Ash and his friends back to where they came from. He then sets off in his sleigh (pulled by a Rapidash). Ash realizes that he forgot to tell Santa what he wanted, but Jynx comes up to them and gives them all a present. Back at the house from the beginning of the show, Team Rocket all lay awake in bed. Jessie tells them that they can at least hope for Santa to show up. They hear sleigh bells, and Jynx appears in the window. She blows them a kiss and they all fall asleep.
