| '''Holiday Hi-Jynx''' (Japanese: '''ルージュラのクリスマス''' ''{{tt|Rougela's|Jynx's}} Christmas'') is a special episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 5, 1998, along with ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'', and in the United States on December 11, 1999. It was initially intended to be EP039, airing December 23, 1997, but was rescheduled following the [[EP038]] incident.

| ==Synopsis==
| |
| The episode opens on a cold, snowy night, with a castle on a cliff in the distance. It is [[Christmas]], and kids everywhere are waiting for their presents from [[Santa]]. All, including the resident of this castle, which is none other than... [[Jessie]]?! She pretends to be asleep, and the door to her room slowly opens. Santa has arrived! Before he can begin to lay down presents, however, he is trapped in a net, and unable to move. Jessie and {{MTR}} are enthusiastic about their capture, and cannot wait for the ''real'' Santa to come to be trapped, this test decoy having been [[James]] in a Santa suit.
| |
| | |
| This plot is the realization of Jessie's revenge against Santa for having stolen her favorite doll ten years earlier. She flashes back to the night she stopped believing in Santa, when she waited awake for him. But instead of a jolly old elf down the chimney, a {{p|Jynx}} appears and does nothing but take her doll, broken moments earlier by Jessie in her waiting enthusiasm. James and Meowth doubt Jessie's story, but Jessie is insistent that this occurred, and that Santa is a Jynx.
| |
| | |
| Meanwhile, in the southern part of the [[Kanto]] region, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are scouting out a Jynx which holds a single boot. Ash attempts to [[Caught Pokémon|capture]] it, however, it does not work. {{an|Brock}} deduces that it must have a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{an|Misty}}, seeing the inside of the boot, figures out that it belongs to Santa. 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 so as to find Santa's lair and exact her revenge.
| |
| | |
| Ash calls out his {{AP|Squirtle}}, and Misty calls out her {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}}, {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}, and {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}. All of the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} help pull their homemade raft toward the North Pole, except Psyduck, who cowers at the thought of having to swim. The Pokémon, however, quickly become tired, and so Ash volunteers to pull them the rest of the way. He, as well, becomes tired, and hears a voice. Confused, he asks his friends if they said anything, but they haven't. The voice speaks again, and Ash is caught in a wave, while the others drift away on the raft. Ash is plunged underwater, and finally the source of the voice reveals itself to him: a {{p|Lapras}}! The Lapras brings him above the water and reveals its telepathic powers, as well as the fact that it was sent by Santa to get Jynx back to the North Pole. It offers to bring them the rest of the way there, and they accept. Soon, they arrive, but before they can enter Santa's workshop, {{TRT}} in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Gyarados submarine]] nab Jynx and trap the twerps and Lapras under a net.
| |
| | |
| Team Rocket enter Santa's workshop, then proceed to steal all of the presents, holding Santa, as well as Ash and co., who have confronted them, hostage. Jessie gives her reason for doing this to Santa, and the Jynx which "stole" Jessie's toy is revealed to have it, having taken it to Santa so he could repair it, and not being able to give it back because Jessie had stopped believing. Despite this, Jessie still plans to steal all of the presents, and Team Rocket makes their getaway. Lapras freezes the submarine with its {{m|Ice Beam}}, but Ash, using {{AP|Charmander}}, accidentally unfreezes it by using {{m|Fire Spin}}. Team Rocket seems to have won, but Santa has all of his Jynx use {{m|Psywave}} to bring back the submarine, shake the presents out of it, and send Team Rocket "blasting off again".
| |
| | |
| Santa begins his yearly journey around the world, using a {{p|Ponyta}} as his steed, and flies away. Ash regrets not having told Santa what he wanted, but Lapras tells him that he already knows. Santa's Jynx then presents Ash, Misty, Brock, and {{AP|Pikachu}} with gifts.
| |
| | |
| Team Rocket lie in a bed together, having been defeated once more, but Jessie has hung a stocking in the hopes that she might get some presents. The other two believe it to be futile, but just then, a Jynx appears in their window. They stare in shock at it, and it uses {{m|Lovely Kiss}} to put them all to sleep. Santa wishes a Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

| ==Scheduling conflict==
| |
| After the hiatus caused by [[EP038]], the show moved from Tuesday to Thursday. The original schedule was as follows:
| |
| {{Rescheduled episodes}}
| |
| | |
| When episodes of the dub are aired in order, this episode and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'' are placed between ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', as this is the point at which the episodes aired raw. This causes confusion from viewers due to Ash using Charmander instead of Charizard and Misty still having her Starmie and Horsea. Canonically, these episodes go either directly before or directly after ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]''. Due to not airing when initially intended and being advertised as such by [[Kids' WB!]], it is considered by Bulbapedia to be a [[List of anime specials|special episode]].
| |
| | |
| ==Removal from rotation==
| |
| This episode was pulled from rotation shortly after it was aired due to the fact {{p|Jynx}} was accused of being a {{wp|racial stereotype}} of African-Americans by {{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}. It can still be obtained on VHS and in the Indigo League Volume 3 DVD Pack Set, and has been made available on [[Cartoon Network Video]]. However, even though Cartoon Network has the rights to rerun Pokémon episodes, this episode has not been aired on the network, likely due to Jynx's appearance. Moreover, despite appearing on Cartoon Network Video this episode was skipped on [[Pokémon.com]]'s ''Pokémon TV'' video service.
| |
| | |
| The English dub became available on Xfinity On-Demand in late March of 2012. No restrictions were placed on this episode in the {{pmin|United Kingdom}}, or any other countries airing the English dub. However, this episode is banned in {{pmin|South Korea}}.
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| * This is the only main series episode where the title card is read by Jessie in the dub. Jessie also reads the title card for ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', a side series episode. Ash read this episode's title card in the Japanese version.
| |
| * When an episode's preview is shown in the Japanese version, it usually ends with the words, ''"Everybody, get Pokémon!"'' In this episode's preview, however, Ash said, ''"Everybody, get a present!"'' This is likely due to the Christmas theme of this episode.
| |
| * On December 23, 2012, this episode aired on [[Pokémon Smash!]] and was edited to make all of the {{p|Jynx}}'s skin purple instead of black.
| |
| * Jessie's doll is called "Acha Ningyou" in the Japanese version, and is a parody of {{wp|Bruce Lee}}.
| |
| | |
| ===Errors===
| |
| * Multiple times throughout the episode, the inside of Jynx's mouth was mistakenly colored white, instead of the usual red-pink.
| |
| * During the group's battle with Team Rocket later in the episode, Ash's hat continuously changes between forwards and backwards.
| |
| * In the remastered version that aired on Pokémon Smash!, Jynx's forearm appears white instead of red when it stands next to the tied up Ash, Misty, Brock, and Santa Claus.
| |
| | |
| ===Dub edits===
| |
| * In the Japanese version, Santa wrote his name in katakana on the inside of his boot. The English dub replaces this with a photo of Santa surrounded by a snowflake border.
| |
| * Santa calls Jessie and Ash by name in the dub, but in the original, Santa refers to everyone as "children" instead.
| |
| * Santa's reason for not giving Jessie her doll back is different in both versions: in the English version, Santa tells Jessie that he couldn't return the doll because she stopped believing in Santa, which made him powerless to visit her. In the Japanese version, Santa says that he tried to return it, but Jessie had already moved away.
