PROLOGUE

April. Spring.

O, what a wonderful time of the year!

The air was rich filled with an irresistable pleasant seasonal aroma scent.

All around the Kingdom of Kalos the Oran, Pecha, Leppa, Chesto and Sitrus flowers were in heavy blossom. The City of Luminosce was as beautiful as ever, especially with the freshly constructed Royal Prismic Tower, built by the order of the reigning Queen, Her Majesty Delia Hanako Red the Sweethearted from the ruling Ketchum dynasty, the bloodline of which dates back to the ancient times of the kings of Pokelantis.

The Tower was built as evidence of the power and might of the Ketchum bloodline and it is meant to symbolise the unfading glory of the magnificent Royal Family. It also serves as the Royal Capital Residence for the young Kalos Prince, His Magnificence Ashura Satoshi Red Ketchum, who is at the moment the most likely (and actually the only) candidate for the throne, because Her Majesty Delia is planning to retire in this year due to her son finally reaching the age of being ready to take the responsibility of becoming the King of Kalos. At the moment Her Majesty also was living at the Prismic Tower. The Ketchum Bloodline has always been known for their knowledge of the Secrets of Aura, a mystic and mysterious power that all members of the Royal Bloodline of Ketchum possess.

In literally two weeks His Magnificence Ashura was turning 17 years old, which means that it was the time for him to choose a bride, according to Kalos Royal tradition. As such, Her Majesty Delia has planned to arrange a festival, where all the nobility of the Pokemon World from all the known regions were invited -

The Prosperous Kingdom of Kanto, The Mighty Kingom of Johto, The Tropical Kingdom of Hoenn, The Holy Sinnoh Empire, The Powerul Kingdom of Unova and of course the Everlasting Kalos Kingdom.

The festival is planned to consist of three phases: The Royal Pokemon Battle Games, The Royal Dances and The Royal Feast, during which the heir to the Kalos throne Ashura Satoshi Red of the Ketchum Dynasty must announce his choice of his bride. The festival is planned to continue for three weeks. Slowly, but surely the preparations have been dealt with and so the start of the festival has eventually approached Luminosce City. It is at this international festival that His Magnificence Ashura is to choose a worthy dignified bride who will share the Kalos throne with him. Also another purpose of the festival is to strengthen nobility bonds with nations overseas as well as to demonstrate the power and prosperity of the Kalos Kingdom.

AT PRISMIC TOWER

"Ashura-kun, my dear son! Have you changed your lingerie yet?", - asked Delia.

"My dear mom-sama, I beg you to refrain from asking such embarrassing questions! ", - answered her son Ashura with a face redder than a Vulpix in the mating season. "The festival starts tomorrow, so please let me properly prepare for it", - said Ashura the Prince.

"I know, that's why I'm asking even about the intimate details, I mean, who knows what kind of situation you will get yourself in, especially considering how many young ladies seem to infatuate into you at first sight-" , - is what Delia the Queen replied-

"Yes-yes-yes, now please escape from my chambers and let me properly dress myself, will that be okay?" - the Prince answered in a very embarrassed fashion. Her Majesty Delia gave her son a smug motherly smirk and reluctantly left for the Royal Hall to complete the approaching festival arrrangements.

"Dear mother-san can be so inconsiderate sometimes, but she is still the best mom-chan in the Pokemon World.", - said Ashura out loud while he finished putting on a disguise costume so that he would not be recognized in Luminosce. The only real difference was that he wore fake round blackglasses with a fake mustache - somehow, it worked. Otherwise his clothes were his usual royal clothes (imagine Ash's costume from the dancing episode in Pokemon XY anime).

"PikA!"(Yeah!) - replied Ashura's trusty friend, Pikachu the Royal Squire. (As a member of the Aura-Wielding Ketchum Royal Bloodline, Ashura can understand the speech of all Pokemon.)

"Ninja-GrenInja?"(What are you going to do today?) - asked Greninja the Royal Butler. Greninja and Pikachu were Ashura's most reliable Pokemon who he had since childhood, when the Royal Professor Augustineton Sycamoreson presented Ashura his new Pokemon friends who have always supported him ever since.

"Today? Well, perhaps I'll take a walk in Luminosce, undercover of course, and buy some fancy clothes for the festival, and... erm... I don't know, I'll just see what's going on around, I suppose," said the Prince.

"Pika-cHu! Gre-ninjA!"(Let's go!)

And so the Royal Trio went off for shopping...

AT THE OUTSKIRTS OF LUMINOSCE CITY

"Please, people, even a little amount will greatly help us! Fenne-Fenne! Sylveon!" - a poor 16 year old blonde girl by the name of Serena Yvonnesen dressed in torn filthy rags was begging for alms in the street with a couple of dirty, but cute and sincere Pokemon - a Fennekin and a Sylveon, however today seemed to be an unlucky day for them because they had only managed to gather 3 Pokecoins. Next to her her mother Grace Yvonnesen was sitting also in filthy rags but she was so exhausted from begging for alms that she fell asleep, so Serena comfortably moved her mother far into the corner, so people couldn't see her, and then she covered her with an old withered worn-out carpet that the four of them used as a blanket and hugged her with love and care.

"Oh, mother-san, what have we done to deserve this fate? (sniff-sniff) waaaaahhaaaahaa"- Serena could not control herself any longer and broke into a cry that transcended from the depths of her soul. Her Pokemon gathered around Serena and started comforting her.

"Well,(sniff-sniff), at least we have each other, and that's what truly matters,"- said Serena, being comforted by her Pokemon.

"Hello beautiful young lady-san, is there any way I can help you?"- someone asked.

Serena raised her eyes to see who was asking her, and she saw...

To Be Continued

hi there people i know Ash is kind of Out Of Character in this story but on the other hand he was raised as a royal prince so you would think that he would probably act differently. As for the marriage stuff - this is the medieval times so its natural that the age of marriage is about 16-17. I also didn't want to make Ash and Serena adults because they would probably have different personalities from what they have in the show and its not fun to write about adults. Realistically Ash should have been 16 in XY(Z) because Kalos was his sixth region, he looked like a teenager, and there was a lot of teenage romantic stuff in the Kalos seasons. So that's that. I'm planning to introduce "medieval versions" of most of Ash's companions and rivals.

I would really appreciate any reviews, suggestions and ideas for the story so feel free to express your opinion - it would really help me with ideas on how to write this story because i'm not sure if i went too far with the whole ''reimagining'' concept. Anyways, keep tuned for updates :)
