My first fanfic, yay! I've wanted to write this story for some time now since I was inspired by my own username (QueenPalkia). This new story contains characters from the anime, manga and game, but mostly pokemon themselves.
Initially, this story is rated T for strong language and mild violence. Be warned.
Like I said earlier this has characters from other all pokemon series so…
Pairings: Minor Poke, Contest, Ikari, OldRival, Special, Shootdown, Cheeky, Curtain, and MangaQuest.
Ok so, let's get the show started.
Chapter 1: Peirula
For the Throne and the Kingdom
In a land, far, far away into the dimensions, lied five great kingdoms. The biggest, however, expanded through forests, rivers, lakes, mountains and the mighty Mt. Sorrow which was the largest volcano in the world; this entire kingdom was ruled by a single queen who had lost her beloved king and refuses to re-marry a prince from the neighbor kingdom.
She ruled on her own with an iron fist. The queen was gentle and nice but strict.
Her kingdom was given the name Peirula, after the queen's ancestral scepter; Pearle.
Under her rule were four villages, and Patina Town, which was the location of the Space Castle.
Welcome to the World of Pokemon.
There was a huge wall surrounding Patina, the stone wall separated Patina from the other villages. Patina was a busy place; pokemon from everywhere came to commerce and participate in the coveted Peirula Festival, which was now taking place.
Pokemon gathered around in town square, very excited. In the centre, three pokemon sang flawlessly. "Flowers blossom on her pass…they like what she has…" Roselia sang. "The royal scepter and the crown, she refuses to hit the ground." Chimecho sang. "No matter who tries, they'll never take her crown. The Queen of Peirula surpasses all bounds…" Jigglypuff continued. "And here we are, covered in stone, our strengths have not yet been shown… Though our time will come in battle, the knights know their role." Roselia sang, continuing the cycle. "The bravery in their soul… Encouraged by the Queen in her throne." Chimecho sang. "We will prosper forever more. And the Space Castle stands as mighty as Mt. Sorrow! The heavens bless Peirula's majesty!" They all finished together, throwing confetti all around as the crowd applauded.
A Grovyle with a purple streak running up his leaves, wearing a small blue tunic over his torso, jumped down from the castle's smallest tower. He landed on the ground in front of the castle's wooden gates. He lifted up a golden cornet and sounded it though the town. The attention of everyone turned to the gecko.
"Everyone bow down! Our majesty offers her presence to the town." Grovyle bellowed and the gates opened wide. A red carpet rolled out, making a path. Grovyle knelt at the left of said carpet and kept his posture as the earth started to thump.
From the entrance, emerged two other servants; a Sneasel with red feathers instead of pink and silver eyes knelt to the right and a Chatot flew outside telling everyone to shut up and bow down.
The earth thumped even more, signaling something- or someone was approaching.
The entire town bowed before the emerging figure.
Red eyes shone first, and following was a huge white figure. The great dragon with pink lines had to big wings and a large tail. "All hail Queen Palkia!" Shouted Sneasel and the town repeated.
Palkia tapped her scepter on the ground three times and smiled. "Why, good morning Patina!" She waved happily. This kind of joy was usually when something good happened to her.
Everyone applauded. Grovyle rose to his feet and stood in front of the queen. "Your majesty, is there a reason for you to have called an assembly and show up personally?" Grovyle asked, bowing in all respect.
QueenPalkia smiled. "I need some fresh air. Can't be sealed inside that oven of a castle all day now, can we?" She said. "Oh, of course. Excuse my insolence, your highness."
"My town of Patina! We have been blessed with yet another day of life, and another chance to live our long awaited Peirula Festival!" She bellowed in happiness. The crowd cheered.
"Please enjoy!" She shouted and the crowd roared. "Let the parade begin!"
A bunch of floats started entering the town, each of every shape and size. The crowd spread out to watch the beautiful parade. The queen giggled and waddled away into her home, which made her servants sweatdropped.
"I say, since when are you so polite?" Sneasel teased Grovyle as they walked through the white hallways of the castle. "You even apologized, man, who are you and what have you done to my friend?" He said.
"Oh put a sock in it, Silver. We have to be on the queen's good side if we want to stay here." Grovyle retorted coolly and Sneasel, Silver, snickered. "Yeah, you're probably right. But, at least get out of that ridiculous dress." Silver said, holding down a laugh. "It's not a dress, it's a tunic! Besides, it's very fresh. I can barely feel the heat." Grovyle said in a goofy tone. "Ok, I am convinced. Aliens came during night and replaced your brain with a pile of crap." Silver said and Grovyle scowled.
Silver brought out a familiar black and blue jacket out. He lifted his paw up and offered it to his friend. "My jacket?! My jacket!" The grass pokemon snatched the cloth from Sneasel's paws and hugged it tight; rubbing it against his skin like it was a precious pet with little hearts floating up. Silver sweatdropped. "Thanks man! I owe you one! Where'd you find it?" He asked and Silver shrugged.
I found it this morning near the creak when I was taking a bath; I thought it looked familiar so I brought it back." He responded. Grovyle ripped the blue tunic off and threw the jacket on. He shrugged of the goofy attitude and walked casually and quietly through the hallway. "Now that is the Paul I know." Silver muttered.
"Yeah. Now let's go back to our rooms." Paul said, retreating to his room.
"Now May, we can't have you looking like that all day."
"Wear something…sparkling, colorful! But take that tunic off, for Pete's sake."
"The tunic is so fresh! I can't even feel the heat!" A Combusken responded to her partners, Chickorita and Buneary. She kept brushing her red tunic, which covered her feet.
"But you look ridiculous!" Bellowed Chickorita. The Chickorita had blue eyes and an orange streak running up her leaf that was barely visible.
"Oh Misty, so clueless. Why don't you try one on?" May responded to Misty, the Chickorita. Misty gave a heavy sigh. "I have your bandana right here. Won't you wear it?" Dawn, Buneary, said, holding up a red bandana.
"Oh well. Maybe you're right. But I will still wear this; I have nothing else." May said and grabbed her red bandana, putting it on.
May searched in her drawer and got out some scissors. "What are you going to do with those?" Dawn asked, though she didn't get an answer. Misty and Dawn watched curiously as May cut away the tunic until all that was left were two pieces. She picked up both and put them on. Surprisingly, the first piece served as a top and the other chopped half as a skirt.
"How does mamma look now?" May said smugly and posed. Dawn and Misty applauded for their friend. "You look great!" "Stylish!" "Great use of scissors!" "Tunicriffic!"
"Tunicriffic? Is that even a word?"
"It is in my world!" Dawn chirped.
May giggled.
Their room was painted a soft shade of pink, with a big window on the left side. The round window gave view to Patina Forest, which surrounded the city, also making it invisible to enemy troops.
There were four beds, three belonging to May, Misty and Dawn and the other belong to Maylene.
The four girls now served the queen, and though their job was easy the girls found being maids insulting and a loss of their talent.
It was all they could do though.
"Agh, my sweet Maylene…will you not dance for me again?" A smug Laties (a new specie I made up, there's a link at the end of the chapter for a picture) rested on a soft cushion, being papered by his maids. The Kirlia in front of him turned her back to him and 'humphed'. "But why, my dear? Have I said something wrong?" Laties said, still looking at Maylene. "No, Laties. Stop treating me like your slave. You've got other dancers; get them to model for you. I'm out of here." As Maylene started to walk away, Laties frowned and quickly got up, stopping Maylene with his paw.
"But I do not want my other dancers, who aren't nearly as pretty as you, to dance for me. Besides, the queen has made the order; you must obey me, my sweet Maylene." Laties said rather treatingly. He tightened his grip and Maylene yelped. He threw her down the mat and he sat back down on his comfy cushion.
"Laties! Lady says she doesn't want to dance, lady won't dance." A gruff voice said.
Maylene smiled in recognition of the voice. She got up from the mat and ran to the source. "Hn. How dare you disturb the general's entertainment?" Chatot said angrily, flying off from his little standing stick. The other pokemon closed his eyes and did not respond.
"You are right, Reggie. I must not force this beautiful maiden to do what she does not want to. You are free to go. I will be awaiting your return, my precious." Laties snickered, lying down and enjoying some berries.
Maylene felt like kicking this jackass. He used the "perfectly nice and polite' attitude on everyone but those stronger than him. Reggie looked down at Maylene and smiled.
Reggie was a Lucario; he had night black eyes and the tip of his tail was lilac colored.
Maylene was a Kirlia with pink horns instead of red and matching pink eyes.
Reggie walked off with Maylene following. "Thanks. I just can't stand that jerk, he thinks he can boss everyone around just because he leads the queen's troops." She said. "Yeah but he knows when to retreat." Reggie said, making Maylene raise an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"Haven't you noticed? He only let me take you away because he knows I can whoop him. The same happens when Latius (again, end of the chapter) comes to take away her friends to play." Reggie said. Latius was Laties' sister, who was a tad stronger.
Reggie swung open the door. He walked inside and saw the queen in her throne.
"Your highness!" Reggie called; he ran in front of her and knelt in the red carpet when she turned her attention to him.
"Reggie? Maylene? What are you doing here?" She asked. Maylene quickly vowed.
"I was told you were looking for me." Reggie said, getting up.
"It's about time you got here, bro." Paul, who stood beside the throne as the queen's bodyguard, said. He had his signature scowl plastered on his face like always.
Reggie ignored the annoyance. "Oh yes. Silly me, I must've forgotten. Reggie, I needed you to go find Lavender." Queen Palkia said worryingly.
"Princess Lavender? How come she's always running off?" Maylene asked, which only earned a glare from Chatot (who must've flown here pretty fast considering he was in Laties' room a few moments ago).
"My dear daughter feels…'imprisoned' in this castle, so she usually runs off outside the city walls. I'm afraid of her being in enemy territory." The queen stated. She sounded worried, and indeed she was. Despite having many daughters, she loved each one to no end but could not take care of them properly due to her duties as Peirula's ruler.
"Ah, I see. Your highness, where do you suggest I begin looking?" Reggie inquired.
"The princess normally sneaks off to Mist Creak, not too deep inside Patina Forest." Chatot squawked. "She loves Mist Creak, and most villagers claim to see her there all the time. Lavender shouldn't be hard to find." Sophia claimed.
"Alrighty then! I'll have the princess back before you know it!" Reggie laughed happily. Sophia smiled to his kind of energy and Paul mentally facepalmed while Maylene blushed. 'He's got the cutest laugh…Oh wait what am I thinking!?' Maylene mentally slapped herself for thinking like that about Reggie. They were just friends. (Or WERE they?!)
He smiled and left the main room.
A loud thunder noise was heard throughout the battle ground.
Two pokemon battled out all they had. The sizzling Thunderclap unleashed hit dead on into a Wartortle, who fell face-flat onto the ground. The latter sprung up though and began forming energy in its mouth. Unleashing Ice Beam, the Wartortle leaped into the air and spun, aiming directly at his opponent, Pikachu.
However, Pikachu evaded the attack. "Too slow!" Pikachu laughed and as his now electrified tail smashed against Wartortle's head, sending the water type onto the floor with that Spark Tail's power.
"Ugh, you've got me beat, Ashy-boy." Wartortle said as he got up and rubbed his head, giving up. "Gary, I've told you a thousand times to stop calling me Ashy-boy! Especially after I whooped your sorry ass!" Ash bellowed.
Gary got up and brushed the dirt off of him. "Meh. What'd ya wanna do now?" Gary inquired. "Beats me." Ash shrugged. Both boys sighed and collapsed on the ground. This small battlefield was located right beside the Space Palace/Castle.
Ash stayed on the ground in thought. Looking up at the sky…he wondered…would they ever return to their human selves? How were they turned into pokemon? Why? All he could remember was waking up one morning, only to find all of his friends collapsed on a beach. Then he was found by Sophia, the queen, who took pity for the lost and took them in.
He was dearly grateful for her hospitality; a few weeks had passed and they had learnt a lot about this world.
Paul and Silver seemed to have warmed up to the queen; they vowed to protect and serve her. But, why? Ash was still suspicious. Maylene and Blue were now belly dancers who performed for the troops and other important pokemon. Misty, Dawn and May were maids, much to their dislike. Red and Yellow, who were Arcanine and Vulpix, thanks to their fire powers, were assigned to make metal armor and weapons, and Gold…
Well…he…was Sophia's buffoon. So was Diamond…
Oh well…what can you do?
"Oh this is boring…" Sophia whined, burying her face in her pam. That bored expression on her face worried Chatot.
"Your highness! You cannot certainly be displeased!" He squawked.
"Well what could you expect? Just sitting around here all day isn't exciting." Paul said clearly agreeing with the queen. Silver, who stood on the left, nodded.
"See Chatot? Even Paul and Silver know this…"
"Stinks?" Silver finished and Sophia snapped her fingers. "Yeah, that's it! Why don't we go hang out in Patina? I just love the annual festival!" Sophia smiled and stood up from her throne. Chatot's eyes shot open wide, he squawked and begged the queen not to leave her position but Sophia was decided. "Stop being such a party pooper, Chatot! Come on guys, the festival is great."
"But your majesty, you must not leave this Palace! It is dangerous out there!" Chatot insisted, but the queen swung down her arm and in seconds Chatot was on the floor, seeing Torchics dance around his head. "Wow, impressive Dragon Rush attack." Silver stated, trying hard not to sound surprised. Paul nodded.
"Thanks. Now let's head out!" She happily said, as if nothing ever happened.
The three walked out into the outdoors, Paul and Silver never lowering their guard, but quickly amazed by the beautiful festival, they zoned out.
This was the charm of Peirula's Festival.
Chapter one finished! Well, I tried to introduce most of the characters, but at least you know where most of them are and work. I chose what pokemon everyone (you know, the ppl from the manga, games and anime) depending on their personality and their owned pokemon. (Example: Silver is a Sneasel cuz his most important pokemon is a Sneasel, and I just think Sneasel's so cute!)
