Poketales Story- Cinderella, Chapter One Special Delibird Delivery
(starring Vulpix/ Ninetales and Mightyena)
Author notes: This is going to be a series of stories based on pokemon and fairy tales, I got this idea from a movie that turned into a dream so I don't own pokemon or any of the fairy tales I'm using, this is just for my own amusement. Do realize I will be the narrator so don't be surprised if it doesn't go completely by the book, please review and comment.(Also this was made a few years back. Mako)
Once upon a time there lived one fair pokemon, and she was a Vulpix. Ever since she was young she lived with her wicked stepmother Houndoom, and two ugly stepsister Houndours. Her father Ninetales died of sickness not long after he married Houndoom, leaving Vulpix within her care. For years and years Vulpix worked as a servant for her stepfamily dreaming of the one day she could be free, and fall in love with one that loves her. One day after her daily chores were finished she heard a knock on the door…
"Hello? Who is it?" The shy girl pokemon asked.
"Why hello Miss. I'm Delibird." beamed the kind old messenger. " And I've come to deliver invitations for Prince Poochyena's ball. All the information will be in the invitations, I do hope you'll come." With rushing delight the excited Vulpix thanked the kind pokemon and ran to find her family.
"Ember, ROAR!" said the elder and slightly uglier hound our sister.
"OW! You meanie take this, Smog!" Eventually the Houndour sisters daily training turned into a petty squabble as always. Eventually their mother broke up the fight…
"STOP! That's enough!" growled Houndoom, she loves her Houndour children and wants them to have a luxurious and easy going life, however with such manners and weak attacks she knows no true and wealthy pokemon would ever fall for them. She scolds her girls. "Now now, you both need to do better or you'll never evolve and attract any wealthy poke nobles at this rate. You must show grace, beauty, and remain calm at all times." With a swift knock on the door Vulpix walks in with the letters in her mouth, enraged Houndoom turns toward her stepdaughter.
"Vulpix how Dare You! You know better than to interrupt your sisters training, are you just trying to anger me." The humble child of a pokemon bowed her head towards her stepmother, she never meant any disrespect, however to her mother she never seemed to do anything right.
"I apologize stepmother, but we just received mail from the royal Delibird, who has sent us-" before she could continue her sentence, both of her Houndour sisters clawed for the invitations on the floor.
"Give me I wanna read it!"
"No I wanna read it more!" While the sisters bicker once more, Houndoom snatches the invitations in the air and lays them on the ground to read. Vulpix who remains by the door listens in as well.
"To all eligible poke maidens, we ask that all come to our royal ball. It will take place within three days at the royal palace. There will be singing, food, refreshments, and battles. And there the Prince will choose his princess, we hope you can attend.
Sincerely the Royal Family…"
"Mother a Ball! We must go, oh we have to evolve by then." states the older sister.
"Oh and the prince will choose a bride Squee, ah he'll fall madly in love with me, and we'll get married."
"No he'll marry me!" The Houndours immediately continue their petty argument till a shy voice enters the room.
"Then that means I'm able to attend also!" All three heads turn to little Vulpix. Before she loses what courage she has she continues. "According to the royal invitation I am to go as well. So may I please go stepmother?" The two Houndour sisters retort to their little stepsisters comment,
"Oh yeah sure you can go if you want to clean that badly."
" Or maybe she's just dying to embarrass herself, she can't even evolve on her own." Both sisters start to laugh but stop after seeing their sisters' eyes. Her eyes glow with passion and determination, a look neither sister have ever seen before. With a smirk Houndoom walks up to her stepdaughter and pats her head.
"Now now girls, be nice to your sister, for she's correct that by royal decree she has a right to go to the ball. However sweetheart, you're not capable of it, you don't battle and you can't evolve without a stone, what hope do you have of being presentable for the ball?"
"Please stepmother, I can evolve, I'll be able to…I have enough money to where I can buy a stone, just please let me go too!" With a sigh Houndoom concedes…at least that's what her children think.
"Alright Vulpix you can go to the royal ball, but you have to have a fire stone that allows you to evolve and you have to get all your chores done by the time we're ready to leave." In extreme joy Vulpix jumps up and hugs her stepmother before sprinting out the door. The Houndour sisters stare in complete shock …at least before seeing their mother chuckle evilly.
"Don't worry girls…even if she does manage to get a stone…she'll never finish all of her chores. Mommy is going to take care of everything…"
To Be Continued…
