Poketales-Sleeping Beauty
Chapter 2-A Resolution For The Ages
Author Notes: Hey guys, Mako here and I don't own pokemon and the fairytales I used. Hope you enjoy
After the ending of the celebration and all the guests went home, the king, queen and butterfly pokemon stayed to discuss what to do at the matter at hand. Darkrai the evil pokemon has placed a fated death curse on the baby and heir Ralts…and sadly no one has ever been able to stop such a curse from happening.
There is hope though, thanks to Masquerains spell, even if the princess was to be struck by her demonic lightning instead of death she would go to sleep. Also, if she was to be kissed by her true love while under her sleeping state she would awaken from the spell.
Even so, the king and queen wanted precautions…they took no chances and loved their daughter too much to risk losing her. Only problem was what can they do. Finally Butterfree, the eldest and somewhat bossiest of the three butterfly pokemon spoke up breaking the silence.
"Well your Majesties, what would you want for us to do? You've ordered every pokemon who is in tuned with the weather and nature in general on watch…but we all know that Darkrai will never keep that from stopping that premonition from coming true." The King sighs in recognition, knowing that she was correct.
"You're right, but what can we do? So long as Darkrai is still alive, my daughter is at risk, and then there's her engagement to prince Torchic…"
"Hmph we should turn Darkrai into a Magicarp, then fry her, let her know how it feels to go and feel weak for a change."
"Now now Masquerain, that's not very nice dear, we will not be as bad as her even if she does deserve it."
"It'd be fair justice but very well, I don't understand what she has to gain from harming the princess though." She looks to the circle of friends around her, despite her temper, Masquerain generally is observant of what ones motives are.
"Personally I think it's more or so as to how she doesn't know any other way to act or treat pokemon, she doesn't know anything about being good, being caring or loving. However threatening a child is probably the lowest she's ever gone." Though Beautifly is fairly laidback, even she is angry and worried about the baby and the situation they're in.
Assisting the king and queen is considered a personal challenge to Darkrai and unfortunately even if all three pokemon were to combine their magic it wouldn't be enough to face and stop the wicked witch. The king and queen remain silent, praying for their child, hoping their three butterfly friends can come up with a solution…
Butterfree who has been thinking and wrapping her thoughts while listening to her counterparts hatches out a plan. She twists into the air in joy, happy with her own cleverness.
"I've got it, I know how to beat Darkrai. We'll be able to protect the princess, where she'll be raised accordingly and in a way that Darkrai would ever expect." All attention has been turned to Butterfree, everyone more than eager to hear what she has to say.
"Lady Gardevoir, and Lord Gallade, lets say I know these three pokemon who can bring Ralts into a hidden forest, where lays a little house. From there the three will raise the princess and also be a shield of magic and protection. On the evening of the child's sixteenth birthday, she will be returned to the palace, free and safe from Darkrai and her wicked curse."
"Oh Wonderful Butterfree!"
"It could work but who are these three pokemon you expect to protect and raise the baby?" Butterfree smiles slyly at her friends and swirls a pink mist around Beautifly and Masquerain, both have changed colors, Beautifly instead of black has shades of brown with her other rainbow colors. Masquerain who was white and pink is now green
(Maybe Beautifly and Masquerain should switch personalities and magic haha.) Butterfree when she finishes her spell, returns to solid ground, changing her color from a purple shade to pink.
"Ohhhhh it's us! Yay I'm so excited! We'll get to care for the baby." Both parents look at their newly colored friends in happiness and relief, knowing their daughter will be in safe hands. They'll be sad knowing that Ralts will be away from them for fifteen years, but for her safety it'll be worth it.
"It's a great idea Butterfree, Ralts will be in your hands…tonight when you three leave, you'll secretly be bringing our daughter with you"
"Please take good care of our baby, we will pray and await your return" A sad smile from the queen and it was done, in fifteen years their daughter will be reunited with them all grown up and will marry prince Torchic.
The three good pokemon prepare though they have magical powers, they have never taken care of a child before. And in order to prevent the princess from Darkrai's wicked curse and from finding out about her true heritage, the three of them(Butterfree) had decided not to show their true colors or magic.
So in the dead of night, Butterfree, Beautifly, and Masquerain, smuggle princess Ralts from the castle. At the highest balcony of the palace Gardevoir and Gallade watch as their friends take their daughter to the forest.
There Darkrai will never find them, but the unease of waiting so long for their baby to come home…it's a painful thing but the decision has been made. All they can do now is watch, wait and hope for the best…
To Be Continued…
