Ch.4
The next morning, Misty woke up earlier than all the others.
The time was about 6:30 in the morning and she woke up already.
Duplica and Gisele were still enjoying their beauty sleep. Misty
heard Gisele whispered something about her father's Pokemon
Tech School or something when she was mumbling something in
her sleep. Gisele's Ditto was transformed into a pillow for Duplica
to use. Misty changed into her white uniform and prepared other
stuff as well. The prince REQUESTED her to go see him in the
meeting room. A request from Prince Ketchum was like a miracle
for Misty. She looked at herself and was satisfied, and head off to
the meeting room.
"Hey girlie!" Misty looked around and she saw Jessie at the
stairs. "What're you doing getting up so early, going upstairs? You
know the rules that you can't go up to the higher floors unless it's
part of your job," Misty felt numbed. How could she tell Jessie
about what happened? Jessie won't buy it for sure! She would've
accused her of trying to sneak into the higher levels for something
else. How could she explain to Jessie?
"Jessie stop!" Misty and Jessie looked around and saw Prince
Ketchum. Both of them quickly dropped to their knees and bowed,
while Prince Ketchum walked closer to them.
"I called this young servant here to meet me in the meeting
room. She has my permission to go up to the higher floors. So
Jessie if you would move to the side and make way for Misty?"
Misty noticed that gentle voice of the prince again. His voice
seemed so kind and gentle, nothing like how most of the royalties
speak. Jessie's face expression seemed to tell Misty that Prince
Ketchum was behaving extra gentle than usual, just as what Misty
thought.
"Your wish is my command," replied Jessie quickly as she
moved over to allow Misty to follow the prince walk away.
Misty followed Ash up the spiral staircase of the 1st class
section to the meeting room. She was getting a little uncomfortable
from the gaze of all the high class staring at a little servant
following the prince for some reason. She decided to keep some
distance.
"Come on! I won't eat you or send you to the jail for the rest
of your lives," Ash laughed lightly as Misty giggled too. But the
giggle was short live, and very soon things went back to how it
was before. At last they had finished the long walk from the lowest
class of the palace all the way up to the first class meeting room.
Misty looked at the Grass Hall again as they passed it, admiring its
beauty and the sweet scent of the place. After they reached the
room and the 2 sat back to where they sat last time. They sat on the
opposite sides and then Ash began to talk.
"Misty, you know about the visitor today,"
"Yes, master,"
"It's Princess Erika from the country of Celadon,"
"Yes, I've overheard Jessie mention something like that,
Prince Ketchum," Ash noticed that Misty wasn't talking very
easily, even more nervous or frighten then yesterday. There was
nothing he could think of to ease her down. Misty flicked her red
hair back behind her neck and decided to wait for the prince to talk
first.
With Ash's special ability to read through the eye, Ash didn't
force Misty and spoke first.
"Well I wanted you to serve Princess Erika during her full
week's visit," Misty was stunned by the prince's words. Wasn't it
a little "overly trusted" for Prince Ketchum to trust her enough for
such an important job? If the servants didn't do well then it would
leave a bad image for the visitors! If she screwed up everyone in
Pallet Kingdom would be angry at her.
"Thanks Prince Ketchum, but I… um… it's too important as
a job for me,"
"You're just being humble. I trust you enough,"
I trust you enough… I trust you enough… This sentence of
Ash's repeated over and over again in Misty's mind after she
accepted the job and was on her way alone back to the basement.
During the long walk of stairs she thought of nothing but about
that. I trust you enough. These 4 little words act as a big
encouragement for Misty… especially if they came from the
mouth of the prince.
Gisele finally woke at the time of 7. She could've sleep later
since that she got a day off because of what happened yesterday.
But she must hurry to the higher floors to see the injured Joe. She
was allowed not to wear the uniform of the servants, and how glad
Gisele was. She now could wear her old clothing again instead of
that white plain dress of the uniform. She wore her blue short skirt
and a white shirt made of white silk. Dressed back into the higher
class's clothes, Gisele was at first feeling weird, but was soon used
to it.
She saw that Misty and Duplica were already off to
somewhere since that the beds were all neat and tidy already. Then
she ran up the stairs to the palace's own hospital. The place was so
rich that they could afford their own hospital, and there was even a
very own Nurse Joy in the hospital, treating sick Pokemon and
people.
"Hi, where is Joe?" asked Gisele to Nurse Joy. Joy pointed at
one of the hallways and Gisele rushed towards there. She saw Joe
was still asleep in the hospital beds. Gisele slowly and quietly
opened the door and sneaked into the room. She sat near him and
placed her gentle hand on Joe's forehead. She quietly removed
them after feeling that it was still burning red hot.
"He's still not cure from that fever yet. It's nice of you to
visit him so early in the morning," said Nurse Joy as she entered
the room and checked his pulse rates. After Joy and Gisele exited
the room to allow Joe to rest.
"You're really friends with him?" asked Nurse Joy.
"No, not really,"
"Why did you visit then?"
"I sort of got him into this mess. If only I didn't attack Jessie
with my Cubone he might have been…" Before Gisele finished her
sentence Joy comforted her a little and then went off to other
patients. She then saw James and Meowth from the kitchen to visit
Joe. Meowth had a small bouquet of flowers in his hand. Gisele
walked with the 2 to Joe's room again and James put the flowers
into a vase in Joe's room.
"Well all of us are okay beside little Joe," said Meowth.
James was standing beside Meowth and watered the flowers.
"James! Those aren't real flowers and now you ruined it!"
screamed Meowth as he scratched all over James's face.
"Be quiet or else you'll wake Joe up!" Gisele said but too
late. Joe was already woken up.
"Oh hi, Gisele," he greeted. James and Meowth stopped
fighting and then just stood still. Joe could guess what happened by
looking at James's face that was covered with scratch marks.
James nervously laughed and Joe with Gisele sweatdropped.
"Thanks anyway, Gisele," said Joe. Gisele lightly laughed
and then Meowth and James suddenly left the room and locked it
from the outside.
"What's the big idea!" said Gisele as she banged the door to
allow herself out.
"Nothing. We just decided to let you 'lovebirds' talk by
yourself for a while. We'll be back after breakfast, hahahaha,"
Gisele continued to bang on the door but there was no
response. She sighed and then returned to the chair. This had a
good and bad side to it. Bad side was that she would be trap here
until Nurse Joy or James or Meowth came to unlock the door. The
good side was that maybe it won't be so bad. Getting locked in a
room with one you loved…
Misty was all set and ready. She lined up at the very end of
the long stairs outside the front door of the palace. She never
witnessed anything like this. All the important people of the palace
arrived. Prince Ketchum with Queen Delia were standing in the
front of the line, with Captain Brock right next to them. There were
3 other servants next to Misty, but those were the prince and the
queen's servants. She felt as if she was upgraded to a level just as
high as the prince and queen's servants. Even a servant who served
the prince and the queen were awarded the highest class out of the
2nd class level.
Then farer out in the main street, the visitors of Celadon
arrived. Misty could see them from where she was, except that she
couldn't see them very clearly. When they entered the main gate,
Misty could see them now. All the people were girls, including
servants, guards and office workers. There were about 8 or 10
people carrying a nicely decorated wagon. The wagon was covered
with beautiful plants and vines, painted green everywhere
including the roof of the wagon. There was a screen covering the
door to the inside of the wagon, and Princess Erika was probably
inside it.
The group stopped and a female guard in her green uniform
opened the screen. A short dark haired girl came out in a long
green delicate dress, with a crystal crown on her head, Princess
Erika. Princess Erika slowly walked off the wagon and forward to
greet Prince Ketchum and Queen Delia.
"Welcome to Pallet," greeted Prince Ketchum and Queen
Delia. Princess Erika lightly smiled and then they walked into the
palace. Misty followed the other servants and into the palace as
well.
Soon Queen Delia and Cap. Brock left. Ash brought Princess
Erika into her room.
"This is the room you'll be staying in," said Ash as Erika
explored the room. Seemed like she enjoyed the extra large walk-
in closet.
"Misty will be at your service during your stay, say hi
Misty," said Ash as he introduced Misty to Princess Erika. Misty
lightly bowed to Princess Erika and for the first time Misty had the
time to have a close look at her. Her blue eyes were of a dark color
unlike her own. There was a pleasant aroma around Princess Erika,
a pleasant smell just like what it smelled like in the Grass Hall, the
smell of flowers.
"Well Misty, take good care of Princess Erika," said Prince
Ketchum as he left the room to somewhere else. Misty stood to one
side as Erika sat in front of the mirror and looked at herself. Then
she took out a glass that contained some stuff and sprayed some
thing in her hands, and sniffed it out. Misty wondered that what
was she doing. Princess Erika seemed to be satisfied about those
things, but it was not her business to know what it was.
"Oh Misty?"
"Yes ma'am?"
"When do I go to the Grass Hall?"
"After lunch, ma'am,"
"Thanks," thanked Erika and she unpacked her stuff. She
requested to let her do the work and then she started packing her
large pile of clothing and even more of those spray thingies. When
it was lunchtime, Misty lead Princess Erika to the dining hall. The
prince and the queen were also there, and seemed like Misty was
doing a fine job for now.
"Misty?" asked Erika and Misty hurried to her side.
"Yes ma'am?"
"Can you fetch me my perfume?" Misty was totally confused
by the word "perfume". What's perfume? Should she ask Princess
Erika what's perfume, but should she?
Erika read Misty's confused expression and noticed.
"Those thing I spray on my hand earlier,"
Misty remembered those glass bottles Erika used, and then
she quickly went off to get them.
"Ash, you had some great servants," said Princess Erika as
she lightly giggled and continued to eat.
"I know. Misty shouldn't be a servant. Her talent could've
taken her much farer," replied Ash. Queen Delia stayed out of their
talk and continued to eat. Cap. Brock just coldly stood still behind
Prince Ketchum.
"She's obedient, has good manners, and also plenty of other
good features," said Erika as she finished eating and then went off
to wash her hands. Queen Delia also finished and then headed for
the washroom. Brock followed Queen Delia to guard her. Inside
the whole dinning hall Ash was alone.
"I know, that's why I think I'm in love…"
