OK IM SORRY! 10/24/2019 I'm finally done adjusting items and Pokémon and adding TMs... I even redid the map and added a couple more areas, but I'm done! Final draft! I super duper promise it'll be smooth sailing from here on out. Enjoy the official draft!

9/19/19 ...I'm sorry. Last time. I've been reworking the geography, and I actually drew a (crappy) map. Wish I could upload images as chapters so you could all see, even if I have no artistic talent XD

Up ahead, you see bright lights and hear the echoes of loud brass music. You enter a bustling New Orleans and notice two men talking. The one facing you is young and handsome, while the other is tall and creepy with a black top hat and cane.

"I see green in your future," the creepy man says. They are suddenly enveloped by glowing green mist. When it clears, the young man is gone. In his place, is a frog.

It jumps. "Ugh! I'm slimy! A frog? Why did you turn me into a frog? I was supposed to be rich!"

"Don't blame me," the creepy man with the dark aura says, turning around and walking away. "Blame my friends on the other side." As he nears you, he seems surprised. "You look like the kid they told me about. How much did you see?"

Grunt Dr. Facilier sends out the Fighting/Poison frog, Croagunk. If you try to take it down with a Water move, its Dry Skin Ability will instead help it absorb the hit, healing the Pokémon instead of damaging it. You manage to take it down, and he calls forth the Ghost/Fairy disguise Pokémon, Mimikyu. Your first Attack doesn't inflict damage, just busts the disguise, then you can defeat whatever mysterious creature is lurking beneath.

Fear enters Facilier's eyes. "What devil magic do you posses? Face the wrath of the Mythical Gloomdweller!" The sky goes dark as he summons Marshadow. The Fighting/Ghost Pokémon is a fast Attacker, so your team will take some damage. Ultimately, you defeat Dr. Facilier. "No! We will get the Princesses. This isn't the last you've seen of me!" Grunt Dr. Facilier disappears in a puff of green mist, dropping the Toxic TM. You stand there, unsure of what just happened.

The frog hops over to you. "Oh, thank you! Please, would you help me? I am Prince Naveen of Maldonia." Obviously Dr. Facilier is bad news, so you say yes. "Thank you, my friend! The only thing that can break the spell is a kiss from a Princess."

If there's anything you've noticed about this region, it's that the Princesses are typically the Gym Leaders. It stands to reason the closest Princess would be at her Gym. So you pick up the poor frog Prince and explore the city. You can find the Thunder Wave TM, the Bulldoze TM, and an Antidote. You pass by a Pokémon Masseur, a clothing store, a crystal store, and Tiana's Place. Tiana's Place says it's a Gym and Restaurant, but when you go in, you're given only a Lemonade and a Lumiose Gallet.

"Sorry, the Leader is away at the moment," the Manager says.

An excited little girl outside of the Restaurant will tell you how she heard the Elite Four all have mythical Pokemon. She's not sure if she believes the friend who told her, but if challenging the League is your dream, she will give you the Silver Wind TM to help out.

Well, if the Gym Leader isn't in her Gym, she can't be too far. You follow Main Street all the way down to a bridged path leading to the Bayou. On the bridge, you run into a man that looks eerily like the Prince right before h was frog-ified. He seems nervous, saying he'll give you the Hidden Power TM if you promise now to say you never saw him. You answer, he shoves it into your hands, and he runs off. Weird.

You continue into the bayou, and Prince Naveen objects. "This does not look like a palace. No Princess would wallow in this swamp like an ogre," the frog says from your bag. You ignore his distaste and follow your gut through the bog. It's slow going, and you get stuck in the mud every so often.

You soon run into a woman with a kind face. "What are you doing out here, child?" she asks, sending out the Normal/Flying duck Farfetch'd. Its Inner Focus Ability prevents flinching. You take it down, and she replaces it with a yellow Fairy flower Floette. Seamstress Eudora accepts defeat with grace. "You're certainly capable. You can do anything you set your heart to."

Behind her, you see a TM stuck behind a tree. You Cut it down and you pick up the Protect TM. Keep walking, and you'll find a Big Mushroom.

You continue through the swamp until you find a large man who asks, "Have you seen my Lottie?" Big Daddy sends out the Fairy dog Granbull. Its Ability is Intimidate, which cuts your Attack. Despite the drop, you defeat it, and he summons the Fairy meringue Pokémon, Slurpuff. It knows Draining Kiss, Round, Cotton Spore and Fairy Wind. You of course win the battle and move on.

Past him is the Grass Knot TM. You pick it up, stepping around fallen logs and sinking into the mud. There is also a Full Heal behind a small tree.

With some patience, you get to the third Trainer. It's a short, old, blind woman. "How can I help you, my children?" She sends out the Ice/Psychic humanoid Pokémon Jynx, equipped with Lick, Confusion, Ice Punch and Body Slam. You faint it, and she calls out for her Ekans, who she nicknamed Juju. It also has Intimidate, but you defeat it and continue wading through the bayou. You can pick up the Venoshock TM and a Water Stone behind a small tree.

Finally, you find a blonde girl in a big pink poofy dress with a sparkling tiara. "Did you say Princess?" She sends out the Normal cat Skitty. Be careful if you make contact with a Pokémon of the opposite gender, or they'll be infatuated by its Cute Charm Ability, making them unable to attack it. When you knock it out, she calls out for the Fairy bird Aromatisse. Its high HP Stat is only helped by its move-set of Moonblast, Aromatherapy, Attract, and Draining Kiss. When you cause it to faint, Charlotte bursts into tears, her mascara running. "That's not fair! I'm still a Princess, right, Big Daddy?"

"Then kiss me!" the frog says from your bag.

Charlotte is startled. "Um, excuse me. What did you say?"

The frog leaps out of your bag and lands in front of Princess Charlotte. "I am Prince Naveen is Maldonia, and I've been cursed! I need the kiss of a Princess to break the evil spell."

"A Prince? Well, why didn't you start with that?" Charlotte picks him up and puckers her lips. They kiss, but nothing happens.

"She's not really a Princess, you know. She just wants to be one," a voice says. A dark beauty in a sparkling blue dress and tiara appears. "I love you, Lottie, but don't you go leading some poor fool on."

"So...are you the Gym Leader?" the frog Prince asks.

"Yes, actually. Only the most dedicated Trainers get this far through the Bayou."

"Then you are the one I must kiss!"

The woman smirks. "Only if you can defeat me in battle!" Princess Tiana begins with Farfetch'd, who has the Keen Eye Ability, preventing accuracy loss. After you faint it, she sends out Slurpuff. Its Sweet Veil Ability prevents it from falling asleep. You knock it out, and she replaces it with the Bug firefly Volbeat, named Ray. He knows Protect, Signal Beam, Confuse Ray and he just learned Zen Headbutt. You squish him, and she sends out the Ground/Dark desert croc, Krokorok, nicknamed Louis. Watch out for his Moxie Ability, which boosts his Attack if he knocks out one of your Pokémon. Don't let him get to you, and Tiana will be down to her last Pokémon, her Water frog Politoed. His move-set is Low Kick, Bubble Beam, Pound and Hypnosis. In the end, you claim the victory.

"Color me surprised. Very well." Tiana reaches behind her head and pulls out her green hair tie. Her hair settles in cark curls around her face. "Take this, it should keep distractions out of your way on your way to the League." She also hands over the Solarbeam TM.

"You kiss me now, yes?" Prince Naveen pipes up.

Tiana scrunches her face in disgust. "I suppose I did give my word, didn't I?" She picks him up and kisses his slimy green lips. They explode into sparkles. When it settles...there are two frogs!"

"What have you done?" frog Tiana shrieks.

A sinister laugh echoes around the bayou. "Thanks, Princey, for giving me the Princess."

"How could you?" Tiana cries as she is swallowed by glowing green smoke.

"I didn't know! I didn't know..." frog Naveen says, hanging his head. You turn to him. "What does he want with her? No idea... I'm sorry I brought you into this."

No time to waste! You travel back into the city to heal up, but through the bog, you're now sporadically attacked by Gloom, Ekans, Ground/Dark Sandile, Water Poliwhirl, Psychic Abra, the Water/Grass weed Lotad, and the firefly Bug Pokémon, Volbeat and Illumise. Just as you enter the city limits, you see your Rival talking with Dr. Facilier. The creepy man disappears in green mist, and your Rival sees you once it clears.

"Ha! You're no match for me now!" Their first Pokémon is the evolved form of Grubbin, the Electric/Bug Charjabug. You notice his Pokémon also have that dark aura Dr. Facilier and the rest of the Grunts had. It knows X-Scissor, Crunch, Spark, and Acrobatics. Next, Princess/Charming sends out Bergmite. Its Own Tempo Ability prevents it from being Confused. When the Ice tank goes down, out comes Ursaring, Teddiursa's evolution. In addition to his Slash and Feint Attack, Princess/Charming also taught him a couple TMs: Smack Down and Shadow Claw. You take down the giant bear, and they summon Ponyta. Its Flash Fire Ability boosts its Fire type moves when hit by one. Avoid that, and you'll emerge victorious!

"No! He said his power would help me win!" Your Rival vanishes in the same glowing green smoke. That can't be good. You heal up your team and restock your bag. You could go North to the next Kingdom, or you could go back to the Bayou and make sure you didn't miss any items. When you go back, there will be an extra shadowy area to the Southeast. There is an unsettling feeling in your stomach as you approach a particularly dark area. Your feet become stuck in the mud. You flail to escape, but it only loosens the goo beneath you. You fall through and land on hard ground.
