(Opening song)

A day had passed since the group of friends exited Sandgem Town. The group of friends headed toward Jubilife City, which was very close to Sandgem. During one day, Ash still had his outbursts of rage, sometimes knocking down a tree for no reason. When his friends asked him what was going on, he just told them that he just wanted to. He didn't want them to worry, but he tried to keep his distance from them sometimes. His friends just ignored it, but May was the only person who knew something was wrong with the boy, but every-time she asked him, he just told her not to worry. The kids have now entered Jubilife, and the girls were already excited at what they saw. The girls headed towards a Pokemon Contest, and they had a fun time there. When it ended, they headed out, but while they did, they were having ice cream.

"You're lucky you won this round, May," said Dawn, "Next time we play rock-paper-scissors for ice cream, you can bet your ass I'm gonna win."

"Say what you want, Dawn, but no matter how many times you try, you'll never beat me in that game," said May as she took another lick. Dawn's eye twitched. Before she could counter May, someone walked by with a camera in his hand.

"Can I get a picture of you two together?" asked the man.

"Why?" asked Dawn, already creeped out by the man.

"It's hard trying to take a picture of two of Ransei's Princesses, so this might be my only chance," said the man.

"Alright," said May, and she took ahold of Dawn, and the man took a quick picture. After seeing it, the man gave a thumbs up, and ran off with a smile.

"That was creepy," said Dawn, "Taking a pic of two girls like that. He'll just be masturbating with that pic for months. And what did he mean by Princesses?" May placed a finger on her chin.

"Now that I think about it, we're in Jubilife City," said May, and then it clicked in her head, "We're in Jubilife! Come on, Dawn. We gotta meet up with somebody," said May. Dawn wanted to ask who, but May already took her head and ran off.

Salvia the Princess

Later on, after meeting up with the boys, and after a quick explanation from May, the group headed towards the edge of the city, where a castle was hidden.

"Another Princess?" asked Brendan, "Why can't there be a Prince?"

"Is she hot?" asked Drew.

"Of course," said May, "She's like Dawn." Taking that as a compliment, Dawn started to blush.

"Aw, you didn't have to say that," said Dawn, but May had already went ahead of them. They caught up with her, and they headed for the castle entrance, where two guards stood.

"Hello," said May.

"Oh hello there, Princess," said the guard, "We haven't seen you in this castle for months. Where have you been? Your mother told me that you went on a journey."

"I know," said May, "I'm here to visit Salvia. Is she home?"

"Of course," said the guard, and he bowed at the other guard by him. That guard walked in. After a few minutes, that guard came back.

"She just woke up," said the guard.

"But it's 3," mumbled Brendan.

"Can I see her while she's sleeping?" asked May.

"I don't think she'd like that," said the guard as he sweat-dropped, "But she would like for you to come inside. We'll lead the way."

"No need," said May as she already ran in. The others followed. The guards just looked at each other and shrugged. They were expecting a scream in minutes.

Ash, May, and Drew got lost. May hadn't been in the castle in months, resulting her to get lost in the castle. They were so lost that Dawn and Brendan got separated from them.

"Why are you so excited to see this one?" asked Ash, "You never act excited to the others."

"I have a reason," was May's only response. She made it to a door, and after staring at it for a few minutes, she smiled and opened it. The boys looked inside and saw a girl sleeping on her bed. It was a girl with an all too familiar face in blue pajamas. She was snoring, and lying on the bed in a strange way.

"Is that Dawn?" asked Drew.

"We leave her for a couple of minutes, and she already wants to sleep in that bed," said Ash.

"That's not Dawn," said May, and she went toward the bed and kneeled by it. She slowly shook the girl. The girl blinked a few times and looked at May. She then shut her eyes and looked away.

"Come on Salvia," said May as she jumped on top of the girl, "It's not good for a Princess to be a lazy ass." She continued shaking the girl. The girl groaned, and then opened her eyes to look at May, and then she knocked May off her bed. She then sat up and rubbed her eyes. She looked at Ash and Drew, who were still at the doorway. Her eyes opened wide, and she shrieked and hid under her blankets. May got off the floor and kneeled by Salvia.

"Nice going guys," said May.

"We didn't do..." said Drew, but Ash covered his mouth and shook his head. It was no use explaining. Salvia peeked out of the blankets and looked at May.

"M-May," she stuttered in a cute British accent, "Why are there boys at by doorway? No boys are allowed in my room without permission." May didn't respond. She just stared at the girl blankly. Salvia noticed she wasn't responding, and lightly tapped the girl on her cheek.

"What's wrong?" asked Salvia. She kept tapping May on her cheek. After a few minutes, May smiled and her eyes started to sparkle. This scared Salvia, and she hid under her blankets again, but May started to pull the blankets off the girl.

"What's wrong?" asked May, "Come on. Say hi to me in that adorable voice of yours."

"No," said Salvia.

"Awww," said May. Pikachu and Drew sweat-dropped. They never see May like this unless they meet a cute small Pokemon or a baby. They just watched, not wanting to interrupt their moment. After a while, May successfully took off Salvia's blanket, and started hugging the girl. Salvia started blushing. May rubbed their cheeks against each other.

"May, you're embarrassing me," said Salvia, "There are boys here."

"You're so cute when you're embarrassed," said May. Salvia then took May and pushed her into the blankets, and in some swift, ninja way, she tied the girl inside, trapping her. She struggled to get out, but it was no use. Salvia sighed, and then she noticed the boys.

"And who are you people?" asked Salvia.

"Um, I'm Drew, and this here is Ash and his Pikachu," said Drew, "We're friends of May. She invited us in here."

"I see," said Salvia with a smile, less tense this time, "I heard she was traveling. I guess anyone who's a friend of May would be kind." She looked towards Ash.

"I recognize you," said Salvia, "May sends me tons of pictures of you, especially without a shirt." Ash's eye twitched.

"I'm Salvia," said Salvia, "Princess of this section of the Ransei region. As you can see, the Princess and I are acquainted. We've known each other since we were very young. She visits me all the time, about four to five times a month. It is very nice to meet you people." Ash and Drew just stared at Salvia. Salvia blushed.

"Is something the matter?" asked Salvia.

"Are you sure you're not Dawn?" asked Drew, "I've been the victim of pranks for years, so I gotta make sure."

"Dawn?" asked Salvia, "Who is this Dawn?"

"She's a friend of ours," said Drew, "She looks like you, I guess."

"That's amazing," said Salvia, "I've always wanted to have a doppelgänger. Maybe I could..." Suddenly, May broke out of the blankets and jumped towards Salvia and hugged her from behind, shocking her.

"That accent of yours is so damn cute," said May, "You could definitely change me into a lesbo in seconds with that accent." Salvia blushed furiously now. Ash looked at Drew, and saw the boy drooling and staring at them both. Ash growled at him and pointed his finger outside the door, making Drew leave. May then suddenly bit the girl on her ear, making her scream.

When Salvia screamed the guards outside heard and looked towards the castle. They chuckled, and one of them faced the other and extended his hand. The other one sighed and placed twenty bucks in his hand.

Dawn and Brendan looked through the castle together, looking for May and Ash since they got separated from the others. Brendan asked around to find the princess's room while Dawn looked around at the intricate stone walls. Soon, they found a room filled with clothes.

"Wrong room," said Brendan as he proceeded to close the door, but Dawn already ran in and was looking around. Her eyes were sparkling.

"Dawn, I don't think it would be a good idea to look into someone else's room without permission," said Brendan.

"Don't worry," said Dawn, "I'll be in here just for a few minutes." She continued touching and looking at the clothing. Brendan just waited patiently towards the side. She pushed clothes away from each other, and she found a girl in there. They both screamed, and the girl got out from inside the clothes and unto the floor.

"What did you do?" asked Brendan, and he looked to see the two staring at each other. It was Salvia. They both stood and started to move around like it was a mirror, and they were both in perfect sync. They touched hands, and then moved away from each other.

"Who's this?" asked Brendan.

"I have no idea," whispered Dawn, "But I feel like I did some sort of magic that could result in the separation of the earth."

"Are you Dawn by any chance?" asked Salvia with a smile. Dawn blinked a few times, and then slowly nodded.

"Arceus does amazing things, doesn't he?" asked Salvia, "I'm Salvia, the Princess of this castle. I just heard about you from May and her friends. I never thought I'd meet you so early in my life. I've always wanted a doppelgänger." Dawn blinked once again, and then she realized what was happening. She smiled.

"Oh my Arcues," said Dawn as her eyes widened and she looked at Brendan, "Brendan, Brendan, Brendan, my doppelgänger is a Princess. A Princess. How come May never told me this before?"

"I find it amazing as well," said Salvia, "It's nice to meet you too" She extended her hand to make Dawn shake it. Dawn smiled and shook it.

"Wait a minute," said Brendan, "Why were you hiding in there?" Salvia blushed and scratched her cheek nervously.

"I was hiding from May," said Salvia, "You see, she gets very hyper when she meets me. I don't understand why though. She always compliments me on my accent, so I'm guessing it involves that. Since you're here, maybe we can get to know each other better. Come. I'll take you to get something to eat." Dawn nodded and followed her. Brendan stayed where he was. He sighed. He walked out towards somewhere else. Maybe this could be a time to look for the others while Dawn was hanging out with Salvia.

Dawn and Salvia sat at the balcony of her castle. Dawn talked to Salvia about her journey, and Salvia paid attention, enjoying the many adventures that May and her friends go on.

"You and May look to be amazing friends," said Salvia.

"I know," said Dawn, "What about your relationship with her?"

"May and I?" said Salvia, "You could say that we are the best of friends, just like you and her. She visits me constantly. I enjoy her company, but she sometimes goes crazy. We usually go into the forest to play sometimes. It's amazing over there. But I do wish to go on an adventure one day, just like her. I do feel jealous sometimes."

"But your life is amazing," said Dawn, "Sometimes I wish I was a Princess. I would love the attention."

"You would, huh?" asked Salvia. They were quiet for a few minutes. Dawn started to wonder if she said something wrong. Salvia then smiled, and then clapped her hands together.

"Let's switch places," said Salvia.

Salvia looked herself in the mirror. She was wearing Dawn's clothes. Dawn then came out, and she was wearing Salvia's blue Princess clothes. She twirled around in it.

"So it's settled," said Salvia, "We switch places for one day, and one day only. Make sure you don't get caught."

"Okay, but I'm not very good at making accents," said Dawn.

"What do you mean?" asked Salvia. Dawn just looked at her to see if she was joking, but she was dead serious. Salvia smiled again.

"Alright," said Salvia, "I hope you have a fine day." She turned around and skipped away. Dawn looked herself in the mirror, but then she remembered something.

"Hey, Salvia," said Dawn. Salvia turned back at Dawn. Before Dawn could say anything, Brendan walked towards them.

"Hey Dawn, I found the others," said Brendan, "What are you doing?" Salvia looked towards Dawn. By just looking into each other's eyes, Salvia understood and nodded. She then ran toward Brendan and took his arm.

"Come now," said Salvia, "I've got many things I want to do in the city. You must come with me."

"Um, okay," said Brendan as Salvia dragged him away, "Did you always have that accent?" Dawn watched them go and sighed.

"I hope she understood all that," said Salvia, "I wonder what I should do today. Maybe I should..."

"Princess," said a butler behind Dawn, "You must come. I hope you haven't forgotten your speech already." Dawn looked towards the man.

"What speech?" asked Dawn.

"Nice joke, Princess," said the butler, "We don't have much time. It's in two hours. We must hurry." He then took Dawn, who had no idea what was going on.

"Wait, a speech?" asked Dawn, "I was never informed of this."

Salvia and Brendan made it towards Ash and Drew. When Salvia saw them, she looked around.

"Where's May?" asked Salvia.

"She ran off," said Drew, "She went to look for the Princess. Hey, did you always have that accent?"

"Of course," said Salvia.

"Pika?" asked Pikachu. Ash petted its head, trying to keep it quiet. It nodded.

"Tell her to be careful now," said Salvia, "I don't want her to get hurt."

"Ash will be watching over her, like he always does," said Drew. Salvia looked towards Ash, looking at nothing in the sky. She smiled and nodded.

"I see why she's intrigued in you," said Salvia.

"Intrigued?" said Drew, "What did you just say? Who's intrigued in me? I've gots to know." Salvia stared at Drew, and once again smiled.

"Oh yeah," said Salvia, "I forgot. You're the dumb one." Drew chuckled and looked towards Ash.

"You just got called dumb," said Drew.

"I must be going with this boy now," said Salvia, "We have a lot of things to do today." She then dragged Brendan away with her. Drew smiled.

"Go ahead lovebirds," said Drew, and he sighed.

"Oh Ash," said Drew, "Look at them go. Two lovers walking down the street. Beautiful, isn't it?" Ash shook his head and was about to give himself a face-palm, but changed his mind and gave Drew one.

Dawn was in a pink room. She looked around and saw the guards around her. She looked forward and saw a man with papers in his hand.

"Please don't tell me you forgot everything," said the man, "This is a very serious event. You're mother and father will be watching."

"I know it, I know it," said Dawn as she scratched the back of her head, "I'm just confused, but I know everything. You don't have to worry at all." The man stared at Dawn, and then nodded and stood up.

"I'll be back later to help you some more," said the man, and he walked out. Dawn sighed and groaned.

"She never told me about a speech," thought Dawn, "If I knew, I wouldn't have done this today." The door creaked open, and Dawn saw someone come in. Dawn didn't see the person anywhere. Thinking it was a thief or a random person, Dawn was about to call for help, but then May popped up from behind her.

"Boo!" said May, making Dawn shriek and fall to the ground. When she noticed May, she sighed in relief.

"Thank Arceus you're here, May," said Dawn. May then looked at Dawn and stared at her.

"What is it?" asked Dawn. May tilted her head to the side.

"You're not Salvia," said May, "Dawn?" Dawn just froze. How May was the only person to notice was beyond her. She slowly stood up and put her hands on May's shoulders.

"May, listen," said Dawn, "I need you to go out and find Salvia. I need her help. I'm in a very big predicament right now. I need help immediately. You must find her for me, alright?" May slowly nodded.

"And how did you know I was Dawn?" asked Dawn.

"You don't have the accent," May responded. Before anything else could happen, a guard came into the room.

"Hello Princesses," said the guard, "Salvia, you're needed by the city mayor."

"You've got the wrong person," said May, "This is..." Dawn then covered her mouth. She then walked towards the guard and looked at May and put a finger in front of her mouth and went out. May just stood there.

Salvia and Brendan browsed through the city together. Salvia really enjoyed her time acting like Dawn, but Brendan honestly saw through her disguise already. He was just trying to play along with the girl. After a while, they sat down and Salvia got them milkshakes. As they drank their milkshakes, Brendan decided to pop the question.

"Hey, do you know what happened to..." asked Brendan, but suddenly he heard the girl gasp. He looked to see where she was looking and saw her looking at a poster. He looked at it and saw her on it. On it said:

Today in Jubilife, Princess Salvia will be making a speech in place of her parents. It will be the first speech she'll do, and help her improve to become the Queen. Come see, happening at the city center.

Brendan saw the girl trembling.

"I forgot it was today," mumbled Salvia, and she turned towards Brendan and pointed towards the poster, "We must go here! Now!" Brendan just stared at her, and then chuckled.

"I knew you weren't Dawn since the beginning," said Brendan as he stood up, "Dawn would never buy me milkshakes unless it's a special occasion. That's you, isn't it? You guys switched places? If we don't get there fast, Dawn's screwed. Let's go." He then ran off. Salvia was surprised on how much he understood without her telling him. She shrugged and ran after him.

Dawn was hyperventilating as she was in the room which led to the balcony that was over the center of the city. If she went out there, she was going to expose that she wasn't the real Salvia. That man came back to review the speech, but Dawn couldn't do it. He requested they do it another time, but Dawn didn't want to ruin this for Salvia, so she said to continue this, but she was beginning to regret this.

"Don't worry, Dawn," thought Dawn, "May is coming. May is coming to save the day."

"We would like to welcome Princess Salvia!" said someone on a loudspeaker, making Dawn shiver. She looked out and shivered. She was never good in a large crowd. She sighed and walked towards it.

"I can do this," thought Dawn, "Be a Princess." As soon as she went out and the people cheered, she felt like fainting, but she stood up.

"The stage is yours, Princess," said a man beside her. She nodded. She looked at the people who waited patiently for her. She breathed.

"Um, I..." said Dawn. She closed her eyes.

"I'M SALVIA!" yelled a girl. Dawn opened her eyes and looked around. A girl ran into the balcony. Dawn smiled, happy that Salvia was here, but when she saw the girl, her jaw dropped. It was May, dressed in a blue dress, but with a red wig that wasn't brushed.

"What the hell?" asked Dawn.

"I'M YOUR PRINCESS!" yelled May, "THIS GIRL IS AN IMPOSTER!" Dawn just looked at her. After a few seconds, people started to boo.

"May," said Dawn, "I told you to look for her."

"I tried to, but I couldn't find her, so I decided to dress up like this," said May.

"You don't even look like her," said Dawn as she gave herself a face-palm. May looked at her hair and frowned.

"Damn," said May, "Wrong wig." People continued to boo as the two girls just stood there. Guards started walking towards them.

"May, Dawn!" yelled Salvia. The two girls looked behind them and saw the girl running towards them with Brendan. They ran to them as the guards missed them.

"Where have you been?" asked Dawn.

"Having fun," said Salvia as she started pulling on Dawn's dress, "Give it to me."

"Here?" asked Dawn. Ash and Drew then ran towards them from behind.

"Hey, we saw May," said Drew, "What's going on here?" They then saw the two girls. They turned their heads to Salvia and Dawn. They wanted to say something, but they had no words. Salvia then pulled off the dress and put it on her. She quickly straightened her dress and her hair. She then bowed and walked towards the balcony.

"Good luck, Salvia," said May.

"I will," said Salvia, and she went out and she started to speak. Dawn sighed.

"Finally that's over," said Dawn. She looked back at them, and saw Brendan, Drew, and Ash just staring at her. She didn't know why. Then she looked at herself, and noticed that when Salvia took off her dress, it only left her with her panties and bra. She blushed furiously.

"Perverts!" yelled Dawn.

After the speech, the girls decided to hang out with each other. They spent the night in her castle. The next day, they all decided to leave. Before they left, they said her goodbyes.

"Be careful," said Salvia, "Don't get yourself hurt on your journey."

"We won't," said Dawn.

"Be good Salvia," said May, "I'll come to visit some other time." Salvia nodded. She then walked towards Dawn.

"Thank you for everything, Dawn," said Salvia, and then she took her hand and placed a Pokeball in it, "Before you say anything, this is one of my Pokemon. Don't worry, I talked to it last night. I want it to travel around Ransei than be stuck in my castle. I want you to take care of it for me. Think of it as a gift from me." Dawn blushed and looked at the Pokeball.

"Also, take care of May for me," said Salvia, "She may be adventurous, but very fragile. Make sure she doesn't get into any trouble."

"Don't worry," said Dawn, "We already have Ash for that." Salvia nodded. After saying their goodbyes, the kids left.

"Hey May," said Dawn, "When we first met, how come you never confused me for Salvia."

"I did at first, but I knew it wasn't her because you don't have an accent," said May. Dawn half smiled. She must really love that accent. When they got far enough, Salvia turned back towards the castle.

"Time to..." thought Salvia, but suddenly May jumped on her.

"May!" said Salvia.

"You're so adorable,"said May, "I couldn't help it. I could kill just to have that accent." The others turned towards them and sweat-dropped. They then went to pull May apart from Salvia.

(Ending song)

Next Time on Pokemon Heroes: The bounty hunters now make their move, and Ash is prepared to have a rude awakening. Secrets are about to be unfold, and these two bounty hunters are the key to unlocking Brendan's past. How will the group of friends deal with these bounty hunters, and what connection do they have with Brendan? Next Time: Lee and Riku.

That was that chapter. One thing is that going through all the royals right now, just because they were shown once, doesn't mean they won't show up ever again. They will, because they each will appear three or four times each in this story. The bounty hunters will make their first appearance to Ash and his friends next chapter, so keep reading. See you in the next chapter!

Read and Review please :-)
