Poketales-The Little Mermaid (Starring Nixie the Mermaid, and Sora the prince)
Chapter 7-Tears of Joy and Sorrow
Author Notes: I'm so sorry all for taking so long to work on this but thanks to askthearrow I'm back in action for this story. I do not own pokemon or the fairytales used!
3rd P.O.V
It was strange, the prince glanced over at the beautiful maiden spread across the sand. She was bare, her hair and a sheet of cloth over her body. Her ice pokemon glaceon knocked out as well.
Glaceon the Fresh Snow Pokemon-The ice evolution of Eevee. It can control it's body heat making it's fur freeze into a cold shield. Using it's blizzard attack, it can cause a whiteout dust flurry.
It was astounding to the grass pokemon. Finding it's counterpart way out in the sunny shores of his partners castle. He knew it was no coincidence to find her here. However awakening to find her and not the dewgong was a mystery in itself.
Gently, oh so nervously, Sora checked her pulse, blessed to find it and feel her warm breath. He picked her up, taking both girls into his home, where they were watched over. Each were examined.
"Your majesty…neither are injured. I think however they exerted themselves which is why they're not yet awake." He nods thanking the nurse and chansey that checked on his newest guests.
Chansey the Egg Pokemon. It is a very kindhearted pokemon and evolved form of Happiny. Often will assist those in need even in the wild. They are used as nurses in the pokemon center.
He sat, glancing over where she laid from time to time…but for the most part he was lost in his thoughts. He was not foolish…what were the odds of a girl coming up on a beach when the same had happened to him not too long ago.
'Could it be her? The one who saved me?' It was quite possible. He couldn't remember at all what she looked like, but what he does remember was her voice. There was no way he could forget that. That soft harmonious sound.
The next morning the sun crept its way into the room, agitating the girl she opened her eyes. In a daze she say up. Looking down she smiled. Wiggling her newest pair of toes.
A sensation new to her. She's flipped and wiggled her tail a million times, though seeing those cute chubby little extensions twirl and move. It was fascinating. Hearing a huff she glances over.
Still sleeping Dew-I mean glaceon is slightly snoring. A small smile graces the princesses lips…as she gets out of bed. Well tries to. Unused to such flimsy, unstabled legs she crshes to the ground. Nailing her nose.
The hard fall startled the eevee evolution from her slumber. Quick on her feet she turns her head, spotting her friend rubbing her aching face. "Glac! Glaceon!" (Nix! Are you ok?) The blond girl nods, grateful she could still communicate with her partner.
She tries to say she's fine, but no sound, but her friend understood. "Dear me, are you ok sweetheart?" Both turn to an elderly lady. She's helped up and taken to the bathing room. "My name is Ruth. I'm the care taker and one of the maids here."
They walk together. Nixie covering herself with a towel her newly acquired acquaintance was so kind to give her. Unable to speak, Ruth got the theory of the poor princess being shipwrecked, the shock rendering her mute.
It wasn't so far off the truth…(ok yes it was) it was a good enough story. Placed into the bath, the once mermaid plays with the bubbles while both she and her pokemon are given a good scrubbing. Ruth felt sad for the girl.
Was so young, so sweet and innocent to go through such a terrible event. "That's a very beautiful hairpin miss." It wasn't everyday that she or anyone else for that matter would see such a giant pink pearl molded into a hair accessory.
Feeling better, and incredibly grateful for being assisted after her collapse, she tries to give away the last token of her inheritance to Ruth…Who strongly declines. "No no, don't waste such a precious thing on me. Keep it and wear it proudly."
Nodding the princess holds it…cherishing it, as she did when she first received it. A swift flash of homesickness overwhelmed her…she dare not show it in front of the gentle woman. In a way she reminded Nixie of her grandmother, only younger.
Soon after every servant in the palace considered Nixie as a princess or noble for her pear hairpin. It lays tucked on the side as it always did. But now, after getting adjusted with her newest limbs and trying to get used to the idea of pants.
Meets her savior in some older clothes he wore in his younger years. "Ah I am glad to see you are awake milady." She smiles doing her best to overcome her nerves. Seeing him, meeting him, being with him. It was what she dreamed…what she wished for.
"Leafeon!"( What's going on here?) He narrowed his amber orbs at his icy cousin. She plays ignorant. "GlaCeOn."(I have No idea what you mean.) The two chitchat(as in him interrogating her and she denying everything and anything.) Watching the display the human pair couldn't help but chuckle.
Sora clears his throat getting back to the matter at hand. He asks her questions where she respond using a nod or head shake. So far he has found a few things about her. She is a princess. She does not live here, indeed she is lost, and she cannot speak.
He felt this…attraction, no, a connection with her. And from what he could tell she had no where she could go. He offers to allow her to stay with him. She agrees profusely.
That day was an exciting adventure for her to say the least. Raring to go, she made her way out of the castle. Which she learned was actually a summer home for Sora and his royal family.
It was joyous for her as she got to see people busy with work. And new pokemon she had never set sight on before. She of course knew of the water and ice type pokemon within her travels and maybe a couple flying types.
Never before however did she know of other types. So you could just see the glee in her expression as she saw a couple adorable dancing pokemon performing in the central town square.
Bellosom the Flower Pokemon and the evolved form of Gloom. Gathering in clusters, these pokemon are famous for their dancing and sweet aroma. It is believed that they do a dance as a ritual to summon the sun.
They were so adorable and their performance was astounding. People couldn't help but gaze in awe. Suddenly other pokemon made their way in the dance as well. Swerving in harmony. She did her best to mimic their movements, only to fall with a laugh.
All too soon it had to come to a close. Night fell and Nixie looked out the window of her new chambers. Glancing at the twinkling, glittering stars. She couldn't help but feel down.
Picking up her friend she hugs her. "Gla?" (Nixie?) Mute sobs came about. She gave up the life she knew to live another, one that gives her a chance to be with the boy of her desires.
And yet…she couldn't stop the regret…she missed her family, and they missed her too…deep under the sea they look up to the surface wondering where she is…and when she is coming back home.
To be continued.
