Here's the last chapter of "The Princess And The Politoed". Now, I got a request to change some of the plot and make sure our "Ray" doesn't die, and I hate to tell you this, but it's still going to happen. As for how this story ends and how May achieves her goal as Coordinator, you'll find out later at the end. Hope you like it!
Dawn was waiting outside "Drew's" hiding spot, and then she, with Kenny, still in his mask, there, she was hugging him, and Dawn said, "Prince! Prince Drew, your bride is at her wits end and she's NOT going to be wed to the likes of you!"
She then slammed the door open, and then Butch revealed himself sheepishly, and he said, "Hello, sweetie."
Dawn screamed, and then retreated back to Kenny, and then he hugged her, as Butch ran out of the church, also screaming.
Dawn cried, and then Kenny comforted her, before Drew said, "Ms. Berlitz! Please, down here!"
Drew then got on the table, and then he said, "I'm the real Prince Drew!"
Dawn smacked him with a book again, and then Drew weakly said, "…Of LaRousse."
"Pardon? 'Prince'?" Dawn said, a little skeptical, as was Kenny.
May was hopping on the other side of the street, and she saw the scene. Johanna had called the cops, and a few policemen had Butch in cuffs.
"Boys, take this vermin to the Petalburg prison!" Johanna said.
"I'm innocent! The Cacturne Man tricked me!" Butch shouted, only for the cruiser doors to be shut.
"Oh, sheesh… This is a lot to take in," Dawn said, as she and Kenny were listening to Drew. "Let me clarify. If I kiss you before the clock strikes twelve, you and May will be turned back into humans. And then I can assume that you'll force me into marriage?"
"Um… Minus that last bit about forcing you into marriage, you're right," Drew said, before hearing a sigh of relief from Dawn. "But remember: you need to give May all the money she needs to help her renovate the Gym."
May was listening to them from the other side of the wall.
"Because May…" Drew said, as he looked back up to the star. "She's my Solidad."
May blushed as she heard this, and she smiled.
"I'm not sure about this…" Kenny said. "But if it will help May… And as long as Dawn doesn't have to be wed to you…"
"Trust me, I have eyes for May only." Drew said.
"Thanks for understanding, Kenny," Dawn said, as she took a deep breath. "As for the money part, there's no way I would pass up a chance to help out my best friend! So… Here goes…"
Drew apathetically puckered up, and as Dawn was about to kiss him, May interrupted and said, "Hold it!"
"May?" Drew said.
"May?" Dawn said.
"Please! Don't do it!" May said, as she came out of hiding.
"I have to do this! We're almost out of time!" Drew said, as he was about to go back to Dawn.
"I won't let you go through with it!" May protested.
"It's the only way I can help you get your dream!" Drew said, taking May's hands, and then he turned around and began to go back to Dawn.
"My dream…" May said. "My dream is just a complete void… Without you."
Hearing this, Drew turned back to May, with a smile, and then May shrugged before saying, "Drew, I love you."
Drew then stood up, walked over to May, and took her hands, and asked, as she stood up, "Claps and all?"
"Claps and all." May said, as she rested her face on Drew's chest.
Dawn was tearing up, before telling May, "Back when we were kids, it was all about true love within our fairy tales… And May, you found it!"
May and Drew were holding hands, and then Dawn said, "I'll kiss him! For you, May!"
Dawn was about to kiss Drew, who was ready, only for the clock to strike midnight.
"Oh, no!" Kenny said, upset.
"Oh, snap! I haven't even tried!" Dawn said, before kissing Drew several times. However, nothing happened, and both Drew and May were still Politoed.
Seeing all of her kisses were uneffective, Dawn gave a sad look to her friends, and then she said, "I'm SO sorry…"
"Not your fault," Drew said, mildly disappointed that he and May were not human. "It could be much worse, too."
Kenny held on to Dawn while she was about to shed tears, and then soon, everyone heard Barry shout, "MAY! DREW!"
Drew and May then started to hop over to their Feraligatr friend, who was looking very upset. Dawn and Kenny were watching, in mild sadness.
"Barry, what happened?" Drew asked.
"It's Brock! The Cacturne Man laid him down!" Barry said.
"What?!" May said, as Barry put Brock down on the ground.
Brock's eyes opened up a little bit, and then he said, "Hey, girl… How… How come the two of you are still…"
"We're staying Politoed, Brock." May said, as she held Drew's hand.
"But we're sticking together." Drew said, on May's behalf.
"Oh… I'm happy for you…" Brock said, his breathing shallow. "Solidad… She likes that, too."
Looking at the Evening Star one last time, Brock's eyes closed slowly, never to open them again. In grief, everyone hung their heads in sadness, as the rain started to pour.
Later in the swamp, there was a proper funeral for Brock. His family had put him in a leaf boat and then as they were about to shove him off, May and Drew put some black roses inside, before the leaf was pushed down the water.
Everyone was sniveling and crying, but when a soft light from above started to glow, they all looked up, and everyone smiled in joy. When one of the clouds beside the Evening Star cleared, there was another star beside it. Everyone, then realizing Brock had gotten his wish to be with Solidad, started cheering and feeling better about the situation. Drew and May then hugged each other, and everyone was very happy at this turn of events.
The next day, when the sun was shinning, in a small "island" in the middle of the swamp, May and Drew were getting married, with Iris performing the ceremony. Almost all of the swamp-dwelling Pokémon were at the wedding.
"By the power vested in me…" Iris said, about to finish up. May was wearing a veil made of Ariados silk and a few flower petals from some local Bellossom. Drew, on the other hand, was wearing a MUCH smaller bowtie on his neck, holding May's hands. "I now pronounce you Politoed and wife! Don't just stand there, Froggy; give your bride a smooch!"
As the bowtie came off, Drew cupped May's face, and then kissed her on the lips, which May subjected to. Magic literally bubbled forth from their lips, and then the magic overflowed in the water. It seemed to envelope May and Drew, as they rose up from the ground, and were surrounded in magic. The magic kept moving around like ribbons of water, and as the brightness of the magic got even brighter, every Pokémon had to cover their eyes.
"This is going to be great!" Iris said, laughing.
Soon, the orb radiated a few more beams of light, causing everyone to cover their eyes. Soon, the magic over May and Drew disappeared like curtains being drawn, and then May and Drew were in each other's arms, still kissing, and spinning in mid-air… While as humans. May was in a white wedding dress with red roses as her flower accessories, while Drew was in a pale green princely suit with dark green gloves. Everyone was looking at them in awe as the newlywed couple was a pair of Politoed just a little while ago.
May and Drew broke their kiss and opened their eyes, only for them to be pleasantly surprised at seeing each other as humans. They examined themselves and then Iris laughed.
"Like I said," Iris said, as she pet her Dragonair. "Kissing a princess turns you back into a prince. Conversely, kissing a prince turns you back into a princess if the gender roles were swapped."
"Once you and I were wed… You became…!" Drew said, in realization.
"A princess!" May said, as she gently grabbed Drew by the front of his suit and smiled. "You just kissed yourself a princess!"
Drew then hugged May by the waist and gently took her chin while saying, "And… I'm going to do it once more!"
May and Drew kissed again, and all of the Pokémon were cheering happily, before Drew picked May up and spun her around.
The scene immediately changed to that of the chapel of a church. May blew a kiss to one side of the church, where her mother, Max, Johanna, Dawn, and Kenny, STILL in his mask, were clapping for May and Drew. Drew then gestured to May to his parents, an older pair, both wearing royal attire. Drew's father had darker green hair than his son's, and his eyes were hazel. Drew's mother's hair color was paler than her sons, and her eyes were brown, and they were both so proud, and they were clapping.
Soon, May and Drew ran out of the chapel, hand-in-hand, and May was revealed to be wearing the ring Drew made for her, while all of the photographers started snapping pictures. On the carriage, May threw the bouquet, which Dawn caught, much to Kenny's pleasure. The carriages started to leave.
Later, May and Drew went to the contractors and gave them the money to help them renovate the Gym. They happily took it, and all four of them started to get to work, Barry included. It took a few weeks, but soon, the Gym was better than ever after a while, and then as a celebration, they held a gala event at the Gym.
Barry was playing his trumpet, with a few other songbird Pokémon in tow, and they were really kicking up some jazz music. Meanwhile, May put on an appeal with Drew at her side.
"In the land of Hoenn, there's a city, way up on a river!" May sang, as her Beautifly and Drew's Masquerain did a double Silver Wind maneuver and got the whole crowd screaming in delight.
May went over to her mother, and gave her a hug, while Drew came in with some muffins that he helped make, and gave them to his parents, much to their delight.
"Where the women are very pretty. And all the men deliver!" May sang.
She then pointed up to Barry and his friends; Drew got up on stage and started playing his Poké Flute.
"They got music, it's always playing. Start in the daytime, go all through the night!" May sang.
Drew held out his hand to May, who took his hand, and was brought up on stage to join in the dancing, while singing, "When you hear that music playing, listen to what I say, it make you feel alright!"
Dawn was dancing, and then she said, "Who'd have thought the Prince's cousin would be here? But… I wonder who he is?"
Dawn then felt someone tap her on the shoulder, and then she turned to see Kenny, still wearing his mask, and he had a jewelry box in hand.
"Kenny!" Dawn said, smiling.
Kenny then got Dawn into his arms, and then he said, "Time to show you who I really am."
Kenny took off his mask, and then Dawn gasped as she stammered, "P-P-P-P-P-PRINCE KENNY?!"
Kenny nodded, and then gave her the jewelry box. Dawn opened it, and gasped in pleasant surprise, with tears in her eyes. It was diamond necklace; Kenny put it on her neck, and said, "I was sent here by my aunt and uncle to make sure Drew didn't get into any trouble, which, of course, happened anyway, but I had to go undercover. That's when I met you, and… Well, you captured my heart."
"Oh, Kenny!" Dawn said, as she and Kenny then kissed.
"Grab somebody, come on down! Bring a paint brush, we're painting the town! There's some sweetness going around!" May sang, as Drew led her outside in the gardens, and then he dipped her down.
May and Drew kissed once more, before May caressed his cheek as he brought her back up, and then May sang, "Dreams DO come true in Petalburg!"
A sparkle then went up to the sky, where Brock and Solidad were…
After the Gym was renovated, Max took the reigns as Gym Leader, just like his father wanted him too; May and Drew went back to LaRousse, Drew's homeland, and May was welcomed with open arms by everyone as their princess.
As for Dawn, she and Prince Kenny were to be wed around three months later, after the media hype and insanity from Drew and May's wedding died down. It was a fabulous time for both May and Dawn; they went from best friends to cousins-in-law.
Drew's parents overheard about May's dream to become a Coordinator, and decided to build a Contest Hall in LaRousse City for every aspiring Coordinator in the kingdom, the princess included. However, in these Contests, May preferred to compete as a normal girl, something everyone was okay with.
Dawn and Kenny, as well as the rest of May's family, would frequently visit. When Caroline and Max were questioned about May's father, they explained what happened to Norman, and so Drew's parents dropped the subject.
As for Butch, he was sentenced to life in prison for impersonating the prince and coercing Dawn into marriage, which, luckily for Dawn was not valid, as the real Drew interrupted the priest before he could seal the contract.
Everyone managed to get what he or she deserved in life, and everyone had what he or she needed. It was a time of joy for everyone.
Overall, and I'm sure you can guess…
They all lived Happily Ever After!
And… That's all she wrote in this Pokémon Fairy Tale! Now, don't hesitate to ask me for more ContestShipping or other Pokémon fairy tales! Just… Now, don't hate me for this, but… I would prefer you NOT request PokéShipping or IkariShipping. As for OldrivalShipping, etc., I either don't support or don't know those.
