This is my first fic of Pokemon so I hope you'll bear with me. this story has actually been on my mind for quite sometime now. I even made a comic about it but alas! I lost them all TT^TT so writing it is the only way i could recover from the loss i had. This story is like the Princess and the Pea but i added some twists and harsh stuff especially the background of the princess... I'm sorry ******! I clearly massacred this story...

Edit: I decided to put both the prologues in one chappie. nothing changed okay? Just placed them together cause I decided to try for 3,000+ words per chap.. depends though..

DISCLAIMER: POKEMON DOES NOT BELONG TO ME! and so does the PRINCESS AND THE PEA!

The Princess and the Pokeball Prologue

Clak Clak Clak. A sound of a horse carriage echoed in the Viridian forest that cold morning.

In it was the king and queen of the Viridian kingdom just a few miles away.

"Are we there yet?" asked the spiky red-haired boy who was jumping up and down from his chair.

"Lance, dear, could you sit down for a while?" requested the queen to her energetic 9-year-old.

"Lance, you're scaring your mother" Added the king sternly.

"Oh sorry, I just can't wait to get back home! Plus I'm so excited for the arrival of my baby sister!" exclaimed Lance as he looks over the window.

The queen was 9 months pregnant already and was expected to give birth by the time they reach the kingdom. The queen looked lovingly at Lance and held her bulging stomach. "Patience, dear, we're almost out of the forest and i can see that you're really excited to meet her!"

Lance nodded cheerfully.

"It was just like when Lance was born..." said his father. "We we're all surprised to have you born in the carriage that we were riding"

"we were in the Viridian forest at that time too!" his mother exclaimed as she reminisces all those hectic moments. "Soon, the elders started calling you the 'Child of the Forest'"

"That certainly gave me a heart attack" his father nervously laughed on his chair while his wife nodded in agreement. "Let's just hope it won't happen again..."

"Right, dear?" continued the king..

The queen nodded again but then a pained expression washed over her face.

"Mom?" asked Lance worriedly and rushed over to his mother's side. "Mom, what's wrong?"

The queen huffed and began to sweat bullets but nonetheless smiled at her child. It was sweet seeing a son worried about her mother.

"It was nothing... just a little pain...that's all" she reassured both her boys. "Is nurse joy on the other carriage?" she asked.

"Yes dear, just tell us if you need anything alright?" calmed her husband.

The queen nodded and tried to move a little to relax herself when it finally snapped.

"AAAAHHHHHHHH!" The queen suddenly cried as she felt the unbearable pain of what she felt 9 years ago.

The king and the little prince were surprised by the queen's shouts that they began shouting as well.

"DEEAARR! GET NURSE JOY NOW!"

The queen ordered in pain.

"NURSE JOY!" cried out her husband as he dashed out of the carriage.

"Mom! MOM!" Lance called out to his mother desperately as he grabs his mother by the hand.

Suddenly, the door busted open and a tall figure carrying a kit came into view."I'M HERE YOUR MAJESTY!"

Nurse Joy slowly came inside the carriage with her pokemon aiding behind her. Then she approached the worried little prince. "Don't worry Prince Lance, we'll take care of your mother. Now, please wait with the king outside" She calmly says.

"But I don't want to leave my mother!" Lance protested as he continued to hold onto his mother's dress.

"Trust us Your majesty, we would take good care of her. I promise"

With that, Lance got off the carriage. He couldn't help but sigh at the things he is experiencing. He came around the carriage and soon found his father siting on a log with his head resting on the palm of his hands.

Lance heard him moan and sigh.

"Don't worry dad, everything will be alright!" He reassured his father as he hugs his father from behind. The king sighed and gave a weak smile. "You're right, Lance."

"AHHHHH!"

The painful screams of the mother echoed through the forest.

Flying around and beautifying nature, the small green guardian of the forest, Celebi, suddenly turns to the noise and stops what it was previously doing.

"Bii?" it sounded as it flew over the trees to look for the cause of it.

Celebi soon came over a small carriage where another cry was heard, but this time, it sounded more delicate and soft.

It slowly took a peek behind the curtain and cried gleefully after seeing the source of the sound.

Wrapped in a cotton cloth between the mother's weak arms was a baby. It's cheeks were pink from all the crying it did just a few seconds ago, but it has calmed down soon after.

The father came closer to the baby to kiss its little nose while the mother smiled joyfully.

Lance was standing a few inches away. He didn't go near his new born sibling because he just came from the outside where dirt must have gotten all over him but seeing his sister was already enough for him.

"BIII!"

"Eh?" Lance heard something squeak outside.

He turned to the window beside him and looked outside. Sure enough he was able to spot something very interesting.

"She's beautiful, isn't she?" the king uttered softly as he stared at the details of his daughter's face.

The new born princess slept in her mother's arms. Her eye lashes curved and refined beautifully as she dozed off while her thin brows formed a beautiful arc resting above her eyes.

"What should we name her?" he asked.

"MOM! DAD! you have to see this!" Lance exclaimed as he leans over the window.

"What is it Lance?" His father walked to his son's side and looked at what Lance pointed.

The queen chuckled after seeing her son so eager. Then she looked at her child quietly thinking of the one and only perfect name.

Then she looked at to what her son was pointing at. She smiled at her thought.

Just outside their carriage was a flower.

"So mom, what would be her name?" asked Lance as looks back to his mother.

"Hmm...I'll call her..." she started. Then looked back to the flower.

It's petals were delicate and smooth as a baby's skin.

It seemed to have just sprouted by chance or was it meant to?

Either way it became special to her just as her new baby.

Her mind suddenly registered the new name and went back to smiling at Lance.

"Her name is Amarillo del Bosque Verde"

.

.

.

"Yel?"

No answer.

"Yellow?"

No answer.

"Oh Yellow~!" sang a voice as it rummaged around the bushes.

Popping out, the red spiky haired Lance gave a smirk.

"Oh she's good..."

"Big bwothew Lance will nevew find me hew" the little blonde sang as she crouched behind the bushes with her little rattata. She and her brother were playing their everyday game of hide-and-seek, and every time, the blonde knew she was getting better at it. She gave out a little giggle to her pokemon hiding with her, and gave it a hush sign.

Suddenly the bushes behind her started shaking and a faint voice saying her name was heard.

"Yellow..."

Yellow. That was the nickname her brother gave her after knowing that it was her favorite color when she was already 8 months old.

Little Yellow held her breath from the sudden voice she heard when suddenly a large figure loomed over her and whispered in her ear.

"I found you"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

"Sorry about that Yel..." apologized Lance as he absent-mindedly scratched the back of his head.

Yellow was sitting on a low brick wall in the garden as she sobs and hiccups after experiencing the petrifying scare her brother gave her.

"Y-You...s-s-scawed...me..." said Yellow between her hiccups.

"I'm sorry okay? I won't do anything that would scare you ever again" assured Lance as he gently pats his sister's head.

"Pwomise?"

Lance was speechless and thought about it, then smiled at Yellow.

He said as he held up his right hand while his left hand rested on his chest.

"I promise"

Yellow nodded satisfyingly and gave Lance a toothy grin.

"Thank you!"

Yellow is now 2 years of age and is loved by all in the kingdom. She is known as Princess Amarillo del Bosque Verde of Viridian but within her family, she is simply known as 'Yellow'. Much like her brother, She is also dubbed as a "Child of the Forest". Elders around the kingdom strongly believe that they have been surely blessed by their ancestors after giving two forest kids to the Viridian kingdom.

Yellow and Lance had heard numerous stories and legends about the "Children of the forest" from their old guardian. It was said that if someone is born in the forest, he or she would be blessed with psychic abilities and a special gift to heal and read the minds of Pokemon.

"Like supew powews?" Yellow once pointed out after hearing their nana's story while Lance wondered whether he should believe this fairy tale or not.

"It's not true Yellow... they're just stories"

He told her one time before he tucked her to bed.

"It is twue! Nana told me so!" was what she always replied to her unbelieving 11-year-old brother.

The next day was a fine and bright early morning. The air was cold but nonetheless refreshing, and a warm gentle breeze came by every now and then.

Yellow woke up after hearing her rattata scratch her bed post.

"Do you want to go out, Ratty?" Yellow looked down from her bed and asked the little rat pokemon. Then it looked up and nodded.

Yellow slowly got down and walked barefooted on the hard wood towards the door with ratty following her. She reached for the handle and quietly opened it. Ratty got out first and started for the stairs heading to the kitchen. Yellow stealthily followed Ratty. She turned left and went down the stairs. Ratty stopped every time to wait for Yellow to catch up since she could not still memorize the things that the pathways and doors lead to.

Ratty ran down another hall after Yellow caught up with it. She turned left again with Ratty on the lead. Suddenly she sees Ratty stop in front of a door. She quietly opened it and a scent of some fresh batch of bread greeted her.

"Good morning Princess" greeted one of the cooks as he kneads a chalky dough.

"Good mowning~!" Yellow greeted back. She slowly descends from the elevated door way and goes to the vegetable section where Ratty was busy chewing lettuce.

"No Watty! Don't do that!" she reprimanded her pokemon.

Ratty obeyed immediately while the cook amusingly laughed.

"Princess Amarillo, how come you're up so early?" asked her Nana who just came inside the kitchen. She had her basket in hand and her silver hair was tied into a bun while a handkerchief covered her head.

"Where awe you going Nana?" Yellow curiously asked.

"To the market place, princess" her Nana replied.

Yellow's eyes began to twinkle and her smile grew wide. "Can I come? Pwease?" she excitedly asked.

"I guess...it doesn't hurt to walk around the kingdom..." Her Nana thought. "Sure! You can come."

"Yey!" Yellow exclaimed.

She grabbed her pair of boots she keeps beside the fireplace in the kitchen and wore them with her white nightgown.

"We went awound the mawket and got those big owange thingies!" Yellow relayed as she pointed at a pumpkin they got for her parents and Lance as they eat their breakfast.

"I'm sure you had a lot of fun Yellow!" her father commented on her story. "but you should be careful next time okay? Don't go anywhere unless Daddy tells you so" said the king as he waves his finger that meant 'don't'.

"Okay!"

"You should bring me with you sometime, Yel." Added Lance as he examines the pumpkin on the table.

Everyday Yellow asks her father's permission and goes shopping with her Nana. She loved going to the market every morning that she even stays there for the whole day playing with the other kids while her Nana watched over her. Lance tried coming with them but is always stopped by the intimidating stares of those who are unknown to him and the kingdom. Sometimes Nana and Yellow got home very late to the extent that Lance reprimands Nana.

"We wew just walking awound Lance! Don't get mad at Nana!"

That was the first time Yellow talked back to Lance and she didn't even called him "big bwothew" anymore.

After a while, some of the merchants from unknown parts traveling in and out of the kingdom had noticed the Princess leaving the castle without any proper security. They observed her for quite a long time and agreed that it was probably one of the greatest weaknesses of the kingdom.

That late afternoon, Lance walked around the porch busy dwelling in his own thoughts. He told himself that he was not doing a good job protecting his sister these past few months. She always went out even if he gave her so many warnings, even if he clearly told her not to easily trust those around her. But she still sticks onto Nana's hand every time Nana goes out. She never listens, even for a 2 and a half year old, she certainly rebelled in a way.

"Lance!" Lance turned to the sound that called his name.

"Mom? What's wrong?" He ran to his mother ho stumbled from running.

Lance looked into his mother's eyes. They were so distressed that her eyes were on the verge of tears.

"Yellow... Where is she?"

"S-She's walking with Nana at the Market place" Lance replied trying to grasp his mother's reaction when he said that.

"Oh No..." she mumbled as horror swept in her eyes. She covered her gaping mouth with her hands.

"Mom?! What's wrong?! How come you're acting like this?!" Lance interrogated as he gripped his mother's shoulders waiting for an answer.

Down below he heard his father barking orders to his men.

"Guards! Secure the whole kingdom! We have intruders!"

Lance fell silent after hearing his father and was finally aware of the situation. A million images passed through his mind. He breathed as if he was suffocating, as if he was shot in the head with the full realization of his sister in danger.

He quickly let go of his mother, jumped off the 2nd floor porch, and landed firmly on the ground. He cleared up all his thoughts, his worries and fixed his mind into one objective.

He must find his sister.

Lance quickly dashed to the gate when he suddenly heard a loud explosion coming from the square.

"Yellow!"

Yellow wondered around the market hand in hand with her Nana.

"Hello Princess Amarillo!" greeted an apple vendor. Then she took one of the apples displayed and gave it to her.

"Thank you Miss!" She bowed.

Her Nana laughed at her little princess's charm. Everyday had always been incredible for Yellow. She always had fun outside the castle. Sometimes she even wondered why her big brother preferred staying inside than meeting the warm, friendly and kind people of the kingdom.

"You shouldn't trust everyone Yel." was one of the warnings her brother gave her.

But who is there not to trust? Everyone was so kind to her. Maybe her brother was just jealous.

"You don't know who they really are"

Suddenly a loud explosion shook the ground they were standing on. Everyone fell on the dirt as black smoke rose from the nearby square. Everyone ran for their lives as blazing arrows rained on them burning every thing it ever touched. Yellow was in the middle of the panicking crowd protecting her little body from the shoves the people gave.

"Nana?! Nana?!" Yellow cried out to her Nana as she desperately tried to move around without getting pushed or kicked aside. "NANA!" She tried calling out again but it was hard to be heard from the screams of everybody.

Soon, another explosion occurred, this time, hitting the stand where Yellow got her apple. She watched the fruits being crushed into juices by the feet of everybody. Nobody cared about the food being stepped on, nobody cared about picking them up, they only cared about their own lives, leaving the things needed the most get dirty on floor.

Yellow started crying. Nobody cared about her right now. Nobody would even dare pick her up and try to save her. Nobody came into her mind except her brother, Lance. He was always there for her...protecting her...telling her what's good for her. but, she didn't listen.

Fire soon spread around the stands, engulfing everything in flames. Yellow was about to stand when a burning post suddenly fall in front of her blocking her only way out of the flames.

"MY SISTER'S IN THERE!"

Lance shouted as he struggles pulling himself away from the guard's iron grip.

"The princess could just be somewhere around the crowd! Look for her there!"

The guard exclaimed over the noise but Lance refused to stop. He knows Yellow is still out there!

They we're both "Children of the Forest" for goodness sake!

"YELLOW!"

The flames were alarmingly getting close to Yellow. She had been having a hard time breathing since she's been engulfed by the smoke.

"YELLOW!"

Yellow heard a faint call echoing in her head. "Big Bwothew...?"

Then she collapsed from the heat and smoke that filled her lungs.

From a distance, a family duo of a father and son hurriedly packed the things they could still save on a Charizard.

"Hurry up, Green!" exclaimed the father while pushing his son up on Charizard's back.

Green swiftly climbed up on Charizard when he noticed a small figure of a child appeared in his line of view.

"Dad! I see a girl!" Green pointed to the flames. His father shook his head but Green insisted on focusing on a figure behind the flames.

"I see her!"

The duo quickly flew over the it and had Charizard reach for the frail body and carry it off in a distance where they would be safe.

The events proceeding after that zoomed by...

Nana was arrested for loosing the princess and was probably sentenced to death as ordered by the king.

The kingdom burned down and now every body had to live as refugees but the king and queen insisted on staying behind. Lance on the other hand left with everyone hoping that one day he could avenge his sister's death. Whoever the mastermind was he swore that he would find him.

The Viridians soon separated into groups and traveled in different roads hoping that one day, they would find a happier place. But for Lance wherever he went. Nothing seemed to satisfy him unless he had found his target.

I made a more evil Lance... which suits him but... i'm having a hard time connecting stuff.. hopefully i'll get through it...

GREEN! yeh I added him there for a special reason :P

What have I done to Yellow? : Oh well.. it's just the Prologue anyway...anything can happen in the Present story.. nyahahahahaha! REVIEW!
