Two Princes || An Originshipping Fanfic

{Chapter 6 - Ho Hey}

{Wallace's POV}

Wow, I couldn't believe the fact that a week has passed in this realm, and now's the day of the royal ball. I told the little Blue Floette about it, and after much discussion with the other two flowering pokemon, they agreed that I'll attend, as long as I don't tell where I'm from. It's not like I've done that before, but oh well. 

I walked out of the small, quaint cottage that I call home, feeling my long swept teal hair flowing through the gust of wind in the forest, one which has flowers covered in each pathway that I come across. Each time I go through a path of chrysanthemums, the wonderful prince of Hoenn comes along, always greeting me with that pretty smile of his. He can comfort me all he wants with that metallic gaze of his like the same way he's bedazzled by my performances. 

But I was really drawn to that enchantress that I met a week ago, the one with the eyes of a dragon..  Zinnia, was it? She said she was an assistant of sorts of someone, I really wanted to know who, but in the blink of an eye, she left. And it seemed that Steven might've known, or he didn't, and was just concerned for me, since y'know, people say enchantresses are evil and all.. Well, I tend to be different that what people seem to think I am. They might know me as 'just a gym leader in the region', I am more than meets the eye.

After following a few Tailow and that unsuspecting Hoothoot again, the bird pokemon have led me to the kingdom. And from afar, it already seems like quite a grand one indeed. One covered in such light blue hues and white limestone. The ball was almost starting, I guessed from the carriages and the people walking there, all with pretty dresses and fine suits, an some are even with their pokemon. Ah, but I can't bring Milotic over there, I don't think they will be pleased with a majestic serpentine creature like it, I might even make some of the other guests jealous with it!

I stepped out of the forest, sweeping the leaves and burrs off the dress that I'm wearing. The fairy-type pokemon decided I should wear a dress, and to be honest, I'm alright with wearing one. I actually enjoy this frilly kind.. 

I saw that there were knights in such intricate armor, guarding the castle gates, and a line of the mentioned carriages too. I slid down the rocky forest's slope and noticed that Steven wasn't there, but it seemed Zinnia was attending the ball, along with someone else.. could this be her master?

Eventually, I got closer to the gates of the castle, seeing the golden shine of it, quite amazing honestly.

"Welcome to the ball." The knight bowed. 

"Thank you very much." I, of course, did a curtsy, and went on my way inside.

As I entered the palace, my eyes shifted to the wide ballroom, which was larger than I expected, and small crowds started to form, with the many hues of the stunning and shimmering dresses blending in together all at once, and I just stood there, mesmerized, paralyzed even.

"Oh, there you are, princess Wallace." Steven whispered behind me.

"Princess? Oh, is it because I'm wearing a dress tonight?" I raised an eyebrow as I crossed my arms, in a sassy way.

"No no, you look great in it, it's no issue."

"Hmph, alright, I can't stay mad at you since you complimented me. You look nice too."

"Thanks so much."

"Now then.. I know it's been a long time since we've done this.." Steven took a step back , and bowed to me.

"But let the ballroom dance begin."
