CHAPTER 8: Royal meetings

The matchmaker, Xatu, had entered to the Arbor Area and passed through the Windmill Way, going towards the Verdant Court, to meet Queen Serperior and her daughter. When he arrived to the chamber where the queen was, he came across with the servants. Xatu said:

"Excuse me, ladies."

Lilligant spoke:

"Oh, you must be the matchmaker to get pairings that we called, isn't right?"

"Yes, I received your announcement and came as fast as possible. Am I in time?"

Leavanny answered:

"Yes, you came in the right moment. Queen Serperior is inside with princess Snivy. Come in."

They let him pass without delay to where the queen and her daughter were. He greeted them:

"Greetings, your Majesty Serperior and your Highness Snivy."

"Greeting to you, adviser Xatu. It's a pleasure that you came here quickly for this very important moment for my daughter."

"It's also a pleasure meeting you two, your Majesty."

Princess Snivy wasn't content about what her mother said. The Grass Snake Pokémon was still disagreed with the decision that Serperior took. She didn't want to get another boyfriend for her, she only had Oshawott in her heart, he was irreplaceable; unfortunately, the queen disapproved the relationship that her daughter had with the Sea Otter Pokémon. In the end, she had to call other royal families of other far away PokéParks to get a better and appropriate boyfriend for Snivy, according to the queen's words.

Xatu continued talking, speaking to Snivy:

"So she must be princess Snivy, right? How are you, your highness?"

She didn't respond immediately, she was just staring at him very seriously. 'So this is the Pokémon that is gonna give me advises of who is gonna be my new boyfriend? He looks very old and strange to have a job like that.'

"Yeah, I'm fine," the princess said in a serious tone.

The way that the queen's daughter answered seemed unusual for the Mystic Pokémon. She seemed that she wasn't in good mood. He asked later:

"Is something wrong, your Highness?"

She didn't respond, her mother answered for her.

"Don't worry, adviser Xatu. She is a bit in a bad mood today, she is going to feel better soon when she sees the princes that are waiting her.

What Serperior said made to show a little bit of anger from Snivy, without moving the head she saw her with a slight scorn. Xatu noticed that, but he didn't want to say something about that. He continued speaking:

"Ahem! Well, I've came here as you called me. I've seen the royal families waiting you impatiently outside the Arbor Area. We hope everything turns out as expected and get this day the next boyfriend for princess Snivy."

The grass snake was still with the glance of much indifference. The Mystic Pokémon continued:

"Well, we're going to be like this: first, you had to give each family a sheet of paper with a number from one to seven that will be delivered randomly. The one who has the lowest number it will enter first; the order of the meeting will be like that. The interviews will be here, where the princes with their families will have to show the best of them to win the princess' heart. We hope that all the interviews will be today. After doing all the meetings, the princess will take her decision of who choose as a boyfriend. I, the queen and the servants have to be present in the interviews, any opinion that it says will influence the princess' opinion."
