CHAPTER 10: Alarming news

CHAPTER 10: Alarming news

Oshawott was very sad that day, now Snivy would get a new boyfriend, one nobler and richer than him. His moral couldn't go even lower, until he was informed that in a few more days the Berry Party would be made, and it was there when they would announce the grass snake's boyfriend. They were going to invite everyone, except the otter. He couldn't be more depressed for that. What would he do now that he couldn't be next to Snivy anymore? He continued loving her with much fondness. The water type remembered those nice moments where they enjoyed a lot of each other's company, now all of that was a nice memory. Maybe it was better to accept that he couldn't be with her, she was very nice and elegant for him, besides of being a cute princess. He would have liked having been invited to the Berry Party, but he couldn't. He, there, could tell Snivy's boyfriend to take care of her like he did to her for that time since they met. Oshawott would give congratulations to the new fiancé of his Pal of adventure. He would do that, but sadly it wasn't like that. He had to continue with his life as an investigator and later replace Samurott in the job of Area keeper of Cove Area. He had to be happy, because Snivy had gotten someone who loved her so much like Oshawott in his time. If they would allow Oshawott to enter the Arbor Area in some point, he would congratulate the pair of lovers. He would wait patiently that day.

It was morning and Oshawott was walking through Cove Town. Everything looked calmly until he saw something strange, in the surroundings of the fountain there were all the royal families that came to be Snivy's boyfriend, everyone looked very worried and alarmed for something, what would it be? It was as if some tragedy happened suddenly. He heard what they said, it seemed that it had disappeared at night and no one had found it yet. What will they mean? He went to ask a royal family about what really happened.

"Excuse me, can I ask you something?"

"Oh, this is terrible! This is terrible!"

"Uh...sirs?"

"Oh, I'm sorry," said Ludicolo, king of the Wetland Area, "What do you want, young Pokémon?"

"Do you know why the Pokémon are so agitated today?"

"Oh, haven't you heard the news this morning?" prince Lombre asked.

"Uh... no, what news?"

"Didn't you know?" Ludicolo asked, "princess Snivy is missing."

"WHAAAAAAAT?!" Oshaowott was in shock when he heard the news. Is Snivy missing? Was this information true or fake? "Are you talking seriously?!"

"I'm afraid so."

"What happened?"

"Queen Serperior found empty princess Snivy's house, she wasn't there, her mother tried to search everywhere, but she was nowhere to be found. Oh, this is terrible! This is terrible!"

Oshawott broke away from them for a moment to think. So it was true that Snivy was missing and without a trace. What could have happened there in the Arbor Area so the princess disappeared?

He was walking for a while as he was in his thoughts, he didn't notice that there was a Pokémon in front of him and bumped it.

"Oops! I'm sorry, sir."

That sir was Xatu, the matchmaker to get mates that Queen Serperior had hired for her daughter.

"Oh, don't worry! It was nothing. Hey... you're the same Pokémon that I came across days ago. Uh... what is your name?"

"I'm Oshawott, sir."

"I'm Xatu, we met previously, do you remember?"

"Yeah, now I remember.
