✔️Pokemon: Cinderella (May x Drew) (Contestshipping)

Episode 12: The Ceremony and Proposal

"Everyone! Everyone! The Prince is coming today! He is making an announcement! He is in the center of the town!" Someone shouted as everyone stopped what they were doing and ran toward the town's center to see what the Prince was up to. Perhaps the Prince had found the One for him?

Everyone was excited. Girls are squealing when they see the Prince and screaming at him for his attention. Gary, Ash, and Paul were standing beside Prince Drew while Misty, Leaf, Dawn, and May were behind them. May was wearing a wig and eye contacts so no one will recognize her.

Lady Trancy and Lady Brianna, along with Lord Kenny and Lord Brendan were within the crowd, wondering what was going on. The Prince usually didn't go to the town center or make an announcement without notice beforehand. Lady Trancy and Lady Brianna were shopping when they heard the news and Lord Kenny and Lord Brendan were searching for the missing girls. It was a surprise to Lady Trancy, Lady Brianna, Lord Kenny, and Lord Brendan to find Lady Dawn was standing behind the Prince in a beautiful pink and purple dress. Lady Brianna looks at her younger sister with jealousy.

"Why does she have to be the one standing beside my Prince? I am the one for him!" Brianna thought as she glared at Dawn.

Everyone quiets down as Prince Drew holds up his left hand. Everyone looks at him with interest and curiosity.

Prince Drew looks at everyone before he speaks in a clear voice. "My citizens, today I am here to make an announcement. I am sorry for not giving out a heads up first but this announcement is crucial. Today, I am here with Gary Oak, Ash Ketchum, and Paul Shinji. They have been with me since I remember. They show great loyalty to me. As of today, I am going to have a new department, the Three Musketeers. They will be my personal bodyguard and close to me. They will lead to wars and battles and show great strength."

Misty handed Prince Drew his sword and Paul, Ash, and Gary kneel before him on their left knee and their right hand over their chest. Prince Drew touches Gary on his left shoulder with the end of his sword.

"Gary Oak, would you promise me to do your duties to protect the citizens and the kingdom with all your might?" Prince Drew asked.

"I, Gary Oak, swear to protect the kingdom and always be loyal. I will protect the ones I love and are important to me until my death," Gary said. Prince Drew goes to Ash and does the same process.

"Do you, Ash Ketchum, swear to protect the kingdom and your loyalty?" Prince Drew asked.

"I, Ash Ketchum, swear to protect the kingdom and the ones who are important to me," Ash vowed. Prince Drew moves on to Paul with the same process.

"Do you, Paul Shinji, swear your loyalty to your kingdom and protect it?" Prince Drew asked.

"I, Paul Shinji, swear my body to protect the kingdom until my death," Paul replies.

"Then I will name you the Three Musketeers." Prince Drew said as he left his sword and handed it to Misty. Misty gets the sword. Ash, Gary, and Paul all stand up and bow.

"Thank you, Your Highness," they said.

The villagers all look in shock before cheering proudly at their new heroes. Paul, Ash, and Gary look at the crowd. The girls in the crowd look at them in awe and shout their name to get their attention but Gary already was kissing Leaf, who is blushing and smiling happily, Ash was with Misty, hugging each other, and Dawn and Paul with a look at each other.

"Well, congratulations Paul," Dawn said.

"Thank you," Paul replies.

"What are you two waiting for? Your big moment! Kiss already!" May exclaimed as she pushed Dawn toward Paul which got them off guard and their lips connected. Everyone stops and looks at them.

"Oops. I think I push them a little too hard," May whispers to Leaf and Misty, who giggles.

Dawn and Paul quickly pull away and look away from each other with red blushing cheeks, which make them look adorable and cute.

The announcement was soon over and everyone began to leave. When Prince Drew and the servants get to the castle, Dawn and Paul glared at May.

"Why did you do that? It was so embarrassing!" Dawn exclaimed.

"I am just trying to help!" May replied.

"That does not involve pushing people to kiss!" Dawn said.

"But you look like you want to!" May retorted.

"But not there! In front of everyone!" Dawn replies.

"But I don't like to see other people want to kiss your 'boyfriend'," May said with a smirk.

"What should I do to you?" Dawn sighed.

"You can thank me by getting married to Paul and give me a niece or nephew, or maybe both," May replies with a smile and a finger under her chin, thinking.

"Why are you talking about children already?" Dawn exclaimed, earning giggles from Misty and Leaf.

"Never mind my last comment then but I still keep that in mind," May said as she skipped to the greenhouse to do her job. Dawn sighed as she walked back to her room.

"Having children with Paul, hm?" Dawn questioned in her head as she blushed at the thought.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door and Dawn rushed to open the door. Paul was standing there, wearing his new attire and smiling at Dawn, which made her blush even harder.

"What are you doing here, Paul?" Dawn asked as she looked at Paul from head to toe.

"I was wondering if you want to go out with me to celebrate today," Paul said.

"Yea, sure," Dawn replied as she stepped out of her room and closed it in the process as she walked out with Paul.

They walk down, hand in hand to the hills that overlook the kingdom. The sun was setting, forming a kind of pink and purple color in the air. Dawn looked at it in awe.

"Do you remember how we first met?" Paul asked. Dawn nodded in response.

Dawn would never forget the day they met. It was like fate. Dawn was on the same hill they were at and was trying to catch her Piplup until she bumps into Paul who was trying to find Prince Drew.

"You were so rude to me at that time," Dawn said.

"Well, you are not like the other girls. You just glare at me and scold at me for being rude," Paul said.

"Well, look at how far we have come," Dawn said.

"Yea..." Paul said as he looked at Dawn. After a few moments of silence, Paul called, "Dawn?"

"Yes, Paul?" Dawn asked.

"I know this is sudden," Paul started as he kneels down on one knee and takes out a ring decorated with pink and blue diamonds and holds it toward Dawn, "but will you marry me? I promise to keep you happy and protect you. I may be a normal person now but I swear I will change."

Dawn looks at Paul with tears in her eyes as she takes his hands. "Paul, of course, I will marry you. You don't have to change or anything. Being yourself and being with you is all I wanted."

Paul smiles and stands up, sliding the ring onto Dawn's finger. Dawn looks at it with a smile before they share a sweet kiss.
