The Prince, the Princess and the Pauper (An Amourshipping and OC Tale)

Prologue

Once upon a time in the land of Kalos there lived a good and wise king. For many years, the king ruled Kalos with wisdom and compassion for all of his subjects. Where there was once a kingdom filled with terrible poverty and the mindless desolation of war under the control of the kings before him, this king guided both the people and Pokemon of Kalos to an era of prosperity and peace. The people and their Pokemon loved the king to no end as they flourished and became very happy.

Inside the walls of the king's castle, the king ruled with utter surety. With few souls barely even remembering the dark years of violence and ruin before his reign, he began to dream that there would never again be a time where grief would befall on the people and Pokemon of Kalos forevermore until the end of the world. Determined to make that dream a reality, the king sought to it that his son, Prince Timothy would be educated in every way possible from the moment he began to speak as a child so that he would grow to be wise enough to keep the success and security when The Lord puts his father to rest.

Sadly, the good king became ill. The royal physician couldn't discover what had befallen the king nor find a cure for the illness. As a result, the king was confined to his bed and was unable to rule the kingdom. As the king grew weaker, he began to worry for the security of his bloodline for Prince Timothy had no wife to give him an heir. To ease his troubled mind, he sent messages to the ally kingdoms asking for an arranged engagement between the prince and any princess from the other kingdoms. Thus, a marriage agreement was made between Prince Timothy and Princess Serena from the kingdom of Kanto. Despite the prince's vocal disapproval of being forced into marriage, the good king became content with the planned marriage, believing it will help secure the future of the country.

Unknown to the king, however, treachery was forming under his very nose by the Captain of the Guard, Powuru, and his wicked son, Sergeant Calem. Powuru was a greedy and violent man who gained a love of bloodshed and a desire to rule the kingdom ruthlessly when he fought in the wars in his youth. Furious that the good king ended the fighting and started giving the citizens and their Pokemon food and homes, he began a plan to overthrow the monarchy and take over so that he can use his power over the country to recreate the wars and gain unchallenged glory and might through conquering the other kingdoms. Powuru shared his dreams of war and glory to Calem through all of the first twenty-four years of his life and thus the father-son duo secretly corrupted the king's guard so that they will follow Powuru unconditionally once they gain the opportunity to seize power.

Thus, the peace that the king treasured began to dissolve. Captain Powuru sought his chance and with Calem and the king's guard under his command, he began to plunder and terrorize the people and Pokemon of Kalos. His soldiers burned houses, beat citizens and stole food right off the tables of families. Worst of all, Powuru, Calem and their men forced the citizens to allow their wicked deeds by claiming this was all done by order of the king. Neither the king, Prince Timothy, his personal Pokemon, or the head of the household, Sir Markenal were made aware of the captain's tyranny. As far as they knew, the people and Pokemon in their kingdom were still happy and there was nothing to worry about apart from the king's sickness and the prince's displeasure for his future marriage to Princess Serena.

With the thieving captain causing chaos all over the country and the royal family left in the dark of his deeds, it seemed that no one could save Kalos from the great terror that will rise should the king die from his malady. The people and Pokemon of Kalos began to cry out to The Lord for salvation from the darkness spreading over the kingdom but began to lose hope that help will ever come.

Finally, a chance came that could turn the tide against the oppression. Thus began this story of adventure, friendship, deceit, and love.
