the prince and the popper

chapter 1- the birth of the prince and the popper

IN the ancient city of littleroot, on a certain autumn day in the second quarter of the twentieth century, a pokemon was born to a poor family of the name of chansey, who did not want him. on the same day another hoenn pokemon was born to a rich family of the name of torkoal, who did want him. all hoenn wanted him too. hoenn had so longed for him, and hoped for him, and prayed God for him, that, now that he was really come, the pokemon went nearly mad for joy. Mere acquaintances hugged and kissed each other and cried. everybody took a holiday, and high and low, rich and poor, feasted and danced and sang, and got very mellow; and they kept this up for days and nights together. By day, Littleroot was a sight to see, with gay banners waving from every balcony and housetop, and splendid pageants marching along. by night, it was again a sight to see, with its great bonfires at every corner, and its troops of revelers making merry around them. there was no talk in all Hoenn but of the new baby, entei torkoal, prince of wailords, who lay lapped in silks and satins, unconscious of all this fuss, and not knowing that great lords and ladies were tending him and watching over him- and not caring, either. but there was no talk about the other baby, totodile chansey, lapped in his poor rags, except among the family of poppers whom he had just come to trouble with his presence.

MEET THE CHARACTERS!

though his name is totodile, he is not a totodile at all; but a spoink! nicknamed the ‘popper’ by his peers, he greatly troubles his poor family.

the prince of wailords (wales), he is the son of the king, fortunate to have been born into such a wealthy family.

Quick question: Am I going blind, or does someone suddenly see a resemblance between a Spoink and an Entei?

xD it was because of their names, i was going to make the prince a skitty (ohmy goodness), but his name was Edward Tudor. entei torkoal, was the closest thing.

tom canty, totodile chansey. :P

But the whole point of the story is that they looked the same, not that their names could be twisted into a famous person from our world :P

i know. but that was the original. the pauper in this story is a spoink, and he 'pops' by bouncing up and down.
