PrismaticMemories

So I’ve decided to do a little thing for Special Shipping Day. And well, I’ve decided to try and inspire others or something like that. A giveaway contest typeamajigy!

Here’s how it works, you sign up, you do your thing, you submit to dA, link it to me on this journey or on my profile age, then you win 35 !! Without actually competing against each other, it’s a guarantee win for anyone who finishes before the or on the deadline! Now if you pass the deadline, worry not! You still have until a second deadline urraay!! But on this second deadline, I’ll only be giving out 17 to the participants!

It’s very easy, don’t worry.

The Theme Is:
Your top reason for supporting the shipping Red x Yellow / Yellow x Red.

That’s right, no specific theme at all, it’s practically a free for all!

Write up or Sketch up something that is in the theme of you reason. If you support it because it’s cute, then draw or write a thing cute! Like if because they fit, or because of a friend got you into it or because of this and or that, doesn’t matter the reason for your supportation of the ship, just as long as you got one!


I have only two requirements that need to be for it to be acceptable.


If you are writing, make sure you have in swaying slanted words like this Your reason stated somewhere. At the beginning, at the end, half at the start and half at the end, or smack down in the middle. If you are drawing a thing, have your reason stated in the artist comments. Author’s this applies to you to, give a little paragraph or something explaining your reasoning~

BUT. DO NOT PROVOKE OR DRAG CONFLICTING SHIPS. WARS AND BASH IS WHAT WE MUST AVOID AT ALL COST. Don’t you agree, nee?

Do it as you please! This means, if you want to submit a drabble ((More than 300 words please)) or a sketch ((not to messy please)) Then go ahead! You still get points! If you want to go all out, make a fully colored background detailed thing or a series of four chapters, do it!  I ain’t asking for the prettiest or cutest thing, all I’m asking for is for you in your own style, in your own creativity; to remember your top reasoning ((just one)) for supporting Special/Caballero/Hero Shipping! And rekindling your passion for it maybe~!

Tablet or mouse, spell checked or not, all kinds of art accepted! Hell make a song or a melody si quieres!

Any questions, ask them below, if I missed something then let me know~

Hello! Everyone of the PokeSpe fandom who has likings in Special-Shipping! I am PrismaticMemories, the Founder of annual SS8YA, and today is officially the long waited September 28th, Special Shipping Day!

So to those who just happened to stumble upon this journal, SpecialShipping Eight Year Anniversary was an annual event that went on for three months, where fans of PokeSpe and/or SpecialShipping, spread the love of the ship as much as possible. This year was rather unsuccessful, especially when compared to last year. Black & White are the latest thing now, so I guess I should have been surprised SpecialShipping is now forgotten.

Just below are wonderful Artworks of Special/Hero/Caballero-Shipping, since only two deviants participated in the SS Spam, it's mainly just the entries for the contests. Please give it a couple ganders, and glances, some deviants had worked very hard and deserve every bit of attention~!

Escape off Mt. Silver Part 1The way the sunlight made her soft blond hair glow.
The way her gentle amber eyes would light up every time she saw him. 
The way her smile would make his worries melt away.
Her hand in his, his anchor to the world.
Her laugh, like the chiming of bells.
Red trailed his finger through the ugly gray slush of Mt. Silver which was black with soot and the result of the day's training with Charizard and Pikachu. His eyes were closed and he was sitting up against the frigid cave wall, lost in the memory of Yellow, the girl he loved who was hundreds of miles away and who he might never see again.
Struck suddenly by an idea, his crimson eyes shot open. He was tired of being alone, he was sick of the cold weather and the relentless blizzards. And he had to see Yellow.
The Kanto champion scrambled to his feet. Charizard and Pikachu shot him curious glances.
"Alright guys. Charizard. Pikachu. We're leaving."
"Pika pika!" Pikachu excitedly leaped onto his shoulder as he mounted his char Escape off Mt. Silver Part 2Red knew how hard Charizard was working. He could feel its labored breathing from where he sat on its back as they cut through the sky at a breakneck pace, Pikachu perched on his shoulder. But still he urged it on, only easing up on the speed when the large green expanse of trees came into view, signaling their arrival at Viridian Forest. Red could make his way around these parts blindfolded after coming to see Yellow so often before he... left. He still felt a sharp twinge of guilt about leaving that morning without a word to any of his friends.
Yellow's house looked small and comforting among all the trees. He knew how much she loved it here. Charizard slowly spiraled down from the sky and as soon as it landed Red jumped off its back and bounded up to the front door, rapping three times excitedly and waiting impatiently.
...No answer.
Maybe she's still sleeping, Red thought. After all, it was only nine in the morning. But he quickly pushed the thought aside. Yellow was on Escape off Mt. Silver Part 3She had known climbing Mt. Silver would be hard, but she certainly hadn't imagined that it would be this difficult. Yellow trudged up the side of the mountain, buffeted from all sides by a relentless snowy gale. One misstep and she could be toppling all the way back down to where she'd started. How can Red train up here? she thought incredulously.
She had spent the last week riding on the back of her dodrio; her only goal was to find Red. It was a long was up to the peak, but she had already come far and refused to turn back, instead turning to dauntlessly resume her climb.
It was the end of the day when she finally entered the maze-like series of caves that ran throughout the interior of the mountain. It was definitely warmer in here, but the chances of meeting wild pokémon were a lot higher.
And it was a known fact that the higher up you climbed, the stronger and meaner those pokémon got.
She proceeded with caution, keeping one hand on her pikachu's p Escape off Mt. Silver Part 4Yellow's eyes slowly fluttered open. Her head was pounding and she had a sharp pain in her chest. At first, it was difficult to focus, but she managed to make out three fuzzy figures within her line of sight, though she was unable to discern any details.
She sat in an uncomfortable position against the stony cave wall. Its jagged edges dug painfully into her back. When she tried to move her limbs, she felt thick ropes chafing her skin.
Suddenly everything came rushing back to her. Her amber eyes cleared then widened as she recognized the three people in front of her as the three people she had hoped to never see again.
"I swear that Viridian trainer from back then was a boy, Lorelei," Lance mused, stroking his chin. "I'm fairly sure you've caught the wrong person."
"I never forget a face, Lance," the ice-type trainer retorted, her red eyes flashing in annoyance. "I can't believe you didn't notice. You battled her, for goodness' sake!"
"Mmm... so the famous Yellow Amarillo is ind Escape off Mount Silver Part 5Red, Blue and Green arrived at the mountain just as Yellow was confronting the Elite Four. Looking up from the base of the mountain, the ice and snowy gales looked especially bad.
"I can't believe that Yellow is actually climbing in this weather," Blue said. Her breath clouded in the air and she tightened her coat around her.
Red said nothing, pushing away the horrifying thought of Yellow huddled somewhere in a dark corner of Mt. Silver freezing to death or being attacked by an enormous wild pokémon.
"The sooner we find Yellow the better," Green said and the threesome moved forward to commence their long, difficult trek.
As time dragged on with still no sign of Yellow, Red began to get restless. By this time they had almost reached the peak. If she got this far, she sure is a strong trainer.


That was when Green, who was in front, stopped dead.
"What? What is it? Did you find her?!" Red pushed past him and stopped dead as well.
There, in a pile of churned-up snow,
CookiesWhenever he came down from Mt. Silver, he was greeted by seemingly thousands of screaming girls who had heard of his exploits and wanted to meet the amazing Red and hear about his spectacular adventures fighting evil and a good portion of them just wanted to feel his abs. Not that there really was anything wrong with this, he would muse to himself, they were just treating him like a hero because they respected him and because they liked his bravery.
Still they were there, and they changed too, there were always different fangirls, and some of the same ones (he had to give them credit for devotion; he’s been to that mountain at least a dozen times), and a lot of them still give him treats and what-not, obviously made in a rush and thrown in a basket with silly ribbons and presented with a cheesy white smile.
He took them without a word and politely said thank you as they squealed in delight.

There she sat, her sun golden hair swaying in the wind and her topaz colored eyes gazing down at the fields of flowers that swarmed around her. Trying to touch her skin and feel her presence. Her name, Yellow,  a young girl of 17. Her beauty was natural as the flowers she molded into a crown with her faithful Pikachu, Chu Chu.  
“Look Chu Chu, I finished it! “ She declared proudly, a smile on her bright face.
“Pika pi!” replied Chu Chu, sniffing at the flower crown and squealing with joy.
Yellow giggled at her little Pikachu, placing the crown on her head. “It looks good on you”
Again, Chu chu squealed. Yellow smiled at her Pikachu, looking up at the sky, grabbing her sketch book and began to draw upon its pages. What you ask? Why, the champion of the Kanto region of course, Red. She and Red, as many of you know, have been great friends since Yellow was young. He was even the one who helped her captur Ch: 2 Hoping for YouTwo monthCh: 2 Hoping for You
Two months passed since Yellow last saw Red. For her, it was truly a difficult time. She tried desperately to occupy her mind. She’s went shopping with Blue, Capturing with Crystal, Making clothes with Ruby, Even training with Green. Even so, she couldn’t deny that her precious Red-san was constantly on her mind. He never called her
Then again, they said that no news is good news.... right?
The rain was falling heavily today, the rainy season in Viridian had started, and it appeared to have hit the ground running. The wind was violent and the rain was strong. Thankfully for Yellow, she was inside with her pokemon.
“The rain’s pretty strong today....” she mumbled to herself
I hope Red-san is okay...
Chuchu tried her hardest to keep Yellow happy. After all, she understood how Yellow felt. Red’s Pikachu, Pika was her mate. She missed him just as much as Yellow missed Red.
“Pikachu?” She said, tugging on her trainer

First day of Autumn (2005)In this world, there are creatures called Pokémons. Not all of them are animals, some of them were created from pollution, machines, by accident or for an experiment. In this world, there are humans who catch, raise, and sometimes battle with these creatures. They are normally called Tamers, but there are a few sets of humans who gives themselves different names. Fighter, Trainer, Evolver, Healer, Exchanger, Capturer, Coordinator, Battler, Tracker, Analyzer, Advocator and many many more names.
In a place called The Raines Forest, there a hidden manor, and inside are a group of trainers who calls themselves the Dexholders. Among these tamers is a female with maize long hair tied up in a ponytail. Her title was Healer, and her name was Yellow. She grabbed three khaki folders and walked to the opposite direction. As she passed through, a young man couldn’t help but let his eyes follow her to the door nearby.
He had black hair with three spikes shooting up from his skull. The Hello, Elekid!When I was younger, I never liked August. It reminded me of all the dark things in this world, and in my heart.
I always got depressed around august, I try my best to hide it though.
Sometimes someone special would see right through my smile.
But now, I don’t get depressed anymore. The darkness in my heart will always be there. I can’t change that.
Pokémons around the world will always die because of the weather, there was nothing I could do about that.
It may be selfish, but I don’t get sadden anymore. When I do, I just remember what else happened,
At the beginning of autumn.
And that was….
A tall black haired man walked lightly on the carpet floor. He had on a black shirt with blue baggy jeans, his eyes were an warm autumn color that glowed just slightly orange underneath direct light. He had just finished getting down the steps and was heading into the kitchen on the right side. There he saw a blonde woman who’s hair was golden under the Your smile is my PresentWhen you find out that something you’ve known your entire life is not what it is.
Everything around you doesn’t make sense anymore.
Things that made perfect sense gets pulled into question.
Questions you never asked starts getting demanded.
Things you thought were lies starts looking like the truth.
Because the truth you knew, was a lie.
So doesn’t that make the lie you knew, the truth?
A sigh came from the Fighter. His black spiky bangs covered his eyes as he laid flat on his back on his bed. He doesn’t spend much time in his room, therefore it looks practically the same from seven years ago. Masayoshi Red couldn’t get his thoughts straight. Everything was jumbled up, he kept seeing flashes of a curtained sadden blonde, and kept hearing her words in a disorientated faded manner. He wasn’t sure if he was awake anymore, everything felt like a soft nightmare. He sighed again, feeling a headache sneaking in his mind.
Red sat up on his bed, his ev First Literacy PirateLiteracy.
In a place called Pallet Town, where the grass shines a mantis color, and the forest has never been polluted, was a couple of houses in a neighborhood. In one of the house had a mail box labeled ‘Okido’. Inside the house was a young male with black spikes for hair. He wore baggy jeans and a plain white tee shirt. “Hey Green!”
A sigh was heard not too far from the where the black haired male stood. After hearing the sigh, he walked towards it and successfully located his friend Okido Green. The brunet’s hair was the very definition of spiky, he wore a black collar shirt and tight khaki jeans. “What is it?” The brunet didn’t see all that pleased to see his friend Masayoshi Red.
“Oh well, I wanted to see if you wanted to hang out today.” Red smiled, hoping that his ex-rival would relinquish his boredom.
Green took a moment to think, he then leaned forward in his chair and picked up a book from the desk he

2. Love.     Yellow was daydreaming, again. She was at her little hut-like house in Viridian Forest. The place was filled with snow now, it was Winter, so most people would visit their families at this time of year.
     Yellow's uncle was out on a trip fishing, so right now she had the little house to herself.
     Yellow herself was sitting by the fire in a cheezy red and green striped sweater. Also, she had long black jeans on for a change and had red and green socks on as well, she was in the spirit this year waiting for the holidays. She sighed in bliss as her daydream continued.
     What was she dreaming about? Well it's a certain red-eyed trainer, he has spiky black hair, is oblivious as heck, do I need to say it? Well it's Red, I said it anyways, deal with it. She closed her eyes dreamily as she thought of him. Right as she seemed in perfect bliss, she heard the ring of the doorbell.
     "A-ahh! I'm coming, please hold on a second!" she quickly yelled as she stumbled up, avoiding the CE - FogHis head hurts.
It's the first thing Red is aware of when he opens his eyes. A killer headache, he decides.
Groggily pulling himself up, he looks around blearily. Wait. No, he doesn't. First Red throws up a little, gripping on to a tree as his vision swims. Then he looks around. Not that it does a lot of good.
The entire forest (at least he assumes it is, with so many trees) is coated with a thick fog, covering the scenery around him.
Red groans as his head pounds furiously. A brief thought of slamming his head against the tree flashes, but he realises just in time that really wouldn't help.
He can't think though. Maybe it's because his brain is breaking down inside his skull. Probably. Possibly.
First things first. Red pauses. He has no idea what comes first. Well, his head might not, but his body seems to have an idea of what to do. He takes a step forwards. Then falls.
Red swears as he stumbles. just about catching himself in time. He's pretty sure that he's better than this. 7. HeavenYellow opens her eyes, and the first thing she sees is complete darkness. Despite the dark, the world still feels like it's twirling away. She swallows roughly, her throat protesting harshly to the action, burning.
Her head stops spinning, and the woman starts to sit up slowly. At the first touch of the ground, her hand springs away, feeling something damp and sticky with a texture of hard flakes in it. Tenderly, she places both hands beside her, pushing her somewhat numb body upwards.
She wonders briefly if she's gone blind. Nothing is visible, so it's either that or there's no light source whatsoever here. Yellow blinks, until faint objects come into her vision.
'Too dark...'
She coughs slightly to clear her voice, which doesn't appear to be working. Her throat aches with thirst, her tongue feeling heavy and dry. It burns in response to each cough.
"Is anyone here?" Yellow speaks, blinking several times to look for something, anything. No sounds answer her, and the woman feels
SpecialShipping 100 Theme Collab Theme 9--DriveAugust 4, 2013. The newlywed Red and Yellow stepped out of Hong Kong International Airport for their weeklong honeymoon. Much to Yellow’s surprise, Red got themselves a convertible upon their arrival. The Fighter is pretty clear that he wants to impress his wife with his driving. The couple also isn’t fond of the crowding rapid transit Hong Kong has. Luckily for him, Hong Kong is also a left-hand drive like Japan. But unfortunate for him, the drive itself in the city is not going to give him a very good day.
Honk! Honk-honk-honk! Honk~!
“God, can they just stop the horn!? I’m trying to concentrate here!” Red annoyingly groaned at the countless trucks behind him at the container port checkpoint. One minute before he was cruising along Tsing Kwai Highway (青葵公路), driving toward the Western Harbour Crossing (西區過海隧道), and one minute later, a wrong turn led him straight into the SpecialShipping 100 Theme Collab Theme 54--Tower“Hey Red, are you afraid of height?”
Yellow asked out of the blue from the balcony of their hotel suite in Wan Chai. It was August 6, 2013, the third day of Red and Yellow’s honeymoon in Hong Kong, China. ChuChu sat on the railings next to her Trainer, while Pika slept soundly on one of the bed. Red sat by a table in the room, he turned to his newlywed wife with slight confusion.
“No, not really…” Red shrugged. “Why do you ask?”
“It’s because there’s a place I really want to go, but I’m worried that you are scared…” Yellow shyly replied.
Red gave out a wryly laugh and thumped his chest. “How can I be afraid of height when I’m not even afraid of death!?”
“That’s very brave, but…” Yellow sweat dropped with a forced smile. “Can you please don’t say it that way again? You’re making me very nervous about your recklessness.”
Red sweat SpecialShipping 100 Theme Collab Theme 87--FoodRed’s birthday happened to be smack in the middle of his honeymoon with Yellow in Hong Kong. And today, the couple decided on something they usually don’t do: eat around the city as celebration.
“So!” Red smacked his hand and shouted. “Where should we start?”
His wife just got off the phone with Max, asking advice from their Hong Konger junior. In fact, it was his suggestion for the couple to visit his hometown as honeymoon in the first place.
“Max just gave me a list of places he recommends,” Yellow replied with a handwritten memo on her hand. “Maybe we should start close and easy with…”

"Hey Redddy~~!" Blue loudly cheered into my ears as she glomped me from behind. "Can I ask you a question?" "What?" "You like Yellow right~?" Blue teasingly whispered into my ear as my face grew to the color of my name. "Knew it~! Look Red, I got a plan. We can pretend to date and see if it makes Yellow jealous! If she does, that mean she likes you, if she doesn't, that means she doesn't like you! Whadayaa say?" Blue told Red "the Plan". But her real plan was to make him fall in love with her during the process, or just do lovey dovey stuff when they "date". "Uhmm, Blue, I don't if this is a good id-Of course it is. It's by me!

HILLO AAAND WELCOME! To you all!

I, PrismaticMemories am happy to announce that this year, Special-Shipping-Eight-Year-Anniversary is UP and RUNNING! This is a charity type of project I created alone last year. And I am keeping my word in making this an annual event, however! I do hope no one expects me to pay them for contributing to their fandom. Otherwise this year will be very unsuccessful and a maaaajor disappointment. Let's try to avoid that kiddies and SPAM ALL THE FEELS!

Now some of you are new, and some of you aren't. For those who were here last year, the only main difference is that I will not be commissioning any of you for I find it unfair that I have to pay you to contribute you something for your fandom. For those who have no idea what SS8YA is, fear not! For I have written down the rules and basic information you'll need to know. Along with a personal Q&A. HOLD IT! Before you scroll down, if you have any questions what so ever and you didn't see it written below, then don't be shy and ask away!

There is no limit, you can make as many FanFics and FanPics as you want. The ones submitted on June 14th to September 28th will be counted as SS8YA spam.

Do I have to tag my work?
Yes. It is the only way for me to find it, unless you link it to me.

If I have a question, who do I ask?
You ask the founder of SS8YA (PrismaticMemories)

I'm not fond of you, but I would like to take part.
This is an open event, your disliking towards me or my disliking towards you will not be effected in anything you do. Unlike most people I am professional and can keep my personal life away from my professional life.

How much can I donate?
As much as you want.

I saw two people having a shipping war, what do I do?
Alert me, I will asset the situation.

What is SS8YA?
SpecialShipping Eight Year Anniversary is an event made to celebrate Hero/Special/Caballero-Shipping day and it's years of being canon.

Why did you create SS8YA if you hate it so much?
Someone had too. I'm doing it for the fandom and fans of this shipping. I'm the only one who's willing to spend my paycheck on points to try and pull this off.

What happens if we don't get over 50 deviations?
SS8YA will be shut down for the lack of specialshipping fans.

I have an event idea for SS8YA!
Note me, I'll analyze, depending how solid it is, I'll give you the founding's to run it.


What is the Special Collaboration?

The Annual Contests!
The contests are now UP and RUNNING!! YAAAY!! Oh no! They're lacking prizes, if you have anything you want to donate, go ahead and do so! Anyways, moving right along. As their way to contributing to SS8YA, both groups that supports Special/Hero/Caballero-Shipping made a contest to help with the spam process! Let me just explain a few things here though. 1) Both groups are making their SEPARATE donations. This mean you cannot and may not combine both themes and submit it to both contests. No one likes a lazy cheater, you learned this in the first grade and forget the next day apparently. 2) Entering the contest does not mean you've entered SS8YA spam count. If you want to be included in the glorious spam count you must contribute something H/S/C-S that is not dedicated to the contest.

Now! They are in major need of contestants! Pick a theme you like and if you like both you can enter both and you just might win both~

"Weather" -> fav.me/d69doxo
"First" -> fav.me/d69dpk3

---

That's basically it! Starting now! (June 14th) SpecialShipping Eighth Year Anniversary is now UP and RUNNING!! Any questions please don't be afraid to ask. I ask that you encourage others to join and advertise this event a little~ remember the most important rule; Have Fun!

"NOW! LET THE SPAM BEGIN!"
"GET YOUR LAZY BUTT UP HERE AND LETS DROWN THIS PLACE GO GO GO"

~Hello Hello! Yes it may seem like I'm doing too many contest however I wanted this contest to have more participants so I'm giving a longer deadline than just one 25 days. As you know! Our favorite Heroine from PokéSpe short for Pokémon Special -A manga created by Hidenori Kasuka and illustrated by Mato for the first nine volumes and Yamamoto for the rest- Birthday is on March 3rd.

That's right!

March 3rd.

As fans! We cannot let this slide so easily. And so I'm making a little contest/event thing! Since I know the fandom dose not participant in events if they get nothing, I'm forced to make this into a contest. However for all entries I get I will give 5 points to each deviant! This is how things will go; there will be 4 winners.

The Yellow Winner.

The Blue Winner.

The Red Winner.

The Green Winner.

The Silver Winner.

The Gold Winner.


The Yellow Winner is technically first place! If you receive a link and it sends you to a picture completely covered in yellow than congrats! You get first pick! There will be four main prizes, the Yellow winner gets to pick one of them first. The Blue winner gets to pick second, the Red winner gets to pick third and the Green winner gets stuck with the last one~ now that you know the basic, let's get to the important stuff!


Contest Theme: Princess Yellow/Amarillo.

Deadline: March 2nd Eastern Time Zone.

Who can enter?
Writers and Drawers! As long as you're a fan of PokéSpe!

Are shippings allowed?
Indeed they are! It can be Special, Viridian, Mentor, Jade, Amber, Thunder it can be any shipping as long Yellow is apart of! It can even be a foursome or threesome~ I'm not picky.

Is angst allowed?
Heaven to the YES!! Any genre is allowed! Whether your entry is the most fluffy or has a someone dying will not effect your score so don't be shy and don't be scare do whatever you want!

Dose it need to have a shipping?
Hell to the NO! shippings are optional it will NOT effect your score. Yellow can be alone or it can be her with friends only or even Pokémons only! All I want and all I need to count this as an Entry is Yellow and the theme of Princess.

What do you mean by Princess Yellow?
I mean that you can have someone treat her like a princess all day. Or it can be some Alternate Universe where she is already a princess! Not a PRINCE a PrinCESS. Don't be like me//shot. Blue can blackmail all the guys into treating Yellow like a princess all day or she can be feeling depressed and her love interest can treat her like one or she can feel like one doesn't matter really. As long as Yellow is being treated like one, or Yellow IS one. Or Yellow is BECOMING one. Hell it can be as if she's a lost princess locked in a tower or something! Or she cane be Snow White or Mulan or Aurora or Jasmine really, a crossover I wont mind so much. Or she taking a Princess' place won't mind and YES Alice from Alice in the wonderland is considered a Princess you can even do Myths! I'm sure there are princess in the Myths somewhere hell you can make up a Princess name for her or do it like some sort of pirates world thing. Really Anything as long as she's a princess okay? ^^ if you have anymore questions about the theme please don't be afraid to ask! <3

Can I have my head canon/Ocs in the picture/fanfic?
Of. Course. Heaven yes! Express and embrace you're head canon!

Can there be more than one entry?
HEAVENS YES!!! ALL THE YES!! There are NO limitations to how many entries you can do! You can make 50 and I wouldn't mind!

I don't like you, but I want to enter…
That's fine, you can enter, I'm a judge, my personal opinion about you or any personal issues we might have will not effect your score nor will I treat you less than I treat the others okay? I can be civil, if you can. Also, if you think I hate you than I would have blocked you so if you're not blocked, I don't hate you kay? ^^

Why Princess?
Well son/daughter//shot.
In Japan, aka where Yellow is originally from. There is this holiday called "Hinamasturi." And if you recall in your childhood, Jessie and Misty were treated like Princess at the Doll Festival! Since the holiday is on March 3rd I decided that Princess was a good theme ^^

Will the Theme/Contest be use next year?
Yes, it will be, I wil make this into an annual contest and maybe have better prizes as well more of a theme! So if you miss this contest, don't worry I'll be doing it again next year.

I wanna write a smut/draw some porn for the contest, can I?
Yes and No. no because it goes against the dA Policy. However you can submit the pic to tumblr and the fanfic on FF.net and I will count it as bonus and you will be rewarded for the effort.

Specialshipping - Just for tonightRed.
You're princess, I'm your loyal servant.
My father has told me for several times that I was born to protect her. It's my job to die for her sake, to be by her side whenever she needs. I'm her bodyguard.
Nothing more… nothing less. Not that I need to change our status.
A mere bodyguard has no right to ask for a princess's love. Not that I need her love. I know she cares for me.
For me… just being by her side is enough for me. I don't feel that I need more.
She is a princess. She must be strong and determined in front of the King (I refuse to call him her Father… for personal reasons.), her citizens.
But I know better than that. I know what is under her cover. She is still a little girl, too young, too fragile. She only cries and shows her sorrow in front of me. She has a bright smile… I must protect her smile, her happiness…
If only she could understand my heart…
No.
I have told myself. I may be her childhood friClarithTaylor
Louder Than WordsHe was late. Again. And he knew it. Red tore through the thick undergrowth that seemed to go on endlessly. He only stopped when he saw traces of brilliant white sunlight filtering through the tree branches just up ahead. Shielding his crimson eyes with one hand and bending back branches with the other, he stepped into a glorious green meadow where a blazing blue sky poured down torrents of light.
She was kneeling by a sparkling river, trailing her slender fingers though the rushing water and watching the magikarp swim past. Her hair glowed golden in the sunlight and her cheeks were flushed pink because of the heat. She wore a pure white dress that splayed out around her knees where she knelt. To Red, Yellow had never looked more beautiful.
At the sound of rustling leaves, she turned, and, upon seeing Red, her face broke into a radiant smile.
Red felt his heart skip a beat. "Sorry I'm late, Your Highness," was all he could think to say. His thoughts always jumbled up when he was aroundWinterLilly12

CE - Royal Treatment"Probably about...six days," the doctor says, looking her straight in the eyes. "There's no real way to tell, but no more than nine days." An overwhelming coldness washes over the girl and she starts to shake.
"S-si..." she whispers, tears already falling. The doctor tells her that he's sorry. Her head shakes slowly as a response but that's only because she's too devastated to cry out 'what does an apology do'.
Yellow is seventeen when she's told how long she has left to live.
"But I'm fine..." she tells the doctor when he persists on the testing he wants to do. The man tells her that even though she feels fine now, later on she'll be in a much worse state without the tests. Yellow gives in.
Then the tests come back and suddenly Yellow doesn't feel fine anymore.
"I thought...I felt fine..." the girl stutters, starting to tremble.

Yellow - Flashback-Forward 
Title: Flashback-Forward.
 
Princess of a doomed country, what do you need anymore? You’re in your enemy’s hands. But ironically, you feel contented… At least, you have time to think of your life.
 
“Tomorrow, you will be executed.” The harsh voice of a male announced to you. You nodded uncaringly, playing with your long and tangled blonde hair. How can you care? You are their prisoner, they can do whatever they want. Killing you is a way, and it’s certainly better than be stuck in the prison.
 
Honestly, it’s what you are waiting for. You have no reason to live. Even if you die, the Princess of a doomed Kingdom will be free. In the past, you mustn’t say a word about freedom. But now your country is gone. Not that you love your country. This is the place you detest the most. But sometimes, it hurt to think of your “old home.”
 
You have no regret, either. What is the meaClarithTaylor

Starlit WishesHer feet shuffled from side to side. She moved across the floor, gliding as if on air. His arm on the small of her waist, and his bated breath in her ear. He lifted her up, and spun round and round. Laughter surrounded the halls.

A click. The door silently opened, and closed. She leaned against the back of it, and played with her fingers smiling sadly. Another day, another twenty-four hours gone. The small blonde’s smile turned a little wider. She sat down on her lone bean bag, before pulling out her picture book and skimming through it.
Memories entrapped in thin pieces of paper. That was one of her friends had once called them. And as she flipped through the pages, the truth of the words became truer. Countless pages were looked through, as she idly revived her joyful days as a senior.
Her fingers stopped. Hazel eyes blinked. A rather large photo was attached to the back of the book, seemingly too long to fit in the rest of the album. Yellow pulled it out, carKittyKatLovesBooks
Special: Of Fantasy's and Princess'sA young blonde awoke in a strange bed. She could have sworn she was in her house in Viridian Forest but the place she was in was much more... grand? The walls were stone and and various banners. The floor was wooden and had a rug made of wool on it. She took a few steps towards the window and saw the ocean in view and thick forests. She than had a realization moment.
I'm in Pallet Castle... wait... I'M IN PALLET CASTLE WAHHH!!! .
She began freaking out in her head. How in the world did she get here? When? How?
She was stopped by a woman taller than her barging in the room. She had ocean blue eyes and a sly grin.
"B-blue-san?" was all the small girl could push out of her lips without freaking out.
"Yup now..." Blue said revealing something and showed a long dress from behind her back. "You are now a princess~!"
"Wait- WHAT?!!??!" Yellow said freaking out. she began breathing really fast holding her chest.

Amarillo    PRINCESSES MUST NOT SLUMP.
    Yellow let out a deep, bored sigh and slid down in her seat at the dining hall table. She uncrossed her legs and stretched them out as much as the person seating in front of her would allow her. Resting her elbows on the arms of the chair, she enjoyed having her head the same height of the table.
    PRINCESSES MUST NOT PLAY WITH HER GARMENTS, ACCESSORIES, OR HAIR.
    She couldn’t help but begin fiddling with the bows decorating her dress. They were bright pink and evenly tied around her waist. The frills on her dress were begging to be messed with. Yellow lifted each frill one by one, giggling as she reached her knees with the frills above going to opposite direction. When she got bored of doing this, she replaced the frills how they originally were, and began twirling her blonde locks that were coincidentally tied back for this purpose of her not to play with them.
