Romantic Hex Story

>Is a stormy day, and you are inside a huge forest
>As thunder and cold wind hits and moves the trees around, you are running trying to seek shelter
>The storm doesn't look that it will get better. If anything, it looks it will get worse
>But luck hasn't abandoned you yet! A house can be seen from afar!
>You run towards it, but you notice it isn't in the best condition, and wonder if the house is scarier than the outside
>The roaring of the wind and lighting settles your mind though: it's better to be inside a small spot rather than face the rain alone
>You open the door with one shove, and close it just as fast
>You shake up most of the water on you, and start looking around your surroundings
>Generic old spooky home: spider webs, dust everywhere, a creepy stairwell taking you to the upper floor, unlight candles
>Hmmm, maybe you'll find a Ghost pokemon or some loot
>When you try to move forward, you feel something pulling your shirt
>"You...."
>Fear finally sets up, and you shiver up as you look behind
>Pale skin, shining bright as the covered moon, only a wide smile showing teeth
>"You are the one."
>A loud thunder spooks you, screaming and trying to run from the weird shape
>But your escape failed; you tripped and passed out

>"...."
>"....ke u...."
>"...se wak..... up....."
>"Please! Wake up!"
"Uah!!!"
>You rise up quickly. The monster can be close!
>You try to gather faster, but everything is still wobbly
>Your body betrays you again, but this time you managed to just kneel
>You rise your view, to find the weird shape
>You cannot outrun it. Whatever that is, is the last thing you'll see
>"Um.... are you alright?"
>Your eyes start to adjust to the darkness
>The wobbly shape starts to show texture, shades, and colors. It's a person, a girl to be precise
>You look at her clothing: one long dark purple dress. Her hair is a mess, and her eyes, while penetrating and intimidating, show kindness and mercy
>A Hex Maniac
"Eh, yeah, I'm fine."
>The girl sighs in relief
>"Sorry if I scared you. I though you were someone else."
>You rise from the floor
"Someone else? Who? Nobody would come to this area of the forest. Not unprepared, at least."
>She is just in her bag now, reading a very weathered book
"Having mentioning that, what are you doing here? I didn't even knew there was a house here."
>She is still stuck in her book
>You cough a bit louder, it worked
>"Huh?"

"Sorry for interrumping you, but why are you here?"
>She puts away the book
>"Um... is just... I was trying to..."
>You raise one eyebrow, faking interest
>"I wanted to call a friend."
"Call a friend? You dont have a Pokenav or a Rotomcell? A Pokegear at least."
>She blushes and avoids your gaze
"Look, if you need a phone, here's mine. Maybe you can-"
>No signal
"Forget about it, it doesn't work now. I can't even use my map."
>You two end in silence, only the rain hitting the old wood of the manor.
"... When this mansion showed up? I never heard there was a building around this forest."
>"Oh, is just hidden. Look."
>The Hex shows you an old map
>"My book said there was an abandones place in the forest. It is said that many came to this place, and their dreams became true."
"Sounds very... convenient."
>"How so?"
"Well, truth be told: I came to this forest for a couple of bug pokemon. The next gym uses Psychic types, and I wanted to have the advantage. But then it started raining, so I had to hide somewhere. Personally, I was hoping for a cave, not a big manor."
>"Ah."
"And you came to call a friend?"
>She blushes again
>"Not exactly."
"Why?"

"It's... I don't have friends."
>Oh no, time for personal baggage
>"I never had friends... everybody looks at me scared or creeped out, or they say I smell like dirt and ash. It's not ash, is incense!"
"Is fine, is fine. I like incenses too."
>She looks at you with a glint in her eyes
>"Y-YOU DO?!"
"Calm down, only to get a few special eggs."
>"But you use them..."
>She starts to come close to you, a very unnerving grin on her face
>"... friend."
"Eh, no, I think..."
>"Yes... friend..."
>She pulls out her book again, flips a few pages, and reads aloud
>"[Those who come to the insides of the abandoned manor will have their wish granted]; and you came here... is faith..."
>Now she is very close to you, and you can assure her eyes are spinning hypnotically
>"You are The One. You are The Friend. MY FRIEEEEEEEND...."
>You manage to gather your senses, and push her away. You touch her forehead with your index and push her softly
"Woah, calm down, this was just only a coincidence, I was just around the forest, and it was raining. You only happened to be here, ok?"
>She is ignoring you, patting the place you touched
>"Uhuhu, I got a friend, my friend touched me, we are friends..."
"Eh... yeah. I'll check this place anyway, looks like the rain won't stop soon. You can stay here and do... whatever."
>"Huh, but this place is big, will you be fine alone?"
"I have my team, and I can deal with Ghost types just fine."
>*BROOOOOOM!!!!!*
"..."
>"..."
"Considering deeply our situation, I can use an ally. You should follow me, just to make sure you are fine."
>If you were playing triple triad, you could be a regional champion with your poker face. Truth be told, you are shitting enough bricks to rebuild ORRE from the ground up
>"Yay! Travelling with my friend!"

>The noise of the storm is barely muffled inside these walls, and the darkness surrounding the place doesn't help a lot
>You don't even have a pokemon to use Flash. And even if you did, you don't have the TM
>Who was the guy who removed the HMs? It was a bad idea!
>At least you aren't alone. You are accompanied by a Hex Maniac
>She is just rubbing her face on your left arm, as she clings to it
>Cute, but a bit annoying
"Not to ruin your fun, but can you let go off my arm?"
>"No! You are my friend, and you will be mine forever..."
"It's just that-"
>The moment you look at her, she looks straight at your eyes, with her hypnotic gaze
>"F-O-R-E-V-E-R"
"Just relax, ok? It's not like I can run somewhere."
>You pat her head. Looks like that was enough to let your arm go, touching the area you touched before
"You really have no friends? Not even family?"
>"My younger sister used to live with me, but then she returned home with our parents."
"Oh yeah?"
>"Yes. They said they didn't liked I was teaching her hexes and enchanments."
"Unless she wants to be a Hex like you, I don't think she will have much use for those things. Does she use a type in specific?"
>"She likes Fairy types."
"Good, good. Cute, strong, keep Dragons at bay. She will be fine with them."
>"But, are Ghosts that bad?"
>She looks gloom at your opinion
"No! No, I mean, Ghosts are fine. I mean, the Ghastly line would be a gamble in the gym I will go, but with Dark moves, I bet I can win easily. Ghost types are very bulky, and can handle attacks."
>Hex looks a bit happier

>You two have been walking around the big manor. Sadly, there wasn't much to find
>A few color pieces, one strange plate, and one Magmarizer
>Can be useful for your Magmar, but nothing of big value after that
>To top it all off, it's night already, and the rain hasn't stopped, so going out is a no
>"Hmmmm~~~! My first sleepover with my friend!"
"Uhh... I think it's too... spontaneous. Why don't we find a room? There must a bed somewhere"
>"And will you sleep with me?!"
>Did she just sound desperate?
"Not exactly, I bet I can find another room, no prob-"
>"NO! Let's be together TONIGHT. WE'LL DO A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G..."
>Tempting offer, but you know better. You must catch pokemon, not chicks (for now, those things will come alone when you become a Champion)
>Also, you remember the professor's advice: Not Inside Crazies
"Ehh... let's just look for a room first and then we'll see."
>"IHIHIHIHIHI!!!"
>Oh man, how are you going to escape of this one? For all you know, she probably will corrupt your soul, or use you to lure phantasms
>As you walk throught the empty hallways, you find one door at the end. The room is very dark, but you can see curtains close
"Hmm, let's get these out."
>You move the curtains, and the dim nocturnal allowed you to see the roof of the room: filled with Golbats!
>In a quickly reaction, you hug your companion
*Whispering* "Hex! Hey! We got to-"
>Like a Tamato Berry about to explode, her skin is bright red, and her eyes are spinning like crazy
"Hey, don't you-"
>"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! MY FRIEND HUGGED MEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
>*BROOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!*
>The Golbats wake up with all the noise, and you run as far as you can
>After a while, you notice Hex isn't with you
"Oh no, Hex!"
>"AAAHHHH!!"
"Hold on Hex, I'm coming!"
>You hear the cries of Golbats close
>You grab your pokeballs
"Come on team, we have a girl to save!"

>Everybody hates Golbat swarms, and this isn't any different
>Your pokemons trash through every Golbat coming your way
>But sadly, you can't find Hex in the many rooms you entered, and most are fainted
>It's just you and Magmar now
>Only one room is left, and the room is closed
>You don't have time for that
>"Magmar! Fire Blast!"
>Your Magmar blasts the door away
>Inside, there's only one Pokemon: a Crobat
"What?! But they only evolve with high friendship! Unless...."
>You realize as the Crobat quickly goes for you: he's the leader of the pack
>Your Magmar jumps in time just to protect you from his Wing Attack
>It was the last thing he could do. He finally faints, and you no longer have any usable pokemons
>The Crobat shows an ominous smile, and his fangs leak a purple slime
>Poison Fang
>He screeches loudly as he flies straight at you, completely helpless
"Ah! Help me!"
>*BOOOOOOOM!!!!*
>A blast of dark energy stopped his strike
>You look behind you, it's Hex!
"Ah! Hex Maniac!"
>"Nobody touches my friend, ONLY ME....."
>She rises her right hand, pointing at the Crobat
>"Haunter: Hypnosis"
>A big shadow comes up behind her, whispering an eerie screech
>Yellow waves of energy hits the Crobat, making him sleep instantly
>Hex snaps her fingers
>"Dream Eater."
>The shadow goes all the way to the Crobat, engulfing it instantly. After a moment, the shadow leaves the body, fainted at last.
>You are silent, seeing the cold display of power; Hex looks at you
>"We must go now."
>You only nod, following her outside the abandoned mansion

>Looks like your adventure took all night, because the sun is rising and the storm is gone
>You two leave the mansion behind, walking all the way to the safest road
>With no more pokemon and monsters attacking, you set up your camp and heal your friends
"Hex, I have to ask: where were you? I am sure I investigated the entire place before you saved me."
>"Well, I was still shocked when you-"
>She remains silent
"When I...?"
>"Y-y-yo-yo-youuuuuu.... h-h-h-hu...."
"When I grabbed you, got it."
>Her face turns completely red, and hides behind her hair
"After that, what happened? I ran from the Golbats, and then I searched for you when I noticed you weren't with me."
>"I... I was dazzled, so I walked until I somehow stepped outside. The rain made me notice I was alone."
>Rain? You look at her clothes closely, and notice her clothes are completely drenched
>You grab your backpack, and give her a towel
"I don't have a set of clothes, but you can dry yourself with this."
>She smiles, and yanks the towel out of your hands. After that, she stands up and runs to the tent
"Okaaaaaaay.... How you feeling, Mag?"
>"Mar...."
"Alright, just let me finish with these hits, and I'll make something to eat, alright?"
>"Magmar."
"Good to know."

>With your team mostly recovered, you pull out the little stove, turn it on, and make some curry
>When you are done, you serve the meal to your team, and go for Hex. She didn't dried herself, she only stayed inside, hugging the towel
>You only call out to her, and prepare her plate
>She comes to you after a bit
"Come, sit down. This is for you."
>You pass her a plate with Curry
>"Thanks."
"No, thank you. If it wasn't for you, maybe now I would be a Crobat's meal."
>"Ehehehe, I saved my friend! I'm a good friend!"
"Yes you are Hex.... say, what's your name? You haven't told me."
>"My name?! I-I..."
"Calm down, I only asked for your name. Mine is Anonymous."
>"... Emily"
"You have a cute name, Emily."
>She giggles to herself, happy knowing her friend call her cute
>You look at her Haunter as well
"You also have a strong pokemon. Where did you even got a Haunter?"
>"He was my Ghastly. I got him when I visited the graveyard for the first time. We've been together ever since."
"You surely trained him. He got that Crobat in one hit."
>"What about your pokemons?"
"They are good, but Magmar is the best. I got him as a Magby when I was visiting the Seevi Islands with my family."

>"You have been in Kanto?"
"When I was a kid. My family comes from Unova actually, but one summer we travelled for vacationing. We were visiting Lorelei's house to see her doll collection, but a couple outside had an egg, so my parents took it. Magby was my first pokemon."
>"Just like me and Ghastly."
"Yup, my first pokemon and friend."
>"Wasn't I your first friend?"
>She looks down now
"Uh, I mean, first pokemon friend. You are, like, my first human friend."
>Her smile almost absobs her entire face
"FRIENDS! WE ARE FIRST FRIENDS! TOGETHER, FOREVER!!!!!"
>She sure has lungs and spirit to spare
>"And what do you want to do first, friend?"
"Oh, well, I was planning to go back into the forest since I haven't caught any bug pokemon. But if I had a Haunter like yours, I bet I could kick the Psychic Leader's butt in record time."
>"Wanna trade?!"
>Woah, that was quick. She didn't even though about a lease.
"Well, I don't know, I mean, it's too sudden and I don't think I have a pokemon to trade."
>You look at your team, the only good trade is Magmar.
"Maybe him, but he has been my best friend."
>"Oh, but if we trade I promise I'll take care of him."
"I'm not sure..."

>You see Magmar coming close to you
"Eh? You sure dude?"
>"Magmar."
"For a friend?... Alright, but have this."
>You give him the Magmarizer
"I heard your type like those, so you can keep it to remember me, alright?"
>"Magmar!"
"Good. See you soon, Magmar."
>You return his to his pokeball, and look at Emily
"Ready?"
>"Ready!"
>You two connect your link cables, and swap pokemon
>You sent Magmar for Haunter, but when you got the ball, it started to shake
>Haunter pops up from the ball, and evolves. You got a Gengar!
"Awesome!"
>"Uah! Too hot!"
>You look at Emily. Looks like the same thing is happening to her.
>Magmar pops up with a big blast of energy. He fused with the Magmarizer, evolving into a Magmortar!
>"MAGMORTAAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!!"
>"Ah! A big friend!"
>Emily hugs him instantly
>"My friend gave me a big friend! He is mine forever, and I will love him as much as I love my friend!"
>"Your" Magmortar surely loves the attention
"Looks like you are popular already. Take care of her, alright?"
>"Mortar!"

"Well, I guess that's that. I'll be leaving for the gym then."
>"Wait! After you do that, can we see each other in the next town please?"
"Uh, sure. But why not follow me now?"
>"I have to buy farm supplies now, and I have a Miltank to take care. You must taste her milk!"
>So much trouble for one MooMoo Milk? But then again, Miltanks require a lot of attention
"Fine, I'll get the badge, and we will see in the next town."
>"Promise!"
"I'll promise, don't worry."
>"Yay! See Magmortar? We will see anon again!"
>With a few more sentences, both finally say goodbye, and part ways
"She isn't so bad.... so, Gengar, ready to win that badge?"
>He looks at you, and turns around
"Eh? C'mon buddy, aren't you going to help me?"
>"Gengar..."
"Well, we swapped pokemon, so...."
>"Gar! Gengar!"
"Wait, what?"
>You check Gengar's data, and find out he not only is powerful, you will need 4 badges more before he even tries to listen to you!
"... Could you at least help me until we see Emily again?"
>He thinks for a bit, before licking your face, paralizing you
"Ugh.... why me?"
