Welcome to Hex Maniac Quest.
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=hex%20maniac%20prison

You are Gurie Niamic, a cool beauty put in jail for crimes you did not commit over drama you do not deserve.

Fortunately for you, some idiot minister somewhere decided that Prisons were too much for their criminals, and now you are in Rose's Academy for the Apologetic, which is a school prison. Also this is Orre and there are shadow pokemon still because of a sinister company... and you might be haunted?

To honor your dear father Roger "Rude" Niamic, you have formed a gang based on your dad's gang, Team Lazy (2)! As per your Criminal Constitution you have vowed to only use your potent ghost powers to avoid work, and never do anything you absolutely don't have to, and eat as many snacks as you can. You will work as hard as you can to be hardly working, that's on the motto, your dad made t-shirts one time.

You also have pokemon! This is a pokemon game. These include:

>Gremlin the Impidimp: A SHADOW POKEMON who seems to have no personallity, what little we see of it seems to be... pretty mean! Hes VERY loyal to Gurie, and almost ready to be purified! If only a purification machine or divine rock existed in prison

>Sandman the Sandygast: A self professed crime lord who swore featly to Gurie after she overpowered him in a astral battle somehow. Sandman seems really powerful! His Scorching Sands hit like a truck and because of their unique relationship Gurie can take his shovel and wade into battle herself! Just like that ninja.

>Jabberwocky the Trapinch: The only henchman Sandman had, hes spunky and unknown. Want's to be a dragon.


Friends:

>Carrie: A one armed upperclassman who admires your father. Has a lot of flying types, all of them are cute.. Seems to act tougher then she might be? You've never seen her fight. Likes movies.

>Tom: Tom isn't their real name. A perverted nerd who killed a man. Tom seems to be the smart one, probbably by process of elimination instead of actual skill. Got kidnapped by a crossdressing pervert.

>Sir Planchett: A crazy lady who isn't aware she's on your team. She thinks she's a knight who was appointed by Zacian to PERSONALLY save the world.

>Nimrah Diggory: Known as the nurse, warden nad biology teachy here with the alias Proffessor Noah. Secretly he's your adoptive uncle and works for your dad as one of his elite Number Ones, secretly secretly he's a ultra beast here with a bone to pick with the Aether Foundation. You arent actually sure why hes in the school.

>Sunny Day: The Freshman Class leader. Always smiling, seems to be some warlord dedicated to "Hunting evil". Has a cute laugh, promised you cake. You also got in a massive fight when you first met. The only person you've ever punched.

>>5629639
>Take the ghost job
In the event of a tie I will cede my vote to whatever this is tied with, but this is perfect.

It is either the world’s dumbest trap, a cover for an associate that isn’t part of the gang (and also dumb), or a perfect job.

I will be happy with any of those outcomes.

>>5629639
>One of the jobs involve sphere hunting in the "underground", you can go with Sandman and Jabberwocky! That could be fun!
Unknown no more!
The only reason I don't want to take the ghost job is in case we open yet another portal

>>5629660
Gurie would be heartbroken if she managed to open ANOTHER portal to the shadow realm. I’m pretty sure that can happen anywhere though.

Me, I’d have to laugh. Maybe even vote for Gurie to laugh too before crying over how dumb her powers can be.

Looking at all the options, while the ghost one looks really cool... You ultimately decide on the Sphere hunting...
I mean, its a adventure! A real adventure! Without higher conspiratorial implications!
Life is complicated enough, your Principal is scheming, your classmates are dangerous, your uncle is a pokemon and a alien... isn't it preferential for us to just... go in a cave and look for fossils and stuff? That sounds fun! A lot of what you do isn't FUN, its just important, you are tired of important.

You pick the job and show it to Wide Tony who stares at you. "W-what?" You ask, looking up at the Student Council's beady eyes.

"Why are you showing me the job?" He grunts, biting into a icecream cone, snapping it in half. "I am not the one who will pay you." He taps the name. "Go to Rhodes with the job, he's the one who asked."

...Oh...

"Well maybe I will!" You say opening your bag and sliding as many snacks as you can in it. "Good day sir!"

"You have to pay for those." Wide Tony says, snatching your bag out of your hand and dumping the snacks back as you pout.

The bell rings, indicating Dinner was ending.

You storm off, waiting till the man is out of view until you pull out Gremlin's ball, you pop it open, the Shadow pokemon gripping a Party sized bag of Smouchum Snackcakes. The ill gotten snacks having been held by your pokemon in the middle of Tony's unfair confiscation of your other snacks.

Heh. SUCKER!

~~~~~

A few minutes later you are back in the shady alleyway with Sunny, the woman holding a big, bright pink cake. "There! I got your stupid strawberry cake."

"It's not stupid!" You protest. "This is vital for the seance!" You take the cake from her. "Now we can start!"

>Go to your secret base, its the best place to gather your "Weird powers"

You decide that, the best way to do this is to clear one and a half pidgeys with the same stone.

You direct Sunny to the matintanence shaft the Rockets were using to hide their ill gotten tech, a base that you now had responsibility of...

The halls are even spookier with no one around, the winding tunnels of the base filled with panels that were meant to send you too and fro but now merely stared blankly back, powerless.

"Why here?" Sunny wondered as you headed to the Snag Room, the stadium still smelling of soot and stink from the fire pokemon and general bedlam that happened before.

"This area is filled with bad mojo." You explain placing the cake on a table that used to be used to hold snagem balls. "Those vibes resonate better with ghost types... And those ghosts are going to be our ticket to finding where shadow pokemon are."

"...Huh?" Sunny blinks. "We are asking ghosts?"

"No, I am asking, you are watching.' You cut the cake and place a slice on two plates, sitting down with some teacups you smuggled from your secret base ahead of time. "This is the Polteageist Tea Party, it can be a tricky ritual."

You poor a glass of tea across from you, concentrating your dark energy to Beckon the ghost nearby...

But before you finish you hear a shrieking sound, a blue shape darting down to the cake, the slice vanishing.

You stare upward, a large blue bat looking blankly at you, the cake in its clutche.

Mimikyu pops out of his ball, pointing at the Golbat. "A shadow pokemon!"

Your spell works better then you thought! Normally you get a omen of some kind but you beckoned the prey to you first, no shadowy tether required...

You turn to Sunny gesturing to the Golbat. "Well go on. Catch it."

She points to herself. "Me?"

"Well you wanted me to FIND shadow pokemon, I found one, I don't actually have to fight them." You cross your arms as Golbat starts to swoop down for another piece of cake.

Sunny throws a Pokeball, beaning the creature right between the eyes as Bayleef emerges. "Fine!" Sunny Day mutters. "But I am going to keep the Golbat for myself!"

You shrug, as if Golbat was ever going to be yours anyway...

You can tell that Sunny had a handle on it, sure Golbat had type advantages on Bayleef but if that was enough to beat her why was she a class leader?

Better them, to focus on your actual work...

You cut another slice of cake, placing it on the plate as you tape into the weird, your eyes flash briefly as you tug just briefly, on the strings tying the wound on reality together. The scar you rendered between the static and the distorted widens just a bit, allowing the scent of the saccharine sweetness through the wound, a dark shadow slipping out.

The teapot on the table rattles, a ghost emerging from the unseen space inside the teapot to peer at the fluffy cake in front of it. The Polteageist trills, slowly inching to the plate.

You slide it away. "Uh uh..." You chastise the ghost, the geist literally steaming over the loss of its snack. "Info first."

The ghost bubbles back at you as you stare it down, eventually slumping into its pot.

You unfurl a map of the prison... well a very crude one you drew in your spare time but a map none the less. You take out Gremlin, the Impidimp staring up at the bubbling boggart. "So-"

Your response is cut off by a loud shriek from the Golbat, vines lashing up at the pokemon as Bayleef dodges the sonic barrage...

"So, I have two questions." You slide the map over to the polteageist. "Can you show me where the pokemon are most..." You gesture to Impidimp. "Like him? And not in the dark fairy way?"

The creature glances at Impidimp and bubbles, taking a soggy finger and pressing it against the Second Chanser dorms?

Hmm, the Second Chansers ARE The ones who have minimum security and can leave on "Field trips"... if anyone could sneak contraband in... it's them...

"Okay second question." You look around, avoiding Polteageists stares by distracting yourself with Bayleef's weird petal attack just, bulldozing through Golbat's quarter resistance to Grass... "So... would you like to hang out again sometime because you seem pretty smart and I can get more cake and no one else in my team like's cake..."

"Pol?" The creature bubbles confused.

"Look don't get the wrong idea! It's just I am a hex maniac and you are a ghost and I should have more ghost friends, it's not like this is about you being fully evolved, you don't have to say yes if you don't want to... I can just eat my own cake, in fact I'd have more cake for myself so it's not really a big..."

The Polteageist pats your arm, bubbling in sympathy.

The other option sounds like work. Continue with tea, whatever came is left, and whatever snacks you have snatched away.

(Sorry I had Seder i forgot to post this... or add me trips)

Your name is the Countess... actually to be quite honest thats not a name its a title, but it's what you have.

Unlike a few ghosts, with their mortal attachments and sob stories, you are Pure, born entirely of the distorted world, unsullied by the Staticland. This nobility puts you at a higher status then the mere echos of polluted lands or sad corsolas... or at least, you consider it so. Though you acknowledge that perhaps the common folk understand the seedier staticlands better than you. However you were quite proud of your silver spoon, it may not have been something you worked for, but you have worked to maintain its luster.

Not to get too specific of Polterpolitics, which you imagine the Breathers would find droll, but as a Gormund you are very particular about flavors. And sugar does not taste sweeter then in the Overtamed lands of the living. There's a sort of exoticism to the flavors these noble savages, these people of the lands can bring out.

So when a woman asks to be your vassal. A savage from whom flavor hangs behind her like a second specter... well you would be cruel and stupid to refuse her. And you are only one of those things.

You are sure this Gurie person will serve you well, and you look forward to rewarding her handsomely.

You sit with Antoinette, eating cake and picking out pokeballs with your new ally as Sunny fights the shadowbat.

Sunny is holding back, you can tell a few ways, the most obvious is that she's just using Bayleef. Allegedly, she has much stronger pokemon she uses for "higher badged challengers" then you, but even if she didn't... you still dont see Tangela. There is no rule you can't use two pokemon.


However even though Golbat has the speed game, and Bayleefs are normally offensively limited, Bayleef has made up for that in sheer raw output. The sky is covered in petals, the room a small localized nature storm that makes Golbat's ecolocation near useless with all small objects bouncing his sonic waves, and bashing into him.

Golbat occasionally swoops in, trying to blast a Supersonic up close but Bayleef usually takes advantage of the close range to hit Golbat even harder... Plus that Purified Petal attack she uses seems to just ravage the Golbats defenses.
Eventually Golbat just drops limp to the floor, Sunny tossing a pokeball at the bat with little trouble.

"And another rescue in the bag!" Sunny says turning to you. You gesture to the map. "Oh?"

"Yeah." You point at the barracks near the entrance, unlike your houses long tower dorm, they live across the prison yard in its own block, for their own protection you've been told. While co mingling is inevitable during class and lunch time, the Second Chansers have the advantage of not having to associate with the dangerous rabble like you, even if they have much harder labor. "The Second Chansers have the highest concentration of shadow pokemon in this school."

You hand the map to her. "Now Miror B COULD have just been the one giving them all their shadow pokemon... but if not, well that's where you need to look."

She smiles. "Excellent." She puts the map in her pocket. "You can go now. I'll pay you tomorrow."

You look around bewildered. "But... but this is my base, why do I... why does everyone think they can kick me out of my stuff."

"Oh." Sunny looks around. "You said this was a rocket base... I just assumed we broke in!"

"I don't do that... except once! And I was helping that time!" You cross your arms. "The Yellowjacket gave me this base to safeguard because I was helpful! YOU leave it."

Sunny smiles blankly at you. "Well... okay! I mean I was going to go investigate those Second Chansers... Guess I'll just do that now!"

"Fine!" You walk towards the exit, Sunny following behind you.

"...Why are you following me?" You turn and glance at Sunny. "I'm going to do another job, we aren't working together anymore."

"...I don't know the way out." Sunny admits after a bit.

You walk in the quiet together until you leave the base... and then you keep walking together.

You check your notes... Great your 'client' is that Rhodes Rose guy, and you have to meet him to actually get the Explorer Kit to visit the underground... and he is waiting for you right in that work yard the Second Chancers live in. Not inside their base, fortunately enough, but your going to be walking with the crazy lady for TEN MINUTES!

"So... where are you heading?" Sunny asks as you hand her the job listing.

"Oh. Rhodes. Hes a nice guy." She hands it back. "Hell of a silver spoon though. Whether or not he acts like it, everythings just handed to him here."

>Huh... wonder why.
>Is he one of you guys? Some student council person? A gang leader?

You frown, silver spoon? Well... he did say he was able to transfer you out of the manual labor class... "Is he... in student council or something? Part of the leaders like you."

She laughs. "Opposite. Hes not allowed to lead anything! It's part of the terms of his sentence, something about addictive personality." She opens the door for you, the two of you stepping outside into the cold night air of the work yard. "Hes no one's boss anymore, if he gets caught barkin orders he get's pushed into Dusknoir Row like you."

That's... a bit suprising. You are a special case (When are you not) but Dusknoir Row's for lifers or diers... erm death row people. Tom killed someone, Archer runs one of the biggest gangs behind bars... Carrie...

Actually hey what the hell DID Carrie do to end up in Dusknoir Row?

Hell PETREL was a Ghastganger and he's IN team rocket. AND a pervert!

Going from minimum security straight to maximum security is a really strict punishment, they have to REALLY not want this man in charge of things.... and yet he's going to pay you.

"So... He's not even in a gang. He's just some prisoner with connections?"

She nods. "And money. Which is the same thing. All on his own, be nice to him, he's kind of a loser." She winks as she tosses out Golbats ball, the bat perching on her shoulder. "Alright lets see if you know fly..."

Golbat spreads his wings and takes to the sky, Sunny holding on to his feet as she soars over the dorm.

...How does no one just break out of here?

New underling! Possibly. At the very least he can buy our crew better food if his superpower is money.

If we want him more involved, he could either help Carrie with her outside responsibilities so she can devote more time to Team Lazy, or he can try acquiring interesting items for us liiiike a divine rock for example.

You run the odds over in your head over and over... and eventually you realize that... if you keep debating between whether you recruit this seeming wildcard... the more you aren't going to do ANYTHING. Analysis paralysis is a mire, and the longer you sit in it, the deeper you sink.

So you decide it's only fair to do what you always do... which is, well nothing.

At the very least if you want this new recruit you can do that AFTER you prove yourself with this job... You can always kick the can.

You finally meet Rhodes, the bearded construction worker sitting in the same gravel pit you slept in before (Why always gravel?). He waves as you head over. "So you are the one taking the job? Didn't think you had it in you."

"W...what's that supposed to mean." You bristle a bit, your hair literally raising slightly thanks to your spectral blight association.

He raises a hand. "Nothing rude, you just were very dismissive of work before, had a whole speech about it... so its a bit strange you changed your mind roughly 4 hours later."

Oh. "Well... I need money for cake. And I am hoping that with this short job I can avoid doing work later." You sigh. "Its not like EVERYONE can do NOTHING, I mean someone has to bake the cake and mill the flour, I just... would rather limit my unnecessary labor... this isn't unnecessary."

He chuckles. "Guess I underestimated your sweet tooth." He hands you a box. "Heres the Junior Explorer kit. Don't bother trying to dig under the walls, everyone thinks they can, but well..." He shrugs. "It goes really badly, pokeballs get disabled, Dugtrio collapse the tunnels... No one's escaped so far, but a few've died trying..." He smiles pleasently. "But you'll know when you start digging too far, so no worries about accidental damnation... you know how these things work right?"

You shake your head. "No.' You open the box and put the hard hat on. "But Sandman does."

~~~~~~~

The Prison Underground is rather... damp for a tunnel. The air is far cooler, and the dark tunnels wind around the heavy metal pipework of the sewage system. Which is filled with feralligators to hunt escapees. You suppose the tradeoff of all the freedom you have is that they are willing to just kill you to justify keeping it.

Sphere hunting, from what youve been told is rather simple. The "Spheres" are actually gems that grow here... which is weird, but essentially if you find a few already growing you can replant them and get a bigger payout later, in addition to the harvest you get now. Apperantly Spheres are used to make TM disks so they are quite valuable.

The question is where to look?

>Focus along the pipework, filled with water and poison type pokemon but they may have more discarded treasures then just spheres
>Focus along the outer rims of the grounds, not to escape but... well the easy stuff should have been taken already, your odds are better on the Outside

You decide that, if Rhode's warning isnt full of shit... you should head to the edge anyway.

If as many people get hunted down as Rhodes implied... that implies a equally large amount of treasure... or at least unclaimed spheres

As the ghost expert you feel that it's sort of up to you to take care of abandoned thing's like this. You and Sandmans walk takes a bit, unfortunately there is no ghostly power of superspeed... But there is one of sensing the dead... and Rhodes was true to his word, there were pinpricks of light at the end of the tunnel.

You walk... glide even, past clearings to a large T section, the walls going from the smooth diglett cut structures to rough, bumpy, like a pule of collapsed dirt. Sandman slips through the cracks of the cave in and through his power the wall starts to dissolve into sand...

The room is dark, far darker then your lantern should be... You take a step back out of the room, Sandman gliding behind you as the darkness coalesces, a large cloud of many green smirks floating behind the mists.

>Orrean Spiritomb Wants to Battle


Now that the ghost is concentrated you can see the white of the bones behind it, as well as a duffelbag of illgotten pokeballs, not prison balls either, the genuine article... These must be the failed escapes... and what remains of them is attacking you.

I assume this won’t win, but I like the idea of Gurie having a more hands-on approach for getting ghost-types. We beat Sandman by subjugating him after grabbing his shovel (kinda), had cake with Antoinette, and will beat down 108 spirits with a shovel.

The... ghost cloud moves before you, Several faces open wide as green deadlights glow within the purple haze... wait not deadlights... Bugs.

Swarms of the dead insects pile onto Gremlin, the Infestation getting a early strike on your pokemon, the bugs crawl and bite at your shadowed pokemon, the zonked out Gremlin not registering the pain, at least yet.

While you are known for waiting and gauging your foes from a distance, this foe is fast and clearly not willing to wait for you to take your time. Thus the only way for you to get your moment of plotting is to take that momentum away from Spiritomb.

You gesture to your two pokemon. "Attack."

Antoinette ducks into her pot, the porcelin prison shaking as it whistles in steaming error. A boiling stream of water gushes from the spigot, the Spiritomb disperses, trying to dodge the burning scald, to a limited effect as the water cuts through the smoke, the dark haze mixed with white steam.

The room roars as the ghosts draw back, trying to regroup and push forward as Impidimp charges in, his paws glowing with shadowy energy as he Launches his Shadow Prank. A purple aura surronds Gremlin as he leaps into the smoke, causing unknown number of bulling japery until theres a hiss. Purple smoke echoes throughout the room. You reach into your bag for a mask and hurridly put it on, the Poison Gas echoing in the tunnel.

This is bad... Things don't disperse underground.

You hear a cackle as the smoke clears, green faces echoing in the smoke, even though several of the faces are weeping from the pain of your assault.

Backing >>5636778. Aromatherapy seems like something Antoinette would now. It sounds appropriately high-class. If she does, Gremlin wouldn’t need Reflect either.

A portal would also vent the gas. Just saying.

>>5636793

seeing guries luck with magic, my policy is leave the pokemon fighting to our pokemon

Sorry long ass homework.

What matters is degassing the room, and since you do not have defog...

Wait hold on...

"Countess... can you clear the gas?"

There is a smug bubble from the royal polteageist as the ghostly spigot seems to vaccum, a gust of air swallowing the poison as Defog clears the hazards in the room.

The creature roars in annoyance blue lights glowing in the cloud as the creature builds up a hex. The vengeful curse is launched at Polteageist, but Gremlin leaps in the way, his hands glowing blue as he he hastily sets up a light screen...

The barrier sheds a bit of the damage, but hex's are meant to exploit weakness and Gremlins poisoned. Countess quickly moves out of the way as the Lightscreen starts to crack, bright blue light burning your dear partner.

"Im!" The Impidimp cries, quickly recovering from the blow as it lands back on its feet.

This Spiritomb is something else, you guess the lack of a Relic stone has really taken the training weights off.

Now that you've regained some control over things, you decide to take your time.

Impidimp readies his Swagger, taunting the dark monster as Countess takes a deep breath, focusing with Calm Mind to bolster herself...

Everything seems lined up, perfect...

Right until the ghost makes its move.

Lights flicker within the ghostly could, the greens glowing bright, even as a single face sways in confusion as a sea of stars sparkle in the undead sky...

Its... hidden power... but not just one, the colors are all different... One... two...

The you get to four before you run out of time. The deadlights shine a bright rainbow light right before a HAIL of multityped manifestations barrage the field. The Hidden Powers are machine gun out, the light screen crumbling under the raw numerical onslaught.

Gremlin and Polteageist are sent flying, you leap in the air and catch Gremlin, midair, quickly lashing a hand out to yank Antoinettes teapot to safety as you crash to the ground, absorbing the brunt of the impact. (Those rigorous dance classes have evidentally paid off)

Remember that back you shredded 3 days ago? It crashes into the wall, you slumping to the floor winded.

You look at the laughing ghosts, your wounded pokemon... the laughing faces of the ghosts... and you pierce it together.

Spiritomb is the condensed malice of 108 sealed evil souls... but this Spiritomb has no relic stone...

It's not some unleased superspirtomb... its a 108 pokemon. Like that... fish! The big one! You don't know your water types that well but its a buncha smaller pokemon right?

The necrotic swarm laughs, or maybe they just talk that way, the lights of the pinpricks glowing again as it readies another salvo.

Seeing the forces swarming you in full now, you decide that you must hunker down and do your best to outlast your barrage.
"Gremlin! Keep building up those light screens! Countess, use Strength Sap."

The two get to work, Gremlin throwing up barrier after barrier under the rapid fire assault as Antoinette drew green energy away from the spirits, invigorating herself...

The only problem was that the spirits were bodyless entities, inhabiting neither corpse nor stone... there was very little of their attack to drain, and it was both poor substance and poorer comfort as the barrage did not slow in the slightest.

Gremlin starts to slow a bit, his long tongue waging as he pants between broken barrier after broken barrier. Fatigue and posion each doing their part in sapping his energy away. Antoinette barely finished patching the last chip of damage from the attack as the barrier crumples completely.

Your defenses far apart the fog laughing as the lights of hidden power fade away, instead dark purple embers glow. The attack launches, the Hex knocking Gremlin to the floor and out of the fight, the fair seeing nothing but stars before passing out.

Laughter echos from the fog as the ghosts press forward, seeking to engulf the three of you.

>Switch out Gremlin and keep fighting!
>Run!
>Fuck it weird hex shit

Despite their glee the fog isn't looking ENTIRELY happy itself, Gremlin wasn't the only one with a steadily running down clock and though your bunker strategy didnt injure it... the burns have.

>>5640212
Oh cool I won, now I get to use the plan I made within ten minutes in a wiki
So hear me out, the problem lies in that this Spiritomb is a bunch of mini ghosts spread out right? And there is this shadow move called Shadow Hold that affects ALL enemies.
So, have Mimi Shadow Hold them all in one place so Antoinette can finish them off with Scald!

>>5640213

The plan seems simple. You send out Mimikyu, your ace in the hole twlirling into battle.

With the power of Shadow Hold you can pin these ghosts and take them out one by one...

However you forgot one thing, the ghosts speed, and their malice.

Before you make your move, the ghosts swoop in, spewing more noxious gas.

The poison smoke fills the air, the faces vanish in the fumes... Antoinette already working on clearing the fog, but that stalls you're move, Mimikyu looks around confused, and then... just as the fog clears you see the bright purple flame of a hex.

It shoots past Mimikyu, clears Countess by a mile...

It wasn't aiming at them.

This isn't a cute noble, a loyal shadow pokemon, a proud champion of the forest... Its the malice of all the prisoners who couldn't make it, 108 crabs in a bucket seven feet deep...

It was aiming at you.

The bedlam of raw blight rattles your bones, twisting the carcinogenic gas you briefly inhaled and igniting it. Your veins are fire, your bones are ice, and your legs do not work.

You hit the floor, your mind running miles a second but your body in lockjaw. You can talk but barely. Mimikyu turns to you, running over.

"Keep fighting." You mutter before you slump over unconscious.

You are Mimikyu! The cutest avatar of hate in the entire planet. Admittedly you are panicking a bit right now though.

You've never worked with another pokemon before... much less lead one while your trainer was out... but you suppose that now you have to take charge an-

"Well don't just dilly dally!" You hear the warbling chastisement of Antoinette as the ghost points at the cloud. "Use your Shadow Hold! And this time, actually succeed hmm?"

H-hey rude!

"W-" You bristle. "H-hey I have seniority here you know! You should be taking MY advice!" You point at the Fog. "Go get your defog set up before he uses the gas!"

"I'm supposed to be SCALDING him, your running cover for ME!" The Countess glares at you. "You think, I, a NOBLE, would kowtow to you? Of all ghosts?"

Theres a click and the two of you leap, dodging a hail of Hidden... WAIT GURIE!

You leap BACK, swatting empowered bullets away with your staff before they hit the immobile trainer... this isn't working! Your a pokemon! Pokemon don't listen to other pokemon that's why you even HAVE people!

"We have to work together!" You yell at Antoine as she aims her spigot, a spray of hot water halting the advance as the ghosts scatter.

"You've been told that so many times Farreter!" The Polteageist yells back. "How many times have you listened THEN?"

Damnit.

But would you really do that to such a sweet guy?

>>5641959
well I did want to catch the damned barf cloud and I'd be kinda mad if we went through all this trouble for nothing
also do you mean just me? I'm not confident in my luck at all

Nah we will let it come to a vote like all the other options.

Just dont want one hard boss fight to kill my precious quest...

Ugh... you do not have time for this arguement, there are centuries of baggage to unpack there and this is a battle in seconds...

You reach into your anger and twist it towards your foe, your shadowstretching and splitting, dark lines turning into dark claws plucking through the mists...

The storm of the tunnel spews venom, fire burning through its clouds, the chaos from its swagger turning its poison inward, if only in bits and pieces... You can feel, through the madness of the monster... something is cracking, a thought slips and you pinch it.

The storm halts briefly bound into a effigy of internal war as Antoinette's spigot spews burning water.

The ghosts are battered by the burning spray, steam filling the room as suddnly your hold breaks.

Ghosts SCATTER with a maddened frenzy, flying past you and darting along the tunnels to nowhere, fading into walls... all but one.

A single spectre floats in the air, held up only by your attack, water dripping from its ectoplasm as it flops within the fingers of your shadowy puppetstrings.

Spiritomb's storm had passed, its hold over the other ghosts broken by its wounds... you won.

>Shove it in a ball and get outta here.
>Throw that thing in one of Guries dolls its going in the naughty corner
>Hold on... you were promised loot! Copious loot! By Giratina loot this place!
>Get the spheres and get out, gurie needs help.
>WAIT! Secret power! Make a base here and you can have Gurie and Gremlin rest while you and the others do cool adventure stuff...

Orrean Spiritomb is essentially a ghostly Wishiwashi, though maybe it shouldve popped that schooling a bit earlier.

Yeah, enjoy, read my backlog I guess. We did it!

>Shove it in a ball and get outta here.

if we put spiritomb in a ball, do it with one of the real ones from its corpse

I came back and I see a three way tie. So lets shorten this.

>Catch the pokemon and get what you need
>Just get what you need and leave the pokemon
>Set up a little med base with secret power and wait for help.

>>5644420
>Catch the pokemon and get what you need

>>5644420
>Catch the pokemon and get what you need

>>5644420
>Catch the pokemon and get what you need

>>5644420
>Catch the pokemon and get what you need

You dart past the pokemon and to the corpses, fishing out a particuraly shady looking dusk ball from a skeleton. You wrench the ball from the corpse and throw it at the ghost, the pokemon vanishing into its prison where you promptly but it in the bottom of Guries bag under the gross snacks she always eats so the ball gets covered in cheese dust and sugary vinegery residue and other grossness.

Fuck him.

You look around, digging out a few spheres just to make sure this all was for something. Sandman and Jabberwocky head to the dead bodies, rummaging through the mass of tangled and twisted bodies for valuables.

The crooks have the spirit for it... but not much eye for valuables... but neither do you... You grab one of the backpacks of the dead runaways, empty it of anything yucky, and just fill it with whatever you can thats not molded. Some weird bones, a few glittery plates and some funny rocks. Then you toss it on Jabbers so he's "Holding" the item and send him back in his ball. You then shove all the weird pokeballs in some dolls Gurie had on her.

It's a rush job and you are sure you missed something... but its a formality really, you don't... actually like cake that much. Gurie really hyped it up but its kinda squishy and the icing is... eugh.

Sandman, Antoinette, and you gather up around your trainer, the three of you pooling your ghostly powers to lift Gurie and hoist her behind you. As quickly as you 3 can run without breaking the stasis, you pop Gurie up to the outside, the moonlight filting down in the tunnel as Rhodes watches you drag Gurie's unconscious body in the air.

~~~~~~

"Gurie, I understand women your age develop... independent streaks." Uncle Nimrah says, carefully tiptoeing his words around your glare. "But, I was hoping you'd have some more concern about yourself."

You aren't ENTIRELY sure what happened when you went unconscious but you woke up in a hospital bed and you were informed your going to be in a wheelchair for a while, maybe a few weeks. Also that you are in big trouble AGAIN.

>Its not YOUR fault there are sociopathic ghosts in the underground! You just wanted spheres! It was a milk run! You just wanted milk!
>...Sorry uncle please don't tell my parents
>Its not fair! They took all your money! You didn't even WANT the stupid job!
>Write in

Your name is... well who cares. Names were just trouble in the business. People gave you a lot of names, parents did, the news did... Frankly you hated all of em.

No one saw you they saw the pictures. The art, the fucking show ya feel. It ain't ever bout the real shit just about headlines and headcases and far as the man was concerned you were both.

Ya didn't even kill nobody, all you ever slaughtered were journalists... and they aren't actually people ya know, just a buncha shadow shits. They were after your mind too, lock ya down in that Cipher shit to make ya into the pictures.

But you dont play these games, you dont go to SCHOOL or nothing, aint like this was school when you were round anyway. Shit was a bonafide jail and you were gonna escape... then some fucking ghost iced you just cause it couldn't make it.

It was never the system, it was the brothers. All the system did was make the studio and flip a camera on. Yall chosed to be on the show the whole time dog.

When you felt that... well you felt how the world SPIN ya know, and the only way to change the channel... was to take the camera.

You directing now ya know, least in the underground, not that mainstream shit THEY run up top. Ya building the numbers, filling the bucket... but when its full you gonna tip it over, break the whole prison to pieces and REALLY get the show going... the last show that will ever air...

But the fucking system, with that Countess type came and put the boot down on you.

Fuck man. You were almost free. The show was going to be over...

>Name Orrean Spiritomb
