Chapter Seven:

An old friend and the forbidden enchainment

Hi everybody again. In this chapter will appear the new OC of my story: Angela Dawn Hankins. She was designed by Hunter Killer OC production co. so I don't have the credit for this character. As I said before her appearance in the story will make twist for Jake and Lily life, so you can expect some strong speech. So after telling this let's begin.

Jake POV

It was dawn like every day when I wake up, but I couldn't move because something was pressing me to the bed. When I opened my eyelids I saw down and watched to Lily sleeping with her head and right arm on top of my chest. I shook her to wake her up but she seemed to be dead because she didn't want to wake up. I sighed and rested my head on the pillow again thinking that today is going to be a long day. After a time when I saw the clock it marked seven o'clock and started to make noises. I tried to reach it to turn it off but it was on Lily side so I couldn't avoid waking up Lily in my attempts to shut up the machine. When she lifted her head she yawned and when she opened her eyes she was shocked because in my attempts to turn the alarm off I ended on top of her.

"J-J-Jake? W-w-what are y-you do-doing?" she asked "W-w-why are you on t-t-top of me?"

"S-s-sorry Lily" I said in the embarrassing situation "I was trying to turn the alarm off and I ended like this" I added while reaching my hand to the button and pressing it.

"O-o-okay, no problem" she answered to my explanation "But, can you get off now?" she asked.

I jumped from the bed and started to look for my clothes avoiding looking her face. I was looking for my sky blue suit but it was too dirty so I looked in my bag for another. I forgot that I have more suits with the same design but with different colors. I grabbed the one with my second favorite color: the black one. The only trouble with it is that it looks like a wedding suit and be walking next to Lily with it will make the people think strange things but I got dressed with it anyway.

"Good suit Jake" I heard Lily saying "It looks perfect in you"

"Thanks Lily" I replied "I don't use it very often, I prefer to wear my sky blue suit"

"If that is the case, why are you using it?" she asked suspiciously "If your other suit is dirty you can send it to the laundry"

"I would like to do that" I answered "But remember that today we need to go to Jubilife City to meet Angela"

"Ah, yeah I almost forgot that" she said with a little bit of disappointment in her voice "Well, when we are going to leave?"

"Right now" I went to the desk where Sky is sleeping and I was surprised that he didn't wake up with the alarm "Hey Sky, wake up friend. We need to go"

"Uh ah okay" said the bird spreading his wings "Where are we going today?" he asked

"To Jubilife City" I repeated "We can eat in the way, but now we need to go because there is someone I need to meet there"

"Okay, okay, I understood" replied Sky "Give me a second"

He yawned and started to fly to warm up his wings. When he finished we went out the hotel and just like I expected, the people were looking at me with strange gazes just because I was wearing a wedding-like suit and a Gardevoir was walking next to me. We walked through a cave full with Pokémon, especially Zubats. Sky was fighting them without trouble until in a moment appeared two Golbats that attacked him, but he was faster than them and he defeated them with an Aerial Ace. When we were out the cave a Kricketune attacked us and Sky was who fought against it because he was a bug-type Pokémon and Lily would have troubles with him. When he ended he started to glow.

"You are kidding me, right?" I asked when Sky evolved into a Staravia "You must be really tired after fighting during so much time, why don't you rest?"

"Sure I will" he said when I launched his Poke ball to the air and he touched the central button with his beak and returned to rest.

"Well, we are almost arriving" I announced "Welcome Lily, to Jubilife City"

When we entered she gasped from what she saw. High buildings everywhere we look and people walking from here to there without stopping but her attention was focused in the Jubilife City TV Central. We walked to a Pokémon Center to leave Sky but suddenly someone slammed me from behind making me fall to the floor and there the same person started to tickle me.

"W-w-what's happening?" I said breathing in my laugh "Get off from me, are you crazy?"

"Maybe I am" said a female voice that I didn't heard during a long time ago "How are you Jake? I have missed you"

When I got up I saw her. It was the same Angela Hankins that I met many years ago but now she looked different: she was wearing a long white dress and a green wig. If it wasn't because she doesn't have a blood red chest spike I could have mistook her with a Gardevoir. A Gallade was behind her and seemed edgy, maybe because his trainer was dressed like one of his kind. She was a little shorter than me (I am 6 feet tall) and really pale but her lips were the same light pink color that I remember. Her eyes were the same shade of red than a Gardevoir and, if I am not wrong, her wig hides her natural white hair. She was really happy to see me and to be appearing her Gallade noticed this because he didn't take his gaze away from me.

"How are you Angela?" I said with my hand in my chest trying to catch my breath "Long time no see"

"Yes, a really long time" she said with a wink "Five years if I remember well"

"Well I think you are right" I said "Angela this is Lily, Lily this is Angela" I introduced them. To be appearing Angela didn't noticed Lily but when she did the two had an assassin expression when they shook hands.

"Nice to meet you" said Lily with a false happy voice.

"Likewise" replied Angela with the same kind of voice. She looked at me again and this time she examined me in a detailed way "You still wearing those formal clothes? They will get dirty"

"Yes, I know" I replied scratching the back of my head "To be sincere, my sky blue suit was dirty so I was obliged to use this"

"Well, we need to solve that" she grabbed one of my arms "Come here and I'll get you some decent traveling clothes" I grabbed Lily arm in time before she started to drag me to the mall. She was stronger than me but at the same time slower, so if we fight maybe it would end as a draw.

"What are you doing?" asked her Gallade who was walking next to us "He can walk by himself"

"Yes but I know him and I am pretty sure that he wouldn't come by his own choice" she answered "He likes too much his suits, so change them for another kind of clothing is not a decision he would take alone"

"Em, Angela you are going to rip out my arm" she let go my arm and I rubbed my shoulder "Okay I surrender I will change my clothes but I will keep my suits anyway"

"Well I think there's no problem with that" she said leading us to the clothing store "Well, come here"

"She is going to buy the half of the mall" I whispered to Lily "She hasn't changed too much since last time I saw her"

"What are you two talking about?" shouted Angela from a hallway in the left "Come here or I will drag you again even if I rip out your arm Jake"

"She is very hasty" Lily told me "Since when you know her?"

"Let me think" I said with a hand in my chin "Ten years ago. I met her when my father invited her family to a dinner and all ended with both of us running through the whole mansion"

"So she is very energetic?" I nodded "And how old is she?"

"Well she is two years older than me so she is seventeen years-old" Lily eyes widened "But we didn't have trouble with that when we were younger"

"I see" Lily though for a while "We better hurry up before you end without an arm"

"You are right" we rushed to the hallway where Angela was and we saw that her Gallade was holding a lot of T-shirts, traveling soldier-like pants and snow clothes such as scarves and jackets "Man you are having troubles. Let me help you"

"Thanks" he said giving me half of the things "My name is Chris and you are Jake Coen right?"

"Yes, the same" I affirmed "Angela told you my name, right?" he nodded "Well I guessed that because she is really cheerful"

"It was hard to me get used to that" he said "But when I managed to do it she started to dressing up like a Gardevoir"

"So that is another trouble to you" he sighed "Don't worry, to be sincere when we met at first I thought that she was unsupportable, but when the day ended we were in the roof of my house laughing about we did that day"

"What did you do that day?" Chris asked curiously "She doesn't want to tell me about the day when you met"

"Well it was really funny" I said chuckling "We ran through my house setting all topsy-turvy, and when we got tired we climbed the roof and started to share some of our secrets"

"What kind of secrets?" he seemed to be insistent

"Well I told her that I loved Pokémon and she told me that she could understand them" I said looking at Chris who seemed shocked "You didn't think that she would tell me that?"

"No, I thought that she only told that to her Pokémon and me" he said sincerely.

"Don't let it upset you" I comforted him "Those are things that only friends can do"

"Jaaaake!" I heard Angela calling "Where are you, little mouse?"

"I'm over here!" I shouted as response and Chris looked at me confused "I forgot that she calls me like that because I am elusive as a mouse"

Suddenly Angela and Lily came from a hallway at our right and showed me three pairs of gloves every one.

"Which do you prefer?" they asked in unison.

"Well, let me think" I said "I like these" I took a pair of black fingerless and back-exposed climbing gloves that Angela was holding, to be appearing they are useful if I want to make parkour "I like these ones too" I took other pair of gloves that Lily was holding in her hands that covered completely my hand, its color was white but they were form a lighter silk than my suit "And last…" I started to think about my last choice "I think that these two because I can't choice between them" I took a pair of alpinism gloves that Angela had and a pair of leather gloves that reach a little farther than my wrists.

"Well, I think it is enough" Angela said "I hope you have brought your credit card"

"WHAT!?" I was impressed "How you dare to bring me here to buy new clothes and make me pay?"

"Hey, they aren't mine" she said with a grin "If you don't want them and prefer to destroy every one of your suits it is your decision"

"Okay, I will pay" I said while Chris was laughing and I hit him in the lungs with my elbow "Warn me the next time that you are going to do this"

"You already know me Jake" she replied "I'm as unexpected as the sea. And now that I remember, didn't you use to call me like that?"

"Yeah I remember" I said blushing "I used to call you Sea and you called me Mouse"

"Are you coming or what?" called Lily that was in the counter

"Yeah give us a second" Chris and I brought all the clothing and put it in the counter. I searched in my back pocket and pulled out my wallet "Here" the cashier took my credit card and started to put the numbers in the machine.

When we ended shopping the sun was setting, so I suggested searching for a place where we could spend the night. We found a hotel and I paid for two rooms one to Angela and Chris and the other for Lily and me. When we came out from the hotel Angela suggested a little picnic and all we agreed and went out not so far from the city and there we settled the picnic and started to eat. I pulled out Sky and even if he was tired (with Angela close I couldn't managed to bring him to a Pokémon Center) he started to eat.

"That was delicious Angela" I commented "But not as delicious as Lily pancakes" I added.

"Lily knows to cook?" she asked "How?"

"In his memories" Lily answered pointing me with a 'finger' "I saw in his mind the memories when he watched his mother cooking and I learned the recipes"

"Well, that's unexpected" she said "Like this!" she suddenly pulled out a collapsible longbow and shouted a psychic arrow to a tree splitting it in two.

"Yeah, I must recognize it was impressive" I said while standing up and unsheathing my sable "But you are not the only one!" I swung it towards a rock and launched a Psycho Cut slicing it by the half. "How did you get those abilities?"

"Can I make you the same question?" she countered "I got the mine three years ago when I discovered that I was the descendant of the Immortal Blood Clan"

"Ah, I remember that legend" I told her "Those who die in battle go to the Tower of the Immortality to rest in peace, but there was a clan that regardless the way they die, they go to the Tower. She nodded impressed that I know the legend "I got the mine with this" I pulled out the Mythical ball "I am the thirtieth son of the clan who received the Mythical ball from Arceus itself. A Poke ball that attached my soul with the Pokémon caught by it" I pointed Lily with a finger and she smiled "When our souls got attached I could understand Pokémon and received some of Lily powers. And now we are the best friend of each other" I said hugging her with my right arm.

"If that is the case" she said with an evil grin "You are going to be mine Jake, even if it is forced"

"What?" she suddenly pulled a strange amulet in my chest and it buried inside me. I felt my heart burning but then I saw she did the same to herself. When the pain ended I got up and shouted "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!?"

"I attached our souls in a different way that your link with Lily" she said keeping the evil grin "If you get away 100 feet from me our souls will be destroyed"

"WHAT!?" shouted Lily shocked "Why would you do that?"

"Because he will be mine" she answered "I don't mind if I need to travel with him the rest of his life"

"One day Angela" Lily told with anger in her voice "You will regret what you did bitch"

"Okay, now girls calm down" Chris and I said.

"Let's go to the hotel and tomorrow…" I said staring to Angela "…we are going to Floaroma Town and there we will set camp to go to Eterna City"

"Did you take the Pokémon League challenge?" asked Chris

"Yes, and I am not going to leave it for this" I told him touching my chest "If you don't want to get your soul destroyed then you will have to come with me until I win the Pokémon League"

"I'm pretty sure you will" said Angela with a wink "But as you said, we will talk about it tomorrow"

We headed again to the city and I told Angela that I needed to leave one of my Pokémon in the Pokémon Center so she followed me there and after that we went to the hotel. We both said good night to the other and entered in our rooms. I launched my bag to the couch, my sable over the table and my coat to the floor. I looked for something to eat but Lily already prepared the dinner. I sat down and started to eat quietly but when I ended I hit the table with my fist.

"Jake, are you okay?" asked Lily grabbing my hand.

"No Lily, I'm not" I got up and went to the bedroom with Lily following me "How could she do me something like this?" when I took off my shirt there was a skull mark in my chest "I need to take a bath" I announced.

"I will go with you" said Lily and I got frozen "Don't worry I won't be naked" she pulled out a bikini "I bought it before you could pay for your clothes"

"O-okay" I said before entering in the bathroom to put on my swimming trunk "I'm ready" I called. She entered in the bathroom and I needed to turn around and put a hand in my face because I had a nose bleeding.

"How do I look?" she asked teasing me "Come on, look at me!" she said grabbing my shoulder

"Y-you look g-great" I said entering in the already filled tub "And beautiful likewise" I said blushing.

"Awww, really?" she said entering in the tub "That's too nice from you, thanks"

"You're welcome" I replied "Hey, can you help me to wash my back?"

"Sure" she said grabbing the soap and rubbing it in my back "Can you do the same for me later?"

"Of course, why not?" I answered.

When we ended bathing I got up and went to the bedroom to put on my pajama and, to be appearing, Lily bought one for her too. After getting dressed I pulled out a laptop from my bag and turned it on and started to surf the net. I was looking for images of the symbol that I had in my chest and, in a really strange web page, I found it. It was called the Wedding Contract and to be appearing the Immortal Blood Clan was used to use it when two people get married. As Angela said, the amulet would destroy the souls of the attached if they are 100 feet away from the other.

"Jake" I heard Lily and I turned to see her next to me "What kinds of weapons exist in the world?"

"Why do you ask that?" I said surprised

"You already saw Angela longbow" I nodded "So if one day I'm going to fight with her I need a range weapon too"

"Well, there exist the guns" she looked me confused "The guns are modern weapons that shoots bullets and can kill people"

"But the bullets runs out, right?" to be appearing she know a little about the topic

"Yes, but if you want one I suggest the handgun" I said showing her a picture on internet "It is light and easy to hide and carry and…" I said thinking for a moment "…you can use it like Angela longbow: shooting psychic bullets. They won't be as fast as a normal bullet but you will be able control the damage that they make. And Lily…" I said staring at her face "…please don't start a fight. Just use it to protect you if I can't"

"Okay Jake, I promise that I won't use to anything more than protection" she told me

"Well, let's get out from that trouble immediately" I announced getting up.

I went to my bag and pulled out a metal case that contained a lot of metallic parts, but thanks to Jenna I could recognize which to use. I pulled the pieces out from the case and put them in the table where I started to assemble them. It took me roughly two hours before end. When I finished I was holding a Tangfolio Force 99 in my hands. I was proud of myself for my job and handed it to Lily.

"Try it" I told her. She pointed to the window and shouted to a falling leaf. As I expected it wasn't as fast as a normal gun but she was able to control the force of the shot and she pushed the leave instead of destroying it "Well I guess it works perfectly"

"Thanks" Lily hugged me so tightly that I had troubles to breath

"You're welcome" I got up and pulled out a leg gun-holder "Use this to carry it in your leg"

"But my dress is too long, what if I need it quick?" she asked.

"Well I bought you something" I pulled out from the bags a white dress that only covered one leg "I saw this dress in the shop and it reminded me about Ada Wong, from the video games series Resident Evil, so I bought it for you"

She made a teleport change between her dress and the one that I had in my hand so suddenly she was wearing the Ada Wong-like dress and her principal dress was in the floor. She adjusted the gun-holder and she made sure that it wasn't noticeable because a Gardevoir with a gun will make the authorities to arrest us. When she finished she put the gun in the nightstand and I lied down in the bed and she, again, climbed to rest her head and right arm in my chest.

"Good night" she said before falling asleep

"Night" I said "And sweet dreams"

I fell asleep thinking what happened today. I woke up and ended on top of Lily in the morning, after that Sky evolved in our way to Jubilife City. We met Angela and Chris and she dragged me to buy new clothes and made me pay. Later we went to a picnic and we both showed our powers but then she attached us with that damn amulet. Then we returned to the hotel and after Lily and I bathed together I made her a gun to protect herself just in case that I couldn't. Just as I expected in the morning: today was a long day.

Hi everybody. I know what you are thinking 'A Gardevoir with an Ada Wong white dress and a gun?' well; let's just say that Hunter Killer OC production co. suggested me to give Lily a weapon if she was going to fight Angela in the future. As I said at the beginning I will repeat it: Hunter Killer OC production co. can create an OC with the features, history and abilities that his clients request. He is the genius behind Angela Dawn Hankins. And about Lily with a weapon: didn't you have thought she will look more dangerous with it. With this I say bye and enjoy the chapter.
