My Great Big Adventure

I haven't seen Hugh since that day.

After our huge fight, I ran off to PokeStar Studios for a month. Well, technically I'm still here. I finally finished hosting this dumb celebrity talk show (which I'll get to later…) and now have time to write about what happened between us.

I wanted to escape, and I figured this would be one of the last places he would think to look for me, since I'm not sure he even knows I do movies… and if he's ever heard me talk about them, he knows I hate it.

I really really wanted to turn back as soon as I had left Driftveil's city limits. My heart was screaming at me, torn apart by the fact that I had just abandoned my best friend and crush. But my mind held steady, reminding me of all the crap he put me through and how he took me for granted.

We've been best friends since… practically forever. We immediately bonded due to a lack of other kids our own age (not many people in our small hometown, after all). I think I started crushing on him back then, even. Something about his hair attracted me, the way it stuck up in all directions, like a rooster or something. In basic terms… it was cool. Plus, he had his own Tepig! Most kids don't get a Pokemon until they turn 10 or older. But not Hugh! He was a pro at battling wild Pokemon by age 7. I admired and looked up to him; I felt so lucky having the coolest best friend in the world.

Then Team Plasma came and stole his little sister's Purrloin away.

He was never the same after that.

I didn't give up on him, though. I knew somewhere in there was the little boy I liked so much. The boy who let me borrow his Tepig when I was lonely. The boy who let me hide in his room after Mom and I had one of our regular fights. The boy who said I was his favorite person in the world. What happened to him?

Hugh kept saying he "needed" me. I was lured in by a sense of need, that he still wanted me around. Well, it was somewhat true: he wanted me around as a trainer who could help bring back his Purrloin. That's all I was to him, if even that. Sometimes he would yell at me after Team Plasma escaped, blaming me.

And I just accepted it, because this was Hugh, and he was the most important thing to me—

I think I might love him.
