Hey! Hilda here. If you've gotten this, then I'm probably busy at the moment. I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

Something you should look into. I'm not good with books.

[It's his fault she's not going to be able to destroy any evidence of Victini's legend, too. He should deal with them on his own.]

[idealord]

[He frowns, but concedes.]

All right, all right. I guess it makes since as to why you'd want to burn them, if that's the case.

[realady]

You're the one who said you'd hide them.

[idealord]

[He holds his hands up in self-defense.]

And I will! I'm just teasing you, that's all. I'll take care of everything.

[realady]

[She wasn't going to bite him or anything.]

You're a great guy, Hilbert. Stubborn with the mind of an old man, but a great guy.

[idealord]

[It's a peace-keeping sign! He lowers his hands, grinning.]

And you're something else yourself, you know. Bull-headed and beautiful, a real lady warrior who wants things done her way no excuse.

[realady]

Bull-headed?



[Beautiful?]

[idealord]

Bull-headed.

[He's not changing either of those.]

[realady]

...I guess I'll agree I can be pretty bull-headed. Mom says I got it from my dad.

[idealord]

It's a good trait, trust me. That's what got you Reshiram after all.

[realady]

I guess. [She doesn't like talking about Reshiram. It still makes her feel like the hero she doesn't deserve to be.] What got you Zekrom then, your openness?

[idealord]

I never asked the big guy. [Hm. What had it been? His spirit maybe? Or was it really his openness that appealed to the dragon?]

Maybe. When I try to think back to that moment when Zekrom woke up, it's all... blurry. It happened so fast and I just... [He trails off, furrowing his brows.] I wanted to show N that an ideal world, one where both sides were happy, included humans and Pokémon working together. I didn't want to free the Pokémon that'd become my family, you know? I wanted to live a long time with them.

[His heart, in the end, appears to be what won Zekrom over. His love of his Pokémon and the fierceness he'd display even towards a friend to protect that.]

[realady]

[Hilbert really was a great guy -- with an ideal like that...

Her own had been similar, but it was a reality. Humans would always catch pokemon and keep them in poke balls; they would always be together like that, fighting alongside each other and being friends.

Somehow, it seems more selfish than Hilbert's ideal.]

It's the same for me. I was about to cry when Reshiram hadn't woke up and I was facing N.

[She's not afraid to admit that much, at least.]

[idealord]

I wanted to still fight him, even against the odds of him having a dragon when I didn't.

[She may be bull-headed, but he's just as bad. He shakes his head with a small sigh.]

I didn't know if I'd win or not, but I was going to try. With or without Zekrom's recognition. To be honest... I guess I might've been crying too. Maybe that's why it's all blurry.

[realady]

[Her failing, with this new knowledge, is she was scared to fight N without Reshiram. She had faith in her team; she loved them; but facing against a legend, one of the dragons who had torn apart Unova time after time?

Hilda nods and stands. She's tired of sitting down, and she takes Victini from Hilbert. She needs it too.]

This dinner's turned out pretty depressing, hasn't it?

[idealord]

[He lets her easily, too, because she seems pretty down and tired.]

My bad, really. Do you want me to walk you downstairs? [Because he's got a feeling she wants to leave.]

[realady]

I'll be fine. [Victini chirrups to Eeks, and Hilda smiles.] Thanks though. We should do this more often.

[idealord]

[Eeks statics back and bounces around Hilda briefly before returning to Hilbert's shoulder.] Yeah, we should. I'll catch you whenever?

[He really is sorry for turning this whole thing depressing.]

[realady]

[It was her fault first.]

Sure.

[And out she goes.]

VALENTINE'S DAY

[idealord]

[For Hilda, there is a paper-towel wrapped white rose peeking from under her door! There's no indicator of who left it by her door (but they must have been very far up and very handsome young man), just a tag with her name on it.]

Re: VALENTINE'S DAY

[realady]

[She'll treasure it, mysterious anonymous sender. At least until Victini wakes up and eats it.]

[direhit]

Seriously? [She giggles a little.] Were you traveling around with it for good luck? I wish I could have taken a stuffed Pokemon with me too on my journey.

[Okay, so she's being silly, but honest and sincere. She misses the rest of her team and a plush would kind of help in that department.]

It's not a Pokemon I've ever seen before though.
