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?
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.]
[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.
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.
[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?

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

Sure.
