...of course you'd pick that point. [:T]

Can we not? I know Hilda can handle herself, but I am going to worry if I leave her to deal with N and that dragon by herself. N-Not to mention no-one knows where the Lightstone is and N did say that we - It's - can we even win against Zekrom without Reshiram? Don't get me wrong, I want to win.. Maybe it's weak, but I don't want us to lose any more pokemon while we try to stop N and his inane plan.

[Training up replacements is a pain in the butt.] It doesn't matter I'm going to a 'hug game' [He doesn't need hugs only lies he needs them.] if I'm going to worry about my sister and friends. At east I get to keep my team.

Maybe you can enable your friend to bring Hilda and find Cheren and Bianca for us.

( hug game? that sounds dreadful. humans, getting together and hugging en mass? revolting! )

I suggest you muster a lot more conviction than this before you even consider looking for Reshiram, lest your ideals fall before me and my inane plan.

( if he was the evil cackling type like his nutso dad, N would totally be cackling evilly about now. thankfully he isn't! )

[dancingheart]

[God damn, Hilbert's mun, could you have seriously picked a worse time to send his muse to a game? This dude isn't amused.]

The best you could hope for is that they'll put your canon point on hold until they drop you.

But muns aren't exactly known for being considerate.

:O

[newstart]

[Oh yay it's the last person he wants to see right now. Have a scowl, N.] We can't find it if we don't know where the Lightstone is. But I'll just whip up some confidence along with a butt-kicking. Hilda and I owe you for that ferriswheel stunt anyway.

[Good. Hilbert would rather not be freaked out. That comes later in his AU.]

[newstart]

[That is an evil cackle coming from the 4th wall.

Meanwhile Hilbert is just 0.0!] Yea. Or pick a different one. Or ze could be nice and not planning anything bad.

Yea.

[Fffff. How does he talk to Unovan Elite Four?]

(≖‿≖) kekekekeke...!

[gentle]

( they can't even find the lightstone? hah! the condescension in his stare is so palpable, you could cut it with a knife. )

Just like that? It sounds to me like you're relying on luck rather than skill, Hilbert. Perhaps I was wrong about you? A pity, since your Pokemon praised you so much.

( he has no idea who hilda even is but he doesn't actually care. he just assumes it's another one of hilbert's dumb friends who couldn't battle their way out of a paper bag tbh. )

[dancingheart]

Think of it as a test of fortitude. If you can survive for long enough without your other Pokemon or your fellow trainers, there's probably a thing or two you can stand to learn along the way.

[Sorry, he's trying not to laugh here. Because hug game]

Even if it's about hugs.

[Why does that one girl get to go to the hugging game and not him, mun, not like he likes hugging that much but it's a lot better than where he ended up.]

<3 Ironically, this N is about on par with Hilbert's N.

[newstart]

[It's not his fault his world hid the lightstone really, really good.] Yea right. I have seven badges and that proves my skill as a trainer. Of course my pokemon would praise me. I'm a skilled trainer who knows how to battle with them.

[Er...Hilbert? That's not what N meant; not that Hilbert would openly admit to treating his pokemon better than average.] Wrong? About me? Please. I could kick your butt three ways to next Sunday!

[...the overconfidence is strong with this one.]

[newstart]

Eh, my team's pretty strong so I'm not worried about that. [Good, because otherwise there would be scowling and glowering. Lots of it.] Like what?

[Because the muns are evil, that's why.]

♡♡♡ N's crazy clearly crosses all universal boundaries

[gentle]

As if pieces of metal awarded by an institution based on the harm of Pokemon mean anything!

( grr! battling really is all humans seem to care about. it's deplorable! )

You may be able to beat me in battle, but when it comes to understanding the true beauty of Pokemon, you can't even dream of being on my level. If bravado is all you have to offer then I truly will crush your will when the time comes!

( it feels a little strange to realize that hilbert apparently doesn't understand him as he had hoped, and N can kind of guess that he's stomping all over any chances they have of being friends, but oh well. he can just force hilbert to be his friend after he takes over unova. problem solved! )

Yep. It's slightly worse with the AU N because of his role + world. /)(\

[newstart]

They fight because they want to and wild pokemon do it all the time, so it's natural for them. [Or so the common mindset is in his world. That and no-one from it (save outcasts) really gives a lick about what pokemon really want. Hilbert sorta does, but ahhh... he's still a product of his world.]

Ha - Let's put that to the test then. Here and now! [Battling is the best way to solve any disputes y/y?

Oh N. You didn't ruin the chances - Hilbert's N's doing that just fine, but you have made them worse. Also the mun could get behind the idea of Hilbert being forced into being N's friend.]

(ʘ‿ʘ) oh my...i would love to hear about it sometime if you don't mind

[gentle]

( wait what. hilbert's always been brave but what he just said...it doesn't seem right at all. )

What you just said...

( it sounded as if he condoned battling, like he was just like all the humans N was warned about-- the cruel ones who saw pokemon as tools of war and all that jive. )

You can't be serious, Hilbert! Wild Pokemon fight for territory and survival, to keep the natural order of their world-- not for human purposes... I thought you understood that!

( N is honestly shocked, feels as if he could vomit. why would he say such terrible things?

he shakes his head, an expression of disgust and betrayal on his face. his mun is an evil person and conveniently didn't tell him this hilbert is an au. oopsies! )

I refuse to battle you until you explain yourself! Answer me!

( N's mun, evil creature that they are, could also get deep into that idea. meanwhile, N is a clusterfuck of confused and conflicted emotions, but that's honestly fairly ordinary. )

:D I don't mind, it'a bit of a grimdark AU though

[newstart]

I do! Pokemon battle for us humans because they want to, not because we make them. [Oh N, you have no idea. Hilbert's been conditioned to accept pokemon as tools - and the lie that they battle because they want to. His are valued, well treated ones (they have to be, given ghosts are kinda their own special clusterfuck in his world), but they are tools. Maybe friends if he was willing consciously entertain the notion.] I have nothing to explain to a coward who won't even battle.

[..Yea, his mun hasn't told him N isn't his N either. FUN TIMES!

Yeessss. It sounds like a fun idea to entertain the muns while the muses flail around all confused.]

[ourfirststeps]

[Oh Hilbert]

Wait, what do you mean lose anymore pokemon?

[newstart]

In battle...? [After the drama with N, Hilbert's going to approach someone who looks like one of his bffs with some caution.

Weird for him, but hey, he'd rather be safe than sorry.]

1/2

[debuts]

{HUFFS LOUDLY IN YOUR EAR}

We'll be fine! Gosh, I've managed okay when we've been separated before.

2/2

[debuts]

{Her smiles softens, and she throws an arm around his shoulders.}

Besides, my mun says that she'll look into it. So maybe I'll come with you after all!

Re: 2/2

[newstart]

[jdhksjha JUMPS!] I know sis, but this is against an immortal dragon. I don't want to see you get hurt.

[and her smile gets a grin in return. Aww yes, sis bonding times!] I hope you do and with a better canon point.

[His sucks ok. It could always be worse, Hilbert]

[ourfirststeps]

What battle? You mean pokemon battles?

[Makes the most sense but that's a bit extreme though...

But then again, Bianca had seen how much N has grown. She didn't think he would do anything like that.]

Well...at least you get to keep your team in that game you're going in right?

[newstart]

Yea... If you're not careful, most trainers assume you battle to the death. [Something of a shrug? he doesn't mean to be nonchalant about it but... he's also used to it.]

Yea, from what my mun says, which is good. I don't want to part with my ghosts. [He likes his mostly ghost team. It freaks most people out.]

[debuts]

I'm pretty tough! {Hands on hips--! And then she deflates a little, because...}

...don't tempt her. She's, uh, well.

{Post-abduction, anyone?}

[newstart]

I know. I guess I'm just scared by the thought of us having to fight an Immortal. I mean, we will stop the crazy plan, but.. It's kinda really daunting.

... Evil like all muns.

[Yes please - I MEAN!]]

omg cha-ching $_$ that sounds genuinely perfect tbh

[gentle]

Hilbert!

( what in the world is wrong with him?! if N doesn't talk, he really will toss his cookies, and his brain-to-mouth filter has always been on the fritz, so hopefully hilbert's ready for a rant. )

How can you say that?! Even if they did, how can you not think it cruel to use them as tools?! They have such rich, beautiful hearts, and they yearn for your friendship just as much as I do!

( come on N don't be a huge baby no crying no crying!!! he clenches his fists instead and shakes his head with indignation. )

And yet...you speak of them as if they have no souls...!

( N still hasn't figured out that his mun loves making him upset-- probably because making him happy also fills them with jigglypuffy feelings too. poor thing!

the fury of the pure is reflected in his grey eyes, along with betrayal. why hilbert why!!! we rode the ferriswheel together!!! )

Was I wrong about you all this time, Hilbert? Is that how you really feel about Pokemon...and about me as well?

( because he was born of pokemon, of course. )

All the info on the AU is linked on Hilbert's profile :D?

[newstart]

If they didn't want to be used as tools, they wouldn't allow it. Pokemon obey us because they want to. You know it's true - you can talk to Deimos again if you want. [A shrug. He's going to ignore the rest of what was said because he's not wanting to get into it, again.]

I don't know. You're the one that's only just put the weight of Unova on my sister and I's shoulders, Plasma King.

whoa dang all that actually sounds pretty cool OwO

[gentle]

Who is Deimos? Why would I trust their word over my own experiences and the power of truth?

( he shakes his head again, trying to make sense of this whole ordeal. )

They are certainly mad, just like you...

( though, N is definitely positive hilbert doesn't have a sister-- and if he does, he's never met her before. )

I have never met your sister, Hilbert, I don't know who she is or what you are talking about! Unova's fate no one's responsibility but yours and mine!

We would love to have an N :3c I'm on primusforged on aim if you wanna talk it out.

[newstart]

[Hope you're not afraid of cofagrigus, N. Because that is one coming out of a rather strange looking greatball.] This is Deimos. Had him since he was a yamask. He was the first of my ghosts.

[The ghost just waves with a not-so-friendly grin that's par the course for his species.]

Er...[Sideways look because wtf.] Yes, you have. Her name's Hilda and she has a samurott. She's a little tougher than I am.

[Yet he still likes to be protective of his twin.] You choose us both to defend Unova from the inane plan you have.
