Hilda's POV
"Don't worry Miss.Ketchum,Red will be fine I promise" I reassured Miss.Ketchum,I pushed away the tear in my eyes away as I patiently waited for the doctors to say something, anything about Red's condition. I pushed back tears from the coprate building in Saffron City,I was kidnapped by Team Rocket grunts for 3 months they exchanged me in Saffron City along with me and Tepig,I haven't seen her in a long time I missed my starter Pokémon so much I missed my friends,my family if Red didn't save me Arceus knows what would've become of me. Unfortunately Red was injured during the battle against him and Giovanni trying to protect me I owe a huge debt to him and I can't pay it back no matter what.
"I hope so" Miss.Ketchum sighed placing her hands in her head "anyways Hilda,you can call me Delia it's a pleasure to meet you,thank you for letting me know about Red it's nice to know that people care about my son" Delia told me,what was my relationship with Red actually? He's cute,silent,brave,and puts others before him he always talked to me trying to reassure me that everything will be alright but now I wasn't so sure I've been traumatized by the actions of Team Rocket and a glimmer of hope showed up that I never thought would come back came and rescued me,Arceus heard my prayers.
"Yeah he's a very nice,well behaved boy" I responded petting Tepig in her head,I sighed what was my true feelings towards Red?
He protected me
He became my best friend
He saved me
And what have I done,I've just allowed him to hurt himself a painful feeling appeared in my heart as if it was being ripped right off of my chest everytime that memory haunted my dreams since last weekend.
"It's Easter,why don't you go back home with your parents Hilda?" Delia asked,a hot tear went down from my cheek landing on Tepig's warm head
"T-they're dead" I cried, hugging Tepig tighter "you see when I was younger I played around with my twin brother Hilbert in the park with my parent's Pokémon Gardevoir and Samurott one day we left alone and when we came back...." I tried holding back tears,but they just wanted to leave so badly that it hurt more concealing them then to let it go "our house was burned down along with my parents,my mom's best friend Aurea Juniper,or Professor Juniper took us in when we turned 10 Hilbert chose Oshawott as his starter and I chose Tepig Team Plasma and Team Rocket had a huge fight and they kidnapped me,I never saw Hilbert again" I sobbed pathetically hugging Tepig for comfort,I felt someone hugging me and it was Delia reassuring me "after 3 months of being locked up,Red came in and saved me unfortunately I couldn't do the same I'm sorry" I responded like a complete weakling,
"It's okay you're safe now" Delia reassured me
"Red Ketchum?" The doctor called,me and Delia stood up immediately the doctor walked to us with a pitying glances at us.
"Your son suffered a major amount of trama in Saffron City,I'm sorry to say after a reviewing some tests your son is Mute" The doctor said,it felt like my whole world went upside down Red is incapable to talk,his last words to me before he passed out trying to defend me from that power gem was
It's going to be alright Hilda.
No,it's not going to be alright is what he should've meant
"Mute?!" Delia shrieked,I bit my bottom lip trying not to break down in tears Tepig tried to squirm off my arms because I was hugging her too tight.
"C-can I go see him p-please?" I studdered holding back tears, the doctor nodded and headed me and Delia towards his room where he was sleeping peacefully in his hospital bed.I took a chair and sat down next to his bed, today's been exhausting not only for me but for Delia as well.
"It's really reliving to see that Red is okay" I yawned,using my arm as a pillow and using Tepig as a blanket
Later that night, I dreamt about a mountain not that far away from here
You wish to have him back do you? Arceus asked,I nodded my head depressingly a black void dream mist surrounded me a figure that looked so much like Red dissapeared slowly I tried to catch up to him,but he was long gone when I came to him.
Red's POV
I woke up to a start I just felt like I needed to wake up,like someone needed me. I woke up in a hospital bed,Hilda shaking her head muttering something that sounded like come back my mom in a chair in the corner with Pikachu.
"Tepig Tep?" Hilda's Tepig woke up,I smiled then realized Hilda was sleeping next to my hospital bed. I wanted to call out to her,but I couldn't say her name she looked peacefully beautiful sleeping her arm resting on my bed and her head resting on her arm. It felt like yesterday when I first met her in the Silph co building,trapped in a cage I had to free her when I did I asked her to leave even though a part of me wanted her to stay, she refused to go until she saved her Tepig,and all of her Pokémon I told I would do it but she refused and she well kinda stuck to me. We entered a room Pokémon and scientists layed across the floor like ragdolls all dead I wanted to throw up and rage filled my body and swore revenge on all those people,Hilda nearly fainted in my arms even though she knew perfectly what those people were capable of.
"Pika Pi!" Pikachu tackled me in my bed and woke Hilda up,she was crying and a pain appeared throughout my body like I felt her pain.
"Red great to see that you're awake" Mom yawned, standing up next to Hilda's side I couldn't talk or say anything poor Hilda looked flustered however.
"Good morning" Hilda said walking off the door,I wondered where she was going I wanted to ask but no sound came out.
"Hilda where are you going?" Mom asked,she turned to face us her beautiful aqua blue eyes facing us her Tepig loyally stayed by her side.
"I'm.....going to visit someone" she said,she's lying she was shaking she bit her bottom lip and she usually brushes her hair before leaving to go anywhere.
"Really well then go ahead then Hilda" Mom encouraged,and Hilda walked out the door she usually scratch that always bids her farewells before leaving anyone something must be wrong. I tried standing up but my Mom stopped me
"Red sweetheart you have to rest,after Saffron City you were left weak and you need all the rest you need for our transition back to Pallet Town next week" my Mom informed me,what I was stopping my journey? Then who's going to take care of Giovanni? Who's going to keep my idiot friend in check?and by that I mean Green, all that hard work that me and Pikachu attempted to be the very best...all crumpled down,and Hilda...I know I shouldn't be caring much about her since I saved her twice but somehow I have this feeling that I've known her my whole life but I have this feeling that won't stop bothering me that I need to protect her
I'm not going to give up so easily
