Some Things Never Change

Preparations for Absofusion

Hey you guys I think you have waited long enough for this chapter. Not much to say other than that this chapter will reveal the bulk of the plot.

I would also like to extend my thanks the authors who have given me useful tips, although living up to their expectations will probably take some time.

I don't own pokemon.

Here we go....

Last time on Some Things Never Change

Black woke up in sweat, panting and breathing heavily. " I thought that the memories won't be back in sleep again", he thought. He got out of the bed and went towards the balcony and said, "Something big is about to be set in motion", while fingering something in his pocket. A Master Ball.

Present Time

Iris was heading towards the champion's room. Why she was still here when there was a new champion was not known. She had refused to be a part of the Elite Four saying that she had more "important" work to do.

Speaking of the Elite Four, Grimsley had been following her since morning. Being the shady character as his Elite Four type denotes him to be, he was in the shadows and Iris hadn't noticed him following him yet.

Iris entered the champion's room, and Grimsley realising that he couldn't follow Iris any further grit his teeth and went back to his tower. The conversation that followed inside the room wouldn't be revealed to him, but in time he will know the truth.

As soon as Iris left, Black sat down at his desk and resumed his work. He was thinking deeply about his cover. He thought to himself, "What would happen if his cover was blown and the league would get to know who he really was ? And what about the means he used to get to this position?".

Being tired we went out in the balcony and breathed in the fresh air. "Dad please guide me in this mission, I don't know what to do next", he said while looking up towards the heavens where he knew his father was, but his question, as he knew won't be getting a response from his father, remained unanswered.

Until , he heard a sound. A sound not a voice. A sound of a living being but not from its mouth or any vocal organ it had. Curious he turned his head in the direction of the sound and an object, no a pokemon with a white trail and blue sparks. It headed down from the north and headed towards Victory Road. Assuming what was going to be a strong impact he gripped his arms on the railing of the balcony. Instead of crashing pokemon slowed down and headed off into one of the many caves of Victory Road.

Black rushed out of the league building in the direction of the Victory Road. He was going find that pokemon . He knew it had something to do with his quest and he would take it as a sign from his father.

Mistralton City

At the same time two trainers one male and one female were walking out of the Mistralton City Gym. The boy had won his 6th badge and grinning happily while admiring it. Smiling at her companion the girl said to him, "You sure look happy Nate". The boy now identified as Nate nodded and replied, "Why wouldn't I be Rosa? With every badge I win, its one step closer to the Pokemon League and to being a Champion, that's what my dream is."

Rosa smiled again but then went into thought about why she was journeying across Unova. "To find N" she thought to herself, she had so many questions to her former king but before that she had to find him first. She also had managed to keep her identity as former Team Plasma member, a secret from everyone, or so she thought.

Walking beside her, unbeknownst to her Nate was monitoring her every expression as he wanted the object that N had trusted Rosa with. He knew that she hadn't found out what it was but he was going to be there when she did, it was duty as a member of the International Police.

Like Rosa he had been hiding his identity too, but had been slightly more successful. Collecting badges and becoming Unova's champion was just his cover, a reason to tag along with her, or was it something more? Only time would tell.

In the caves of Victory Road

Hilbert had searched every cave that came in the path from the start of the Victory Road to entrance of the Pokemon League he still hadn't located the pokemon he had seen earlier.

Then it hit him.

Could it be? No. It was worth a shot though. And so he headed down that fateful path once again. Arceus save the rider of that pokemon if he was who Hilbert thought he was. He headed down the path and into the cave where Team Plasma's castle was and indeed the pokemon now identified as the Deep Black pokemon was standing right there in the middle in all of its glory beside its trainer.

N.

Without thinking Hilbert rushed upon him and dealing blow after blow. As he was going in for another punch, in a twist of fate he missed and lost N from his grasp. Upon to get him again he ran towards him, but Zekrom blocked his way.

Clearing his throat after taking the beating N finally spoke," Before you take rash decisions, just hear me out". His opponent opened his mouth to speak, but he was stopped as N interrupted him, "Hilbert, it's so good to see you!".

So much for hearing him out, but it had the intended effect on Hilbert. He did calm down and surprised, he asked, "You remember me?" In response, N said "Know you? Ohhhh I know all too well what you are up to here and besides she told me all about you." "You know all about me? And wait by her do you mean Hilda? I thought she was with you." Realising that this could probably take some time, N gestured to the steps behind him so that they could sit and talk. After they were seated, N recalled Zekrom in its Ultra ball and continued," Yes, I meant Hilda and I know what Ghetsis did to your parents." What followed was a long and uncomfortable silence. "So," Hilbert said finally breaking the calm, "Why are you here?"

N realising that it was time took a deep breath and said, "Hilbert, Team Plasma has caused a lot of hardships for you and I believe in some way I was also responsible for them. So as to make amends I wish to help you bring an end to Ghetsis-". Hilbert interrupted him, " So you are handing Zekrom over to me permanently?" Astonished as to how he had found out about his motives, N opened his mouth to question but realising that there was only one logical way of doing that, he asked "So you have its power huh?" Hilbert nodded and asked "Are you sure about this?" N nodded, handed him Zekrom's Ultra ball and said "I am very much sure, you will be a great trainer for him. Now I must leave."

Hilbert put a hand on N's shoulder as he was about to leave and asked, "But where?" To which N replied, " Somewhere, but not without the company of my friends", referring to the pokemon and left.

Hilbert gazing at the Ultra ball in his hand had that thought in his mind, "Spartan mayor, we have got some business to do." And so he went out called out Braviary and headed south.

Now then Hilbert has got 2 legendary pokemon now.

BTW Whoever finds out where Hilbert is heading now and to meet whom will get a shout out in the next chapter. My thoughts, "It is too easy."

Until Then
