Some Things Never Change

Things leading to the present.

There he was, standing in that very desolate and ruined castle where it had happened. It was an incident which had changed his life. He could remember it all too well.

(Flashback start)

There he was watching a battle while supporting a tall, slender girl with brown hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a white sleeveless that reached her waist underneath a black waistcoat and a pair of denim shorts. Her hairstyle was not visible as she was wearing a hat similar to the boy gazing at the battle except that her hair came out of her hat. She was battling a trainer or as he called himself " a friend of pokemon ". He wore a white baseball cap which couldn't cover his long green hair. He could be seen wearing a white shirt and pants which could coffee coloured.

The battle itself was seen to be nearing the end. Each of them were commanding the two legendary dragons of Unova. The girl was commanding the Vast White pokemon and the boy on the other end was commanding the Deep Black pokemon. The boy commanded Zekrom to use Fusion Bolt and the dragon hit its counterpart with the electrifying attack. The girl commanded Reshiram and the white dragon let out a huge ball of fire at its opponent.

Smoke covered the floor of the castle and then each of them saw the Deep Black dragon on the ground defeated. In their last battle of ideals and truth the girl had won. "Hilda," the boy who had battled her called out to her. "I battled you because when we first met you at Accumula town I didn't believe that your pokemon were happy with you. It had conflicted with the beliefs that I had been living with until now and now I am afraid that I must leave for I have been deprived of dream." Meanwhile the girl approached him as he continued. "At Chargestone Cave you told me you have a dream. Make that dream come true Hilda," and with that he released Zekrom, climbed on top of him and made a gesture to the dragon to fly.

" N, wait! Don't go. I need you!" the girl yelled hoping that N would hear her. The boy behind her was broken as he loved her and his crush had just declared her love for someone who wasn't him, but he didn't show it. Instead he approached her and was about to speak some words of encouragement to the girl in front of him who was sobbing, but he was greeted with a push which made him stumble backwards. " Don't try to console me Hilbert, you don't possibly know how I feel, how anyone feels when someone whom you love just goes away from you," Hilda said to the boy who didn't say anything to her. He was shocked so much to even speak or to show emotion on his face and he just gazed as she called out her own dragon and commanded it fly in the direction in which N had previously left.

Now he was all alone in the castle of Team Plasma. He was as alone as he was six years ago. He quietly made his way down to the pokemon league. As he arrived at the bottom floor of the pokemon league he met a blonde girl who was concerned and bombarded him with questions related to what had happened in the castle, but he just walked ahead as if he had not heard her and continued to walk out of the pokemon league.

"What happened? Why is Hilbert acting this way? the blonde girl questioned. She was fidgeting restlessly. "I don't know what happened in the castle of Team Plasma, Bianca." the boy wearing glasses with an inverted red frame answered. "Where is Hilda? Hilbert and her had gone up there together, right Cheren?" Bianca said. "Whatever happened was something that caused Hilda to leave and get Hilbert shaken up." Cheren reasoned in his nerdy tone. They both went after their friend and were about to ask him about the incident, but Hilbert started " Guys," he gave took a pause and continued in a tone which was exactly opposite to his always cheerful tone " I know you want to know what happened but all I can tell you that Hilda left to follow N after well, uh..." he trailed of not wanting to tell his friends about the incident. Cheren noticed this and gave him a reassuring nod asking him to continue. Hilbert all this time had had his cap cover his eyes as he was quite shaken up. He refused even look at them as he didn't want to continue. He then release a pokemon which materialized as a Braviary. He climbed on it and motioned it to take off. He reluctantly left his friends without filling them in about what exactly had happened in the castle as he didn't want to stay here any longer.

(Flashback end)

Today, he had returned to that very place but right now he no longer wore a grey T-shirt under a light blue jacket with black pants. He now wore a black T-shirt and a hoodie with grey pants. The clothes that he wore now reflected his changed personality. He had changed drastically, his cheerful and carefree attitude had been replaced with a stoic and emotionless face which could strike fear in anyone's mind.

He made his way up towards the Pokemon league ready to take on the challenge so that his mind could stop coming back to the same question that repeated over and over in his mind.

Why do I always have to land in the same place again?
