That night the sky was illuminated by thousands of radiating stars in the skies of Celestia City. Both Hilda and Hilbert were in the heart of the blooming business and economy Celestia city was known for.

Hilda watched the reflection of clouds on the glass windows in awe from the last time she had been there. However, before them stood a tall skyscraper filled with cameras, people, the paparazzi, ready to take photos of Unova's "elite."

Noticing Hilbert's nervousness Hilda nudged him "relax, this type of places may seem intimidating but it's really not"

With a blank face, Hilbert fixated on the cameras "yeah, easy for you to say Miss 'Hero of Unova' you're used to it" he teased

"Would you just chill out" Hilda laughed,

Grabbing Hilbert's hand, Hilda pulled them to the reception

"Oh c'mon"

Both Hilda and Hilbert walked the red carpet being greeted by fans and paparazzi. The flashing lights, the cheers were enough to make Hilbert feel nervous. "Hilda I don't mean to make you look bad, but I don't know how to pose for these pictures" he scratched his head.

"Hilbert you think too much, all what you need to do is wave and pose like this." Hilda's simple pose was enough to capture the attention of a dozen cameras.

"Okay Miss Natural" Hilbert chuckled. Hilda's long elegant dress didn't go unnoticed by fans that whistled while she walked by.

"You know," he dusted his shoulder "Ben would have thrown a tantrum if he heard those guys whistling at you" Hilbert laughed

Hilda posed and gritted her teeth trying not to break the smile at the photographers "well you're not wrong"

After a while, the ceremony began, with big trumpets that sounded, while the board members including Hilda and the new champion Iris entered. While they sat, Cheren had joined, while speeches and announcements were given.

Cheren adjusted his tie, bringing focus to his steel blue suit

"You clean up well Cheren," Hilda chuckled

"If you'd dress like this more often, you'd be more likable ya now" she giggled

Cheren took a deep breath, making his skin flush in color. "You look great too" were the only words that came out of his mouth.

"Not talkative much? Maybe we'll see how talkative you are when I beat you in a single battle" Hilda smirked

Grabbing their attention, Hilbert swatted his hand in mid air pointing to the podium where the announcer stood about to introduce Hilda.

"You ready Hil?" he questioned

"No, but I will be. It's time for me to move on with my life" she gave a small smile. Hilda's eyes widened while the spotlight was on her.

She made her way up to the podium clenching her long slim dress from tripping her. She adjusted the microphone to her comfort and observed the many different types of people who attended. They ranged from champions, philanthropists, gym leaders, elite four to other important figures from the Hoenn, Johto, Kanto, Sinnoh, Alola, and Galar regions.

Slowly heat creeped to Hilda's face, making her feel nervous within every minute. She cleared her throat, knowing everyone knew who she was, 'the Hero of Unova.' Although she knew her title would slowly fade away starting from this night.

"Welcome everyone" Hilda could feel her throat strain on nervousness causing her palms to sweat. "My name is Hilda White, and I am the Champion of Unova."
