Voice

[As the feed turns on, there is the sound of the familiar voice.]

Hm? Is anyone there? Can anyone hear me?

What do you think Musharna? Do you think anyone can hear us?

[There wasn't anything she said in return but Bianca simply let out a giggle]

You're right, we don't know until we respond back! So here goes! [Ahem] Hi, everyone, I'm Bianca! I don't know what happened but...I think I'm back in Vatheon? Um...wasn't it a dream?

... that way.

[N points a finger back the way he'd come in to the plaza, though with a slight blink of confusion. He was sure Zoroark was fine, he hadn't said so otherwise.

Still, concern for Pokemon... it was nice to see.]

Then let's go!

[With that, she gestured N to go in front of her to go to the Inn! Although it did feel a bit awkward walking around with N to go find his pokemon...

So...now what?]

...Is Zoroark enjoying his stay in Vatheon too?

[Welp. To the Inn then! N is actually fine with leading the way.]

He's getting spoiled. The shop keepers think he's 'cute' and keep giving him treats.

Oh really?

[Bianca lets out a small giggle]

Then it just means that I'll have to give him more treats then! If he's going to be spoiled, we might as well!

[Bianca's giggle actually gets a very very tiny smile from N.]

Don't let him get another stomach ache, though.

Don't worry, I won't! I would be a bad pokemon professor if I did that!

[...he didn't know that did he...?]

Professor?

[Wow.

Why is he oddly proud of her, hearing that? Maybe it's just nice to know that he didn't actually hinder her future any.

Maybe he even helped it... ?

No. That'd be asking for too much.]

You've come a long way.

I wouldn’t say I’m a professor just yet!

[Now she’s embarrassed!] I’m still learning under Professor Juniper and I’m having a lot of fun learning about pokemon!

[Even if she isn’t too sure just yet] And I’m going to give it my all! I don’t want to disappoint Cheren and Hilbert, they would really sad that I didn’t try my hardest!

[N was about to say something to that, but the listed names catches his attention.

Hilbert... ?]

Who is Hilbert?

[Cheren he knows, but wasn't their friend's name Hilda?]</small.

[Blink blink]

You don't remember Hilbert? He's the one that saved Unova from Ghetsis! Don't you remember? He's the one with brown hair, baseball cap, blue jacket?

Does he sound familiar?

[Clearly not because she forgot the whole discussion she had with Cheren two years ago here]

No. I thought your traveling companion was a girl named Hilda.

[Color him confused.]

[...]

No, it was only me, Cheren, and Hilbert! I don't remember anyone named Hilda!

[Pause]

But that name does sound familiar though. Hm...I wonder where I heard it before...

... it's inconsistent.

[it's a mumble, directed more at himself than at her, but the worried frown on his features does seem to indicate some sort of displeasure with this revelation.]

[With that, Bianca raised an eyebrow at him. She could have heard something from him but...]

Um...is something wrong, N?

It's inconsistent. Your reality and mine. You know some one named Hilbert and I know some one named Hilda. It doesn't match up, even if we know each other.

Hilda? I don’t remember anyone named Hilda...I-

[It was then she cut herself short. Ooohhhh, now she’s starting to remember...]

Oohhh, I think I know what it might be. How much do you know about Vatheon?

I'm still learning about this place. Have I missed something?

[It's entirely possible.]

[...]

You know that there are a lot of people that come from different worlds right?

[....Does N know where Bianca was getting at?]

I've both heard and experienced that, but--

[Ohh, wait.]

Endless variations of the same world. Two different versions of Unova. Is that what you're saying?

[She gave a small nod]

Yes, that’s what it is! I know that Cheren was here a long time ago but I think he knew Hilda and yet...I knew Hilbert. I think they were here before too and that we had a long talk about it too!

[Now that she thought about it even more...she remembered how bad she felt knowing she didn’t remember Hilda...]

I wasn't expecting that.

[And he's not really sure how to process all of it. At least Bianca is the same, but if he had come across Hilbert (who probably knew him in their world as well) it would have been startling and possibly a little upsetting.

This way was... slightly easier.]

[Well now what? Should Bianca continue on this topic? She wasn’t sure but she did know one thing...]

But if you do come across Hilbert, you don’t need to worry! He’s really friendly, just like Hilda, and you wouldn’t have a problem talking to him! He’s really nice and helpful!

If you got along with Hilda, you’re going to get along with him just fine! [Hilbert befriends everyone.]

['Get along with'? N wouldn't have phrased it as such, but he wasn't about to argue against her choice of wording.]

I'll keep that in mind.

[Oh look ~~a distraction~~ the Inn!]

[Once they got to the inn, Bianca began looking around for a certain elevator]

Hm...your room shouldn’t be too far away right? Let’s see...

Oh Mister Zoroark, where can you be~♪

[It's not hard to find the room after that, and N has come and gone enough times now that he doesn't get lost. So he opens the door and sure enough there is Zoroark, sprawled out on his stomach, tongue lolling out of his muzzle. He looks up with a whine, which N returns with a frown.]

Don't be so dramatic. You're not dying, you just over ate.
