You sound pretty confident. [Uh-huh. Sure. He's not fazed at all by the baiting.] Sorry to have bothered you.

[In that case, he hands the cone over to Weavile. All yours, buddy.]

[50shadesofprotag]

Later.

[OFF SHE GOES! She's heading towards Nimbasa, it seems. Or at least Route 4. Hmm...]

1/3

[tsuntrader]

[...Well, lots of people head to Route 4 or Nimbasa. It's nothing to really talk about. To Route 4!]

[tsuntrader]

[AND SO, A FEW DAYS LATER, WHEN SILVER HAS SUFFICIENTLY BEEN INFESTED WITH SAND, HAS CAUGHT A FEW POKEMON, AND HAS FOUND A FOSSIL...]

[tsuntrader]

[He has found a new love of his goggles. Seriously. Alright, time to head to the Gear Station, time to go see dads. Daaads dads he's back after being gone for forever daaads.

There is nothing that could possibly stop him from going to see his dads right now. Nope. Nothing. Not at all. No distraction in the world would suffice.]

[50shadesofprotag]

[Not even that strange ponytail girl strutting right out of the Battle Subway, Emboar following behind her? The both of them, of course, looking so damn smug and proud of themselves.]

Made it to 160! We'll hit 200 wins next time, right buddy?

[The emboar rumbles, and Hilda laughs loudly, taking a big bite out of a choco-taco.]

I better get to Ingo, soon, too. He won't know what hit him!

[Except he will, Hilda, because no one "hits" him as hard as you do.]

[tsuntrader]

[...Excuse me, what- What is that thing- what are you-]

160? [He doesn't even notice the word slip out of his mouth. If she's talking about Ingo now, does that mean that some random girl beat Emmet? But- That--

...Wait a minute, hasn't he seen her before...?]

[50shadesofprotag]

Hmm?

[Nom nom bite of choco taco]

...Hey, you're the ice cream guy!

[tsuntrader]

[She beat Emmet-]



Ice cream guy?

[...Oh. Oh. That's why she looked familiar.] You're that girl from Castelia. [Who beat Emmet. Twice. And went on to defeat more than a hundred other trainers. No wonder why she was so cocky...]

[50shadesofprotag]

Yeah, the guy who got the last Castelia Cone and tried to give it to me. That was weird, was that pity or something? Whatever, Emmet gave me one of his ice creams.

[NOM NOM CHOCO TACO okay she's done, she pockets the wrapper.]

Name's Hilda!

[tsuntrader]

[It wasn't- but--

...Wait. Hilda. Hilda?]

-You're the one Emmet told me about? [She's the one that took down some crazy organization with the help some dragon Pokémon...]

[50shadesofprotag]

Emmet told you about me? When? No, why? He gives me the same recited speech every time when we're on the subway, he only says something different when we're out having fun.

[tsuntrader]

I talk to him all the time. He's-

[Wait no that's not the point.] He said you're some hero and that you know Professor Juniper. [This is where this conversation is going. Not to Ingo and Emmet. That's for later. Maybe. Dads can wait.]

[50shadesofprotag]

Yeah, I'm "The Hero of Unova", but that's just because I stopped some jerks from taking away everyone's Pokémon and it just happened to line up with some really cool legend. I mean, I'm not complaining, it's a pretty awesome title. And I'll probably go in history books or something.

[Modesty has never shown its face to Hilda, now has it...]

And I do! The Professor gave me my first Pokémon! Emboar here was my first, back when he was a little Tepig.

[tsuntrader]

[Y...eah. He's starting to see that.] Then she gave you a Pokédex, right? [And at this point that he pulls his own Pokédex out. His is obviously different, since, well, Johto, but it should be similar enough to be recognizable.]

[50shadesofprotag]

Yep. I've been working on getting it filled, but I've been chasing out the last bits of Plasma from the region. I'm pretty sure it's all cleared out, but I still keep finding one or two of them, thinking they can still get anything done in those stupid-looking uniforms!.

[tsuntrader]

[...Actually, while he's here, what does it say about you, you giant fire Emboar thing?]

Make sure they don't resurface in another two or three years.

[50shadesofprotag]

[And your Pokédex gives you some info! It can throw a fire punch by setting its fists on fire with its fiery chin. It cares deeply about its friends.

Hilda's none the wiser.]

That's part of the problem. I got six of the seven leaders arrested, but that last one is just plain gone. So's the guy who had Reshiram. They've been gone for a long time... I'll probably have to leave, and hunt them down.

[But then Unova is at risk of an uprising. PROTAG JOB IS HARD WHEN YOU'RE THE ONLY COMPETENT ONE.]

[tsuntrader]

[Excellent. At least he still has that feature. Now how about some of its moves, strengths and weaknesses... Come on Pokédex, you can still do this stuff, right? Come on, you can do it...]

Where would you go?

[50shadesofprotag]

[DexBro provides.]

Follow the rumors, mostly. I might be able to hunt down Hero Number Two, but that wouldn't even matter until I could find Ghetsis, and I've got nothing to go on. I don't think I want to take off until I know someone can actually pull my level of weight in Unova.

[tsuntrader]

[Good DexBro, best friend.]

Are you the only Pokédex Holder in Unova? [Was taking them down really just... All her...?]

[50shadesofprotag]

No, my friends Cheren and Bianca both worked on the Pokédex, too. But Cheren's thinking of becoming a gym leader, and Bianca is going to be a researcher.

[WIMPS, basically.]

They helped a lot, but they definitely aren't really the type to go sniffing out leads and hunting down Plasma. I'm definitely the power-house of the group.

[tsuntrader]

[...Okay, Unova is weird. Just leaving that out there. Unova is weird.

But at least it seems like it's in good hands. ...Mostly. ...Besides, if there's only one dex holder, maybe he can help out. But for now, he nods and casually slides his Pokédex back into his pocket.]

1/2

[50shadesofprotag]

So, you must be one of Emmet's close friends! And on top of that, you got a Pokédex from the Professor! Who're you, exactly?

[infinitegrin]

He's my son!

[SUDDENLY EMMET]
