Hilda woke up alone in her bed. She found that odd. She never woke up alone anymore- she always woke up with N's arms around her. She felt cold without his added warmth.

With a frown, she got up out of bed and stretched her arms above her head. That's when she noticed an out of place folded paper on their dresser. She walked over to the dresser and picked up the paper, reading its contents.

Good morning my love! Sorry I am not there to wake up with you this morning, but I had to go out. I would love it if you could do me a favor!

Hilda groaned. He probably wanted her to go off to the store and pick up something he forgot.

Remember where we first met?

Hilda raised a curious eyebrow. Of course she remembered- Accumula town. Right in the heart of the town.

I need you to go there. See you in a bit!

~N

Hilda frowned, "Go there and do what?" She wondered. She got ready for her day, thinking about why N would want her to go to Accumula town.

With no answers, Hilda strolled out of the bedroom and into the main part of the apartment she shared with her boyfriend. She found Zoroark lazily laying on the mat by the front door.

"Hey Zoroark," Hilda whistled. Zoroark opened one eye to look at Hilda, "What's this all about?" She asked, showing it the letter.

Zoroark just smirked and closed its eye again. Hilda stomped her foot on the floor.

"Hey! C'mon I know you know!"

Zoroark laughed and got up from its napping spot. It sat by the door, nodding its head towards the doorknob.

"You just want me to leave so you can look for the peanut butter I hid..." Hilda accused.

Zoroark shrugged. Hilda rolled her eyes and grabbed her keys and bag off the stand by the door.

"Fine. Don't tell me...Have fun searching for the peanut butter." Hilda said, exiting the apartment and locking it.

She had not bought more peanut butter.

~~~

"Ugh I really should have eaten breakfast..." Hilda groaned, complaining to her Unfezant after they landed at their destination.

Unfezant rolled his eyes, "And why is it my problem?" He seemed to say.

"Take pity on your dear old trainer, Unfezant."

Unfezant shook his head.

Hilda sighed and pulled out Unfezant's Pokéball, "You don't have to give me attitude. Return."

A red light sucked Unfezant back into its Pokéball, leaving Hilda all alone in town.

"What am I even supposed to be doing here...?" She asked herself, hoping an answer would just appear to her.

Something touched her leg.

With a surprised scream, she noticed a Purrloin with a very confused look on its face.

The Purrloin handed Hilda a piece of paper after she regained composure.

Hello Hilda! If you are reading this, you decided to do me that favor. That is so kind of you. You are probably wondering what you are here for, right?

Duh.

Well I just want you to remember. Remember when we first met. I knew right away there was something different about you. Your Pokémon...Snivy. He spoke so highly of you I wondered if you could hear him too. But you could not...Not back then anyway. We battled. You used Snivy, I used the Purrloin that gave you this letter.

Hilda looked at the Purrloin. It seemed to know why she looked at it and waved.

That day you were just a trainer. Just a reason I wanted to free Pokémon.

My, I am rambling. Do me another favor? Go to the museum in Nacrene city. Please? For me?

~N

Hilda smiled. She almost wished the letter was longer. She had no idea what N was up to, but she knew he was being adorable.

Hilda looked down at Purrloin, "Is there some occasion I'm forgetting?" She asked. Purrloin shrugged and ran off.

"Rude."

~~~

"Sorry Unfezant. I have a feeling we'll be flying around a lot today." Hilda apologized, smiling sheepishly at her Pokémon.

Unfezant rolled his eyes.

Hilda would just ride Zekrom, but Zekrom caused too big of a scene. She only rode on Zekrom in emergencies or to cover long distances.

Hilda returned Unfezant to his Pokéball and strolled inside the Nacrene city museum. She was immediately greeted by Lenora.

"Hey there hun!" Lenora chirped. Her Watchog greeted Hilda with a squeak.

Hilda pat Watchog on the head, "Hey Lenora."

"What brings you here?"

Hilda blushed, "Uh...I actually don't really know..."

Lenora smirked and pulled a piece of paper from her pocket, "This perhaps?"

Hilda smiled and took the paper from Lenora.

Hello again my love! By this point in the day, I miss you so so much. Now, you probably do not remember this battle-

Not true. She remembered every battle.

But I do. I remember the fire in your eyes and your determination to win. Little did I know how I would long to see that fire again.

Of course, you had won that battle, as always. I was still having trouble wrapping my head around you. You...You were just like any other trainer I had encountered, but at the same time you were different. Your pure love for battles and your Pokémon was unlike anything I had ever seen. It still is.

Now I know you are probably sick of this now, but I would like you to go to Chargestone Cave.

~N

Hilda sighed, "I love this man..." She swooned.

Lenora chuckled, "Well, better get a move on."

"Hey Lenora?"

"Yeah?"

"Got any food?"

~~~

Hilda took a bite of the sandwich Lenora gave her as she trudged through Chargestone Cave. What was she even supposed to be looking for?

A note- she knew that much. But why? Had she forgotten some occasion?

N often remembered things Hilda didn't- she had even forgotten their anniversary last year. Hilda had felt so bad, telling N she would do anything to make up for it. He ended up requesting she bring him all the vanilla cupcakes from her grandmother's bakery. He had eaten them all in one night and gotten sick, so Hilda had taken the day off from work to take care of him. She didn't mind though. An extra few hours with N was never a bad thing.

A piece of paper floated down from the ceiling of the cave and Hilda snatched it out of the air. She looked up to see a very bored looking Ferroseed.

That one's N's alright... Hilda thought, scanning the letter.

My Hilda! We are nearly done now as by this time it is long past lunch.

It was. Flying around all day was a lot, and it had taken hours just to get to this point in the wild goose chase.

Now here is where things got interesting. I could not stop thinking about you. I asked the Shadow Triad to gather information on you and your friends. I asked for very trivial information like you favorite color, favorite book, etc.

You had told me that was creepy. I did not understand why then, but now...I am surprised you did not run away and never spoke to me again.

I am glad you did not.

Hilda smiled.

Our battle this time around was...different. You made unusually quick work of my friends and I. Perhaps I let you. Perhaps you were just that much stronger. I chose to believe the latter. Why would I let some trainer I did not know beat me with such ease? Why would I let them win so easily? Why would I let my friends get hurt so easily?

I do not mean to hurt your pride by suggesting that I let you win- it is just a theory after all.

After we had parted ways, I knew I had to see you again. I had to.

I will not tell you where to go this time. I would like you to figure it out.

~N

Hilda knew where to go next. Or at least, she thought she did.

(A/N. Aaaaand here's the first half. Yay

Jeez what is going on here?

What is N up to?

Who knows?

Ya know

Besides me

So uh

K thx bai!)
