(Hilda's POV)

We had been walking through the searing heat of the Unova Desert to get to our next destination. We decided to take a break so we could rest from the heat "Ash we could stop by the Desert Resort" I suggested to Ash who just ignored me "Ash we need to rest or we will collapse from the heat" I said in concern before he turned around to look back with a serious look on his face.

"Hilda we need to hurry up or a lot of people are going to get killed if we don't stop Neo Team Plasma" Ash stated before turning around starting to walk ahead as he started to walk in a zigzag pattern before collapsing on the sand. I quickly ran up to Ash in concern "I will be fine" Ash told me before picking himself up from the desert floor.

"Ash you are exhausted we need to take a break now because when we make it to Nimbasa City in this shape you won't be in any condition to help anyone else" I explained to Ash who moved his head and looked at me. "So Ash what will we do?" I asked him before he looked around thinking about our next stop.

"Alright we'll go to the Desert Resort we can use this time to rest up and prepare our Pokémon" Ash said without smiling as he picked himself up and started to walk slowly towards a four story building. "What is this place?" Ash asked quietly.

"This is the Desert Resort Ash" I responded calmly as I looked around trying to find the people that normally exit the building "This is odd Ash this place is usually busy right about now but there is no one in sight" I said seriously as the wind started to pick up "oh shit the wind is picking up this could be bad" I pointed out with a frown.

"What do you mean Hilda?" Ash asked me before we entered into the foyer of the Desert Resort as sand began to swirl around outside of the building "a sand storm just what we didn't need" Ash remarked in frustration before he looked around the foyer to find a scene of devestation "what the fuck happened here?" Ash asked as I looked around in shock.

"Seems like someone attacked the Desert Resort but why this place?" I asked while we started to walk around the place finding dead people all over the main foyer. Ash looked around in another area to find some clues.

"Hilda you need to come and look at this!" Ash called out to me. I ran to Ash's location to find out what he found that was so interesting "This emblem belongs to Neo Team Plasma I thing they killed everyone in the building" Ash remarked as his began to lose his temper "this asshole is barely alive maybe we can get so information out of him" Ash remarked coldly as he called out to the grunt in anger. "Alright you tell us what happened" Ash ordered the dying Neo Plasma grunt.

"…..We attacked this place to frame the Gym leaders" the grunt said with a smile "…I was attacked by a large pokemon …. Darmanitan" the grunt said as he started to fade away from our injuries. "Our… ultimate plan will soon take shape and there is nothing you can do abo…" the Grunt stated before succumbing to his injuries.

"Ultimate plan that doesn't sound good Ash" I pointed out in concern before a loud noise was heard on the next floor "Ash what was that?" I asked as we started to run up the stairs. "Ash look that's a Darmanitan that is a very powerful pokemon Ash" I told Ash who started to walk up to the large fire type pokemon. "Becareful Ash this one looks angry" I said in concern for Ash's safety.

"I will be fine Hilda" Ash responded as he continued to walk towards the large red pokemon. "You're hurt right you need to stay still so I can help you out" Ash told Darmanitan Ash continued to move towards the powerful pokemon. I watch as Ash tried to calm Darmanitan down before he was sent flying by the large pokemon.

"Ash are you alright?" I screamed out in shock after Ash hit the wall, Ash picked himself up and smiled for the first time "why are you smiling Ash?" I asked him in concern.

"That hurt like hell I want this pokemon" Ash declared with a slight laugh "This one is the sole survivor of the attack like the ship that was sunk killing Misty and he wants what I want as well" Ash said with a crazy smile.

"What does this pokemon want Ash?" I asked him as he dragged himself towards the center of the hallway pulling out one of his pokeballs ready for battle. "Ash why are you going to battle here this place looks unstable" I said in concern before he looked at me.

"Then quick get out of here take with Pikachu I will be fine" Ash said with a grin before I was pushed to the stairs "I will bring a stop to Neo Team Plasma" Ash declared confidently while I walked down the stairs and into the foyer.

(Ash's pov)

I looked at Darmanitan and threw out my pokeball containing Zoroark. The opposing pokemon stared at each other "Zoroark use Night Slash" I commanded confidently as my dark type charged at the fire type with a dark claw protruding from it's arm as Darmanitan engulfed its large fist in flames to counter Zoroark's powerful Night Slash, the attacks landed causing a shockwave to causing the building the shake violently. "Oh damn the foundations of this building must be in bad shape must have been from Darmanitan losing its temper" I said to myself as parts of the building started to fall apart.

Darmanitan slowly charged towards Zoroark this time surrounding its fangs with fire which Zoroark dodged easily "Fire Fang this Pokémon still has a lot of fight in it" I said to myself in shock "Zoroark use Shadow Ball" I commanded just as Darmanitan landed a huge dark sphere slammed right into its face sending it flying towards the wall, Darmanitan's weight caused another violent shake in the building which caused a wall to collapse into the desert and the sand storm to blow through the hallway. "This is bad" I said as an exhausted Darmanitan landed a powerful attack on Zoroark knocking it out of the battle.

I grabbed another of my pokeballs ready to call out the next Pokémon to battle Darmanitan "Snivy lets go" I said calling out my small grass type pokemon to battle the larger fire type pokemon. A loud noise was heard on the next floor which caused part of the ceiling to fall infront of me "what the fuck is going on?" I asked myself as Snivy used an attack without me calling out a command heart shapes started to surround Darmanitan causing Darmanitan to stand in once spot with hearts in its his eyes. I threw a pokeball at Darmanitan while he was infatuated with Snivy I was starting to get a little impatient as the building was getting unstable from the severe sand storm blasting through the building "I hope Hilda is somewhere safe" I said to myself as the pokeball confirmed my capture of Darmanitan before returning Snivy.

I quickly made my way to the stair way to discover that the Stair way was blocked by rubble from the other floors. "Where the fuck do I go now?" I asked myself in frustration while trying to look for a way out as another loud noise was heard on one of the above floors "I guess I have no choice but to go out into the sandstorm" I remarked as a slowly made my way to the to the gaping hole in the building. "Snivy I need your help can you use Vine Whip to get me onto the desert floor?" I asked my pokemon after calling it out again, Snivy slowly lowered her vines to help me out I was being pelted by the sand and the wind was pushing me from side to side while Snivy was struggling to hold her ground.

"Ash your safe" Hilda called out in relief "the Desert resort will not stand much longer" Hilda told me as Snivy jumped out of the hole in the building getting caught in the storm. "Ash hurry do something before you lose Snivy" Hilda instructed me, I pulled out my pokeball and quickly recalled Snivy before the resort finally collapsed into the desert burying the dead inside.

"Damn cowards attack a civilians without even a second thought!" I yelled out not caring that the sand storm was still continuing.

"I know Ash but there was nothing we could have done about it" Hilda remarked while trying to cover her head from all the sand. "We better hurry to another location" Hilda instructed calmly.

"Your right is there a Pokémon Center nearby?" I asked while trying to spit out the sand, Hilda just nodded and pointed the way to the desert Pokémon Center. After walking for half an hour we made it to a small building with a red roof. "Hey Hilda what's going? There's no one here" I enquired while looking around the empty main hall of the Pokemon Center.

"This place was abandoned many years ago Ash because there was hardly any visitors" she responded nervously while looking over her shoulder. "I hope the sand storm ends soon this place gives me the creeps" Hilda remarked before grabbing my arm.

"Why are you so scared of this place Hilda?" I asked with a calm smile.

"Over the years this place became a center for ghost type pokemon" Hilda responded as her grip on my arm got tighter. We looked around the darkened Pokémon Center for a way to get some light but sadly every light switch wasn't working. "None of the lights work we can leave now" Hilda said with a weak smile.

"No Hilda we still have to wait for the sand storm to end we will wait here until then" I said wisely as Hilda decided to sit on the ground "I will look around some more I want to see if there is something we can use to make some light" I said as I left Hilda alone in the main foyer of the abandoned center.

"Ash please don't take too long I am getting scared" Hilda request before I went further into the Pokémon Center.

"Let's see if we can find something we can use to make a fire we can get some rest" I told myself while Pikachu looked further on in the hallway "hey Pikachu can you go back to Hilda I don't think she wants be alone" I told my partner who just looked at me with a sly smile. "I will continue on I don't fear ghost type Pokémon" I declared as my partner left to be with Hilda.

(Hilda's pov)

I sat in the middle of the room waiting for Ash to return when I heard the door open causing me to jump up in fear, I looked around to see who was there only to find that there was no one in sight "Ash if that is you it's not funny" I remarked as my fear began to take hold. I turned back to where I was sitting to find strange looking Pokémon floating behind me "g… ghost Pokémon!" I screamed out as they began to charge at me before a large bolt of lightning hit them scaring them away.

"Pikachu thanks for the help" I said while regaining my composure as Pikachu ran up to me allowing me to calm down even further knowing that Ash sent Pikachu to look after me "so Ash is really a nice guy after all he just hides it by being an asshole" I remarked as I rested my head on my sleeping bag.

Later on that night I looked around to find that Ash still didn't return so I picked myself up and decided to look around the abandoned building with Pikachu following me. We crept quietly through the dark halls lined with doors striped of colour with a small window at the end of the hallway "Strange where's Ash?" I asked the small yellow rodent who was also just as shocked. I walked up to the doors and tried to open them "these doors a jammed so there is no way anyone can enter these room" I explained before walking out of the hallway.

After walking back into the main foyer I noticed that the winds died down leaving me and Pikachu to wonder if Ash was outside. I walked outside to find that Ash was standing looking into the distance "Something is wrong Hilda" Ash explained as I looked up to see in the distance tinges of yellow, orange and red "It's still four hours before sunrise" Ash told me before we looked at each other in shock as we started running towards the origin of the colours.

(A.N. from this point onwards the story will take an (M) rating so anyone under the age of 18 please turn back you have been advised)

After a long run through the cold desert night we finally made it to Nimbasa City only to find it in flames and gun fire filling the air. People started running to the exit of the city we quickly found a hiding place and watched the events unfold as gun fire cut the people down before exiting the city "what is this" I asked as tears started to flow from my eyes.

"I don't know but we better keep quiet or we will end up just like them" Ash remarked before covering my mouth with his hands trying to keep me quiet. We watched on in the darkness as three Neo Plasma men passed us not noticing us in the alley way.

"Good now all we need to do is kill the rest of the prisoners and NImbasa will make the perfect Base For Ghetsis" one of the grunts stated as we waited for them to leave the area.

"What so this is their plan?" Ash questioned "to build an army to take over the world and to kill any opposition" Ash stated in shock "So that means the people on the ship were people who opposed Neo Plasmas plans" finished in anger before he followed them quietly to see where they were going.

"Ash we need to help the survivors out" I told Ash who turned around to see me crying.

"Alright there is no point doing something so reckless" Ash told me in a serious tone before following me to find people in the city who survived the attack.

We looked through the buildings to find survivors only to find that there were people still sitting at their tables with food still on their plates. We looked around some more trying to avoid detection from Neo Plasma we started to walk only to hear footsteps coming from behind us before a pair of hands pulled us into another alley way.

We looked up to find a female and a male dressed in a knight like outfit with a blue stylized 'P' on their shirt "You town need to come with us" they ordered in unison "Master N doesn't want you to be involved in the battle yet" the man said before leading us to a manhole. "Get in now before we are spotted" the other one said before leaving the scene.

"Team Plasma what are you doing here?" I asked in anger while we walked through the sewers. The smells started to get to me but we knew there wasn't much choice but to follow Team Plasma.

"We will answer your questions very soon" the female informed us.

"That's right we don't have much time you need to get to Iccirus City soon" the male plasma told us "As for what we are doing here let's just say that only a few of us remained loyal to N" he said with a smile "while most of our comrades defected to a new branch of Team Plasma" he said with regret

After walking for what seemed like forever in the sewers we made it to a wall "Um this is a brick wall" Ash said with sarcasm before being surprised that the brick wall slid revealing a secret passage way into Plasma's base.

"We expected this happen a few years back so N ordered us to create a secret base so we can get our supplies in safely without the people knowing" the woman said with confidence. "Our former team mates want to start a war" she said with anger.

We walked into the passage way following the two plasma grunts as the wall behind us closed leaving us in the dark "Hilda, Pikachu are you alright?" I heard Ash ask in concern.

"Don't worry too much" the male plasma said calmly before clapping his hands to turn on lights to reveal a pathway to the next destination "very soon you will meet with the rest of Team Plasma" he said with a grin.

We walked through another tunnel this time without the smell before reaching a door "Welcome to the Plasma secret base" the lady pointed out with a smile "we will escort you to your rooms and show you to the training facilities" she remarked confidently.

"So if you have any questions we can answer them now" the man said calmly.

"Yes I have one" I commented in anger "why did your organization murder Hilbert?" I asked in anger which drew the attention of everyone to us.

"Well that wasn't unexpected" the female grunt said with disdain.

"He was killed off because Ghetsis ordered it and I was the one who carried out the order" the male said while looking away, I walked up to him and slapped him across the face "the truth is I have regretted it since that day and I am very sorry I didn't know that Ghetsis was driven insane at the time" he said while rubbing his face.

"He was my love and you are the one who killed him!" I yelled out in anger while Ash started to hold me back from doing something I would regret later on but I was too angry to think of that. "Ash let me go!" I screamed out.

"No Hilda you taught me one thing and that was revenge isn't the answer" Ash told me still preventing me from going after Hilbert's murderer.

"Hilda I am sorry I just hope you can forgive me" he said before walking away still rubbing his face.

"Come on you two we need to get you ready for the fight that is ahead of us" she said while showing us around, we saw the strategy room, this is the infirmary, this is our cafeteria and the accommodation sector "the training facilities are just up the hallway" she pointed out with a smile before leaving us to our room.

(Ash's POV)

"Hilda are you alright?" I asked her knowing that she calmed down enough to talk to her while Pikachu slept on a bed.

"Thanks Ash for stopping me I don't know what came over me" Hilda responded with a fake smile "I am going down to the training facility to train my pokemon" Hilda declared as we both walked out of the room.

"Well I will be heading to the cafeteria for some food and water need to get the taste of sand out of my mouth" I said with a small laugh. "Is there anything you want Hilda?" I asked her before closing the door to our room.

"Yes just get me something to eat" she said with slight sarcasm before she went to the training center to train her pokemon leaving me to go and get some food.

After making my way to the cafeteria I walked around the tables to other end of the facility where the food was being sold. "Wow there is lots of food here" I remarked while looking at the sandwiches, salads, fruit, cooked meals and the candy bar "there is even a nice range of drinks as well" I said while looking at the fridge before a strange feeling started to take hold. "I wonder what is happening on the surface I need to know" I thought to myself betting that Hilda wanted to know as well.

I took as much food and drinks as I could hold and walked to the training facility to meet up with Hilda to discuss a plan to get to the surface to see what was happening while we weren't there. While walking I bumped into the male that killed Hilbert "Ash right how do you like the facility so far?" he asked me with a smile while still trying to hide the red hand mark on his face.

"Wow you got hit harder than I did" I remarked with a nervous smile straying off the question that was asked of me "if you are here to apologize for the murder of Hilbert don't you were just following your orders" I said with disdain before we went in separate directions. After walking through the accommodation facility by passing our room and walked to the training facility. "Hey Hilda how is your training going?" I asked her as I place the food on a bench so I can start eating.

"My training is going well" Hilda remarked with a smile "Hey Ash do you want to have a quick battle?" she asked me as she walked up to the food and began to eat I just nodded in reply while placing more food in my mouth.

After eating the last of the food we sat there quietly until the silence was broken by me "Hey Hilda do you want to sneak up to the surface after the battle?" I asked her quietly before walking to the battlefield and pulling out our first pokemon.

"Sure we will sneak up but in a few days from now" Hilda responded with a smile.

"Rufflet lets go" I called out my pokemon for our battle "Lets finish the battle we started in Castelia City" I declared with a smile before Hilda called out pokemon

"Lillipup lets show Ash what we are made of" Hilda said calling out her pokemon for the battle. "Lillipup attack with Thunder Fang" Hilda ordered her pokemon for the first attack. Lillipup Charged towards Rufflet bearing it's fangs at the small bird like pokemon.

"What no way when did she teach her pokemon that move?" I asked myself in shock "Rufflet dodge it quickly and attack with Aerial Ace" I ordered the small eagle pokemon as the little dog like pokemon got too close to dodge the attack and was hit by Thunder Fang. "Rufflet no!" I yelled out as the small flying type hit the ground I looked up to a smiling Hilda "What are you so happy about Hilda?" I asked her with a grin.

"Well Ash your Rufflet hasn't seen too many battles and I trained my Lillipup to be a stronger fighter" Hilda stated with a grin as she prepared for the next attack. "Lillipup use Ice Fang" Hilda Instructed her Lillipup to attack again.

"Rufflet quick dodge the attack now and then use Air Slash" I commanded the flying type pokemon to keep his distance from the charging normal type pokemon. Rufflet sent blades of air at the small pokemon charging towards him knocking him down causing me to smile as well "Doesn't seem like you were the only one training Hilda" I told Hilda who just looked on with a smile.

We ordered for the next attack sending both pokemon to charge at each other landing more hits sending the pokemon flying towards their respective trainers. We both called out to our pokemon who were stuggling to pick themselves up from the intense battle "Come on Rufflet you can do it" I called out to the eaglet pokemon. "Lillipup can you fight on?" Hilda asked her puppy like pokemon.

The pokemon slowly picked themselves up and started to glow white "What they are evolving" I said with a smile as Hilda looked on with a smile waiting for her pokemon to finish evolving. After the glowing disappeared, on Hilda's side stood a larger dog like pokemon colored black with tan fur and cream mustache and on my side was a larger flying type pokemon with a navy blue underside with dark red on the dorsal side and wings along with yellow and lining the tail feathers, as well as a yellow beak and talons.

"So Ash your Rufflet evolved into a Braviary and my Lillipup became a Herdier" Hilda said with a smile as we continued the battle with our newly evolved Pokémon. "Herdier use Thunder Fang again" Hilda commanded confidently.

"Braviary use Brave Bird" I commanded with equal confidence. A Braviary charged towards Herder with great velocity and was met with a powerful Thunder Fang. Both Herdier and Braviary slammed into each other sending them to the ground knocking each other out giving us a tied battle. "Great a draw" I said with disdain.

"What are you complaining about Ash I am pretty happy my Lillipup evolved into a Herder" Hilda told me with a smile while hugging her newly evolved Pokémon "and you have a new A Braviary" she pointed out with a smile.

"So it looks like we both won either way" I said in response "Lets heal them up" I requested with a smile before walking out of the training facility with our new Pokémon. We walked to our room to get some rest for the next few days.

(About 3 days later)

We looked around the secret base trying to not look suspicious before heading out of the office until two more people walked up to us with a disappointed look plastered over their faces.

"You know going out to the surface isn't such a good idea" a male Plasma Grunt stated with a frown "It's too dangerous for you two to even consider going out" he said calmly.

"But we have to know what is going on out there" I said while Hilda and me continued to walk.

"If you want to find out so badly we can lead you to another location where it might be safer for you" a female Plasma grunt said with a small grin "but you will need these" she said while handing use binoculars.

"What are these for? And where are you leading us?" I asked in annoyance as we walked through the secret passage and into the disgusting sewer system on Nimbasa City. We quietly walked into another area this time it looked like a basement of a building "So what is this place?" I asked quietly as the two plasma grunts looked at me.

"This is where we can spy on our former team mates" the female grunt responded calmly "but we can't stay here for too long we will stay here to keep an eye on everything" she said quietly as we walked out of the basement carefully and into a small building we walked up to a small flight of stairs "just tell us what you see" she instructed calmly.

"Right you two be careful as well" I told them as Hilda and me walked up the stair way to the roof of the building, we opened the door way to the roof and found a decent place to see what was going on.

"Look at the city it looks like a bomb had hit it" Hilda Said in shock as we saw most of the buildings were collapsed and light posts were bent and the city still smelt of smoke as some fires were still burning throughout the city. We grabbed our binoculars to look around.

"Hilda look near the musical hall" I told Hilda who promptly averted her gaze towards the musical hall with people in a single file with Neo Plasma grunts standing on the other side. "What the fuck is going on?" I asked as I looked on in curiosity.

"Hey I know one of them" Hilda stated in shock.

"What you know a person?" I asked Hilda who continued to watch still not knowing what was going to happen next.

"Yeah one of them is Bianca's father why is he here?" Hilda Asked while watching the proceedings "I know that he is very protective of Bianca so maybe he's here to bring her home" Hilda Said before loud gunshots echoed through the air shocking us to the core.

"What it was an execution!" I yelled out as Hilda started to cry and ran to the exit causing one of the bricks to fall onto the ground. I caught up to Hilda who was still crying she this time embracing me and hitting me with her fists.

"T-They….. di…..didn't deserve that treatment they w…were all innocent people" Hilda said while crying for the loss of her best friend's father.

"Ash, Hilda we have to go now a few Neo Plasma Grunts are heading our way" the Plasma grunt said nervously "tell us what you found out once we get back to the base" he said as we took to the stair way. We ran down the stair as quickly as possible We made it to the basement and closed the door quietly and made it to the sewers.

"I forgot to ask a question" I said in annoyance.

"What's the question Ash?" the female grunt asked while we ran to the secret passage way. We made it to the secret passage and waited for the lights to turn on.

"Where are the gym leaders?" I asked the Plasma Grunt who just looked at me with a quick smile.

"We sent them to another region for their safety Unova is set to become a battlefield and we are trying to get the civilians out of here but there is too many of them" the Plasma Grunt said with a frown as we made our way to the secret base.

"What are we going to do now I overheard that Neo Plasma want to turn Nimbasa it a base" I said with anger "and they will kill innocent people without even thinking about it we need to stop them quickly meaning we cannot hide from these cowards" I yelled out with the Plasma looking at me.

"Yeah we need to fight back quickly before they get too strong" Hilda stated with anger as she walked to her room "because one of my best friend's fathers was executed by Neo Plasma" She said in tears.

"I will go to her we need to get to Iccirus City to capture Zekrom very soon" I said while following Hilda to our room. I got to the room and tried to calm Hilda down "Hilda I know Neo Plasma needs to be stopped" I said while patting Hilda on the back before someone knocked on our door "what do you want? I asked while I was still trying to comfort Hilda.

"It's time to get you to Iccirus City" one of the plasma grunts said calmly.

"How in the world are we going to get there without being noticed?" I asked in annoyance as we got to the door we opened the door only to be greeted by N who looked in bad shape from a battle.

"We have a train line from here to Iccirus" N said with a smile "Ingo and Emmett have a small train line in case of emergencies like this one so they can move people to a safer location" N told us calmly. "This trip will be a one off trip so you need to find your own way back to defeat Neo Plasma" N instructed us while leading us to the train way.

"Thanks N for the help, Hilda I don't want you to get hurt please stay here" I said with a smile before boarding the train but Hilda didn't want to be left behind and decided to jump onto the train "Why are you coming it's too dangerous for you to come along" I remarked as my annoyance started to grow.

"I am coming along with you because you are reckless Ash" she told me with a smile "and I don't want you to get hurt" Hilda told me with a smile as the train gathered speed taking us to the next destination in order to stop Neo Plasma.
