Chapter 2: The planning.

I don't own pokemon

After Cynthia, the champion of the Sinnoh region discussed the meeting to Hilbert, Hilda decided to have some alone time with her husband. They were curios on what are the evil organizations are planning to do. It is 10pm and the couple are having their discussions.

"Honey, what are they planning anyway?" Hilda asked.

"It's quite rare for the evil organizations in every region to unite, isn't it?" Hilbert shared his thoughts with his wife.

"Yeah, you're right about that. I thought they work independently because they're an organization not a corporation."

"Something is very odd about this situation. Anyhow, let's get some sleep. It's still our family vacation, isn't it?" Hilbert suggested.

"You're right, let's get some sleep. Let's go check on the children before we go to bed." Hilda said to her husband.

"Sure honey."

The couple went to their children's room and saw Samurott guarding the door. "Thanks buddy for always keeping them safe!" Hilbert thanked his pokemon. "Yeah, thank you Samurott. I always know the children are safe because of you. Thank you very much!" Hilda said with a smile. They gently open the door and saw Lillie hugging Serperior while his brother is already asleep.

"What's wrong sweetie?" Hilda asked her daughter. Lillie faced her mother with teary eyes. It seems that Lillie had a nightmare. "Thank you Serperior for comforting my daughter." Hilda appreciated Serperior's motherly instincts.

"Mommy, I'm scared! It was all dark and cold and then someone opened the door and I was relieved but it wasn't a good guy… there were many of them… I'm scared, Mommy!" Lillie hugged her mother very tightly and her father patted her head. Her brother woke up because of Lillie's sobs.

"Oh sorry to wake you up, Neon." His father said apologetically.

"It's alright Dad. Why are you crying Lillie?" her brother inquired.

"Your sister had a bad dream. It was a good thing we happen to be still awake." Hilda explained to her son. "Everything's okay now Lillie, Mommy's got you." Hilda whispered while she strokes her daughter's hair.

"Mommy, may I sleep with you and Daddy tonight?" Lillie asked her mother.

Hilbert and Hilda exchanged glances and Hilbert approves with a smile. "So much for alone time…" he thought. Hilda giggled at her husband's expression.

"Sure sweetie, you can sleep with us tonight!" Hilda said to her daughter.

"Thank you Mommy! Goodnight big brother, Serperior and Samurott, thank you!"

"Goodnight Lil sis!" Neon said as he waves to her sister.

Later that midnight…

"Honey, is Lillie asleep?" Hilbert asked.

"Yes honey. Why do you ask?" Hilda answers with a sly look on her face.

"Oh nothing, just asking." He replied with embarrassment.

"Hmmm? Is that so?" Hilda pecked her husband on the lips.

"Alright, you got me. I just wanted some alone time, you know?"

"I do too, honey. But we can't just do it." She said to her husband while glancing at her sleeping daughter.

"Yeah, I know. This is okay too…" he is currently looking at her daughter.

"…Hey, Hon. Could you play the piano for me? I just could sleep." Hilda begged her husband.

"Anything for you, Hilda." He sat up and got out of bed.

Hilbert is at their upright piano and lifting the cover of it. "What piece would you like?" he asked.

"Maestro's choice!" she said while giving him a smile.

While he asked that question to her, he was already thinking of a piece that he would be playing and then she replied with a smile, a smile that remembers him of the piano piece that he played during their wedding reception. "Playing Love" by Ennio Morricone. A piece that portrays love-at-first sight.

Hilbert began playing, although the intro is written as rubato, he played it with a fast yet gentle touch and…

Hilda is watching her husband play but she can't help but close her eyes, he is currently at the climax of the piece and that part that note reminded her the day of their wedding. Their friends, family and employees were there. The exchange of vows and the kiss…

Hilbert finished playing and looked at his wife, a smile on her sleeping face. Hilbert walked to her side of the bed and kissed her forehead and also kissed her daughter on the forehead. "Mahal na mahal ko kayo…" he said to them. It's a Filipino language which in English means "I really, really love you both…"

At the living room…

Hilbert just can't sleep and he decided to go to the living room. Hilbert smiled for what he was, his son, Neon, is looking at the starry sky.

"Neon… I see, you can't sleep either huh?"

"Dad… yeah, I can't sleep. I was just thinking about your offer before we left Nuvema town."

"I see. So have you made your decision? Your plan?"

"Yes dad, I want to become your apprentice in the agency, to follow your footsteps not just to become a great detective but also a great man who is selfless, caring, and humble just like you."

Hilbert hugged his son… words cannot describe how happy he is now.

"Thank you, thank you. Your mother would also be happy to hear this." Hilbert said with a big smile on his face. "By the time you turn 12 were going to catch you first pokemon."

"Really dad? Could we also catch a pokemon for my sister?"

"Sure, why not? Your sister is going to love having a pokemon."

The father and son are having a wonderful moment and It seems Neon agreed to be part of their detective agency, which his father founded, the detective agency. What lies our heroes next…
