all your hopes and dreams come true when you read fanfiction...

The staff cracked as it hit my neck.
As soon as I could feel it, I closed my eyes, tight.
Pain flooded my neck and soon the rest of my body felt the same.
I opened my eyes, but I could still see darkness. I gasped as I floated in a darkened world of nothingness. I could feel nothing, yet everything, all at the same time.
"N, no!" Someone, a girl most likely, screamed followed by the pounding of quickened footsteps.
"You killed him," the person whispered. "YOU KILLED HIM!" Someone grabbed my hand and squeezed it, it almost felt as though Leaf was there. But Leaf was back in Kanto, with Layla and Blue?
"So? Did you expect anything else? In fact, I'll do you a favor. I'll let you join him. What do you say?" A man asked, but a familiar man. Father-no I mean Ghetsis maybe?
"You could have given up, two years ago. Maybe I could've let it slip by me and forget anything happened. But now it's too late for you. You're going to be sorry you messed with any of us." The hand slipped away and small delicate footsteps followed. "RESHIRAM! I CHOOSE YOU!"
Reshiram? The legendary beast of fire and truth? The one Hilda befriended two years ago.
My panged, Hilda. I had come to the giant chasm to protect her from Ghetsis. That is why I was here.
"You think you can beat me?" Ghetsis chuckled. "You're sadly mistaken. KYUREM! FUSION BOLT!"
"FUSION FLARE!" Hilda yelled in response.
A soft thud sounded at my side. Then the hand appeared again, gripping it tighter this time.
"You'll be ok," They whispered, it was probably Hilda. "You aren't dead. I've gone crazy, that's all. You'll be fine."
I wanted to sit up, hug her, tell her I was alive and I loved her. But my body protested filling with pain.
"N," She whispered. "N, I'm so sorry. You came to save my life, and lost yours in the process. This is my fault."
The hand let go and stood, "Reshiram, return."
I wanted to scream, knowing what was going to happen next.
A scream echoed through the cavern, one that would be forever burned into my mind.
"HILDA!" A younger sounding voice screamed.
Footsteps pounded and ran. Voices yelled and screamed. All of it blended in my mind.
The only thing I could think and remember was the scream, it was Hilda's scream.
The background all faded away as my mind went to blank static and hands lifted me up off the ground.

I remember being moved from the cold dirty ground of the Great Chasm to a soft firm bed, to a cold metal table, and then a soft and plush bed.
While all of this happen I could see my life slowly replay. From living in the forest to meeting Ghetsis and the old lady, Leaf's grandmother, to living in the castle, and the moments spent with Hilda. All of it until I was met with the present.
Things were jabbed into my hands and arms, then something was forced down my throat.
I wanted to scream. But no sound ever came, and I left lying on the bed fighting a war inside myself.
My body was full of pain, and it wanted to give up. To say goodbye to this world. But refused not without telling Hilda goodbye at least.
Then it was decided. In order for me to live, I would no longer be able to speak to my friends, the Pokémon. No more little chats with Zorua. No more quality time with Darmanitan.
No more being able to help any of them.
It was my friends, Pokémon vs. the love of my life, Hilda.
Hilda, Hilda had won.

I choked, trying to breathe, slowly opening my eyes.
"He's awake." Someone raced to my side. "He's awake!"
A hand slowly peeled the tape off my mouth and was removing the tube thing that was stuck in my throat.
I coughed a little, but it caused too much pain.
"Here, drink some of this." Someone held a cup full of clear liquid up to my mouth. The water in it slowly trickled down my throat as some dribbled onto my chin. The person, quietly dabbed the escaped drop with a soft white rag.
"Hilda. Must talk to Hilda." I coughed weakly.
The person stood up and headed to the door, leaving me all alone. Murmured voices argued outside.
Then the pain of the scream came rushing back. It was Hilda's scream. But why?
I blinked my eyes a few times, trying to make the memory a part of my broken past.
I was in a solid white room, a hospital room. A soft white blanket covered my body. I tried to move, but pain threatened and I gave in.
I laid still not wanting to endure the pain.
"Its ok, come on Hilda. You're almost there." A voice encouraged from outside the door.
I managed to move my head to look out the door.
Slowly three figures appears. A lady who looked like she was a mother, a young girl with doughnut shaped hair. They both held the third girl by the arms in the middle of them. I recognized her immediately, Hilda.
She smiled at the sight of me.
"Is that you, Hilda?" I managed to whisper softly.
The mother and the young girl helped Hilda into the chair that sat by my bed.
"We'll you for now," The young girl said to Hilda before the two walked out.
"N," Hilda said when the two were gone. "I'm still shocked over what happened. Are you alright?"
"Hilda," I interrupted her. "I need to tell you something. If I come out of this all alright, I won't be the same."
"What do you mean?"
"I had to sacrifice something to continue living. It hurts me to think about it, but I won't be able to talk to Pokémon again."
Her jaw dropped, ""N, I'm so sorry!"
"Hilda," I said, looking over at her as tears threatened to spill "It was worth it to see you again."
She held a hand up to her mouth, as she looked down. Silently tears fell.
"Hilda," I reached over to hold her hand. "I love you. Meaning I would go the ends of the earth just to be with you. I would sacrifice anything just to see your lovely face again."
She took my hand and squeezed it. "I'm sorry, this is all my fault."
"No its not," I cooed. "If it's anyone's fault. It's mine. It was my choice to go to the great chasm. But you want to know why I went there?"
She looked at me, tears still falling. "To protect me, from Ghetsis. You saved our lives N, mine and Rosa's."
"You know, I never quite got to meet your sister yet." I chuckled.
She laughed. "Well maybe today's the day you finally will."
"His room is right down there." Someone directed.
We both grew quiet.
Hilda stared at me with fear, I watched the door way.
Footsteps echoed down the hallway. Almost like they were headed in the direction of my room.
Hilda trembled silently, squeezing my hand tighter.
I stared at the door as the footsteps grew closer.
Then the person I least expected walked through the door.
"Ghetsis, what are you doing here?"
