EXT. N'S CASTLE - ROOF - CONTINUOUS
Iris, now in tears, continues commandeering her DEINO - alongside Cheren's JELLICENT (a large blue jellfyish Pokémon with one eyelash over each eye, mustache-like collars around their heads, frill-less tentacles and a short crown on their heads) and Bianca's ACCELGOR (a bug with a pink head adorned with green stripes and a black star, and the rest of its body consists of blue, segmented cloth-like tufts, with ribbon-like extensions at the top of its back) against Ghetsis's Pokémon.
Grinning manically-
GHETSIS (CONT'D)
Fine, if you don't give up, I guess we could have a little fun before you die.
INT. N'S CASTLE - DUNGEON - DAY
HILBERT is tossed into an area surrounded by four metal bars that lie horizontally on the floor. MEWTWO activates a panel outside the lines that turns on an ELECTRIC FORCEFIELD to contain Hilbert from all four sides, and a roof.
INT. ELECTRIC CAGE - DAY
Hilbert slowly sits up - his eyes lock on Mewtwo, who floats on the other side of the forcefield.
HILBERT
Why are you doing this?
(taunting - mocking)
I thought he told you to kill me.
MEWTWO (V.O.)
I am not going to hurt you. I put you in here so you don't get in my way. If you are truly the hero they say you are, you will find your way out yourself.
Hilbert doesn't bother asking why. It's not like he'll get an answer. Mewtwo slowly disappears into nothingness as Hilbert scans the room around him.
There are other cages. He sees an unconscious MELOETTA in one. The tiny musical Pokémon Ghetsis was using to get the people of Opelucid to do his bidding.
HILBERT
Meloetta... Meloetta! Wake up!
Nothing.
Hilbert grumbles. And then, taking a chance, he CHARGES - as his body hits the forcefield -
A YELLOW LIGHT SURROUNDS HIM, ELECTRICITY GENERATING FROM THE FORCEFIELD AND COMPLETELY SHOCKING HILBERT.
He's thrown to the ground, flat on his back. His body twitches a bit. He leaps back on his feet, determined.
HILBERT (CONT'D)
Fine. If I can't get out through there -
He pulls out a Poké Ball, tosses it. It's KROOKODILE.
HILBERT (CONT'D)
Use Dig to get us out of here!
Hilbert climbs onto the large crocodile like a piggy-back-ride. Like a drill, the two quickly disappear underground.
INT. UNDERGROUND TUNNEL - DAY
They're digging. They hit a dead end and Hilbert hops off of Krookodile's back.
ON HIS FEET AS THEY HIT THE GROUND
And land on something slightly squishy.
ON HILBERT'S FACE
As he peers down... tilting his head curiously...
And stares down at a pair of MEAN eyes. He's stepping on a Pokémon.
The mud surrounding this Pokémon disappears and Hilbert looks worried. More of them pop up.
They're STUNFISK and they're SPARKING angrily with ELECTRICITY.
HILBERT
Dig up. UP UP UP, LET'S GOOOO-!
All of the Stunfisk gather their electricity together and release it. The electricity doesn't affect Ground-type Krookodile, who keeps going up, but his trainer Hilbert's body writhes and contorts like a cartoon character inside the mass of yellow light. Krookodile remains unaffected as he GRABS Hilbert off the ground and makes his way up the hole, and Hilbert continues to get zapped, holding on as tight as he can to the crocodile without falling off of his back or passing out.
Krookodile propels himself up and they both -
INT. ELECTRIC CAGE - DAY
- Land flat on their butts in the middle of the forcefielded cage. Krookodile looks dazed a bit while Hilbert's body gets one more SHARP AFTER-SHOCK, briefly giving us an X-RAY shot of his body. As he sits up -
HILBERT
Exhaustion huh? Sorry, Krookodile. Thanks for getting me out of there though.
KROOKODILE just groans as he sits back up. Giving a weak dizzy spin, Hilbert and KROOKODILE both flop onto their backs at the same time, limbs sprawled out.
And then both Hilbert gets another sharp X-RAY VIEW, his body flopping around uselessly on the ground, being SHOCKED by after-effects of the powerful electricity.
INT. N'S CASTLE - THRONE ROOM - DAY
DEINO uses DRAGONBREATH to attack GHETSIS's COFAGRIGUS. As Cofagrigus falls, Ghetsis begins to grow angrier. Spinning to face N, who is still on his knees, Ghetsis's eyes grow wide.
GHETSIS
I need Reshiram now.
N
N-No. It's weak.
GHETSIS
I need Reshiram! Listen to me...
N
(interjecting)
I'm done listening to you. It's gotten me nowhere. I've wasted my LIFE listening to you! You listen to ME. You're not getting Reshiram.
Ghetsis JUMPS on N and punches him across the face. Iris, Cheren, and Bianca look surprised.
GHETSIS
WHERE IS IT?! BRING IT TO ME!
N
I - I don't even have it.
GHETSIS
(snarls)
I don't believe you.
Ghetsis gives N another punch across the face.
INT. ELECTRIC CAGE - DAY
HILBERT
I hate this place.
A gathering of Team Plasma grunts have arrived to feed MELOETTA. They GIGGLE and LAUGH at Hilbert. PISSED, HILBERT picks up a rock from the pile left on the ground after KROOKODILE used DIG. He readies it -
HILBERT (CONT'D)
And stop laughing at me!
- And throws it. The rock hits the forcefield, bounces back and hits Hilbert hard in the chest. He stumbles back and falls into the hole he dug. Barely a second later, a large ray of yellow light
- ELECTRICITY - blasts up the hole and screaming can be heard. We don't see it, but we don't need to in order to know that HILBERT GOT SHOCKED AGAIN.
Hilbert finally climbs up. He glares at the laughing grunts. As soon as he FLIPS them the MIDDLE FINGER, he receives an AFTERSHOCK, revealing an X-RAY shot of his body. But he keeps the middle finger up even as he's shocked, determined to let them know how he feels about them. But this only makes the crowd erupt into even MORE uproarious laughter.
The grunts leave after a few seconds of giggling. Meloetta eats weakly in her cage. Hilbert climbs all the way out of the hole and pulls out two Poké Balls. He lets out RAICHU.
HILBERT (CONT'D)
I need your help, Raichu. Do you think you could soak in the energy from this forcefield?
Raichu nods - he approaches the forcefield and touches it. His cheeks begin to spark and the forcefield begins to slowly drain away from that side of the wall. Raichu steps midway through the forcefield and completely drains it. Raichu mumbles something, Hilbert nods. He lets out the little chinchilla, MINCCINO.
HILBERT (CONT'D)
We don't have a lot of time Minccino, but we have to save Meloetta!
INT. N'S CASTLE - DUNGEON - CONTINUOUS
Minccino follows Hilbert out of the forcefield and toward Meloetta's cage. Hilbert looks back at Raichu.
HILBERT
Think you can turn this one off?
Raichu shakes his head - he's on his back. Too much energy from the first forcefield. He can barely even stand.
HILBERT (CONT'D)
Guess not. Okay, Minccino, this is why I brought you out. I need you to find the power source. It's gotta be around here somewhere, think you can sniff it out?
Minccino gives a salute to his trainer, and then hops on top of him, scurrying all around his body. Hilbert dances about uncomfortably.
HILBERT (CONT'D)
What are you doing, Minccino...?!
Minccino digs into Hilbert's bag and pulls out the TINY BOOGER ROCK THING Hilbert groaned about him grabbing earlier in the script. Minccino taps it against his own forehead and then he begins to GLOW!
Hilbert looks on in surprise as Minccino EVOLVES into CINCCINO, looking like Minccino except for the pure gray color and long white fur. Like Minccino, Cinccino still retains his large ears, located to the sides of his head, with red insides partly covered by the aforementioned tufts of fur. his eyes are large and brown, with a small, rounded nose. His limbs are somewhat rounded and small, and his tail is long, fluffy and incredibly white in color. He also has two large long fluffs on his head that wrap around his back. His long fur was what Minccino's tuft of fur below his neck has become long fur that he uses as a scarf.
Cinccino dances about happily while Hilbert grins.
HILBERT (CONT'D)
So THAT's what that thing does! You evolved! Go sniff out that control panel, okay?
Cinccino sniffs around, until his nose lands nearby. He climbs up the wall and into the vent, disappearing from sight.
Meanwhile, Hilbert decides to use this time to snoop around. He rifles through doors - opens one up -
AND A TON OF Poké BALLS FALL OUT.
He opens one up -
Revealing a fluffy white cloud-like Pokémon with a leaf on either side of it, called COTTONEE.
HILBERT (CONT'D)
These must be the Pokémon they collected from trainers all over the world...
Returning Cottonee to its Poké Ball, a mischievous SMILE crosses Hilbert's face.
And then in the next room, five unconscious people lie in a METAL BAR CAGE.
HILBERT (CONT'D)
...The Elite Four and Unova's Pokémon League Champion!
HILBERT (V.O.)
And in that moment - I knew EXACTLY what I had to do.
INT. CONTROL ROOM - DAY
Lots of buttons and panels in here. CINCCINO drops in from the vents above, landing on his butt. He stands, sniffs around for the right one, and then is all smiles as he smacks it with his paw...
INT. N'S CASTLE - DUNGEON - CONTINUOUS
THE FORCEFIELD AROUND MELOETTA DISAPPEARS.
Hilbert rushes forward. Cinccino makes his way through from the vents, landing on his trainer's shoulder. They high-five.
INT. N'S CASTLE - THRONE ROOM - DAY
CUE - "GHETSIS BATTLE" FROM BLACK & WHITE OST.
GHETSIS wails on N again. He is bleeding bad from his face now. Ghetsis is relentless -
IRIS
(seriously concerned)
Stop it! You're hurting him -
Ghetsis spins round to face her. His eyes wild. Blood from N's face splashed into tiny flecks onto his.
GHETSIS
Stop defending him! He's nothing more than a freak without a human heart. Do you think you're going to get through to a warped person like that?!
HILBERT (O.S.)
I'll give you the "freak" part but he's definitely not heartless...
They spin to see -
HILBERT stood at the steps. Two dozen of the stolen Pokémon stood behind him. His Pokémon - SHELDON, RAICHU, LEAVANNY, ARCHEOPS, KROOKODILE, and CINCCINO - at his side.
HILBERT (CONT'D)
...That's you.
Ghetsis's gaze turns to pure horror and disbelief as he sees Hilbert's army of Pokémon. And he doesn't even notice ANTHEA and CONCORDIA enter from the other door. Anthea tosses a Poké Ball - and RESHIRAM escapes from it. Fully healed.
Ghetsis hears Reshiram's roar...
N
Reshiram. There is no good in humanity anymore. My own father has betrayed me. I want this castle destroyed and I want this to end. Please.
And with that, Reshiram IGNITES itself in flames - and begins to DESTROY the castle.
GHETSIS
Oh my god, no. What have you done?!
The ending is almost here! Get ready for the sequel once this one is finished ~~ :D
