I was holding off on posting this until I finished the ref sheet, but I’ve been putting it off for over 6 months and idk when I’ll actually finish it, but I’ve been holding in the autism for too long, so here’s my magnum opus of a Pokemon Black and White AU, which I dub “The King’s Knight” Or the Knight!AU
Here’s the ref sheet of this AU’s version of Hilbert!
Based on this image I bet you can tell Hilbert is with Team Plasma in this AU, but its a little deeper than that
Basically as a TLDR, Ghetsis and the Sages had the thought that their king/pawn N would probably need protection in the outside world, as well as an equal pawn that they could mold into someone N could talk to in case he felt lonely (not cause they were nice or anything, just they thought it would be beneficial for N to get social interaction for when he goes to the outside world, but not someone who would question Plasma’s ideals)
Yknow how they did that? Kidnapping a child of course!
In this AU, Hilbert and Hilda are twins, and when they were young (I wanna say 6 or 7) Hilda thought they were brave enough to go into the wild grass outside Nuvema Town. Hilbert had objections, but he followed anyway. Since the grass was tall and hard to see through, they got separated during play, and this gave Ghetsis the chance to swoop in, talk to Hilbert, and convince him that he should follow him to show him something, never to be seen again
Following this, he’s brainwashed over the course of several years to forget his past life, taught in the art of sword fighting, and introduced to N as a friend to bond with on occasion. Eventually, when N is declared King, Hilbert is also declared as Knight, making him The King’s Knight.
Hilda is the protagonist, with her journey layered with some grief considering she and Hilbert wanted to travel together when the time came. Imagine her surprise when she finds the Knight that follows the mysterious man N around is very familiar to her...
I’ve been plotting out this AU since July and AUGH I’ve never been so attached to an AU in my life. I have so many ideas that deconstruct the plot of Black and White and Pokemon as a whole, as well as major themes of cult trauma and recovery (cause this AU has a happy ending, don’t worry. Hilbert eventually recovers from all the trauma put upon him). Hopefully eventually I’ll find excuses to infodump more but yeah! Let me know what you guys think :]

A Dark Path Walked Chapter 1: The Meeting
It has been three months ever since Juliana moved from Galar to Paldea. She barely made herself at home in Cabo Poco when she decided to enroll in Naranja Academy. Not only that, Director Clavell made a visit to her house to tell her that her enrollment has been accepted. Along the journey to her new school, she met her neighbor and classmate, Nemona, who loves to battle and the two became rivals when Juliana picked Fuecoco and Nemona chose Quaxly. The newly-moved girl then met a mysterious creature called Koraidon/Miraidon after she fell off Poco Path and survived thanks to her Rotom Phone being used as a parachute, they escaped a pack of Houndour and Houndoom and met their Houndoom leader, who proved to be way too strong to Juliana and Fuecoco and Koraidon/Miraidon rescued her.
On her way to the Poco Lighthouse, she and Nemona met a young man named Arven, who is not only also a student of the same Academy she enrolled, he is also the son of the esteemed Professor Sada. After a beautiful view from the Lighthouse and an extremely long trip through Los Platos and South Province due to her not having a Cyclizar, Juliana finally arrives in Mesagoza. Before she could enter Naranja Academy, she saved a girl with an Eevee bag named Penny from some trouble making students who call themselves Team Star and she also received a Tera Orb from Nemona during the confrontation.
Upon entering the esteemed Naranja Academy, not only could she see how big and marvelous the place is, she also met Jacq, her homeroom teacher and the creator of the Paldean Pokédex, got some requests to defeat the eight gym leaders and Pokémon League from Nemona, find Five mysterious herbs called Herba Mystica from Arven and put an end to Team Star’s trouble making behavior from a mysterious entity called Cassiopeia for her Treasure Hunt.
Juliana also learned that Koraidon can help her by being a ride Pokémon like Cyclizar and that made it easier for her to travel. During her Treasure Hunt, not only did she grow stronger, she also helped Nemona complete her goal of finding the perfect rival for her which turned out to be Juliana herself, used the Herba Mystica to not only restore Koraidons ability to travel better like climbing, gliding and swimming, but also cure Arven’s partner Mabostiff, who got badly injured during an expedition in Area Zero, and proved to Team Star and their leader, Cassopeia, aka Penny, that there is no need to be afraid in going back to school and that hurting others is not the right thing to do. Juliana also learned of Team Star’s tragic backstory of them being bullied by other students and retaliating against them.
After that ordeal is done, Juliana was about to rest back at Naranja Academy when she got a call from Arven to meet him at Zero Gate at the Great Crater of Paldea, which is forbidden entry due to how dangerous it is since the Quaking Earth Titan was a Great Tusk that escaped from the even dangerous Area Zero. She met him, Nemona and Penny at the entrance and they got the elevator to the lift to Area Zero working thanks to Penny’s hacking skills.
It took them a bit longer to enter since Koraidon did not want to go there due to some trauma, but the four students helped out. As soon as they entered, Koraidon returned to its Pokéball because of fear, which led the four of them to find Professor Sada, who is trapped in the Zero Lab, by foot. Along the way, they unlocked all four locks in the research stations blocking the entrance to Zero Lab, fighting a Glimmora outside the first station, which Nemona recognizes as a Pokémon Geeta, La Primera, owns, a Scream Tail, which Penny confused for a Jigglypuff, and another Great Tusk. At the same time, the behavior of Professor Sada is acting stranger and stranger.
Upon reaching the Zero Lab, they confront another Koraidon that sent Juliana’s Koraidon away after a turf war and an army of ancient looking Pokémon similar to Misdreavus and Amoongus. Nemona, Penny and Arven stayed behind to hold the reinforcements while Juliana entered the Zero Lab.
As she explores the Zero Lab, she sees Professor Sada, but it is an AI made to look and act like Professor Sada because the real Professor Sada passed away protecting Juliana’s Koraidon from the aggressive Koraidon. The AI takes Juliana to the time machine and begs for her to stop the original Professor’s wishes to continue the Time Machine. As she tries to fulfill the AI’s wish, it challenges her to a battle with a team of ancient looking Pokémon.When Nemona, Arven and Penny arrive to help Juliana, the AI activates the Time Machine’s Paradise Protection Protocol to lock all Pokémon except those on the ownership of Professor.
Just when all hope is lost when the AI sends out the aggressive Koraidon, Juliana uses the Koraidon she has been taking care of. Her kindness and devotion helped Koraidon regain its true strength and with everyone’s cheers, Koraidon defeated its aggressive counterpart.
Victory was bittersweet. Paldea was saved, but Arven learned the truth of his mother from an AI who was replicating her appearance and behavior. And not only that, AI Sada decided to use the time machine to go to the ancient past to discover her dream and freedom.
It has been three months ever since the start of the Treasure Hunt. Juliana had a long schedule, doing the Gym Inspections in Geeta’s stead, participating in the Academy Ace tournament founded by Nemona, completing her Pokédex and helping Professor Jacq on his research with Tera Raids.
Her Rotom Phone Rang when she had caught a mysterious ancient Suicune called Walking Wake.
“Hello?” She answered the call.
“Hello, Juliana, my girl!” Professor Jacq said with his useful cheerful tone.
“Hello, Professor Jacq.” The brown haired girl smiled. “Did you need something for your research?”
“Actually, I called you for something else.” Professor Jacq answered. “Remember when you signed up for a lottery for an upcoming school trip?”
“Yes. I did.” Juliana nodded, playing with her braid. “What happened?”
“We just got the results in just a day and you are one of four students to be chosen for the trip!” The Professor said with a happier tone.
“Really?!” Juliana beamed in joy. “I’m chosen! I’m so happy!”
“No need to worry about asking permission.” Jacq said. “Your mother gave us the good to go. Why don’t you meet me and a special someone at the Academy’s Entrance?”
“I will.” Juliana smiled. “See you there.”
As she hung up the call, she couldn’t help herself when she jumped in joy. It was the first time she had a trip ever since moving out from Galar. She ran towards Skeledirge, Koraidon and the rest of her Pokémon.
“Koraidon, Skeledirge, Tinkaton, Kilowatrel, Arboliva, Armarouge, Annihalape!” She cheered. “We are chosen for the trip! We’re going to make so many friends! People and Pokémon alike!”
Her Pokémon made a variety of noises in celebration, the loudest being Skeledirge and Koraidon.
“Let’s go back to Naranja Academy! Professor Jacq is waiting for us!” She said as she recalled her Pokémon except for Koraidon.
After she made some preparations, Juliana entered Naranja Academy, where at the entrance hall, a woman with dark blond hair was waiting for her. The woman turned around as Juliana approached her.
“Ah. Hello, you must be Juliana, right?” The woman greeted the girl. “One of four students in Naranja Academy chosen by lottery?”
“Yes, ma’am.” Juliana nodded. “I am Juliana.”
“Nice to meet you, sweet Juliana.” The woman smiled. “Allow me to introduce myself. I am Briar, and I will be your guide for our field trip to Kitakami. I am also a teacher at Blueberry Academy, which is located in Unova.”
“Blueberry Academy, such a cool name!” Juliana got more excited to hear of Blueberry Academy.
“I’m happy to hear that you love the small details I gave to our school.” Briar said with joy in her voice. “I am also here for another reason… Have you heard of Area Zero?”
“Yes.” Juliana nodded. “I went there as part of my Treasure Hunt.”
“I see.” Briar hummed. “Apparently, I am here to request access to Area Zero after hearing of a mysterious Pokémon called Terapagos. I even got the original note about Terapagos from Heath, the founder of the Scarlet Book, who is my ancestor. Anyway, let us change the topic back to the field trip. Did you make some preparations for our trip to Kitakami?”
“Of course, ma’am.” Juliana nodded.
Jacq and three other students, a small boy wearing a red cap, a taller boy and a girl, arrive.
“Apologies for my lateness, Miss Briar.” Jacq said. “I was making some updates on the Pokédex app since Kitakami will have different Pokémon.”
“My, you are very well-prepared, Mister Jacq.” Briar mused.
“Juliana, would you allow me to update the Pokédex App on your Rotom Phone?” Jacq turned to Juliana.
“Of course, Professor Jacq!” Juliana agreed.
After Jacq upgraded Juliana’s Pokédex to add the Kitakami Pokédex, Briar, Juliana and the other three students headed off for a long plane flight and bus ride to Kitakami Road in the Kitakami region. As they took a rest at the bus stop, the red cap student started feeling motion sick and Briar requested Juliana to find some help at the nearby town’s community center. Juliana agreed out of kindness and selflessness, and headed off to the nearby Mossui Town.
Juliana was intrigued by the variety of Pokémon not seen in Paldea, Yanma, Poochyena, Volbeat, Johtoian Wooper, Corphish and Sewaddle. She stopped herself from being distracted as she arrived at Mossui Town and saw a pair of siblings, an older sister and a younger brother, talking to each other in front of the community center.
“Are those two kids residents of Mossui Town?” Juliana thought to herself. “Maybe they can help tend to Josue.”
The younger brother saw Juliana and turned to his sister.
“Sis! Look!” He said. “There’s another one!”
The Older sister smiled to herself and ran off towards Juliana with her younger brother following her and hiding behind her back.
“Hello.” The Older sister greeted Juliana by waving. “I see that you do not belong here in Kitakami. Who might you be?”
“Hello.” Juliana smiled, unaware that the kindness the older sister has is a facade. “I’m Juliana. I study at Naranja Academy in Paldea and I need your help.”
The younger brother leaned sideways a bit from behind his sister and looked at Juliana in awe.
“No way…” He muttered. “So cool…”
“Hush, Kieran.” The older sister turned to her younger brother, Kieran, before facing Juliana. “Anyway, Juliana, my name is Carmine and I am afraid I cannot let you pass to Mossui Town. Not unless you battle me.”
“Hold on.” Juliana raised her hands. “I actually need help.”
“She’s right, Sis.” Kieran said. “We can’t just battle strangers out of nowhere.”
“Kiki… I said-” Carmine growled before she was interrupted by Juliana.
“One of my classmates fell ill after a long flight and bus ride and I need to find someone who can help me out by tending to him.” Juliana said.
“N-no way!” Kieran shook his head. “Th-this is a very serious matter! I’ll go get the caretaker so he can help!”
As Kieran runs off to get some help, Carmine turns to him.
“Kiki, what are you-?!” Carmine tried to call out to her brother, but he was far off, so she turned to Juliana. “Well, it seems that you managed to speak some sense to my younger brother, but unfortunately, you will not fool me.”
“This isn’t a joke!” Juliana tried to calm Carmine down.
“I don’t care what you say. We are going to battle.” Carmine growled as she took a Pokéball and sent out Poochyena.
Juliana sighed as she had no choice as she sent out Annihalape.
It didn’t take some effort for Juliana since she just used Annihalape to defeat Carmine’s Poochyena, Vulpix and Poltchageist.
“I cannot believe it!” Carmine growled as she grabbed the strands on her hair. “There is no way you should have been able to beat me!” She takes a deep breath and calms down. “Alright… I guess you pass… barely. I’ll let you into town. But only if you become one of my grunts and do every little thing I-”
Just as Carmine was about to make Juliana into her “grunt”, Kieran and an old man come out of the community center.
“Oi!” The man called out to Carmine. “What are you doing, causing a ruckus out here?!”
“Tch… here comes trouble.” Carmine hissed before running off.
“Sis! Wait up!” Kieran called out to her to no avail. He let out a sigh. “I am so sorry… Sis can be… stubborn.”
“It’s ok.” Juliana smiled. “I dealt with worse.”
“I see that you are a student of Naranja Academy” The old man turned to Juliana and smiled. “I will be the caretaker for your trip. I apologize for Carmine’s behavior. She has been rowdy as of last week. Also, I got word from Kieran that you need help on a classmate of yours who fell ill. Is that correct?”
“Y-yes, sir.” Kieran nodded.
“Very Well.” The Caretaker said. “I will help out.”
“Thank you.” Juliana said. “They’re still at the bus stop.”
“Thank you, young lady.” The Caretaker smiled. “You are such a kind girl.”
The Caretaker left to tend to the sick student.
“Th-thank you for the w-warning.” Kieran said, playing with his hair. “And… I’m sorry for Sis’ behavior…”
“Don’t worry about it.” Juliana smiled. “You made the right choice to tell someone. Oh, she did challenge me to a battle and I defeated her.”
“Wowzers!” Kieran gasped. “You actually beat my sis?! No people could defeat Sis when they arrived at Kitakami.”
“You have a lot of knowledge on this, Kieran.” Juliana shook her head.
“I actually live here.” Kieran smiles shily. “And… I look forward to studying with you for this Field Trip.”
Kieran ran back home as Briar, the caretaker and the students arrived, the red cap the student feeling better. After that, everyone had a feast at the community center and had a goodnight sleep.
“What an interesting Field Trip we’re gonna have.” Juliana thought to herself. “Kieran’s such a nice kid… but Carmine… I feel like I might have trouble trying to get to know her if she has some issues with me trying to enter Mossui…”
The Paldean girl went to bed, trying to get a good night's sleep for the next day.
