>>46857952>But can anyone give a justifiable reason that Hilbert would like N at all?Not a shipper, but two things:
1. Shounen protagonist syndrome: "Wow, you're so strong! That's very cool, bro! Let's battle again, sometime!"
2. Because like Hilbert, N genuinely cares about pokemon. Even though N is trying to seperate Hilbert from his bros, he's doing so out of the misguided belief that all pokemon were being abused and needed to be free from trainer oppression. That and Hilbert finding out about N's backstory via Shadow Triad makes N more sympathic in his eyes.
