Hugh first appeared in the {{ | Hugh first appeared in the {{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}. He is a student at the [[Aspertia City]] [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]], along with {{adv|Blake}}, {{adv|Whitley}}, [[Leo]], {{adv|Yuki}}, {{adv|Yuko}}, and {{adv|Maya}}. Despite having a home in Aspertia, Hugh lives in the school dormitories, where he shares a room with Leo. Hugh is obsessed with getting stronger, which tends to put him at odds with his classmates, who tend to focus on things other than battling. | ||
Hugh debuted in ''[[PS525|The Transfer Student]]'', where he berated Blake and Leo for being late to class and angrily told Blake to focus more on improving himself as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} instead of flirting with girls. Their argument alerted the new teacher, {{adv|Cheren}}, who forced the three to sit outside as punishment. While they waited, Blake, Hugh, and Leo spotted the new transfer student, Whitley, arriving at class. Hearing the conversation Blake and others were having about Whitley, Cheren decided to skip the lecture and instead had the students battle each other. Separated into two groups by gender, Hugh battled against Leo and Blake, defeating the former, but losing to the latter. | Hugh debuted in ''[[PS525|The Transfer Student]]'', where he berated Blake and Leo for being late to class and angrily told Blake to focus more on improving himself as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} instead of flirting with girls.

In ''[[PS543|Abyssal Ruins]]'', Hugh awakened at the Trainers' School. He was taken there by [[Rood]] of the [[Seven Sages]], who revealed that Purrloin was safe in the care of someone else. Rood asked Hugh to give him the memory card, which contained data on a device capable of counteracting the [[Colress Machine]], a tool that could control Pokémon. When a group of Plasma Grunts burst in the room to stop them, Hugh stayed behind to keep them busy and told Rood to find the memory card in his room. Once Rood succeeded, he and Hugh fled to another location run by good Team Plasma members. With the memory card, they built the device, which eventually successfully stopped the Colress Machine. | In ''[[PS543|Abyssal Ruins]]'', Hugh awakened at the Trainers' School.

In ''[[PS547|The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition]]'', Hugh encountered Whitley again while infiltrating the Plasma Frigate. He apologized for his hostility towards her at Castelia, explaining that Rood told him everything about the internal situation within Team Plasma. He explained that he was looking for {{adv|N}}, as he was told that his sister's Purrloin was in his care. Once N was freed from captivity, he agreed to return Purrloin, but only after [[Ghetsis]] was defeated. As they headed to where Ghetsis was, Hugh encountered the Grunts that stole Purrloin. While Whitley and N went ahead, Hugh stayed behind to get his revenge and was assisted by Foongy. Though the Grunts were easily defeated, one refused to give up and tried to continue the battle by sending out a liberated {{p|Snivy}}. When the Snivy refused to fight Hugh, having chosen to side with him instead, the Grunts immediately surrendered. A sudden explosion soon tore the Plasma Frigate apart from the inside, after which Hugh went to meet with the others. After everyone fled to safe ground and regrouped, the Plasma Frigate crashed into the abandoned [[N's Castle]], setting it ablaze and putting the liberated Pokémon Team Plasma left behind in danger. Blake decided the best option to stop the fire was to combine the might of all three stages of the Unova [[ | In ''[[PS547|The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition]]'', Hugh encountered Whitley again while infiltrating the Plasma Frigate.

Teaming up with the Snivy he befriended, Hugh, Blake, Whitley, {{adv|Black}}, {{adv|White}}, Cheren, {{adv|Bianca}}, [[Benga]], and [[Cedric Juniper]] unleashed a triple, {{m|Grass Pledge|Grass}}, {{m|Fire Pledge|Fire}}, and {{m|Water Pledge}} combination attack, successfully dousing the flames. Afterward, Hugh and his sister were taken into N's Castle, where they were reunited with Purrloin. | ||
In ''[[PS548|Epilogue: Graduation Ceremony]]'', Hugh was forcibly taken to the Trainers' School, where his classmates apologized for treating him poorly and begged him to start attending class again. Embarrassed, Hugh agreed to come back to school and apologized for his earlier behavior as well. Later, Hugh attended the Trainers' School graduation ceremony with his classmates. | In ''[[PS548|Epilogue: Graduation Ceremony]]'', Hugh was forcibly taken to the Trainers' School, where his classmates apologized for treating him poorly and begged him to start attending class again.
