With that out of the way, a few important things about the story:
Lillie's age in this is 18 year old. Liafair is 20. Hau is 15 and Gladion is 25. The age of other characters is not really an issue, so I will not bother.
This first chapter is a test run of a small yuri romance fic I had in my mind for a little while. If enough people read it and like it, I'll go on. If not... dunno.
Initially, I was going to use my male trainer that I used for each game starting from fire red, Akaruy. But then I thought I would try my hand at writing a yuri, so Liafair was the chosen one.
If this story does continue, there will be MASSIVE changes to the canon story of Sun and Moon, and while the general outline of the story will be followed, details and events will be twisted and changed the way I find more useful for the story.
This story will be written in Lillie's POV.
I'll leave you to it now. Please leave a review if you like it, it would be a great help.
"Nebby!"
I screamed out its name, watching helplessly as my little friend was attacked mercilessly by Spearows. The three bird pokémon were circling above it, continuously diving on it and pecking it, the little cloud-like pokémon crying out in fear and pain.
And yet, I was frozen in fear, my legs refusing to move as I was trying to gather the courage to brave the dangerous looking bridge. Each time Nebby cried out, both my resolve and my apprehension grew, keeping me rooted into place, incapable of deciding what to do, desperate tears falling from my eyes.
And suddenly, someone passed me and run towards Nebby, braving the bridge without even hesitating. They quickly reached Nebby and threw themselves on top of it, shielding the little pokémon with their own body to try and keep the Spearows away. One of the birds hit their arm with their claws, drawing a small cry of pain from the person.
All of a sudden, blue and purple energy started swirling around Nebby, then exploded outward, scaring the Spearows but also destroying the bridge, making both Nebby and its protector fall down toward the river underneath.
However, before I had time to react in any way, a lightning descended from the sky, shocking away the three Spearows and quickly moving toward the two falling figures. Reaching them, the lightning caught them and swiftly brought them back on safe ground, a few meters beside me.
As soon as they had touched the ground, the lightning fast being moved away, stopping a few paces away from both them and me. It was Tapu Koko!
It was human-sized, black in color except for the tall crest on its head and its tail, which were orange; its arms ended in what looked like two halves of a great mask, which was a paler shade of orange.
The Tapu suddenly moved towards the unknown person, stopping mere centimeters away from their face and staring at them, the person staring back at the island protector without so much as blinking. As fast as it had closed the distance, Tapu Koko istantly moved away and took flight, rapidly disappearing from sight.
I was still looking dazedly looking at the spot the Tapu had just occupied when I heard a gentle female voice calling me. I turned toward Nebby's savior, finally registering their appearance: it was a young girl, probably around my age. She had blonde hair, a few shades darker than mine, almost the color of caramel, waving past her shoulders to reach the middle of her back. Her eyes were the color of amber. Her skin was tanned, and while she was lithe, her body looked strong. She was dressed in a black tank top and shorts, and red and black shoes. She also had a shoulder bag that looked to be made in some kind of scaly skin, probably a dragon pokémon skin.
"Are you alright?" she asked again, and I realized I had yet to reply to her. I also noticed the gash on her right arm, where the Spearow had hit her.
"You're asking me?" I replied "Look at your arm! I can't believe you got hurt because I was too afraid to do anything..."
"Hey hey, none of that" she said "it's normal to be afraid in such a situation, and we can't all be as reckless as I am"
She got to her feet, Nebby still in her arms.
"I do believe this little guy is yours" she joked, handing me Nebby.
"Thank you so much" I said, taking Nebby in my arms and hugging it "I was so scared he was going to be seriously hurt… then to see you two falling into the ravine.."
"Yeah, that looked bad" she said "If that strange pokémon hadn't been there, I don't know what I would have done"
She had said it with a completely straight face. I couldn't believe she was brushing the thing off as if it was nothing!
"You could have died!" I cried "How can you be so dismissive of it? If you died trying to save Nebby…"
"Hey hey" she said gently, putting a hand on my shoulder "Sorry, I didn't mean to sound as if I didn't care. But what's done is done, no point thinking about 'what ifs'. Nothing bad happened, Nebby is safe and we got to see a cool pokémon. Not bad for my first day here uh?"
"Your first day…?" I asked, surprised, before realizing who she was "You are the girl who arrived today with her mother from Kanto!"
"Yep, that's me" she told me, one hand on her hip and the other giving me a thumb up "name's Tsuki, from Pallet Town, nice to meet you"
"uh, nice to meet you too" I replied "I'm Lilie, I work as Professor Kukui assistant"
"Cool" she said "Now that that's out of the way, could you tell me where I could find the Kahuna? Prof told me to look for him, but then I saw you and got curious"
"Sure I can help you… but maybe you should get someone to look at the cut on your arm.."
"Nah, don't worry about it" she said dismissively, turning around towards the path back to the village "it's just a small cut, nothing to fret over"
"Alright..." I replied sadly, lowering my head.
I wanted to have her check that injury. I was sure it would be uncomfortable, and if it got infected… if you got an injury, you should have it checked, no matter how small it may seem to you! But… I was afraid that if I insisted, she would get angry…
"Though, I guess letting my mom get a look at it wouldn't be much of a bother..." she mumbled, just loud enough for me to hear.
My head snapped in her direction, and she looked back at me and shrugged.
"You looked bothered by it, and it's not that much of a problem to quickly pass by my house" she simply said "come on. Let's get back to the village"
