Lillie was sitting in her room and she was alone. She felt lonely because she didn't have any one to spend time with. Her older brother, Gladion, left Aether and took the Pokémon Type: Null with him. She had been left behind but she still loved her brother. Lillie's only friend was Wicke but she was too busy to spend time with her and her mother, Lusamine, was performing some experiments which left her too busy to spend time with her. Her mother was the president of Aether and that makes her really busy. Lillie didn't want to spend time with her mother even if she did have time to be with her because her mother scares her.
Lillie wanted to go outside and get some fresh air so that's what she was going to do. She was walking down the long hallway and was heading towards the elevator. Lillie made the decision to stop and visit Wicke and tell her that she was gonna go outside. She needed to let someone know where she was going and Wicke was the only one that she trusted.
While Lillie was walking down the hallway that was leading to Wicke's lab she heard a scream come from the first door that she was about to pass. She jumped because she wasn't expecting to hear a scream come from one of the labs. She heard it again and she decided to investigate the source of the scream. Lillie heard it again and tried to make out what it sounded like. It sounded like the scream of a young girl.
Lillie made her way towards the door and slightly opened it so she can see what was inside. To her horror she saw that it was actually girl. The girl had black hair that was in braided twin tails that went past her shoulders. The girl also had blue eyes. The girl was wearing a jumpsuit that had a code on it. Lillie saw that the code was UBT –1. Lillie watched in horror when she saw that the girl was experimented on. She could tell that the girl was in a lot of pain. She wanted to jump in there and save her but she knew that there was nothing she could at the moment. She was even more shocked to see that her mother was there watching the girl. She knew her mother was cruel but she didn't know that she was that cruel.
Lillie decided to try to sneak into that lab while everyone else was sleeping. She had access to most of the room in Aether. When it was late enough for everyone to be asleep Lillie snuck out of her room and went back to the lab where she saw the girl. When she got in the lab she saw a huge cage and the girl was in it. She started to walk towards the cage but after taking a few steps the girl in the cage looked up and saw Lillie walking towards her. She was scared that she was going to go through another experiment.
"S-stay back!" The girl said
Lillie stopped and looked at the girl. She understood that this girl was afraid because of the torture that she went through.
"P-please don't come any closer" The girl said
"It's ok, I won't hurt you" Lillie said
The girl was giving Lillie a look of doubt. Lillie wasn't surprised that this girl didn't trust her. To be honest, if she was in her position she wouldn't trust anyone ether. Lillie was gonna try to gain her trust.
"I'm not sure if I can trust you" The girl said
"I understand that you don't trust anyone here but I'm different" Lillie said
The girl continued to stare at Lillie. For some reason she was getting the feeling that this girl was different from the others.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Lillie" Lillie said
The girl remained silent. She was too shy to talk this girl now. She was only able to speak to her because she thought that she was going to hurt her.
"What's your name?" Lillie asked
The girl mutter her name but Lillie didn't hear her.
"What?" Lillie asked
"I don't have a name" The girl said
"You don't?" Lillie asked
"I've only been called UHB-01. But I don't like it" The girl said
"Alright then I'll give you a name" Lillie said
"Huh?" Moon asked
Lillie stared at the girl for a moment before she was finally able to come up with a name.
"Moon" Lillie said
"Huh?" The girl asked
"You're name will be Moon. Do you like it?" Lillie asked
Moon thought about her new name and let a small smile appear on her face.
"I-I like it" Moon said
"All right! From now on your name is Moon" Lillie said
Moon only nodded in reply as she avoided looking at Lillie. Lillie guessed that Moon was just a shy girl. She wanted to be Moon's friend. She made the decision to get her out of that cage. She was walking towards the cage and started to pick the lock on the cage. Moon was watched as the girl was trying to pick the lock open. The cage finally opened and Lillie held out her hand towards Moon. She hesitated at first but she eventually took Lillie's hand.
Lillie guided Moon to her room and closed the door. Moon looked around the room that she was in and saw how nice it was. She has been to different rooms but she's never been inside a bedroom before. She looked back at Lillie and saw that she was looking at her too. Moon saw that Lillie had a smile on her face and she thought that smile looked really cute.
"Let's take bath together" Lillie said
Moon was taken aback by Lillie's sudden suggestion. She couldn't form any words so she just nodded and that made Lillie smile. She dragged Moon to the bathroom and the two girls were now taking a bath. Moon didn't know what to do. She's been lab rat for a long time and now she was being treated like an actual person by this girl. When their bath was done Lillie put on another white dress and had one for Moon as well. Moon tilted her head in confusion because she thought that the jumpsuit was the only clothing that she ever got.
"You have to wear something else besides that ugly jumpsuit and I think that this would suit you" Lillie said
Moon took the dress and put it on since she didn't want to disappoint her friend so she put on the dress and Lillie looked at her. She saw a frown form on her face. Moon was scared because she was given that look a lot by the scientist here.
"I guess it doesn't suit you after all" Lilli said
Lillie then formed another smile and went back to her closet and rummaged through it. She then brought out another dress but this one was different. The dress was black and had white floral patterns all over them. The dress was sleeveless but it had straps that was that goes over the shoulder.
"Please try this on" Lillie said
Moon did what Lillie told her to do. She took off the white dress and put on the other dress that Lillie found. Moon then looked back at Lillie and saw that she was smiling.
"This one suites you better than the white one. It looks great on you" Lillie said
Moon looked away and a blush appeared on her face.
"T-thank y-you" Moon stuttered
Lillie then started to brush Moon's hair. Moon felt relaxed when she felt the brush on her hair. When she was done Lillie brought out some food that she made herself.
"You must be hungry, so I bought some food for you" Lillie said
Moon looked at the food and saw that it was Malasada. Lillie was smiling at her and Moon could tell that it was a very genuine smile. When they were done Lillie told that she could share the bed with her. Moon heard this and started crying. Lillie saw that she was crying and was starting to panic. She wondered if she did something wrong.
"What's wrong? Did I do something wrong? Whatever I did I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry" Lillie said
"You didn't do anything wrong" Moon said
"Then why are you crying?" Lillie asked
"No one has ever been this nice to me before. I'm really happy that you're treating so kindly. The only one who treated me like this was Wicke but she was never this nice to me" Moon said
Lillie felt really bad for Moon. She didn't know how long she had been here but she knew that it was long time Lillie hugged her and told that everything would be okay.
"I'm so sorry that you're being treated like this. My mom is a terrible person" Lillie said
"Your mom?" Moon asked
"The tall, blonde woman that was there was my mom" Lillie said
Moon was shocked to hear this news. She couldn't believe that Lillie was related to such a heartless woman.
"I heard your screams when I was on that floor and decided to see what it was and I saw that it was you being tormented. I wanted to help you but my mother has power over me and I knew that there was nothing that I could do at the moment. So I decided to wait until the evening when most activities are done for the day" Lillie said
Moon couldn't help it and started to cry even more. She was so happy that Lillie went out of her way to help her. Moon decided to show Lillie something
"Can I show something?" Moon asked
"Sure, what is it?" Lillie said
"It's back down at the lab that I was in" Moon said
Lillie was curious now. What did Moon want to show her? Moon asked Lillie to guide her back down to the lab since she doesn't know her way around the place like Lillie does. They made it back down to the lab and Lillie watched as Moon went to a cage and opened it. Lillie knew that there were pokemon in the cages. Did Moon want to show her a pokemon? If she did, then what kind of pokemon did she want to show her?
Moon turned around and saw that Moon was looked really cute. The pokemon looked like a purple cloud and it had some blue star clouds on top of its head.
"What's that?" Lillie said
"It's a pokemon but I don't know what kind of pokemon it is. No one even knows its name" Moon said
Lillie looked at the pokemon and saw that it kind of looks like a nebula. That's when she thought of a name that came to mind.
"Nebby"
"Huh?" Moon said
"This pokemon looks like a nebula so I think its name should be Nebby" Lillie said
Moon looked at her friend and smiled at her. Lillie just came up with a name of the pokemon.
"I think it suites it" Moon said
Moon then looked away from Lillie and her friend noticed that she was looking sad.
"What's wrong?" Lillie asked
"This pokemon is undergoing experiments like me" Moon said
Lillie couldn't believe her ears. Her mom was experimenting on this pokemon. Moon also told her that the experiments were causing it pain.
"That's it" Lillie said
Moon looked at Lillie and wondered what she was thinking about.
"Moon, I think we should get out of this place" Lillie said
"What do you mean?" Moon asked
"We should escape" Lillie said
"E-e-escape?" Moon asked
"I want to leave this place. I want to take you and Nebby with me" Lillie said
"But can we really do it?" Moon asked
Moon then heard a cry and looked down to see that Nebby was awake.
"Let's escape together" Lillie said
Moon looked at Lillie and thought about it for a minute. She didn't want to stay here and be a lab rat.
"Okay" Moon said
"So the two of you want to escape Aether?" A voice asked
Lillie and Moon turned around with a feeling of fear and they saw that it was Wicke.
"Wicke?" Lillie asked
Moon hid herself behind Lillie. She knew that Wicke was kind but she was nervous around other people.
"Don't try to stop us, Wicke" Lillie said
"Why would I try to stop you?" Wicke asked
"Huh?" Lillie asked
"I think escaping this place is the best choice. I suggest that you go to someone named Professor Burnet" Wicke said
"Why?" Lillie asked
"I think it would be best if you find out what Nebby is" Wicke said
"I see. Thanks Wicke" Lillie said
"No problem. Now you better go get ready before everyone notices that something is wrong" Wicke said
Lillie and Moon nodded and went back to Lillie's room and packed some supplies. Lillie took Nebby and put it in a large bag that she picked up. The two girls then proceeded to head towards the exit but to their dismay some of the employees that were already awake spotted them. Lillie grabbed Moon and ran down the hallway and the employees gave chase.
The hallway they were down was now blocked by some more employees. They ran back the other way but the two employees from earlier were there. They looked back and forth. They were trapped and there was no way that they would be able to get away. At that moment, Nebby started to glow and released some of its power. The two girls were teleported but they fell unconscious since the power was so overwhelming.
