Two girls wandered on an island known as Exeggutor Island, in search for a moon flute. One of the girls named Lillie looked up at the sky to see dark clouds forming.
"Oh no, it looks like it's going to rain, Moon let's hurry and find a place to stay for now," Lillie said worriedly towards her friend who then nodded in recognition.
"Don't worry Lillie. We'll find a place before it rains." Moon looked around but only saw large boulders and trees."…Maybe… heh okay I lied, we probably won't find a place before it rains." Moon smiled nervously, which made Lillie puff up her cheeks in annoyance.
"Moon! Don't say that wel-" Before she got to finish her sentence, a drop of water fell onto her nose and another one and another one, until it started to go faster.
"See told youuu." Moon giggled as Lillie frequently looked around for shelter.
"Mooooon! C'mon, please help me find some place to hide!" Lillie pleaded as she took off her backpack and held it on top of her head to block the light rain that poured down on her face.
"Alrightttt, I'll find a place in a jiffy." Moon ran off to a different direction than they were going originally. She continued to pass many trees and giant rocks, Lillie tried to keep up the best as she could, but she had trouble catching up with the hyper trainer.
"Moon slow down! I can't run that fast! Pleaaaase!" Lillie shouted out to her friend, hoping for her to stop. Moon slowly stopped when she heard Lillie cried. She waited until Lillie finally caught up with her; she turned around to face her, who was still running with all her might. Lillie manages to catch up to her, but she was breathing heavily and with shaky arms that looked as if they'll give up holding the backpack that hovered on top of her head at any moment.
"Oopies heh, I forgot you don't have trainer legs like I do Lillie, but why are you still covering your head with your backpack? It's not even raining that hard! I'm barely wet!" Moon gave Lillie a sly grin which Lillie in return puffed up her cheeks in annoyance. Before she could respond, the soft rain started to fall even harder, and Moon's sly grin turned into an uh-oh face.
"Spoke to soon! Hurry, give me your backpack, I'll carry it for you." Lillie complied by giving Moon her backpack. Quickly, the trainer wore the backpack in a quick session, with that done she promptly grabbed lilies hand which caused them both to blush simultaneously.
"C'mon! I'll lead the way." Moon ran off with Lillie who was being bombarded by the rain. Luckily, they didn't have to search for too long as Moon spotted a small little cave on the side of a hill not too far off. She ran at breaking speeds that even a Tauros would be amazed by; Lillie, however, was getting exhausted by the second, her legs felt as if they were burning immensely in the inside, but none of that mattered as rain continuously fell on her face, getting every part of her clothes wet.
"We're almost there Lillie, just hold on a bit I promise," Moon shouted over the loud sound of thunder. Fortunately, Moon's promise was correct as they finally arrived at the small cave.
They entered the cave with heavy sighs, letting go of each other's hands, Moon put down her bag and the backpack on the floor. Both girls leaned on the surprisingly smooth cave walls, catching their breaths.
"My legs feel like they're gonna fall off." Moon cried out. "And these wet clothes aren't helping my uncomfortableness. Well, I guess they're not that wet, just a few spots here and there" Moon said out loud.
"Heh, I thought your trainer's legs could handle anything? I'm sure a simple sprint like we did wouldn't get you this exhausted." Lillie chuckled as she sat on the cold floor.
"Heeey I'm not a super athletic trainer! I had to use my whole energy to run that fast." Moon spoke back; suddenly a soft roar was heard.
"What was that?! What if it was a dangerous Pokémon?! Or worse! An ultra-beast?! Oh no, Moon, we need to get out of here now!" Lillie quickly stood up to wear her backpack, she immediately grabbed Moon's arm afterward and tried to pull her but there was resistance coming from the trainer, Moon pulled back with little force.
"I'm not leaving you, Moon! I won't let anything happen to you! C'mon hurries up. We need to go!" She struggled to pull Moon with all of her strength. "Why aren't you coming with me! I-I Won't lose you to Moon!"
"N-no Lillie, it wasn't an ultra-beast or even a Pokémon for that matter…" Lillie stopped her struggle, she turned around to look at Moon, staring into Lilies eyes, and the trainer noticed little tears in her eyes as if she was crying for her safety.
"Eh um it w-was… m-my stomach… heh" Moon scratched her head in embarrassment as she looked away from her friend. Lillie also blushed at her predicament, she was so worried about the ultra-beasts that she had mistaken Moons stomach growling like a monster growling.
"U-uh oh… I see." Lillie noticed she was still gripping on to the trainer's arm. She lets go of it quickly. She then wiped away her small tears. "O-oh, I'm really sorry if I hurt your arm Moony." Moon stared back at her and giggled gently at the little nickname Lillie just now gave her. Confused, Lillie tried to process at what she had said until it hit her like a solar beam, "Moony." Her blush intensified to the max making her whole face redder than a Charmeleon.
She covered her face with her hands in embarrassment. "S-sorry for calling you that Moon! It just suddenly came out of nowhere; I just thought about it in my head." Lillie rubbed her right arm.
"Don't worryyyy its fine Lillie! I really love the little nickname. No one has ever given me one before." The green-eyed girl sighed in relief." Well if you like it then I can keep calling you that." Moon only nodded.
"And Sorry for getting you so worried about a possible Ultra beast attack. My tummy is quite hungry from all that running." Moon rubbed her stomach while pointing at her mouth. Lillie only giggled in response.
"Wellll Moon-y, I do have some food that I packed up." Lillie took off her backpack to lay it on the ground. While she was looking for any snacks in her bag, Moon found a perfect spot to sit down on the ground.
"Well hopefully it isn't berries; I'm getting tired of eating them every day. Maybe you packed some steak? Heh, I can go for that right now." The dark-haired girl drooled at the thought of a juicy steak. Lillie smiled and rolled her eyes at the silliness of her friend.
"Now, why in the world would I keep a steak in my backpack?" Lillie questioned as she finally found the snacks she was looking for. She sat down right next to Moon with her backpack on her lap, still digging through it.
"Welllll do you?" Moon now had stars in her eyes, anime style.
The blond assistant brought out a bag of grapes. "Hm, I guess I only have grapes. I thought I had packed some sandwiches in; I guess I must've forgotten about them." Lillie frowned at her mistake of forgetting to pack some food. "Well sorry, Moony I guess we have to eat these grapes." Lillie turned to the side to show her the bag of grapes, but she came to face to face with Moon who stared at her like a predator. Moon licked her lips as if she was going to eat some steak dinner.
"Uhhh, Moon? Why are you looking at me like that?" The trainer responded in an animalistic way which gave the blond-haired girl shivers.
"Maybe… Should I eat you instead? Heheh you do look rather tasty." Moon responded evilly which caused Lillie to scoot away from her. "W-wah?"
Lillie was growing more afraid that perhaps Moon was so malnourished that she had lost her mind. Before she could process it anymore, she froze as Moon leaned into her neck, Lillie could feel her soft breath hitting her sensitive neck as if she was going to nibble it. Moon licked her lips a second time which sent even more tingling shivers down her spine.
"You…" Moon whispered into her ear. Lillie still froze in place, she couldn't respond back, but with all her willpower, she manages to choke out a word.
"Me?" Lillie could feel the smile that Moon had, but she had no way to look to see if she was correct. Moon whispered back.
"You look like a honey bun." Moon exploded with laughter as she leans back and saw the embarrassed expression that covered Lilies face.
"M-MOONY!" right as she yelled her name, thunder crackled loudly outside. Lillie placed the bag of grapes back into her backpack.
Lillie puffed up her cheeks in anger, which caused Moon to giggle "Hehe I'm sorry Lillie I just had to do it. It's so fun to mess around with you. I just feel so much more alive when you're around." Lillie's rage soon faded as she tried to hide away her smile from Moon.
"Really? I thought I was a boring person to hang around with, all I do is cause trouble with the people around me, I'm a disaster…Maybe my mother was right. I should just give up searching for the moon flute before I cause any more harm to my friends, especially you." She whispered that one part to herself as she looked down in dismay.
"No… You're wrong," Moon said silently but loud enough to be heard by the girl in front of her. The trainer stood up. "Get up. "Moon commanded which confused Lillie as she looked up to see Moon crying.
Lillie immediately stood up from the sight; she couldn't bear seeing her hero in such a state. "Moony did I say something wrong?!" Lillie said in a worried tone. The trainer replied in a caring tone.
"Yes, you did something horrible. You doubt yourself, and I can't let that happen! Lillie!" Moon gripped both of her shoulders and stared into her green eyes with the black eyes of her own.
"You're the best thing that ever happened to me when coming to this region! Without you, I don't even think I would've become a trainer or even made it this far. I wouldn't get to venture this far out here and see the beautiful landscapes, cities, towns and the Pokémon of this region. But they all look way more spectacular when you're with me; I feel I can do anything with you just being by my side." Lillie at this moment had teary eyes; she couldn't contain the tears that were free falling down her cheeks.
"Lillie you're the bravest person that I know! You feared your mom but even then, you stood up to her by running away with Cosmog, and just now recently you managed to talk back to her about how everything she's doing was wrong."
"You care about every Pokémon's safety, the matter of fact you care about everyone's safety, even your mothers! Who had done horrible things to Pokémon's and you, but that's what I admired about you. You are such a caring person… You'll even risk your life to go to another dimension just to reason with your mother. Now that is brave." Moon carefully used her thumb to wipe away the tears from her face.
"Shhh, don't cry lil bun." Moon soothed the crying girl with her words, yet she was also crying too. The crying stopped as they stared into each other's eyes, admiring their different eye colors. Soon their heads came down close to each other, their lips almost touching until they both said the three words that came to each other's minds.
"I love you."
"I love you."
So, they closed the gap between them with an eternal kiss. The kiss felt like it lasted for an eternity for the two but, it was only 5 seconds before they pulled back. Both girls had a deep blush on their faces.
Lillie had never felt so happy in all her life; her first kiss was with her friend that she traveled around the region with, the hero that saved her and Nebby so many countless times. She couldn't be happier. Moon felt her stomach doing backflips. She had so much pent up energy that she could take on a whole army of ultra-beasts. Moon responded first.
"T-that felt good heh. C-can we try that again… maybe as g-girlfriends? I mean if that's what you want." Upon hearing this, Lillie immediately nodded vigorously. "Yes! Most definitely yes, Moony. I've had a crush on you for a while, ever since you first appeared and saved Nebby. I always saw you as my knight in shining armor while I'm the princess that needed help." Upon hearing that Moon smiled brightly with a tint of blush.
"Well I don't know if I want to be your knight, heh maybe I can just be your Moon." The brave trainer twiddled her thumbs, Lillie had to reframe from aww-ing at the scene. "Oh, Moony you
don't have to be nervous." Lillie leans in to hug her Moon. "You'll forever be my Moon," Lillie said.
"And you'll be my lil honey bun." Moon snickered, which Lillie broke the hug with a "are you series" face.
"Whaaaat I'm still hungry! And it sounds like the rain has stopped." The trainer commented as they both looked outside to see that Moon was right. "Well, it's time to head off," Lillie commented as they got their bags. They walked out of the cave holding each other's hands. "With the both of us, we can accomplish anything!" Exclaimed moon. The future looked bright for the lovely couple.
