"Come on, Gladion be quiet," Sun whispered into Gladion's ear. He laughed loudly and Lillie tilted her head,
"Anyways, welcome to the new Aether Foundation!" Gladion opened his arms as they all looked around. Everything was so advanced, screens everywhere, so much technology. It was everywhere!
"This place is different since we came," Lillie looked around.
"Well, so where are you two lovebirds headed next?" Gladion crossed his arms and looked at Sun, "Gladion!" Sun pushed him to the side, "I told you no!" Sun let go of him and let him breathe.
Gladion put his arms up like he was getting arrested, "Ok, I'll stop," he put his hands down and toured them around the place. Gladion also laughed a lot during some moments that Sun and Lillie were next to each other.
"This place keeps getting better," Sun smiled and looked at Gladion, he smiled at Sun.
"Alright, that's the end. Thanks for visiting guys," Gladion waved at Sun and Lillie as they flew back to Melemele island. The whole ride Lillie hung on to Sun's shoulder. Sun noticed it and widened his eyes.
They arrived back to the island in Iki Town.
"Alright, your back guys!" Hau rushed over to Sun and smiled like always.
"Hey Hau, we were visiting the new Aether Foundation," Sun looked at Lillie and they locked eyes for a second.
"Nice, I want to visit sometime!" Hau jumped up with excitement and force at the same time almost making a tiny earthquake for them.
"Hey, Lillie, why don't we have a Ninetales battle?" Sun put his hand to Lillie, "Do you have six Pokemon?" he asked and Lillie nodded back to him.
"Alright then, let's begin!" yelled Hau. The battle between Lillie and Sun had now begun, Sun had been waiting all these years for this battle.
Lillie sent out Ninetales and Sun sent out Alolan Ninetales.
"Ninetales versus Alolan Ninetales! I'm hyped," Hau started jumping again over and over.
"Ok Ninetales, Dazzling Gleam!" Alolan Ninetales ran down the battlefield then did the attack. It hurt Lillie's Ninetales only a bit.
"Alright, Flamethrower!" Lillie threw her hands in the air as Ninetales threw the hottest fire it can blasting on the other Pokemon. It hurt Sun's Alolan Ninetales pretty badly.
Both of their Pokemon were pretty fast to attack and move.
Since Lillie's Ninetales had the advantage, she won the match.
SWISH, "Alolan Ninetales is unable to battle, Ninetales wins and the match goes to Lillie!" Sun brought back his Pokemon.
"Ninetales, we beat the Alola champion!" Lillie yelled out.
"That was certainly a match zzt!" Rotom flew out of Sun's backpack all excited, "So Sun, when will you express your feelings zzzzt? You have told me you like her zzt!" Rotom flew around Sun and Lillie.
"Shut up, Rotom! That's between us!" Sun screamed at Rotom, "Sorry, I should keep my zzt mouth shut," Lillie looked at Rotom confused.
"You should Rotom," Sun said with a mad voice.
"That was great Lillie! You were really strong," Sun ran over to Lillie, she blushed when he told her that.
"Thanks, Sun! Our battle was great," Lillie rushed up to Sun and hugged him hard. "You have taught me a lot!" Lillie immediately knew what she was doing and backed away from him.
"To celebrate, why not go buy some malasadas?" Hau was jumping up and down really quick all excited. Sun and Lillie started laughing hard.'Lillie sure has gotten strong since her trip to Kanto.' thought Sun. He smiled to himself and looked over at Lillie. He thought it was almost time to break his secret to her.
