This chapter is in Lillie's perspective. I can't express how fun this story has been for me so far! This chapter will be my attempt to add some backstory for Lillie. I'm going to try to make is as epic as possible. I do hope you enjoy!
Chapter 4 Lillie's Story
After... last night, I left the beach and went home, leaving Sun in the sand. I had a great time but I didn't want to stay there the whole night. Suddenly, I heard a knock-knock. It was still early so I wondered who it was. "Who is it?" I asked.
"Howzit, Lillie? It's me Hau!" Hau said.
I opened the door to let him in and said, "What brings you here?"
"Well," he began, "I was just bored... I got scolded by the other Kahunas because i skipped the last meeting but that's that. So how was last night?"
"It was great! We ate malasadas... well I mean Nebby ate them really but after that we went to the beachfront."
"What happened next?" Hau asked.
"I challenged him to a battle but it was such a good battle that it ran late... and we never finished do to Sun falling asleep."
"Oh... so did you guys... you know... have a 'successful first date'?" Hau said with a grin.
"Yeah, I guess you could say that." I said shyly.
"Hey Lillie, do you ever miss Kanto?" Hau said changing the subject.
"Yes, sometimes. I still remember when I first got off the ship and stepped foot in Kanto."
The, Hau asked, "Lillie, you never actually told me what happened on the first day you were there."
"Well, it is a rather long story... actually more of a medium sized story. If you have time for it I'll tell you."
"Yeah! That would be awesome!" Hau said enthusiastically.
-Flash Back-
"Wow! There it is. The Kanto region. I've read so much about it, I can't believe I'm finally here!" I said to myself. I could see the region from the ferry. We arrived at Pallet Town. My mom was being escorted to Bill's House but I decided to stick around Pallet Town for a bit and told my mother that I would meet here there. I should have known better though as I couldn't figure out where to go. I was about to walk through route 1 with a bag full of repels until I was stopped by a professor named Oak.
"Why hello there! You shouldn't walk through route 1 without a Pokemon!"
I replied by saying, "Oh, it isn't a problem. I have a lot of repels!"
"You don't need all those repels!" he said. "Why not follow me to my lab? I could give you a Pokemon!"
Hearing this excited me as I wanted to start my own journey anyway. "Thank you very much Professor Oak."
"Well then are you a boy or a girl?" he asked... rather strange.
"Um... a girl." I replied.
"Are your parents around?"
"No... my mother is recovering from an illness."
"How old are you?"
"I'm 11." After hearing my response he creepily smiled. We walked over to his lab.
"Well, choose which Pokemon you would like. The fire-type Charmander? Perhaps the water-type Squirtle? Or even the grass-type Bulbasaur!" he asked.
"Wow... I can choose any one? I'll choose..." I thought for a bit. I was familiar with Charmander as it evolved into a Charizard which could be paged to ride on in Alola. I wanted to be like Sun who also had a water starter and so Squirtle may be a good option. And then if I ever wanted to beat Sun, I would need a lot of advantages, like a grass type advantage over water; a Venosaur over Primarina. "Oh I can't decide!"
"You know what," Oak began, "I have a fourth option... it may be tougher but it also may be what your looking for. The electric type Pichu!"
I was familiar with Pichu like I was with Charander, Sun had caught a Pichu on his journey, and Pichu had an advantage against Sun's starter, Primarina. "Yes! It's perfect! How can I thank you?"
To this, Oak said, "Well actually, there is a catch. I need you to take this Pokedex with you to help with my research. Is that okay with you?"
"Yes, of course!" I said with enthusiasm.
-End of Flash Back-
"And that's is what happened on the first day of Kanto!" I said, finishing my story.
"Wow! That sounds amazing. What did you do after you got Pichu? Did Oak get any creepier? What did you do with all your repels?" Hau asked, bombarding me with questions.
"I'll tell you another time Hau. I'm tired of telling stories for now. Don't you have somewhere to be about now?" I asked.
"What times is it?" He said looking down at his non-existent wristwatch.
"About 1:45." I said.
"OH NO! I'M LATE AGAIN! I HAD A MEETING AT 1:30!" He yelled.
"Do you want any tea or food before you leave?"
"NO THANKS! I GOT TO GO BYE!" he screamed back as he was already out the door and 20 yards away.
"Bye."
