The next day after their first class which was Stoutland treasure hunt which Lana found a Sparkling stone which olivia will turn into a Z-Ring. we find Ash doing some Aura Training with Riolu. His other pokemon was beside him meditating. So far ash could detect The Aura of living things. He has yet to form An Aura Sphere. After thier training was done for the day. Ash went back into the center and got cleaned up. He exited the room he shared with Kiawe,Sophocles and Hau. He turned and bumped into someone. Ash noticed he was grabbing something soft and firm. He looked down and noticed that he was groping Lillie's chest. He quickly removed his hand while blushing red. "Sorry Lillie" he apologized before helping her up.

"It's okay ash, i should watch where im going" Lillie said brushing the dirt that got on her dress. She gave him a kiss on his cheek. "Thanks for being a gentleman."

She walked away with Snowy. Ash just watched her walk away. /Strange, its like everytime im near Lillie and My heart feels weird. is there something wrong with me?/ he went over to the phone and called his mother. He told her about the strange feelings he had when he is around Lillie. "Oh son, nothing is wrong with you, you have a Crush on Lillie." she chuckled.

"A crush?, so what do i do mom? i don't want things to be awkard between us?" Ash asked his mother many questions.

"First, get to know her, find out what she likes. and if she has the same feelings for you. Then try to tell her?" Delia said to him. "Alright ill try it. Thanks mom." Ash thanked his mother before going after Lillie. Luckily she was alone as she was feeding Nebby. "Hey Lillie want to go see Akala Island with me?" he asked his blonde classmate. Lillie smiled "Sure ash, lets go"

The two left the center with their pokemon. Nebby and Starcloud was in the thier bags. Ash took her towards the best places of Akala, Both of them was holding hands laughing and enjoying each others company. A Strange pokemon wearing a helmet was watching them go. They was standing near the beach watching the sunset. "II never get tired of watching the sun set" Lillie said.

Their pokemon was making a sand castle so the two sat down and talked. Ash told her some of his adventures and she told him about her life before the incident that made her not able to touch pokemon. "i still don't remember what made me unable to touch pokemon." Lillie sadly said.

"Whatever it was that happened is in the past. Your getting better with touching pokemon." Ash said to her. So far she is alright touching Ash's Pokemon and Snowy. "And its thanks to you Ash" said Lillie looking into his amber eyes. Ash was mezmorised by Lillie's bright green eyes. The two slowly moved their heads closer to each other until their lips was centameters apart.

"How romantic" said a sinister voice. Ash and Lillie turned to see a Man with a Voilet eyes, Tanned skin, black beard and black hair. His outfit was a robe with a two symbols on his robe (Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon Symbols). Greninja, pikachu and Snowy came ready to defend their trainers. Several Grunts with Black,Yellow, and Blue outfits was behind him. on their shirts was the symbol of the sun and moon with black markings. "Lady Lillie, We meet again" said the Man with an evil smirked. Lillie started to shake at the man. "Serndask." she mutters with fear. Serndask lets out an evil laugh "I see that your still afraid, Typical for a little girl."

"What do you want with us!" Ash shouted to Serndask. He got in front of Lillie with her in his arms.

"Simple, i came for the Cosmogs." said Serndask pointing to Nebby and Starcloud. Nebby and Starcloud went into Lillies arms scared of the man.

"If you thinking we will give you Nebby and Starcloud then you have another thing coming!" Lillie shouted holding them. Ash looked at nebby and Starcloud/so there called Cosmogs./

Serndask let out another laugh. "Why talk so big when you cant even touch pokemon. Speaking of which Lillie, i have someone here to see you" The dark man said as a Strange wormhole opened. out came three white jellyfish like pokemon. "N-N-Noo not them!" Shrieked Lillie.

"Ultra Beasts!" said Ash. Pikachu and Greninja readied themselves.

"Correct Boy!, UB-01 Symbiote or as i call them Nihilego." said Serndask. "Your mother was a fool firing me Lillie, I gave her the one chance to see the Ultra Beasts but she didn't approve of me using you to summon them. Team Eclispe will rise as the rulers of Alola and take away the Light of Alola. Casting an eternity of darkness"

"We wont let you you crazy nutjob!" Ash shouted to the man as Sir Aaron's staff appeared in his hand. Serndask Laughed again. "I have the Ultra Beasts at my command, you cant stop me boy! Nihilego!,why dont you give them a hug."

the Nihilego charge at the two. Greninja and Pikachu fired Water Shurikan and Thunderbolt at the Nihilego. they wouldn't stop and closed in. Nebby and Starcloud began crying to protect Ash and Lillie. The Nihilego was stopped in their tracks. "No!, curse those infernal Cosmogs, Men kill them!" said Serndask. The grunts released five houndooms, Three Skoropis and Two Garbodors.

"Were outmatched!" said Ash holding Lillie close to him. Lillie was frantically panicking. 'dont let them hurt me! she cried into his chest. Greninja,Pikachu and Snowy stood ready to fight. Nihilego #1 charged again at the two. "Null!" shouted a strange pokemon jumping between them and using Double Edge to hit Nihilego away. Ash saw it was a pokemon wearing a bronze helmet. and had a finlike tail. it's two front legs was bug like legs. Its upper half under the helm was dark brown fur and the rest was Black fur. "NULL!" Grunted the pokemon.

"So you finally revealed yourself Type;Null #2, Serve me or die!" Serndask said to the Ultra Beast hunter. "Null! Null!" grunted the pokemon before using Flamecharge on Nihilego along with Crush Claw. "Very well then, Nihilego attack Type;Null with Power Gem!"

the Nihilego fired multiple barrages of Power Gem at Type; Null. The poor pokemon couldn't fight back until Nihilego #3 used Poison Sting and the poor pokemon was on its side breathing heavily. "Stop this right now!" Ash shouted and stood between Null and the Ultra Beasts. Nihilego # 2 grabbed Ash and floated into the air. Nihilego started to glow as ash felt an intense pain all over his body. "ASH!,Ninja!,Pikapi!"screamed Lillie and pokemon. Serndask laughed at the boy. "You dare stand between the Ultra Beasts boy! now you get to become their new host" A howl was heard as a Black and Green Canine pokemon appeared and used Dragon pulse on the Nihilego that had ash. Nihilego dropped Ash as he fell down to the ground. a blue and White dragon like pokemon caught him. A red and white dragon placed Ash on the ground. Lillie ran over and checked on him. She looked at the pokemon that saved them.

"Zygarde!"said a shocked Lillie,

"Go back to your world Beasts!" spoke zygarde before he unleashed Land's Wrath on Serndask, his followers, and their pokemon. All of them wass hit by the Land's Wrath attack. . Latios and Latias fired their moves Luster Purge and Mist ball at the Nihilego. Nihilego started to retreat a bit. A black Rayquaza flew in glowing green and hits the Nihilego. The Dragon roared as the Nihilego retreated back to the Sea of Ruins, Latias used Heal Bell on Ash. He wakes up and groans. "Thank goodness you alright" Lillie said hugging him.

"What happened" asked Ash before he noticed Latias, Latios and Rayquaza floating near them. "Wow you three saved us. How have you been"

Rayquaza let out a soft roar before looking at Team Eclispe who was starting to recover from the lands wrath.

"Ash, don't you remember me" spoke Latios. Ash looked at Latios before he suddenly remembered. "L-Latios your alive? but how are you here and not in the Soul Dew?"

"Xerneas brought him back to life" Latias spoke happy to have her brother back. The two dragons nuzzled Ash and Pikachu which made them laugh. Lillie asked him "Do you know these two Ash?"

"Your questions will be answered Later," spoke Zygarde in his core form. Lillie noticed it was the same one that saved her the other day during the fire. "We need to get you two away before that man can summon more Ultra beasts"

"Hop on" said Latios as he used Psychic to lift the two on his back. Greninja and Pikachu was on Latias. Ash looked at Type;Null, "We cant leave that pokemon here"

"Not to worry" spoke Rayquaza as he picked up Type: Null and had it on his back. Zygarde hopped onto Latios head as the three took off away from Team Eclispe. Serndask has recovered and watch the three legendaries fly away. "I will have my revenge Aether!" shouted Serndask before he walked away.

"My lord, what shall we do about them?" asked A grunt

"Nothing, Lillie is weak and will never rise up because of her fear, For now we will gather powerful pokemon and recruits to build my army before i summon UB-10 King." said Serndask "Alola and the world will bow down to Team Eclispe."

The Dragons flew back to the Center. Kukui and the others was outside wondering what that roar was until the Dragons landed. Latios used psychic to lift Null off Rayquaza and Ash Quickly got of Latios. "There you two are, who are they?' Kukui asked about the three pokemon before them.

'Sorry professor ill explain later but right now we need to get this pokemon to Nurse joy." Ash said to his teacher. Type;Null woke up and began swinging its head annoyed at its helmet. Ash placed his hand on the pokemons head trying to calm it down. "Easy, its alright, no one is going to hurt you" Ash said soothing the strange pokemon. Lillie moved over to help him. she had a couple bottles of potion out. Type; Null kept on moving itself as Ash held on to the it. "It's alright, were going to help you."

"Pika,Pikachu' said Pikachu hopping on its back. Type null with its grey eyes looked at Ash and saw nothing but truth and kindness in his eyes. Null stopped moving as Lillie and nurse Joy moved closer, they started to spray the pokemon with potion while Ash held it from moving. "There we are all done" said Nurse Joy. Mallow and Kiawe moved a bit closer until Null moved ready to strike. "Easy Null they are friends." said Ash remembering what Serndask called it. Null nodded before it layed down next to Ash and Lillie. Sycamore and Olivia came out and noticed the newcomers. "By arceus, Rayquaza, Latios and Latias, where did they come from?" Sycamore asked.

"Alright what happened you guys?" asked Hau.

"This man named Serndask came out of nowhere and summoned Ultra Beasts" said Ash which made Kukui gasped. "You two saw an Ultra Beast?"

"Not one but three of them" said Ash.

Lillie nodded shivering as she finally remembered what had happened to her. Lillie remembered a Nihilego grabbed her and held her against her will. She started to shake uncontrollably like she did when a pokemon got to close to her. Snowy noticed her trainer shaking and nuzzled against her leg. Zygarde noticed her too. "Oh Arceus you poor child"

"What do you mean Zygarde?" asked Ash looking at the Zygarde Core. Sycamore and the others looked at the core. "Zygarde hello, my name is Kahuna Olivia and i thank you for saving my home." Olivia bowed to Z3

"No problem at all Kahuna, I was just doing my job." said Z3. "Now to answer your question, your friend here has been exposed to the Ultra Beasts before. No doubt it made her afraid to interact with other pokemon."

"Is this true Lillie?' Mallow asked her sitting down beside her. Lillie nodded her head. "I really dont know all that happened, all i know is that i was grabbed by the ultra beast when i was still living with my mother and since then i was afriad to touch pokemon." she said

"But where did it happened?" asked Lana

"I don't know" Lillie said.

"No need to worry, everything will be fine" said Dawn.

"That Serndask guy has me very worried" Ash said. He told them about Team Eclispe and their goal to take away the light of Alola. "These guys sound alot worse than Team Skull. I better let the other Kahuna's know about them." said Olivia before she went inside the center. Ash told the gang about meeting Latias,Latios in Alto Mare but two team rocket villains used the Soul Dew and Almost doomed the city until Latios became one with the Soul Dew. He also told them about Rayquaza helped him get a pokemon named Hoopa away from its dark half.

"Now to answer your previous question Ash, Arceus sent us to join you and keep you two safe from the Ultra Beasts" said Latios before ash knew it. Three pokeballs appeared and landed in his hands.

"Really?" Ash asked looking at the three pokeballs,

"Yep!," said Latias looking at Nebby and Starcloud. "Cosmogs are just so cute! this is the first time ive ever seen one."

"Cosmog?" asked Sophocles,

"Nebby and Starcloud are called Cosmogs, a Psychic Type, They dont know much moves exept for Teleport and Cosmic Power." said Latios. Nebby laughed a bit as Starcloud crawled around using his two arms. "Now the other pokemon that's near ash is one i don't know about."

"Serndask called it Type;Null." said Ash looking at Type; Null. "That's alot of wording for a pokemon name, Would you like a Nickname?"

"Null?" asked Null tilting its head confused.

"Hey Lillie, what a good nickname for Type Null" Ash asked her,

"You want me to nickname him?' asked Lillie blushing red. Null growled a bit until the gang realized that it was a girl. "Sorry Nina."

"Nina huh, what about that name?" Ash asked Type Null/Nina liked the named before she layed back down. Ash pulled out a Luxury Ball and tapped it on her head. Nina didn't resist being caight by him. Ash released Nina out. The gang noticed it was getting darker as the sun finally was gone and Dusk covered the world.. Everyone went inside and to their rooms. That night Ash woke up to Snowy in their room. "What's wrong snowy?" Ash asked quietly not to disturb the others. Snowy quickly went to the door and Ash got out of bed. He noticed that Kukui was up as the girls was. "Whats wrong?' He asked them.

"Its Lillie, she's having a Nightmare" said Mallow.

"she's been muttering in her sleep and wont stop thrashing" said Dawn. Ash went in the room Ash peaked into the room and saw that Z3 was overlooking her. Lillie was covered in sweat and she was mmoving her head back and forward. "Please dont hurt my nebby or Snowy" Lillie said in her sleep before she screamed "no not that!"

Ash went over to Lillie and shook her shoulders. "Lillie wake up, Your having a bad dream" he said. Lillie shot up with alot of tears in her eyes. Her hair was messy as she launched a Bone crushing hug at him. Ash rubbed her back as she cried. "Shh, shh its alright, everythings gonna be okay."

Nobody said a word as they listen to Lillie cry in Ash's arms for several minutes. Lillie looked at him as he used his thumb to wipe away her tears. "T-Thank you Ash" she mutters before placing her head on his shoulder. Nurse Joy came back with a bottle of medicine and a glass of water. "Here this should help with your PTSD." said Joy placing the items down on the table.

"PTSD?" asked Dawn looking at nurse joy.

".Post-Tramatic-Stress-Disorder. After seeing the one who made her afraid of pokemon has made her go though a panic attack ." said Kukui. Ash picked up the bottle and opened it up for her. He handed Lillie a pil and the glass of water. She took the pil and drank the cup. "There we go," said Ash as he stood up ready to walk out until Lillie grabbed his hand. "P-Please don't leave me" she stutters a bit. Ash looked at her before he looked at his teacher. "It's alright Ash i trust you, you sleep in here with the girls for the night, just in case she has another Nightmare" said Kukui. Lillie scooted over in the bed as She patted the spot. Ash got into her bed and allowed her to get comferble. her head rested on his chest. Greninja and his pokemon got compfy next to the girls pokemon. Mallow and the girls soon came back to their beds and waited for Lillie to fall asleep. She was out within a minute. Ash sooned followed along with the girls. Kukui smiled before he exited the room and closed the door. Sycamore and Olivia was near the door. "I told Hala, Namu and Hapu to keep an eye out for any suspicious characters on their island." said Olivia.

"Good, the sooner we can catch this Serndask, the better before he or this Team Eclispe start to do damage that may affect the Alola Region." said Kukui before he turned in for the night. Olivia and Sycamore followed suit as well.
