Author's Note: Screw it, the Friday (a chapter every Friday) just won't work. I'll be going in a rotation. So this may make my chapters longer (so I don't rush) and better quality (because I won't get bored of a story). If you don't know, I have a new story I posted. So now with three stories, this does take me some time. This chapter is from Lillie's perspective.


Chapter 7: At the Library

I was heavy reader. Even when I went to Kanto, I always read books about the region. I had become a regular at the library. But, I had never seen Hau there before. Especially when it's this early out.

"Hey Hau! What are you doing here?" I said.

"Lillie, howzit? Aren't all stories written in books?" Hau asked.

"Well, a good amount yes." I replied.

"But your story isn't here!" Hau said.

"Um... Hau. That's because it's my story and I haven't written it. And I don't plan on it either." I told Hau.

"... Oh." Hau said with realization coming to his face. "Please, tell me more! I won't ask again in a while, I promise!"

"O-Okay... I guess."

I sat down in a chair while Hau sat down on the floor looking up at me like a child would a teacher. "Ah... so where was I last time..."

-FLASHBACK-

"Thanks again professor Oak!" I said after he had given me Pichu. My mom would already be at Bill's house at this point. I decided that that is where I would head. My first goal. Along the way, I would catch all the Pokemon I would see! Or that's what I thought anyway. As I entered route 1, there weren't many Pokemon around. I ran into one right before I left the route. It was a Pidgey!

"Go Pichu!" I yelled as I threw out my pokeball. It was our first battle! I looked up it's moves in the pokedex. "Use charm!" The Pidgey attacked but it looked like it was holding back. It had a loving stare positioned at Pichu. "Pichu! Are you alright? Use Thundershock!" A bolt of lightning hit the Pidgey and it was paralyzed. It couldn't move and so I took a pokeball from my bag. It was from Alola but I assumed they worked the same and they did. I threw it at the Pidgey and it bobbed twice. It somehow escaped! It flew away before I had another chance. "Aw... and I was that close."

"Good try!" Someone from the trees said.

"AH!" I screamed, startled.

"Oh, sorry... hey, my name's Ethan... but some people call me Gold. And what's your name?" Ethan asked.

"My name's Lillie!" I said. He looked a couple years older than me and much more experienced.

"So... what's your story?" He asked.

"I'm from Alola! My mother has fallen ill and so we came to Kanto so she could be treated by Bill. What about you? You seem to be good at this." I said.

"I'm from another region as well actually! From humble beginnings in New Bark Town, Johto, I'm the champion of the Johto/Kanto League!" Ethan said. My jaw dropped.

"Y-Your the champion! Wow! W-What are you doing here!" I managed to say.

"Well, I may be champion, but I still have a long way to go. Word has it it's tougher the second time round. So I'm traveling Kanto now! I've beaten most the gyms at this point but, there's supposed to be an amazing trainer atop Mt. Silver. One of the best trainers to ever live. He was champion too. So, you planning on challenging the gyms?"

"What me? No, I couldn't."

"How come?"

I realized I didn't have a reason not to... and in fact I wanted to. "Actually, I'd love to! Yes, that's what I'll do! Thanks!"

"Can I come with? I didn't really travel much with trainers in Johto." He asked.

"That'd be great!" I said surprised.

That was the first friend I met in Kanto! I miss him actually. We keep in touch still. He said that he didn't mind going around Kanto again with me. He only had two gyms he needed which would be the exact opposite of the way we went. We entered Viridian forest and about half way through I got tired.

"We can take a break. I'm tired too. Plus, you might find some Pokemon." Ethan said.

"Here? In the middle of the forest!" I said weakly.

"It's fun camping out. It's getting late anyways. I've got a sleeping bag in my bag, do you have one?" He asked.

"No... I only brought repels and a couple Pokeballs." I replied.

"That's fine, I don't need one. You can use mine." he offered.

"What? You sure?" I asked.

"Yep!" He gave me the bag. I unrolled it and saw a Pokemon design on it.

"What's this Pokemon?" I asked.

"That's my first one ever. He's a Totodile... or was I should say. You can meet him in the morning. He doesn't like being disturbed when he's sleeping. The first one is always special... is that Pichu your first?"

"No actually... I had a Cosmog. I called it Nebby and we traveled through Alola. The adventures I had with Nebby and Sun were amazing. I decided Nebby would be better with Sun..."

"Tough, I couldn't imagine being in shoes. It takes a lot of courage to do something like that you know. So who's Sun?"

I told him about all our adventures in Alola. By the time I was done, we were both sleepy. He laid down in the grass and shut his eyes and I jumped into the sleeping bag.

"See you in the morning." Ethan said.

I replied with, "Night."

-FLASHBACK ENDS-

"Hau, is that enough? My voice is tired." I asked.

"Well... I have even more questions! Just who is this 'Gold,' and why did he help you out? What's this Red about? And how come you never talk about him?" Hau questioned.

"Hau, why not take a break... for a coupe of days." I suggested.

"From the story? Aw, man! I'll be back in a couple days! Just don't forget your story!" Hau said running off. Just a second later he came back. "Lillie... I thought Team Skull was disbanded..."


Please leave your suggestions through PMs or in reviews, I'll take 'em seriously. This was a fun chapter to make. If your wondering why Gold has a Totodile or why he's even in the story, it's because I always choose the water type ;). Also, before Sun and Moon, HeartGold and SoulSilver were my first Pokemon games... and maybe still are my favorite! Sun and Moon is close though. Anyways, see you next chapter!
