Sorry it took so long, I had to deal with the SAT before Summer started. I also had to deal with a couple of projects. About the previous AN, I'm no doctor or psychologist, but I don't think my depression was anything, but major because for one, the depression might have been one of the symptoms caused by caffeine withdrawal(Yeah, I drink a lot of tea everyday. I took a break from it for one day and look at what happened). Thankfully my caffeine withdrawal did not last long; Even so, depression hindered with the progression of my stories since the symptoms of depression along with caffeine withdrawal also included insomnia, sleepiness, and lack of concentration which made me lazy after I got over it. Well now all of that is in the past, so lets get on with the story.

Now I said that this would be the last chapter, but I believe you guys have waited long enough and I don't want you to wait even longer since I'm currently looking for a summer job. I don't know how many chapters will be left, but we're definitely nearing the end before I continue onto the full adventure story. So I decided to split the Date chapter into parts.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In canon, the TRio were given a promotion at the end of the Diamond and Pearl series. Well in this story, they did not, so they still have the Pokemon that they have in Sinnoh and yes, we will be seeing them.

Enjoy


Mallow had a raised eyebrow while she was witnessing Ash's phone call with Lillie. From her point of view, she was quite confused, wondering what her two friends were talking about. One she was sure of was that Lillie's mother is also in the conversation.

She was startled when Ash yelled, "WHAT!"

The green haired chef laughed at Ash's embarrassed face. She does not know what is going on, but she just relax and enjoy the show.

Phone Call Conversation

"[I'm so sorry, Ash! I really wanted no one else to find out, but I couldn't keep things from my mother. I don't want to lie to her!]"

Not that it matter, but the little to no trace of anger, that the raven haired teen had, has disappeared. In truth, he was a little upset now that word about his relationship with Lillie will soon be known around the Alola region if this keeps out.

The raven haired teen took a deep breath and sighs. "[It's okay, Lillie. I understand. At least you have a good reason.]"

"[So...uh, what did you call for, Ash?]"

"[You forgot to tell me where we're having our date.]"

"[Oh! I'm sorry, Ash. I-]"

"[Stop. I don't want to hear that from you. It was an honest mistake.]" Ash cut her off, not wanting to heat her sad voice.

"[Patient with you]" Lusamine's words echoed into Lillie's head, which made her frown a bit. She took a deep breath to calm her nerves.

"[Right,]" She said, "[Well, I thought we could go to Melemele Meadow.]"

"[Melemele Meadow? Never been there before.]" Ash admits.

"[It's a really beautiful there.]" Lillie informs him with a small smile as a part of her childhood flashed in her mind. "[I haven't been there in a while, actually. Since we're going on a picnic, I thought we should go somewhere where it's filled with flowers.]"

"[Sounds great.]" Ash said with sincere in his voice. "[So tomorrow, do I come pick you up and we go walk there?]"

"[It's pretty far, Ash.]" She informed him, "[My chauffeur and I will come and pick you up and Alfred will drop us off at Melemele Meadow. Oh! About the time, can go around at noon?]"

"[Sure, I have no problem with that.]" Ash said before going to a different subject. "[So...uh...Lillie, are you excited about tomorrow?]"

"[Well...to be honest, I'm a little nervous.]" Lillie admitted timidly. She has a smile on, though, indicating she is looking forward to it.

"[Don't be.]" Ash assures her. "[Don't worry, Lillie. I'll make sure your first date will be awesome.]"

Lillie giggled, "[It's also your first date.]"

"[Heh~]" He chuckled, "[True...but I'll still make it worth your while.]"

Lillie blush by how Ash said that, but she knew he did not mean it that way. She giggled a little more, "[Well goodnight, Ash.]"

"[You too. ]"

End of Phone Call

After Ash hanged up, he saw Mallow pulled out a couple of glass bottles of Moomoo milk from the fridge and she places them inside the picnic basket. He gives her a confused look.

"Lillie's favorite drink." Mallow informed him.

Ash called out for his sentient Pokédex, who was playing with Pikachu and Bounsweet the whole time in the dining area.

"You called, bzzt?"

"How much does two bottles of Moomoo milk cost?" Ash asked.

Hearing that its owner is about to make a purchase, the Rotomdex pulled up Ash's bank account.

Mallow held up a hand, "Forget it. It's on the house."

Ash was about to argue, but he had a feeling she will argue back. He look at the time and notices it is getting quite late. He should probably get going before it gets too dark. He gathered the picnic basket before he proceeded to leave the establishment.

Before he left, Mallow gave him a couple more advice.

"If you're thinking of giving Lillie flowers, I suggest buying Pikake, her favorite flower." She said before a sly grin appeared on her face. "I also suggest you take an extra-long shower."

Glare. Although, he really can not blame him. He usually take a quick shower everyday so he would not be late for class.

"You're a real comedian, Mallow." Ash said sarcastically. He put on a smile, but the glare stayed. "Thanks for the help."

"No problem." She replied as she returned the smile. She then gave him a hug. "Night, Ash."

Ash wrapped his free hand around her. "Night, Mallow."


An Hour of Reading(With Lillie)

Lillie sighed as she lied down her on her bed. She spread out and stretch her limbs with her face deep red. Normally studying was never arduous for the Alolan native, but she never bothered to read about anything...so intimate with it comes to her love life.

After resting for a good twenty minutes, she sat up from her bed with a determined glare on her face. Her date is tomorrow, she should prepare the clothes she will wear. Luckily for her, being born in a rich family has its perks. Whenever she has the time, she enjoyed shopping with her female friends, i.e Lana and Mallow. She would come home along with her chauffeur who would hold all of her bags filled with a wide assortment of clothes, all of which were then stored at her walk-in-closet.

She had her maid, Maria, to come with her to her closet, so she can get a second opinion from a fellow female. "Since you're going to a picnic, Miss Lillie, I suggest you should wear...something rather simple." Maria advised as she look through all the clothes, thinking which will be best for her mistress' date.

Lillie frowned a little when she look around her closet. She never knew she had this much clothes. This may take a while, although it only took ten minutes for Lillie to set her eyes on something. Her maid also thought it was perfect.


Meanwhile with Ash, the youthful teen immediately went up to his room after putting the picnic basket in the fridge to keep the food fresh. Usually on a Friday, the raven haired teen would stay up late and then sleep most of the day on the weekends, but tomorrow is rather important and he does not want to mess it up by being late because he overslept.

He was about to lie down on the make-shift bed, which is actually a couch, but he suddenly stop when he remembered something.

Going back down the ladder, he went to Kukui's video phone and dialed in his mother's number. While he waited for his mother to pick up, he mentally berated himself for forgetting. Ever since his first day in Alola, he made it a daily routine to call his mother since he is currently not on the road traveling. He may have never admitted it, but staying in one place is a great change of pace for him. While on the road, he sometimes worry for his mom, worried that she was feeling lonely. Sure he knows Mr. Mime and Prof. Oak are keeping her company, but he can not help, but worry for her well-being.

Due to the events of yesterday, he completely forgot to call Delia.

When he did get the opportunity to call her while on the read, the phone chat between the mother and son were always quite embarrassing for the latter. There were times she asked him if he changed his underwear regularly, did he met any cute girls, and there were even times she asked if he finally got a girlfriend. Fortunately for him, all of his friends have the decency to be away when he has those calls and Delia only asks embarrassing questions when it is just him, well except if that question regarding his change of underwear which she has no problem asking in front of his friends.

Now in Alola, their calls now involved the mother praising her son for doing well in school. Kukui told her himself that Ash has been doing great at school which was music to Delia's ears. Ash really love his talks with his mother since he always gets motivated by Delia into studying harder.

Finally she picked up. From the nightgown she is currently wearing, she might have been asleep before he called.

Ash gave her a smile, "Hey, mom. Hope I didn't wake you up."

"It's fine, honey. I just got changed." She assures him with her own smile. "I didn't hear anything from you yesterday. Did something happen?"

Her son nervously scratch the back of his head as he answered her question.

"I...I guess you can say that." He replied with a slight blush on his face.

Delia had a look of confusion at first when suddenly an idea clicked into her head. She raised an eyebrow with a sly smirk on her face.

"Oh? Tis 'something' wouldn't happen to be a 'she'?"

Caught red handed.

"Yeah..." Ash trailed for a second. "And her name is Lillie."

"The quiet and smartest girl in your class that you told me about?" Delia recounted. She giggled a little before saying, "Well I hope you treat her nicely."

"Don't worry, mom. I will."


The Next Day

The next morning, both Ash and Lille had to break their daily routine on a Saturday. They both woke up early at 6:00 am in the morning, which is really early considering it is a weekend and barely a handful of people are awake in the small island of Melemele; commonly, Ash would wake up at around 10 while Lillie wakes about a hour earlier than that. Both went to take a shower soon after getting out of bed. Although, usually Ash would go outside and jog to get the blood circulating and Lillie would pull out a random thick book from her bookshelf and read the whole thing to wake up her mind before she starts her day. Today, they both immediately got up to take a morning shower.

For Ash's daily routine on a Saturday would always involved taking a quick shower after his jog, eat breakfast, and train the whole day while doing some studies. He would sometimes do some errands for his guardians which is usually getting groceries. Today though, Ash took an extra long shower, making himself presentable for today. He is evening planning not to do any training or any physical exercise.

For Lillie, she would just stay in her house since her female friends are usually busy in the weekends and are doing their own things. She just study the whole day. Today is different; she is pampering herself to prepare for one of the most important events in a girl's life: Their first date.


With Ash

For Kukui, he found it bit odd that he heard the shower running so early in the morning, especially at this day of the week. He did his best to stay in bed, but it seems the running water woke up the Pokémon occupants in the house. Grumbling, he got out of bed due to the playing Pokémon who were also begging for some breakfast. He immediately started his coffee maker before filling up the Pokemon food bowls. Regular Pokemon kibble for Pikachu and Rockruff and a bowl of fruits for Rowlet.

"Ash, what were you doing in the bathroom for so long?" Kukui asked the young teen once the said teen came to the kitchen along with his living Pokedex.

The teacher took a moment to take in Ash's relaxed hair{Imagine his hair is styled like how deviantart artist Kisarasmoon draws him, but a bit more strands poking out downward like spikes}. He also noticed that Ash is not in his usual attire.

Kukui gave a hearty laugh. "Okay, who are you and what have you done to Ash."

The Ash Ketchum that he got know about for the past month was someone who sleeps in, and does a lot of exercise and Pokémon training on a daily basis. The Ash he knows would never style his messy hair and take so long in the bathroom to smell this good. If this keeps up, the next thing he will know, Ash would be wearing a fancy suit right now, but he's not.

Right now Ash is wearing a dark grey t-shirt that is underneath a short-sleeved, unopened zip-up hoodie, which is in the same colors and pattern as his regular shirt, but the short sleeves are completely blue. To go well with his hoodie, he is wearing a pair of cargo shorts that is in dark grey that matches his sneakers.

Ash chuckled a bit, "Right, you don't now. It's sort of a long story, but here's the shorter version: I have a date."

Once he was informed, Kukui quickly ruffled up Ash's relaxed hair, turning it back to its natural unruly form. Ash was surprised by his actions and in reflex, he jerked back away from him.

"Hey!" Ash yelled, "It took me a while to get my hair that way!"

Unknown to most people, his hair is actually looks that way naturally. He may look like he has bed head, but it has been that may ever since he grew a full head of hair. There were times he had styled his hair, but it takes a really long time. His hair is stubborn as he is.

"I'm no fashion expert, but I suggest you should go with your natural look." His teacher advised him. "Believe me, you hair being combed back does not suite you. Now, I don't mean to be rude or anything, but for Arcues' sakes please put a hat on. Honestly, it feels like I'm talking to someone else."

"That's what I tried telling him, bzzt!" The Rotomdex yelled. "He really looks like a different person without a hat on!"

Ash grumbled at the two. Can't he try on a new look without getting criticized; honestly, it feels like those times when he gets lectured by May and Dawn on fashion. Although, he can't blame them, wearing a hat practically became his natural feature.

He went up to his room and when he came back, he now wears a black version of his Alolan hat with the symbol blue.

Kukui has to admit, the black hat really brings out his chocolate-brown eyes.

"So," Kukui said as he slung an arm around Ash's neck and pull him closer, eager to know. "Who's the lucky lady?"

Ash got out of his arm, "You know her." Was all he said before going into the kitchen to get some food.

"What? Too embarrassed to tell me something a little deeper than that?" Kukui said with a sly grin as he followed him.

"No..." Well a little. "I'm just worried rumors might start if I told you."

Kukui was offended that Ash would think that, but he understood the joy of having privacy. He let that one go. The teacher went back to drinking his coffee and reading the newspaper.

The raven haired teen decided to eat light, so he went with a large bowl of cereal, eight slices of toast, and a large bowl of fruits. Yes people, that is considered a light breakfast for Ash Ketchum.


With Lillie

As the saying goes, 'Like mother, like daughter' and Lillie most definitely resembles her mother for as far back as she was still a little girl. Other than the colors of their eyes and hair, the one thing that links Lillie as Lusamine's daughter are their gargantuan mass of hair. Like her mother, Lillie takes great pride in her hair. Every morning in a school day, she would brush her large mass of hair so every single strand are in place and none are sticking when looked at closely.

Although she might not have much muscle, she wont quit until her hair is completely fixed even if it felt like her arms felt like they are about fell out of their sockets.

She set her hair brush down. She then proceeded to braid her hair, which she was so careful on doing so each side of her hair will look close to perfect symmetry. She took a deep breath and smiled as she was done with the arduous chore of making herself look perfect, especially for today.

"There."

She then stood in front of a full length mirror to see herself from top to bottom. In her signature colors, bright white and light blue, she wore a romper, that has a floral pattern, and a pair of white Mary Jane shoes that were customized to have her family symbol at the toes.

Lillie put on a smile, "Perfect."

Wait a minute, she thought. Something was missing. Turning her head to her desk, she saw her large sun hat. Lille giggled at herself for forgetting.

Coming back from her desk, now with her sunhat hat where it is suppose to be, everything was now perfect.


With Ash

After breakfast was finished, Ash decided to follow Mallow's advice; so he went out to get Lillie a bouquet of flowers. If his memory is any good, pikake are the names of the flowers that Lillie is fond of. He was about to leave through the front door with Pikachu jumping up onto his usual spot, Ash's shoulder.

Ash looks at his long time partner as a thought came to mind.

He and Lillie are going on a date; that is obvious, but can he bring his Pikachu with him? He can leave his Rotomdex behind, but should he leave his starter behind. After thinking about it, he probably should due to Lillie's fear. Sure he can take Pikachu with them and have him be somewhere else that was close around the area, but he is kind of worried that Team Rocket might be around and he would not be around to save his starter and Ash did not want their date to be interrupted. And he can't keep Pikachu inside his Pokeball.

Since Team Rocket is targeting Pikachu directly, he probably should leave him behind with Kukui-sensei. That is probably for the best.

He should at least bring one of his Pokemon with him in case any wild Pokemon or any sort of trouble comes along. The only other Pokemon he has with him is Rowlet, who can patiently stay inside his Pokeball, but he is sort of a bad choice during the day due to the owl Pokemon's nocturnal nature and is also inexperienced in the way of battling.

"Hmmmm, maybe I should call Prof. Oak and ask for one of my Pokémon. Yeah, maybe I should. I haven't seen any of my other Pokemon since the Sinnoh League."

After he was eliminated from the Sinnoh League, some of his Pokemon were sadden in more ways than one. Ash has promised all of his Pokemon, save for his Sinnog team, to use them in all of his battle at least once, but he could not fulfill that promise after he was defeated by Tobias.

Looks like he can finally live up to that promise.


After coming back from the nearest flower shop.

"You want me to look after Pikachu?" Asked Kukui.

"Yeah. I'm sort of afraid that Team Rocket might interrupt my date if they see me with Pikachu."

"Hmmm" The teacher hummed. "I see. You have a point there, but that would only leave you with Rowlet and you haven't trained him much. Even if Pikachu is not with you, there's still a possibility that those bozos will still follow you."

Only after meeting them for the first time, the Alolan professors also see the trio to be incompetent people. Despite their useless attributes, the Pokémon that they currently have in their possession are a Carnivine, a Mimikyu, a Seviper, a Wobbuffet, and a Yanmega (and Meowth, depending if you can count him). Other than their strength in numbers, Rowlet will be at a disadvantage with bug, flying, and poison and the fact that Rowlet only knows two basic moves.

Ash smiled, "Already got that covered. I just to need a few minutes with your Pokémon Transporter."

Kukui was surprised at the idea, but put on a big smirk. "Sure, go right ahead."

While Ash made the call to Prof. Oak's laboratory, Kukui brought up a question, "I heard from Prof. Oak that you have quite the collection of Pokémon. So how come you haven't brought any of your old Pokémon to Alola? That question has been bugging me and it's not like you're on the road so it wouldn't hurt to have any of them here."

"Well for one, I can only carry six Pokémon." Ash started to explain his reasons. "If I haven't caught Rowlet, I would have five of my old buddies with me along with Pikachu. I don't want any of my Pokémon to feel left out and it'll be quite the hassle to keep switching my Pokémon around. Also, even if Prof. Oak gives you permission to be my sponsor while my stay here, you don't much room for all of my Pokémon."

If only he did not accidentally capture thirty Tauros, then maybe Kukui would have plenty of space. Ash is not the kind to release without a good reason. Without one, that will be just abandonment.

Kukui nodded at his explanation, understanding the reasons.

Finally Prof. Oak's face appeared on screen. "Why hello Ash. How are your studies in Alola doing?"

Ash smiled, "Hey Professor. I'm doing fine with school, but that's not why I'm calling you for."

"Oh? And what would that be?"

Ash decided to hold the truth for now, "Well something came up and I'll be needing a couple of my Pokémon."

The old Professor's eyes widen. "Well this is a surprise. What for exactly?"

The young trainer decided it was best to keep his date a secret from Prof. Oak for now. Besides, his mother might inform him of Lillie soon.

"I'm sort of in a hurry, professor."

The old Oak chuckled, "Oh, alright. Anyone in particular you want me to send?"

That is a good question.

One from his Sinnoh team? Nah, they are probably still enjoying their time off ever since the last league he participated in. Although, maybe Buizel. The Sea Weasel Pokemon is his one of his most combat ready Pokemon, who is up for any battle. Now that he was reflecting back in the past, it felt like that he did not really give Buizel much attention compared to his other Pokemon. Sure he helped it learn Ice Punch, but that training was short compared to his training with Gible, who had troubling mastering a very powerful move. He also had to divert his attention to Torterra, who had to learn a whole new battling style since evolution hindered it a lot more than good. The Sea Weasel is a definite yes.

How about one of his Hoenn Pokemon? Perhaps Glalie, who was just a Snorunt when he first met it and was also the last Pokemon he caught in Hoenn. It has a playful personality, but can be a powerhouse when it is serious. He also promised Glalie to have a battle in the Sinnoh League, but there were some changes, so it never got the chance to participate. Glalie is a maybe due to its personality and the fact hat an Ice type might not do well in a region that is famous for its scorching sun. Ash could use him as a back up though.

He was about to think over his Pokemon from Jhoto and Kanto when he noticed the time and since it will take some time for Prof. Oak to get the Pokemon he wanted, he settled on the two.

"Buizel and Glalie sounds good."

The aged Pokemon professor nodded at the young trainer before leaving the screen and telling Ash that he'll be back quick. Fortunately for the old Oak, both Buizel and Glalie were obedient enough to come at the sound of his voice. Buizel is a naturally born warrior and training under Ash has made him even stronger when it was still wild, even more when it was still with Dawn; obviously, it is not the kind of Pokemon who slack off a lot, living in Prof. Oak corral has made it long to be back with its trainer. For Glalie, it really misses its trainer and freezing him like the old days and, of course, wanted to battle under him again.

"Here they are, Ash." Prof. Oak said as he showed them inside their respective Pokeballs. He places them in the transporter one by one as they were sent to Alola through teleportation.

"Thanks, professor."

"By the way, Ash. You will be in for a surprise."

The raven haired teen raises an eyebrow, "A surprise? What do you mean?"

The professor just chuckled, "You'll see."

And that was all he said before ending the call.


With Lillie

The blonde is now on her way to pick up her date. As usual, she is at the back seats of the limousine while her chauffeur drove her to her teacher's house. In her lap was the assigned Pokemon egg inside the incubation capsule.

Also, in her free hand was her cell phone. It was her mother calling, again. She grimace when she remembered what happened last yesterday. Her thumb reached for the decline, but hesitated and instead accepted the call.

Phone Call Conversation

"[Hello? Mother?]" Her voice was hesitant, nervous about this phone call will lead to.

"[Hello, Lillie. I'm calling about Ash.]" And that what was she worried about.

"[Mother, can we please not have a repeat of what happened last night?]" The young blonde prayed.

Lillie heard chuckling at the other end, "[Relax, sweetie. I just want you to pass down a message.]"

The daughter sigh in relief as she exhaled the breathe that she has been holding since from the start of the call.

"[Thank you-Uh! I mean, what is it?]"

"[Tell him that I would like to meet up with him in about two weeks.]"

"[Okay, alright. Will you two be meeting some where in Melemele Island?]"

"[No, actually. I would like to meet him here.]"

"[Here?]" What does her mother mean by 'here'?

"[Yes. Here,]" Lusamine repeated, "[I would like to meet him here in the Aether Foundation.]"

"[What!?]" An outsider, who is not a worker for her mother in anyway, is being invited to the Aether Foundation? "[Really? But I thought-!?]"

"[I'll be sending someone to come and pick him up. Until then, goodbye sweetie and enjoy your date!]"

End of Phone Call


When Ash saw the familiar limousine pull over in front of the house, he checked himself one last time before neatly standing up straight to make himself look presentable. He took a couple of deep breathes to control his rapidly beating heart.

Kukui almost died from drowning on his third cup of coffee when he saw the vehicle parked in front of his house. He, too, is familiar with the limousine. There is only person he knows who rides that particular vehicles and that's...

"LILLIE!?" It was a good thing that he was inside his house or else it would have been awkward for him being in the middle.

"Calm down, professor or else you will burn yourself." The Rotoemdex advised. It was told to also stay behind with Pikachu.

"Pika."

From her usual seat inside her limo, the blonde bookworm was pretty sure that she was about to die. Not due to heatstroke because from the surrounding heat(the limo has air condition), but due to the every ounce of her blood rushing to her face, lighting up her face like a Christmas tree. No doubt her sunhat will not provide sufficient shade to hide her blushing face. Ash really cleans up well.

She shakes her head and put on a determined glare. No, she not give up so soon. Her chauffeur was about to open her door for her, but she got out the limo herself.

It was a good thing that Ash kept a good grip on the bouquet of pikake, but his jaw dropped though. The romper, that Lillie is currently wearing, is showing a little too much skin for Ash's eyes, especially around the leg area, which is where he could not resist not looking at. She really has some slender l-

"Okay! That's enough you!" Ash mentally screamed at his perverted side.

"Ash?"

The said teen opens his eyes and blushes when he now noticed that his date is directly in front of him.

"L-Lillie!" He stuttered, which Lillie did noticed since she was also nervous. Ash then brought up the flowers, "Uh...here! These are for you."

The blonde gasp at the sight of the beautiful bouquet of her favorite flowers. Her open gasped mouth soon formed a smile as she accepted the flowers.

"Th-Thank you, Ash."

The blonde took a couple of whiffs while Ash mentally did a fist pump. So far so good.


Meanwhile, inside the house, the occupants were enjoying the show.

"Did you get it, Rotom?"

"I did, professor." The living machine confirmed as it turned to show the picture it took. "Please give me your honest answer for I never gathered any data on humans before."

Kukui smirked at the digital image of Ash handing the bouquet to Lillie. He gives it a thumbs up and so did Pikachu. The teacher looked back outside to continue watching his dating students before they left his front yard.


Ash then notices the egg incubator inside the limo. Lillie noticed where his eyes were looking at.

"Oh! I hope you don't mind, but since I'm responsible for it, I need to bring the egg with me at all times."

The raven haired teen smiled. He understand completely since he did took care of two Pokémon ever since they were just eggs.

"Sure, as you long don't mind me bringing three of my Pokémon with me." He showed her the miniaturized Pokeballs that were clipped to the sides of his cargo shorts.

"Hm?" Lillie hummed when she noticed Pikachu is not present. According to her memories, Ash currently has only two Pokémon with him, Pikachu and Rowlet. The electric mouse would be out right now, but instead she noticed it peaking outside the window.

Kukui, Pikachu, and Rotom immediately got out of sight when they saw her looking at them. Lillie blushed when she realized that they were being spied on. She could not blame them, though.

She turned back to Ash, "Isn't Pikachu coming with you?"

"Nah, I thought it would be best that he doesn't come with us." He told her as he unclipped his Pokeballs that were on him. "Instead, I'm brining these guys. Come on out!"

In three flashes of red light came out an orange sea weasel, an icy glaring face, and a familiar looking grass owl.

"Bui!"

"Gla-lie."

"Kooh!"

"Gah!" Lillie immediately took cover behind Ash when all three appeared out of their Pokeball. Ash chuckled a little; even he has to admit that Lillie's cowering form is cute and funny.

The Face Pokémon was just about to float over toward its trainer just when Ash glared at it before it could come any closer. Glalie jerked back to where it was, it knows when its trainer is not playing around.

Ash lightened up when he noticed that his Pokémon calmed down. He looks back at Lillie, "Don't worry. These guys are friendly, just don't make Buizel mad."

"I would never make anyone mad!" Lillie protested from behind him with a frowning face. She then looks at the Pokémon in front of them, she recognizes the ice type, but the water one. "What's a Buizel?"

"I guess Buizels are not native here." Ash points out the obvious. "Lillie, Buizel here is a Pokémon that I got in trade with a friend from Sinnoh."

"Sinnoh?" She has heard of that region before. The bookworm wanted to voice out her questions, but she was too mesmerized by the foreign Pokémon. If there is one thing she likes learning about Pokémon is learning about foreign Pokémon.

"Guys, this Lillie." Ash introduced the girl, who was peaking from behind him. "Today, I need you two to be in your best behavior, so stay in your Pokeball unless I call you out. Understand?"

The two yelled out in their unknown language. To an inexperienced trainer, it was just gibberish, but to Ash, all he hears is agreement.

"Good. Return for now." He beamed them back into their respective tiny spheres. He turned back to Lillie. "So... should we go now?"

"Y-yes. I do believe th-that we should be heading off n-now."


As you can see, I gave the Rotomdex a feature, which is functioning like a debit card. If you read my other Pokémon story, I gave the Rotomdex have the function to access its owner's bank account, I thought I should do the same here for convenience purposes. I'm not sure this is a thing in the Anime world or fandom, but I'm making it a thing in this story, which is Pokédex functioning more than just encyclopedias.

What do you think of Ash's attire on his date. To be honest with you, I really do not like his canon SM attire, I prefer the ones in fanart. The canon shorts? I don't like the style of it. The hat? They could have at least kept it black and blue like Sun's (Whose clothes were transferred to Ash in the anime). I could say more, but that will take too much time. From this point on, Ash's attire (in this story) will be the one from his date. Lillie's attire will remain unchanged.

Please leave a review :)
