Sorry it took so long. I blame the summer heat and for not having an AC in the house.
Now, since I'm making this a series, I would like some ideas from the readers. To be honest, I'm don't like much of the episodes of Pokemon Sun and Moon, only a small list of it(as of right now) and I'm planning to replace some of them to fill in the gaps, so I would like to hear other people's ideas and(of course) they will be credited. (To be sure there won't be any spoilers, please PM me.)
I mentioned that I was going to have Ash capture a Pokémon while in his date with Lillie, but there were change in my plans. Besides, capturing non-canon Pokémon seem like events that should be saved for "Pokémon Golden Sun and Silver Moon" (The story that will take place after this one)
One last note: I was going to write more on this, but I decided you guys waited long enough (again).
Now, enjoy the chapter
After Lillie's brother and the Aether employees took care of the Team Rocket trio, Ash and Lillie finally made it to their destination. Well...not quite.
"This is as far as we can go on a car, Ash." Lillie told her date. "We have to go there by foot."
"I'm fine with that." Ash said as he opens his car door side. He got out holding the picnic basket with one hand.
Lillie went up to her chauffeur after she got out, "I'll call you when we're done."
The chauffeur nodded, "Very well, young mistress. Have a nice time with your boyfriend."
The bookworm madly blushes and she soon did not have the mental capacity to rebuff his statement. She may be on a date with Ash, but they have yet to make it official. Her chauffeur soon left the two alone in the middle of the woods.
Ash notice how stiff Lillie has gotten, so he tap on her shoulder which jolted her back to reality.
"Ah!" Lillie screamed before realizing what is going on, "Oh! Sorry about that Ash."
"It's alright. No harm done." He told her with a smile. "So, do you remember to your brother's spot?"
"Oh yes," She replied with a smile. "It should take us about thirty minutes to get there."
"Well then, what are we waiting for? Lets get going!"
Lillie smiled at his enthusiasm. She wondered if this is how Ash acts around her other friends. Not that she should know, she has been avoiding before all of this happened. She giggled at how all of this occurred.
First they met in the most unlikely circumstance, which is after Ash gets run over by three Tauros. Then they ended up having their first kiss on the lips due to one Tauros. After that, she started to avoid him while he tries to apologies for it, thinking it is his own fault.
Then the events that occurred when Ash came to her estate.
And now, here they are. On a date.
Thinking back on those magazines she read last night, Lillie took the initiatives; while balancing the Egg inside its incubator, Lillie grabs Ash's free hand. It was now the raven haired teen's turn to blush. He may have had physical contact with other females, like high fiving with Dawn, before in the past, but it was never personal as this.
"Right! Lets go!" Lillie yelled out as she started to drag her date.
"Wahhh!"
Ash had a difficulty holding on to their picnic basket due to the sudden pull. Luckily for him, Lillie suddenly came to a stop.
"Lillie? Something wrong?"
"I-I-I-I-I-I-I..." Lillie shivered.
The raven teen turned his focus to their surrounding. Just one good look and carefully hear their surroundings gave Ash the answer to Lillie's nervousness. It was quite obvious.
"Don't worry, Lillie." He assures her as he brought her close to him by pulling her hand. "I won't let any wild Pokémon get on our way. Just stay close to me and you'll be okay."
He really should chose his words carefully because she followed his words to heart by hooking her right arm around his left while also keeping a hold of the egg incubator. Now both of his arms were occupied and a wild Pokémon can appear from out a bush in any second while he has no Pokéball on hand. It would appear that she is mildly experiencing a panic attack as she hang onto Ash as if her life depends on it.
Because she is attached to him, he can easily feel her rapid heartbeat. She needs to calm down.
"Let's get going." Ash proposed.
Lillie said that their brother's spot is void of Pokémon, so the sooner they get there, the sooner Lillie will calm down. He just hope no Pokémon are around there at this time. According to Lillie, it has been years since she was there and a lot can change in a long period of time.
The long haired blonde nodded and softly said, "Okay."
"Sla-ah!"
"Gyah!"
Unfortunately for the two students of the Pokémon School, as if fate has a cruel sense of humor, the first wild Pokémon to come out of hiding from the bushes was a familiar Poison-Fire type. There is only one Pokémon, along with its possible evolution, to have that type combination and Ash and Lillie are very familiar with this threatening Pokémon.
Surprised, Lillie jumps back and also pulling Ash back with her. The pull did not bother Ash though because he is currently busy glaring at the little salamander. After seeing what this Pokémon tried to do to Lillie and the egg, a growing resentment was slowly growing inside of him. Due to his kind nature, the hate was almost forgotten, but seeing this one in front of them reignited the flame.
"Is this the same Salandit from before?" Ash asked out loud as he places the picnic basket down.
He really hope this is not the same one because if it is, this bully of a Pokémon is lucky that Ash did not bring one of his strongest Pokémon. His Buizel and Glalie may be strong, but even they can not stand a chance against Pikachu or his Infernape.
Lillie was too scared to answer his question as the Salandit pounced at them.
Fearing the little Pokémon will hurt her egg, Lillie let go of Ash and took refuge behind him. She wraps her arms around the incubator for extra protection. Meanwhile, Ash quickly pulls out and enlarged a Pokéball before throwing it. Because he had little time to react quickly enough, the Pokéball he pulled out was random.
"I choose you!"
Appearing from the small sphere was Ash's only Ice-type. The first thing Glalie saw was a Pokémon that the Ice-type has never seen before; the only thing the Ice-type knows about it that it is on the attack, reacting quickly it opens up his mouth and blows out an icy and windy attack.
Being part Fire-type, the little black salamander was not hurt much by the Icy Wind, but it was still blown back due to its small stature. The strong wind blew the wild Salandit to a tree, but that did not knock it out; it quickly got back to all fours and spat out an Ember attack.
Ash saw the little fireball coming, "Glalie! Use- huh?"
Before the trainer could finish the command, he noticed his Pokémon yell out as a blue light outlined his Pokémon.
"Glalie!" His Pokémon screams out.
Soon dark rain clouds formed right above the Face Pokémon and the Toxic Lizard Pokémon. The falling water rain douse out the weak fire attack easily in seconds before it could even reached its target.
Lillie, who was cowering behind Ash for a moment, took notice of the rain cloud when she heard the falling rain. Due to her vast knowledge of Pokémon, she is familiar with this move and now has a calmed down for she is certain her Ash's Pokémon will win against this wild Pokémon.
"Did Glalie use a new move?" Ash questioned, never have seen his Glalie do a move like that.
"It is." Lillie answered. "It's Rain Dance."
"Rain Dance?" Ash repeated. His mind then clicked when he remembered the last part of his conversation with Prof. Oak. "This is what he means by a surprise!"
Overcoming over his shock, Ash put on a smirk, "So you learned a new move. That's awesome!"
"Gla!"
The Face Pokémon was happy to praised, but the wild Salandit, on the other hand, was shivering. Not just by fear, but also due to Glalie's natural ability to freeze the surrounding moisture and also already being soaking wet from the falling rain. Even with the fire typing, the little salamander can not stand how cold it is now. Seeing that its opponent is busy being happy from the praise, it took the chance and quickly hightailed it out there. It knows when it lost a battle.
Ash saw it flee. He let it go. He won the battle, so there is no need for further actions.
Lillie sigh in relief once she saw the Salandit disappear from sight. She then saw Ash going up to his Pokémon, probably to praise it some more. She distance herself from the two so she would not interrupt them and also lessen the possibility of coming into contact with the Ice-type Pokémon. She did smile at it to show her appreciation.
"I can't believe you learned a new move while I was gone from home." Ash said with a smile. "You must have really gotten strong, haven't you?"
Glalie's answer to the rhetorical question was an Ice Beam that it happily let out at its trainer. Ash got frozen alive in a human-size block of ice.
"Ash!"
Because the Rain Dance disappeared soon after the battle was done and because it is hot as usual in Melemele Island, the ice melted quickly enough for Ash to break his way out. He returned his Pokémon back into its Pokéball before he and Lillie proceeded to go to their destination. The blonde is now feeling calmer than before since she witnessed how strong Ash's Glalie despite only witnessing a small portion of a short battle. Ash's strong claim of how tough his two Pokémon are also assured Lillie.
"So why did your Glalie do that? That was an awful thing to do to you." Lillie with concern in her voice. Her date may look fine, but the last thing she wants is to see him get sick.
Ash chuckled, "Don't worry. Glalie does that a lot and I'm kind of used to it."
That did not peter her worries away.
"Are you sure? You could get sick."
Her date just laughed at the possibility. He gives her a smile as he said,
"Lillie, Glalie frozed me a lot in the past and I've been through Sinnoh, so I'm sort of used to the cold." He assures her as his smile brightens as he recalled the memories of his previous journey.
His journey on the fourth region he has visited was great, but it could have gone better without the cold weather. That is one of the reason why he is grateful Mimey won those free plane tickets to here, the region of Alola.
"Sinnoh?"
Contrary to the popular belief around the Pokémon school, Lillie may be one of the smartest among the students, but all she knows are currently limited to Alola alone; she has yet to learn about other regions and makes them stand out. Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos, the region that was mentioned in class the other day, are completely alien to the Alolan native.
"The region that I traveled to before I came here." He explained. His smile slowly disappeared, "Didn't Mallow or the others told you that?"
The trainer from Kanto has been telling his classmates, excluding Lillie because of obvious reasons, stories of his journey of being a Pokémon trainer. The blonde would always excuse herself at those time because she was still embarrassed at the time. He was certain at least one of the others would retell the stories to her, but it seems the bookworm excuse herself from those as well.
Lillie then remembered the times when the others offered to her stories regarding Ash's adventures.
She lowered her head down as she frowned, "N-No, I didn't."
"Would you like to hear what I saw in Sinnoh?"
Lillie smiled at the kind proposition. She looks at him with a smiling blushed face
"Yes. I would like that."
Not much of a chapter, but I did say that I was going to write before it felt that you guys waited long enough.
I decided to give Ash's Glalie the move Rain Dance as a way to fight back Fire-types.
For those who will say that I was lazy to have Ash's Pokémon learn new moves off-screen without Ash training them, let me explain
Glalie, feeling left out from competing in the Sinnoh League, wanted to get stronger by training more while still at Prof. Oak's. It thought it could get stronger if it knows other moves which is how it learned the move Rain Dance.
- Rain Dance is a good move because in that weather condition, Fire type attacks are weakened which will greatly benefits Glalie.
BTW: Screw Pokémon only able to know four moves!
See you all next time. Please review (THEY MOTIVATE ME!)
