Location: Ula'ula Island, Malie City, Ferry Terminal(Alola)
A boat which lillie and ninetales was on finally arrived at the terminal on ula'ula island, as the blonde girl stepped off to see a beautiful sight of the sea.
"This place sure is beautiful, don't you think so ninetales?" She asked as the ice type fox nodded her head.
"Zoroark, come on out!" Lillie yelled as she tossed her pokeball.
The ball burst open to reveal the illusion fox pokemon, who looked around before facing lillie.
"Why don't stay out to have a good amount of fresh air?" She suggested as zoroark nodded.
"Tales, nine!" Ninetales called out.
"There is a place where I want to go, but i wonder where it is." Lillie wondered before walking into town with two of her pokemons.
Location: Ula'ula Island, Malie City(Alola)
As lillie stepped into town she could see a vast amount of shops along the road.
"I know malie city is not as big as hau'oli city but this city has more shops than I imagined." Lillie said with voice of amusement.
"Why don't we check some of the stores out?" She asked as they walked towards a clothing store.
While lillie and ninetales stepped into the shop, zoroark chose to stay outside where there was lesser people compared to the amount inside the store.
Lillie soon started to look around as her bag started moving.
"Nebby please stay still, I don't want to catch unnecessary attention." Lillie pleaded as nebby stopped moving, making the girl smile.
"Thank you." She spoke softly.
"Pew!" Nebby cried out while looking at a set of clothes.
"You mean you want me to buy these?" She asked as nebby nodded from within the bag.
"I don't really know if this will suit me." She said in a worried tone, before a voice rang.
"You'll never know unless you try it on lillie."
This made the girl turn to see someone who was similar looking to professor oak, this made lillie bow.
"Principle oak, alola!" She greeted as the principle nodded.
"Alola to you too lillie, but what are you doing here alone? Where are the rest?" He questioned curiously as lillie smiled.
"The rest are fufilling their duties as trial captains, and I'm here to study while waiting for a friend." She replied as principle oak nodded his head satisfactory.
"I heard that you have a new classmate from professor kukui, am I correct?" He asked as lillie nodded her head.
"Yes that's right, his name is ash ketchum from pallet town." She answered.
"I see, I would love to meet him one of these days." He replied with a smile.
"Anyways, why don't you let ninetales see your appearance in that dress?" He asked.
"Are you sure principle oak sir?" Lillie asked as he nodded.
"Pokemon shares the same mind as their trainers, so there's no need to be afraid." he replied confidently.
Lillie soon took the dress off the rack as she tried it on inside the changing room leaving nebby outside beside ninetales, as she stepped out ninetales was cheering for her trainer.
"It seems to me that ninetales loves it, so what do you think for yourself?" Principle oak asked as lillie nodded her head.
"I think I'll take it." She replied as he nodded.
"There is still one question you would like to ask?" He questioned as lillie nodded.
"I read that malie city has the biggest library, but I don't really know where since it's my first time here." she replied as principle oak nodded.
"I see, the library is along the rocky path when you step out of this store." he directed as lillie bowed.
"Thank you." She replied as the man nodded.
"You're welcome, but I have to take my leave so take care." He said as lillie nodded.
"Take care sir!" she waved while calling out.
She then went to purchase the set of clothing before stepping out of the store to meet zoroark who was still sitting down on the ground.
"Zoroark, it's time to go." She called out as zoroark stood up to follow her.
Lillie soon took the directory which principle told her about, after a few minutes the blonde girl found herself standing outside a rather big library.
"I guess this is it, the malie city's library where many rare books are kept." She said as they went in.
Location: Ula'ula Island, Malie City, library(Alola)
Upon stepping into the library, lillie found herself in front of the reception desk and looking at a vast amount of people.
"I better look at the book index to find what i want." She mumbled to herself.
Lillie than walked up to the index to search for the book she wants but couldn't find anything.
"I guess there's no book that will tell the story of alola's past history." She said with a tone of disappointment.
"You won't that sort of book in the index." a voice came making the girl jump.
Zoroark immedaitely turned around to swipe the voice but to only be blocked by a different coloured mimikyu.
"Zoroark stop the attacks." Lillie ordered as the dark type fox stood back.
"I'm so sorry for zoroark's action!" Lillie apologized while bowing down.
"No, it was my fault to begin with, if I didn't scare you zoroark wouldn't need to attack." She replied.
Lillie than raised her head to meet a girl at her age with purple hair wearing a rather long dress with a golden arm band on her left forearm.
"My name is acerola and this here is mimikyu, I'm sorry for startling you." she apologized.
"It's alright, my name is lillie and this here are my pokemons ninetales and zoroark." She waved off while introducing.
"But what do you mena the book Isn't in the index?" She asked as acerola giggled.
"Follow me if you would please." Acerola offered as lillie followed behind her to a higher floor.
As they arrive at the second floor, lillie could see even more bookshelves as acerola walked towards them with a rather old looking book in hand.
"I suppose you're looking for this?" Acerola asked while settling the book down on the desk.
"What's this book about?" She asked as acerola sat down on a chair.
"You'll know more about it if you read it." Acerola explained as lillie took the book in hand.
"History of alola?" She said in a questioning tone.
"Mind if I read it out loud?" Lillie asked as acerola shook her head.
"Please go ahead." She approved.
"When alola's history was created, light was given by two pokemon the pokemon who guides the moon and the beast who devours the sun, if alola was to be in danger the sun pokemon or moone pokemon will emerged from their slumber and fight with their might."
Lillie read the page as there was picture of a big white lion-like pokemon on the left and a big bat-like pokeon on the right, both which has a starry forehead.
"Could nebby be either one of them?" Lillie thought as she looked into the bag.
The bag started moving around as nebby came bursting out of the bag, looking at the picture of the two pokemon from the book.
"Pew, pew!" It cried in happiness as acerola opened her mouth in shock.
"That can't be a cosmog can it?" She asked as lillie immediately kept nebby inside her bag.
"How did you know?" she asked.
"Uncle nanu told me about it." She explained as lillie tilted her head.
"Uncle who?" She asked.
This made acerola stood up as the purple hair girl looked at her.
"Give me a few moments please." She asked as lillie nodded her head.
Acerola soon left the library, as several minutes passed by acerola re-entered the library door with a huge grin across her face as she sat down on the chair.
"Now he should appear soon." Acerola said confidently.
"Who?" Lillie asked.
Soon enough the library door swung open, a old man with grey hair wearing a burgundy shirt covered by a black jacket with a symbol on each side along with a long black pants and a pair of sandals, he was also wearing a necklace with a crystal hanging on it.
"Acerola, you took my kendama again didn't you?" His voice boomed through the library.
Acerola soon appeared from the railing on the second floor as she waved at him.
"I'm up here uncle nanu!" She yelled as nanu sighed before walking up.
"Good grief." he huffed out before facing lillie.
"Who is she, this girl doesn't look like a trial-goer." He asked while facing acerola.
The purple hair girl nodded her head before lillie stood up.
"My name is lillie and this here are my pokemon ninetales and zoroark, pleasure to meet you!" She introduced.
Nanu soon waved his hand while nodding his head.
"I assume you know me from acerola, now i don't think acerola need to drag me all the way here for no reason." He asked while leaning against the chair lazily.
"Lillie actually wants to know more about cosmog uncle nanu." Acerola answered, this made nanu narrow his eyes.
"Cosmog is it?" He asked as acerola and lillie nodded.
Nanu soon sigh before standing up, while wlaking towards the stairs.
"Come with me, this place isn't the best place to talk about it." He said while walking down with the two girls following him.
Location: Ula'ula Island, Malie City, Pokemon Center, Batlefield(Alola)
As they arrived at the back of the pokemon center, nanu immediately sat down leaning against a tree.
"Now before I speak anything about cosmog, show me your skills in battle." He declared to lillie.
"B-but I'm not good in battling." Lillie stuttered at nanu's sudden challenge.
"If you want to know about cosmog, I'll need to know your skill level first." he explained before standing up.
"And your opponent won't be me." he started before facing the woods.
"Now get out here!" he yelled.
From within the woods, a rather large alolan muk came out as it settled down on the field.
"Is that?" Lillie asked.
"Indeed it is, a totem muk and if you want information on cosmog you'll have to beat this big boy first, although i can't confirm that i know a lot." He explained.
Lillie nodded before facing ninetales.
"Would you please ninetales?" She asked as the fox pokemon stood into the field with a hail storm following afterwards.
"The battle between totem muk and lillie's ninetales will now begin! This battle will be over when neither side is able to continue, so beign!" Acerola called out.
The alolan muk immediately launched a huge wave of poison towards ninetales, as lillie put out her hand.
"Quick use aurora veil!"
Ninetales let out a cry to create a beautiful aurora which blocked the wave of poison as muk breathed out poison from his mouth.
"Safeguard go!"
Ninetales soon created a protective barrier as the poisonos gas flew pass her safely, muk than follow up his own attack by throwing a rather big rock at ninetales.
"Ice beam!"
Ninetales opened her mouth to launch a beam of ice, freezing the rock mid-air as muk was nowhere to be seen.
"Be careful ninetales." Lillie called out.
Ninetales nodded but she did, the fox pokemon was send into the air by muk who punched her with hand glowing white.
"That was brick break, but when did muk get there?" Lillie thought before ordering.
"Use ice beam on the ground!"
Ninetales complied by freezing the ground with beam of ice from her mouth, as muk created a blue ball tossing it towards the fox pokemon.
"Blizzard!"
Ninetales immediately launched a huge snowstorm towardsmuk's direction freezing the fighting type attack, muk soon became smaller dodging the huge ice type attack.
"That's minimize." Lillie mumbled to herself.
"Alright ninetales, use laser focus!"
the ice type fox soon closed her eyes to concentrate, as muk became smaller lillie put out her hand.
"Foul play, now!"
Ninetlaes soon leaped forward to grab muk as she tossed him into the air, while the sludge pokemon was coming down the ice type fox gave him a hard kick in the face sending the poison and dark type to a tree.
"Ice beam!"
Ninetales opened her mouth to launch a beam of ice as muk was frozen in a block of ice as acerola put up her hand.
"Totem muk is unable to battle, ninetales wins so the victory is lillie's!" she declared as nanu smirked.
"Not bad for someone who declared that she ain't good in battling." nanu said while freeing the muk.
"Now ask me what you want to know about cosmog, but make it quick." he stated while sitting down.
"I would like to know how much you know about nebby please." Lillie asked while bowing as nebby flew out beside her.
"You called your cosmog nebby?" Nanu asked as lillie nodded.
"Very well, but i can't say I know much, a long time ago the alola region was founded with no light but darkness, although the world's light soon came raining down as people spotted a big white lion and bat fromwithin." he explained.
"From within the light, the two pokemon created a smaller cloud version of themself before vanishing into thin air, and yes that small cloud was what they call cosmog but that's all i know." nanu finished as lillie nodded.
"Thank you for telling me." She thanked as nanu tossed her something.
"Take it,you've proven yourself even though you're not a trial-goer but the crystal you'll have to find it yourself." he said while walking off.
Lillie soon look at what she got, which happens to be a z-ring.
"Well that was unexpected." Lillie called out as zoroark begun growling.
A thick fog soon covered the entire area leaving lillie with no sight of acerola or ninetales, but she could catch zoroark in sight.
"Zoroark, what's going on?" Lillie asked as a voice came.
"Are you perhaps the girl with ash ketchum the other day?" the voice called out.
"Y-yes that's me but who are you?" Lillie called out with fear.
A green humanoid pokemon wearing white seems to be a white dress with something coming out of its chest appeared from the fog.
"It's me who's talking to you, little lady." the pokemon greeted as lillie stared at it.
"Aren't you a gardevoir? you can talk using telepathy?" She asked as gardevoir nodded.
"Yes i am and i can, now my question do you know where ash ketchum is?" The embrace pokemon asked as lillie thought for a moment.
"If i'm right he should be here by the next day." she said uncertainly, as gardevoir's eye glowed.
"Very well, I would like you to capture me for now and if you meet ash I want you to let me out to see him." Gardevoir requested as lillie nodded before pulling out an empty pokeball.
Gardevoir took no hesitation of pressing the button as it got sucked in, the ball wriggled once before clicking and from within the fog lillie could see another figure jumping away from the scene as the fog disappeared.
"Lillie, are you alright?" Acerola called out as she nodded.
"I am, please don't worry." Lillie reassured as acerola sighed in relief.
"Please don't tell them that you see me." Gardevoir's voice rang into lillie's head as she nodded unnoticed by acerola.
"We better get to rest, I'm sure that fog was a hallucination." Acerola joked a they went inside to rest for the night.
Location: Ula'ula Island, Malie City, Pokemon Center, Lobby(Alola)
The next morning rose as acerola was in the lobby with lillie, as the purple hair girl passed her something.
"If you'll like, I can lend this book to you." Acerola offered as lillie looked at her.
"Are you sure? i mean it's yours." She declined politely as acerola grinned.
"Well for one I'm sure, and second it's not like the library's going to keep this old book so imight as well lend it to you and you can return it anytime you like."
Lillie nodded before taking the book off acerola's hand.
"Thank you." Lillie thanked as a horn from the ferry can be heard.
"Well I got to go off somewhere, so let's hope we meet again!" Acerola waved before running out.
Lillie who too took off, but the direction was towards the ferry.
Lillie temporarily got a new pokemon, but what waits?
Q&A
1) Is hau aware that lillie is in dnager of lusamine?
No he doesn't, since no one spoke about it to him.
If that is all,
This is written by me but no claim is done by me, I REPEAT I HAVE NO CLAIM IN THE NAME OF POKEMON!
Otherwise,
PEACE!
