Pokemon: Adventures in Alola

Chapter 8: Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!

At the Pokemon School...

Pikachu, Poppy, Bounsweet, Popplio and Togedemaru were playing together.

Togedemaru becomes more active and ends up rolling into Pikachu before rolling around in joy.

"Once Togedemaru starts, you can't stop it."Sophocles commented with a smile.

Togedemaru rolled towards the trainers and their pokemon causing them to move out the way.

Lillie shrieked in fear as Togedemaru came close on hitting her.

"Lillie!"Mallow shouted and moved Lillie out of the way.

Togedemaru began to move around the class room more quickly.

"Pika pika pikachu!"Pikachu protested.

Togedemaru jumped back into the air and ends up hitting Ash and then Pikachu, who ends up having a couple of books dropping on him.

"Are you okay, Pikachu?"Ash asked.

"Pikachu."Pikachu mumbled.

Togedemaru gives Pikachu a happy respond.

Lillie looked at Mallow.

"Thank you, Mallow."Lillie admitted.

"No sweat."Mallow remarked.

"Sorry about that."Sophocles apologised as he stood up. "I'll give Togedemaru a good talk to."

"We'll if you weren't so scared of touching pokemon, Lillie, you would've caught Togedemaru with your own hands."Denise complemented simply.

"That's true, but..."Ash started.

"I can too, Denise."Lillie replied confidently. "At least, theoretically, I can! I should be able to touch them if I truly put my mind to it!"

"But you haven't touched a single pokemon ever since you arrived at school."Lana reminded.

"I know that."Lillie replied and dropped her head down in shame.

"Don't try to rush things."Kiawe instructed.

"He's right."Ash agreed with a smile. "Soon you'll be touching them with no problem."

"Thank you, Ash."Lillie replied. "I hope so."

"Everybody in here?"

The group noticed Professor Kukui in the classroom entrance.

"Professor Kukui."Ash said.

"Let's go see the principal, we're all gonna take part in Principal Oak's special class."Professor Kukui admitted.

"His special class?"Kiawe, Sophocles, Lana, Ash, Denise, Mallow and Lillie asked in unison.


In Samson Oak's office...

Professor Kukui brought the heroes to the principal office.

"We're all here."Professor Kukui announced.

"Oh, you're all gonna Mantyke this!"Principal Oak stated while doing a Mantyke face.

"He means 'love', right?"Denise whispered while sweat dropping.

"Yep."Mallow responded with a smile.

Principal Oak showed the heroes two Eggs.

One egg was brownish red and the other egg was white with little bright blue flower patterns.

"Huh?"Ash asked in surprise. "Where did you get those eggs?"

"Pika?"Pikachu asked.

"The egg you brought from the Kanto region is this one right here."Principal Oak explained. "And this Egg right over here was just recently discovered on Mount Lanakila."

"Have you analysed them to discover what's in those eggs yet?"Sophocles asked.

"I think it's much more fun to wait until they hatch."Principal Oak replied. "So I'll wait, which brings us to the point of this class. What if I cared for one egg and you cared for the other one."

Kiawe, Sophocles, Lana, Ash, Denise, Mallow and Lillie looked in silence.

"Are you talking about us?"Mallow suggested.

"You'll learn a lot from doing this! It'll be a great experience raising a pokemon starting from an egg."Professor Kukui said with a smile.

"And we're all going to be looking after it together?"Lillie asked.

"That's right."Professor Kukui agreed with a nod. "You are to observe the egg everyday and then, write a report on it, simple right?"

"How simple can it get, Wobbuffet?"Principal Oak asked and does a Wobbuffet expression. "So remember to add some Wobbuffection! Now which egg would you like to raise?"

"How do we choose which one?"Ash asked.

"It's so hard."Lana commented.

"Hey Lillie, which one do you like the best?"Mallow asked.

"Huh? Uh, let's see...I would choose this one."Lillie said and pointed at the white egg.

"Why?"Sophocles asked.

"Because the spots on it look like flowers."Lillie giggled. "It's so cute."

"Your right, it is cute."Mallow agreed.

"How sweet."Lana remarked.

"I bet the pokemon inside is gonna be adorable."Denise chuckled.

"You call that a reason?"Sophocles questioned.

"What's it matter?"Ash asked with a smile.

"Guess it doesn't."Sophocles replied.

"Then it is decided."Mallow admitted sweetly.

Ash looked at Kiawe.

"Wonder what pokemon is gonna be."Ash remarked.

"Who knows? A strong pokemon would be nice."Kiawe stated with a smirk.

"We can all play with it when the egg hatches, okay?"Lana said.

"And a little training too."Denise added.

Popplio and Poppy responded in agreement.

Pikachu smiled. "Pikachu."

"Bounsweet."Bounsweet giggled.

Togedemaru gave a happy reply.

"And that brings our class to an exhilarating close!"Principal Oak remarked. "Be like an excited Psyduck and go for a Golduck!"

"Right."Lana, Lillie, Denise, Sophocles, Ash, Kiawe and Mallow answered with nods.


Afterwards...

The heroes went back to the classroom to look at the white egg.

Ash placed his hands on the egg.

"Wow, it's kind of warm."Ash remarked.

"Yeah, you're right."Mallow said as she placed her hand on the egg. "It feels so alive."

"Let me touch."Sophocles replied.

Lana, Denise, Kiawe and Sophocles began to touch the egg except Lillie.

"Lillie, why don't you try and touch the egg?"Denise suggested.

"I don't know."Lillie responded with a unsure look.

"We know your afraid, but remember pokemon eggs aren't able to move."Mallow reminded.

"Yeah, your right."Lillie agreed softly.

Lillie reached out her hand to touch the egg, but then it moved a little causing her to freak out.

"It moved!"Ash gasped.

"I saw it too."Sophocles agreed.

"That means it's healthy."Lana commented.

"It's definitely gonna hatch soon."Denise remarked.

"I'm sorry, Lillie."Mallow apologised.

"Don't be."Lillie assured with a smile. "I'm fine."

"I can't help but think what's going on inside that egg."Sophocles stated and looked at Rotom. "Can you scan it, Rotom Dex?"

"I am not equipped with that function."Rotom admitted.

"Hey, what about at night time?"Lana asked.

"Good question."Mallow agreed.

"Well, we can't leave it in the classroom, no way."Sophocles said.

"Somebody will have to bring it home with them."Kiawe commented.

"That's where I come in!"Ash said proudly.

"I think Lillie would be best."Mallow suggested.

"Can she do it?"Lana asked.

"That's the point."Mallow complemented. "The best way to touch pokemon is to take care of the egg and get used to it bit by bit. What do you say, Lillie?"

"I guess so."Lillie answered nervously. "I could try."

"Of course, you don't have to."Sophocles reminded.

"I'll do it!"Lillie admitted.

Mallow, Lana, Denise, Sophocles, Ash and Kiawe stared at Lillie with surprised looks.

"I'm a student of this Pokémon School too, aren't?"Lillie asked.

"Of course, I know that you can do it."Mallow remarked.

"Yeah, if you're sure."Sophocles chuckled.

"She's gonna be just fine."Lana said softly.

"Go for it!"Ash encouraged.

"Show no fear."Denise complemented.

"We have faith in you."Kiawe stated.

"Right, I can do this."Lillie responded with a confident expression.

Unknown to the heroes, a Salandit was watching them and the egg.


A While Later...

The school bell rang and the group went out of the class.

"I'm so sorry, I have to go help out at the restaurant."Mallow apologised before looking at Ash and Denise. "Could you two look after them?"

"You can count on me and Denise."Ash assured. "We'll make sure Lillie and the egg get home alright."

"Pika."Pikachu agreed with a wave.

Poppy did a happy clap.

"Have fun at the restaurant, see you tomorrow."Lillie stated sweetly.

"Mm hm, see you!"Mallow remarked as she left her friends and headed to where her family restaurant was.

"So which way do we get to your house, Lillie?"Denise asked.

"It's a long walk, but I have someone picking me up."Lillie answered. "There he is now."

Then a limousine arrived to the school.

"Greetings, Miss Lillie."the driver said with a bow. "Your car awaits."

"Wow, would you look at that."Ash commented with a stunned look.

"Pikachu."Pikachu whispered.

"That is so cool."Denise chuckled with her eyes sparkling.

The limousine drove Lillie, Ash and Denise to her home.

Denise and Popplio looked out the window and saw the beautiful view of the sea.

"So how much longer?"Ash asked.

"We're actually close to the estate you know."Lillie remarked.

"Estate?"Ash said in surprise.

"This is all part of Lillie's yard."Rotom commented.

"It's so beautiful."Denise whispered in amazement.

The limo soon arrived at Lillie's house.

Arriving at the house, Lillie, Ash and Denise were met by her butler Hobbes.

"I wish a warm welcome home, Miss Lillie."Hobbes said.

Lillie, Ash, Denise, Pikachu, Rotom and Popplio went out of the limo.

"Thank you."Lillie replied.

"Of course."Hobbes answered as he took Lillie's hat and backpack.

"These are my classmates from school, Ash and Denise."Lillie introduced. "These are their pokemon, Pikachu and Poppy. That is Rotom Dex."

"It is a pleasure."Hobbes stated with a bow. "I am under employment of this estate and my name is Hobbes."

"Nice to meet you."Ash remarked.

"Please to be your acquaintance."Denise admitted kindly.

Pikachu and Popplio gave happy responds to Hobbes.

"Greetings Hobbes."Rotom greeted.

"I realise this may asking a lot, but I must request your pokemon, master and madam, Pikachu and Popplio wait within the garden area."Hobbes requested.

"Huh?"Ash and Denise said in confusion.

"It's alright, Hobbes."Lillie assured. "See they all came home with me to help me out."

"I see, very well then."Hobbes responded and walked forward. "If you would follow me."

Lillie, Ash and Denise followed Hobbes inside the large house.

"What a big room."Ash complemented.

"Please forgive my grievous mistake."Hobbes apologised. "Normally we don't allow pokemon in the residence."

"I know they tend to scare me a bit."Lillie said sadly.

"That's what it was all about."Ash replied in realisation.

"So you have a garden outside for pokemon."Denise responded.

"Yes."Lillie replied. "We had it built for wild pokemon to play in it, where I can watch them play from a safe distance."

"In a few minutes, you will see a few pokemon playing in the garden."Hobbes explained.

"Your kidding? I would love to see that."Ash commented.

"I can't wait."Denise giggled.

"Then I would be pleased to escort you."Hobbes complemented.

The group arrived to Lillie's room.

"And this is my room."Lillie admitted.

Lillie opened the door to show Ash and Denise her room that was big and elegant.

"Awesome, wow!"Ash chuckled.

Denise looked at the pokemon plushies above a small desk.

"Your plushies are so cute."Denise stated while blushing a little.

"Thanks."Lillie responded kindly and walked up to a green sofa. "I think we should put the egg right here. Maybe it would be better if it was softer."

Lillie walked up to her book shelf and took out a pink book.

"If I remember something about pokemon eggs it says right here."Lillie explained as she checked the pages of the book.

Then Lillie placed three small pillows on the sofa.

"There."Lillie giggled. "What do you think?"

Ash placed the egg on the pillows.

"Feels good, do you like it?"Ash asked.

The egg moved a little.

"The egg says yeah."Ash responded.

Lillie sighed in relief.

"It does? Thank goodness!"Lillie remarked. "I've never thought I would be taking care of an egg. I'll need to do more studying to make sure it hatches healthy and happy."

Denise nodded. "That is totally true."

"You really love pokemon don't you, Lillie?"Ash asked.

Ash and Denise notice a photo of Lillie as a little girl holding a Lillipup with her mother and brother between her.

"That little girl holding that Lillipup is that you, Lillie?"Ash asked.

"Yeah."Lillie replied.

"Then you used like touching pokemon."Ash said.

"As a small child, Miss Lillie adored being with pokemon."Hobbes explained. "She adored playing with them all the time."

"What happened after that?"Denise asked.

"Honestly I really don't know."Lillie admitted and looked down in sadness.

"You don't know?"Ash commented in surprise.

"I really don't know all the facts."Hobbes stated. "But one thing from the past, Miss Lillie resided with her mother for a small period of time, it was when she returned to estate. That I realised she no longer was able to touch pokemon of any kind."

Ash and Denise looked at Lillie quietly.

"I get it."Ash replied and looked at the photo. "Those people in the photo?"

"The Mrs and the young master."Hobbes answered. "The Mrs is elsewhere, busy with her work."

"So you live here with your brother?"Denise suggested.

"My brother doesn't live here."Lillie admitted.

"Please excuse the intrusion."

Hobbes, Lillie, Ash and Denise turned around and saw maid coming in with cups of tea and a tower of macarons that had bright dark colour shades of pink.

"I brought some Roserade Tea and a few snacks."the maid remarked.

"It's a mountain!"Ash gasped.

"Pika."Pikachu whispered with his mouth drooling a little.

"Your welcome to have as much as you like."Lillie requested.

"Thanks, I will."Ash commented.

"Pika!"Pikachu agreed.

Ash and Pikachu started eating the macaroons as Lillie, Denise, Popplio, Hobbes and the maid watched.

Denise and Poppy sweat dropped at the sight.

"They do have hearty appetites."Hobbes said.

"They sure do."Lillie agreed with a small smile.

"You should see the way they devour my homemade cakes."Denise whispered. "It's insane."

"Hey Lillie, how about doing some practice?"Ash suggested while eating a macaron.

"Do you mean what I think you mean?"Lillie asked.

"Yeah."Ash agreed with a nod. "Of touching pokemon."

"Well..."Lillie started.

Denise looked at the family photo of Lillie and her family.

"Whatever happened to Lillie must have been a family issue."Denise thought as she softly drank her cup of Roserade tea.

After finishing drink tea and having snacks, Ash used the dinner trolly to bring Pikachu and Popplio close to Lillie, who was beginning to freak out a little.

"Don't worry."Ash assured. "Pikachu or Poppy aren't going to move a muscle."

"Lillie, it's alright."Denise reminded. "They won't hurt you."

"Okay."Lillie said nervously.

Lillie reached out her hand to touch Pikachu, but the Mouse Pokemon moved his head on Lillie's hand which make her freak out and hug her knees.

"Miss Lillie, no!"Hobbes called out.

"We told you not to move a muscle."Ash reminded.

"Pikachu."Pikachu said with a sheepish smile.

Popplio went up to Lillie to snuggle her arm causing her to freak out even more.

Denise sighed. "Looks like this is more harder than expected."

Ash brought his sleeping Rowlet out of his backpack.

"Check it out."Ash suggested. "Rowlet is fast asleep."

"Asleep that is good."Lillie agreed.

Lillie reached out her hand to touch Rowlet, but the flying pokemon chirped and woke up causing her to scream in terror.

Rowlet stopped chirping and fell asleep.

"Was it tricking?!"Ash questioned angrily.

"Yep."Denise mumbled in disproval.

"Pikachu!"Pikachu snapped with a frown.

"Fine, if that doesn't work, Rotom!"Ash ordered.

"You can count on me!"Rotom assured.

"See Lillie? This isn't a pokemon, it's just a regular pokedex."Ash requested.

"Regular?"Rotom said.

"Regular?"Lillie asked nervously and reached out her hand. "It's just a regular pokedex. That is all. Just a pokedex."

"I'm not a regular pokedex!"Rotom said. "I'm a Rotom Dex!"

Lillie once again freaked out and hugged her knees.

"Ash, this is not going to work."Denise complemented.

"Well, we won't give up, right?"Ash asked with a smile.

"Right."Lillie responded with a hint of fright.

The group notice a Butterfree flying past the balcony.

"Hey, it's a Butterfree."Ash admitted.

"Pika."Pikachu whispered in awe.

"Yeah, many wild pokemon love to pass by here."Lillie explained.

"Yeah."Lillie agreed and opened the drawer revealing jars of pokemon food. "Let's see...here it is."

Lillie placed the pokemon food into a plate.

"Does that mean you have different food for all kinds of pokemon?"Ash asked.

"Sure."Lillie remarked. "All pokemon have likes and dislikes too. I give them the most appropriate food."

"That is a very clever idea, Lillie."Denise commented with a smile.

Poppy let out a happy respond.

Lillie gives the wild Butterfree the bowl of pokemon food.

The Butterfree started eating the pokemon food.

"Butterfree loves it."Ash laughed.

"Buttefree likes that kind of food a lot."Lillie said.

"It's chowing down like craze."Ash admitted and looked at Lillie. "Your amazing, Lillie."

Lillie blushed. "Oh, thank you. I'm pretty sure the wild pokemon are out in the garden now."

Denise gasped and looked down from the balcony with Popplio.

"She's right Ash, look."Denise responded.

Ash and Pikachu look out in the garden and sees lots of wild pokemon were out there playing.

"Look at all of them."Ash chuckled.


At the Entrance of the Estate...

The doorbell of the estate rang.

An old maid opened the front door to find Mallow and Bounsweet, who had come to check on Lillie.

"If it isn't Miss Mallow."the old maid said.

"May I come in?"Mallow asked.

"Do."the old maid answered with a smile.


At the Balcony...

Hobbes, Lillie, Ash, Denise, Pikachu and Popplio watched the wild pokemon play together.

"They are all so cute."Denise said sweetly.

"You've got a battlefield?"Ash asked in surprise.

"We are quite intelligent in it's out keep."Hobbes explained. "So it can be used any time."

"Any time?"Ash asked excitedly.

"Ash loves to battle more than I do."Denise admitted.

"In that case, feel free to use it."Lillie suggested.

"Alright!"Ash cheered and looked at Pikachu. "We're going to have a pokemon battle."

"Pika!"Pikachu chuckled.

"But who are you going to battle against?"Rotom asked.

"Your right."Ash agreed sadly. "I don't have an opponent to fight against."

"I think we can find somebody."Lillie giggled and looked at Hobbes.

"You mean Hobbes?"Ash questioned.

"Actually Hobbes is one of the best battlers among the staff."Lillie complemented.

"Really?"Denise asked.

"Wow!"Ash responded. "That's perfect! I love to challenge you for a battle."

"Pikachu!"Pikachu commented.

"As you wish, young Ash."Hobbes replied. "I would like to battle you."

"Awesome, alright!"Ash laughed and punched the air.


In the Estate Battlefield...

Ash and Hobbes were preparing to battle as Lillie, Denise and Popplio watched from the balcony.

"Just remember to not go easy on me!"Ash called out.

"On my request, you do the same Master Ash!"Hobbes stated.

"Pikachu!"Pikachu said with a smirk.

Pikachu went to the battlefield.

"Sorry, buddy."Ash apologised and brought Pikachu back. "I wanted to give Rowlet a chance to battle. The next battle is yours."

"Pikachu?"Pikachu responded.

"Rowlet, I choose you."Ash admitted.

Rowlet flew out of Ash's backpack.

"So your going to use a Rowlet then?"Hobbes asked and took out a pokeball. "Alright then I will be using this pokemon!"

Hobbes pokeball opened and a yellow coloured Oricorio appeared.

"I've never seen that pokemon."Ash said.

"Pika."Pikachu whispered.

"That's my queue. Oricorio, Pom-Pom Style the Dancing Pokemon."Rotom said. "An Electric and Flying type. It creates electricity by rubbing it's pom-poms together. Then it dances as it approaches it's opponent before attacking. When it drinks different special nectars found only in Alola, it can change its type."

"Change it's type?"Ash asked.

"Yes, this Oricorio is a special yellow nectar from the species of flower only her in Melemele Island."Hobbes explained.

"Oricorio is really cool."Ash remarked. "Wow, Alola pokemon are so great. Rowlet, it's our first pokemon battle, let's do our best."

Rowlet let out a happy chirp.

"Okay Rowlet, Leafage!"Ash ordered.

Rowlet sent Leafage towards Oricorio.

"Revelation Dance!"Hobbes ordered.

Oricorio uses Revelation Dance to dodge Leafage before hitting Rowlet with electricity.

"Rowlet!"Ash shouted.

Pikachu gasped. "Pika!"

"The Pom Pom style Oricorio's Revelation Dance is strong!"Rotom explained. "It uses electricity to built in it's pom poms to dance and attack!"

Rowlet stood up but had swirls in it's eyes.

"Rowlet!"Ash called out. "Can you go on?"

Rowlet snapped out of it's dizziness and responded bravely.

"Yes!"Ash laughed with a smirk. "Then use Tackle!"

Rowlet flew to tackle Oricorio.

"Use Mirror Move!"Hobbes ordered.

Rowlet used Tackle but Oricorio used Mirror Move, causing the attacks to collide.

"No way!"Ash shouted in shock.

"How?"Lillie asked in surprise.

"Of course."Denise said simply. "Mirror Move is an attack that mimics the target's move."

"So what do you plan on doing now?"Hobbes asked.

"Use Tackle again!"Ash ordered.

Rowlet flew towards Oricorio to do another Tackle.

"Use Mirror Move!"Hobbes ordered.

Rowlet tried to attack Oricorio but the Dancing Pokemon dodged.

"That's what I thought."Ash stated. "Mirror move mirrored now!"

Rowlet send Oricorio back with a kick.

"Oh my stars!"Hobbes said with a stunned look. "I've never seen anything like that before. Mirror moved mirrored."

"It's legs are very strong."Ash complemented.

"This young man is very skilled."Hobbes whispered with a smirk and spoke up. "Very well, I shall take the usual. Use Revelation Dance!"

Oricorio began to dance using her pom poms.

"Don't let the electricty hit you."Ash instructed.

Rowlet nodded in respond.

Oricorio uses Revelation Dance and fired its attack which Rowlet dodge.

"Great Rowlet!"Ash remarked.

"I must say, it's been ages since I had an enjoyable battle."Hobbes stated.

"Thanks a lot."Ash replied.

Lillie moved her attention away from the battle and looked at Denise.

"Hey Denise."Lillie said. "Did Ash travelled with you back in Sinnoh?"

"Yeah, you wouldn't believe the crazy adventures and cool training we did together."Denise commented. "To be honest I had feelings for him."

"So is he your boyfriend?"Lillie asked.

Denise shook her head.

"Nah, it was just a silly crush."Denise responded with a smile. "I always knew Ash only saw me as a friend, but it was still fun believing he was my guy and I was his girl. Beside my boyfriend is the total opposite of Ash, but I am sure right now his actually deep down thinking of me since I'm here."

"I see, your relationship with Ash was based on puppy love."Lillie said.

"You could say that."Denise agreed with a sheepish smile.

"Oh, we better check on the egg."Lillie admitted in realisation.

"Your right."Denise replied with a nod.

Lillie, Denise and Popplio went back into the room to check on the egg.

The egg started to move a little.

"Seems to be moving and relaxing."Denise said in amusement and looked at Lillie. "Lillie, exactly what is Mount Lanakila like?"

"Mount Lanakila is the roughest and coldest mountain in the Alola region."Lillie admitted. "It's located on Ula'ula Island in the north of Tapu Village."

"Whoa, seriously?"Denise asked in surprise and looked at the egg. "So does that mean the pokemon in this egg is an ice type?"

"Yep."Lillie replied sweetly.

Suddenly Popplio became alarm and went off the sofa while glaring at something.

"What is it Poppy?"Denise asked.

Popplio pointed it at something causing Denise and Lillie to look at her direction.

From the window, a Salandit came into the room.

"Ah!"Lillie shrieked in fright.

"A Salandit!"Denise said with a frown.

The Salandit hissed at Popplio, who just glared in respond.

"No please, stay away!"Lillie cried.

Salandit jumped in the air to attack causing Lillie to bravely grab the egg.

"Poppy use Hidden Power!"Denise ordered.

Popplio fired Hidden Power at Salandit, sending it crushing against the wall but this made the toxic lizard pokemon get angry and stand up.

"Oh, your not giving up?"Denise retorted. "Well, your going to regret this."

Popplio responded in agreement.

"Be careful, you two!"Lillie warned.

Then Ash, Hobbes and Mallow rushed into the room.

"Miss Lillie!"Hobbes called out.

"Denise!"Ash shouted.

"You guys!"Lillie remarked in tears of joy.

"You came just in time."Denise admitted.

Hobbes, Ash and Mallow notice the Salandit.

"Who's that?"Ash asked.

"Salandit the Toxic Lizard Pokemon."Rotom said. "A Poison and Fire type. Salandit lives in volcanoes and dry rocky places. They're very dangerous Pokémon that attack after releasing a sweet-smelling poisonous gas!"

"That's not allowed!"Hobbes stated.

Salandit rushed forward to tackle.

"Pikachu use Quick Attack!"Ash ordered.

Pikachu hit the Salandit with Quick Attack.

"Oricorio use Teeter Dance!"Hobbes ordered.

Oricorio uses Teeter Dance to confuse the Salandit.

"Poppy use Bubble Beam!"Denise ordered.

"Rowlet use Tackle!"Ash ordered.

Popplio used Bubble Beam and Rowlet used Tackle to send the Salandit flying out of the balcony.

Oricorio, Rowlet, Popplio, Pikachu and Bounsweet stared angrily at the Salandit causing it to freak out and run away.

Denise, Ash, Mallow and Hobbes rushed up to Lillie.

"Lillie are you alright?"Ash asked.

"I'm fine."Lillie responded and looked at Mallow. "Mallow?"

"I came to check on you, I was worried."Mallow answered. "And look at you!"

Lillie notice she was holding the egg.

"Oh the egg!"Lillie panicked. "I just wanted to protect it!"

"You were very brave, Lillie."Denise chuckled. "You wanted to protect the egg from that Salandit despite your fear of touching pokemon. You've got strong guts."

"Thank you, Denise."Lillie remarked and hugged the egg. "It's so warm."

"Good for you, Lillie."Ash commented.

"This is the most wonderful thing I have ever witnessed!"Hobbes cried.

"That's great isn't?"Mallow asked.

Lillie nodded. "Yeah."

Pikachu and Popplio went up to Lillie causing her to scream in fright.

"It looks like Lillie isn't quite over her fear yet."Mallow admitted.

"Pikachu."Pikachu replied sadly.

"Oh well."Denise said with a shrug. "It will take time."

"But your able to touch the egg thats what counts."Ash reminded with a smile. "I am happy for you."

"Thanks."Lillie answered. "I'm happy about it too."

"Caring for the egg is the perfect job for you."Mallow commented.

Lillie smiled. "Right."
