Chapter 4
Uh... the morning sunlight is something that I really don't like... I slowly open my eyes and I see Ash staring at me with a smile... wait! Ash?! My face starts to burn really red, and I start to remember what happened yesterday...
Yesterday, I came to Kanto alone since I wanted to talk with Ash about me being Serena, and then Ash confesses to me... I can't believe it! Ash is my boyfriend! I'm dating the World Monarch! Everything is real after all...
"Morning, Lillie..." Ash says to me, and his face is so close to me, I squeak a little as I accidentally push him off the bed, causing him to tumble on the floor.
"Ow.. what was that for?" I realize what I'd done and I panicked. "I'm sorry, Ash... I didn't mean to..."
"It's fine... Now that you're awake, I'll go prepare breakfast. You should take your time before joining us." Ash then slowly gets up and leaves the room, I sigh as I decide to take a shower and dress up before joining Ash.
I look in the living room and find that Pikachu and Sylveon are already awake and they're having breakfast with Snowy. Ever since I got Serena's Pokemon with me, Sylveon and Snowy are behaving just like a mother and a daughter. And now that yesterday they meet with Pikachu again, they really look like a family.
"Good morning, you three." I greet the three Pokemon, and they also greet me back, I'm careful not to let the Pokemon Food get onto my dress, and then I join Ash at the table.
"So we're going to see the Professor today?" I ask Ash after finishing the breakfast that Ash made for me, which is actually very good since it reminds me of the times we spent in Kalos.
"Yeah. After that, we're going to introduce you to all of my Pokemon." Ash says to me.
I remember that yesterday, Ash shows me around the whole Pokemon area, but I didn't get to meet all of them because they were either sleeping or training. But I'm really happy to see some old friends again. I also didn't know that the cute Rowlet has become a Decidueye already, I wonder what happened to the Everstone he was holding back then.
After we clean up the dining room and the plates, we all head outside to meet Professor Oak. I remember the last time we met was the Field Trip Professor Kukui led us, and there were also Ash's former companions Misty and Brock.
"There it is. This is Professor Oak's lab." Ash says to me, and we all head inside. Professor Oak was looking at the sleeping Dedenne before being shocked after accidentally grabbing the tail.
"You're still the same, Professor?" Ash says as the Professor notices us.
"Ah, Ash... I see you have Lillie here with you." Professor Oak says.
"It's nice to see you again, Professor Oak." I bow, and the Professor just gives me a chuckle.
Ash says, "Professor, we're here because we have some news to tell you." He glances at me with a nervous tone and then he says, "You see... the two of us are actually dating."
The Professor seems shocked at first before he shows a smile. "I see... congratulations to both of you. I never thought I'd seen the day."
Although he is different from Principal Oak back at the Alola Trainer's School, it also feels weird since I thought he would do some Pokemon puns.
"By the way, Lillie, right? I heard from my cousin that you were having a memory recovery." Professor Oak says to me and I nod.
"Yes, Professor. You see... one of the Aether Foundation scientists used my memories to create a robot, my family found out a month ago and they decide to terminate the robot while giving me the memories of the robot." I say. "And it turns out I already met Ash and traveled with him in the Kalos Region."
"Ah, so you're not only Lillie but Serena." Professor Oak smiles, "Ash talked about you a lot during his time here at the lab."
Ash says, "It was not a big deal, I just talked about all of my journeys until the fact that I'm the World Champion and... my mother's demise..."
He is frowning again because he remembers his mother's death again. Oh, how I wish to find a way to cheer him up...
"Ash, I know it is still hard for you to forget, but remember, I will always be by your side." I say it to him and also squeeze his hand, and he smiles back at me.
"Thanks, I need that." Professor Oak is watching our interaction and he smiles, "Well, I'm glad you really have someone as nice as Lillie to take care of you."
I quickly say, "It is actually Ash taking care of me most of the time..."
"You don't need to be modest." Ash says. "You also helped me a lot."
Professor Oak's focus then turns to Snowy, and he says, "Ah, your Alolan Vulpix has evolved."
"Yeah, Snowy was nervous about evolving at first, but she is really beautiful as a Ninetales, don't you think so?"
I pet the Ninetales, and she yelps before nuzzling at me. Professor Oak says, "With the evolution, Ninetales gain the Fairy Type, which means that it is immune to Dragon Type but has a giant weakness against the Steel Type Pokemon."
"You're right about that." Ash says. "By the way, Tracy is not here again, is he?"
"He has been staying at Cerulean City for a long time." Professor Oak says. "But I heard that Gary will be coming back here soon."
"Is that so? I thought he was busy with Project Mew." Ash says.
"Project Mew?" I ask with confusion since I don't think I've heard of this thing before.
"They are a group whose goal is attempting to find Mew in order to figure out the origins of Pokémon, which is led by Professor Amaranth." Ash explains to me.
"Eh..." I say in awe, and Ash says, "Well, I'm going to bring Lillie to see my Pokemon, so please say hi to Gary."
"Of course. Just be careful." Professor Oak says as we bid him farewell.
While we're back at Ash's house, Ash says, "I never told this to others, but I have been visited by all kinds of Legendary and Mythical Pokemon. That includes Mew."
"Really?" I was surprised, I know that Ash is a Legendary or Mythical Pokemon magnet, but it was still so surprising.
"Yeah. But I don't plan on revealing this to everyone, including Professor Oak. Legendary and Mythical Pokemon deserve privacy, and I don't want them to spread it out loud so that everyone will swarm into our house." Ash says to me.
"Our... house?" Why isn't he saying "his" house but "our" house? Ash realizes what I'm implying and says, "Oh well... I hope you don't mind since we're dating and I have been thinking a lot lately."
"What were you thinking?" I ask since I'm really confused about what he's talking about.
"Just about our future." Ash replies, and I feel my cheeks burning again. "Sorry about that, maybe we should discuss it another time. Let's go to the forest. Venusaur can help us with gathering all the Pokemon."
When we get to the forest, we see that Venusaur was running towards us. He tackles Ash to the ground as I panicked. "Ash?"
"I'm fine... Venusaur has been stronger now that he's in the final stage." Ash says. "Venusaur, can you help me gather all the Pokemon?"
Venusaur nods as he starts to do the Solar Beam, and much to my surprise, I see a lot of Pokemon coming toward us.
There are Butterfree (Two of them and one has a different color), Pidgeot, Charizard, Blastoise, Kingler, Primeape, Muk, Tauros (And there are 30 of them), Mr. Mime, Lapras, Snorlax, Heracross, Meganium, Typhlosion (Something's not right with the Typhlosion since it has purple flames), Feraligatr, Noctowl, Donphan, Tyranitar, Swellow, Sceptile, Crawdaunt, Torkoal, Glalie, Ambipom, Staraptor, Torterra, Infernape, Floatzel, Gliscor, Garchomp, Unfezant, Samurott (This one is also different, it looks darker), Emboar, Serperior, Scrafty, Leavanny, Seismitoad, Gigalith, Krookodile, Greninja, Talonflame, Hawlucha, Goodra, Noivern, Decidueye, Lycanroc, Incineroar, Sogaleo (It's Nebby!), Naganadel, Melmetal, Dragonite, Gengar, Lucario, Sirfetch'd, Dracovish, and there are new Pokemon like Gardevoir, Nidoking, Salazzle, Aurorus, Stonjourner, Rhyperior, Kleavor (How is that possible? I only saw them on books), Escavalier, Accelgor, Runerigus, Aegislash, Mimikyu, Zoroark (This one is white and red as well) Metagross, Rotom, Boltund, Ampharos, Luxray, Eelektross, Galarian Rapidash, Wobbuffet, Froslass, Beartic, and Eiscue.
"Amazing... all of them are your Pokemon..." And just then, I notice all of them are looking at me. I tense up as I don't know what to do.
"Guys, I want to tell you guys... this is Lillie, she is my girlfriend." Ash says. Both the Kalos and Alola Pokemon are rushing towards me, some of them are giving me a hug, while some of them are just nodding at me, like Greninja, who is always the cool type since he evolved.
As for the other Pokemon, they stare at me first before greeting me. Although I didn't know what they were saying since I'm not Ash, Ash smiles and pats my shoulder, "Don't worry, they're just saying hi to you."
"Okay. It is nice to meet all of you." Then I take out 10 Pokeballs and there are Delphox, Pangoro, Altaria, Milotic, Beautifly, Magearna, Clefairy, Polteageist, Ribombee, and Gallade.
Ash says, "So you're able to carry 12 Pokemon?"
"I have my own Pokedex and Serena's Pokedex." I reply, and I can see that Delphox is hugging Greninja, while some of the Pokemon are greeting the others. "And looks like your Greninja is happy to see Delphox again."
"Yeah, he seems to have some feelings for her." Ash says. "Greninja returns because the vines have been removed after two years of hard-working."
"I see..." I nod and I also notice a glare from Meganium. I ask, "Um... Ash, I think your Meganium is glaring at me... did I do something wrong?"
Ash frowns a little and says, "She was just being jealous. Since you're my girlfriend, and she still wants to be my mate..."
A Pokemon wanting to be a mate with a human? I have never heard about this, and I don't think it will actually work as well... wait, what am I thinking? I know Ash is not that kind of person... so stop it!
"Lillie, are you alright?" Ash asks me with concern, and thank goodness that makes me forget a little.
"Yeah... so I just need to wait for her to open up for me?" I ask.
"Maybe." Ash replies.
And then I see some Pokemon walking up to me. I decide to ask, "Ash... what happened to your Samurott and Typhlosion? They look different from the normal ones."
"It is an ancient form known as the Hisuian Form," Ash says to me. "It is from the old Sinnoh, and Arceus is the one that unlocked their ancient powers so that they evolve like that. The same goes for my Scyther and Zoroark, that's why I have a Kleavor."
"Wow. Hisuian Forms..." I mutter in awe.
And here is a new chapter, and this time it is Lillie's point of view. Ash has all of his Pokemon back and all of his Pokemon except for Pikachu have evolved into their final forms, and I also reveal Lillie's Pokemon. I hope you like this chapter and the next chapter will be about the meeting with Gary Oak and some other things.
