ALOLA TO OUR SAVIOUR: Chapter 26 - Battle against the rock Queen.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon :/
DISCLAIMER 2: It's plot. Don't roast my arse for it.
Upon returning back to Konikoni city knowing that only one more battle stood in Ash's way and progressing in to becoming a Pokemon master.
Olivia.
Lana offered to Ash, Lillie and Hau to stay at her place again, while Zach opted to go and stay at the pokecentre for the night.
It was roughly 5 in the morning as Ash woke up slowly. He rubbed his eye and saw Hau was still fast asleep. He looked downwards to see his Pokemon sleep as well along with Hau's with Torracat and Stufful being at the end of his bed, Dartrix resting on his bag and Salandit on some blankets right by the bed.
He thought back to his past travels and being wounded up in situations like this.
But this felt different to Ash. More personal with a point to prove.
Looking out the window, he was surprised to see Lana already on the back of her Lapras fishing.
Ash knew he wasn't getting back to sleep anytime soon so he decided to go see the water trial captain.
Getting dressed and wandering outside, he walked over to Lana, who saw him straight away.
"Oh! Morning." Lana said to the Kanto native.
"Morning." He responded back.
"Lillie and Hau still asleep?" she asked, stuttering at Hau's name.
"Yeah. I know Hau is but not sure about Lillie though." Ash told her, picking up the stutter from Lana with interest.
"So… Todays the day." Lana said as she reeled in a Magikarp, letting it go instantly.
"Yeah. Slightly nervous as it's been a while since our first Kahuna battle versus Hala." Ash explained.
"I'm sure you and Hau will be fine." Lana assured. "Oh yeah. Mallow wanted to see you."
"She is up already?" Ash questioned as the blue haired girl nodded. Ash sighed. "Where is she?"
"At her place. That's what she told me." Lana said. "I guess I'll see you at the grand trial then."
"Thanks for everything. Helping with the whole Mallow thing at the start, the trial and just letting us stay here." Ash thanked as Lana smiled.
"No sweat. You better not keep her waiting. You know how Mallow gets…" Lana laughed.
"Just like her cousin." Ash said as he turned to go to Mallows place as Lana was left blushing at the last thing Ash said.
The Kanto born headed over to the grass trial captains house where he saw Mallow out back, cleaning some Tauros. Knowing it was still early in the morning, he got a bit closer before yelling out to her.
"Mallow!" Ash called out.
The green haired girl smiled without even looking then took a breath of air.
"Just a minute!" she called back out as she placed down the brush and walked over to the gate to let him in. Mallow gave him a hug which he returned back slightly.
"Lana said you wanted to talk to me?" Ash asked.
Mallow nodded and grabbed his hand.
"Follow me."
They went to the same spot as where Mallow was before Ash arrived.
"Seeming this is… Well, probably the last time you'll spend quality time on Akala. I just thought we could watch the sunrise together?" Mallow asked.
Ash blinked.
"Uh oka-"Ash started just to be cut off by a quick kiss to the lips from the green haired girl. Once she pulled back, Ash just looked at her.
"Sorry… Goodbye and good luck kiss hehe?" Mallow said awkwardly.
Ash remembered the last 'goodbye' kiss he got and look how that turned at. But it wasn't right for him to take his anger out on Mallow.
"Right… Still got a thing for me huh?"
"Well it's not just going to disappear overnight. Any who that's not why I wanted to talk." Mallow explained.
Ash titled his head in confusion.
"I met this guy." Mallow started.
Ash thought for the worst here as she started her sentence with I met a guy…
"He was super, erh, different." Mallow finished.
"How so?"
"Talked in mystery, had like anger issues which I found out first hand as I saw him punch a hole in the wall." Mallow told him.
This rang a bell in the back of Ash's head but he couldn't quite pinpoint it.
"And he also had this weird mutant Pokemon! It was like made of like different Pokemon!"
At say this. Ash instantly knew who it was.
"Gladion?" Ash asked carefully.
"Yeah, he said he knew you, Hau and Lillie." Mallow said to him as the sun began to arise over Akala.
Mallow smiled at the sight of the warm colours.
"Hey Mallow?"
"Yes Ash?"
"I just wanted to ask about the next island…" Ash asked without even knowing the name.
"You've been here for a couple of months now and you still don't know the names of the islands yet?" Mallow asked amused.
"I decide to cross that bridge once I get there."
"It's called Ula'Ula Island." She told him.
"What should I expect on there?"
Mallow sighed.
"Ula'Ula contains the final three trials in the island challenge." Mallow told him. "They are a step up in some sense."
"How so?"
"Your first trial is against in my opinion the weakest trial captain. Molayne was the captain, but when he came too old to be one, he passed it down to his cousin, Sophocles who specialises in Electric types."
"I thought the Kahuna picks the trial captains?"
"Ula'Ula is different and I'll get to that. Now to the step up. Your next trial is against a fairy type user named Mina. She is an interesting character… But her trial is going to make you work, I can tell you that much."
"Your final trial is against a girl called Acerola who uses Ghost types. Don't let her cute smile and laugh fool you, that is the first mistake all trial goers do in her trial. Battle wise, she is the strongest out of all the captains that she could even give Olivia or Hala a run for their money."
"What about the Kahuna?" Ash asked.
"Oh him… He is a washup and a drunk. Can't understand why he is still the Kahuna, he doesn't care about anything but himself. You shouldn't have to worry about him."
"Why doesn't the other Island have a trial?" Ash asked as Mallow smiled.
"Due to the tectonic plates underneath Poni Island, its known for its mild shakes and it doesn't help that the water around it is always rough thanks to the island guardian, Tapu Fini or so I have been told. They did have a Kahuna to protect the Alter of the cosmos though…" Mallow explained finishing with a sad look.
Ash figured out the rest and had so many questions.
"How long ago did he?"
"About a month before you arrived here."
"And what is the Alter of the Cosmos?" Ash asked.
"It's said to be the alter the ancient people of Alola built to pray to the legendary Pokemon of the region." Mallow explained.
Ash's eyes widened at the term.
"Legendary… Pokemon?"
"The beast that can devour the Sun and the beast that call the moon."
That phrase gave Ash Goosebumps.
"The Kahuna of the island protects the Alter to ensure nothing bad happens to it." Mallow explained. "It is said that in ancient times, a great disaster threatened Alola when four humans prayed to Arceus for a miracle. There prays were heard and descending down was the beasts to fight back against the unknown threat. The four humans became the first Kahuna's and their partner Pokemon were blessed with god like powers and said to become the Tapu's. Or so the legend goes."
Ash nodded.
Mallow suddenly had a question pop up in her head.
"Hey? You know that Gladion guy?"
"Yeah…" Ash muttered.
"He sort of looks like Lillie. Eh probably not." Mallow pondered.
Ash froze however.
Green eyes, pale skin, light blonde hair.
No way…
He had to be careful with this if he wanted to ask Lillie about this. This was the last thing that he wanted on his mind before the battle with Olivia.
"Right… I should get going…" Ash stuttered and leaving straight away.
"Hey! What?" Mallow yelled confused as Ash ran back to Lana's place to find Hau still asleep.
He groaned and collapsed on the bed, questioning everything he knew about his female companion. He did remember Lillie mention that she had an older brother and how it didn't click before was beyond Ash.
"Calm down Ash. Lillie isn't related to him…" Ash spoke to himself as he saw Torracat awake.
"Hey Torracat. You don't think Lillie is related to Gladion do you?"
"Tor?" the feline responded back confused.
"Just me, alright." Ash said to himself as the cat yawned.
About two hours later, Hau finally woke up.
"(YAWN) Morning…" he announced, still half asleep.
"Yeah, morning…" Ash muttered.
Hau raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong with you?" he questioned.
Ash looked at the door.
"Do you think Lillie and Gladion look similar?" Ash asked.
"I guess." Hau responded, not getting were Ash was leading at.
Ash sighed.
"Never mind… We should get ready. The battle starts today at 10 so we got a few hours."
The duo got ready and made their way to the kitchen to find Lana and Lillie.
Ash didn't know what to say if Lillie really was Gladion's sister.
"Oh morning!" Lillie said to the two boys.
"Morning." Hau said as he munched on a malasada.
"Yeah morning…" Ash muttered.
Lillie raised an eyebrow.
"You okay Ash?" she asked.
"Just nervous, I guess." Ash lied to the blonde.
"I'm sure you'll be fine." Lillie assured.
Ash forced a smile.
Eating breakfast, the four made their way to the battlegrounds, where the stands were at full capacity.
"This is it guys. The grand trial of Akala island!" Lana told them as they saw Kiawe and Mallow walk over.
"Good luck Ash, Hau." Kiawe said to the duo
"Yeah. I know you have want it takes to beat Olivia." Mallow said to them and then turned to Lillie. "You can come and seat with us Lillie."
"Right." Lillie said nodding as the trial captains walked away to their seats. Lillie turned to Ash and Hau.
"Well, good luck guys… I know you can do this!" Lillie said as she gave them both a hug however Ash's was longer than the one she gave to Hau.
Sitting in the stands with a hood over his head was Gladion, who gave a sharp glare at seeing Lillie hug the duo but Ketchum especially.
Lillie left as an announcer appeared.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! WELCOME TO THE AKALA ISLAND GRAND TRIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!" the announcer roared as the crowd roared back.
"Introducing our two challengers! Both hailing from Melemele island, give it up for Ash and Hau!"
The two boys walked on to the stage with the crowd cheering as the trial captains plus Lillie standing up to clap and cheer.
"AND THE ONE AND ONLY! OUR ROCK QUEEN! THE AKALA ISLAND KAHUNA, OLIVIAAAAA!"
The female Kahuna appeared and walked on to the stage as the crowd went nuts.
"Ash. Hau. Welcome to the Akala Island grand trial! Like Hala's grand trial, you will both versus me separately but it will be a 3 on 3 battle!" Olivia told the duo. "You may decide among yourselves who goes first."
"I went first last time against my grandpa, so you can go first if you want." Hau offered.
Ash nodded.
"I'll be the first to battle." Ash announced as Hau left the stage.
The referee took his place.
"This is the grand trial of Akala island! The battle will be contended between Kahuna Olivia and Island trial goer Ash! It will a three on three battle and the winner will be decided when one trainers Pokemon are all knocked out! Trainers! Bring out your first Pokemon!" the referee announced as they both reached for a pokeball.
(Play Island Kahuna theme here).
"Go Dartrix!" Ash shouted.
"Graveler! Time for a grand trial!" Olivia shouted louder.
The bird appeared as did Graveler. However, to Ash's surprise, it was an Alolan Graveler. It was slightly greyer and had black and yellow crystals growing out of its body. The said black crystals formed a unibrow above its eyes and stuck out of its arms.
"Alolan Graveler, the rock Pokemon. Its preferred food is dravite, which is the source of its power. The rocks it eats has risen through its body and is now visible on the surface. It is currently the only known Pokemon to have the type combo of rock and electric. This is the Alolan variant of the kanto form."
"Erg. Electric huh… At lease thanks to Dartrix grass typing we should be safe-ish." Ash muttered to himself.
"Graveler, crush that bird with rock throw!" Olivia commanded as the Alolan form Graveler formed two rocks and threw them straight at Dartrix.
"Dodge and then use Leafage!"
Dartrix acrobatically leaped out of the way and proceeded to fling the razor-sharp leaves at Graveler.
"Use spark to burn them to a crisp!"
"GRAV!" Graveler laughed as he fired off the blast of electric energy, turning the leaves into nothing but black dust.
"Fly up and over, firing as many energy balls as possible!" Ash told his starter who flew up and began shooting off the attack.
Two or three hit Graveler clean on while managing to swat away a few.
Dartrix landed behind him and used a powerful leafage at point blank range.
Graveler grunted as he felt the leaves on his back.
"Why isn't Olivia doing anything?" Hau questioned as he and Lillie looked confused.
"You'll see shortly." Kiawe piped up.
Olivia smirked.
"Graveler! Rolling double thunder!" Olivia commanded. Ash stepped back when hearing this.
Graveler formed a ball and began rolling around Dartrix faster and faster. When he stopped, both Ash and Dartrix realised that he had used double team during the roll out. All the clones plus the real one jumped up as one of their hands glowed with electric energy. One by one the clones faded on contact with Dartrix until the real one slammed his fist into Dartrix's chest, electrocuting him from the powerful thunder punch. Dartrix landed in front of Ash and got up slowly.
Ash grunted as he saw Dartrix panting heavily.
"Synthesis!"
Dartrix glowed with a green aura as all his injuries faded away.
"Leaf blade!" Ash yelled as Dartrix flew towards Graveler with his wings glowing green.
"Graveler wait for it!" Olivia yelled.
Dartrix got closer as Graveler had yet to move thanks to his trainer's order.
"NOW! Grab him with thunder-punch!"
"Fly to the side!"
Dartrix flew on his side as his bottom wing smashed into Graveler while his thunder-punch electrocuted Dartrix thanks to a small nic he got. Dartrix landed on the ground suffering from paralysis. Graveler got up wobbly.
"End this with a bang! Self-destruct!" Olivia shouted as Ash's eyes widened with Graveler glowing white and smirking.
"DARTR-"
BOOOOM!
The self-destruct went off as the smoke cloud passed with both Graveler and Dartrix out cold.
"Both Pokemon are unable to battle. Trainers, bring out your next Pokemon!" the ref said to the duo.
"Salandit!"
"Minior!"
This Pokemon was completely new to Ash. It was covered in what looked with rock armour with five points like a star, popping out of it.
"Minior, the meteor Pokemon. Originally making its home within the ozone layer, it will fall to the ground when the rock like shell covering its body gets too heavy. Said shell can take heavy impacts before finally breaking."
Meanwhile, in a tall tree that towered over the battle, hidden within the shadows, was a small Pokemon with glowing red eyes.
"Minior! Swift!" Olivia shouted.
"Burn the swift with flame burst!" Ash called out.
Salandit spat out the fire as it easily burnt through the swift with little sparkles flowing past her face.
"Stealth rocks!"
Minior glowed as hundreds of little sharp rocks were spread around Salandit.
"Use toxic to get rid of them!"
Salandit spewed out the toxic substance as fast as possible.
"NOW! Ancient power!"
Minior glowing again, lifted about 5 rocks with fossils inside of them and flung them over to Salandit, crashing all around her. One landed right in front of her, sending her back and landing on the stealth rock that was behind her. Salandit cried in pain.
"Swift again!" Olivia shouted.
Minior created the stars and fired them at Salandit.
"Come on Salandit! Get up and use burn the swift again!"
"Confuse ray!"
Ash had to come up with something fast otherwise Salandit was going to be in a world of trouble.
An idea popped into his mind on how to get rid of the confusion.
"Salandit! Brace yourself for the swift!"
Olivia raised an eyebrow in confusion as Salandit was pelted with the swift, creating a dust cloud with the ones that hit the ground instead.
"What is he doing?" Lana questioned.
"I don't know…" Hau responded. Lana blushed because of this.
Everyone in the crowd questioned what he was doing. Everyone but Gladion, who had an idea on what Ketchum was up to.
Ash began to laugh.
"Huh?" Olivia blurted out confused.
"By allowing Salandit to take the hit of the swift, the ones that missed her made a mini dust cloud. Meaning the confuse ray would have blown out when entering meaning!" Ash explained.
"MINIOR! BRACE YOURSELF!" Olivia yelled.
"Sludge bomb!"
The bomb of poison exploded over Minior, leaving the meteor Pokemon poisoned.
"So, you managed to get the poison up on Minior huh?" Olivia yelled out. "No matter! Minior! Activate shields down!"
"Shields what?" Ash muttered as the shell on Minior cracked apart revealing a bright pink star like Pokemon with swirly eyes. "What the!?"
Rotom appeared.
"That is the Miniors core! It's ability shields down cracks apart the shell it was in, lowering its defences but increase its speed and attack!" Rotom explained.
"We still have some fight left in us! Ancient power!" Olivia called out as the rocks were flung at Salandit.
"Dodge them and then use dragon rage!"
Salandit slipped past two of the rocks with a third hitting near her side, with rocks blasting over her, but she was still fine to attack. She let loose the dragon energy right at Minior with the rock flying type falling to the ground, struggling to fly back up.
"Flame burst! Point blank range!"
"Minior! Protect!"
Olivia's Pokemon used protect just in time as the flames submerged the protect which surely would have left Minior out cold.
Salandit stopped as the protect faded with Minior now retaining some energy to fly.
"Dragon rage!"
"Ancient power!"
The two attacks collided but the dragon type move pierced through the rocks as Minior crashed into the ground but this time failed to get up as Olivia returned it.
"The Kahuna's second Pokemon is unable to battle! Kahuna Olivia, bring out your final Pokemon!" the ref called out.
Olivia grabbed her final pokeball which was an ultra-ball.
"Well old friend, time for action yet again! Go Lycanroc!" Olivia called out as she threw the ball with a Lycanroc appearing.
However, unlike Kukui's Lycanroc, this one stood on two legs, was white and a blood like red colour and had its mane flowing over its head like an emo haircut.
"Lycanroc's midnight form! The professors one is the midday form. Thought I'd just let you know…" Rotom said.
Ash turned back to the red, viscous wolf Pokemon.
"Lycanroc, quick attack then rock throw!"
Lycanroc zoomed at Salandit, smashing her with it's paw and then hit her into the good due to the rock throw.
Salandit titled it's head out cold.
"The trainers Pokemon is unable to battle! Challenge Ash! Please bring out your final Pokemon!" the ref asked as Ash reached for his pokeball.
"Go Stufful!"
The little bear appeared and roared.
"Pew?" Nebby cried at seeing his friend in battle.
"That's enough from you!" Lillie scowled.
"Pix?" Vulpix yawned.
Curiosity got the better of Mallow and the after Ash left her hanging on this morning, she had to know more.
"Hey Lillie?" Mallow said, yelling across Hau and Kiawe.
"What's up?"
"Did you by happen to know a guy called Gladion by any chance?" Mallow asked.
Lillie dropped the bag that had both Nebby and Vulpix in it and rushed over to Mallow, grabbing her by her shirt.
"WHERE DID YOU HEAR THAT NAME!?" she screamed desperately.
"Lillie! Calm down!" Kiawe said trying to rip Lillie apart from Mallow.
"Jeez! If you're going to be so sensitive about it why don't you ask your boyfriend and Hau!" Mallow sneered as she returned focus to the battle.
Lillie turned to Hau, who gave a nervous squeak.
She picked up her bag and stormed off.
"Lillie!" Lana cried out. "Should we stop her?"
"If she wants to be a drama queen over a name, then let her be." Mallow said with no interest now.
The third battle was about to begin until Ash caught in the corner of his eye Lillie storming off.
"What the…?" he muttered.
"Ash!" Olivia called out as he regained attention to the battle. "Shall we start?"
Ash gave one more glance at where Lillie had left too. He shook his head and then nodded at Olivia.
"Lycanroc! Rock tomb to slow Stufful down!"
"Use brick flail to knock them back!" Ash commanded, shacking Lillie off his mind for now.
With his front legs glowing orange, Stufful used flail and swatted the rocks away.
"Swords dance then quick attack!"
Lycanroc powered up with the swords dance and then zoomed right into Stufful. The bear was flung back but got straight up.
"Sand attack!" Olivia shouted as Lycanroc kicked up the sand towards the bear.
"Flail!"
Ash knew that Stufful always closes his eyes when using flail so the sand attack didn't effect him.
"Bite!" Olivia yelled.
"Brick break!" Ash yelled back.
Due to Lycanroc's speed, he managed to latch on to Stufful, biting down hard on his side. The bear freed himself with brick break, hitting the wolf in the neck.
"Lycanroc! It's time!" Olivia shouted as she slammed down on her Z-ring with brown aura surrounding Lycanroc.
Ash grunted.
Olivia got down on one knee and turned while flexing her arm muscles. Lycanroc did the same as the ground began to rumble.
"Lycanroc! USE CONTINENTAL CRUSH!" Olivia commanded a Lycanroc howled into the air as the crowd roared in excitement.
Rocks began to circle around Lycanroc as the moulded together, quickly creating a giant boulder. Lycanroc quickly revealed to be under the boulder as he flung it right Stufful to crush the bear.
Ash slammed his Z-ring as Stufful glowed orange.
"ALL OUT PLUMMELING!"
Stufful fired the punches at the giant boulder to knock some rocks off but the rock fell right on the bear.
"STUFFUL!" Ash yelled as the boulder faded.
Hau, Mallow, Kiawe and Lana watched in horror.
Lycanroc landed back in front of Olivia.
The cloud of dust that was created faded away as everyone their including Ash and Olivia gasped. Stufful was still standing but barely.
"Stufful isn't giving up then we have to win!" Ash thought to himself.
"Impressive that it's not flattened! But no matter! Finish this with rock throw!" Olivia shouted as Lycanroc grabbed a piece of the boulder and threw it at Stufful.
"STUFFUL! DODGE!" Ash cried out as the little bear could barely move.
But Stufful gave a determined look.
As the rock made contact with Stufful, he stood on his two back legs and caught the rock with his front legs, not moving an inch.
At that point, Stufful cried out loud which began to get deeper as his body glowed.
Olivia grunted as everyone gasped.
Stufful grew bigger and bigger as the rock slowly cracked apart. Once the glowing had finished, the new Pokemon crushed the rock like it was nothing.
"Stufful evolved!" Hau shouted.
"BEEEEWA!" Stufful's evolution cried out loud.
It's whole body minus its head, tail and paws was black. It stood on two legs with two strong looking arms with pink paw prints on them. It's tail was long and is striped with pink and light pink. The evolutions head was also pink with a white band stretching across its head with two tuffs of fur sticking out at each end to mimic ears. It kept Stuffuls simple face of the simple black dots for eyes and bear like mouth.
Rotom appeared to assist Ash.
"Bewear, the strong arm Pokemon. Bewear is an extremely dangerous Pokemon to train due to it over whelming strength, allowing to punch and crush solid objects with ease."
Ash smiled.
"Bewear! Use brick break!" Ash commanded.
"BEW!" Bewear roared and instead used a brand-new move, hammer arm. He slammed right into Lycanroc as the wolf grunted in pain.
"Take down!"
"Endure!"
Bewear again slammed into Lycanroc with great force as the wolf endured the attack.
"Bite it!" Olivia said to her Pokemon as Lycanroc bit on to Bewear's arm as hard as he could.
"Smash it!"
Bewear slammed Lycanroc on to the ground, making mini crater. Lycanroc coughed slightly as Bewear hit him again and again. He grabbed the wolf and gave it a large hug, crushing the poor thing as he then threw the knocked out Pokemon on the ground.
"The Kahuna's last Pokemon is unable to battle which means the challenger, Ash has won the grand trail of Akala Island!" The referee announced.
The crowd roared in excitement.
Olivia returned Lycanroc and smiled at it's pokeball.
"We did it!" Ash celebrated as Dartrix and Salandit cheered as well with the little energy they recovered after fainting. Ash let Torracat out to celebrate as well.
However, at that point, all four of them felt themselves be picked up by Bewear and given a large bear hug.
"TORRR!" Torracat complained as Dartrix and Salandit fainted again from the excessive force.
"BEWE-Bewear! What are you doing!?" Ash croaked.
"Oh yeah forgot to mention." Rotom laughed "Bewear are known for their large and over powerful bear hugs which can lead to broken bones!"
"OH! NOW YOU TELL ME!" Ash screamed as Bewear let go.
"Ash. Congratulations on completing the grand trial of Akala Island! Your reward, the rockium-Z to give you access to the Z Move, Continental crush. Your next adventure will be on Ula'Ula Island." Olivia explained as she grabbed three new pokeballs to fight Hau with.
Ash returned his Pokemon including his brand new Bewear, to watch Hau battle.
And like Ash, Hau managed to successfully beat Olivia with just using Brionne and Raichu.
The crowd disappeared as Gladion flowed in with it as the trial captains, Olivia, Hau and Ash were all that were left.
"I should probably go find Lillie." Ash said concerned. "I haven't see her like that ever before."
"Ash… Um, she may know about Gladion…" Mallow muttered slightly.
Ash heard this and began to run towards Lana's place. Everyone else followed.
Lillie was leaving the house with a packed backpack and the bag she carries Nebby in.
"Pew? Pew!?" Nebby pewed.
"Nebby please. Just be quiet!" Lillie shouted as the space cloud sunk deep into the bag.
"LILLIE!" a male voice she knew too well called out.
She turned around to find both Ash running towards her. Ash saw that she was crying as her makeup was running down her face.
"Remember when we said we were always going to be honest with each other!?" Lillie screamed.
"Lillie calm down. Please!" Ash told her sternly.
"Oh! Don't play dumb with me Ash! Does he still have it? That abomination that clawed his face up!" Lillie screamed even louder. "Yeah, I know about that thing!"
That was clearly a reference to Type: Null.
"Lillie, calm down. Please. I can explain!" Ash said as calm as possible.
"Does Gladion ring a bell? Does it Ash?"
"I may of ran into a Gladion once or twice…" Ash muttered.
At this point, Hau, Mallow, Kiawe, Lana and Olivia had arrived to find the two arguing. Mallow hid behind the Kahuna as it began to rain slightly.
"Either you have or you haven't!" Lillie yelled getting closer to him.
"You really are that dense! We have the same skin colour, same eye colour, same hair colour!? If that didn't give it away, I don't know what would!"
"You said he has been gone for 2 years and you weren't sure if was in Alola or not. Well, he is! You could have at least told me his name!" Ash argued.
"Oh! So, this is my fault!?" Lillie yelled, not listening to reason and letting her emotions take over.
"I didn't say that!" Ash yelled back.
"Guys?" Hau muttered.
"STAY OUT OF THIS!" they both screamed at the same time.
"Pew?" Nebby pewd.
"Can you shut that dumb fucking cloud up!" Ash yelled. "I'm sick and tired of it! All it does is pew this and pew that!"
"Well, at least I didn't get kicked out of my own home region FOR BEING A FAILURE!" Lillie yelled.
That last part echoed through Ash's head as he fell to his knees.
"I'm going to Ula'Ula Island. Goodbye." Lillie hissed as she stormed off.
"Lillie! Wait!" Lana yelled as she and Olivia ran off after the girl.
"Ash?" Hau muttered.
"Just leave me alone Hau…" Ash requested.
Hau and Kiawe looked at each other concerned.
Mallow ran off crying, regretting everything she had said.
"Let's go…" Ash moped.
Again, from high up within the shadows of the trees, the same Pokemon as before watched the whole scene with sole focus on Ash but decided to follow Lillie for now as it dived into the depths of the shadows.
Author's note: I'm nearly finished exams and then 3 weeks off to write lots of stuff.
The end is plot, so put down the pitchforks. It's still a LillieXAsh story, don't worry. Moments are coming.
Stufful evolved as well along with a strange pokemon watching from the shadows...
I haven't done this in awhile, but going to anwser some questions that were left.
So what's your opinion on Pokémon Gold and Silver on the Virtual Console?
Looking forward to them (more that I was with Red, Blue and Yellow) and getting all the hidden abilities. I guess that also explains why the beasts got theirs changed.
What Team I'm going with this time round.
Not sure. Will swap it up. I won't use Litten this time cause that was what I chose for Sun and I've used Popplio as well (Yes Rowlet is my least favorite out of the three). My original team was Incineroar, Bewear, Salazzle, A-Ninetales, Mimikyu and Solgaleo. So Ima try and change it except Mimikyu, that is going on the team ASAP.
NOW NEXT Chapter is the traitor chapter. Probably the most asked question I have received since day one. A question I've been asked for the last 7 and a half months is FINALLY About to be answered. Its been mentioned over the previous 26 chapters over 65 times.
And now you have to wait for it :P
So till next time, review, suggest or PM me! Spectre out!
