Author's Notes: This story that I setting up at the moment is to get Lillie her self-confidence better, in a faster matter than the games did. I doubt that this would really bother many people, but I am going to still say it. I see it as Lillie being a better traveling ally to Tyler, kind of like Misty or Serina. Besides that, I have nothing else to say. I am also sorry that this had taken so long for me to finish this. I have been busy with other things in my life.
Tyler and Lillie were heading on their way to the Trainer's school, when a strange looking Pokemon came hopping by, trying to get away from a Youngster Trainer. Its Light Blue Flame looked dim, with its green eyes looking tired. The small candle Pokemon ran behind Lillie, scared out of its mind.
"Hey. Get out the way. That's my Pokemon!" The Youngster came in running, holding a Pokeball and a Yungoose. "I was going to catch it!"
Tyler looked at the young boy, after looking at the hurt Pokemon. "It seems as if the Pokemon doesn't want to be with you though. I don't think you are fit to train it." Tyler pulled out the Aphrodite ball from his bag. "Can you please leave now?"
The Youngster looked at Tyler, then ran away. Tyler put away the Pokeball, and turned to Lillie. "Is it going to be okay?"
Lillie was pulling a berry out of her bag, and give it to the small Pokemon. It looked scared, but still ate the berry. It started to look better after eating the berry, and started to warm up to Lillie. It jumped up and down in happiness. It had started to rub against Lillie's leg, showing its affection and appreciation towards here. "I guess it is feeling better now."
Tyler looked down and the small Pokemon and laughed, then pulled out his Pokedex. He scanned it to see if he could get information on it, but all he could get was that the name, gender, and typing. "So this is a Litwick. A male at that." Tyler looked back at Lillie and the Litwick to see her playing with it. "I guess he really likes you. Do you want to keep him?"
Lillie looked down at the Litwick, see it have a look of wanting to be with her in its eyes. "I guess I will, but I don't know how well it would fit in my bag with Nebby and everything in there." She looked into her bag, checking for anything that she could either push aside or get rid of.
Tyler looked down at her, and pulled out a Pokeball. "Or, you could capture him in a Pokeball." Tyler motioned for Lillie to talk the Pokeball. "It seems as if it wants you to keep it, and this is how most people usually capture Pokemon."
Lillie looked back at Tyler, and then at the happy Litwick. "I'm not sure that he will like to be in a ball."
Tyler closed his eyes and shook his head while sighing. "Let's see if it is what he wants." Tyler put the Pokeball in Lillie's hand. "Capture him in the ball. If he escapes, then I shall help you with your bag sorting, showing that he doesn't want to be in the ball. If he does, then he will stay in the ball, and he shall belong to you."
Lillie looked back at Tyler in concern, but gave up her argument, knowing that she would never win. She stood up, clenching onto the ball. Her, not wanting to hurt it, drops and rolls the ball to the Litwick, hitting it. The Litwick turned into energy and goes into the ball. The ball instantly clicks close, showing that it wants to stay with her. Lillie picked up the ball, with a tiny bit of confidence and triumph, held the Pokeball to her face. "You caught him now. Are you going to name him?"
Lillie looked at the Pokeball, and thought for a bit. "I shall name him, Ahi. It just sounds like a good name for him." Lillie put the Pokeball into her bag with Nebby, with Nebby playing with it.
"Okay then. Let's keep on going to the school." Tyler and Lillie continued on their way to the school. They finally get there to the school, as they look at each other.
"Well, I guess I shall see you later. This is your quest, so I think you should go in by yourself. I'll be out here."
"Okay then." Tyler gave Lillie a soft smile and waved to her as her walked into the school. It wasn't even a minuet before a teacher came out, bringing out Tyler with her. "No, No, NO! I don't care about the new laws. This is a school. You must be in appropriate clothing. Come back in clothes, or don't come back at all." The teacher closed the door behind her, almost slamming them.
"Well, I guess I can't continue on without any clothes. You wouldn't happen to have any in my size in your bag, would you?" Tyler pointed at Lillie's bag.
"No I wouldn't have. We would have to head to town to get you some clothing. Follow me." Lillie took Tyler by the hand, pulling him along to Hau'oli City. She took him to the clothing store, with Tyler having a dissatisfied look on his face. They went inside, picking out a simple pair of clothing. They had walked back to the Trainer's school after that.
"Can you come inside with me and help me with this? I feel embarrassed, being forced to wear clothes." Tyler looked down at his clothing in embarrassment. "You have your own Pokemon, so you could be of some help."
Lillie looked a tiny bit confused by it all, for she didn't understand how Tyler was feeling about being forced to just wear clothes at all. "Okay then. I shall go in with you for moral support, but nothing more."
The two of them went back inside, just to run back into the same teacher. "At least you are now dressed nicely. We can start this part of your Island Challenge. There will be a few students around the school. You will battle them until you beat them all. Come back here when you have finished." The teacher turned back to her book that she was reading.
Tyler and Lillie went to an area where the little kids were situated, with a little girl walking up to them, holding Pokeball. "I am the first one. I shall defeat you." The preschooler threw out her Bonsly.
"Okay then. Let's battle." Tyler threw out Aphrodite, only a foot away from the Bonsly, who started to cry. This made Aphrodite feel bad, and lower her guard. "Aphrodite, just use Bubbles. It is a trick." Aphrodite looked at Tyler with confusion, but then looked forward and shot out some bubbles at the Bonsly. The Bonsly looked very hurt after the hit, but held on. It looked as if it was nearly on the verge of fainting.
"What? Why did that work? It looks like a tree. Isn't a grass type." Lillie was trying to understand what was happening in the battle.
"First off, I thought you didn't like battles. Secondly, look at the 'leaves'. They look hard, almost like rocks. I have no doubt that this is a rock type." Tyler was pointing at the green balls on the head of Bonsly.
Lillie took a flustered look on her face. "Well, yeah. I don't like the battling thing that most Pokemon are forced to do, but you just surprised me. That's it."
The preschooler looked relived. "Yeah, you survived the hit. Use Flail to hit them harder." The Bonsly started to hump around franticly, finally ramming into Aphrodite. Aphrodite took the hit hard, for it got critically hit. Aphrodite looked pissed off, yelling a loud noise at the Bonsly. The Bonsly was hit backwards from the sound wave, fainting. The preschooler went over and picked up the Bonsly, looking at Tyler. "You meanie. You're a big jerk." The preschooler ran off, crying a bit.
"I'm not sure if I should have saw that coming or not." Lillie looked through her bag, as Tyler was petting Aphrodite. "You did really good at that battle. Do you think you could do that ever again?" Lillie came up from behind him, handing him a potion. "Hey thanks."
"It isn't that big of a thing I'm doing for you. I just wanted your Pokemon to be healed up." Lillie looked back, zipping up her bag. "Let's just get to your next battle."
Tyler put Aphrodite back into her ball, grabbing back onto his bag. He put on his bag onto his back, feeling his shirt rid up on him. "I can't wait for this to all be over with. I truly hate this stuff on me."
The pair walked to the side of the school, were they could see a pair of trainers outside of the school. "Look there Lillie. I believe that one of them must be the next fight. Let's head out there." Tyler pushed open the door, running outside of the school. "Hey! Are one of you the trainer I need to battle to beat the School Trial?"
The youngster looked at Tyler with a grin on his face. "We both are, but we decided to do something smart. We decided that the way to win would be to team up. So if you want to battle, you need a partner also."
Tyler looked over at Lillie with a look a plea. "Come on Lillie. I need to someone to help me battle."
Lillie looked away. "I already told you that I won't do any battles. Besides, who would I even use to fight with?"
"You do have Ahi." Tyler made a gesture to Lillie's bag. "And come on. It would only be this one time." Tyler looked at Lillie, trying to use the move Baby-Doll Eyes.
"Fine, but you really owe me. Big time. And Ahi will be the only one to ever fight for this one time. I shall never use Nebby for anything like this." Lillie looked at Ahi's Pokeball as she pulled it out.
Author's Notes: I shall start work on the next Chapter as soon as possible. I'm sorry for the cliff hanger at the moment. And, if you couldn't tell, the Litwick Lillie owns is a shiny. Don't expect many shinies in this series though. Also, Tyler and Lillie will be helping each other out a lot, but they will be bickering between them, just from how their personalities are. I won't make it unbearable, but it shall show up quite a bit.
