The legendary Pokémon known as Lunala hovered above two girls. One of them was name Lillie, a girl with green eyes, blond hair tied into a ponytail, wearing a sailor uniform along with a skirt with baby blue stripes and white shoes that match everything else. She was currently speaking to the legendary Pokémon.

Meanwhile, Trainer Moon, a girl with solid black, short black hair and a red flower hat with a white poke ball symbol etched in the middle, which sat comfortably on her head. She wore a yellow Hawaiian shirt with colorful stars, green shorts, and shoes that resembled a Litten.

She quietly stood in back from the two and was listening carefully to the conversation between her friend and the Pokémon. Although, Moon couldn't understand Pokémon speech nor their signals. Still, she found it interesting that her friend knew what the legendary Pokémon in front of her was saying.

"Mahina-a-ahhh!" Lunala roared towards Lillie, she closed her eyes and shook her head in response. Lillie reopened her eyes, which showed sadness as she stared back at Lunala.

"But not with me… I'm not a trainer, Nebby. I can't take you on the adventures you want. I can't give you the fierce battles you want. "Lillie turned around and looked deeply into Moon's eyes.

"Moon… I want you to face Nebby as only a trainer can. And I want you to give it a ball to call home." The young trainer nodded slowly with sadden eyes. She knew Lillie was doing her best to give what Nebby wants.

"If that's what you want me to do Lillie, then I'll do it." Lillie smiled sadly at her dearest friend. Her friend that she cared about immensely. She knows deep down that Nebby would be better off with a powerful trainer.

"I know this is what Nebby wants… It doesn't want this journey with you to end. And I want you to grant it this wish!" Moon only nodded slowly back as she grabbed one of her poke balls out of her small bag.

Lillie walked further back for safety. The Pokémon battle was going to be intense, and she doesn't want to be in the crossfire.

With quick reflexes, Moon threw out her poke ball and in a white flash of light appeared her most powerful Pokémon, her Incineroar.

A big red cat Pokémon that stood on two feet with black stripes on his tail, legs, and arms. His whole body minus the legs, head, and arms, was grey while the rest was red.

The cat Pokémon even had a fire-like champion's belt. The entire Pokémon resembled a wrestler pretty much.

Lillie smiled, "A powerful, healthy Pokémon in the hands of a powerful…beautiful trainer…" she blushed at the thought.

She shook her head to get rid of the thought as she watched in amazement at the battle between her best friend and Nebby. It was a fierce battle between the two, with moon even sweating abet.

Still, even in an intense battle, she kept that smile that Lillie loved.

"Moony has the best smiles." The pale girl whispered. She had always enjoyed her smiles ever since she saw her battle. Her smile has forever been etched inside her mind. Her favorite ones were the smiles that directed at her only.

The butterflies in her heart would flutter whenever her black-haired friend smiled at her. Her Eyes were beautiful as well. She will never get tired of staring at those eyes. Staring into those soft black eyes was like looking straight at a full moon on a clear night sky.

"Nebby will be happy with its new trainer, my beautiful Moon." Lilies pleasant thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of an aggravated trainer. She almost forgot about the battle! Lillie shook her head off any more thoughts. Her attention was back on the action.

"Nebbbbbyyyy pleaseeee stay in the ball!" The trainer yelled in frustration. Even her Incineroar was getting frustrated as well.

"Mahina-a-ahhahahahahah!" Lunala screamed as it moves its head up and down.

"Is it laughing at me?!" Moon puffed up her cheeks, clearly embarrassed by the whole situation. Lillie, on the other hand, burst out laughing from how adorable Moon looked.

Usually, Lillie was the one who puffed her cheeks up, not the other way around. This was way too cute.

She tried to minimize the noise by covering her mouth with one hand, but it was useless, her laughs were still loud enough for her embarrassed friend to hear.

Nebby was one thing, but for Lillie to laugh at her too was too much for the young trainer to handle, her blush deepened even further red if that was possible.

Moon swiftly turned towards her friend to yell, "D-don't laugh at me too Lillie!"

After a few seconds of laughing, Lillie managed to calm herself, "I'm sorry heh just the look on your face was priceless heheh." She continued to giggle, "But I thought you were a pro trainer Moon, capturing Nebby should be easy as baking a Poké Puff."

Lillie felt a little sorry for calling Moon out like this, but she was just doing what any other good friend would do, and that was to enrage her, just enough until she was motivated, which worked.

The trainer's intense blush faded away, leaving only a smirk on her face. Her eyes were sharp as a swellow. "I WILL CAPTURE YOU NEBBY!"

After an intense battle, Nebby was weakened enough to be captured, so in a hurry Moon threw a poke ball at the legendary Pokémon, which bounce on his head.

An orange beam shot out of the poke ball and engulfed Nebby in the bright orange light. Following that, the orange ray retracting back inside the ball taking Nebby with it.

Still, in midair, the ball fell to the ground with a small thump.

It wasn't over yet; the ball beeped as it continued to shake around until the red beeping came to an end, signaling the capture of Nebby. The Ultimate battle between the legendary Pokémon and trainer was over.

"FINALLY! That took way to long, but I have to admit that Nebby did put up a good fight," she said as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Moon returned her exhausted Incineroar back into his poke ball.

"He wouldn't stay in the darn ball for 5 seconds." After placing Incineroar's poke ball back in her bag, she searched for any empty poke balls but found none.

"Oh, darn it I wasted them all." Moon puffed up her cheeks which made Lillie giggled.

"How does she manage to get him in her bag so easily?" Moon shook her head. It wasn't the time to think about that right now.

"Oh yeah, almost forgot." The young trainer picked up Nebby's ball and hand it out to the blonde who approached her, which Lillie quickly shook her head

Moon slowly moved her arm down to her side.

Lillie reopened her eyes just a second before she turned her back towards Moon and reclosed them. She was thinking carefully about her words

With a soft voice, she spoke, "Lunala… No… Nebby. Nebby you belong with Moon now. She will be the one to raise you. Just like any parent should raise their child. She will be your mother now." The trainer sighed sadly at what was going on, but she let her friend continue, not wanting to interrupt her.

"I may not have been able to anything for you, Nebby… but I'm still glad I took you that day." A lone tear slid down her cheek, "So go with Moon and see the world! Have battles against strong Pokémon where you can use your full power. Meet other trainers who will make your heart dance with the thrill of it all…" Lillie's voice wavered, she tried her best to be happy but, on the inside, she felt dread for leaving Nebby.

She choked on her words while more tears started to trickle down her cheek, making its way towards the ground, "That's the kind of world Moon can share with you!" Lillie immediately wiped away her tears and try with all of her willpower to sound happy, "If it's you, Moon… I know I can trust you to raise my Nebby well. Take good car- "her voice went silent when a pair of arms hug her stomach from behind.

"M-moon…"

"Shhh, it's my turn to speak now."

"W-what." The trainer used her left hand to caress her friend's belly which made Lillie blush.

"Lillie please stop doubting yourself."

"B-but"

"I know you fully well Lillie. I can see that you're hurt on the inside and I can see in your eyes that you don't want to leave Nebby either."

"I-I j-just want N-nebby to live a happy life doing w-what it wants, and that is b-battling strong op-ponets."

"Lillie… Nebby is already enjoying his life because of you. You saved him from being experimented on and then treated it with care like a mother would for her child. You gave it food, shelter, and most importantly… You gave Nebby Love."

Lillie stayed silent as fresh new tears came down.

"You have done so much for Lunala, for Nebby. Sure, Nebby may love to battle but it loves you more than that by a mile, and I know it wants to go with you." Moon opened her right hand.

"Look down Lillie." Lillie complied by looking down to see a poke ball on her palm.

"It's Nebby's poke ball" Her partner lightly touched the poke ball with the most up care as if it was the most precious thing in the world. "Lillie, me and you, we can raise it together. In a way, we'll be like parents to Nebby. We can travel together to other places far and wide, battling strong trainers and Pokémon while simultaneously taking good care of OUR Nebby."

While hearing all of this, Lillie slowly laid her left hand on top of Moon's hand which was still caressing her belly. The trainer took note of how soft, and warm Lillie's hand was.

"We...we can be a little family heh. Living together one day… in a- in a house, I'm sure Nebby would love that idea." The love in her voice unleashed fresh new tears that drip down her cheeks onto the shiny surface of the poke ball.

She couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe it in a million years that someone would love her this much. Moon, the trainer who helped her so much. The trainer that saved Nebby from those flock of spearows, even when she was captured and taken to Aether paradise, she still came to her aid.

She battled through the Aether employees and the many Team Skull grunts, all for… her… for her sake. Moon could've just left after all of that and continued to battle other trainers. Instead, she traveled with her through this small journey to save her mother.

Lillie smiled to herself as she calmly took the wet poke ball out of her hands. Still, in her arms, Moon could feel her body was slowly becoming less tense by the second and in a full minute Moon could feel the worriedness from the other girl fade away. What was left was a calm, relaxed person.

The trainer opened her arms to let the other girl go, slowly Lillie turned around and showed Moon her brightest smile with natural loving eyes that made the other girl's heart tick a few beats faster.

For a moment, they continued to stare at each other, until Lillie slowly closed her eyes and was leaning in slowly.

Moon was confused. She didn't understand what the other girl was doing.

"Uh, Lillie what ar- "she was interrupted when the blondie used both of her arms to latched on to Moon's soft shoulders and planted a firmed quick kiss on to Moon's lips which of course caught her off guard. Even if it was a quick kiss, it felt like she was in a spectacular wonderland at that very moment.

Before she can deepen the kiss, her wonderland went away as Lillie retreated and quickly looked away. A colossal blush covered her entire face, and her sensitive nature came back full force too.

Moon, however, was in a similar state, but instead of being nervous and shy, she showed it differently with her mouth left in agape. Her face showed how surprise she was about all of this.

However, inside of her mind was entirely different than what she was portraying outside.

"Oh Arceus, that kiss felt so good that I never wanted it to end; matter of fact, I would trade a master ball if I could get Lillie to kiss me again… Wait why does my tongue feel rather dry… Oh no."

She quickly realized her mouth was left open, in an instant, she closed it. "Crud, I need to say something before she thinks something different!" Unfortunately, she was too late when she saw the sadden look on Lillie's face

Lillie felt dejected at her decision. She didn't want to look at Moon's face any longer without feeling ashamed. She deliberately looked down to stare at her feet.

Moon could see the crestfallen expression etch onto her face. The trainer tried to speak but was beaten first by her friend. "I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that." Lillie whispered, apparently hiding the sadness behind her voice.

Moon could hear that sad, defeated tone in her voice, which made her heart clench in sadness. But what stab her heart more was her eyes.

Lillie was trying to hold back her tears. She couldn't let this happen again.

"Why did I press my stupid lips on to her…soft, smooth, plump lips…" Lillie faintly shook her head. "N-o I shouldn't be thinking of my friend like that! What am I goin- "

Lillie's thoughts broke when a pair of lips smashed into her own. Soft arms wrapped around her body, it felt like a blanket. Then she realized that Moon was kissing her! This sent her mind into haywire as she blushed like crazy. Her thoughts were disappearing, and then her brain shuts down.

Moon retracted the kiss with a light blush covering her face, "See I do love yo- uh Lillie are you okay?!" she exclaimed after Lillie's body fell towards her.

"Wait did she Faint?! Oh, c'mon Lillie! You're not exactly light enough for me to carry you." She sighed until she heard small snores coming from the blondie. She couldn't help but smile; it was too cute and adorable, Moon had never seen her snore before. That gave her more teasing material.

She sighed, "What am I going to do with you heh." She picked Lillie up bridal style, "Now, where should we go? Hmmm." As if on cue, Lillie answered.

"I want to… see my… mother." Lillie muttered in her asleep.

Moon stared into her closed eyes, "Well I guess that answer my question." She stared into the sky," Onward to Aether paradise!"
