Clouds
As always, it was a nice day in the Alola region. The sky was blue, and lots of puffy white clouds dotted the sky. Every time a cloud passed over the sun it would give the Alolan people a bit of shade, but just looking at the clouds was relaxing despite the scorching sun.
Near the beach, two young Pokemon Trainers were lying down on the roof of a sturdy home. Professor Kukui had never caught Ash and Lillie climb up to the roof, so they were safe for now.
Lillie, who had her sunhat placed atop her chest, pointed up. "Ash, look! Aren't the clouds pretty today?"
Ash also had his hat in the same position as Lillie's, but his arms were behind his head in a relaxed pose. "Yeah. I always liked these kinds of clouds... they look like the wings of Swablu and really soft!"
The girl giggled at the analogy. "They do! Say... since these clouds are the ones that make lots of shapes, do you wanna help me find a few shapes?"
"Sure thing!" Ash responded. He squinted and focused on a lumpy cloud with two "arms" extending from a round base. "Lillie, what do you see?"
Lillie turned to Ash with a grin. "I see a Rowlet! Maybe your Rowlet is as fluffy as a cloud!" She turned back to the sky and pointed to a circular cloud with two long ears. "I know what that is!"
Ash looked at the cloud and laughed. "Of course, that's a Pikachu's head!" He felt his face warm up as he pointed to a cloud with a pointed tip and two rounded lumps. "And that one...?"
"...it's a heart." Lillie quietly moved her sunhat up to cover her mouth somewhat. "It's... fluffy."
Silence followed the whole time the cloud was in the sky, but Lille quietly squeaked as she felt a warm hand atop hers. She turned her head to the left, and there was Ash, smiling at her in that gentle and warm way.
"Fluffy..." He quietly chuckled. "Yeah. I think it looks fluffy too."
Hand in hand, the two watched the heart-shaped cloud drift away and deform. Even after, they still remained hand in hand.
Lillie's own heart was like the cloud: fluffy-feeling, because of the person she saw the cloud with.
