Does childbirth make you squeamish? If it does, you may want to skip this part. However, you will miss a major plot point, so GET OVER IT! XP
Chapter 21-Familiar Place, Anyone?
The village of Mewuskovia—it still existed, surprisingly. It was a mess from Mewtwo's coup, but it still stood. And that was where a large flash appeared, dropping Lucario upon his bed.
Lucario: (waking up) What? What's going on?
Absol: (Absol comes to Lucario's side) Lucario! You need to get up now! Lilly is about to give birth in the restaurant's secret soundproof basement!
Lucario: (wide awake) WHAT?
Narrator: Lucario leaped out of bed and followed Absol to the restaurant. He was freaking out! He reached Hypno's Family Restaurant, which was miraculously still standing from the disaster. In times since the coup, the apartment had been soundproofed to allow people to gather in secret for Sunday Mass. The staircase appeared to lead to a hall with a bathroom and an office/bathroom combo. Bookshelves lined the halls, concealing these secret rooms. Lucario entered the largest hidden apartment, which held the sight of Absol, Darkrai, and Houndoom gathered around Lilly who was laying upon the bed. There was also an Alakazam in the background. This Alakazam was sent to this town to help Lucario teleport from the prison to the village.
Lucario: Lilly—oh, GAUGH! (hides eyes as he sees Lilly in birthing position)
Houndoom: You better get used to this if you ever plan to marry! You'll see a lot of that in marriage!
Lilly: Lucario! Is that you here? Please keep me company as I birth!
Lucario: Why me?
Lilly: You rescued me!
Narrator: Lilly screamed in pain. The sweat poured down her forehead as she struggled in the process of birth.
Absol: How far dilated is she?
Houndoom: (looks you know where) She's dilated enough! I see some ears poking out already!
Lucario: Just a little longer, Lilly! Just a few more pushes!
Narrator: Lilly pushed harder...and harder...and harder. The baby started to come out ever more slowly. The head was completely out with the next push, requiring only one more push for Lilly for this to be complete, except for the afterbirth, that is. Cries echoed across the room. Lilly was finally a mother, but she knew the child would not be well off in the village with her.
20 minutes had passed.
Lilly: I cannot keep him. (tears roll from eyes) Mewtwo will track him here somehow. I need to get him as far away from me as possible so he will not have to endure Mewtwo's oppression.
Narrator: She knew what was needed for the boy. She and Lucario used Alakazam's teleport to take them to Fortree City's Pokemon Center, about 2000 km from Mewuskovia. They left the child, knowing he would be better off without being subject to Mewtwo's reign.
Sad, but the child will live a better life without knowing Mewtwo was his father. Would you do the same if you were in Lilly's position?
