Okay, time for something you might find pretty surprising :p. This originally WASN'T going to be in my story, but I lost a sweater, and then this came into my mind XD. Anyway, enjoy :D!

The next day, Lillie gets ready for when Elio comes to pick her up. She decides to wear her "Z-Powered form", which Elio thought was pretty cute. She wore that outfit ever since she showed it to Elio.
Lillie couldn't help but smile. Long gone are the days she was a pretty shy girl, now she's willingly brave enough to do anything. She would still stutter nervously from time to time, but hey, she can't help it.
Once Lillie gets outside, she notices Elio along with Charizard.
"G'morning, Lillie!" Elio greeted.
"Good morning, Elio. How did you sleep?" Lillie asked.
"I slept pretty well, thanks, Lillie! How 'bout you?" Elio asked.
"Well, okay... I was still turning in my sleep. I really miss mother." Lillie said with a sad look on her face. Elio puts his hand on her right shoulder.
"Don't worry, Lillie. I wouldn't want you to feel heartbroken like this... especially if it's a loss." Elio said.
"Yeah. Anyway, what is this plan you were talking about?" Lillie asked.
"You'll see. Join me on another little journey, Lils." Elio said. Lillie raised an eyebrow on that.
"Um... Lils?" Lillie said, confused.
"That's my nickname for you." Elio replied. Lillie couldn't help but giggle a little. She hops on Charizard, and the three fly away to... wherever Elio had in mind.

They arrived at Heahea City on Akala Island. Once they land, Elio returns Charizard to the Ride Pager, and the two begin to walk around.
"Why are we here?" Lillie asked.
"Well, I was considering we can just walk around here. After all, it's a pretty warm day outside." Elio replied.
"I suppose you're not wrong about that." Lillie responded.
"Plus, the people here know I am the new Champion of Alola, so they would want to just leave us alone." Elio said.
"But what if someone wants to bully you... if that ever happens?" Lillie said a little uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, Lillie! I just challenge them to a battle. It's nothing my Pokemon and I can't handle!" Elio said with a smile.
"Wow. You are very great, Elio." Lillie said, smiling.
"Let's go. We'll get some exercise while we do this, it's a win-win!" Elio replied.
"Heh heh, might seem more like a lose-lose to me once I'm through here." A voice said. Elio looked around to see who was talking, and then was looking at none other than...
Guzma, the leader of Team Skull. Or... at least he used to be.
Lillie got scared at she looked at him. Guzma just approached them with his threatening smile.
"The hated boss who beats you down, and beats you down, and never lets up... yeah. Big bad Guzma is here!" He exclaimed.
"What are you doing here, Guzma?" Elio asked, getting a bit angry.
"What am I doing here? I was just looking around, trying to get some idiots to recognize us. What are you doing here?" Guzma said.
"It's none of your business." Elio snapped.
"Something to do with your chick over there?" Guzma asked, pointing to Lillie.
"Um... what?" Lillie managed to stutter. Elio put his arm in front of her.
"Leave her out of this, Guzma!" Elio commanded.
"Ha ha ha ha! You got some nerve kid, ya know that?" Guzma laughed.
"I already defeated you many times, so why you come back?" Elio asked. Guzma just looked at him with a furious look.
"Well, unfortunately, Plumeria told me to lay off you fools ever since we disbanded. She says 'there's nothing to bother now'. But believe me, kid, I still owe you big time for those times you have defeated me. I didn't even get the chance to beat you down! EVER!" Guzma explained.
"That's not gonna happen, Guzma. You might as well just leave us alone." Elio said.
"Ooh, I don't think so!"
"Are you kidding me?!"
"Y'all are stupid."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Elio shouted. Lillie was too scared, she stood still, not knowing what to do. She didn't really want to interfere.
"Come at me, kid! I can take you!" Guzma said with a nasty smile.
"You better leave, NOW!" Elio yelled. Suddenly, Guzma slaps him across the face, and it was really rough. Lillie stood there, really shocked.
"Elio!" Lillie cried. Guzma picks up Elio by his arms, forcing the boy to look at him.
"Wanna see what destruction looks like? Here it is in human form: IT'S YOUR BOI, GUZMA!" Guzma screamed. Elio tried to regain composure, but was a little too weak right now. Guzma then punches him and he lays on the floor. Then Guzma threw Elio at a nearby wall, trapping him.
"DID YOU REALLY THINK I WAS GONNA STOP THERE?! YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE MESSED WITH ME, YOU STUPID KID!" Guzma shouted. He then throws a Poke Ball, and sends out his Vikavolt.
"THREATEN ME AGAIN, AND I AM DANG SURE THAT I WILL FREAKING HURT YOU WILL X-SCISSCOR!" Guzma yelled.
"Please... stop..." Elio said, a little bit of blood coming from his mouth.
"YOU WERE THE ONE WHO STARTED IT!" Guzma shouted. Vikavolt screeches as it gets into a fighting pose.
"Get ready to meet the hardest beatdown of your life!" Guzma yelled.
"STOP!" Lillie shouted, getting in front of Elio.
"Why you in my way, chick?" Guzma asked.
"Please... I already lost my mom. I don't wanna lose anyone else! Please... spare him." Lillie said.
"What? The hot lady, Lusamine... she died?" Guzma said as he raised an eyebrow.
"Uh-huh. By an Ultra Beast. I hope she's not mad at me up there..." Lillie said, looking at the sky.
"Like she would hear you." Guzma said lightly shoving her. Then he puts his foot on Elio's chest.
"Hold still so I can beat you." Guzma said with a twisted evil smile.
"STAY AWAY FROM HIM!" Lillie shouted, pushing Guzma the hardest she can. It worked, as he fell over. Vikavolt came over to his side, but Guzma gets up pretty quickly.
"YOU F ING CHILD!" Guzma screamed. He then grabs Lillie and traps her in another wall.
"N-No! Please stop, I beg of you!" Lillie cried.
"I already had to stop Elio here... but I think I'll just hurt you too!" Guzma exclaimed.
"P-Please... Arceus have mercy..." Lillie said quietly.
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" Guzma screamed. He then wraps his hand around Lillie's neck, thus choking her. Elio slowly woke up, then got surprised as he saw Lillie dying in Guzma's grasp.
"S-Stop! Please..." Lillie choked out, but it ended up in Guzma squeezing her throat tighter.
"WITH THE DEATH OF YOU, THEN MORE PEOPLE WOULD BE HAPPY! ESPECIALLY TO THE ONES IN TEAM SKULL! YOU MESSED WITH ME LONG ENOUGH CHILD!" Guzma shouted, looking more furious, his whole face red.
"KIDS LIKE YOU DESERVE TO BURN IN HELL! BY THE POWER OF TEAM SKULL WITHIN ME... I, GUZMA, WILL FREAKING DEST-"
"Incineroar, use Darkest Lariat!" Elio commanded. Before Guzma could do anything, he got knocked out by said move. Gyzma gets up slowly, and realizes Vikavolt is still out there, struggling against Incineroar.
"VIkavolt, return!" Guzma exclaimed, returning Vikavolt to its ball. Guzma gets up, and looks at Elio with intense eyes.
"Leave now. I defeated you in a battle many times, and I will do it again." Elio said heroically.
"Mark my words, Elio. One of these days I will beat you down! JUST YOU WAIT!" Guzma yelled. He then walks away from him, not wanting to turn back.
"Good riddance!" Elio shouted, once Guzma was not in his sight anymore. Elio then returns Incineroar to its ball, then runs over to Lillie, worried about her.
"Lillie?" Elio called out. The poor girl was still catching her breath.
"E-Elio..." Lillie whispered.
"Are you okay? I'm so sorry." Elio said.
"Don't be sorry. You... you tried all you could." Lillie said, lightly smiling. Elio helps her stand up, but then winces from pain.
"What's wrong?" Lillie asked.
"My arm... it's getting pretty sore." Elio said, clutching his right arm.
"Should I take you to the Pokemon Center?" Lillie asked, more worried.
"No, it's fine. It'll heal in a few hours," Elio said, "But the main thing is... are you okay?"
"Well, I was nearly choked to death, but I'll be fine." Lillie said.
"Wanna continue our stroll? Then we'll get some lunch." Elio replied.
"Sure. This'll be where it begins." Lillie said, smiling. And the two walk down Heahea City, and they go in whatever building they want to go into.
But there will be more to this.

A/N: So, this is a chapter :). Anyway, I thought of this because I always thought of Guzma as in abusive guy since he always talks about beating things up. I felt so bad for Lillie and Elio in this chapter :(. Anyway, enjoy my story and Stay Fresh my dudes :D!
