To my readers-I decided that instead of making 2 huge volumes of A Ketchum's journey, I decided to make them into 4 separate volumes. Volume 1 will contain the Kanto and Johto regions, Volume 2 will contain Hoenn and Sinnoh regions, Volume 3 will contain Unova and Kalos regions, last but not least, Volume 4 will contain Alola and Galar regions. I want each and every one of you to know that if you personally don't like the way I'm writing the fanfic, then you don't have to read it. I will not reach through my laptop to force you to read any fandoms that I write for because you can probably find a lot better fanfics in those fandoms over mine. Even if you can't find what you're looking for and still don't like the way I write it, then I encourage you to write your own. Happy Reading!
I DONT OWN POKEMON. I ONLY OWN MY OC AND THE CREATION OF HER REGIONAL POKEMON TEAMS.
Shoutouts:
"I had such a good time and laughed so hard with everyone during our sleepover at Professor Kukui's house. Snowy did too, plating with Pikachu, Meeko and Nebby…" Lillie wrote in her journal, then thinks back to when she saw Silvally.
[Flashback]
"No, stop!" Lillie said to Snowy, causing her to back up.
"Vul!" said Snowy.
"Oh, no…." said Lillie.
[Flashback ends]
"Vul?" questioned Snowy, bringing Lillie out of her thoughts.
"Snowy." said Lillie, looking at her Pokémon.
"Vul!" said Snowy, walking up to her, causing Lillie to shriek.
"I'm so sorry." said Lillie.
Out on the beach, Gladion became angry with Ash and Hayley. "What happened? Why did you bring Lillie to see me?" asked Gladion. "The reason she's unable to touch Pokémon again is because of something she remembered after seeing Silvally, Ash and Hayley?! It was all so much better off forgotten, you understand?"
"Sorry, Gladion." said Ash as tears welled up in Hayley's eyes. "See, Nebby….."
"Don't blame it on Nebby!" he shouted.
"Sorry…." said Ash.
"You're mean! We didn't bring Lillie to you! Nebby did!" screamed Hayley as tears fell from her face, causing Gladion, Lycanroc and Umbreon to gasp, turning their attention to the crying girl. "Nebby must have teleported Lillie to you without us watching. Ash and I know better than to do something like that!"
"Pika, Pika." said Pikachu.
"Hayley." said Meeko.
"Please don't cry." said Gladion but her cries didn't stop as Pikachu jumps into Hayley's arms.
"Lucario!" said Meeko, glaring at Gladion as she stomps over to him, bringing him to her level. "Lucar, Lucar, Cario!"
"Meeko wants you to apologize to Hayley for making her cry." said Ash, knowing exactly what Meeko was telling Gladion to do.
"That's right! You made my trainer cry!" said Meeko, nodding shaking the blonde boy as Pikachu helps wipe away Hayley's tears.
"It's okay, Hayley." said Ash, hugging his little sister.
"Pika, Pika." said Pikachu.
"No it's not okay, Ash." said Hayley, sniffling. "We made a promise and we kept it. He's blaming us for something that we didn't do. You saw my notebook; I made a list."
"A list?" asked Gladion.
"Yeah. Hayley made a list of people we would tell about Silvally." Ash explained. "Lillie was the only one with a side note that said 'Ask Gladion for progress in Silvally's training'."
"We would've waited until you were ready to introduce Silvally to Lillie." said Hayley, sniffling. "Depending on how well Silvally did in his training with you."
Gladion was shocked at this. Hayley was waiting for his decision to have Lillie meet Silvally. He then heads back to the hotel he was staying in. "Oh. Welcome back, young man." said the manager. "Your family arrived here just a short while ago, so I sent them up to your room."
"My family?" Gladion asked as he takes the key. Once at his room, Gladion sees Faba on the couch. "Young master! Welcome back!" said Faba.
"Faba…..I thought it was you." said Gladion.
"I wasn't expecting you to be that welcoming so thank you for that friendly greeting." said Faba, bowing to the blond. "That was nice."
"What do you want?" asked Gladion.
"Rumor has it that little Miss Lillie isn't able to touch Pokémon once again, if my sources are correct." Faba said. "The reason why I came here is to retrieve Type: Null. This task confirms to your mother's wishes."
"I refuse!" yelled Gladion.
"Don't be so angry." Faba tells Gladion. "You're the one who took it without permission."
"You think I'd give Silvally back to you?" questioned Gladion. "You, the who said you'd take care of Silvally, then put him in chains?!"
"Him?" asked Faba.
"Yes, him." said Gladion. "Lycanroc! Umbreon!"
"You're choosing to resist? Go, Alakazam! Hypno!" shouted Faba.
"Alakazam!" said Alakazam with its spoons aimed at each other.
"Hypno!" said Hypno with its pendulum ready.
"Now, Lycanroc, use Stone Edge." said Gladion.
"Lycanroc!" growled Lycanroc as it smashes into the ground with its fist.
"Quick, Hypno, you use reflect!" said Faba.
"Hypno!" said Hypno, its hand stretched out and a light rainbow shield appeared, blocking Lycanroc's attack.
"Umbreon, use Shadow Ball!" said Gladion.
"Umbre….Umbreon!" shouted Umbreon, releasing Shadow Ball.
"Alakazam, Miracle Eye!" said Faba.
"Alakazam!" shouted Alakazam, its eyes glowed as it uses its spoons to dissipated Umbreon's Shadow Ball.
"Once again! Stone Edge! And Shadow Ball!" said Gladion.
"Lycan! Umbre!"
"Hypno, use Hypnosis! Alakazam, use Psychic." said Faba.
"Hypno. Hypno." Hypno said, swinging its pendulum. Lycanroc stares at the pendulum, falling forward as it went to sleep.
"Kazam!" shouted Alakazam, using Psychic just as Umbreon was about to release its Shadow Ball, knocking it into the wall.
"Umbreon!" Gladion cried out.
"It appears you're done resisting, Young Master." taunted Faba. "So give up."
"Never!" said Gladion, grabbing Silvally's Pokéball. "I'm not done."
"Sorry. I can't let you use that one. Hypno, use Hypnosis." said Faba, glaring at Gladion.
"Hypno. Hypno." Hypno said, swinging its pendulum as Gladion covered his eyes and tried to look away.
"This is a perfect time for you to take a nap." said Faba as Gladion's vision blurs. "So, pleasant dreams."
"Silvally…." Gladion said weakly as he drops Silvally's Pokéball to the floor before falling himself. Faba walks up and grabs Silvally's Pokéball, smirking at a sleeping Gladion. At the Pokémon school, Lillie was sitting by herself. "Vul." said Snowy, worried about Lillie.
"Lillie?" asked Ash.
"Huh?" she said, looking up.
"It'll be okay." he said to her as Hayley peeking out from behind him, with a sad look on her face. "You'll be able to touch Pokémon again, no doubt."
"It's important not to rush things." said Lana.
"Right. We're all on your side." said Kiawe.
"Mm-hm." said Mallow as she and Hayley nodded.
"And Snowy is too." said Sophocles.
"Vul!" Snowy said in agreement.
"Pika!"
"Lucar!"
"You can do it, Lillie." said Mallow, letting out a giggle.
"I can?" asked Lillie, looking up at her friends. "Really?"
"Of course you can." Mallow tells her as Kukui and Burnet stood in the doorway of the classroom.
"With a smile." said Sophocles.
"Lillie?" Burnet asked, walking inside the classroom.
"Professor Burnet?" asked Lillie.
"I was wondering how you were." she said as Kukui picks Hayley up. "I love to see you smile. It makes me happier than I can say."
"And I'm wondering how you're feeling." he said to the youngest Ketchum. "I havent seen you smile or have your uplifting personality at all today."
"Mm." said Hayley.
"Lucari…" Meeko growled.
"Snowy?" asked Lillie.
"Vul?" Snowy inquired.
"Let me try again, please?" she asked, arms opened wide for a hug.
"You sure about that?" asked Professor Kukui.
"I've got to give it a try." said Lillie.
"Lillie's determination is one hundred percent." said Rotom.
"And you don't know until you try, right?" asked Hayley.
"That's right." said Burnet.
"Yes! I can rea-Lillie do it! Come here, Snowy." said Lillie.
"Vul!"
"Snowy!"
Just then, Lillie screamed as Snowy clings onto her, causing everyone to chuckle. "Vul." said Snowy, feeling disappointed.
"Maybe that was a bit much to start." suggested Burnet, getting Snowy off of Lillie.
"I guess." said Lillie.
"But look! You tried your best!" Burnet told her honestly.
"Yeah. I know you'll be able to work up to it!" said Kukui.
"Right." said Lillie. Soon enough the school day had ended as Lillie and Snowy started walking home. Ash and Hayley were leaving the school yard when they caught up to them.
"Lillie!" Ash and Hayley called out, getting her attention.
"Are you walking home today?" asked Rotom.
"I thought a stroll with Snowy would be a good idea." said Lillie. "The first time I touched Snowy was on a stroll."
"Vul." said Snowy.
"Oh, yeah." said Ash. "Yeah. Hey, Pikachu! Hayley! Meeko! Rotom! How about taking a little stroll too?"
"That's a good idea." said Hayley.
"Pika! Lucar!" said Pikachu and Meeko.
"Sounds good to me." said Rotom. Outside of Kukui's house, Litten and Lycanroc were self-training to the point where Litten used Fire Fang, biting into Lycanroc's side. In town Ash, Hayley and Rotom were walking with Lillie.
"When you saw Gladion, did he say anything about me?" Lillie asked the brother and sister.
"Hey! How did you find out that we saw Gladion?" Ash asked, then looks down at Hayley.
"I didn't blab! You know me better than that." said Hayley.
"You both saw him?!" asked Rotom.
"Uh, yeah we did." said Ash and Hayley.
"I just had a hunch. Nothing more." said Lillie.
"You're hunch was right." said Ash. "Gladion said how he didn't want you seeing Silvally, like, 'Why did you bring her?!'." Soon as Ash made that voice, Nebby became shocked and whimpered. "Sorry about that." Ash said to Nebby.
"He made me cry." said Hayley. "I havent cried like that in a while."
"Yep. He was mad." said Ash. "Like he would use Super Fang or something else on us."
"That's Gladion alright." said Lillie, giggling. "I'm sorry that he made you cry, Hayley. He just means well. At that moment, I remembered something."
"A bad memory?" asked Ash and Hayley.
"Yes." said Lillie, remembering Silvally in the cave. "The image of Silvally lunging towards me and how really, really scared I was. It all came rushing back. How could I have even forgotten such an awful thing? An experience like that isn't something you forget, even if you wanted to."
"Reinstallation of a forgotten memory…." said Rotom. "That's truly fascinating."
"There's some bad memories that I know I want to forget." said Hayley. "But they'll eventually come back as nightmares."
"Now. Let's stop." said Ash. "Since we're out on a nice stroll, let's talk about something that's fun. Hey, I know. Pikachu's funny faces were so great yesterday."
"Pika?" asked Pikachu.
"Your funny faces are the best in the world." said Hayley, causing Pikachu to blush.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu tells her.
"Lucar, Lucario." said Meeko.
"I've recorded everything." said Rotom, bringing up video of Pikachu making a funny face. "Look."
"Pikachu." said Pikachu on camera, making a funny face of Rockruff.
"Pikachu." said Pikachu from Ash's shoulder as Lillie starts to laugh.
"Thank you all." said Lillie. "You've really cheered me up. That's so sweet of you."
"There's that smile." said Hayley, smiling as well.
"And there's my favorite sister smile." said Ash.
"All right, I've decided." said Lillie.
"What?" asked Ash and Hayley.
"I'm going to remember everything that happened." Lillie said, determined.
"That's a lot of remembering." said Hayley.
"I've got to know. Every detail. I must remember every second of what went on!" said Lillie.
Nebby babbled in questioned. "Lillie…." said Ash when suddenly, Nebby teleports the trio and Rotom somewhere.
"Where are we?" asked Ash.
"That was Teleport." said Rotom.
"He means, where has Nebby teleported us to, Rotom." said Hayley.
"Wow, Nebby…." said Ash.
"This place…." said Lillie, looking around at their surroundings. "This is the beach I frequently visited with my mother and brother when I was little…."
[Flashback]
Lusamine, Lillie and Gladion were on a ride Pokémon.
"Yay! Yeah!" shouted young Gladion. Lillie and Gladion were then splashing each other in the water as Lusamine watches them on the rocks.
"Take that. Take that." said young Gladion.
"Take that." said young Lillie.
[Flashback ends]
Just then, Nebby teleports them to the next destination. They reappeared in a vegetable garden. "Veggies!" shouted Hayley with a smile on her face, reaching for tomato when Ash holds her back.
"Oh wow!" said Lillie as they walked down an aisle.
"Whats this?" asked Ash as he struggles to keep Hayley from getting a tomato.
"Mother's garden. She used to grow our vegetables here. Before she got busy with her work." said Lillie, taking a couple of tomatoes off the vine for Hayley and Meeko. "And the Pokémon…They used to help out, too."
They then were teleported to the restaurant where Ash and Hayley were. "So where are we now?" asked Rotom.
"We know!" said Ash and Hayley.
"Pika! Lucar!" said Pikachu and Meeko in agreement.
"Hayley and I came to this restaurant with our mom." said Ash.
"The food was so yummy." said Hayley as she and Meeko rubbed their stomachs.
"My mother used to bring me here a lot, too." said Lillie when Nebby teleported them to another destination.
"Where are we this time?" asked Rotom.
"This room belonged to my brother and me when we were little." said Lillie as they all looked at the toys and things in the room.
"Vul!" squealed Snowy.
"Pika!" said Pikachu.
"Cario!" said Meeko.
"Our Aether Paradise house. So nice…." said Lillie as they were transported to a room at Aether Paradise. "It's my mother's room."
"So many pictures of you. And Gladion too!" said Ash as he and Hayley walked up to the pictures on the wall.
"Your mother sure likes to take photographs." commented Rotom.
"It's better than what our mom does." said Hayley. "She recorded Ash's league battles in every region."
"She did?" asked Ash.
"Besides the one at Indigo Plateau, which by the way you said hi to her on camera." Hayley tells him.
"Vul." said Snowy, curiously looking at the pictures on the desk with Pikachu and Meeko.
"Pika?" asked Pikachu.
"Lucario." said Meeko.
"Mm….mother." said Lillie, picking up a picture of her, Lusamine and Gladion on the beach.
"Okay, smile." said Lusamine as she takes the picture.
"It's so strange." said Lillie. "Everything we did when we took this picture is coming back to me so vividly. All the laughter….even the sound of the waves."
"Hey! I get it now!" said Ash with a smile. "Nebby's trying to grant your wish! You wanted to remember everything, right?"
"Mm-Wah!" said Nebby, using Teleport and teleported everyone to a place unknown to Ash, Hayley and Rotom.
"This is the underground research area…." said Lillie, walking in a direction.
"Lusamine must never learn about what occurred four years ago, no matter what else happens." said Faba, staring at Silvally's Pokémon in his hand before placing it in a drawer. "Especially about that Ultra Beast!"
Suddenly a beeping sound was heard and Faba picks up a gadget to read what was on its screen. "The Ultra Aura's numbers…." said Faba, looking at the readings before rushing over to the computer. "It's close!"
As he pulls up the cameras from different places in Aether Paradise, he sees the trio and Rotom in the restricted area. "Oh, no! Miss Lillie!" he said to himself. "How did she get here? Could she have possibly remembered?"
"I've been here. That doesn't make any sense." said Lillie. "That's strange. The underground entrance is strictly forbidden and no one can get in, so how could I have gotten in here?"
"Good question." said Hayley. "Better yet, how would Nebby know if you wanted to remember this?"
"It's the twerp, baby twerp and the frilly Twerpette." said Meowth.
"And Protokoffing." said Jessie.
"Our lucky star shines bright!" said James.
"Right!" said Team Rocket.
"Wobbuffet!" said Wobbuffet as Team Rocket sneakily goes after Nebby when Faba stops them.
"There you are!" Faba said to Team Rocket. "I've been looking for you."
"Where's Type: Null." Gladion said to his mother in her office.
"Type: Null?" asked Lusamine, confused by what he was talking about. "I've heard that name somewhere before."
"You tell me where 'it' is right now!" demanded Gladion, keeping Silvally's gender a secret from his mother.
"Stop, honey!" Lusamine tells her son. "Whats with you? You're making such a scary face."
"Tell me where 'it' is! Faba stole 'it' from me." said Gladion.
"Really? Faba?" asked Lusamine, then tries to remember. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
"You don't? I'm confused….." said Gladion.
"I remember now! Type: Null was the code name of a mysterious project Faba was in the process of developing. Let's see. The last time I remember hearing about it, I was told it was a failure." said Lusamine.
"Failure? That's not true!" said Gladion. "Type: Null saved us! I mean Silvally. It not only rescued Lillie, but Silvally saved me as well!"
"Saved you?" questioned Lusamine. "What do you mean? Tell me."
"I want you to hurry up and find Miss Lillie and then bring her to me at once!" ordered Faba.
"The frilly Twerpette? What for?" asked Jessie.
"So I can make her forget." he replied.
"Make her forget what?" Meowth asked.
"An inconvenient past experience that she mustn't remember." Faba said with a smirk.
"This sounds a little bit weird…" Jessie said, unsure if she, James and Meowth should do it.
"Weird is what he does." said James as Faba brings out Hypno.
"Hypno." said Hypno.
"If I utilized my Hypno's powers, then it's possible. I can erase anyone's memories." explained Faba.
"Wish I could erase this. He's weird." said Meowth.
"You'll get a big reward. I'll pay your double." said Faba as Team Rocket looks down sheepishly. "Now hurry!"
"No way sir!" said Team Rocket.
"What?!" asked Faba.
"Memory erasing is so ick!" said Jessie, glaring at the man. "Who do you think you are?!"
"Word up!" said James and Meowth.
"Wobbuffet." said Wobbuffet.
"Now look here, buster!" said Jessie, getting in Faba's face. "People and Pokémon are who they are! That's because they're an accumulation of all the things they experience every day, no matter how small!"
"Right!" said James. "For example, the cake you ate on your birthday when you were but a mere tot…the color and shape of the cake, sweetness, the smell of the candles after they were blown out….having memories to cherish for a lifetime is what's important! You can count me out."
"We may be the bad guys, but we're not the BAD-bad." said Meowth. "We put the GOOD in bad!"
"Wobbuffet! Wobb." said Wobbuffet.
"Adios." Team Rocket said to Faba as they threw down their hats.
Faba was stunned at first then scoffed at Team Rocket's retreating backs. Just then, Nebby had teleported the kids and Rotom to a lower level. "Here, too…..I know this place." said Lillie when she then turns around and gasps.
"Who are they?" asked Ash.
"Hypno! Alakazam!" Both Pokémon said, using Psychic on Ash, Hayley, Snowy, Meeko, Pikachu and Rotom to knock them back. "Ash! Lucar!" said Hayley and Meeko as they both stood their ground when the others were knocked back. Suddenly, Faba places a hand on Lillie's shoulder, causing her to gasp in terror. Ash, Pikachu and Snowy fell to the ground as Hayley and Meeko ran up to them. "Are you okay?" asked Hayley.
"Are you all right?" asked Rotom.
"Ash! Hayley!" Lillie cried out.
"Whoa! Lillie!" shouted Ash.
"Let's go after her." said Hayley, picking Snowy up.
"How's it possible that you and Meeko weren't thrown back?" asked Rotom.
"Guess the secret's out." said Hayley.
"We….actually don't know why." said Ash. "We're still figuring that one out."
"Where?!" said Gladion as he searches for Silvally's Pokéball in the drawer. "Where did he hide 'it'?"
"Who would've thought Faba would have opened up an Ultra Wormhole?" Lusamine asked, helping Gladion search. "Not me."
"The Ultra Beast. Do you want to see it? That's been your dream since you were a kid, right?" Gladion asked his mother, gaining her attention and peaking her interest. "Lillie totally blocked her memory of the fear she experienced after being attacked by an Ultra Beast. Yet you still want to see it."
"Hmm." said Lusamine, turning away.
"That's the kind of person you are." Gladion tells her.
"Gladion!" said Lusamine, shocked at what he was saying.
"Didn't you think it was strange how Lillie suddenly wasn't able to touch Pokémon?" Gladion asked his mother. "Even if Faba lied to you and hid the facts, remember you're still her mother!"
"I'm so….sorry…." said Lusamine.
"I'm not the one to apologize to." said Gladion. He soon finds Silvally's Pokéball, smiling as he gasps when suddenly alarm was heard.
"Emergency situation! Someone come, now!" screamed Rotom as Faba continued to drag Lillie.
"How much do you remember now?" Faba inquired as Lillie looked up at him terrified for her life. "That's all right. No matter what, you'll forget soon enough."
"What do you mean?" asked Lillie.
"Hypno! Use Hypnosis!" he said, turning Lillie around.
"Hypno! Hypno! Hypno! Hypno!" said Hypno, swinging it pendulum in front of Lillie.
"I don't want to forget." thought Lillie.
"Now Pikachu! Use Iron Tail!" said Ash.
"Pikachu!" shouted Pikachu.
"I take that back. Use Reflect!" said Faba.
"Hypno!" shouted Hypno, using Reflect on Pikachu's tail.
"Pikachu!" shouted Ash, Hayley and Lillie.
"Now that it's come to this, I think you should all take a little nap." said Faba. "Hypno, it's time to use Hypnosis!"
"Hypno! Hypno! Hypno!" said Hypno, swinging it pendulum as Nebby teleports them away.
"Thanks a lot, Nebby." said Ash.
"Good job." said Hayley as Nebby sounded pleased.
"Using Teleport, eh? No problem." said Faba. "Now it's our turn. Use Teleport!"
"AAH!" shouted Ash and Hayley.
"Alakazam, use Psychic!" said Faba.
"Alakazam!" shouted Alakazam, using Psychic to push Ash, Pikachu and Snowy back.
"Meeko, use Extreme Speed!" said Hayley.
"Lucario!" shouted Meeko as she runs over to Alakazam and headbutts it.
"Let me go!" shouted Lillie.
"Hypno! Use Psychic and stop them in their tracks." said Faba.
"Hypno!" said Hypno, hand raised as it slows down Ash, Pikachu and Snowy from moving.
"I don't like you." said Hayley, then run up to Faba, hitting him with her small fists. "Let Lillie go! Let her go!"
"Insignificant brat!" said Faba.
"How dare you!" said Meeko, using Bone Rush to hit him on the head.
"AH!" he shouted, grabbing the Aura bone, then throws Meeko towards Ash, Pikachu and Snowy.
"Stop!" said Lillie, pushing Faba away and runs towards Ash.
"All right. Alakazam, use Psychic." shouted Faba.
"Alakazam!" it said, using Psychic on Hayley, throwing her towards her brother, knocking her out before getting Lillie.
"Lillie! Hayley!" said Ash just as Gladion and Lusamine ran in.
"Lillie!" screamed Lusamine.
"Are you okay?" Rotom asked Ash.
"Gladion Gladion…." Ash said.
"Silvally, let's go!" shouted Gladion, sending out Silvally, who then appeared angry.
Silvally looks over his shoulder and sees Hayley knocked out cold on the floor. "I created you." Faba said to Silvally who growled even angrier. "Never forget that I'm the one who bestowed life upon you!"
"Silvally!" growled Silvally, angry that Faba knocked Hayley out.
"Mm." said Hayley, moving around and sitting up, holding her head. "Okay….who sent Ash's herd of Tauros after me?" Lillie looked down as Silvally stares intensely at her, as though telling her 'Remember me? I saved you.'
"No!" screamed Lillie, shaking her head as the helmet created around Silvally's head started to break.
"Quick, Silvally! Save Lillie, she's in trouble!" said Gladion. The helmet breaks off, revealing Silvally's true face as it howled.
"Silvally's a handsome Pokémon." said Hayley with both her hands pressured to her temple as Silvally jumps into the air to save Lillie. As Silvally jumps towards her, Lillie starts to remember how it happened as he knocks Alakazam out of the air.
[Flashback]
"Mommy, where are you?" asked Young Lillie as she walks into the forbidden area. "Mommy?"
Just then, young Lillie looks up to see Faba creating an Ultra Worm hole and an unknown squid like Pokémon came out of it. It looks down at Lillie and became interested in her. Curious, the Pokémon floats down to Lillie as she takes a step back but quickly tries to take her.
"Lillie!" shouted young Gladion, looking for his sister.
"Help! Gladion!" screamed Lillie, hand out reaching for her brother.
"Oh, no! Lillie! Quick, Faba, save her!" Gladion said to a frozen Faba as Lillie screamed again.
Growling was heard and Silvally jumps into the air, knocking the unknown Pokémon back, causing it to let her go. Lillie looks up and passes out as she falls onto Silvally before hitting the ground. The unknown Pokémon heads back through the Ultra Wormhole just before it closed.
[Flashback ends]
"I remember….you're the one who saved me." Lillie said to Silvally.
"To the now restored mighty beast, Silvally! Accept this Dark Memory!" said Gladion, holding a disk in his hand and throws it to Silvally. "And become the dark beast that brings chaos."
An opening on the left side of Silvally's head opens, taking in the disk as parts of Silvally turned dark. "Wow." said Hayley. "That's so cool!"
"Now use Multi-Attack!" shouted Gladion. Dark energy surrounded Silvally as he used Multi-Attack on Hypno and Alakazam, who then fall to the ground.
"No, no, no, NO!" said Faba, defeated by his own creation.
"Awesome." said Ash before heading over to Hayley.
"Silvally turned into a dark type." said Rotom as Pikachu, Meeko and Snowy were impressed.
"How's your head?" asked Ash.
"I'm surprised that I don't have a concussion." said Hayley. "Better yet, I don't know if I popped out my shoulder."
"Lillie!" said Lusamine as she runs over to her daughter. "I'm so sorry, Lillie! Lillie…..so sorry…..so sorry."
"Mother." said Lillie as Gladion started to smile. Gladion turned to see Ash, Pikachu and Meeko taking care of Hayley. "I'll be okay." Hayley tells her brother and their Pokémon as Gladion walks over. "I'm not in any pain.
"Lucario! Lucar, Lucar." said Meeko, smiling at her trainer.
"Hayley?" he asked, gaining her attention. "I'm sorry for making you cry. I didn't know that what you were going to do for Lillie."
"It's okay, Gladion." said Hayley with a smile. "I forgive you."
"Lucario. Cario." said Meeko, placing a paw on Gladion's shoulder, letting him know that he has been forgiven for what he did.
"I'm forgiven by you too, Meeko?" he asked.
"Lucar." said Meeko, nodding.
"Well then…." said Faba as he starts sneaking away.
"Thank you, Mother. I love you." said Lillie
"Lillie?" Lusamine asked as Lillie stood up.
"There's someone I have to apologize to, as well…." Lillie tells her mother and walked over to Silvally, who growls softly. "I'm sorry, Silvally. I was wrong. I just realized then and just now; you were the one who rescued me. Now I understand! Thank you, Silvally. Thank you."
"I can't believe what I'm seeing." said Hayley. "Is she…..?"
"Lucar." said Meeko as everyone gasped.
"She's touching it!" said Rotom.
"I just…." said Lillie, looking down at her hands.
"Pikachu! Lucar!" said Pikachu and Meeko as Snowy jumps into Lillie's arms.
"Snowy!" said Lillie.
"Pika! Pika!" said Pikachu, hugging Lillie's leg.
"Lucario!" said Meeko, jumping onto Lillie's back.
"Pikachu, Meeko." said Lillie as Nebby floats over to her. "And you, Nebby. I did it! I touched you! I can touch Pokémon! It's absolutely wonderful. Just like when I was a little girl."
"I'm so happy so for you, Lillie." said Ash as Hayley smiled.
"Thank you!" said Lillie, smiling as she hugged the Pokémon.
