chapter 19

Seven hours we've been flying and we finally found it buddy!" Ash said to Pikachu. "Pika!!" The cute mouse like Pokemon replied with the same toothy grin on his face that Ash had on his face. Ash looked down and saw the vast region of Alola laying beneath them as they were flying. So many new Pokemon were flying around and Ash was amazed. When they landed, he thanked Charizard and returned him. Ash started walking around when a man with no shirt and only a lab coat and a pair of shorts with sandals and a hat on came up to him. "Alola, I just saw you land are you new here?" The man asked with wonder in his voice. "Hi, yea I am how did you know?" Ash asked with confusion. "Well for one, I've never seen you here before and two you look like you're stressed." The man said with great concern. "Where are my manners?" He said. "My name is Professor Kuikui." He stuck out his hand and Ash shook it. "I'm Ash from Pallet Town in the Kanto Region and this is my buddy Pikachu." Ash replied with a toothy grin on his face.

The professor took Ash to choose his first pokemon. Ash picked a grass type pokemon by the name of Rowlet. Rowlet popped out of his pokeball and hopped into Ash's backpack. Ash said his thanks and goodbye to the professor and went on his way.

As he was walking along the beach, he saw a blonde girl at the edge of a bridge and a puffy pokemon being attacked in the middle of the bridge. Ash knew that he had to do something. He ran out onto the bridge and called out Pikachu. "Pikachu, use electroball!!" Pikachu executed the move perfectly and the Murkrow flew off. Ash walked up to the pokemon and told it everything was gonna be alright when all of all sudden  bridge snapped. He wrapped his arms around the pokemon and turned his body so he would hit the ground first. Well he thought he hit the ground. He looked up and noticed that there was a pokemon lifting him up. "Koko!!" The pokemon replied. It put Ash and the pokemon beside the blonde girl and left. The girl ran up to Ash and kissed his cheek and hugged him. "Thank you so much for saving Nebby!"

Taken by surprise, Ash returned the hug. "You're welcome." He replied. Inside of Ash something miraculous happened. The dense and confused Ash took off and left and in came a new Ash. This one was brave and confident. For the first time Ash saw just how beautiful this girl was. The girl introduced herself as Lillie. "Hey Lillie, I have a question for you." Ash said kind of red in the face. "What is it Ash?" Lillie asked. "Would you like to go on a date?" He asked. Lillie could not believe what she had just heard. "Yes yes yes!!!!!" Lillie said wrapping her arms around him hugging him. Ash smiled and hugged her back. Hand in hand, they walked side by side along the beach to go to dinner

What in the world?!! Did I really just ask a girl out?" Ash thought to his self. He looked down at Lillie as they were holding hands and walking down the beach. Lillie looked up at him and smiled. Ash smiled back and felt butterflies dancing around in his stomach. When they got to a perfect spot on the beach to watch the sunset, Ash laid out a blanket and some food that he had in his backpack. He and Lillie then sat down and started eating. "Ash, did you cook this food? It's delicious." Lillie said with a few crumbs spread out on her face. Ash laughed and said "Yea, when I traveled with people that I once considered friends, I would always stay up all night teaching myself how to cook." Lillie looked at him with wonder in her eyes. "How did you come here Ash?" Lillie asked with a ting of concern in her voice. " I was betrayed by those I called friends and family. They all called me weak and said that I would never amount to anything." He replied with a glossy look in his eyes and a tear running down his face.

Lillie was shocked when she heard this. Why would anyone do such horrible things to someone like Ash? She moved over to Ash and held him as a way to help him out. " I'll never betray you Ash. I'll stay with you forever." Lillie said wiping a tear from his eye. "I love you Ash." Ash looked at her with a small grin on his face red from tears. " I love you too Lillie." Ash replied. They went back to eating next to each other.

Once they were done eating, Ash cleaned up the mess and put the stuff away. He then lied down on the blanket and Lillie laid down on his chest. Ash put his arm around Lillie as they were looking up at the stars together. Ash looked down and kissed Lillie's forehead and hugged her close. Lillie looked up at Ash and kissed him back and smiled. As the stars were coming out, Lillie and Ash started falling asleep. Ash whispered to Lillie " Good night my Lillie Flower." Lillie smiled and said " Good night Ashy-boy." They smiled at each other and kissed each other goodnight as they fell asleep in each other's arms

The morning air brushed against Ash and Lillie as they asleep together on the beach. Ash started waking up and looked down to see Lillie laying down on his chest and smiled. He stayed there until she started waking up. "Good morning my lily-flower" Ash said with his toothy grin showing. "Morning Ashy-boy" Lillie replied while planting a kiss on his cheek. "I'll start cooking breakfast" He said to her. "Okie! Can I help?" She replied. Ash nodded and kissed her. "Of course, you can." He replied. They got up and started making breakfast right there on the beach. They ate breakfast and then Ash asked Lillie "Where do you live?" Lillie replied saying "I live with Professor Kuikui." Ash got up and spun Lillie around. Lillie giggled and asked, "What was that all about?" Ash replied saying "That's where I'm staying at too!" Lillie wrapped her arms around Ash and held onto him while kissing him.

They got done with breakfast and cleaned up. Then they started walking hand in hand to go shopping. They got into the mall and Ash was amazed at the size of it. Lillie giggled when she saw his eyes sparkle. They started walking around and Ash accidently knocked into a dude with moomoo milk in his arms. Suddenly things seemed to go in slow motion for Ash as he caught the milk with out missing a beat. "Sorry about that man. I didn't mean to bump into you at all." The dude got up and said, "It's ok I'm Kiawe by the way nice to meet you." "I'm Ash from Pallet town." Ash said shaking his hand. Lillie spoke with ease, "Hey Kiawe!" "Hey Lillie. Got yourself a boyfriend I see." Kiawe replied looking happy for the new couple. Lillie nodded and smiled as she held on to Ash.

"So, Ash what brings to the Alola region?" Kiawe asked with wonder. Ash told him how he was betrayed by the ones that he had once called friends and family. Kiawe was astonished and upset at those who betrayed Ash. "If I ever see those people who betrayed you Ash I will make them pay for what they did to you." Kiawe said with fury in his voice. he said their is one now and went to bonnie she was crying she said they made me betray you he hugged her and told her that he well have to ask Kuikui if you can stay with us he called him and asked him and he said yes she can

Ash and Lillie thanked Kuikui and said goodbye to him. They continued walking around when they found themselves in a bubble. It wasn't just any bubble. The bubble had been made by a Poplilo and a girl with blue hair. Ash did the crazy thing and popped the bubble. Lillie and him and bonnie all fell to the ground even though Lillie landed on Ash and bonnie landed on lillie

"Oh, my goodness! Are you 3 all right?" The girl with the blue ran over and asked with a look of concern on her face. "Yea, we're alright." Ash and Lillie and bonnie replied. The girl introduced herself as Mallow. Ash introduced himself and Pikachu and bonnie"So, Lillie I see you got yourself a boyfriend. It's about time." Mallow said teasingly. Lillie blushed and held on to Ash as she nodded. "I wish I could and chat with you two, but I got to go prepare for something. I'll see you two later." Mallow said. They said their goodbyes and Ash and Lillie decided to break for lunch bonnie asked were do you live he said with her and a Professor named Kuikui

the next day he asked Kuikui to look after Her well i go do my island challenge he said he could he told bonnie that Kuikui was going to look after you for today well i go and do my island challenge she said can i come with you He said only if you listen to me and be quiet she said she would and she did

A new journey always brings new surprises. This is very common for Ash Ketchum who has traveled through seven regions and the orange islands. Right this minute he's in Alola with a bunch of companions. This time instead of going on an adventure he went to Pokemon School and today is graduation day.

"Today we celebrate the graduation of our students" said Principal Oak. The crowd erupted in cheers.

"Now may I introduce Prof. Kukui to say his graduates."

"Hello everyone. It's time to say the graduates." Kukui said.

"First Soholces!"

Soholces's parents cheered him on.

"Next Kiawe!"

Same thing happened with Kiawe.

"Next Lana"

Same thing happened to Lana.

"Next Mallow"

Same thing happened with her.

"Now Lillie"

The crowd clapped for Lillie. But Lillie did not have any parents to cheer her on after the incident. Whenever this happened, she began to cry. But she didn't want to cry in front of a lot of people!

"Go Lillie!"

Lillie heard a voice of a good friend. Ash Ketchum. That just made her day. She realized a long time ago that with a friend like Ash, they'll​ cheer for you every step of the way.

"Now our newest student, Ash Ketchum from the far far Pallet Town!"

The crowd cheered for him too. But Ash paying attention to two people in the crowd. His mom, Delia, had made it for his graduation. As well as Prof. Oak.

"These students are the best students a teacher could ask for. So give em another round of applause!" Kukui finished saying.

The crowd went into cheers for these six students.

Later

"Hey where's Lillie?" Ash asked Mallow. They were at the after party.

"I think I saw her at the cliff near the view of the sea" Mallow replied.

"Thanks!" Ash said.

At the cliff

'How should I ask him?' Lillie thought while looking at the sea.

"Lillie!"

Lillie heard Ash calling her.

"What are you doing here?" Ash asked.

"Oh nothing" Lillie said. She lied.

"I know you're here for a reason."

"Ash why are you such a good person?" Lillie blurted out. "I mean like...why. Just why?"

"Well you're supposed to be good." Ash said simply.

"There's got to be more" Lillie replied.

"Okay, okay. My dad was a good person. I mean very good. But one day some vicious Beedrill came to attack me. But a that second, my dad sacrificed his life to save mine. So I'm trying to be a nice as him. To remember him. To make him proud."

Lillie was speechless for a few seconds but finally found some words. " Wow Ash. That's really. Really. I can't even find the words."

Ash laughed. Things were silent for a few moments.

"Lillie, I've been meaning to tell you something." Ash said.

"What?" Lillie said. She was hoping for a certain thing he would say.

"Lillie. You see, since the first day I came here I felt this feeling around you and MFTHMM!

Lillie released herself. She had just kissed Ash. On the lips. Ash was stunned. His face flushed red. So did Lillie's.

"It's okay. I feel the same way." Lillie replied softly.

"Well uhh what are you going to do after this?"

"Umm. You're the first person I told this to. A random person bought my house and my butler. I don't even know where my brother is nowadays so I really have no one."

"Don't say that Lillie. You have everyone around you, you have me." Ash said. "In fact, I'll ask my mom if you can live with us until we figure out this mess!"

"Really Ash?!" Lillie exclaimed.

"Yeah! My mom will totally say yes!"

"Thank you Ash!" Lillie said.

"You can thank me later, come on!"

Ash and Lillie ran back to school, to tell everyone the great news
