3. RPA High

Flashbacks Part 1

It is the next day since Ash fell unconscious, the others are eating breakfast and then Reisa says, "Hey, where are Ash and Lillie?"

"I haven't seen them since last night. Something is fishy here..." Mark says.

Just then, they see Lillie rushing to the cafeteria and she is ordering the food, after having the food, Minami tries to call her, but Lillie says, "I am sorry, but I need to go to the hospital wing."

"What happened?" Mark asks with worry and Lillie tells them everything happened last night. True to be told, they are also frustrated that they will go this far to hurt Ash.

"I can't believe Gary and the others will do this! And I was friends with them!" Serena says angrily.

"Calm down. Serena. We are also mad, too." Mark says. "So Lillie, what does Mother say about this?"

Lillie says, "Right now she is talking to their parents about their children's behavior. Right now I don't know how will it turn out."

After that, the others also rush with Lillie to the hospital wing and they see how Ash is lying there on the bed. They decide to watch him for a while until Professor Amelia comes in. She says, "I know you are worried about Ash, but right now you have to go to class. Lillie. Since I trust you to take care of your studies, you don't mind if you stay here?"

"Not at all, Professor." Lillie says as the other people leave.

As the room is only Lillie and Ash, Lillie places her hand on his face as she looks at the ring Ash gives her.

"Ash...please wake up..." Lillie prays as she starts to recall her first time with Ash back in Kalos High.

(Flashback)

Lillie and Gladion were staying at Kalos High, but due to family matters, Lillie has been depressed since her mother only cares about Gladion and she was treated as a disgrace. In school, Gladion has befriended Gary and the others as they hang out with each other, as for Lillie, she just sits at her own desk reading her book. A lot of people try to befriend her, but all failed as Gladion interferes with them from getting close to Lillie.

"Please...stop..." Lillie hears a faint cry as she turns around, she looks in horror that Ash is being hit and punched by Gary, Paul, and Trip. Lillie can't believe that there are people in this school so mean and cruel.

"Ha? The loser wants to beg for mercy?" Trip says.

"That shows how he is so pathetic." Paul says as they keep hurting him.

"Stop it!" Lillie can't stand it as she yells. This causes the three then turns around and sees her.

"Well, if it isn't Miss Lillie. Do you want to..." Gary tries to flirt with her, only to be slapped.

"I don't want to go with bullies like you!" Lillie says.

Just then, a Professor comes and says, "What is going on here?"

Then Trip says, "Ash is bullying us again, this time he even calls Lillie to help him!"

"What?" Lillie tries to protest, but the Teacher says, "Detention, for you Ash Ketchum and Lillie Aether."

Lillie can't believe her ears about how the teacher just have her detention, something that she hadn't have back in the Alola School.

"You can't do this teacher..." Lillie tries to protest, but Ash stops her.

"Don't. They won't listen to you. It won't be bad..." Ash says as Lillie sighs, as they were asked to clean the classroom after everyone leaves the school.
