Ash's Paldea Story

Chapter 16 Family Visit (Week 4 Part 1)

(Monday)

"We're back." Lillie and I are back from Cortando Town, as we were asked by Professor Jacq to attend the Olive harvesting festival with the other students.

Reisa says, "Harvesting olives are interesting, and to think that we use the olive to make the oils for the meals we have."

"Indeed. And I guess we also get a present as well." Lillie says while hugging the Smoliv in her hand.

Smoliv: The Olive Pokemon: Grass and Normal Type. It protects itself from enemies by emitting oil from the fruit on its head. This oil is bitter and astringent enough to make someone flinch.

"Well, we do get to see what an Arboliva looks like back in our gym battles. And I can't wait to see how it evolves." I say.

"Me too." Lillie says. "I guess it is time for us to go to class."

"Let's go." Luke says.

(Tuesday)

"What? You guys are coming to Paldea Region?" Lillie is surprised.

"Of course, Lillie. We're going to see how you do in school and don't worry, it will only be me, Mohn, and Gladion." Lusamine says.

"Gladion is going to come too? I thought he is going to Sinnoh to travel!" Lillie yells at her.

"Well, sorry about that. But we'll see you on Wednesday." After that, Lillie ends the call with a sigh.

As for me, I was training Smoliv with my Lycanroc, though everyone is looking at my training because my Lycanroc looks different from the others.

"So this is the Dusk Form Lycanroc!" Luke says. "How did you evolve it?"

"You just need to have a Rockruff with the Own Tempo ability and evolve it during dusk. That's how..." I say.

"But that is really hard to achieve." A student tells me. "Yeah, that is only an hour..."

"Guess I'm the lucky one." I chuckle, and I also notice that my Smoliv is evolving, it has become just like a doll made of Olive.

Dolliv: The Olive Pokémon: Grass and Normal Type. Evolve from Smoliv at LV:25. It basks in the sun to its heart's content until the fruits on its head ripen. After that, Dolliv departs from human settlements and goes on a journey.

"Looks like you're one step closer to having Arboliva." Nemona says.

"Yeah." I turn to Lillie, who just finish calling the phone, she rushes to me and panics, "Ash! My family is coming tomorrow! What should I do?"

"Wait, your family is coming?" I ask in surprise. "That's awesome. Why are you panicking about it?"

"Did you forget how my mom acts? I don't want to embarrass myself in front of others...and Gladion is also here as well."

"Gladion? He's coming?" I gasp.

"Who is Gladion?" Drandon asks.

"My brother..." Lillie says, "I told you the other day before."

"Right, I'm sorry to forget about it." Drandon says.

"Anyway, I'm sure that nothing is going to be bad about them. Professor Mohn probably can get your mother in check." I say.

"I hope so..." Lillie mutters.

(Wednesday)

Lillie and I ask Professor Dendra for our personal leave because Lillie's family is coming, and much to our surprise, she approves our leaving and we get to the airport as soon as possible with the help of Koraidon and Miraidon.
