Pokémon Sun and Moon: Return To Alola - (Sun X Lillie Fan-fiction)

Chapter 4 - Reporting For Duty

All around me is darkness. I can barely see the strange, glittering crystals that surround me in this odd world, but nothing else. I am alone. I am scared. I listen to the eerie sounds of the Ultra Beasts that surround me. Slowly creeping forwards, I see her ahead - mother. The one who always took care of me, who helped me up when I fell down... but her mind was twisted after all that happened. Fused with a creature from another universe, she approaches me with a wicked smile on her face, ready to kill... but wait, there's... something wrong with this memory. Where is...
With a gasp, I wake up. Sun lays besides me, still asleep. He was the one missing in that memory. He was the one who saved me from Ultra Space, he was the one who saved me from the Aether Foundation, he was the one who saved Nebby... he's saved me more times than I can remember. I refocus my breathing and put my hand against my forehead.
"Morning Lillie, are you okay?" Sun asks suddenly.
"Oh! Umm... I... I just had a nightmare about my mother, when she was possessed in Ultra Space," I whisper.
"Hey, everything's okay now, right? You're mother is safe at Aether Paradise with your brother, she's fully recovered, and you're here with me," He says smoothly to help reassure me. I sigh and smile.
"You're right," I say with a smile. I lay back down in bed beside Sun, nuzzling into his side.
"So, what do you want to do today?" He asks, his voice full of excitement as usual.
"Hmmm," I consider. I climb up onto his lap as he lays in bed, straddling him, which he likes.
"Well, we should go to Po Town first. Remember, Plumeria asked us to go there?" I continue, bouncing gently on his lap.
"Oh, yeah. I guess that means I can show you my Team Skull form!" He laughs, gently rubbing my sides. I smile and lean forward whilst sat on his lap. Sun moves his hands up from my sides and rests them on my shoulders, before we embrace in a long kiss.

When we're finished, I climb off of Sun carefully and find my clothes to put on today. My body is tingling in a good way, from the way Sun and I held eachother. Sun gets up too, putting on his usual clothes quickly, and packing his backpack with other things. I decide to dress in my Z-powered form today.
"Is it okay if I go have a shower quickly?" I ask.
"Yeah, sure. I'll be waiting in the kitchen," he replies with a smile. With that, I flash him a smile, pick up my clothes, and head to the washroom for a shower.

Sun's Mom seems to still be asleep, so I try to shower as quietly as possible. After washing myself, I dry myself with a towel and put on my clothes over my bare skin. Carefully tying my hair up into a ponytail, I hang up the towel that I used and I enter the kitchen, to find Sun who is already making breakfast.
"Wow, you look great!" He smiles.
"Heehee, thank you!" I chirp. Just a moment later, Sun's Mother walks in.
"Alola, Mom!" Sun chirps.
"Morning, you two! Did you sleep well? I hope you weren't up to late doing anything too silly..." Mom grins.
"No, no! Of course not!" Sun laughs, blushing. I giggle too, burying my face into Sun's shoulder.

As we eat breakfast, Sun's mother asks me all about my experiences in the Kanto region, and I'm happy to talk about them. The food we eat is really nice, as it turns out, Sun is really good at making food! The Alolan sunshine beams through the window, warming
the three of us as we listen to the Pikipek's chirp happily outside. When we're finally finished, I thank Sun for the breakfast and we head outside, after saying goodbye to Mom.
"So, where should we go first?" I ask, as we close the door behind us.
"I guess Po Town can wait for a while... I was thinking maybe we could go to Melemele meadows to train Pokémon. You don't have to battle, we can just go for a nice walk, just the two of us," Sun suggests.
"That sounds nice, great idea!" I reply happily. After mounting up onto Tauros, it's a short ride to Melemele meadows. I'm getting used to riding Pokemon now, and the sea looks amazing as we travel!
As we approach the meadows, I can't help but remember the time Nebby got himself lost here. Again, it was thanks to Sun that he remained safe. We dismount from Tauros, landing on the grass. I hold Sun's hand as we stroll along the path.
"It's very quiet... looks like it's just the two of us," I whisper, looking around.
"There may not be many people, but watch out for wild Pokemon," Sun chuckles. I see something move in a bush, and I approach it slowly. As I move my hand to search the bush, a wild Oricorio jumps out at me!
"Aha! Just like that! You need help there, Lil?" Asks Sun quickly, reaching for a Poke Ball just in case. I get to my feet, staring the Oricorio in the eyes.
"I-I'm going to catch it!" I say as confidently as I can, before sending out Rockruff. Sun smiles, sitting down on the grass cooly to watch the battle.
"Rockruff, use tackle!" I command. Rockruff does so, dealing damage to the Oricorio. The fluffy yellow Pokemon is still standing, but is too weak to retaliate with an attack.
"Do you have a Poke Ball?" Sun asks.
"Um... oh yes! I remembered to buy some yesterday!" I remember, taking one out of my bag. Aiming carefully, I throw it at the Oricorio, and with a flash of light, the creature is changed from physical matter to energy, being encapsulated within the Poke Ball. But it still has a chance to escape...
After the ball rocks a little on the ground, the Oricorio manages to break out!
"Whoa!" I exclaim, jumping back with shock.
"That happens! Try another one!" Encourages Sun. I nod. Focusing, I throw another Poke Ball. With little energy left, the little Oricorio is easily caught.
"Yes!" I exclaim joyfully. Sun jumps to his feet, dashing over to me with a smile on his face. "I did it!" I giggle, throwing my arms around his body and giving him a tight squeeze.
"Well done, Lillie! Now you have a full team of six Pokémon!" Says Sun. "Now, how about that training?" He smiles. I smile too, sending out my Pokemon alongside his.
