Love Against the Odds!

Save Lillie, Ash!

[Let's say this takes place after the Alola League!]

Ash was looking at Lillie, who just got attacked by Nihilego, and when Lillie opened her eyes after the Ultra Guardians had made the Nihilego parish, Lillie's eyes were blood red!

"LILLIE NO!" Ash shouted, "You gotta hang in there!"

"Lillie is no more," Lillie's body shouted, ", her mind will soon be gone!"

"Pika~" Pikachu cooed sadly, but Ash rushed to Lillie, and punched the Nihilego/Lillie, and Ash started to hug Lillie's body while crying.

"I'm so stupid," Ash cried, ", why did I have to be such a danger magnet?! Maybe if I wasn't here, you wouldn't have to be suffer being controlled Lillie, I'm sorry!"

"Vulpix~" Snowy whined, and Ash said more words for Lillie.

"Lillie, I love you, and I'll miss you!" Ash cried, and NihiLILLIE's started to widen her eyes and cry too. [Get it? NihiLILLIE?]

"A-A-A..." Lillie's true conscious tried to form words through her possessed body, "...Ash...."

"Lillie?" Gladion stated, "Is that you talking?" Lillie did a slight nod, and cried more.

"A-Ash I love you t-too~" Lillie stuttered, trying to break free from Nihilego's control.

"I know you can do it Lillie," Ash whispered, ", I know you can get free, just believe in yourself."

"Pika-Pi chu!" Pikachu exclaimed, and Snowy went ahead and nuzzled Lillie's leg.

"T-thank you," Lillie whispered, before shedding more tears, ", you all mean so much!"

"It's nothing Lillie," Ash chuckled, ", I'll be right here for when you break free, okay?"

"Okay, Ashy...." Lillie giggled, then her eyes turned green, then she passed out.

"Lillie..." Ash gasped with tears, then he wiped his eyes and felt a heartbeat from Lillie's chest, "...it's okay, you're safe now." Ash then carried Lillie through the ride to the hospital, and never let Lillie out of his sight.

"Is she going to be okay?" Ash pleaded with worry, and the doctor asked if he wanted good news or bad news first, "Good news first!"

"Well, she'll live," The doctor sighed, ", bad news, her brain seems to have gotten damaged severely by the toxins, they aren't able to kill someone, but she lost a lot of her IQ and trusting capabilities during the process." Ash then went up to Lillie, and kissed her cheek to comfort her, and Lillie smiled in her sleep.

"I'll be right here until you wake up..." Ash sighed, then he hugged Snowy and Pikachu, who were also sad.

After a few hours, Lillie woke up, and saw Ash looking at her.

"A-Ash?" Lillie stuttered, "Is that you?"

"Lillie..." Ash gasped, then he went ahead and hugged her, "I thought I lost you!"

"Ashy," Lillie cried, ", I was worried about you too!"

"Hey Lillie?" Ash sighed, "I want to ask you something, if it's alright."

"Sure, what is it?" Lillie asked, and Ash kissed her forehead and continued.

"After you're able to leave," Ash sighed, ", would you be willing to be my girlfriend?" Lillie squealed and kissed Ash's lips, saying she would.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu cheered, and Snowy looked very happy for Lillie and Ash as well.

The two soon called in the others to tell them the good news about them dating.

"Congrats," Gladion chuckled, ", I'm happy for you!"

"Thanks brother!" Lillie giggled, Gladion then went to hug his sister, but she backed away for some reasons, and Ash explained what the doctor said.

"I see," Mallow sighed, ", don't worry Lillie, we'll help you get over that obstacle, promise!"

"Thank you!" Lillie exclaimed, and she then went ahead and kissed Ash one more time for the day!
