Lillie was trying to get to sleep in her giant bed. She cuddled up close to her stuffed doll designed as a Lilligant.

It was raining heavily as the thunder boomed out of the sky.

She was scared to death as she clutched on to her doll.

"Lillie? Are still awake?" a male called out.

Lillie looked up to see her dad standing in the doorframe. He was in his usual attire of a lab jacket as he was always working.

"Daddy... I'm scared..." Lillie muttered as she held on to her doll.

Her father signalled Lillie to move over as he laid down next to her. He pressed a button on a remote he had.

The roof in her room turned into a celestial sky with stars, planets, the moon and much more.

Lillie scared look turned into a look of happiness as all the colours of the image illuminated the room.

"Not scared anymore?" Lillie's father laughed.

Lillie shook her head to signal no.

"See that? That lime-green cloud? That is what we call a nebula." Lillie's father explained.

"It's pretty!" Lillie whispered as her father laughed again.

"You know what? We had someone report they saw a Pokemon that looked like a nebula." Lillie's father told the young girl.

Another blast of thunder roared as Lillie screamed a little as she grabbed her father.

"There, there Lillie. It's not going to hurt you. Oh look!" her father assured as he pointed up to the projection.

Lillie watched the image was a meteor shower zoomed across.

"Guess what? You know how Gladion and Ken are always trying to scare you about aliens and how they are going to take you away in your sleep?" her father asked.

Lillie nodded her head.

"There might be something out there. But I will always be here to protect you from the big bad scary aliens!" her father explained before tickling the girl as she laughed, rolling on to her side laughing.

But when she rolled back to see her father, he was gone and so was the night projection of her roof.

She got up and looked around a little.

"F-father?" she questioned out loud.

"B-but Madame President! PLEASE! NO! NO! IT WON'T HAPPEN AGA-"

BANG!

A sharp scream could be heard as a loud thud echoed down to Lillie's room as her door was slightly open.

Lillie covered her ears and closed her eyes as she crawled under her bedsheets.

"You are right..." a female spoke as she lowered the gun. "It won't happen again..."

The women turned to the bystander.

"Clean this ugly mess up before it corrupts my beautiful baby girl. Now or you're next." A women demanded. "I will not allow her gorgeous heart to become ugly like everyone else!"

"Y-y-yes Madame President..."

Someone was coming to Lillie's as she could hear the sound of a pair of high heels coming in her direction.

The door opened slightly as Lillie's eyes opened wide as she clutched on to the sheets as a tear or two flowed down her face.

Lillie thrusted upwards, drenched in sweat as she gave a little yelp off.

She wiped the sweat off and panted.

Another nightmare...

It was raining outside, which was rare in Alola.

Nebby was completely out as he was asleep in the bag and the egg was surrounded with pillows to ensure it wouldn't tip over.

The room they were staying in had a kitchen, a bathroom and two bedrooms.

She got up and turned on the light to head to kitchen to get a drink of water.

She noticed Ash's and Hau's door was open. Hau was all over the place on his bed with the sheets completely messed up with Pichu snoring on a pillow next to his head.

If that had of been her a year ago, she would have been in deep trouble for messing up her bed so badly.

Ash was facing the wall and gave off soft breathing.

She made her way to the kitchen and got a drink.

Lillie took a sip of the water and sighed.

The time was some ridiculous hour in the morning and after her little nightmare, she probably wasn't getting to sleep anytime soon.

Returning to her room, she pulled out her laptop and search Ash's name. Reports of him being missing or dead were the first to pop up, but that was not what Lillie was after.

After scrolling through a few pages, Lillie found what she was looking for.

Ash's league history.

Clicking on it, she could see the teams he had used in the past from Kanto to Kalos in there retrospective leagues. All his opponents teams as well and pretty much anyone else's team from the past as well.

Ash had an impressive amount of Pokemon. Charizard, Sceptile, Heracross, Krookodile, Infernape, Greninja and many, many more...

But he had lost to some big names as well...

Tobias of Sinnoh, when he used a Darkrai and a Latios.

Cameron in Unova, who made the semi's after losing to a trainer using only Eeveelutions.

And Alain of Kalos with two pseudo legendaries and a mega Charizard X.

She continued to research about Ash for another hour until trying to force herself to return to the land of slumber. She closed her eyes and snuggled down into her bed.

It was going to be a long night...

A clap of thunder boomed in the sky as her eyes opened instantly.

Sure, Lillie was afraid of thunder anymore, but it came at a surprise.

Looking down into her bag, she carefully made her way around Nebby and pulled out the same Lilligant doll that was in her dream and she clutched on to it as she listen to the rain hit the roof.

"Day 4 or... 5, one other the other. We are still on the move as we have no clue might be out here. We still have no way of being able to contact the government. Knowing my hot-headed father, he is going to re-start a war with the wrong enemy. We don't know what attacked us but we know for sure that it was not the Orrean terrorists." Jack North said to a recorder as it recorded the message.

"Never in my entire life have a seen a Pokemon like that before..." Duncan said out loud as the group of survivors marched on in the scorching heat of the desert.

"I'm telling you man! I've said it over and over, that thing was not a pokemon!" Tom snapped slightly.

"Then what was it Einstein? Huh?" Duncan taunted. "And what exactly was it after?"

"When Colonel Denton wanted to see me, I got trapped in the conference room for a while until I smashed the window to get out. It seemed like it was hacking our system..." Jack explained as the group followed him, Duncan and Tom.

"What the hell does UB-06: Growth mean?" Jack said, stopping and turning around to shout the question.

It was an eerie awkward silence as Jack handed around the image he took for the monster.

"I think that's what it's called. UB-06: Growth, yeah. It snapped at the screen and if you take a closer look at the picture, you can see like a polygon model that sort of looks like it." Jack said, getting the solider with the image to zoom in and pointing at the picture.

"Guys. What if it's not over?" a solider asked. "What if there is more? Like others like it?"

"Then the government has a lot of explaining to do. My father has a lot of explaining to do!" Jack announced, hissing towards the end.

One solider took the phone and looked at it.

"It all most looks like a girl..." he said.

"This is going to sound insane but before Golduck used flash on it to let me escape, it almost seemed like it was giggling. Li-like a teen girls giggle." Duncan explained, stuttering his words and repeating them. "It was touching my face as softly as it could to do god knows what!"

"Look. As much as I'm going to rip apart my dad, we need to get this info to the Kalos government before we start a war." Jack explained.

"First we need to find shelter, food and water. What we have left isn't going to cut it." Tom shouted.

"(Sigh) Right, right. Food and Water is priority. Let's go." Jack said.

"Golduck can provide water for the time being. But once he starts to get weak..." the solider with the Golduck explained.

Jack nodded as they marched on.

Ash rubbed his eyes as he slowly woke up.

He saw Rotom asleep in the pokedex but on the screen it displayed the time.

5:45 AM

Ash groaned as he slammed his head on his pillow. He looked over and saw that Hau was sound asleep.

He had to go to the toilet.

It was urgent so he rushed to the loo and did business.

Passing by at first he didn't notice Lillie on the couch.

He walked out of the bathroom and this time, saw the blonde.

"Lillie?" he asked.

The girl turned around and awkwardly smiled, she had a blanket wrapped around herself.

"O-oh! Uh, morning?"

"Lillie, it is like quarter to six in the morning... What are you doing up?" Ash asked rubbing his eyes.

"Oh! Ummm, just watching some TV!" she lied.

"Lillie. The TV is off." Ash pointed out.

Lillie lowered her head before looking back at him.

"You'll laugh... It's kind of stupid." she said softly.

"I'm not Hau alright. I promise, I won't laugh." He assured as he sat down next to her.

Lillie just sighed.

"I had a nightmare. Again..." she muttered as Ash raised an eyebrow. "This is the first time, I've stayed away from Kukui's place since I left home to help Nebby. I'm just a little nervous."

"Lillie, what do you mean by again?" Ash asked, fully awake but tired.

Lillie sighed.

"I will admit, I'm not the bravest of souls. As a kid, you name it, I'll be scared of it... Bug type pokemon, thunder, clowns, the dark... Oh my god this so embarrassing!" she whined, looking away from Ash, not wanting him to see her eyes water up.

"Hey! Listen. I'm still scared of clowns!" Ash lied. He lied to help her calm down so she wouldn't make herself sick from overworking herself.

Lillie turned around to him.

"(Sniff) Y-y-you are?" she asked.

Ash nodded. He did feel guilty about lying but he didn't want to clean up vomit later...

He then noticed the Lilligant doll.

"Hey? This yours?" he asked, grabbing the doll. "Huh, ironic. Lillie. Lilligant? Ha-ha." Ash joked, seeing the comparison of the two names.

"My mother made it for my 4th birthday... Lilligant is her favourite pokemon. Hence why she and my father named me Lillie." The blonde confessed.

Ash tucked it in the blanket she was wrapped in.

Lillie's eyes began to feel heavy as she dosed off again. Her head landed on Ash's shoulder.

Cliché

"Shit..." Ash cured in his mind.

Ash sighed and gave in to his fate.

He pulled some of the loose blanket on to himself and closed his eyes as well.

"Daddy... Don't go..." Lillie muttered.

Ash looked back at her and shrugged off what she had just said.

(A few hours later.)

Hau woke up and didn't bother to have a shower, he just wanted to explore the city. Hell, he didn't even notice Ash was gone.

He opened the door and then saw his two companions.

His mouth opened slightly.

The Melemele native walked around and saw the sight and laughed a little, trying his best to contain it.

As when she fell asleep, Lillie's head was still placed on Ash's shoulder as his head rested on hers.

Pichu giggled as Hau came up with an evil plan.

"Hey Pichu? Go get Rotom will yah?" Hau said as he scavenged through a few draws.

The small electric type came back with the pokedex as he gasped at the sight.

"Oh! This is too good!" Rotom said as he flew around them, taking pictures.

Hau found a marker and wrote on their faces, stuff like monobrows, a third eye, Hau was here, Hau is the best trainer ect. Moles, a mustache on Lillie, and a scar like what you would draw on a kid pretending to be a pirate.

"Hmm, not my best work. But it will do!" Hau said as Rotom took a few snaps. "Say Rotom? What go out for breakfast?" Hau offered.

"Nah, I'm gunna get more sleep."

"Suit yourself. Come on Pichu." Hau said, fleeing the scene with his mouse running up on to his shoulder.

Hau left the Pokecenter and left to grab something to eat.

"So, with Eevee added, we have plenty of options when it comes to an evolution." Hau said to Pichu, showing some knowledge.

Being Hau, he ended up raiding the local malasada shop of all the malasada's. He and Pichu came out fuller than a Snorlax.

"Ugh! Dexio you are hopeless with directions!" a girl yelled.

"I see you're not doing much to help Sina!" the boy answered back.

Hau turned around to see the two adults arguing, both with foreign accents.

The boy or as the girl called him Dexio, had a yellow shirt with a silhouette of an Alolan Exeggutor on it. He wore blue jeans that were cut all over the place and regular shoes to go with them. He had a beige fedora on top of his ear length brown hair. He had blue lensed sun glasses covering his eyes. In his hands was a phone.

The girl or as Dexio called her Sina, had a white tank top on to go with her high cut short jeans. She wore pink toeless flat shoes. She had light brown skin with curly purple hair. Like Dexio, her eyes were covered with a pair of large black sun glasses.

Dexio looked up and saw Hau.

"Hey kid? You know where Konikoni city is? Stupid tracker on my phone may have gotten us lost haha." Dexio laughed.

Hau frowned.

"No sorry. I'm not from around these pa-"Hau started only to be interrupted by a voice he hated.

"It's not to far from here, just go down and you'll have to go through Diglett's tunnel." Mallow said, butting in as Hau's jaw dropped.

"Ah! Thank you. Gimme that!" Sina thanked Mallow before swiping the tracker off Dexio. "So we don't get lost again..." she growled slightly before the duo walked off.

"Why are you still here!? Don't you have like farm work to do or something?!" Hau complained as the girl rolled her eyes.

"Day off. Now, where is that hot friend of yours with the accent?" she asked Hau with an eager grin.

"What?" Hau questioned as Mallow slapped her head due to her cousins sheer stupidity

She looked to the left and saw some boys her age. She grinned at Hau.

"You know what? Forget it!" Mallow said, bending slightly over to point in Hau's face with her ass in the air and on display. "It is obviously too complicated for your small brain!" Mallow taunted.

In the corner of her eye, she could see the males looking and making 'positive' comments about the show.

Hau growled and caught on with where she was going with this.

"Really? You are still doing things like this? Wait!" Hau asked until he realised what Mallow meant before about Ash. "Grr! I'm not going to let you get your hands on my idol!" Hau threatened.

"Or what? Hmm. What you going to do cuz?" Mallow asked smartly.

"You're a Pokemon trainer! I challenge you! Right here, right now CUZ!" Hau yelled back.

Mallow did a little twirl.

"Fine. Go Steenee!" Mallow announced as the grass type appeared and did a twirl like her trainer did. It had a white head with large pink eyes. On top of Steenee's head was two leafs acting like hair. Her main body and torso was purple until it reached her white waist and her two pointy purple legs.

"Stee!" she cried happily.

"PICHU! Make her burn in the deepest pit in the distortion world!" Hau commanded as Pichu jumped down and growled.

"Attract." Mallow said calmly as Steenee danced around seductively as Pichu's eyes turned into hearts.

Hau's jaw dropped.

"Energy ball!"

Steenee giggled as she created the ball of grass energy and shot it at Pichu. The blast flung him back as it knocked him out but with a smile still on his face.

"Oh crap..." Hau muttered.

"So cousin? Give in or do you want keep going?" Mallow asked with a smirk as Hau returned Pichu.

"Erg, Popplio is no good here. I haven't had time to train or even interact with him yet, but Eevee go!" Hau cried as Eevee appeared.

But as soon as he did, he tried to run off.

Hau returned him and resent him back out to the field.

Again, he tried to run off.

The process continued for a little.

Eevee turned around and hissed at his trainer.

"Oi! You like fighting don't you? We have a battle and I need you to win it!" Hau explained. Eevee turned around and finally saw Steenee dancing around.

Eevee grinned.

"Eevee use-"Hau commanded but before he could, Eevee dashed forward aggressive, using double team in the process. All the copies turned into shadow ball which hit one at a time from all angles.

"Hey! Eevee! I didn't sa-"

Eevee dug underground and reappeared, ramming his head into Steenee's gut as she cried in pain.

"Neest!"

Steenee landed on her back as Eevee towered over her with a sadistic grin.

"STEN! STEN!" Steenee cried out.

"Hau! Control your god damn Pokemon!" Mallow scowled.

"EEVEE!" Hau growled as Eevee bit into Steenee's neck using bite.

Mallow gasped as she rushed forward, but Eevee let loose a shadow ball and fired it at Mallow, luckily she got out of the way in time.

"Mallow!" Hau yelled out as Eevee continued to bite into Steenee.

Hau pulled out Eevee's Pokeball but the Kanto Pokemon saw this and fired a shadow ball at him, this time actually hitting him and blasting the pokeball away.

"Argh..." Hau moaned as he clutched on to his hand.

"Stee...!" Steenee continued on as Eevee bit harder.

"Popplio! Go!" Hau shouted, throwing the ball with his other hand.

Popplio appeared and landed gracefully and saw the Eevee attack the Steenee.

"Pop?" Popplio asked her trainer.

"He belongs to us but he won't listen! Use disarming voice!" Hau said as Popplio let out the wave of sound.

The fairy attack hit but got Steenee as well as she finally fainted, but from the bite marks, blood was flowing out.

Eevee redirected his attention to Popplio and let loose a wave of shadow balls.

"Use aqua jet to dodge them all!"

Popplio covered herself in water and used the attack to avoid the ghost type attack.

"Crash in!"

Popplio shot down hard on Eevee as the evolution pokemon endured the attack.

"Popplio! Keep going!" Hau commanded as he saw Mallow go next to her severely injured Pokemon.

Eevee glanced over to her and smirk.

He wriggled his way out of the aqua jet and fired a large shadow ball at the two girls.

Mallow screamed closed her eyes as Hau grunted in fear.

Popplio acted fast enough and used aqua jet to out speed the shadow ball, got in front of the duo and used disarming voice to hold it off. She was doing well at first but realized Eevee continued to add shadow balls on to the pre-existing one, making it even larger.

"Popplio! Hang in!" Hau yelled.

Popplio raised her voice even louder as she started to glow.

Hau and Mallow gasped as Eevee took a step back.

Popplio began to change shape and grow larger.

Her voice became even louder than before as the shadow ball broke apart into purple dust as Popplio finished glowing.

She had grown larger as her body was now a light sky blue. The frill she once had around her neck was now around her body as two more grew as well. Her old ears now had two spheres on top of them with the top sphere being white. She had large black eyes with pink pupils.

"Brio!" she cried in defense.

"Popplio! You evolved into a Brionne!" Hau said excitedly as his starter had just evolved

Eevee back off a little.

Brionne used aqua jet, but compared to before, it was faster and stronger.

Before Eevee could react, Brionne slammed herself into the normal types gut as the pair went upwards.

She flicked him up a little higher and used aqua jet to jolt her up as she used a powerful disarming voice to send Eevee back down on to the ground at a blistering pace.

The normal type slammed into the ground as he made a little crater, completely knocked out.

Brionne carried herself down on a bubble she made before doing a little bow.

Hau quickly got to Eevee's pokeball and returned him.

"Brionne!" Hau shouted, hugging his water type.

"Rion!" the pop star Pokemon said happily.

Hau looked up at his cousin and her Pokemon.

"There, there. Help will be here soon..." Mallow said to her injured Pokemon.

Awkwardly, Hau approached her.

"So..." he muttered.

"What?" she snapped.

"Uh... Why don't I help take Steenee back to the Pokecenter?" Hau offered, feeling bad for what Eevee did.

Despite their relationship with one another, Mallow didn't want to return her to her pokeball and she couldn't carry her.

"Fine!" Mallow grumbled as he picked up Steenee. The duo headed for the Pokecenter.

"A good rest and a few days of relaxation and she should be fine." Nurse joy told the two green haired trainers.

Mallow sighed in relief.

Hau groaned in relief knowing he can now leave the person he hated most in the world.

He collected Pichu and his crazy Eevee and returned to his place where he found both Ash and Lillie awake with the markings still on their faces.

Lillie looked like she was going to burst.

Ash on the other hand looked as if he was trying not to laugh.

"Uh... Morning?"
