My Shining Sun - Lillie x male reader (Pokémon)

Chapter 9: Reaching Roots

Waking up again, but not as good as always, because you had a dream, or better: A nightmare. Of Giovanni. But you didn't mind: You were going to Kanto, together with Lillie! And you will get the chance to get to know Red and Blue! You packed up: Your cap, your bag, and the only Pokémon you took with you were Nebby and Incineroar. The others were in the PC box, for real problems. You took 500.000 Pokédollars with you too, just in case. You practised some guitar and went training, no Pokémon training, just fitness. Your mother greeted you, and she went to the baker this time, to your surprise:
"Goodmorning, Y/n! Want some pastries?"
You smiled:
"Yeah, I'm down to clown! Wow, so many! We are never going to eat it all! But we'll wait 'till Lillie is up too."
She nodded, said:"Of course!" and asked:
"And, what do you think about your journey?"
"I think it's one of the best ideas ever! I only fear one thing: It's Kanto, the place where Team Rocket's base was..."
She lays a hand on your shoulder:
"Y/n, don't worry about them. You're way better than any of them, and there is a big chance you'll never even see a single grunt there!"
You nod, you're beginning to sound like a coward now, you think for yourself:
"You're right... I have my Pokémon by my side."
"And you have your friends! Lillie and those Red and Blue guys."
"When do we leave?"
You hear a voice from behind you:
"In a few hours already, goodmorning!"
You feel a hug, and see Lillie's face next to yours.
"Goodmorning, Lillie!"
"Ready for the journey, Y/n? I am at least! We just need to say goodbye to Gladion and mom, Hau and Hala, and to Kukui, and we'll be gone!"
Your mom smiles:
"Well, you can wish them goodbye all at once! I've arranged a kind of little goodbye party!"
Lillie exclaims:
"That's amazing! I love it! When do they come?"
"Well, they come-"
Ding dong
"That would be the door" You say ironicly. You sat up and walked towards the door, when suddenly the door nearly touched your face! A happy man walked in:
"Alola, cousin!!! Oh sorry, I just walked in, as usual!"
"Alola, Kukui. That's allright! And where's Burnet?"
A voice from behind the door answered:
"I'm here! Alola!"
And a lot of other voices yelled all together:
"Alola!!!"
It were all your friends!
You ate breakfast all together: Lusamine and Gladion, Kukui and Burnet, Hau and Hala, Mallow, Lana and Kiawe were there, and even Samson Oak had been invited!"
You gave a little speech while you were all eating together just for fun:
"Friends, I'm glad you did all come today. All thanks to my mom, 'cause without her, you wouldn't be here now. Lillie and I are leaving to Kanto soon, but I wouldn't have left without saying goodbye to you guys! I just wish to thank you all for coming, and for being there for me when I needed you. So, thank you!"
It was a pretty bad speech, but you never gave one before, and you didn't mind it was bad: The message came through, and that was most important. You had breakfast for a very long time, it was amazing. But the clock ticks on, time passes, and soon the 'party' was over. Lillie and you had to leave for the ferry. You kissed your mom goodbye:
"I'll be back as soon as possible."
She nodded:
"I know, son. Now go and make me proud! And don't leave Lillie alone, never."
"Never! Goodbye mom."
"Goodbye, Y/n."
You turned over to Lillie to see if she was ready, and of course she was!
"Let's go then! Goodbye mom, thanks for letting me stay here!" She said to your mom.
She even said "mom"!
She smiled:
"You're always welcome here, Lillie, you know that. Byebye!"
With those words, Lillie and you left for the marina, where you found Red and Blue, and the last one greeted you immediately:
"Y/n! We're glad you're coming with us too! We're also proud of the fact that such a kind person will be staying in our humble abode!" He joked and continued:
"But all joking aside, I'm glad to have you by our side. Team Rocket seems to be a threat once again, so we need all the trainers we can get! And you're really kind too! We're glad to help you and Lillie on your journey, isn't that right, Red?"
"....."
"Will you ever say something, mate? ... Anyways, let us leave this beautiful region then!"
Lillie grabs your hand:
"Come on, Y/n, let's get going!"
You turn around for one second, to see your beloved Alola just once again, and prayed to Arceus that nothing bad would happen to it while you were away. Then you let Lillie lead you to the boat, sat down next to her and Blue and prepared for long waiting. You were talking with Lillie, chitchatting really, and suddenly you remembered your question for Blue (and Red, but he doesn't answer much anyway):
"Hey Blue, I might be mistaken, but aren't you the Kanto champion?"
"I am, actually! And Red here is-"
You finish his words:
"The one who beat team Rocket the first time!"
"He is!"
"I knew it! Well, I'm honored then, being able to travel with such legends!"
He smirks:
"You're not the only one who should be honored, for I am sitting next to a colleague!"
You are surprised:
"How did you know?"
"I was sitting in a bar, next to an Alolan native. He was very kind and I kinda telled my story and all, and he asked me if I were ever going back to Kanto. I said I was soon, with Red, Y/n and Lillie. When I mentioned your name, he jumped up and said with cheer: "That's our champion!", so yeah... It was a village elder , from Seafolk Village."
You smile:
"Oh yeah, Lillie and I met him on our journey!"
"Oooh journeys, I love journeys! Tell me everything!"
You smiled and began your story, which took long, but so did the boat trip anyway.
