Lillie POV
From where I was standing, the Alolan shoreline looked better than ever. It feels so great to finally be at the place that I could never forget. I can finally see everyone again, after so long in Kanto traveling practically on my own. Maybe... just maybe.... when I go back, he can come with me.
No. I must be overthinking this. He probably doesn't even want to leave Alola. "Attention all passengers: We are docking in 10 minutes. If you don't have everything on you at this time, please collect your things. Thank you." The intercom went off. Looks like it's time to get off. As I head over to the exit point of the ship, I noticed a strange group in jet black clothing standing in a small circle. As I passed, it almost seemed as if their eyes followed my every move....
10 mins later.... Sun's POV
Hau and Gladion were standing behind me as we waited for Lillie to appear off the ship. I saw her almost instantly, as she was still in her Z-Powered Form that she had on when she left. When she stepped off, she looked straight at me, and at that exact moment I swear my heart stopped.
"SUN!!" she yelled as she immediately starts running to me with open arms. I gladly embrace her into a hug as she wraps her arms around me.
"I missed you so much!" she says as she buries her face in my shoulder.
"I missed you too Lillie. I'm so glad you're back."
"I am too. I missed Alola too much while I was gone. I had to come back."
As Lillie and I are talking, I can see Hau and Gladion in the background snickering to each other. Lillie must have heard it too because suddenly she breaks the hug and her face is almost as red as a Scizor. I felt my face getting warmer too, but I turn around and glare at them. They notice and stop laughing, but that didn't stop them from smiling.
"Hau! Gladion! I missed you guys." She says as she walks up and hugs them individually. "So there is one thing I want to do first before anything else. Do you mind if we go see your mother Sun?"
"My mother? If you really want to." I said, a bit surprised at her request.
We decide to race there on our Tauros. Lillie didn't have a ride pager so she chose to ride with me. I helped her up onto Tauros helped make sure she was secure.
"This ride will be bumpy Lillie. You might want to hold onto something."
She blushed slightly. "Do you mind if I hold onto you?"
"Sure. I don't mind." I say as I feel her arms wrap around my chest. I didn't understand why, but my heart was beating faster than normal.
Hau counts us off and we all floor it as fast as our Tauros can go. Gladion took the lead but I managed to overtake him while Hau got left in the back. In the end, I won the race. We hop off our Tauros and walk inside the house. My mother was watching a Pokémon Contest.
"Oh hello dear. I saw your battle. You and Hau both di-" She stopped as soon as she saw Lillie enter the house. "Lillie! It's been so long since I last saw you. How have you been? How was Kanto?" She walked up and gave Lillie a hug.
"I've been great. And Kanto has been fun, but I had to come back here. Kanto can't beat the Alolan weather. And also, I missed everyone too much."
There was still a question that was pecking at my mind since she got off the boat. "Hey Lillie. How is Lusamine doing right now?"
"Well, she is almost fully back to normal. However, she won't be able to do too much for a little while. Her expression changed to sadness. "I was going to tell you this later on, but I do have to go back to Kanto and get her. I may even keep on traveling there for some time after that too. I'm sorry."
I could tell she didn't want to tell me yet for my sake. I grew a bit sad inside, but also was happy. She still really cares about how I feel after all this time. I couldn't stay mad at her for that. "It's ok Lillie. You're here now, so let's have some fun while we can." I say to cheer her up.
She looks up towards me and smiles. "You're right. I should enjoy the fun while I am here. Are you two doing anything?" She looks towards Gladion and Hau.
Gladion scratches his head. "I need to head back to Aether Paradise and work on a few things." Hau just grins. "I need to help my grandfather with a few things. But I am free later this evening. So just meet me at Iki Town around 7:30."
Lillie nodded and turned towards me. "Ok so it looks like it's just you and me Sun. Where should we go first?" She says with excitement.
"Well there is a place that we can go swimming if you really want. It's really secluded, but it's a really famous spot." I told her
Her eyes light up. "I bought a new swimsuit not too long ago. That's perfect!"
"Then let's get ready." I said with a bit of enthusiasm. I haven't been to there in so long but now I can share it with Lillie.
We waved Hau and Gladion off and then we both went into my room and changed. When we finished changing, we left and went to Kala'e Bay. I was sure she hadn't been there before, and I was right when I saw her expression.
"I saw this in a panflit about famous Alolan attractions but It looks so much more beautiful in person! Thanks so much for taking me here Sun." She said as I feel her throw her arms around me. I embrace her in another hug, and for a while, we just stay like that.
When we broke apart, I see her face is full of sadness. "I am so sorry Sun. I wish I could stay in Alola with you and everyone else. But when I get back to Kanto, I really want to take on the 8 gyms."
Once again, I hide my sadness. "It's ok Lillie. You're here right now, so let's just have fun."
She looked at me. "You aren't upset?"
I didn't feel like I should lie to her. "Of course I'm upset. But I was when you left the first time. It's fine. I respect your choice."
Her face softens a bit. "Thank you Sun. You know, you could always come with me this time if you want to."
"That would be nice Lillie, but we will have to see what the League says about it." I told her.
"Ok. Let's just go swim." I take us further out on Lapras and we jump off and into the refreshing ocean. We constantly dive and swim around the bay for a little while until we finally get very tired. We go back to the beachside of the bay and lay there for a bit under some shade.
I look at my watch. It's only 4:38 so we still have time. Maybe I should tell her now... no, not yet. I look towards Lillie. "Do you want to eat something?"
"Sure. I was getting hungry." She says as I pull the picnic basket out of my bag.
"You really made this for both of us? You didn't have to do that." She asked in astonishment.
"I just thought it would be great for us to have a snack before we go do something else." I say casually. Before I could say anything else, suddenly I feel a pair of arms wrap around me.
"You didn't have to do this Sun. Thank you so much." I return the hug. "But I wanted to Lillie. Don't worry about it. It's the least I could do.
We eat some sandwiches and drink some water in the shade of the cliffside. After a bit of eating we decide it's time to head back to the house and change.
Once we changed, I came up with something else to do until 7:30. "So do you want to go shopping for a little bit Lillie?"
She picked up her backpack. "I would love to. Let's go."
I pull out my ride pager and call out Charizard. We climb up and fly to the Shopping District in the city to look at what they might have. We step into the clothing store.
"So Lillie, what dress do you want?" I ask her. Her eyes lit up so fast as soon as I said that.
"Are you serious Sun? But why"
"We are going somewhere special later tonight. Now go pick one out." I say as she gives me a quick hug and rushes to go search for one. After several minutes of looking at dresses and trying them on, she settled on a bright blue dress (My favorite color ironically). "What do you think?" she asks as she spins around.
"Perfect. I love it." I say.
I bought her the dress, and we walk through the city for a while. We decided stop and watch the sun set by the marina for a little bit.
"Wow. I haven't been able to watch something so beautiful in a while. Kanto doesn't really have this good of a view." She says in amazement.
I think it's time I tell her. With the sun setting, and the timing so perfect, I may not get a chance as good as this later on. I need to tell her how I feel.
"Hey Lillie, can I tell you something?" I said as we watch the sun a bit longer. She looked over at me and stares. "Sure. What is it?" She asks.
I grab her hand, which makes her blush. "Lillie, I enjoyed every minute of our adventure together. There was never a moment that I hated while we were together. But when you left to Kanto, I couldn't figure out what to do with myself. I spent so many days just wondering when you would come back to Alola. There was something that I never got to tell you whenever you left." I could see tears rolling down her face. Her face was blushing red.
I took a deep breath. "Lillie. I love you." As I said those words, I felt time stop around us. She looked up at me and wiped her tears away. "Sun, I love you too. I have been wanting to tell you too for so long. "
We lean in close to each others face. I place one hand on her cheek. And then we kiss. I place my hands on her hips, while she wraps her arms around my neck. We kissed for what felt like forever. When we finally separated, we held hands and continued to watch the sunset together.
After the sun had set, I looked at my watch and got really surprised. It was already 7:15! I look towards Lillie. "Hey Lillie, we have to be at that one place here pretty soon. Let's go home and get ready." I tell her
"Ok. Let's go then." I grab her hand and we walk home. As we pass by the school, I noticed a really strange group in dark clothes by the fence....
Ok this chapter was very drawn out, but I thought that for something like this, I had to make it pretty long. Hopefully it came out right. I was planning to upload this later, but I decided that a chapter with this much development had to go up now. So let me know in the comments, who is your favorite character in Pokémon in general. That means from anywhere. The anime, the manga, the games, ect. Mine is probably Brock. He just puts so much effort into keeping everyone healthy, including all the Pokémon he has ever been around. Hopefully you all enjoyed this chapter and have a good day.
