You open your eyes partly, it was still dark. You sigh and turn around in your bed. Suddenly you feel a body next to you. You scare up for a second:
"Lillie?!"
She wakes up:
"Yes?" She asks, moaning and stretching her arms.
You smile:
"You know that this is a single bed, right?"
She shivers:
"Yes, but I was cold. I needed some warmth."
You let your hand glide through her long blonde hair:
"It's alright. Perhaps I'll ask Blue for a double bed?"
She laughs quietly:
"That would be weird, imagine it... like: 'Hey, Blue, can I have a double bed' 'Why the heck, Y/n?' 'Because... I need much spaaaace...?' That would be pretty awkward, wouldn't it?" She says, still giggling.
You laugh too:
"Of course I'll tell him about our relationship first."
You can see her green eyes shining in the dark:
"Are you going to tell them?"
You nod:
"I think I have to. I don't want them to discover it themselves, because that would be a bigger shock."
She kisses you with her soft lips on yours:
"You can if you want to."
"Thank you."
You put your arm around her and fall asleep again after a few minutes.

You wake up, and it is bright in your room now. You give Lillie's shoulder a kiss and get up. Everyone except Lillie was already up: you stayed awake late and talked about love. Your love, and about other couples like Ash and Dawn... were. You greet everyone:
"Morning, guys! It's good to have breakfast at Blue's place again!" You say as you walk up to them. It was 30 degrees, so they decided to sit in Blue's garden. Daisy walks up to you as well:
"Good morning, Y/n!" She says, giving you a hug.
I wouldn't do that anymore, Daisy...
Blue stands up and spreads his arms:
"There he is, our big sleepy head!"
You laugh:
"Well yes, I wasn't able to sleep well this night..."
"Why not?" Cynthia asks.
You shrug:
"Actually, there's something you guys will probably want to know..."
Blue looks interested:
"Tell us more, we're listening!"
You smile:
"Well... Lillie and I, we... we decided.... I told her I loved her, and she said she did too! We're a couple now!"
Blue jumps up:
"WHAT?! That cannot be true! You're kidding, right? Right?"
A voice from behind you surprises you:
"He's not, Blue."
Lillie appears next to you, lays her hands on your shoulders and gives you a kiss.

Blue gave a scream of happiness, Gladion and Ash ran towards you and gave you some pats and a bro hug, Cynthia, Daisy and Dawn congratulated Lillie and you next, and even Red was laughing and gave you his felicitations. You smiled:
"Cheers, man!"
Even Dawn was happy:
"I'm happy for you, Y/n, I really am! You deserve it!"
You smile, happy that she is happy too:
"Thank you, Dawn. That means a lot to me."
After everyone calmed down, you sat down with Lillie next to you.
You give her another kiss:
"I didn't expect that much... hype. Did you?" You say laughing.
She giggles:
"I didn't expect it either. It was funny though."
Everyone was in a good mood because of the good news and it was one of the best breakfasts ever, except the first breakfast with Lillie, that is.
When you were finished and everyone was inside, you spoke with Blue privately:
"Uhm, Blue? This will seem a bit weird, but... can I get a double bed?"
He laughs:
"That smells weird, indeed! What are you going to do with a double bed?"
You smile:
"Hmmm, mainly sleeping on it. Streching my legs and arms and having all the place in the world in the second place."
He thinks for a second and answers:
"All right, whatever you want, dude. There's an unused one upstairs. I'll help you with it!"
"Cheers, I could use that!"

After Blue and you placed the bed right, he left the room. Lillie laughs, sitting on the bed:
"It's nice and comfy! I'll sleep well on this one, that's for sure!"
You jump on the bed and give a sigh:
"Oooh, man, this is a great bed!" You exclaim, laying down. Lillie laughs and tickles you in your belly.
"Hey, let a man relax! Come here!" You say laughing, tickling her back.
You just lay there for a while, 'till you sit up and ask:
"Shall we take on our third gym today?"
She sits up too and hugs you from behind:
"If you want to!"
"I do, but I also care about your opinion. What do yóú want to do today?"
"Take on Lt. Surge."
"Really?"
She lays her head on your shoulder:
"Yes! Let's beat him!"
You laugh:
"It seems you're full of fire today!"
She smiles:
"Why, do you think?" She whispers, giving you a kiss.
"Let's go, then."
You're going outside, holding hands, when Gladion runs up to you:
"Hey, lovebirds! Where are you going?"
You answer him:
"We're going to body Lt. Surge! Want to come with us?"
He nods:
"If I may. I want to see you battle, perhaps I can learn some tactics, or styles, or..."
"Like you'd need that," You say laughing, "but you can come anyway!"
You helped Lillie on Charizard, jumped on as well, Gladion jumped on his one, and off you went.

"What's this?" Gladion asks as you're walking up to Vermilion City.
The city was full of grunts! They were searching the houses, or so it seemed.

You quickly hide behind a few bushes with Lillie and Gladion:
"Wait a second: I don't know for sure, but I think they're searching us. We should stay hidden..."
As you were saying that, a giant, muscled man came out of the Gym:
"What's this all about?! Team Rocket?!"
Some grunts turned around and ran away, but others came towards Surge, as it was him. Lillie came out of the bushes and rushed towards his aid.

You try to stop her:
"Lillie! Wait!"
She runs on, so you go after her, together with Gladion.
Surge was battling the grunts with a Raichu, untill Lillie, Gladion and you sent out Vulpix, Silvally and Beldum. Then they all started to run away, but luckily they were stopped by the police and got captured: a Gym trainer called them while Surge was battling.
Surge laughs, a hearty one:
"Well, well! They're off, the cowards! Thanks for the help, although I could've beat them on my own. Who are you guys?"
Lillie answers him:
"This guy here is my brother, Gladion, and this is Y/n, my boyfriend. I'm Lillie, and we came here to battle you, actually!"
Surge laughs, turning towards a few Gym trainers:
"Haaa, you hear that, lads? This girl here wants to battle me! Let's have it, then!"
You, Lillie and Gladion went inside the Gym, and you were allowed to watch the battle from inside instead of looking through a window.
The battle was harsh, Surge's Raichu was strong and held on, untill Lillie only had Metapod left! Luckily it learned Tackle, and with it's last powers, it managed to defeat Raichu! Surge went crazy because his Raichu got bombed by a Metapod, but laughed, still surprised:
"Well, Missy, seems you have-"
He stopped talking, because Lillie was holding Metapod in her arms. It was getting blue and it changed forms, from a cocoon to a butterfly! Lillie let a tear roll down her face and looked over to you:
"Y/n! It's a Butterfree!"
You gave her a nice smile:
"Wondrous, isn't it?"
She ran over to you, burried her face in your chest and gave you a long, romantic kiss.
You stroke her blonde hair:
"Well done, Lil! You absolutely smashed it!"
Surge smiles and coughs:
"Well, uhm... I still have your badge, Lillie!"
Lillie flushes:
"Oh, sorry, I totally forgot about it!" She says laughing. She also gives you another kiss:
"Good luck, love!"
You started with Riolu against his Voltorb, which was able to beat it, but it fainted against Surge's Pikachu. Bulbasaur was next up:
"Bulbasaur, use Vine Whip!"
Pikachu fainted, but Bulbasaur also went blue!
"It's evolving!"
It changed into an Ivysaur!
Well, let's beat some teams then, Ivysaur! I'm down!
Surge sent out Raichu, and after a heated battle, Ivysaur eventually fainted. Only Beldum was left:
"C'mon Beldum, I know you can do this!"
Beldum shied away and flew towards the corner of the field. You ran towards him:
"Hey, Beldum, I believe in you! Are you ready to make me proud?"
Beldum winked at you and turned around, still shy. Surge laughed:
"What's this? A shy Pokémon? We'll teach him something, Raichu! Use Thunderbolt!"
You waited 'till the right moment:
"Dodge, and use Take Down!" You shouted. Beldum dodged the beam, rushed towards Raichu and hit it with it's iron head. It instantly fainted!

"Good job, Beldum!" You scream, running towards Beldum and giving it a hug. Beldum seemed to be very happy, and stroked your face with it's head, which hurt a bit, but you were alright with that: you've won after all!
Surge laughs again:
"Well... I think this is the first time I got defeated twice in one day!" He says, reaching out his right hand:
"Well played!"
You shake hands:
"You too, Surge! You were incredible, and Raichu was too!"
He shrugs:
"Yeah, it did great! Here is your badge, by the way!"
You received the Thunder badge.

He calls Lillie as well:
"I have a TM for you both, it's called Shock Wave!"
You both thank him, say goodbye to him and Raichu and go outside with Gladion.
Lillie kisses you immediately:
"That was a-m-a-zing! Beldum was excellent as well! You did great, little guy!" She says. Beldum made a happy sound in appreciation.

"Perhaps it's best that we stay here in Vermilion. Team Rocket is most likely watching Pallet Town." Gladion says.
You turn and nod:
"It's probably best. I hope that Red, Blue and the others don't get problems because of us."
Lillie puts an arm around you:
"We should all leave Pallet, and not stay too long at one place. But you needn't worry, I'm sure the others can stand on their own."
You smile and give Lillie a quick kiss, which makes Gladion smirk again.
"Let's go to the hotel then!"

Lillie's phone had a relaxing sound! Lillie scared up for a second:
"Oh, sorry, that's my phone!" She says blushing while picking up a white, modern phone. She turns her back to Gladion and you:
"Hello? Hi, Mama! How are you? Is everything going well? ... yes I'm doing fine! Of course Y/n is here too! What? Yes, he's doing fine as well. He and I? Well, that's a long story... I'll tell you when I'm back!" She says blushing. You were only able to hear certain parts of the conversation.
"James? Yes, I heard about him, Y/n's mom told us. And how was he? Really? That's great news! ... what? I should come and visit? But mother, I can't. Not yet. I'll come back when I've beat the 8 gyms, okay? I can't, okay? I'll call you back soon! Bye, mum!"
She turns back to Gladion and you, looking a bit sad. You immediately ask her:
"Is there something wrong?"
"She... she wants me to return..." Lillie says, holding in a tear. You hug her and hold her tight to you:
"Hey, there's no need for that. We'll continue as planned, won't we?"
She burries her head in your chest again, snivelling:
"Yes. We'll go on."
She releases you and stands up:
"We will go on as planned."
You smile:
"Lusamine won't mind? What did she say?"
"That man named James visited her, and apparently he's a known and rich businessman. They get along very well, or so it seemed. They're going to have another meeting next week."
"That's great news!"
She shrugs:
"I don't think so... my mother can do anything she wants if she has all the money in the world. I know she's not evil anymore, but..."
You lay your arm around her shoulders:
"Nothing bad will happen. But we'll call her every evening, to be sure. Okay?"
Gladion sighs:
"I had to be there instead of here..."
You turn over to Gladion:
"You're more useful here, Gladion. You saved my life, remember?"
He nods:
"I remember..."
You give him a pat on the back:
"We need you here. I'm still worried about Team Rocket, and we're going to need your strength."
He sighs again:
"Alright. Let's find the hotel."

The hotel was big but not that luxurious. Not that you minded. There was enough space and 3 single beds, which Lillie didn't like that much.
Gladion puts on his pyjamas and drops into bed:
"Ow, man, I needed that! I'm pretty tired!"
You laugh:
"And you didn't even do a thing! Lillie and I are probably even more tired. It's time to sleep for us all."
Lillie fell into her bed with a sigh:
"Why isn't there a double bed?"
Gladion burst into laughter, and Lillie blushed:
"Shut up, Gladion!"
He kept laughing, 'till Lillie threw a pillow at him. From that moment, everyone was quiet. You couldn't resist laughing a bit as well:
"Good night, everyone."
Lillie blew you a kiss:
"Night night, Y/n."
Gladion wished you both a good night too, and you all fell asleep.
Your dream was a bad one, about Giovanni...

That was number 19, guys!
First of all, thank you so much for the 4k reads on this story! You are amazing!
The previous chapter was probably better, since the it was apparently amazing according to the most of you XD but it are the lesser chapters that make the better chapters really stand out!
I have 2 questions for you. The first one is related to the story, where I want your influence:
Now that Dawn and Ash have broke up or nearly broke up, who do you want to be Ash's girlfriend? He loves Serena for the moment, but I could also give him another girlfriend if you'd like. It's up to you. Just a note: Not Lillie. I don't like Ash x Lillie, I don't know why, I just can't stand Ash XD

*No offense, Bl0t0rch, I like your story XD*

And the second question is just a random one, as always:
Are you going to buy Ultra Sun/Moon? If so, which starter are you going to pick? I'm still thinking: do I pick Rowlet or Litten? I could pick Litten again for the nostalgia, or I could also pick Rowlet for something new. I don't hate Popplio or something, not at all, but my brother's already going to pick it XD
Sorry for the slow upload, I'm on a vacation in the US.
Anyway, have a great day, my dudes, and I'll see you again in the next chapter!
