You run to Dawn's room and slam the door in your haste:
"Dawn?"
The window is open, and her luggage gone. You return to Ash and sit down next to him:
"How much time has passed before you discovered she was gone?"
He sighs, laying on the sofa:
"Half an hour or something..."
How stupid!
"You should have warned me immediately! You know she has a Togekiss, right? I can't find her anymore now, can I?"
Ash shrugs:
"Perhaps it's better to leave her alone. It wouldn't help if she'd be here against her will either."
You turn on the TV, there was another contest today:
"You really should have buried the hatchet. I can't stand you quarreling your entire life."
Ash stands up, offended:
"Do you really think I haven't tried?! Because I did! I did important things, while you did... what? Preparing breakfasts, flirting and kissing with Lillie and buying houses?"
Serena is on TV... good timing...
You just sigh, annoyed:
"Ash, say whatever you want about me, but keep Lillie out of this." You say, standing up as well:
"I see you're tired and heartbroken. I'll leave you alone." You say, wanting to turn off the TV. Ash stops you:
"No, don't!"
You hesitate:
"I don't that's going to make you any better."
Ash sits down again:
"I said: don't. I want to see her."
You hand over the remote control:
"Whatever you want. I'm going to bed."
As you are walking towards the staircase, Ash whispers:
"Have fun with Lillie."
You decide to stay cool, although you're boiling inside. The best thing is to ignore him and walk on. The others are already in their rooms, most likely too sad to be able to sleep. You walk inside your room, with Lillie still sleeping like a rose. You take off your t-shirt, put on your night pants and lay down next to her.
Ash is still watching TV downstairs...
You fall asleep with only Ash and Dawn on your mind.

"Y/n?"
You open your eyes, to see Lillie's eyes inches away from yours. You try to get up, but she's sitting on your lap. You smile:
"Morning, Lillie. I see you've slept well!"
She nods and kisses you, and you answer her with the same weapon. She laughs happily, and you spent what seemed to be minutes romantically kissing, holding her waist.
She finally answers:
"I have! Have you?"
You think back to what happened yesterday, and your face turns gloomy. Lillie rests her head on your shoulder:
"What is it, Y/n? You seem bothered..."
You nod:
"Lillie, there's something you probably want to know..."
She smiles weakly:
"You can tell me everything, Y/n, for I love you."
You sigh:
"It's about Dawn, she... she left us."
She pulls away for a second:
"Dawn? Gone? B-but... but she has been with us from the beginning! She can't-" She sobs, and you feel a tear that fell on your chest. You stroke her soft blonde hair:
"She can, Lil, and you know it. From the moment she and Ash broke up, things got pretty crazy. And I didn't help her either."
She sits up, still in tears:
"You know what would cheer me up? A good, fair Pokémon battle. No hurting each other, just a normal, fun battle. It's been a long time since we've done that." She says, teasing you with her puppy eyes. That makes you laugh again:
"Heey, don't give me that look! You know I can't resist it!" You say, sitting up as well and giving her a long kiss, savouring every inch of her lips and tongue:
"Anyway, I'd love to battle you, Lillie! Let's get it!" You exclaim, taking her hand and leading her downstairs, both laughing.
Arriving downstairs, you only see Ash and Gladion. Alf was still sleeping. The others left early in the morning to search for information about Team Rocket in the areas you told them to go to.
"Alola!" You say, doing the usual Alolan greeting. Ash nods back:
"Morning."
Gladion leans back in his chair, sitting in the kitchen:
"Alola! It's been a while since I heard that!"
You smile:
"Lillie and I have decided to have a battle, we'll have breakfast afterwards."
Gladion nods:
"Fly, lovebirds, fly! I'll scout Cerulean in my search for Team Rocket, and I'll clean the city too!"
Ash doesn't react, so you let him be and go to the training grounds with Lillie. She looks around her at the terrain:
"This is fine."
You nod:
"So a three versus three it is?"
"I'm down for that!" She says, choosing her three Pokémon carefully:
"Let's go for it! Vulpix, I choose you!" She shouts, sending out the cute Pokémon you gave her once. You smile:
"Midos, your turn."
Riolu stands in battle position, ready to dodge or hit. You look at Lillie:
"Ladies first!"
She nods:
"Vulpix, Ice Shard!"
You stay calm:
"Dodge and counter with Force Palm."
Vulpix faints instantly by the super- effective move. Lillie sighs and sends out her next Pokémon:
"Butterfree, I choose you!" She says, sending out the butterfly you gave her as a Metapod during your monologue, a while ago at the Sevii Islands.
"Force Palm." You say, and Riolu runs towards Butterfree with his fist. Unfortunately, it dodges the attack. Lillie smiles:
"Gust!"
Riolu gets pushed down on the ground by the wind.
Lillie looks at you:
"Watch this, Y/n! Sleep Powder!"
Butterfree spreads a strong-smelling aroma, and Midos, which just got up, falls down again, asleep now. You laugh:
"Really?"
She chuckles cutely:
"Really! No hard feelings. Now, Gust again!"
Midos gets knocked out by the attack, and you withdraw him:
"Metang, it's your chance now. Metal Claw!"
The two Pokémon begin a close combat battle in the air, which Metang wins eventually. Lillie nods:
"Well done, Butterfree. Return. Go, Ponyta! Use Flame Wheel!"
You nod:
"Dodge it and use Confusion."
But your shiny Metang was too exhausted by the previous battle, and it wasn't able to dodge the incoming attack. It fainted in a second. You smile and withdraw Metang, to send out Ivysaur next:
"I think you got me here, Lillie!"
She coos:
"Yay! Ponyta, Flame Wheel, quick!"
She's rushing...
"Ivysaur, dodge it." You say, completely confident now.
Ivysaur dodges the charging Ponyta with ease and waits for the next step. Ponyta almost charged out of the battlefield. You inhale sharply, and your waist begins to shine purple. It was a good thing you decided to give him the TM Venoshock yesterday:
"Ivysaur, this is all we've worked for! Acid Downpour!" You shout, performing the usual dance. A few seconds later, the Ponyta lays on the ground with twirls in its eyes. You know what that means, and you return Ivysaur, after saying "Good job, bud.". You walk over to Lillie:
"Lil, I'm-"
You get interrupted by a hug:
"That was so good, Y/n! You played that really well! You totally bombed me!"
You shake your head, rubbing her back:
"I didn't! I was actually pretty much defeated. You are really, really amazing! Untill I remembered Z-moves still exist." You say, smiling sheepishly. She gives you a kiss:
"You have to teach me how to use Z-moves too sometime!" She says, performing her own Z-move like before. She continues:
"You may have beat me this time, Y/n, but next time, things will be different! Be sure of that!" She says smiling. You kiss back:
"I don't doubt it!" You say, smelling the aroma of her perfume. You release her:
"I'll get us a drink, I think we could both use it. I'll be right back."
You get inside, to see... nobody. You shrug and get the beverages:
"Moomoo milk for Lillie, as usual, Komala coffee for myself, as usual." You whisper to yourself, as you fetch your favourite drinks. The silence starts to become disturbing, so you turn around and say "Gladion? Ash? Alf?", expecting them to be in their rooms. A sudden shriek interrupts your thoughts:
"Y/n!!! Help me!!!"
You slam the door and go outside, where you see Lillie, struggling with a Team Rocket grunt. You send out your Alolan Raichu and run towards them.

Lillie's POV

I turned my back towards the training grounds, where I just lost to Y/n.
He's so good! He ís the best trainer in the world! I could have won though... perhaps I was too eager, too reckless.
I was strolling to the house slowly, still thinking about the battle, when suddenly one hand grabbed my shoulder and the other my mouth.

I get pressed against the house's wall, while a creepy voice says:
"Well, well, girlie! What have we got here?"
I try to get him off me, but the man is too strong. The only way I see is to bite in his hand.
Here we go!
I bite the hand, and he lets go for a second. I cease my chance:
"Y/n!!! Help me!!!"
I turn around to see a grunt cursing:
"Damn you!" He says, grabbing my arm with a firm grip. He laughs:
"I was thinking... should I give you to the boss, or do I keep you for myself? Why does a beautiful lass like you wander off here on her own anyway?"
I suddenly hear a confident voice behind me, the voice I always loved, always trusted:
"She's not alone. Get off her."
The grunt turns me around, using me as a shield. I tear up:
"Y/n!"
The grunt recognises the name:
"So... the Champion, eey? Doesn't look like a champ to me! So, what now, boy?"
Raichu appears next to Y/n, and he nods:
"Now you let her go and you disappear from my life, or you'll die."
The grunt laughs cruelly:
"Ooooh, I see! You want your baby back! Look how frightened she is without you!" He says, stroking my hair. Y/n's hands become fists:
"Touch her again and I'll skin your fingers, one by one."
The man pulls his hand away, as if my hair was cursed. Y/n nods, smiling:
"See? Not so difficult, is it? Raichu."
He says calmly. The sudden sound of a knife sliding from its scabbard gives me goosebumps, and a second later, I feel the cold steel against my throat. The grunt laughs:
"Bwahaha! Not difficult, boy, but how easy is this now? Return your Raichu!"
I am about to shake my head to give Y/n a sign, but I soon feel a sting in my neck. Y/n does as requested and sends back Raichu.

Suddenly, I get pushed down while Alf, who appeared out of nowhere, gives the grunt a smack! The grunt's back smashes against the house, and his knife disappears in the grass. He groans, but stands up fast. The grunt and the former grunt soon got involved in a close combat brawl, like our own Pokémon, minutes ago.
I feel hands picking me up:
"Are you alright?"
I look up and see Y/n's y/c eyes staring at mine. I blush, sighing:
"I think so... thanks for saving me."
He helps me up, but I feel him shivering:
"I didn't."
I rest my forehead against his, but he pulls away after a few seconds and runs to Alf and the grunt, because they were still fighting.

Reader's POV

"Alf! Hold on!" You shout, as you see Alf fighting with the muscled grunt. You send out Raichu again to zap the grunt, but before it gets there, the grunt suddenly floats up, coughing. A Hypno is holding him in the air with Psychic!

A man, wearing a white jacked, approaches you, smiling. You recognise him immediately:
"Faba!" You shout, as you run to the man and hug him, to his surprise. He shrugs:
"It is... good... to see you again, kid. I was about to bring you a package when I heard screaming."
You nod in appreciation:
"Thanks for helping us out. But now, to the matter in hand..." You say, turning around to see the grunt still floating in the air:
"Release him, before he suffocates."
Faba gives Hypno the sign to stop, and the man falls down, searching for air. You kneel down:
"I think the fight is over, friend."
He shakes his head:
"This fight is never over. As he knows." He says, pointing his finger at Alf. He just shrugs:
"You don't have to keep fighting for that side. I'm much happier here. You'd be happier too."
The grunt loses his temper:
"This fight... it is a fight you can't win. And this... traitor here is not going to help you win. Nor am I!" He shouts, launching his fist at your face out of nowhere! The next second, you're holding his hand in yours with all the power you have. You pull him up:
"I wouldn't try that again. You're coming with me."
"I'll never surrender to the likes of you! Foreign... invaders, trying to be the hero in óúr region!" He shouts. You try to bind his hands, but he resists and spits you in the face:
"The fight is never over. And now, it begins."
You wipe the spit away, and Alf holds the grunt. You summon Garchomp:
"No. Now it ends."
The grunt looks at you and smirks:
"Pathetic. You don't-"
You nod:
"Dracarys."
A red, burning Flamethrower hits the grunt in his face, first burning his clothes, then his body. After a few seconds, all that was left of him was a pile of ashes.

Your hands are shaking, and you sink to your knees. Faba shivers:
"I... I see you are busy... I'll give the package to Lillie." He says, and walks away. Alf kneels down next to you:
"Hey, yee okay?"
You sigh:
"Alf... what I did just now... was it... right?"
He shrugs, laughing sheepishly:
"Well, of course! Burning a man alive is always the right thing to do! No, but really, man, are you cra-"
He stops and turns around:
"I'll leave you two."
You turn around to see Lillie running towards you. You look down:
"Lillie, I-"
A hug interrupts you:
"Y/n, what was that?! I was so scared!"
"I-I don't know, to be honest. A rage was building up inside of me, and I just had to let it go..."
She kisses you, grabs your right hand and puts it on your heart:
"Promise me."
You look up and lock eyes:
"Promise what?"
She smiles:
"Promise me you won't do something like that ever again."
You nod:
"I promise."
She stands up:
"Good. You did well though, Garchomp! Thanks for killing that awful grunt."
You stand up, a smile on your face:
"I'm happy everyone is okay."
Lillie laughs and gives you a quick kiss:
"Well, I have to say, at least you didn't skin his fingers before burning him!"
You give her a wink, but your phone gives a beep. While reading the message, your face turns sad once again:
Y/n,
Need your help. Rocket gathered in building. Can't drive them out on my own. Come immediately,
Red

You call him up, while giving Lillie an apologising look:
"Hello, Red?"
"..."
You facepalm:
"Nevermind. Where are you?"
You end the call, and soon the message arrives:
Lavender Town.

Grunt's POV

I just saw Tom being burned alive!
A smile begins to grow on my face.
I'll call the Boss!
I pick up my phone, while hiding in the bushes next to the training grounds:
"Hello, Boss?"
"Ciao, Harry. What is it?"
"I have some good news for you, sir. The man has potential... he just roasted Tom alive!"
I can hear Giovanni laughing in the background:
"I know, I know, I've seen it. Remember the camera I put in Tom's cap?"
I nod:
"Oh yes, sorry."
"No need to apologise. But it is good to hear that my suspicions are being confirmed. The man has potential... Bwaha. Bwahahahaaaa!"

That was lit! Hehe...hee... I hate myself.
As you can guess, my mind has been filled with Game of Thrones recently. Don't worry, this story won't turn into a book that's written by George RR Martin xD I just thought it would be cool to give Y/n a codename for Garchomp's Flamethrower, because Garchomp is a dragon, and 'Dracarys' means dragonfire. I thought I'd be an awesome reference. I hope you didn't get a heart attack by burnt people, I like dark stuff. Don't know why, 'cause I'm really not dark irl. Argh, GOT over in two weeks ;_;

A question of the week that has something to do with the story:
"Are there any Fellowship-ships you have? I mean: would you like to see anybody being together? For example Gladion and idk Daisy or something." xD
Anyway, I can't wait for the next chapter, it's gonna be daaark baby! See you then!

I couldn't resist. Please don't commit suicide xD
