"Ughk..." You say, moaning. You open your right eye, and see Lillie, sitting on a chair, next to your bed. She startles:
"Y/n!"
Soon, kisses were all over the place. You smile sheepishly and sit up:
"Hey, Lil. I-"
She pushes you down again:
"Shhh. Rest."
You nod:
"How's my arm?"
She sobs:
"Your arm looks terrible... we need to call a doctor or something, but I don't know if he'll know what to do. What happened?"
You shake your head:
"No doctor. I'll explain in a bit. I need-"
She rests her forehead against yours:
"You need rest."
You flash your white teeth, say "you're too good for me" and close your eyes.

"HEEEEEY, man!!!"
Now you startle awake and open both of your eyes immediately, to see Blue's face close to yours. He keeps shouting on:
"How are you? By the way, you can smell that wound from downstairs, just saying."
That made you laugh:
"Thanks for cheering me up, Blue. What are you doing here?"
He smiles:
"You mean... what are wé doing here?" He says, revealing your other friends, the entire Fellowship. They all sit down around you, and Daisy speaks first:
"Group hug!" She shouts, pushing everyone together into a big hug. You try not to get your arm squeezed, but with everyone laughing, you join in pretty soon:
"I still don't get why you're all here, but I love it all the same." You say. Alf walks into the room as well:
"They all requested to have a meeting here, si-... Y/n."
"I noticed" You say, laughing.
Daisy beckons him to join the hug too, and so he does. When you all release each other, Blue stands up and spreads his arms:
"I, Blue Oak, founder of the famous Fellowship, declare our weekly gathering, starting from this very moment, official."
You all cheer and leave the room, after Blue pulled you out of your bed:
"Let's go, Leader! The others probably want to smell you too!"
There goes my rest.
"Others?"

Walking down the stairs, Lillie takes your arm, and you gladly accept it: The wound was taking its toll on you.
You lock eyes:
"Lillie, how many days has it been since I fainted?"
She keeps staring in your eyes without blinking:
"Two days."
You nod:
"Did anything happen in the meantime?"
She smiles and points at Cynthia:
"I'm sure Cynthia will be more than willing to give you a tour in our garden!"
You shake your head:
"I want you to come with us."
She blushes:
"Do you?... You've changed, Y/n."
You nod again:
"For the better, I hope."
She puts a hand on your cheek:
"Much better." She says, kissing you with a fiery passion, and you kiss her back.

The Fellowship is lingering downstairs, and you hold Lillie tight:
"Why I've changed, Lil, is because-"
Suddenly, Blue bumps into you:
"Boy, I'm glad to see you again, Y/n! And Lillie too, of course. It's been too long!"
You shrug:
"Blue, it's been... three or four days."
He nods:
"Exactly!"
You laugh and continue to walk on. Blue keeps up the pace:
"To make things better, I'll prepare supper for you!"
Supper?
Your take a quick look at the clock and see it's already 7 p.m.. You pat him on his shoulder:
"That is very kind of you, friend. Thank you."
You also received the news that Faba left while you were asleep.

You walk up to Cynthia, with your arm around Lillie:
"Hey, Cynthia, Lillie told me something about showing me the garden...?"
Lillie laughs, and so does Cynthia:
"I'd like to show you! Have you not seen it yet?"
"Seen what yet?"
Lillie grabs your hand and pulls you outside. Three tents were standing in the grass, and three persons were sitting around a large bonfire. Cynthia and Lillie lead you to the group. A man with a black cloak, dressed in a blue suit, immediately stands up and shakes your hand:
"You must be Y/n. I've heard many stories about you. They say you're strong. I believe them, we're colleagues after all! I'm Lance, at your service."

You smile:
"And yours. I'm glad you've come to our aid, Lance. We need strong men like you."
Lance nods:
"Speaking of strong men... Gold!" He says, while revealing a young man with a yellow/black cap.

You laugh:
"I'm standing in the company of two heroes here!"
Gold smiles at you, and then looks at Lillie:
"Likewise."
Lance stands next to Cynthia:
"When my lovely colleague asked for us, we couldn't resist her call, so here we are!"
Suddenly, Daisy joins the conversation:
"And Misty wanted to help us too!" She says, and the last person at the fire stands up:
"It is good to see you guys again! What have you been up to?"
It was indeed Misty.
You give her a warm smile:
"We'll have plenty of time to talk about that."
You take a look at everyone:
"Well, now that we have three new members, it's time to- ughk..."
Your breath gets taken away by pain in your arm, and you sit down for a second. Daisy runs over to you:
"Are you alright?! You look pale!"
Lillie sits down next to you, and you rest your head against hers:
"Do they know about the wound?" You whisper in her ear. She shakes her head surreptitiously:
"I haven't told them yet."
"Why do they think I laid in bed for two-... nevermind. It's time for them to know."
You pull up your right sleeve to reveal a bandage. Lillie stops you:
"Do you think that's a good idea?"
You nod:
"I want to see it too."
You take away the bandage, and the gaping blue wound, which was starting to become black, was still there, festering. Daisy startles:
"I'll call a doctor." She says, running back inside. You are too tired to run after her, but you whisper to Lillie:
"A doctor will be to no avail."
She nods:
"You're right. I'll search for information about curing wounds."

You are laying in your bed when a doctor comes inside:
"So, what are we dealing with?" He says confidently, but when he sees the wound, he takes a few steps back:
"What sorcery is this?! I'm sorry, sir, but I-"
"Is there a way to cure it?" You ask, irritated by the stressing doctor. He takes a closer look:
"There is one."
"And that is...?"
"If I amputate that arm."
You laugh hysterically:
"Only if I can amputate your hea-"
Lillie, who's sitting next to you, gives you a glare. You wink at her and turn back to the doctor:
"I'll find another way. Thank you for your help, doctor."
He nods:
"That'll be five hundred Pokédollars, please."
You almost give him a smack:
"I have to pay-?!"
Lillie stands up:
"I'll pay you for it, doctor. Thank you."
You grin:
"Yes, thank you."
You lay back down, thinking of a way to cure the wound, while Lillie pays the doctor.
She comes back, and lays down next to you:
"Well, that was a waste."
You smile and give her a kiss:
"We'll solve it, don't worry."
She nods:
"Yes. Yes, we will."
With her head resting on your chest, you fall asleep quickly.

You touch the statue, but nothing happens. Lillie's eyes glow with expectation. Suddenly you hear a weird sound:
Tapu Kokekooo!

You startle and sit up, your chest quickly going up and down, breathing heavily. Lillie's eyes are still closed, and the sound of her soft breathing reveals she's still sleeping. You get up and head downstairs. Preparing a Komala Coffee, you think about your dream:
It must have shown me the moment I caught Tapu Koko.
You sit down on the sofa and turn on a lamp. The wound was looking even more black than before. You take a look in the bookshelf, but not a single book about wounds to be found. Suddenly, a voice made you jump up:
"Searching something for the wound?"
Red was standing behind you in the shadows. You nod, and he flashes a smile:
"You know it's four in the morning, right?"
You sit down again, and beckon him to do the same:
"I do. I couldn't sleep."
He nods, staring at the darkness that is the living room.
Maybe it's my fault!
"Did I awake you, by any chance?"
He shakes his head.
You sat there for a while, in awkward silence.
"..."
Perhaps it's time for Y/n, the love guru!
"So, uhm... how's your love life going?"
Smooth!
He turns his head and looks you in the eyes, his eyes glittering for a second:
"What do you mean?"
You laugh quietly:
"You know what I mean! I've seen the way you look at her."
He smiles, slowly nodding:
"Well, yes... I... you could say that... I love-"
"BLIMEY! Red! Y/n! I did not expect to see you here!"
You give Red a smile, as to excuse yourself, and walk over to Blue:
"Alola, Blue."
"Good morning, world!"
You prepare coffee for Red and Blue too, while listening to their conversation:
"So, what were you and Y/n talking about?"
"..."
"C'mon, Red, don't be so shy!"
"..."
You try to hide a smile, and bring them their coffees.

When everyone was awake, you ate breakfast together. You let your training exercises away for today, since it would just hurt your arm.

"Golisopod, First Impression!"
Golisopod hit Blue's Blastoise hard, and it fainted.
Blue dashes towards you:
"Great battle, it was exciting 'till the last attack!"
"It was, you battled well!"
Lillie won her battle against Ash, which didn't surprise you. Daisy somehow won against Red, Gold won against Misty, and Gladion, Cynthia, Alf and Lance had a battle royale, which Cynthia won. Your attention immediately gets drawn back to Blue though, since he was pulling your arm:
"Oh, I made something for you, Y/n! Smell ya in a minute!" He shouts, running back inside. You go to Lillie and pull her up for a long kiss:
"Look at that, my beautiful girlfriend, wiping the floor with experienced trainers!"
She kisses you back:
"Look who's talking!" She exclaims, giving you a hug. With your head on her shoulder, you are able to see Gladion, wandering off in the distance, as a lone wolf. You give her a gentle tap on her shoulder:
"Uhm, Lillie...?"
You grab her hand and point it at where Gladion is. Her facial expression was a sad one, the moment she saw her brother's. She pulls you along, to the place where Gladion is sitting now. When he hears you approaching, he looks up:
"Hi. What are you guys doing here?"
You step forward:
"No, what are yóú doing here, Gladion. We're here because of you. What's the matter?"
"It's Dawn."
"What's up with Dawn?" Lillie asks.
"Nothing."
You smile:
"Well then, the-"
"That ís the problem! There's no news about her, not a single rumour! I tried to keep her here, but..."
Lillie throws her arm around Gladion:
"Should we take you inside?"
"No! I... I'm fine, thanks."
Lillie gives you a wink, so you pull him up and soon lay him on the sofa together. Lillie sits down next to him and pulls out a book. Watching over her brother, she begins to read.
"Y/n!" You hear from behind you.
Blue walks towards you, a drawing in his hand. You shake your head:
"Don't say you've drawn again..." You sigh.
He nods:
"Hell yes I have! Here you are, a present."

Looking at the drawing made you laugh:
"Such beautiful handwriting too! Very professionally scrapped the 'Ring' to write 'Bling' in its place! I love it!"
He smiles:
"Really? That's good!"
"And which one is supposed to be me?"
He points at the Pikachu:
"That's me... so that makes you... the fat Togedemaru!"
"It's lovely, thank you." You say, trying to suppress a laugh.
"Just ask for it and I'll make you another one!"
"I can imagine that." You whisper to yourself.
"I also have another gift: the Elite Four's support! They'll be here in a few days."
You nod:
"Thanks, Blue. I appreciate it, you deserve some rest."
You return to Lillie, who's emersed herself in the book. You plump down next to her:
"What book are you reading?"
She flushes:
"A book about Alolan Pokémon..."
"Really? That's amazing! Let's see... Toucannon... it's beak can become a hundred degrees? That's almost as hot as you are!"
Her cheeks glow red, and she locks eyes:
"You did not just make that joke!"
You shrug:
"What joke?"
She smiles:
"Exactly! But thank you anyways!" She says, giving you a kiss on the cheek. She turns a lot of pages to arrive at Solgaleo. She sighs:
"Remember the moment you caught Nebby?"
"How could I ever forget?"
She goes on with reading:
"Tapu Lele... Guardian of Akala Island. It drains energy from other beings. Its strength comes from the energy stored within its shell. The Guardian of Akala Island is known to scatter glowing scales, which affect others by stimulating and healing... their... bodies."
She jumps up and hugs you tightly:
"Y/n!!! This is what you need! Tapu Lele's scales! The cure has been under our very noses!"
You kiss her:
"I'm the dumbest fool of a Took. How lucky I am to have you!"
She kisses back:
"Good thing you know! No, I'm kidding, I'm very lucky to have you too!"
She pulls you up the stairs, to Blue's room, since only his chamber has a PC. Entering his room, you see a giant poster:

Whilst trying to stop laughing, you turn on the PC.
"Tapu Lele, Tapu Lele... here it is!"
Once the transmission is done, you grab the Pokéball:
"Tapu Lele, come out!"
The happy sounds of Tapu Lele fill the room, as the pink Guardian floats in the air. You show it your arm:
"Can you heal this?"
It floats to your arm and hovers over it, scattering its scales. The wound stays the same. Lillie nods:
"I expected something like this to happen. It hasn't got enough energy."
You flash her a smile:
"I have an idea."

Soon, the Fellowship and Alf, Gold, Misty and Lance were gathered in a circle in the garden. Tapu Lele was flying in the middle. You look at everyone one more time:
"So everyone is willing to give a bit of energy to Tapu Lele?"
Everyone nods, so you give Lele the sign:
"Do it. Remember, only a bit!"
It starts with giving Lance a kiss on the cheek. He shivers, but Lele was already giving Misty a kiss. When it has given everyone but you a kiss, it floats up and scatters its scales on your arm. Slowly, the wound went green, then it turned back to normal flesh again. Everyone cheers, and you are relieved:
"I will not let others suffer for me alone. Come."
The Guardian flies over to you, happily, and gives you a kiss as well. You can feel the energy getting sucked out of your body, but it wasn't as bad as it sounded.
"I'll get us some drinks! Let's celebrate!" Blue shouts, turning on his box. While everyone is celebrating, you suddenly feel a tap on your shoulder. You stand face to face with Ash:
"Y/n, I have something to tell you, and now that you're better, I thought you'd cope with it better. I've taken a decision-"
I've also taken a decision...
The memory of Lavender Town races through your mind, but Ash doesn't notice:
"I'm leaving you guys. My life feels like non-existent without Serena. I'm going to Kalos."

Shablam!!! Chapter 25 is done, it's over! There are two other things over:
-Game of Thrones season 7, RIP my life.
-Summer holidays (From Friday)
So yes... unfortunately, uploads will go slower. Probably one per one or two weeks. I'll try to keep it one per week though, but you never know.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, the Fellowship needed some attention, in my opinion.

Question of the week (although no one has answered the last one, RIP... it doesn't matter though xD):
"What's your favourite island in Alola?"
Mine is Melemele, where we met Lillie (and where she left too ; _ ; )
I'm going to have heart attack when we are able to return to Melemele in US/UM!

Anyway, thank you for reading this story, and thank you for the 8k reads! You are an awesome person!
Have a nice day, have a nice week, and sorry for the long wait for the next chapter, it is how it is.

Ps: Collaboration is coming soon!
