Hello fanfic readers, welcome to my new story. This is going to be a short story, not a oneshot. WIth that out of the way, let's do this.

READ THE AUTHOR'S NOTE AT THE END

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or any of the characters

Whosh, whosh, whosh

The waves hummed from the ocean, splashing on top of the yellow and white coloured sand. The beach's sand shined from the sun powerful rays on this perfectly sunny day. Not a cloud in a sky could be seen.

On that beach stood a building, a lab, and in that lab, two people and a Pokemon were getting up. One was already moving around making breakfast, the other was slowly getting up from the loft of the place, but his Pokemon had other ideas to make sure he doesn't slip to unconsciousness.

"Piko, Pika!" A streak of yellow hit the teen who jumped up in literal shock.

"Ahhhhhhh!" The electricity making him jump way too high out of bed, hit the ceiling and fall back down, flat on his rear end.

"Pika pika, piko, chaa." Pikachu appeared to be laughing at him while the teen glared at him.

"Pikachu could you please give me a small shock, not a full on Thunderbolt." He'd rolled his eyes at Pikachu, knowing full well Pikachu wasn't going to do that.

"Aloha Ash, get ready." The man said from the kitchen, which was right beside the loft.

"Alright Kukui." His voice sounding very different from his. He knew it was his Kanto accent that trip people. He yawned again and stretched as Pikachu ran from the loft and around the house. Ash went down the ladder and saw Kukui making breakfast.

He saw a blur ran past Kukui and jump up on to him, giving him a slight nuzzle, shocking him lightly. Pikachu sat on his shoulder and Ash went to the bathroom to ready up for Pokemon school.

It was just another day in Alola.

"Aloha Ash, how you feeling?" Kiawe asked him. He was at the Pokemon school, ready to start his day.

"Feeling great." He pumped his fist and Kiawe laughed. Ash looked around as everyone sat in their seats. Mallow was here with her unique green hair, she was arguing with Sophocles about probably something he randon he mused.

Lana was staring at the sea from her seat, probably wanting to be at the ocean right now, but he noticed something off. Where's Lillie? Usually Lillie was one of the first ones here everyday at the Pokemon school. They had only a couple of minutes before class start. Lillie had never miss a day and the only other person who seemed to be looking for her was Mallow.

Mallow and his eyes connected to each other and their eyes each asked the question, where's Lillie? They had got their answer less than a minute later when a swat of white came into view holding a Alolan Vulpix, Snowy. Mallow went up to her and he did too.

"There you are Lillie, what took you so long?" Mallow asked, but what Mallow didn't realized was that Lillie had been crying. Ash had been in that spot all too many times where he's had to comfort someone and seen people cry. He could tell she had been crying before but she hid it very well.

Her face was normal, and even her eyes weren't red. But she looked extremely exhausted and her eyes held a broken and slightly scared look. Mallow's question made her jump and she took a bit to answer.

"I just woke up late." Her eyes not making eye contact with Mallow. Mallow's eyes narrowed and became slightly suspicious. Lillie still held no eye contact with her or Ash.

"What about your butler and the maids?" Mallow had a look of interrogation adorned on her face. Lillie took a few moments to respond and she had slightly blushed.

"They kinda forgot about me and woke me up late." Her quick and nervous response was. Ash also raised a eyebrow. She used the word, kinda. She'd usually stick with, kind of. Lillie's still held the broken, slightly scared look.

He bumped Mallow slightly and made a gesture to quit talking. She stared at him confusedly but he plead with eyes. In the end she sat back down and LIllie was taking a seat.

"Glad you made it here on time Lillie." Lillie blushed at his words and nodded towards him. He wondered about the blush but didn't think much of it, too focused on the lesson.

"Alright kids, after lunch break we'll talk about ways to acquire a Moon Stone, dismissed." Kukui headed down a path, most likely the teacher lounge. They had quite some time and Lana, Kiawe, Sophocles was already making their way down the path that led outside. Usually everyone would go to their hangout where they eat, after discovering a nice opening not to far, but he, Mallow and Lillie were still in the class.

He assumed that she thought that everyone left, but she saw mistaken. He and Mallow accidentally snuck up her.

"Lillie why were you late?" Mallow's voice rang throughout the classroom. Lillie froze up slightly before she turned towards Mallow. Pikachu, Steene and Snowy all looked at their trainers then at each other, realizing they probably should leave, so they scurried off.

"I-I told you. I woke u-up late." Lillie stated in a stuttery nervous tone. Mallow eyes narrowed again. Ash knew they were best friends, but Mallow could have the attitude of a cop, even with her best friend.

"Lillie, why were you late?" Mallow's voice was slightly threatening, though he knew Mallow would never do anything to Lillie. Lillie looked over to him and Ash knew he had to intervene somehow. He went behind Mallow and grabbed her shoulder.

"Alright Mallow, enough of this cop interrogation stuff." Mallow spinned around so quickly she seemed to have used Rapid Spin.

"Don't you tell me what to do buster! I want to know what happened to my best friend." Mallow's eyes were glaring at him, but he knew she wasn't mad at him nor Lillie, more of mad as to why Lillie wasn't telling them. He also felt as she was lying. He went past Lillie and walked up to Lillie.

"Lillie what happened?" Her eyes still held that broken look but they changed to an emotion he couldn't read. His own eyes showed concern. He was worried about why she was late and he tried to show that through his eyes. The eye contact made Lillie blushed. She looked over at Snowy, who was currently asleep.

"Fine I'll tell you." Lillie's voice was so dangerously quiet he barely heard. Unbeknownst to him, Mallow rolled her eyes at him. Lillie looked around to see if anyone was nearby. She walked to her desk and sat down, him and Mallow pulling up a chair and sitting at her desk also. Lillie took a deep breath.

"I had argued with my mother." For most people, arguing with their parents was normal and was nothing out of the ordinary. For most people, but Lillie wasn't most people. She was rich beyond numbers could say, had almost natural platinum blonde hair and her skin was always pale. She wasn't most people, especially with her fear of Pokemon.

"What do you mean argue with your mother?" Mallow carefully asked, not wanting to upset Lillie. Lillie gave her a soft smile.

"We had argued about something really bad. I almost didn't come." Lillie's voice was shaky and he knew half of the statement was true.

"You almost didn't come? Or did your mom almost didn't make you come?" He apparently hit the nail right on the coffin as Lillie's eyes flashed with pain and she slightly nodded. Lillie started shaking and before she knew it, she burst into tears ands started sobbing. Both he and Mallow rushed to Lillie and hugged or, trying to comfort her.

"S-she d-d-doe-sn't w-want me t-to go to s-s-sch-ool anymore!" Lillie barely said while sobbing. Both Ash and Mallow looked at each other with wide eyes, why would her mother want that?

"Why?" He asked Lillie, but she didn't respond. She was breathing heavy but the sobbing stopped, though her tears get falling. He turned Lillie for her to look at him,

"Why doesn't she want you to go?" He asked it in the best soothing calm voice he's ever spoke. She had calm down a bit and her breathing was slightly better. She was a about to speak when a noise came from her.

"Hic-cup!" Her voice shrieked as she hiccup, and Lillie blushed madly. Did she just..?

"Hic-cup!" She put her hand over her mouth and her eyes went wide. Yes she did, oh my gosh, yes she did. He found it devilishly amusing and slightly cute, so he started to laugh, not at her, but at the mood it made. The sad mood being replaced with a mood that it lighter and happier because of the hiccups. Lillie was still blushing while Mallow also started to giggle, even Lillie giggled despite the hiccups.

"So that's what I'm planning on spending in the classroom." All their eyes shot towards the path and realized that Kukui and someone else was coming. Lillie still looked like she had cried and he knew that Lillie wouldn't want people to know she been crying.

"You guys get out of here!" Mallow furiously whispered before she ran towards the pathway and blocked Kukui and the other person. Ash and Lillie looked at each other and then searched for possibly escape entries.

"Ah there you are Mallow. Why didn't you come over to are usual spot? Thinking about also Lillie and Ash weren't there either, do you know where they?" He and Lillie heard, what sounded like Kiawe, ask. Ash scanned the area and his eyes landed on the only possibility. He tapped Lillie and she turned this way, her green eyes staring at his brown ones.

"Let's use the exeggutors." He hastily whispered. Lillie's eyes widened and she almost glared at him. He nervously chuckled.

"I can't touch Pokemon remember." That's why he knew she wouldn't like it. He formulated a plan.

"Ride me." Her eyes shot up in shock from what he said and he looked at her weirdly. Um what did I say? Maybe I need to explain to her?

"Get on my back while we go down the exeggutors." He simply explained. Her eyes wasn't filled with shock, but with weariness.

"Lillie it might be the only way. Mallow is having a tough time keeping them out of the room." It was true, Mallow was know just going with things off the top of her head, and multiple times did Kukui and Kiawe tried to talk about getting into the classroom but Mallow switched the conversation, though it was becoming harder.

"A-alright." Her voice squeaked and she blushed yet again. He couldn't stop his mind from going to that squeak was adorable. He shook his head and they made their way over to exeggutor who looked at them weirdly.

"Hey buddy, we need your help. Would you allow me and Lillie to get down their please." The exeggutor eyed them, but realized that they were slightly pacing and jumpy and knew that he was their only way down. Exeggutor nodded so he looked at Lillie.

"I'm going to warn you, I'm slightly heavy."

He bent down and put his hands near his waist. One foot went on one hand, the other on the other hand and slowly fell into him. While carrying any person would be heavy, Lillie was light as a feather and questioned why she would think she's heavy. She was piggybacking him but he needed his hands free.

"Lillie I need you to drape your arms over me and push off slightly off my hands and wrap you legs around me." She did exactly at and know her full weight was just being supported by his back, but she still felt light and easy to carry.

"Alright, let's do this." Unbeknownst to him, Lillie was blushing with the contact of being so close. Her breathing started to speed up, but he thought it was her reaction to the Pokemon.

He put his foot over the railing and his while body so half of its was over. Exeggutor bent his head down, allowing an easy passage to his neck. He put one foot on and then flipped his body so he landed on exeggutor. Lillie held on to him like a lifeline.

"Down exeggutor." Exeggutor did just that and lowered them onto the ground as he and Lillie heard Kukui's and Kiawe's voice enter the classroom. They had reached land and he got off of exeggutor.

"Thank you." He geniusly said. Exeggutor rose back up to the classroom. Lillie was still holding on to him for dear light, her eyes still closed.

"Lillie. Lillie we're down." He was smirking and had a light amused tone to his voice. Lillie slowly opened her eyes to see they were on the ground. She felt relieved and relaxed, until she realized she was relaxing into him. He felt her jump off of him quickly.

"I-I'm s-s-sorry. I probably-was heavy a-and…" Lillie was quickly interrupted by him. He smiled at her, making her blush.

"Lillie stop your apologizing. It was fine, your weight was fine. You even felt super light!" He exclaimed and her eyebrows rose in shock. Her reaction to him calling her light made him question something about her in his head. Does Lillie have self-body issues? He put the thought to the back of his mind.

"So… now what?" He asked the blonde. She shook her head not knowing what to do.

"We only got out of there because you still looked like you were crying, but now your face seems great." He didn't know that his sentence was a unintentional compliment, which made Lillie blush and turn away.

"Well we got a couple of minutes anyways. Let's walk around and make our way back towards class." He said with a sheepish smile. He saw Lillie turn around to face him, still a light pink hue on her cheeks, start walking, he followed.

They talked about usual things. School work, ideas, Pokemon, but a question was nagging on his mind. They were getting close to the classroom, but he stopped her. She looked up at him with a questioning gaze.

"Why doesn't your mom want you to go to school anymore?" That question made her froze, and Ash felt guilty that he asked. He was about to apologize before she held her hand in front of him, stopping from talking.

"I-I guess I could explain this to you, but you won't fully understand." She briefly explained. He nodded his head, thinking of the many ideas of why her mother didn't want her in school.

He'd never met her mom, but she rarely mentioned her mom either. He knew her dad was gone from accident that he heard from Kiawe. He knew she was insanely rich and, being to her house a couple of times, but he never recalled her mom being there.

"My mom is crazy…"

Oooh cliff hanger. A new Ash x Lillie story, this time it'll only focus on Ash's Pov (Third obv).

Tell me what you think of it so far. I'll try to update this story at around 2 times a week, but I won't be focusing on just this story.

Ok important topic. For those having story suggestion for me, I do read them and I will try to figure out how to make a story for you. The Mallow One Shot was a story suggestion, I have more story suggestion stories that I have planned, some with Lillie, Mallow and even Selena (Moon).

It was take time for me to write them. I can't just focus all my attention to those stories that you have suggested. Be patience and I will come and try to write them in the future. Thank you.

That's it for now.

Reviews are greatly appreciated.

See ya!
