My Shining Sun - Lillie x male reader (Pokémon)

Chapter 16: Challenging Cerulean City

The alarm clock sounded and you woke up. You heard Lillie did the same by her tired moaning. You turned the irritating sound off and got up:
"Goodmorning! It's a new day, a new dawn! Hopefully not a new Dawn, though." You say, lame joking, still tired. Lillie was not in the mood:
"Do we really have to go this early, Y/n?"
You nod:
"Yeah, we should just leave. We can't stay at one place for a long period. We'll have breakfast and then get going."
Lillie gets up as well:
"Okay... I'll have a shower first, if that's OK?"
"Of course that's alright!" You laugh.
"Thank you!" She says and goes to the bathroom. You grabbed the book about Team Rocket, which you decided to take with you to read in situations like this: sitting alone in a hotel room. A knock on the door interrupted the reading. You put away the book and open the door:
"Hey, Y/n! Waw, your room smells!"
It didn't smell, but Blue has a... refined smell or nose, as it was him.
You laugh:
"No, it doesn't! Anyway, what is it?"
"We're going to have breakfast, are you coming?" He says grinning.
You shrug:
"Lillie is still in the bathroom. I'll wait for her and then we'll join you."
He nods:
"What a gentleman! Alright, smell you there!" He says, and walks away.
You pick up the book again and read further. It was about Giovanni, and it was interesting.
You whisper:
"Will I ever meet him again...?"
A door opens behind you:
"Did you say something?"
Lillie was finished showering, apparently.
You shake your head:
"No, it's nothing."
She was dressed simple, but beautiful, in her casual Z-form, with her ponytail.
She smiles:
"Let's get going then! I'm hungry!"
"Me too!" You say laughing, and you both leave.

"Cerulean, here we come!" You say when everyone was outside and ready. It was still pretty early. Blue smiles:
"Yeah, let's move, fellowship!" He says, barely holding his laugh. Everyone was laughing, everyone was happy, and the day was already great!
You walked between Lillie and Gladion, discussing their favourite Pokémon and battle tactics. You were happy and followed the discussion, but you were also looking the left and the right of the road: you have to find an amazing Pokémon for your love!
Gladion saw your suspicious acting:
"Y/n? Is there something wrong?"
You shake your head and smile:
"No. Just looking for Pokémon!"
He looks around:
"Yeah, I haven't seen a cool one either."
Ash seemed pretty nervous but happy too. You ask him:
"Is there something?"
He smiles:
"You'll see!"

You saw a sign: Cerulean City
"Here we are! Ready for the battle, Lillie?"
She nods, nervous:
"Yeah."
You smile:
"Hey, I've got type advantage and you haven't, but what's the matter? You're Lillie! You can do this easily!"
She starts to smile too:
"Thank you for cheering me up, Y/n! I'm going to go first!" She says and runs towards the Gym.
You laugh:
"Good luck!"
The others were going to have something to drink, so you went watching the battle on your own. Her battle was intense, but she won eventually with Ponyta, Sandshrew and Rattata left, with her Rattata dealing the final blow to the Starmie. She got her badge, exchanged a few words with Misty and left the Gym. She jumped into your arms:
"Your turn!" She whispered in your ear, still a bit nervous from the event.
"Aye!" You whisper, but full of confidence, without pride though. Pride is a bad thing.
Misty smiled:
"Welcome, trainer. I am Misty, the Cerulean Gym leader. Let's have a nice battle, shall we?"
You started with Midos, she sent out Staryu.
"We will! Prepare yourself, Misty!"
I just want to battle with it!
"Alright, Midos, use Force Palm!"

You did return Riolu when it became tired, and already sent out Bulbasaur. The battle was nearly over, all that was left was the final blow:
"Vine whip again, Bulbasaur! Finish off the Starmie!"
Bulbasaur finished the job. Misty returned Starmie and sighed. She's clearly frustrated:
"It's unfair!"
You try to cheer her up:
"You battled well!"
She smiles:
"You too... You battle like a Champion!"
You smile:
Well...
"I'd wish. Riolu did great, and so did Bulbasaur."
She sighs and walks towards you:
"Here's your badge, it's called the Cascade badge."
You put it in a little badge-box:
"Thank you!"
"Good luck on your travels, trainer!"
"It's Y/n."
"Good luck on your travels, Y/n... Wait... isn't that the name of the Alolan Champion?"
You laugh:
"It is, but I'm not like him! Goodbye!"
You leave the building.
He's obviously not me!
Lillie runs towards you:
"Y/n, you did amazing! You didn't even lose one Pokémon!"
She gives you a hug.
"Yeah, type advantage. The next ones are going to be more difficult!"
Ash suddenly appears:
"And, guys, how did the battle go? Did you win?"
You smile:
"Hell yeah we did! Lillie smashed it!"
Lillie blushes:
"He did too, Ash!"
"Well done!"
The voice of a woman appears behind you, and you turn around: it was Misty:
"Y/n, Lillie? I wanted to apologise for my beha-... Ash?!"
Ash smiled calmly:
"Misty."
"Ash, what are you doing here, I-"
Ash opens his arms, and Misty jumps into them. They were embraced for quite a few seconds.
You laugh:
"Old friends?"
Ash smiles:
"You could say that, yes! But Misty, there is another thing."
"What, Ash?"
A male voice came from somewhere, and a man ran towards you.
Is that... Brock?!
Misty recognises him as well:
"Brock?! Oh my gosh! Guys, I love you, you're amazing!"
She was even in tears, and she hugged Brock as well.
Brock then saw you and Lillie:
"Ah, my amazing trainers are here too!"
You shook hands, and he gave Lillie a kiss on the cheek.
His eyes are pretty weird, like a Snorlax! But he looks like a good bro!
"What are you two doing here?"
Ash explained the journey concept, and Brock was amazed:
"Travelling with 8 persons? Wow, that's awesome! I like travelling with 3 better though!" He says laughing.
You got the hint:
"You travelled together?"
He nods:
"Yup! In Kanto with Misty! I've been to Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh as well!"
"Really?! That's awesome! I want to go to all those places too, someday!"
Ash gives Brock a wink:
"Uhm, Brock...?"
Brock remembered something:
"Oh yeah! Totally forgot, sorry! Y/n, come with me for a second, will you?"
He and you go away for a bit, and then Brock turns around:
"Y/n, I have to apologise: I didn't give you a reward or a gift for defeating me, except the badge, that is. And when Ash told me about your journey, I wanted to give you something amazing. You know I went to Hoenn... I caught a Beldum there, and since I'm a breeder, I managed to breed a Shiny one! That one's mine, but I somehow managed to get another one! Here!"
He gives you a Pokéball.
You take it:
"A... shiny... Beldum? For me?"
He laughs:
"A shiny Beldum, for you! I already have one, so... you can have it!"
"Amazing, thank you!"
He smiles:
"No problem! Just one thing: this one's a bit timid, I like to call him the shy-ny Beldum!" He says joking.
You laugh:
"I'll form a bond with it, no problem."
He lays a hand on your shoulder:
"I believe you! Take care of it, and good luck on your journeys, Y/n!"
"Thank you, Brock, and take care!"
Brock returned to Ash and Misty, and they had a lot of conversations and fun.
