My Shining Sun - Lillie x male reader (Pokémon)

Chapter 26: Back on Track

"Are you sure about this, Ash?" You ask, standing at the Vermillion marina with him and Lillie.
"Yes, Y/n, I've taken my decision."
You walk back to the desk, thinking about the future, while holding hands with Lillie:
"It feels weird to say, but I'm really going to miss you, Ash."
He grabs your arm tightly:
"Me too, Y/n. And Lillie too."
Lillie gives him a quick hug:
"Be safe!"
The sound of 'Despacito', the infamous song by Roxie, destroyed your ears, and your face goes dark:
"Please make this stop..." You whisper, annoyed. Ash begins to tap his foot to the rhythm:
"Oh, man, I love this song so much! Deeespaaacito..."
You grin:
"Okay, forget everything I said about missing you. I hope your ship doesn't sink."
He chuckles:
"Thank you!"
The lady at the desk looks at the time:
"Sir, the ship's going to leave soon."
You look at him one more time:
"Good luck out there in Kalos, Ash. Find Serena, and remember, in Kalosian, 'I love you' becomes 'je t'aime'."
He nods:
"Je t'aime, right. Got it. Thanks for everything, guys. We'll meet again, one day."
"Of course we will! Goodbye, Ash."
"Goodbye!" Lillie shouts, while Ash turns around and leaves for the ship. You hold Lillie in your arms:
"This is good news."
"Why?"
"Because now we can finally continue our Gym adventure!"
She kisses you:
"Yes! I'm already excited!"
You fly back to the house on Charizard, Lillie clamping onto you. Lance and Cynthia were having a conversation with the Fellowship about the enemy, sitting around the table, and when you arrive, they stop their discussion:
"Is Ash gone?"
Lillie nods:
"He is. But that doesn't matter. What were you talking about?"
Lance throws his hands in the air of frustration:
"Blue wants to search for Team Rocket with his Elite Four, which is a stúpid idea!" He says, turning back to Blue. Lillie touches his arm, and whispers:
"Calm down, Lance."
She walks over to Blue:
"And what's Lance's idea?"
Blue shakes his head:
"He wants us to wait until our company is big enough, and then attack."
A commotion between team Blue's plan and team Lance's plan began.
"I second Blue's idea!" Daisy shouts immediately.
Cynthia stands up:
"I support Lance in this."
You look over to Lillie, who's clenching her fists. She looks confident, and an icy fire is burning in her eyes:
"I think both of your ideas are stupid!"
Everyone stops talking and looks at her, expectantly. She takes a breath and continues:
"Blue's idea is too risky, because five people will get beaten once they find Team Rocket in its full force. Lance's idea is overconfident, for we don't know where they are. We don't have a single clue. Besides, moving in one giant pack makes us vulnerable to ambushes."
You walk over to her side and throw your arm around her:
"She's right. I say we stick to the plan."
Alf raises his hand:
"I don't know 'bout you guys, but I'm with them."
Misty stands up too:
"Me too."
In a few minutes, everyone was confident about the plan, except for Lance and Blue. Lance looks at you:
"I don't know about your plan, Y/n. It seems kind of dumb, no offense. But when I saw Lillie's confidence in your plan, and her passion, I believe there's no better leader for a man to follow than you. Or her."
You smile:
"Thank you, Lance."
Blue nods:
"I've known Y/n for some time now, I know what he's like. He can burn people, but he can also be very kind. I'm following him, whatever he does."
Lance shakes hands with Blue:
"So am I. Count me in."
Blue chuckles:
"Does he have your bow?"
Lance flashes his white teeth:
"He has."
Alf cheers:
"Glad that's over. Time for a little celebration?"
Surprisingly enough, Gladion nods:
"I'm down."
Blue grins:
"Hopefully not literally!"
Gladion's eyes widen for a second, but he restrains himself:
"Of course not."
Alf heads to the fridge and pulls out some cocktails:
"Let's get started with this!"
You shrug:
"Just a Komala coffee for me please, and a Moomoo milk for Lillie!"
Lillie was about to order what you just said, and she blushes:
"Well, that's easy, having a boyfriend who orders the drinks I want for me." She says, giving you a kiss.
Alf gives the others and himself a cocktail and gives you and Lillie your drinks:
"Lillie, I've added some alcohol to the milk for the flavour." He says, just as Lillie is taking a sip of her milk. She gulps and restrains herself from spitting it out. Alf laughs:
"Just kiddin' though."
Lillie starts coughing, and you pat her on the back:
"Well, Alf, look what you've done now." You say, smiling.
"In Team Rocket, they would've hit me for that." He says, thinking back to something that was undoubtedly a dark memory.
You chuckle:
"Luckily you're not there anymore."
Alf nods and goes away, and you give Lillie a quick kiss:
"Everything okay, Lil?"
She nods, smiling cutely:
"Y-yes, thank you. I was just scared for a second there."
You hold her and let time pass, breathing in the sweet aroma of her hair. Suddenly, Lillie jumps up:
"Arceus, Y/n! I forgot! Don't move!"
You laugh:
"What are you up to?"
She chuckles:
"Nothing..." She says, turns around and disappears, out of sight.
