My Shining Sun - Lillie x male reader (Pokémon)

Chapter 29: One Last Push

You wake up, your head lying on the hard tent: the pillow is gone! You look around but see nothing. You get up and try to feel something with aura. You don't feel anything, but that doesn't mean there is nothing. You take a fresh breath outside:
"Good morning, world..." You say, as Lillie comes out of the tent, moaning. You immediately apologise:
"Bonjour, princess. Did I awake you?"
She shrugs:
"I don't think so, I just... awoke. A good morning to you too, Y/n!" She says, getting pumped:
"Ready for our last Gym battle?"
You nod, smiling:
"Of course I am, it's going to be a hard one!"
"Who is the Gym Leader?"
You think, but you can't remember:
"I don't know, actually..."
Lillie shrugs:
"I've also never read something about the eighth Gym."
You keep thinking about a name of the Gym Leader, but you really don't have a single clue.
You turn around, looking at the environment:
"My pillow was gone..."
Lillie bursts into laughter:
"I'm sorry... your pillow." She whispers, chuckling. You laugh too and shrug:
"It doesn't matter, let's go to Veridian City." You say, quickly packing up the tent and the rest of your stuff.

But as you are nearly done packing, you get a message from Cynthia:
"Hi, Y/n! I'm messaging you to say I've brought you a new recruit for the Fellowship. You should come over and have a look if he's any good! See you soon!"
You show Lillie the message, and she smiles:
"A new recruit? I wonder who that is!"
You nod:
"Me too! We'll quickly return to Celadon, and then we'll go to the Gym, okay?"
She gives you a kiss:
"Sounds good to me!"
You walk outside, and soon she takes your hand and lets you help her to get on Charizard. You take a deep breath:
"Fly, to Celadon City we go!"

You land your Charizard, to see a poshly dressed man with light blue hair walking towards you and Lillie. He extends his hand:
"You must be Lillie and Y/n! I'm Steven Stone, nice to meet you both!"

You gladly shake his hand, and so does Lillie. You heard the name somewhere:
"So, Mr. Stone, you're here to join us? What are your battling skills like?"
He smiles:
"Say Steven, please. And I think my battling skills are good enough!" He says, giving you a wink. Lillie got the hint and she immediately cheers up:
"I think Steven is actually the Hoenn Champion, Y/n!"
He makes a bow:
"I am, and I have heard a lot of things about you, colleague! When Cynthia asked me to join you, I didn't hesitate for one second!"
You smile heartily now:
"And I gladly accept the help! But now we need to take on the eighth Gym..." You say, about to turn around, but Steven stops you:
"Are you going to leave your colleague, who has travelled a long way to get here, without having a battle?"
You turn around and walk on:
"Sorry, no time."
Steven smiles behind your back:
"How can I know you're a strong leader when you're too afraid to battle me?"
You stop and turn around:
"Fine, you got me, I surrender. A quick one."
Steven grabs a Poké Ball:
"Oh, believe me, it wíll be over quickly!"
You grin:
"I'd like to see you try!"

Lillie's POV

Typically boys, always desiring for a battle, I think to myself, smiling. I guess it is to be expected when your boyfriend is a Champion. I watch the battle closely, to see Y/n's Lucario take out Steven's Metagross. Steven was really strong, and he fought with a strange passion. Suddenly, I feel something soft hitting my head. I look at the ground and see Y/n's pillow. I turn around to see a strange pink creature flying away. Without thinking, I run after it, into the woods.
