the tropical islands of Alola. A common vacation site, as well as home to the legends of the Ultra Beasts, as well as new species of Pokémon. As with all regions, there lived a professor who studied these Pokémon. This regions' native professional was named Kukui, who specialized in Pokémon's movies. However, the way he gathered information wasn't through viewing battles, but rather by having the Pokémon test them on him. This resulted in various injuries, ranging from simple cuts to near-fatal poisonings. This led to him constantly having to go to the nearest center to buy medicine, as well as food for the resident Pokémon.
For a while, though, he's had to buy more human food, due to an increasing number of people living with him. First, it was Lana whom he found washed up, then a boy named Ash, who moved in shortly after. Things started out fine, with everyone acting like family, but as the years went by, they spent more and more time with each other. This didn't bother Kukui, though. Lana could use a friend, anyways.
This "friendliness" went on for many years, even after they had both graduated from the Trainer's School. They had stayed up long into the night multiple times a week, but they always said they were studying. That could no longer be the case, and Kukui noticed that once he reminded them that they no longer had to stay up late to study, they still did anyway. Kukui had always suspected something, but after remembering how much he got around in his teen years, he decided not to investigate.
Today had been an especially painful day for Kukui, having decided that he wanted to study the move called 'Beat Up'. Beat Up, a Dark type move, usually consisted of all the party Pokémon taking part in the attack. Outside of battle, however… that was what the professor wanted to see. After asking one of his Pokémon (a Scrafty) to use it on him, the Pokémon didn't hesitate to call upon all the Pokémon living with Kukui. All 27 of them. As soon as Scrafty gave the word, the poor professor was assaulted with a barrage of kicks, scratches, and punches, all at once. Now, Kukui had handled attacks before, but those were only one-on-one. This was, to put it simply, pain. Throbbing pain that was spread throughout his entire body. He called for a break after only eight seconds, but by the time all the 'Mons got off him, the damage was done. He was covered in blooming bruises and red scratches.
"Professor? What happened?" Ash inquired, watching the injured man limp towards the door.
"Oh! Ash! Me? I-I got in over my head, that's all! No need to worry!" the professor said, attempting to reassure the boy.
"Professor, you're not fine! I can see you bleeding", lanasaid, attracted from her bedroom/loft by the noise.
lana Like I said, there's no reason to worry. I was just about to go down to the Pokémon center, yeah! Patch myself up and pick up some things."
"Do…you need help getting there?" Ash asked, noticing swelling in one of the professor's legs.
"Nope! I'm alright. I will be gone for quite a while, though. I did also order a package that should be here by now. In the meantime, do whatever you want, so long as it's not down in the lab. The last time you went there, I had to recalibrate all the sensors."
With that, the professor hobbled outside, leaving the two teenagers alone with each other. A minute passed, the two waiting to see if he came back. When it looked all clear, Lana walked up to Ash and pulled him into a kiss. Ash, of course, reciprocated, pulling lana off the ground. Her feet immediately locked around him, pulling his body closer to hers while they crushed their lips against each other. A few minutes later, they were on the floor, rolling around and moaning.
Suddenly, Lana detached herself and walked to the ladder. Ash followed, waiting for her to start climbing so he could get a good look at her. As she neared the top, Ash looked up and saw a sight that made him hard instantly: her dripping pussy, shaved hairless and maintained with the most care to make sure it stayed tight for him. As Ash followed, he looked out onto the loft. While it was a small space, it was more than enough for them. lanawas reclining on the bed, waiting patiently for her trainer. Ash quickly got to the bed, where lana clawed at his belt. After undoing the buckle and yanking down his jeans, lana got an eyeful of what she always loved seeing. Ash's pulsing, long cock, thick and waiting for someone to praise it.
Lana, knowing what he wanted, placed the head at mouth and wrapped her plump lips around it, sucking at it with an air of experience about her. Ash, overcome with pleasure, put his hand on the side of her head, encouraging her to keep going. Getting the green light, Lana proceeded to look up at her master and completely take his prick all the way to the base, without breaking eye contact. Her throat bulged with the cock in it, and she started fucking him with her esophagus, slurping and gagging while Ash grabbed the back of her head and started forcing her head down onto him.
"I-ohh, never asked: where did you learn how to do that?" Ash asked, curious as to where she gained this skill.
"My mother may have been a bit of a bitch, but she did teach me a few things", Lana said, popping her mouth off Ash's cock.
After a bit more of foreplay, Ash decided it was time for the main course. He yanked lana off his dick by her hair, earning a moan from her. She instinctively fell back onto the bed and exposed her tight slit to him. Ash stepped up to her, grabbing her hips for stability, and slammed his entire cock into her, without any form of protection. This was all on Lana's request, as the prospect of possibly getting impregnated by this stud excited her to no end.
Ash started fucking her hard and fast, just how they both like it. A variety of sounds could be heard from the loft, like Lana's moaning, Ash's grunting, and the wet sounds of their primal sexes being slapped against each other. Ash, having worked his way across six other regions (and counting), had the stamina of a Mudsdale and the speed of a Ninjask.
But alas, even Musdale tires, and even a Ninjask slows down. As Lana noticed him nearing his end, her pussy clamped down in a vice-like grip, nearly strangling Ash's dick. That did him in, and he unloaded both of his testicles inside her. As Lana's belly slightly distended, Ash pulled out, letting a waterfall of cum rush from her cunt. Lana looked down, saw the cum rushing out, and her mind conjured up the image of his seed inside her womb. That did her in, and she splattered the bed with her femcum. Ash then collapsed onto her, and they both drifted off to unconsciousness.
Professor Kukui, having been healed, came upon quite a scene. Ash and Lana were sound asleep on her bed, stark naked. Kukui had to avert his eyes while he put a blanket over them, but he did catch quite an eyeful of lana'sleaking pussy. Eyes opened and sporting a hard-on, Kukui went downstairs to sleep.
It was somewhere in the middle of the lazy afternoon. The Alola sun was shining, and the students at Melemele Island's Pokemon School were filing out of the building after a productive day of learning about the various Pokemon that inhabited their region. At the end of a school day, it was the time to meet up with good friends and hang out together.
However, two students remained in their classroom. Lana was busy reading a thick book on Pokemon and jotting down some quick notes, while Ash was standing near the fence that bordered the classroom and taking in the beautiful sight that the open wall of his classroom provided. Although it could sometimes get a little hot in the room, the view was worth it. Pikachu, who sat perched on his shoulder, was also enjoying the view.
The sound of a book closing replaced the previous sound of the far off ocean waves lapping against the beaches near the school. Lana stood up and picked the book up, only to round to the bookshelves and return the time to its original place. She turned, slipped her hat on, and then caught sight of Ash.
"Hey, Lillie! Done with your studying?" Ash asked from afar.
Lana approached Ash and gave a small nod. "Mhmm. I really like studying Pokemon. It gives me a chance to learn about them... without touching them." She flicked her head up and crossed her arms. "I'm not scared, though. I love Pokemon. Touching them isn't necessary for me. Besides, I'd rather read about these little creatures."
Ash looked at Pikachu, who had hopped off his shoulder and onto a desk near them. "I'm glad so many people in this world love Pokemon, like you! But why don't you like touching them? It's a good way to get to know your partner better!" He turned to Pikachu. "Isn't that right, buddy?"
Pikachu gave a cry of affirmation.
"Oh?" Lana watched Pikachu approach her. In response, Lana shrieked and hid behind her fellow classmate and used him as a human shield. "Ash, Pikachu almost attacked me! Tell me, is it gone?"
The boy turned to face lana "Pikachu would never hurt anyone. Now, I want to see something real quick. Come here for a second."
Lana finally let go of Ash's arm and moved her hands behind her back, clasped firmly within each other. "Um, sure." She carefully shifted closer to Ash while nervously eyeing the Pokemon on the desk. "What do you want, Ash?"
"I want to see you face this fear. I know how hard it can be to be seized by terror, and I don't want to see you in a situation like that." He motioned to Pikachu. "I just want you to give Pikachu a pat on the head, that's all. Don't worry, Pikachu won't hurt you!"
Lana looked at Ash again, then Pikachu. She inhaled and exhaled a breath. "O-okay..." She extended a shaking hand which gradually inched closer to Pikachu. She bit her lower lip and turned her head away.
"C'mon, Lillie! You can do it!" Ash cheered from next to her.
The girl cracked an eye open, then drew her hand away. "No! I can't do this!" She clasped her hands near her heart. "I'm just too scared, Ash! I can't touch Pokemon!"
Ash's face dropped for a second, but then an idea struck him. "Hey, lana I believe you can do it." He motioned to his trusted partner. "I want you to hold out your hand again. Don't worry, you don't have to touch Pikachu yet."
la observed Ash's face for a bit. Only from the sparkle in his brown eyes, he was really cheering her on. Like last time, she put her arm out, but she felt herself doing so with more confidence. "O-okay... now what?"
"I'm gonna help you." Ash placed his slightly tanned hand on Lana's pale one. He then looked into lana's bright green eyes. "On the count of three, you're gonna get over your fears! Ready?"
For whatever reason, Lana found herself unable to fight away her smile. "Okay, Ash!" She closed her eyes and breathed out. "Okay... I can do this. If my friends believe in me... I guess I can really do anything."
Ash gave his familiar smile. "That's the spirit! One... two..."
"Three!" the two chimed together. Slowly but surely, Lana's hand assisted by Ash's lowered downward and closer to Pikachu's furry yellow head. Soon, the feeling of air below her hand was replaced with something softer. She looked down at her hand, covered by Ash's. She was actually touching a Pokemon, and nothing bad was happening.
"See? What did I tell ya? That wasn't that bad, lana
Lana looked at Ash and gave a true smile. "I... I did it... and it's all because of you..." She giggled quietly. "Thank you, Ash! You really are nice!"
Ash rubbed the back of his neck. "No problem. Now, how about we head home? It's getting awfully late."
"Yeah." Lana adjusted her hat and stopped just before she was about to zoom through the doorway. "Um... see you tomorrow!" She finally left, feeling a new sense of confidence within her.
Ash really was a good friend to have around.
It was another day at the Melemele Pokemon School. While everyone else was outside and enjoying the company of their classmates, two students decided to stay indoors and enjoy the company of only each other. The teacher and principal, Kukui and Samson Oak respectively, were also outside with the class.
The two that remained in the room were Ash and Lana. They were near the outlook in the room that gave a magnificent view of Alola, sitting against each other and holding their hats in their hands. Ash held his red baseball-esc cap while Lille clutched her big white hat with the pale blue ribbon tied around it.
However, the owners of the hats didn't hold their own for long. Both classmates turned around while still leaning against the other's back and traded hats with the other. Now, it was lana with Ash's smaller hat in comparison to her own big hat, which was now safely in Ash's hands.
They looked at each other and nodded in sync. When that semi cue was given, they lifted the hat they were currently holding and plopped it onto their heads.
Now with Ash's hat on, Lana stood up and pointed outwards like she was in a battle. "Look, I'm a Pokemon Trainer now!" She flipped the cap backwards and gave a huge grin. "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" She covered her mouth with her pale hands as she broke into a huge fit of giggles.
Ash stood up while laughing at Lana's impersonation of him and looked at Pikachu. "How do I look, buddy? Do I look as smart as lananow?"
Pikachu gave a nod with a smile as well.
lanawaked up to Ash and flipped the cap back to the original position. "You look great, Ash." She blushed a bit which was quite noticeable with her pale skin. "The style really suits you." She looked at Ash's attire again and laughed.
"Really? You're just being nice." He nudged the girl with a gentle elbow. "I personally don't think the hat fits me, but I'll tell ya, my hat makes you look like a different person!"
"Aww, thank you!" she responded. She looked to the other students outside, then to Ash. "So, should we go outside? I don't want anyone to think we've disappeared or something." She took the cap off and held it near her heart.
Ash took lana'shat off and handed it back to her. "Sure! Let's see who can get there the fastest, lana Three, two, one, go!" Without even giving Lana a chance to think, he grabbed her hand and started running.
Because both had no time to put their hats on, the caps were left behind in the schoolroom. While Ash's hat dropped to the hardwood floor, Lana's fluttered towards the ground. Eventually, lana'shat settled next to Ash's cap as the joyful laughter of two classmates was heard from the hallways.
On a lazy weekend, Ash was sitting on the steps of Professor Kukui's home/lab. He was looking out and waiting for something- rather someone- to arrive. While he waited, he decided to keep himself occupied by staring at the waves and listening to the relaxing sound they made when they crept up to the sand and receded.
Soon enough, he heard what seemed to be his name being called out. Ash turned his head forward to focus on a gentle hill, and there was his study partner, fellow classmate Lana. Her blue hair was whipping around and dancing with the wind, and she had a smile on her face despite her hat could blow away at any minute.
lana Over here!" he called.
Lana noted Ash's voice and it seemed her face brightened. "Ash!" She kept her hand on her head as she ran down the hill and towards the lab, where Ash was and would be staying during his Alolan adventures. She slowed to a stop in the soft sand and sat down next to her classmate when she neared where he was. She set down the books and paper she had brought over and looked to Ash again. "So, you said you needed my help with something?"
"Yeah." Ash took Lana's pencil and tapped it against his forehead. "You know how we're supposed to be doing a research project on Pokemon?"
"Mhmm. I already got most of mine done."
The boy rubbed the back of his neck. "Well, that's what I needed you here for. You're easily smart and knowledgeable, and I wanted a few tips on how to make this project really good."
Lana took a book off of the stack of resources she had prepared and flipped through the pages. "Writing projects is easy. All you really have to do is write about the facts you find while really making it your own. Like you're projecting your voice through paper." She blushed a bit. "At least... that's how I write my papers. But maybe my method can perhaps help you."
"Really?" Ash asked. "That's it? I would expect a little more from a word as intimidating as a research project."
Lana smiled and shook her head. "Not as hard as you'd think, actually. But if you're still struggling with getting the ropes, I'd be happy to help in any way I can."
Ash gave one of his familiar smiles and gave a confirmatory nod. "That would help me out tons, so thanks!" He stood up and adjusted his red hat a bit. "But before we start... I still don't have a Pokemon to research, and I'd like to learn about a new Pokemon in the Alola region. So..." He held his hand out and blushed just a tiny bit. "You know so many Pokemon in Alola, so could you help me find a Pokemon to take notes on, Lillie? I would really appreciate it."
The girl giggled quietly and took Ash's hand. "Sure thing. I know a lot of cool Pokemon that live around Kukui's lab, so let's go!"
They ran off in the direction of some interesting and new Pokemon which they would hopefully find to help Ash with a small project. All the while, they continued to run side-by-side and listen to both the other's laughter and the ocean near them.
Sometimes, schoolwork could be fun with the right friends.
Ash was standing on the road that lay between Kukui's and the Melemele Pokemon School. School had just gotten out for the weekend, and Ash was looking forward to using that time to learn about Alola and its Pokemon.
While he was standing, he suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around him from behind. He saw a few locks of blue hair whip in front of his chest.
"lana what are you-"
"Shh. I just really need a hug right now."
Seeing no reason to argue, Ash simply shrugged and gently put a hand around her pale ones that lay against his chest. It seemed Lana really wanted a hug, so it only felt right to return it as best he could. Besides, he really liked the feeling of lana hugging him.
The Alola sun seemed to be doing the only thing it could, which was shine brightly. Not even a cloud dotted the sky. In Hau'oli City, one of Alola's biggest cities, two classmates happily ran through the city. They only stopped sprinting in the heat when they approached their destination, the Hau'oli City shopping outlet.
Ash and Lana hand in hand, rushed into the air conditioned mall and once again stopped to observe the sheer size of the mall. There were so many things to buy, like clothes or toys, and there was a small bakery nearby that was selling customers gooey chocolate chip cookies, freshly made.
After looking around for a bit, Lana pointed something out. Ash directed his attention to what his classmate was pointing to. When he laid his brown eyes on the object in question, he smiled and nodded towards lana
While still holding hands, the two rushed over to where Lana had suggested where they should go first. And that place...
A photo booth.
They both clambered into the confined space. They sat down on the bench inside and looked at the screen. Ash pulled his wallet out and paid the small fee the machine required. After the machine started up, they both looked at the camera and grinned. A flash came from the camera, which prompted them to switch poses.
Three camera flashes later, the fun part came around. It was now time to decorate the strip of photos both of them would be getting, so they quickly discussed and tried to reach an agreement with each other. They came to a quick conclusion that they would use the background that used the small hearts that ran along the border.
Ash and Lana climbed out of the photo booth and awaited their pictures. It wasn't a long wait as moments later, their printed pictures came out and ready. They each took one strip of photos each and grinned at each other like they were still in the booth. lanagrabbed Ash's hand and ran off somewhere, probably some other store.
Meanwhile, Ash looked at the pictures they had taken. The first was them smiling. The second was them with an arm around the other. The third was them with a hand behind the other's head while they gave Buneary ears to the other. However, the last was Ash's, and probably lana'sas well, favorite.
The picture of them making a half heart each with a hand and holding it up. They were smiling at the camera while completing the other's heart
Night had fallen on Alola. The summer-like sun was gone and the new moon replaced it... well, if you could see it. It seemed every star was visible because of the moon's light being absent. It was truly a picture perfect scene.
The scenery was perfect on Melemele Island, where the Pokemon School was. Two of the school's students had found their ways into the school as no supervisors or teachers were present. They had navigated the almost pitch black hallways and rooms until they had found their destination: a secret ladder that one student had discovered prior. The ladder granted access to the roof, which was where the two were now.
The two students were laying down on the thatched roof of the school. The boy was comfortable with his arms behind his head, while the girl next to him had her hands folded on her chest along with her big hat.
"...isn't the sky nice tonight, Lillie?" the boy asked quietly.
The girl looked over and smiled. "It is, Ash." She set a hand between herself and her company. "It feels really nice to spend this time under this sky with a good friend."
The silence resumed for a few more moments. The classmates simply lay down in serene bliss while they looked at the stars. The stars in Alola were different from the stars in Kanto, Ash had observed. Like they were brighter. He could even point out a ridge of stars, the arm of the galaxy their planet was in, some had said.
He looked over at lana and quietly inched his hand away from his head. He took a glance at Lana who was still focused on the stars above. While she was still looking upwards, the boy set a hand on Lillie's.
Ash looked back up at the nighttime sky to distract his mind from the slight heat that had crept up to his face. However, the attempt was short-lived as he felt lana intertwine her fingers with his. He looked to lanaagain. Although everything was covered by a thin sheet of darkness, he could see a blush under her shimmering green eyes that reflected each star.
"...it always feels really nice to spend tonight with a good friend," lana quietly said, a small smile on her face all the while.
The boy smiled, then focused on the stars again. Lana was right, the sky was better viewed with a good friend.
So this felt like the best nighttime sky Ash had ever seen, for he was in the company of a great friend.
As always, the sun was shining in Alola. Maybe a bit too bright for two friends, judging by their location inside Kukui's lab. They were sitting in the loft area Ash was staying in during his Alola adventure, just talking and laughing.
Well, except lana She was covering her burning face with her hands.
"Ash, how and why did you persuade me into these?"
The boy next to her simply kept smiling. "I just asked you nicely. It's either you're kinda naive or just have something against saying no to a good friend." He motioned to her feet. "Besides, the Pikachu pattern looks great on you!"
Lana uncovered her face to rapidly wave her arms above her head. "But we live in Alola! We don't need socks that reach our knees! I'm going to overheat!"
Ash laughed and sighed shortly after. "Those socks have some history, actually. I remember when I was in Sinnoh, it was so cold up north that I wore these Pikachu silly socks my mom gave me. Of course, you really couldn't see them under my jeans, Brock and Dawn would have never let me live that down if they saw..."
"...Brock and Dawn?" She shook her head and stood up. "So... if true adventurers wear Pikachu silly socks... do you think I'm a true adventurer now?"
Ash gave an affirmative nod. "Yeah! Lemme tell you, you're a pretty stylish adventurer!"
Lana didn't say anything, but her blush said the words for her.
"Now," the boy said, linking his arm with Lillie's, "how about we go on your first adventure? To Kukui's refrigerator!"
The girl laughed quietly. "O-okay! Let's go!"
Together, Ash and Lana climbed down the ladder to the loft and entered the kitchen with their arms still linked. And all the while, lana slipped around in her Pikachu silly socks.
Her gift of adventure from a good friend.
It was a peaceful night in Alola. The wind was gentle and the stars were out and shining. Standing on the balcony that was outside of her room was Lana who was gently humming while rocking a cream white egg. Ever since she had seen it glow while being attacked by that Salandit and learning that holding the egg wouldn't cause her any harm, she became the almost religious protector of the egg. She held the egg closer to her button-up light blue pajamas as she registered another shake of the egg.
She heard the cry of a Pikachu in her room, which caused her to smile. Ash had agreed to not only go with her for the afternoon, but to stay the night as well. He was probably somewhat worried about her after the scare that had happened mere hours ago, solana was grateful that Ash was willing to keep her safe.
"Hey, Lillie? You gonna come back here?" Ash asked from inside.
Lana turned around a bit. "Yes, Ash, I'll be in quickly-" When she was facing Ash, she held in a small laugh. Since Ash had not expected to stay the night, he had no choice but to ask lanafor a pair of pajamas for the night. "Um... I see you found the pajamas I set out for you."
Ash smiled while rubbing the back of his neck. "Yeah, and I gotta thank you for letting me wear these. I would've been really uncomfortable in just my day clothes."
The girl nodded as she walked back inside. While holding the egg with one arm, she closed the glass doors and made sure they were locked. She set the egg on the makeshift bed the two had set up and covered it up with a blanket. Lana placed a hand on the egg and sat down on the couch, where Ash joined her. He also set a hand on the egg.
"...so, should we get to bed now? It's getting kinda late, and I'm a little tired from that battle I had."
Lana found herself yawning after Ash had finished. She giggled quietly. "Yeah, I guess you have a point." As she stood up, her facial expression changed from content to nervous. "But... What if something bad happens to the egg? It's my fault it was almost stolen by that Salandit because I was away from it..."
Ash strode towards the egg and picked it up. "Then maybe you can take it with you! I bet whatever Pokemon in heart would be happy to know it's safe with its mother."
"M-mother?!" She took the egg from Ash and held it close to her again. "You're right, I am this egg's mother! I have to make sure that nothing bad ever happens to it again... isn't that what a good mother does?"
With the situation settled, Ash nodded. "Yep. Any good mother always looks out for her young." He grabbed the blanket the egg was previously bundled in and wrapped it around himself. "Well, I suppose I'll hit the sack now. I'm sleeping on the couch, right?"
lana bit her lower lip as she looked at Ash, then the egg. "Um... I think it would be rude of me to banish you to the floor or couch and I haven't told my butler that you'd be staying in a guest room..." She seethed a breath in, but partway through, an idea struck her. "Hey... children grow best with two parents, right?"
"Yeah."
"And... I don't want you to sleep on the floor... so..." She blushed a bit. "I'm sure I have plenty of room on my bed for the two of us. Do you want to sleep in my bed tonight?" Her face exploded into red. "B-but nothing serious! Just two friends watching over an egg and a friend making sure that her guest is served right!"
Ash set a hand on the egg and nodded. "That's very kind of you, so I guess I can accept your offer. And I promise, I won't steal your blankets." He winked, which caused lanato squeak with an even redder face that was as bright as a Cheri Berry.
The two, egg in tow, made their way to Lana's bedroom. She placed the egg on an extra pillow she set in the middle, then climbed onto the mattress and covered up in the thick blankets. While she lay with a hand over the egg, she felt the bed adjust to her classmate's weight. Like he had promised, Ash covered up without tugging the blanket away from Lana. She felt a hand over her's.
It seemed like hours passed as they both drifted off into sleep and stayed in their worlds of dreams. The egg also stayed still like it was asleep, like it was calm under the reassuring touch of its parents. Only small streaks of moonlight filtered through the window, the world seeming to stop to let two classmates enjoy the wonderful feeling of sleep.
"...Lillie?" a quiet voice whispered.
Lana turned her head to Ash. Their hands were still atop the egg, and Ash had his eyes closed. But as he just proved, he was still awake.
"So, if the egg hatches while we're sleeping... what would we do?"
The girl did her best to shrug while lying down. "I don't know. What would we do?"
Ash finally opened his eyes and directed them to lana "That's a little uncertain to me, but I know one thing: Mallow would never let us hear the end of that."
Lana tried her best to hold in a laugh, but it was a feeble attempt. "You're right, she never would!" She sat up as she saw the light outside brighten and change to a shimmering orange. "And the sun's rising..."
The boy swung his legs over and opened the window. Although the light was harsh, it was beautiful. He rounded back to the large bed and sat down on the edge while taking in the sunset.
Lana scooped up the egg in her arms and snuggled it close to her chest. She moved to the other end of the bed where Ash was sitting, then parked next to him, shoulders touching. She set the egg between them as she leaned her tired head on Ash's shoulder. While half asleep, she felt a gentle hand on her back. She put both of her pale hands on the egg, right atop Ash's other tanned hand.
She would have to invite Ash over for another sleepover another day.
At the Pokemon school, the festivities were still going strong. Even at a late night hour, the party was as fun as when it started. The credit for a classroom holiday party went to Professor Kukui, who wanted his students to have some fun together during one of the most wonderful times of the year.
While everyone was in the normal classroom, two classmates were wandering around the school building together. Lana, with Ash in hand, was taking him to a more quiet and secluded place. Maybe it had to do with Lana's dislike of noisy environments or she really wanted to spend more time with Ash, she didn't even know herself. But all she knew was where a nice quiet place to relax was.
They made their way to the very top of the school, right where the Bronzong bell would be. However, it wasn't present, as there was going to be a huge gap in when school started up again. So it was just Ash and lana
Ash looked at the view in front of him as he continued munching on one of Mallow's delicious holiday cookies. "Wow, I never knew you could get up here! It's a really nice view, I'll say that!"
Lana giggled and joined Ash's side as she finished the last of her sugar cookies. "Yeah, it really is. Sometimes, during those little breaks we have, I like to go up here and read a book on Pokemon. Too bad the bell always rings right in my ear when break is done..."
The silence came back and reigned supreme as the two classmates looked out at the stars. It was a little chilly with it being a winter night, but it wasn't off-putting cold. It was almost a cold that felt pleasant.
A quiet noise broke the silence, solana leaned against the counter-like barrier and looked up. On the roof was that Komala that rang the bell when needed. Its log was next to it as it was busy holding a thin twig instead. On the twig was a plant with two leaves and red berries.
Ash was also leaning forward with lanaand looking up at the plant on a string. The plant descended and stopped just above them, right in between them.
"So... how has your night been, Lillie?" Ash asked with a red face, trying to distract himself from the plant above him and his classmate.
lanagave a soft smile with a burning ruby face. "It's been wonderful, and I think it's about to become the best night ever."
Before Ash could question what lana meant, something cut him off. A something that was warm, soft, and tasted vaguely like the sugar cookies at the party. As soon as that feeling registered in Ash's mind, it faded. He then looked at Lana who was clearly blushing.
"I'm having a great night... the best night ever," she said softly.
Lana giggled softly before she ran ahead of Ash to presumably head back to the classroom party. Ash, now alone, smiled.
"...I think I'm having a great night, too."
Hau'oli City had many fun activities, like shopping and learning more about Pokemon at the Pokemon School down the path. But it also had some more delicious activities, and most Alolans knew of it.
The malasada. The baked goods of the Alola region.
In Hau'oli City's malasada shop, two classmates sat together. In front of them was a plate of malasadas, something that Lana had generously ordered for both her and her hungry classmate, Ash.
Before Lana could even grab one, Ash and Pikachu were scoffing the treats down. Well, this was Ash's first time having a malasada, so it was understandable that he was excited. But being so excited that the whole plate was gone within minutes? Lana had never heard of such a thing. And there were none left for her, so she sighed and prepared to put the plate back with the other dirty plates.
But before she could stand up, a tanned hand presented a malasada to her. Ash was holding out the malasada, a grin on his face, subtly dusted with a blush.
Lana smiled and took the baked goods. She had seen Ash and Pikachu gobble up every one on the plate, so she knew that he had saved none on the plate for her.
So he must've bought this one for her. It was even in her favorite flavor.
She took a small bite, and she recognized the taste of heaven. It tasted a little more blissful than any other malasada she had had before, though.
Maybe it had to do something with the friend that bought this one for her.
Alola was a tropical region filled with heat and the light of the burning sun. So it would only be natural for the region to make tons of money off of cool treats to eat and icy drinks to guzzle. In many cities, there were stands set up solely to sell bottles of ice water or something of the likes to locals and tourists alike.
In Konikoni City, where the Pokemon School was visiting on a trip to learn about Akala Island Pokemon, one of the students was getting dragged along by his friend. lana apparently had to show Ash something really exciting, so he just let himself get dragged along in hopes of knowing what it would be.
Eventually, Lana stopped in front of a cart with an umbrella on it to deflect the sun's rays. The cart boasted a worn illustration of Vanillite and bubbly letters reading 'CASTELIACONES'. Already, Ash was licking his lips for the sugary treat. His eyes were fixated on the picture of the double scoop chocolate cone, which lanatook brief note of.
Lana dug into her duffel bag which she had brought for the trip and handed a small sum of money to the man at the cart. After the man totaled the cash, he nodded and reached into the cart that held the delicious treats. While he handed Lanaa a single scoop of Pecha Berry, Ash was handed a double scoop of chocolate. He looked at Lana who was smiling and blushing. She had bought Ash the double scoop he was looking at before.
They thanked the man, then started walking around Konikoni City again. They found an eastern-styled gate that led to an amazing outlook of the sea, so they headed there. There was a bench facing the sea, so they took a seat there while eating their ice cream.
Together, Ash and Lana looked out at the shining sea of Alola. It was a magnificent sight, and sharing it with a great friend was even better. Sometime during this activity, Lana finished her Casteliacone and laid her head on Ash's shoulder. Ash felt himself smile faintly as he set his head gently on Lillie's. He finished his Casteliacone a while later, but still couldn't get that blissful feeling of eating one out of his head.
Because maybe a human being as sweet as ice cream was right next to him.
Dear Diary,
How are you today? I'm fine. I'm extra fine today, actually. You see, Ash just visited.
Ash is a very great friend of mine. He's one of my classmates at the Pokemon School. And guess what? He's pretty smart, considering he's been through six regions. Six, can you believe it? That's a lot of Pokemon he's seen and learned about! I feel like he's almost smarter than me!
But Ash... he's a great friend. A great great friend. Like... I admire him a lot. I always feel happy when Ash is around me. But what is it? Is it friendship? I think it's friendship. But it doesn't feel like friendship at the same time. Oh, what is it? I guess I'll have to ask my butler, maybe he knows the answer.
Well, gotta go, I gotta study for a big test tomorrow. And I gotta prepare my room, too. Ash is coming over again.
Sincerely,
Lillie"
Before lana closed the cover on the small book, she blushed a bit as she took note of the small note that someone had written on the front cover. She ran her pale finger over it as she felt her heart flutter.
"Y'know, you're a great friend. And maybe that's why you're so amazing. ~A.K.
It was a windy but great day in the Alola region. The sun was shining of course, and the wind added a refreshing cool to the usually sticky and hot air.
On a big hill near the Pokemon School, Ash and Lana were together and holding spools made of wood with string wound up on them. The string reached into the sky where both lines of twine were connected to a lightweight piece of fabric. While Ash's kite was in the shape of a yellow-ish and red Noctowl, lana's was shaped like a Rowlet. Ash's Rowlet approved of this choice, of course.
Out of nowhere, a sudden gust of wind from above tousled the kites around. The Noctowl kite spun around and intertwined with the Rowlet kite. Despite how hard As tried to save the kite, the kites kept intertwining with each other.
And then he felt lana put an arm around his shoulder. She giggled at the kites and put her head on Ash's shoulder while setting the spool down to replicate the strings in the air with her and Ash's hands.
Ash couldn't fight back his own smile as he also set his spool down and tightened his grip on lana'shand. Perhaps kites were used for more than mindless windy day fun.
Maybe they too, like people, were guided by fate to great friends.
It was one of those rare days in Alola where the sun was pushed aside in favor of the clouds. And the clouds carried a steady pour of rain, a double loss to most citizens of the Alola region. Pretty much everyone was stuck inside wishing for the precipitation to vanish.
However, Ash and Lana weren't such people.
Even without raincoats, the two classmates were rushing through the dampened streets of Hau'oli City, splashing through every puddle they came across. Did they care about the water that would require their clothes to be washed later?
Nope. There were no cares in the world to the carefree children.
Were they having fun, giggling and laughing as they spun around in the rain hand in hand?
Absolutely.
And that was all Ash and Lana wanted from the other.
lana can I tell you something?"
"...go ahead."
"Okay. So... this may sound a bit Farfetch'd, but I have something on my mind."
"Ash."
"It may come as Onix-pected to you..."
"Ash, no."
"But I can't keep my Meowth shut any longer."
"Ash! Stop! You're making me laugh!"
"Lana gave me a Chansey to speak my mind."
"Hahaha! Ash, I'm laughing too hard!"
"Haha... I can't Bayleef that you're finding these puns funny!"
"They're too funny! Hahaha!"
"Well, I'm not gonna wait until Eevee-ning to say it."
"Ash! This is too funny!"
"I mean, there's no Shaymin saying it..."
"Ash!"
"But here it goes."
"...snrk. Don't make me laugh like that again..."
"lana do you have any more Pokemon puns? I'm out."
"..."
"..."
"You're coming to me for pun advice? I don't have any a-Mew-sing ones."
"..."
"..."
"Haha. A-Mew-sing. You're good at puns!"
"I am? Oh, Shuckle... thank you."
It was dark in the Pokemon School's supply closet. Lana couldn't see anything. That was just what she wanted.
She didn't want anyone to hear her sobs.
As she felt another wave of tears about to burst, she heard some footsteps outside. 'Please, keep walking...'
"...hello? Lillie?" a voice from the outside called. The person's voice made lana's heart race.
Much to her disliking, the footsteps became louder and louder. She could now hear Ash's breath against the wooden door.
And then it opened.
"lana there you are!" He smiled and bent down next to her. "What are you doing here? Were you crying?"
lana tried to hide her pale tear-stained face, but she abandoned that idea and quickly wrapped her arms around her classmate. "Oh, Ash! Ash!" She buried her face into his shoulder. "Ash!"
Ash put a hand on her back slowly. "W-what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
The girl pulled away and wiped her eyes with some sobs to accompany. "I-I... it was about fi-five years a-ago to this d-day..." She broke down into tears again. "T-that was when m-my father d-disappeared... he's b-been gone ever s-since!" She went back to hugging Ash. "I'm-miss him!"
lana it's okay..." Ash rubbed that hand gently over her back. "It's okay. You're not alone, Lana He set Lana's head on his shoulder. "You're a student at the Pokemon School. You have friends that will always be there to support you when you fall down. Like I said, it's okay."
Lana felt herself calming down a bit. "R-really?"
Ash used the hand that wasn't on his classmate's back to grip one of the girl's pale ones. "Of course. And don't feel afraid to talk to me. I'll always, always be here for you."
Lana felt a small smile across her face. She felt her heart skip a beat as she felt Ash's grip on her hand become a bit tighter as he intertwined his fingers with hers.
She really wasn't alone. He said when was the last time you saw him She said out on the river He said you stay here I'm take my pokemo out and go look for him for you and bring him back to you he did and found him and said are you Lana's dad he said yes ash said she had been looking for you ash said hop on and I well take you back to them He did he took him back to Melemele Island and to her house and said I have a surprise for you then he said come in he did ash said look who I found they said thank you then he said it was the least I can do for lana Because I want to ask her If she wanted to be my girlfriend Then Lana said yes I will be your girlfriend Then they kissed
The class was bundled up in warm coats, something rare in the Alola region. It was only necessary as the Pokemon School's class was researching Pokemon that could be found on Ula'ula Island's Mount Lanakila.
In the crisp snow, lanaheld the ends of her coat up as she trudged through the snow. Ahead of her, Ash was also stepping through the snow.
"Ash, what do you mean that you've done this before? Snow is so weird and cold!"
Ash turned around and laughed. "Is this your first time seeing snow?" He somehow walked back to lana
Lana shook her head, which was powered by crystal-like snowflakes. "No. I've seen it once before... but then I hid under my bed, I was so scared as to what was happening. So, in a way... yes and no." She dropped her jacket. "And I'm never gonna get through this..."
The boy gripped onto one of lana's mittened hands. "Hold on..." He bent down and placed an arm on her back, then another under the knees. With a small grunt, he heaved lana out of the snow and was now holding her bridal style.
"Ash!" It was easy to see Lana's burning blush with her pale skin. "What are you doing-"
"Shh," Ash interrupted. He managed to walk out of the snowy area and strode into a clear area with only a dusting of snow. "Look up, Lana
Lana looked up, then gasped as she lay her eyes on the sky. In the sky were tons of gently drifting snowflakes that looked like little diamonds. One certain snowflake fluttered through the air and landed on Lana's nose, to which she alerted everyone with a small squeak. She felt Ash's chest move as he laughed, and she could almost feel his heartbeat. She reached out and let a flake land on her cream white glove, which made her smile.
"...it's beautiful, Ash..." She grabbed onto a gloved hand of her classmate.
She heard Ash laugh quietly. "It really is something. I think it's better with such a good friend watching it with me..."
And all the while, the beautiful diamond dust danced around them
Happy Valentine's Day, Lana lana watched as Ash produced a modest bouquet of flowers from behind him. The red and pink roses wrapped in shimmering pink paper were then handed to her.
"Oh, Ash..." she managed to say as she took the flowers, "that's very thoughtful of you."
Ash quickly went to rubbing the back of his neck. "So... I gotta ask... but will you perhaps... be my Valentine today?"
lana, with pale cheeks now red, beamed. "Of course... my Valentine."
She leaned forward and planted a little kiss on his cheek. The two then linked arms and walked out of the classroom, lana still as red as the flowers from her Valentine.
Ash, what are you doing?"
Ash took the sunhat off of lana's head and put it on his own. "I just need to take your hat for a second. I mean, it would be pretty hard to do this while you're wearing the hat."
Lana stifled a small giggle with her pale hand. "Ash, don't tease me like this!"
"But you're so cute when you're complaining!" the boy laughed. "C'mon, just give me a minute." He took a section of her bleach blue hair and separated it into three different sections. Over and across, over and across, over and across.
The girl tried to crane her head back, but Ash set his other hand on her head. Lana tapped her foot on the ground and waited.
She heard mumbling behind her. "And... done! Whew, it's been a while since I've braided anything."
In less than a second, Lana's face set on fire. "You... you braid my hair, Ash?"
Ash took the hat off of his head and handed it to lana "Yep. But it's probably not that good... I'm a Pokemon Trainer, not a hair stylist."
"But Ash, anything done by you is really great to me. So I'll probably love it," she contradicted.
The boy set an arm around his classmate's shoulders. "Aw, you're just saying that."
Lana shook her head. "Nope. Really." She put her hat back onto her head and giggled. "Now, how about we go get some ice cream?"
In the Pokemon School, Ash and Lana were the only students left in the room. While Ash was kicking back in a chair, Lana was standing up and petting an Alolan Vulpix's head.
"Ash... I can't believe I can touch Shiron," she quietly whispered. "It's so soft..."
Ash stood up and gave a grin. "Alright, I love to see that you and Shiron are getting along!" He stopped next to her and started petting the Ice Type Pokemon. "So, now that you're a Pokemon Trainer, you wanna one day have a battle?"
Lana giggled and picked Shiron up. "Maybe one day... but right now, I'm just focused on getting to know the Pokemon I bonded with as an Egg. And I think it's working just fine."
"Awesome!" He grabbed her hand and smiled. "So, why don't we all head to Hau'oli City and get to know Shiron better?"
The girl nodded and adjusted her sunhat while she kept an arm around her Pokemon. "Sure!"
Without any more said, the two kids and the Pokemon ran out of the room. Ash and Lana watched as Shiron darted past them, and they laughed, hand in hand.
It was a sunny day in Alola like usual. However, it was a very hot day. To the fortune of the citizens of Alola, the region was covered in beaches. So that day, the beaches were packed, and two classmates were there as well.
Ash and Lana, in their swimwear, were running barefoot across the hot sand tossing an Ultra Ball patterned beach ball around. They were both laughing and giggling due to the catch game and the faces the other was making as their feet made contact with the burning sand. Luckily, they made it to the sands near the water where the water lapped, saving their feet (lana's covered in a thick layer of sunscreen for her pale skin) from any more pain.
"I'm surprised you've never been to any of Alola's beaches in your free time," Lana pointed out. "Hau'oli City's beach is probably the most popular, considering all the shops on the boardwalk. You want to do that today, Ash?"
Ash tore his attention away from lana as he felt the cool water creep close to his toes. "Yeah, we should do that! But first, how about a dip in the water? I don't know about you, but it's as hot as a Fire Type's Flamethrower out here!"
lana nodded. "Sure. If Shiron were here with me, it would be able to cool me off with a Powder Snow... but I guess the ocean will have to do." She took a step forward, but then drew back. "But... There are Pokemon swimming around in there. What if I touch one...?"
Before she could continue, a tanned hand grabbed her pale one. "Don't worry! With a friend by your side, there's nothing to be scared of."
"Ash..." She shook her head and put on her determined face and gripped the beach ball tighter. "You're right! With a friend supporting me, there's nothing to fear! On the count of three, let's go!"
Ash laughed and set his brown-eyed sight on the ocean. "Alright! One, two-"
"Three!" lana let go of Ash's hand and ran straight into the water. She gasped upon the sudden temperature change, but the shock was replaced by laughter. "C'mon, Ash! You're gonna melt if you keep standing in the sun!"
The Kantoian backed up and crouched down. "I'm on my way!" He gained a running start and also dashed into the water next to lana
Now with half their bodies in the water, the two continued their game of catch with the beach ball. Occasionally, lana would spot a Pokemon and in turn would freeze, but Ash was there to set a gentle hand on her shoulder and show her the beauty of the ocean when not freaking out about it. Sometimes, the two would submerge their heads underwater and see the Pokemon and coral reefs, something they would thank Lana for later: she was the one who gave them the goggles.
After a bit of swimming, the two stepped out of the water and wrapped adorable Pokemon-print towels around themselves and headed towards the boardwalk. There, they stopped at a cart with an umbrella. Lana handed the man behind the cart some money, and in return the two were handed a cone of ice cream each.
They rounded to a bench as the sun was starting to dip below the horizon, licking their ice cream. The sunset against a shimmering ocean was beautiful.
Lana felt an arm around her shoulder. She looked over to the person who had done so and cuddled a little closer to him. "So... did you have fun today, Ash?"
Ash gently rubbed her shoulder with a soft smile. "Yep. I always have fun with good friends... especially friends I really care about, like you.
It was a nice, warm day in Alola's Melemele Island. At the Pokemon School, all the students were out and about for lunch. Principal Samson Oak had let all the students have an open lunch so they could enjoy the day instead of being locked up in their classrooms.
Two students ran across the bridge that led out of the school's premises, lunch boxes in tow. Lana has Ash's hand in hers, guiding him towards a secluded picnic table along the route that Ash usually walked to school.
Surrounded by a grove of trees, they finally made it. The subtle amounts of moss growing on the wood didn't faze the two children as they sat down and opened the containers. Ash had brought a peanut butter and berry jelly sandwich, while lana had brought a little salad with some of her home's homemade macaroon sweets.
It wasn't long before Lana gave Ash a macaroon knowing him. After that, Ash returned the favor by giving lana half of the sandwich. And so began the great food sharing war, each Pokemon Trainer even sharing with their own Pokemon while giggles and laughter weren't far from the scene. It was a kind gesture between Pokemon and Trainer, and an even kinder one between the two classmates.
It was a nice day for a picnic and to spend time with friends.
As always, it was a nice day in the Alola region. The sky was blue, and lots of puffy white clouds dotted the sky. Every time a cloud passed over the sun it would give the Alolan people a bit of shade, but just looking at the clouds was relaxing despite the scorching sun.
Near the beach, two young Pokemon Trainers were lying down on the roof of a sturdy home. Professor Kukui had never caught Ash and Lana climbing up to the roof, so they were safe for now.
Lana, who had her sunhat placed atop her chest, pointed up. "Ash, look! Aren't the clouds pretty today?"
Ash also had his hat in the same position as Lana's, but his arms were behind his head in a relaxed pose. "Yeah. I always liked these kinds of clouds... they look like the wings of Swablu and really soft!"
The girl giggled at the analogy. "They do! Say... since these clouds are the ones that make lots of shapes, do you wanna help me find a few shapes?"
"Sure thing!" Ash responded. He squinted and focused on a lumpy cloud with two "arms" extending from a round base. "lana, what do you see?"
Lana turned to Ash with a grin. "I see a Rowlet! Maybe your Rowlet is as fluffy as a cloud!" She turned back to the sky and pointed to a circular cloud with two long ears. "I know what that is!"
Ash looked at the cloud and laughed. "Of course, that's a Pikachu's head!" He felt his face warm up as he pointed to a cloud with a pointed tip and two rounded lumps. "And that one...?"
"...it's a heart." Lana quietly moved her sunhat up to cover her mouth somewhat. "It's... fluffy."
Silence followed the whole time the cloud was in the sky, but Lille quietly squeaked as she felt a warm hand atop hers. She turned her head to the left, and there was Ash, smiling at her in that gentle and warm way.
"Fluffy..." He quietly chuckled. "Yeah. I think it looks fluffy too."
Hand in hand, the two watched the heart-shaped cloud drift away and deform. Even after, they still remained hand in hand.
Lana's own heart was like the cloud: fluffy-feeling, because of the person she saw the cloud with.
It was finally time for the part of the year every student dreaded: the end of the year when all the big tests came around. It seemed like everyone carried their huge study guides with test material while school was in session.
That ledTV to some late-night studying as well.
In Kukui's home, Ash simply smiled as he ran his tanned fingers through Lana's blue hair. Her head was laying gently on his lap, all drained from reading the book in front of the two when they studied together.
It was a clear night in Alola. It was the time of day where everyone was asleep, tucked in and dreaming. However, not everyone shared that notion.
In Kukui's home, there was a light still on. Two kids sat in the loft, the bright glow of a small TV slicing the darkness. Both sat snuggled in a blanket, lana eating popcorn kernels in suspense of the horror movie that played. Ash was fixated on the screen, one arm around Lana's shoulders.
On the screen, a jumpscare appeared. lana let out a tiny squeal, the bowl of popcorn clashing on the floor. She grabbed Ash's arm as she leaned against him while making terrified little whimpers.
Ash turned his eyes away from the screen and rubbed a hand over Lana's back. He instantly felt her tense muscles relax.
"...if something scary happens during the night, will you protect me?" the girl quietly asked.
"Of course." Ash leaned his head against Lana's . "I'll always protect my friends... no matter what."
