Author's Note: When I meant the end of the month I meant the very last day haha. Anyway, this is a short chapter just because I couldn't think of much else. When looking at what I've planned out for this story, I decided to cut out some of the ideas I've had. Nothing too major as of now.

As for the future of this fanfic, I still want to work on it but I don't plan on updating it as much as I used to. I don't want to say when the next chapter will be too because I don't make any promises that I might not keep. But I will promise that it won't take as long as four months again.

Guest: I believe your the same guest that's been reviewed four times in a row. Thanks for the kind words even though I haven't been giving this fanfic much attention anymore.

DragonEmperor999: Thanks for your reviews and kind words!

Guest (2): Haha, I already have some ideas in mind back then but I don't remember them quite as well now. Thanks!

Shane: I haven't been keeping up with the anime for a while. When I saw your comment I flipped because I didn't know Guzma was in it now. I've watched that episode and loved it. Thanks for the support!

So yeah, I hope you guys enjoy this small chapter. :)

Three days have passed since Sun woke up. A minute after he did, he went back into his slumber. Lillie freaked out, thinking that she hugged him too hard. She did for the most part, but Sun needed his rest.

The doctors told them that it was baffling that he woke up a day after the whole incident. He should've taken a few days at least. How he had the strength to hug Lillie back was a mystery to them.

Everyone was glad that he was recovering step by step. Even Mallow looked a little happy at it. The heart of the matter was that he shouldn't be disturbed while he was trying to recover. The doctors kicked out everyone, including the bedridden Moon.

They haven't let anyone in since. Lusamine called in a few times and demanded to know what they up to. They responded with giving him medical check-ups and awaiting to see if he would wake up again.

He didn't.

The following day, Professor Kukui wasn't sick anymore and he apologized to the entire class for his behavior. Lana was absent again. Filling in her place was Moon. Not surprisingly, she was asleep for the majority of the class. She only woke up when it was time for lunch and stole Lillie's lunch. Moon gobbled it up right in front of her and fell asleep once more.

No one knew if that was what did it but Lillie didn't show up the next two days. Moon didn't participate at all. All she did was steal Ash's lunch and go to sleep.

Today was going to be different.

"Hehe! I'm prepared for Moon today!" Ash snickered manically, causing Pikachu to sweatdrop. Ash patted his lunchbox with a cheeky grin and put it back inside his backpack.

Mallow was beside him, giving him a strange look. "What are you on about?"

"Nothing! Tee-hee!" Ash skipped happily, absentmindedly leaving Mallow behind.

Mallow huffed. She wanted to catch up with Ash and her other friends, but she was unable to do so with her injured foot. It seemed like forever ago that she injured her foot during Stakataka's attack. Her life was tougher, no doubt about that. She was feeling left behind by her friends. Mallow hated that feeling.

'It's like when Sun ditched me for Lillie.' Mallow looked down at the ground. Her mind was in an array until she heard Ash call out to her.

"Mallow! You coming?"

"Y-yeah! Just had to adjust my footing!" Tsareena shook her head at her lie.

The walk to the school was quiet. Ash didn't notice Mallow's demeanor change. When they did eventually make it to the classroom, a surprise was waiting for them.

"I, Queen Moon, am now the leader of this school!" Moon was there with her foot on top of Professor Kukui's back. She had a royal crown on her head and wore red robes.

"Get off!" Kukui tried his best to get Moon off of him but to no avail.

"Peasants!" Moon glared at the two students in front of her. She hadn't spotted Ash or Mallow. Her attention was focused on Sophocles and Kiawe. "I require a throne! I demand you make one for me this instant!"

Kiawe crossed his arms, unamused. "Or what?"

Ash and Mallow slowly walked back out the classroom once the atmosphere grew eerily dark within a matter of seconds.

"Or what?" Moon tilted her head sideways and smiled creepily at a now shaken Kiawe. "Or what he says!? Hypno! Teach this fool a lesson!" Hypno was wearing a miniature jester hat on her head. She approached Kiawe with her pendulum in hand.

Sophocles yelped and hid behind a desk. Mallow followed his lead and hid behind Ash. The memories of Lana's story from when they were younger came back to them.

"Ah! A Hypno! Lana told a really scary story about them when we were younger and we haven't been the same since!" Mallow squealed, tightening her grip on Ash's back.

'This… this isn't actually all that bad.' Ash's face flushed brightly at the close contact.

"Do the thing!" Moon pointed her finger towards Kiawe. Hypno swung her pendulum left and right, hypnotizing Kiawe in the process.

Kiawe collapsed. He stood back up and had a set of swirly eyes on his face. A faint pink aura surrounded him.

"Queen Moon orders you to make me a throne!" Moon repeated.

"Yes Queen Moon." Kiawe replied in a monotone voice.

'Right. This is actually bad.' Ash came back to his senses once he saw his friend being hypnotized by Moon and Hypno.

"You!" Sophocles gasped and continued hiding. "Since you're not on my list or an enemy of Sun, I shall gift you with mercy."

Sophocles came out of his hiding spot and got on his knees.

"Thank you, Queen Moon!" Sophocles thanked her gratefully.

"But." Sophocles flinched. "As Queen, I have absolute monarchy over this classroom. With that said, you must tell a funny joke to decide your fate! You only get one chance! Failure to amuse me will result in you becoming like Kiawe over there."

Sophocles glanced over to Kiawe to see him stacking up the desks to make a throne. He gulped and started thinking of the funniest joke in his head.

'If I was Moon, what would make me laugh!?' He panicked internally. He had no idea what actually made the girl laugh despite having known her for a while now.

Then it clicked to him.

"I got it!" Moon leaned forward to hear him out. "Knock Knock!"

"Who's there?"

"Nobody!"

"Nobody who?"

Silence filled the area. Sophocles kept his mouth shut, hoping that Moon would at least let out a chuckle.

"Well? Hurry up and finish the joke!" Moon barked.

"That was the joke! Nobody is there so that's why I didn't speak!" Sophocles explained the joke to her.

Moon's eyes turned red. "Are you calling me stupid because I didn't understand the joke!?"

"N-no! I was just trying to-"

"Hypno!" Before Sophocles had the chance to run, Hypno trapped him under her hypnosis. "You're not funny! Act like a Chimchar and make me laugh!"

Sophocles jumped on a desk and began to act like a Chimchar. "Ooh! Ooh!" Now both Sophocles and Kiawe were under Moon's control. Ash and Mallow were the last ones, not counting Professor Kukui. The professor was currently incapable of moving, being squashed as a throne for Alakazam.

"Hehehe! It feels good to be in power!" Moon cackled, lightning cracking in the background.

Mallow clenched onto the back of Ash's shirt. "Ash, what do we do?"

Ash came up with a quick solution. "We need a distraction." He sadly threw his lunchbox at the middle of the classroom, sacrificing his lunch.

"Huh?" Moon tilted her head sideways in confusion. She closed in on the lunchbox, recognizing it to be Ash's because of the logo.

Moon opened the lunchbox. Her face twisted in anger and she threw it at the wall, spilling out its contents.

"Vegetables?! You packed a stupid salad for lunch?!" Moon's eyes turned red again.

"Noooo-" Ash was silenced when Mallow placed a hand over his mouth. Moon caught the sound of his voice and the direction from where it came from.

"You're still here? You think it's funny to pack me and lunch full of vegetables?!" Moon stomped towards Ash and Mallow, not finding their hiding spot yet.

"Pika! Pika!" Pikachu and Tsareena decided to sacrifice themselves next to buy their trainers time to escape. Of course, they weren't going down with a fight.

Pikachu leapt to the air and shot an electric net at Hypno. The new move worked like a charm and trapped Hypno.

Moon gasped, "Hypno! No!" She glared at the mouse pokémon. "She's not the only one who came mess up your mind. Jinx, hypnotize them with your singing!"

Jinx obeyed and cleared her throat, ready to sing a riveting song.

However, Tsareena swooped in and launched her in the air with a mighty kick to the face.

"Nooo!" Moon got serious. "Alakazam! Mr. Mime! Sick 'em!" She ordered.

Mr. Mime went first. He started out with his special technique that Moon called: Mime in a Box.

Mr. Mime touched the air, acting as if he were trapped in a box. Pikachu and Tsareena were mesmerized by this.

Alakazam joined in the action and sent off a pink ray at them with his spoons. The recovered Jinx and Hypno joined in too, hypnotizing Pikachu and Tsareena.

"Yes! You're under my control now!" Moon cackled evilly. "Now lead me to your trainers!"

Pikachu and Tsareena nodded. They slowly walked to the spot where Ash and Mallow were hiding.

Mallow clung onto Ash's back, fearing for her life. Moon would make her do anything that she wanted, which was bound to be terrible.

Ash clenched his fists, hoping that some outside force would assist them in their time of peril.

"Mwahahaha!" Queen Moon stood on top of her throne and laughed like an evil villain. Everyone was under her wrath! No one could stop her!

"The Pokémon School now belonged to Queen M-" Moon was cut off by her new phone ringing. Slightly miffed, Moon answered. "What!? I'm trying to make these peasants bow down to me!"

"Moon?" Lillie's voice came from her phone.

"Ugh. It's you." Queen Moon was getting ready to hang up.

"Wait! I'm with Sun and he says he wants to see you!" Lillie spoke quickly.

"Sunny~" Moon cooed with hearts in her eyes. "Tell him I'll be there!" She ended the call and innocently hopped down from her throne. She left the classroom without a care in the world.

Hypno released the hypnotized participants from her control and followed her trainer out the doorway.

"That's it… Moon is officially banned from this class." Professor Kukui groaned from his position on the floor. Ash, Mallow, Kiawe, and Sophocles groaned in agreement.

Lusamine was speaking with one of the doctors. Apparently, Lillie had threatened them with their jobs if they didn't let her in. That was way out of line, so now she was marching her way to Sun's clinic room.

The doctor had told her that Sun hasn't woken up once when they came to check up on him. This left her to wonder why Lillie kept barging her way to his room when he wasn't even awake.

"When I see Lillie… it'll be ten minutes of sitting in the time out chair!" She declared to no one. Lusamine made it to the door of the room that belonged to Sun. She had an evil plan in mind.

'I'll scare Lillie! Mehehe!' Lusamine slowly opened the door. She poked her head in carefully. What she saw made her heart warm.

Sun was resting on the hospital bed, no doubt exhausted by the events of Necrozma. His eyes were closed shut. Lillie on the other hand, had a bowl of stew on her lap and a spoon in her hand.

"Open up, Sun. It'll get cold if you don't eat it now." Lillie's tender voice spoke. To Lusamine's surprise, Sun weakly opened his mouth, letting Lillie gently placed the small portion of stew in his mouth.

'So the doctors were wrong. Sun is awake. Or maybe… those two have been secretly keeping this from everyone.'

To find her answer, Lusamine made herself known.

"What do we have here?" Her voice startled Lillie, almost causing her to drop the steaming hot stew on Sun. "My, my, you two little rascals. Thought you could keep this a secret from me?"

"M-mother!" Lillie placed the bowl of stew to the side and hastily stood up. Her cheeks flushed red. "It isn't what it looks like!"

"Oh? It looks like to me that you're keeping Sun's state a secret to everyone, including the doctors." Lusamine placed her hands on her hips. "Now Lillie, you can't take care of Sun on your own. He needs the professionals to take care of him."

"B-but I've been taking real good of him! See!" Lillie showed her mother the weak state that he was in.

"Let's ask Sun then." Lusamine went over to the two and eyed Sun. "Would you rather have Lillie take care of you, or a professional?"

Lillie looked on with anticipation. If he were to say he didn't want her help, then it'd be an huge slap to her face after all the time she spent on tending to him.

Sun was about to give an answer until someone barged in the room.

"Sunny!" Moon skipped her way to his hospital bed and jumped up. Lusamine managed to grab her in time before she landed on him.

"Moon!" Lillie's eyes sharpened. Her body shifted closer to Sun.

"Oh come on! I wanna see him!" Moon whined, flailing her limbs in an attempt to escape Lusamine's grasp.

"You can see him but you're going to have to be more careful." Lusamine said in a soft tone. Ignoring her, Moon continued to act like a rapid tasmanian devil, to the point of messing up Lusamine's long hair.

"Who is it?" Sun asked in a weak voice, attempting to lift up his head. He cringed, head seeping in pain so he laid it back down.

"Oh! It's no one. Just the wind!" Lillie patted his forehead, smiling warmly.

"Just the wind!? Oooh! You're so going to get it blondie!" Moon punched Lusamine in the stomach. The punch did the trick. Lusamine let go of Moon, allowing her to rush over to Sun and pounce on his body.

"Sunny!" Moon squealed, kicking Lillie off the bed. She tumbled to the floor as a result of this. Dozens of little hearts emerged from her form.

Lillie reeled back to her feet. The only thing on her mind was to yank Moon away from Sun. That was until she saw something she never thought she'd see.

Moon was crying.

The hearts transformed into broken ones. Moon's sobs became more audible as she clenched onto Sun tighter. Sun recognized who was on him and wrapped his arms around his friend.

Lillie's expression softened at the sight. She watched Moon reunite with Sun quietly.

"That's better." Lusamine patted her hair back to normal. She placed a hand on Lillie's shoulder. "You're not the only one who misses Sun, sweetheart. Think about Moon. Think about your other friends. Keeping his consciousness a secret only benefits you Lillie. Do you see what I'm talking about now? You should've told us that he was awake."

Lillie's bottom lip quivered. She turned to her mother and bowed her head. "I-I'm sorry, mother! I was selfish! I only thought of myself."

"That's quite alright. At least now you learned your lesson." Lusamine noticed that Moon was now shoving a clipboard at Sun's face.

"Please, Sunny! If you sign this then we can be together forever. Hehehe!" Dazed, Sun sluggishly grabbed the pen and started to sign the contract. Moon's eyes sparkled, not knowing the Sun hadn't really heard her nor had he read it at all. He just wanted to return to sleep.

"No!" Lillie snatched the clipboard out of Sun's hand and tossed it outside the open window. She and Moon butted heads, reigniting their rivalry.

"What's your deal blondie?! He clearly wanted to sign it!"

"He's not even fit to read the darn thing! You're not going to get him to sign whatever that paper is on my watch!"

"You're just jealous! Sunny clearly likes me the best! Don't you?" Moon leaned towards Sun, smiling cheerfully.

"Hmm? Oh yeah, anything for you Moon…" Sun drawled out, burying his face back into his pillow.

Moon lit up like a christmas tree. She jumped up, her emotions bursting wildly. Not only did Sun say she was the best, he did it in front of Lillie too. Moon hoped that the blonde haired girl would back off now.

"Moon is the best! Moon number one!" Moon shouted in joy.

Lillie pushed Moon away. "Sun, surely I'm at the very top. Right?" She asked, hoping that he merely had just forgotten about her.

"W-what? Oh… yeah. You're awesome Lillie." Lillie brightened up at the response.

"Oh it is on!" Moon declared war against Lillie. She released her Blastoise from his poké ball. "Get her Blastoise! Drench her in water!"

"I don't think so!" Lillie wasn't going to let Moon push her around, or anyone in that matter. Those days were over. Snowy jumped in front of Lillie, ready to protect her trainer.

"Girls. Having a pokémon battle inside a hospital is really disrespectful!" Lusamine gasped.

"Can it hag!" Moon growled.

"Yes! Be quiet mother!" Lillie added in, equally angry.

"Oh!" Lusamine gasped again, placing a hand over her chest. Her sweet, precious Lillie talked back to her! Such actions saddened Lusamine. She thought she raised a respectful young lady.

The ultimate battle between Lillie and Moon was about to commence.

That was until Sun interfered.

"W-while you two are here, I hate b-being cooped up like this. So I have a mission for you two." Sun broke them out of their aggressive behavior. If not for him, they surely would've made a huge mess.

"Anything for you Sunny!" Moon cooed affectionately.

"I'll be more than happy to comply!" Just like that, the two stopped fighting and looked at Sun innocently.

'Am I not the voice of reason anymore?' Lusamine sweatdropped.

Sun placed a hand over his forehead. "Ugh. There's a flower l-located in the Grandpa Forest. It's a big white flower that's about the-the size of a Togedemaru. Find it and bring it back to me." He requested.

Moon giggled, "Tee-hee! If you wanted a bouquet of flowers you should've just asked! I'll buy you some roses Sunny!" Her cheeks flushed red at the thought of bringing Sun flowers. It'd be so romantic.

Lillie frowned. She proposed her own idea. "I-I can get you a whole shipments of flowers! Enough flowers to fill an entire island. I'll use mother's money to pay for it all just for you, Sun!" She declared hastily.

"Excuse me?" Lusamine's eyes turned into dots.

"Ugh! You stupid rich folks are the worst!" Moon groaned. She was secretly jealous of Lillie and her lifestyle, though she'll never admit that. "Common folk like you and I, Sun should stick together."

Lillie shook her head. "Sun is far from a commoner. He's really well-known here."

"I wasn't asking you blondie!"

"I can speak whenever I want!"

Sun pushed past the pain and sat up. "Just get the stupid flower already!" And then he collapsed on the bed again.

"Sorry." Both Lillie and Moon apologize at the same time. They glared at each other once they realized this.

"Lillie… I want you to lead since you know where where the G-grandpa Forest is. Moon, you go with Lillie and p-protect her." Sun said in the midst of his attempts to fall back asleep.

Lillie frowned, actually taking some offense from his words. "I don't need anyone protecting me."

"Don't worry, Sunny! My strong pokémon will be strong enough to protect Blondie!" Moon smirked evilly, enjoying the fact that Sun didn't think Lillie had what it takes to defend herself. However, it may have been mainly due to his bedridden state.

"Not blondie… her name is Lillie…" Were Sun's final words before he let his slumber overcome him.

Moon scowled while Lillie smiled, glad that Sun remained to use her name instead of calling her blondie like he did at the beginning of his return.

Lusamine approached Sun's bed and tucked him in. She smiled as she patted Sun's head, who unconsciousness did the same thing in return during his sleep.

"You heard him girls. Go and find that plant!"

"Ult-roger!" Lillie saluted her mother, having gotten grown to using the phrase.

"Yeah. Yeah. Just lead the way already." Moon glumly walked out the door.

Before Lillie followed, she was stopped by her mother.

"Do make sure not to fight with Moon. I don't believe Sun would appreciate that." Lusamine advised her. She found the embarrassed expression from Lillie amusing.

"We're not going to fight!" Lillie cried out. She raced out of the door to avoid her mother's teasing.

Lillie and Moon wandered towards Aina's Kitchen. There was a shortcut to the Grandpa Forest from there.

They went to the back of the building and walked inside the forest. Their journey to find the flower had begun.

Moon happily marched in the lead. Her Blastoise, Hypno, Alakazam, Jinx, Mr. Mime, and Slowking were sided by side, forming a circle around her.

"Remember everyone, search for a white flower that's as big as whatever a Togedemaru is. Maybe about the size of Blastoise…" Moon pondered. She had no idea what a Togedemaru was, still being new to the region of Alola and all.

The pokémon nodded and spread out. Moon followed her Blastoise.

"You said you didn't want any protection so I'm going to go find the flower all by myself and take it to Sunny!" Moon zoomed off, setting her plan to motion.

Lillie didn't particularly mind that Moon ditched her. At least now there won't be any conflict.

"That's alright. We can find that flower on our own!" Lillie said to Snowy. Snowy barked, determined to find the flower as well. "If I remember right, Sophocles' Togedemaru is about the size of a basketball. And the flower patch is just through those trees!" Lillie jumped, elated.

She and Snowy ran past the trees. Unfortunately for them, they dunked their bodies in a lake.

Lillie shrieked, not expecting to be in a pool of water. She lifted her head back up the surface. A wild Popplio was seen on top of her head, clapping its flippers happily. It squirted Lillie's face with water and dived back in the water.

Snowy spat out a small stream of water from her mouth.

"Oh… looks like my memory is still a bit fuzzy. I haven't been inside the Grandpa Forest for a while."

Meanwhile, Moon was currently chasing after a wild Hawlucha that decided to play a trick on her by stealing her hat.

"Give it back!" Moon cried out, not liking the feeling of being hatless. She loved wearing hats. It was what she had going on for her, other than being a fantastic trainer of course. "Blastoise! Get it!"

Blastoise turned his head the other way, finding interest in the small lake instead.

"Blastoise! Stop being a big meanie and help me!" Huffing, Blastoise obeyed and began chasing the wild Hawlucha. Obviously, he was never going to match up to its speed, so Blastoise tried a different method.

Blastoise engulfed Hawlucha with a wave of water while it was in the air. Hawlucha squawked wildly and descended to the ground.

Satisfied, Blastoise went to go retrieve the hat with his mouth. He placed the wet hat on Moon's head and smiled.

Moon shivered, feeling the cold water drip down her face. She glared at Blastoise, annoyed. Blastoise whacked her leg with his tail and headed towards the lake to go relax.

"Why you…" Moon was about to unleash a verbal assault on Blastoise until Mr. Mime popped out from the bushes.

"Mr. Mime!" Mr. Mime pointed behind him, urging his trainer to go follow him.

Moon did just that. After a few minutes, they stumbled upon a hut of some sort. It looked like someone had really put in a lot of effort into it.

"Wow! Nice find Mr. Mime!" Moon praised her pokémon. Mr. Mime beamed at that. "Let's go ransack it now!" Moon rushed inside the hut, much to Mr. Mime's reluctance.

If Mr. Mime could describe Moon in the kindest way possible, it'd be careless. She has a short temper too. Moon meant well but sometimes she went too far.

Like now, the Kantonian girl was basically trespassing in someone's property.

Mr. Mime hesitantly entered the hut, only to find Moon chugging down a mug of juice. She sat on the counter, where there was already five empty mugs laying beside her.

Mr. Mime panicked. He confiscated the drink from her.

"Noooo!" Moon hiccuped. She sprawled on the counter. "Mmmm… those drinks were so tasty. I should bring one to Sunny… right after my nap."

Moon quickly fell asleep, snoring lightly.

Too bad for her and Mr. Mime that an unlikely visitor decided to pop back into its fortitude.

Mr. Mime felt heavy footsteps approach from behind him. He closed his eyes, waiting for the worst.

A heavy kick saw Mr. Mime literally being kicked out of one of the windows in the hut, courtesy of the guardian of the forest.

None other than Oranguru itself.

Oranguru immediately kicked out the intruder, no questions asked. It surveyed the interior, finding Moon sleeping on the counter and empty drinks surrounding her.

Naturally, Oranguru wasn't too pleased with this.

But then it remembered Moon. Yes, she was the same girl that he saw back at the Pokémon Paradise Resort. The same girl that tagged along with the Ultra Guardians.

The Ultra Guardians were good people. Oranguru befriended four of the members. Those being Ash, Lillie, Lana, and Mallow.

Oranguru drew closer to Moon, hearing her talk in her sleep.

"Hehe… I'll get that white flower for you, Sunny~" She giggled. "Then I'll show that blondie who is boss…"

Oranguru froze. Sunny? It was far fetched to assume things but the pokémon wondered if she was referring to one of its other friends too.

The pieces fit together. Only one other indication knew of the secret of the white flower. In fact, it was Oranguru who gave away this information itself. The white flower, or as its friend called it, the Bright Hope, possessed healing properties.

It may sound crazy, unreal, but it's very much true. There's only a limited amount of them, which is why Oranguru only let one other person know of it.

Sun.

On one day, Sun played in the forest by himself. Oranguru supervised him after Sun found his bar by accident. An incident happened that led to Sun spraining his ankle badly.

For some odd reason, Sun didn't want to tell his parents about it. He even cried and begged Oranguru for help, so it gave him the Bright Hope. Sun's ankle healed in a few hours and he thanked Oranguru with hugs.

If Sun needed the flower again then he must be hurt. As the guardian of the forest, it was Oranguru's job to help out those in need, including those who cares about the forest just as much as him.

Oranguru slung Moon around his shoulder and began to make its way to the area where the Bright Hope flowers grew.

Mr. Mime followed them, although distancing himself from Oranguru.

Lillie looked all over the forest to her best ability. She came up short, not finding any flower that met the description. She found ones the size of Togedemaru, but they were red. Then she found white flowers, but they weren't the right size.

"Ugh… maybe I do need some help to scope out the forest more." Lillie admitted, sitting on a log. Snowy sat beside her, also disappointed in their failure.

Lillie slowly grew scared when she was going to eventually return empty handed. Not only did she ignore Sun's advice to stay with Moon, she also wouldn't collect the flower for Sun. And if that were to happen then he'd probably hate her! Or worse. Maybe he'll hold a grudge, especially during the time when he was possessed.

She didn't want to lose Sun a third time, following his departure and his time being possessed. Lillie wanted to hang out with Sun, just like in the past.

Lillie hoped there wouldn't be another disaster waiting to happen once everyone got all cozy. They all deserved a long period of peace after the events that transpired with Necrozma.

"I want to be with Sun. Is that so much to ask for?" Lillie asked to no one in particular while also hugging Snowy.

As if fate answered her, she spotted a familiar face.

"Ah! Oranguru!" Lillie called out to the sage pokémon. Oranguru either didn't hear her or didn't care because it continued on without stopping.

Lillie knew of Oranguru when Sun showed her its place. That was about the same time when Mallow kept lied about being busy.

Lillie and Snowy followed after Oranguru. It wasn't a long walk and she came across a large area full of flowers.

What surprised her the most was when she saw Moon sleeping against a tree. Mr. Mime sat next to her, ready to alert her for any nearby threats.

"Guys!" Lillie approached Mr. Mime. Despite his trainer disliking Lillie, Mr. Mime himself had no issues with her. The psychic pokémon waved at her.

Oranguru came back to deliver the flower to Moon. Lillie caught and immediately panicked because technically Moon would get the flower before her.

"Oranguru!" Oranguru finally heard Lillie and turned to her direction. "It's nice to see you again!"

Oranguru nodded.

Lillie twiddled her fingers. "Actually, Moon and I are in this together. Since she is sleeping, you can give the flower to me. You see, Sun's not doing so well and he wanted this flower for some reason. It's our job to deliver it to him." She explained to the guardian of the forest.

Oranguru listened and shrugged when she finished. It handed her the flower before heading back to its bar.

Now Lillie was left with the task of getting Moon back to civilization.

"Where did you other pokémon go?" Lillie questioned to the sleeping Moon.

Unbeknownst to her, Blastoise led the others back to Aina's Kitchen. The reason? Well, they got hungry.

'Maybe if I woke her up…' Lillie pondered. On one hand, that meant she wouldn't have to carry her, on the other Moon would throw a huge fit.

She opted for the latter.

Lillie tossed a berry at Moon's forehead. It splattered all over her face on impact.

"Huh?!" Moon awoke abruptly. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, but stopped when she could hear Lillie, Snowy, and Mr. Mime giggling. She felt some sort of substance on her face.

Moon wiped a smidge of it with her finger and inspected it. She then licked it, depicting it as a berry.

"You think this is funny?!" Moon roared angrily. It was then that she noticed the white flower in Lillie's hands.

Scheming a masterminded plan, Moon allowed Lille to continue laughing and slowly crept towards her.

"Yoinks!" Moon snatched the flower from Lillie's hands and ran back to the direction of Aina's Kitchen in a hurry.

"Wait! No!" Lillie followed in hot pursuit. The pokémon glanced at each other and sighed, following their trainers in a lower pace.

Moon and Lillie arrived at the Aether Paradise and burst inside the hospital. They sped to Sun's room. Lillie had the flower in hand now, catching it from Moon during their running.

"Give it back! Gimme!" Moon hollered. She tackled Lillie to the floor. They fought back and forth, fishing for control of the flower.

"Haha!" Moon snatched the flower and barged inside the room. Lillie initiated the tackle next, falling inside his room.

"SUN! I GOT THE FLOWER!" Moon and Lillie shouted in unison.

What they saw in front of them beyond shock them.

Mallow was there, crying her heart out on Sun's shoulder.
