Lillie (anime): Difference between revisions

In ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]'', Lillie agreed to watch over a newly discovered [[Pokémon Egg]] from [[Mount Lanakila]] for a class assignment, seeing it as an opportunity to finally overcome her fear of touching Pokémon. After several failed exercises at petting Ash's Pikachu, {{TP|Ash|Rowlet}}, and {{rotom}}, Lillie was able to touch the Egg when she instinctively shielded it from a wild {{p|Salandit}}.

In ''[[SM013|Racing to a Big Event!]]'', Lillie watched her friends participate in the [[Pokémon Pancake Race]]. At the end of the episode, her Egg hatched and was discovered to be an {{alo|Vulpix}}.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', she and Sophocles had a [[Multi Battle]] against {{an|Brock}}. Sophocles started attacking first, but he made the mistake of thinking that Electric-type moves would work on [[Brock's Geodude]]. Lillie then assured him that she got this and commanded Snowy to use Powder Snow. Much to her and Sophocles' surprise, Brock countered the attack by using a [[Counter Shield]]. After the battle was over, she was fascinated by how amazing [[Gym Leader]]s were.

Lillie was present in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'' when Ash brought a {{p|Cosmog}} he had discovered to class; because no one knew the Pokémon's name, Lillie decided to name it [[Nebby]]. Later, Lillie reunited with Lusamine, demonstrating her annoyance with her mother for treating her like a young child. Lillie further explained how her mother never seemed to respect her wishes, revealing that Lusamine once evolved a {{p|Clefairy}} Lillie wanted to take care of, finding her daughter's reason for wanting to keep it unevolved to be illogical.

In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', Lillie enjoyed her regained ability to touch Pokémon by playing with them at the Pokémon School. When Faba kidnapped Nebby and took it to Aether Paradise while everyone was distracted, Lillie and Ash immediately gave pursuit, joined by Gladion and Lusamine. They headed to Faba's location, only to find that he successfully forced Nebby to summon a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}} from an Ultra Wormhole. The group tried to fight off Nihilego, but it proved too powerful and easily defeated their Pokémon. When Gladion tried to protect his family from the Ultra Beast, Lusamine pushed him out of the way and was captured instead. Nihilego then proceeded to drag Lusamine into the Ultra Wormhole while Lillie watched in horror.

In ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'', Lillie decided to set off to rescue her mother, donning a new set of clothes to begin her journey. She was joined by Gladion, and the two snuck out at night to head towards the [[Altar of the Sunne]] on [[Poni Island]]. After making their way through the island, they found themselves in battle with a group of {{p|Jangmo-o}} and {{p|Hakamo-o}} led by a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Kommo-o}}. With Lillie's knowledge of [[type]]s, Gladion gave Silvally a [[Fairy Memory]], allowing it to easily defeat Totem Kommo-o. The two were quickly joined by Ash and the other classmates, who had decided to help them rescue Lusamine.

In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', Lillie returned to her usual attire. She attended the wedding of Professor Kukui and [[Professor Burnet]]. During the post-nuptials, Lillie and her classmates accepted Lusamine's invitation to join the [[Ultra Guardians]], a task force dedicated to catching stray Ultra Beasts and returning them to their natural habitats.

As a part of the Ultra Guardians, Lillie and her Pokémon have been critical to the success of the group's missions. In ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', Lillie and her classmates were given their first task, capturing a {{p|Buzzwole}} that emerged from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] onto Melemele Island and began causing havoc. During the mission, Lillie helped heal a wild {{p|Snorlax}} that was drained of its energy by the Ultra Beast.

Lillie is extremely knowledgeable about the behavior, types, and background of Alola's resident Pokémon species and [[regional variant]]s, including [[guardian deities]] such as {{p|Tapu Koko}}. However, she appears to know little about Pokémon in other [[region]]s, as seen when she expresses surprise that {{p|Exeggutor}}—a {{2t|Grass|Dragon}}-type Pokémon in Alola—is a Grass/{{t|Psychic}}-type Pokémon elsewhere. She also has a tendency to bring up information that she has gathered from books. In ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', Lillie is shown to enjoy writing in her journal before she goes to sleep.

Lillie is shown to have a strained relationship with her mother, [[Lusamine]]. As shown in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'' and ''[[SM046|Deceiving Appearances!]]'', she is seen frequently getting exasperated whenever Lusamine treats her like a child, acting completely unlike her more reserved and quiet self. Another example of this was Lusamine's decision to evolve her {{p|Clefairy}}, whom Lillie was close to, into {{p|Clefable}} without ever considering Lillie's feelings on the matter, thus upsetting Lillie greatly. She is also constantly annoyed whenever Lusamine becomes distracted by her work and prioritizes it over spending time with her. However, ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'' reveals how the two were much closer during Lillie's youth before Lusamine became more absorbed in her Ultra Beast research. During the events of ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', after Lusamine had fallen under {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}}'s control, Lillie finally told her how much she hated her for her babying attitude, especially since Lusamine had been acting even more like a child under the Ultra Beast's influence. Lillie also refused to accept the possessed Lusamine as her mother unless she could fight its control, admitting that Lusamine was an incredibly strong person for keeping up her research for many years. After her words reached through to Lusamine, Lillie's relationship with her improved considerably, admiring her mother's compassion for starting the [[Ultra Guardians]] to rescue lost Ultra Beasts.
