Meet Lily, a Pokemon trainer from the Alola region
2
that happens to have one of the most tragic origin stories in the entire franchise.
3
At first glance, you may be thinking,
4
what is going on with Lily?
5
And a lot, this girl is traumatized.
6
From having a really chaotic family with an extremely abusive mother,
7
to Lily being scared to even interact with Pokemon in general,
8
she has a lot on her hands.
9
But to understand all this,
10
we have to go all the way back to the Alola region before everything got out of hand.
11
Originally, Lily's life wasn't messed up at all.
12
She actually came from a relatively normal family,
13
with two loving parents and a brother known as Gladion.
14
All of them really did get along.
15
Lily's mother's name is Lusamane,
16
and her main job is being the founder of the Aether Foundation,
17
a pretty normal organization meant to research and protect the Pokemon of the Alola region,
18
and her husband is the co-founder of the Aether Foundation at first everything was really going fine.
19
Until one day Moan, Lily's father,
20
made a scientific breakthrough and discovered the existence of Ultra Wormholes.
21
These are entirely new dimensions that contain beings known as Ultra Beasts,
22
extremely powerful Pokemon, I don't know,
23
I don't really consider them Pokemon,
24
where these entities resigned and throughout Moan's discovery,
25
he ended up getting into an accident where he opened up an Ultra Wormhole and one minute Moan existed,
26
and the next minute, Lily's father disappeared,
27
only leaving behind a Cosmon.
28
This was the single event that changed Lily and her entire family's life forever,
29
since it was never the same again.
30
Lily's mother was obviously experiencing massive grief after this event since she just lost her entire husband,
31
so Lusamine decided to devote a lot more time researching Ultra Wormholes so maybe one day she could bring her husband back.
32
After many long attempts of trial and error,
33
Lusamine was successful in opening up an Ultra Wormhole where she was expecting to be reunited with her husband,
34
but rather she was met with an Ultra Beast known as Nihilego.
35
This Pokemon ended up attacking her,
36
injecting Lusamine with some poison before dipping back into Ultra Space,
37
and from this point forward,
38
Lusamine was never the same again,
39
since Lusamine Lusamine was now a completely different person,
40
only obsessed with Nihiligo and the Ultra Beast,
41
making this her only life mission.
42
She no longer cared about her family or her husband.
43
Her two children, Gladion and Lily,
44
really felt the effects of this,
45
because aspects of Lily's life,
46
all the way down to the clothes she wears,
47
were meant to represent Nihiligo since Lusamine really only cared about this Ultra Beast.
48
And if I were Lily,
49
I would be furious since my entire identity is meant to represent the that destroyed your entire family.
50
Now, even though Lusumene was the only one to have contact with this Ultra Beast,
51
that is not the same for the Pokemon anime,
52
since there are multiple timelines for Lily's life,
53
mainly being the anime versus the games,
54
and both of them are still messed up.
55
In the Pokemon anime, Lusumene never comes in contact with Nihiligo,
56
so that's why she isn't as crazy or obsessive in that show,
57
since the one that got attacked was Child Lily.
58
When they were doing experiments in the Aether Foundation,
59
Lily happened to be roaming the halls,
60
and Nialego came out of ultra space and decided to abduct Childhood Lily,
61
trying to bring her back to Nialego's home.
62
Everybody was really shocked, even Gladion watching his own sister get kidnapped,
63
and she would have been done for if Cell Valley didn't come,
64
attacking Nialego and saving Lily's life.
65
This event was extremely traumatic for Lily,
66
and Faba, one of the head scientist decided to wipe her memories so that she would forget everything that happened.
67
To take it a step further to know how much of an asshole this character is,
68
it rewards Sal Valley by putting a muzzle on it and naming it Type Null.
69
Since Type Null is a legendary Pokemon that was artificially created with the sole purpose of taking down Ultra Beast.
70
I think this Pokemon design is really sick,
71
but technically Type Null is a de-evolution since it's literally just Cell Valley with a big muzzle.
72
At this point, Lily and Gladion were going through a lot,
73
so they did the only reasonable thing, which was running away.
74
Gladion decided to leave the Aether Foundation with Type Null since he realized this Pokemon was being mistreated,
75
treated, and Lily had found out that her mother was abusing Cosmog to try to open up more wormholes,
76
so she ended up stealing Cosmog and running away with this Pokemon,
77
nicknaming it Nebby, so they could try to start their own Pokemon journey.
78
And with that, this takes us to the start of the Pokemon Sun and Moon games,
79
and the start of the Pokemon anime when Ash enters the Alola region.
80
Because of everything that has happened to Lily,
81
she has an extreme fear of touching Pokemon,
82
and in the Pokemon games,
83
she just has really low self-confidence.
84
Within the Ultra Sun and Moon timeline when she's traveling around the region,
85
Nebi is also getting jumped by a bunch of random Pokemon,
86
and Lily really does struggle to protect this Pokemon,
87
but she's trying her best to get over all of her fears and insecurities.
88
Lusamine, on the other hand,
89
is still going insane, going down a really dark path,
90
and when Lily tries to reason with her mother,
91
Lusamine ends up disowning Lily,
92
saying that she has no children since they all ran away and rejected her love.
93
Lusamine's version of love with Pokemon is preserving them,
94
and she has one of the most messed up Pokemon collections ever,
95
where in her laboratory, she freezes Pokemon alive to try to preserve their perfect beauty.
96
I never thought I would see something like this in the Pokemon franchise since this looks straight out of a horror film.
97
She eventually ends up dipping to continue on with her evil plans and somehow captures Cosmog again,
98
finally cracking the secret to opening up Ultra Wormholes.
99
Everybody around Lusamine is pleading for her to stop trying to go to Ultra Space,
100
but this is all too little too late,
101
since she is successful in using Cosmog's power,
102
and she ends up going into the Ultra Wormhole,
103
dipping from our current reality,
104
and is now off somewhere in Ultra Space.
105
This girl really left her kids behind with no parents now,
106
and even more trauma.
107
Lily spends the rest of her time trying to figure out what happened to her mother,
108
and how exactly they can save her since she still has a soft spot for her mom
109
and ultimately wants her to be safe.
110
Gladion is also in the same camp
111
and the story ends up progressing with the main character
112
and Lily eventually playing a flute to end up evolving Nebi into its final form Lunala
113
or Sogaleo depending on the game you play.
114
So now that they're able to open up Ultra Wormholes and save Lily's mom.
115
Lily pleads with Lunala to open up an Ultra Wormhole since she wants to save her mother,
116
and she has no idea
117
if she's even alive since this is the second family member to go into Ultra Space and never come back.
118
So Nebi decides to do just that.
119
And this is where the timeline splits,
120
because in the Pokemon Ash anime and in the base Sun and Moon games,
121
we end up entering Ultra Space and meeting Lusamine there,
122
but in the Ultra Sun timeline,
123
when Lunala opens the portal,
124
Lusamine immediately falls out into the real world, extremely beat up.
125
Lily is really shocked, but before she can even process anything,
126
Necrozma, one of the strongest Ultra Beasts ever,
127
starts emerging from the portal,
128
ready to reign terror on the Alola region.
129
Lusamine ends up regaining consciousness and tells Lily to run away,
130
since when she entered Ultra Space,
131
base, Necrozma was infuriated with rage,
132
going on a complete rampage,
133
and this Pokemon is way too powerful for anyone to handle.
134
Lily understands the situation that they're in,
135
and ends up locking in with Lunala to challenge Necrozma.
136
These two end up having a heated fight.
137
Nebi is throwing hands and shooting beams at Necrozma,
138
and Necrozma seems to be holding their own,
139
but they're pretty evenly matched.
140
Lunala ends up flinging Necrozma into a cliff,
141
and while this Pokemon is trying to to recover,
142
Lunala launches its signature move,
143
blasting a beam of energy at Necrozma.
144
Everyone thought the battle would have been over,
145
but Necrozma was still standing,
146
and decided to activate its Trump card.
147
While Lunala was trying to charge up its next attack,
148
Necrozma ends up pinning this legendary Pokemon onto the ground,
149
then ends up absorbing all of Lunala's energy,
150
fusing with this Pokemon turning into Ultra Necrozma.
151
The cast at this point is absolutely cooked.
152
Lily is obviously the most hurt since their only chance of winning and one of her best friends just got absorbed,
153
and when all hope seemed lost,
154
the main characters of those games decide to step in and try to show this Pokemon who's boss,
155
and obviously you, the main character,
156
ends up saving the day,
157
defeating this Pokemon and bringing peace to the Alola region.
158
The way these events play out in this timeline are fine,
159
but in the Pokemon anime,
160
it does get a little more interesting,
161
and we do end up getting closure on what happened to Lily's dad.
162
As we know, Lily is extremely scared to touch Pokemon,
163
like she does not mess with these creatures,
164
and when Ash first meets Lily,
165
he notices this, and everyone's really trying to help her come over these fears,
166
and Lily doesn't really know why she's scared of Pokemon,
167
since Faba did wipe her memories of her getting attacked by an Ultra Beast when she was a kid,
168
so Lily really does have internal turmoil on why she feels like this.
169
As the anime progresses, as Lily slowly gets more and more comfortable with being around Pokemon and interacting with them,
170
but one day she ends up encountering Gladeon and Type Null,
171
and this triggered an effect in Lily's brain to start slowly remembering her traumatic past,
172
since she was brainwashed to forget it,
173
and she's spending a lot of time processing what's going on,
174
and why Nyaleego attacked her when she was younger.
175
Gladeon gets pissed off since her sister is going through all this,
176
so he decides to confront Faba himself,
177
And by confrontation, I just mean Gladion tried to jump this man,
178
and it's well-deserved since Faba is a bum.
179
But Gladion's Pokemon are no match, getting one shot.
180
And to make matters even worse,
181
Faba's drowsy ends up hypnotizing Gladion.
182
He falls to the floor,
183
and Faba steals Typeknot from Gladion.
184
While this is all going on,
185
Lily is walking through the city with Ash and slowly regaining some of her memories,
186
remembering all the fun times she had with her family.
187
But the gang is still really confused on why Lily lost her memories in the first place.
188
When Gladion wakes up, he wants to hunt down Faba since he stole his Pokemon,
189
and they decide to end up pulling up to Lusamine's house,
190
and these two end up having a pretty deep conversation where
191
Gladion does call out his mother for being a bit of a neglectful parent,
192
because even though in this timeline she doesn't know about Type Null or that Lily got her memories wiped,
193
Lusamine is still Lily's mother,
194
and she's pretty absent from their life and should take some responsibility for her literal children.
195
To make matters even worse,
196
Lily ends up getting kidnapped by Faba since he realized Lily's getting her memories back,
197
and brings out his Hypno again to try to brainwash Lily to forget her past.
198
If it wasn't for Ash and Pikachu jumping into the mix and stopping this from happening,
199
Lily would've been memory wiped again in another Genjutsu.
200
Faba's Alakazam decides to use Psychic on everybody,
201
freezing them in place and flinging Lily up into the air,
202
and now I know this Alakazam is not trying to do
203
what I think it is by throwing Lily up into the air and dropping her onto the ground trying to kill her.
204
Regardless, Gladeon pulls up and gets Type Null back,
205
releasing it from its Pokeball,
206
and Type Null ends up evolving into Salvalli,
207
jumping straight at Alakazam and saving Lily.
208
And when Lily did end up seeing this Pokemon,
209
she fully regained all of her memories now.
210
Since Salvalli was the one that saved her when she was a kid,
211
Salvalli ends up getting reckless and defeating Fava,
212
and Lusumene ends up hugging Lily and crying for all the hell that she's put her through,
213
wanting to actually be a good mother starting now and be a happy family with her and Gladion.
214
Everything did seem to be going fine,
215
until Faber crashed out, he ended up kidnapping Nebi and opening up an Ultra Wormhole,
216
summoning Nihiligo, bringing back the Ultra Beast that terrorized their family.
217
This Ultra Beast ended up swooping down and tried to kidnap Gladion,
218
but Lusamine ends up getting in the way,
219
sacrificing herself for her children and gets kidnapped by Nihiligo,
220
dipping into Ultra Space.
221
Obviously, Lily and everyone else is really shocked and wants to get their mother back,
222
so they end up going through a bunch of shenanigans to try to go back to Ultra Space,
223
and they eventually do end up opening up a wormhole,
224
but when they meet up with Lusamine again,
225
she ends up fusing with Nihiligo.
226
This is kind of similar to what happened in the base Sun and Moon games,
227
and Lily does try to talk no jutsu her mom out of Nihiligo,
228
saying stuff like, mother this isn't you and you'll step into the light,
229
and for a second I generally thought this was working,
230
but Nihiligo wasn't having any of that and took full control of Lusamine,
231
so Ash put in the work using his Z-move to defeat this Pokemon and bringing back Lusamine back to Earth.
232
Now from this point forward,
233
Lily, Gladeon, and Lusamine were able to start bonding as a family,
234
since all their problems seem to be gone,
235
but there is still one more missing family member, which is their dad.
236
In the Pokemon games, Moan is just a random NPC that passes by the Aether Foundation one time,
237
but nobody reminds him of his past life,
238
since it seems like he has no memory of being a scientist or going to ultra space,
239
and Lusumin decides that as long as his life is happy,
240
she won't remind him.
241
But in the Pokemon anime,
242
we do find out what happened to Lily's dad when he got trapped in ultra space.
243
The minute he landed there,
244
a Nihiligo ended up saving him and opened up an Ultra Wormhole back to Earth in a random snowy rundown cabin.
245
Nihiligo used their powers to awaken Moan,
246
but the one thing is,
247
Moan had now thought that the Nihiligo that saved him was his daughter known as Lily.
248
Moan ends up spending years in this cabin thinking that he's living a regular life with his daughter,
249
but in reality he's just chilling in a cabin with an Ultra Beast that is just LARPing.
250
In Pokemon Journeys, a Magurna
251
that Lily's dad used to own ends up giving them a tip that Moan may actually be alive.
252
Their entire family ends up traveling through a winter biome
253
and they do end up meeting up with Lily's dad
254
and the whole family is shocked to see that this guy is alive
255
but the one thing is he has no memory of his past life.
256
He does not recognize Lily or Lusamine or Gladion
257
and this really sends Lusamine down a depressive spiral since the
258
husband she's devoted her life to trying to find does not have any memory of her.
259
Moan ends up inviting these strangers into his house,
260
and they do try to remind him of his past life,
261
but nothing's really getting through to him.
262
Moan does mention that he's living with his daughter,
263
and that the visitors can take a look,
264
which is really strange to everybody else,
265
since Lily is Moan's daughter.
266
And when they end up going to the other room where Moan's new daughter would be,
267
they end up meeting the Nihiligo that is posing as Lily.
268
They all try to play it cool,
269
but Nihiligo gets caught off guard and decides to attack Lily.
270
Ash ends up jumping into the mix and saving Lily last minute,
271
and they end up calming down the Nihiligo,
272
and eventually, Moan does regain his memories of his past life.
273
He remembers many years ago falling into the portal and getting saved in ultra space,
274
but now he's reunited with his family and he can finally start his life again,
275
making up for all the lost time this dude has had just chilling in a random cabin,
276
everybody is extremely happy, even Lusamine is crying, except for Nihiligo.
277
Since Nihiligo had spent so much time with Moan pretending to be his daughter,
278
but this Pokemon realizes that all good things must come to an end,
279
until Lily stops Nihiligo, and acknowledges that this Pokemon is just as much as part of the family as she is,
280
since Nihiligo saved Moan's life,
281
and that she's willing to fully accept this Pokemon.
282
They end up showing a really good visual representation of two Lilies here,
283
and the family decides to catch the Ultra Beast,
284
Nihiligo, and finally be fully reunited as one big happy family.
285
Lilies' story is honestly one of the best ones in the entire Pokemon franchise,
286
and I really wish they continued to make more characters like this,
287
but for now, I've got a video on your screen explaining even more Pokemon lore,
288
so click that.
289
Thank you so much for watching!

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
