   Summary

   Ash never went to stay Alola. Couldn't bring himself to, he's that shaken from Kalos. Sure he's interested and all but ultimately decides that he doesn't want to stay, so he returns back to Kanto after dropping off the egg at the school.
   Kukui takes his class to Professor Oak's ranch and meets his assistant. A trainer who just might be able to help him, help Lillie. Only it isn't that easy, the kid is also heavily traumatized.
