And why would the Butler lie about Ash spending time with Lillie, and if it was a lie Lillie would deny it. The Butler's statement is enough proof its true.
Everyone went to Mallow's house more often than any other because it is a restaurant. Ash and Lillie did ditch Sophocles you just don't want to admit it because enjoyed floating together.
It's not what I believe it's what happened. Ash didn't fight the totem he only took down the support, but either way Lana could never beat the totem without Ash. But Ash & Lillie did more than that, they saved the world together by saving Lillie's mother and helping Lunalala and Solgaleo against Necrozma. Kyogre was just a one off thing with Lana.
