>We're introduced to Lillie in the first episode of Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon when Ash arrives on Melemele Island in the Alola region (“Alola to New Adventure!”). Lillie comes from a wealthy family and lives on a large estate, and she attends the island's Pokémon School. Although she's knowledgeable about and fond of Pokémon, we quickly learn that she has a peculiar phobia—she can't bring herself to touch them! Even friendly Pokémon like Ash's Pikachu cause her to recoil in fear.
>Over the course of the show's 20th season, Lillie learns to overcome her fear of touching Pokémon, starting when she receives a Pokémon Egg as part of a class assignment (“Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!”). Lillie learns to care for the Egg, but when it eventually hatches to reveal an Alolan Vulpix she names Snowy, she shows her usual reluctance to touch the Pokémon. During a Team Rocket attack, however, Lillie instinctively rushes to Snowy's defense, grabbing her partner to save it from falling (“Getting to Know You!”).
>Of course, Lillie's family plays an important role in her story in the animated series. Although her brother Gladion shows up briefly in the previous season, it's the current season, Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon—Ultra Adventures, that really builds the family dynamic by introducing Lillie's mother Lusamine, the mysterious Pokémon known as Nebby, and the Aether Foundation in a storyline that will be familiar to fans of the video games.
