Narrator: Our heroes are at the largest shopping mall on Melemele Island in the Alola region.

"What's that?" Ash asked picking up a heart shaped item. "Is it candy?"

"It looks like candy." said Hayley, taking a closer look.

"It's a kind of Pokémon food called Poke Beans." said Rotom.

"Yeah?" asked Ash and Hayley.

"Poke Beans sounds good." said Ash. "Wonder which one Pikachu would like."

"Want to try some Poke Beans, Meeko?" Hayley asked.

"Lucario." Meeko replied as Hayley picks up a few.

"Look, Steenee!" said Mallow, picking up a package of Poke beans. "Steenee likes these floral-patterned Poke Beans."

"Steenee!" squealed Steenee.

"What? Floral patterned? Updating data!" shrieked Rotom, taking a picture. "I didn't know they had Poke Beans like that."

"This Pikachu colored one might be good." said Ash, picking out a Poke Bean. "What do you think, buddy?"

"Pikachu!" Pikachu exclaimed.

"I'll take this, please!" said Ash.

"Since I don't know which one you'll like," said Hayley, staring at the three Poke Beans in her hand. "so I'll buy you the yellow, blue and green ones."

"Cario." said Meeko, nodding.

"If you like one of them, we'll buy more for you as snacks." Hayley said to Meeko.

"Mallow, Lana, Jordan, I'd like to look at scarves and bandanas for Snowy." said Lillie. "Sound good?"

"Vul!" squealed Snowy.

"Good idea." said Mallow.

"Then let's go." said Lana.

"Pop!" said Popplio.

"You know, they're sure having a wonderful time." said Sophocles.

"I guess." said Kiawe.

"Some statistics have shown when asked if they like to go shopping, over 87% of women answered they really like it, or they at least don't mind it one bit." said Rotom.

"Ugh! They should ask us the same thing!" said Sophocles.

"I'm one of the 87% who actually doesn't mind shopping." said Hayley. The boys and Hayley were outside when Lillie, Lana and Mallow exited the store.

"Glad you found something nice." said Mallow.

"Ha! So, I guess that wraps it up, doesn't it?" Sophocles asked.

"Not just yet, Sophocles." Mallow tells him. "Next, it's off to Alola Sunrise!"

"Yay!" said Lana.

"Oh!" added Lillie.

"You're kidding." wailed Sophocles.

"Alola Sunrise!" gasped Lillie. "I've always wanted to go there."

"Hold on. What's Alola Sunrise?" asked Ash.

"It's an accessory shop for Melemele Island girls and super popular." explained Mallow.

"Oh, boy." said Sophocles.

"Accessory shop?" asked Rotom.

"For Melemele Island girls." said Ash.

"They're made out of heart scales that wash up on the beach and Corsola branches!" Mallow exclaimed. "They have the most amazing accessories and everything is completely natural."
