SM020: Difference between revisions

{{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} are at the largest shopping mall on [[Melemele Island]] doing some shopping. Ash examines what appears to be candy and {{Rotom}} explains that it is a Pokémon food called [[Poké Bean]]s. Ash wonders which one {{AP|Pikachu}} would like while {{an|Mallow}} says that {{TP|Mallow|Steenee}} likes the floral patterned Poké Beans. Ash then decides to go for a Pikachu-colored Poké Bean. {{an|Lillie}} says that she wants to look at scarves and bandannas for [[Snowy]] which {{an|Lana}} and Mallow agree to help with, though Ash, {{an|Sophocles}} and {{an|Kiawe}} don't appear as excited. Later, the girls emerge from the shop and Sophocles suggests that this wraps things up. However, Mallow says they are not done yet, as they will be heading to Alola Sunrise, a popular shop that sells accessories made out of natural materials such as [[Heart Scale]]s and {{p|Corsola}} branches. Kiawe makes an excuse to leave and takes off on his {{TP|Kiawe|Charizard}} as well as Sophocles, who says he had forgotten to water the flowers. Rotom also suddenly remembers that Alolan Detective [[Laki]] is starting soon, and though Ash mentions that it will be recorded, Rotom leaves, saying that a true Laki fan will be watching it. Realizing what is about to happen, Ash starts to make up an excuse to leave but is stopped from leaving by Mallow.  

Back on the island, Cutiefly flies off and Ash and Pikachu follow, arriving at a meadow with many Cutiefly, {{p|Ribombee}}, {{p|Butterfree}} and {{p|Comfey}}. One of the Comfey wraps its lei around Ash's neck. They then spot a group of {{alo|Exeggutor}} walking by, and Ash and Pikachu decide to follow, mimicking their walk and speech. The Exeggutor then stop by a spring for a drink, and Ash and Pikachu join them, diving in and joining in the fun. After parting ways with the Exeggutor, Ash and Pikachu sit on a log as Ash's clothes dry in the sun. Ash brings out the Poké Beans that he had bought earlier and gives Pikachu a Poké Bean before helping himself to one. Ash notes that it has been quite a while since they had been by themselves, and reflects that they've met so many people and Pokémon in Alola. Ash then reaffirms his goal of becoming a Pokémon Master before falling asleep. Later, they are awoken by a group of {{p|Wimpod}} who have surrounded them. As Ash wonders what they are, one of them bites Ash on the foot as two of them invade his backpack and take the bag of Poké Beans. The Wimpod scurry away but they chase after them, as Pikachu manages to grab their bag of Poké Beans before the Wimpod dive into the water.  

On the beach, Ash watches as the sun starts to set and decides they had better hurry back home. However as they set off, they hear an odd sound. Pikachu senses where it is coming from, and they find a Wimpod stuck in a crevasse. Pikachu tries to squeeze through the hole but is too large to fit in. Ash then notices that he could climb a big cliff face and then climb back down into the crevasse to retrieve the Wimpod. Ash tries several times to climb the cliff face but keeps falling down. Pikachu has an idea and runs off, as Ash falls again, being distracted by Pikachu. Exeggutor then arrives with Pikachu clinging to its neck. Ash climbs on, and the Exeggutor lifts the two up onto the top of the cliff. Ash thanks Exeggutor for the lift before climbing to where the Wimpod is stuck. The Wimpod gets frightened and tries to run through a gap in the crevasse. Ash realizes that this is how Wimpod had gotten in, but a big rock had blocked its way back out. Ash tries to move the rock but finds it too heavy, and instead has Pikachu to help him out by using {{m|Iron Tail}}. Pikachu then smashes the rock, and Wimpod leaves to join its friends who had been waiting in the ocean. Wimpod comes back to Ash to thank him, before rejoining its friends. Watching the Wimpod leave, Ash and Pikachu notice something in the sky and spot {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Lele}} flying over to them, scattering its glowing scales. Ash watches amazed as it heals the scratches that he had attained whilst rescuing Wimpod. Surprised, he thanks Tapu Lele before heading home.
