[Shopping Mall - Poké Bean Store]

Inside of a Poké Bean Store, that is located on the biggest shopping mall on Melemele Island. Everyone is there, checking out the various kinds of Poké Beans.

"What's this?" Ash asked, picking up a sealed-packed Yellow Poké Bean. "Is it a treat?" He asked, looking at it.

"This is a type of Pokémon Food called a Poké Bean." Rotom-Dex informed.

"Oh? So it's called a Poké Bean?" Ash asked. "Which do you want, Pikachu?" He picks up more options and shows them to Pikachu.

"Steenee's favorites are the flower-patterned ones." Mallow said, holding up the bag of flower-patterned Poké Beans.
"Steenee!" Steenee's eyes sparkled.

"I'm gonna be visiting Ula'ula Island for the first time in two years." Jasper said, smiling. "I hope Blaze, and Big Brother's other Pokémon would like these star-patterned Poké Beans." He said, holding the bag of star-patterned Poké Beans up.
"Rio!" Leo is on Jasper's shoulder.
"Sand!" Snowball is in Jasper's bag.

"What? "Flower-patterned", and "Star-patterned"?" Rotom-Dex asked, surprised. "Data updated!" It said, taking pictures of the Poké Beans. "I did not know there were Poké Beans with such patterns."

"The Pikachu-colored one is pretty nice, I guess." Ash said, looking at it. "Pikachu, what do you think?" He asked.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu agrees.

"This one, please!" Ash said, holding up the Poké Bean.

"Mallow, Lana... I would like to look at scarves and bandanas for Snowy as well." Lillie said. "What do you say, Snowy?" She asked, looking at her.

"Sounds good!" Mallow said.

"Let's go." Lana said.

The girls went to look at the scarves and bandanas.

Everyone else stood at the side.

"Girls really like shopping, huh?" Sophocles said.

"Pretty much." Kiawe said, sighing.

Jasper smiled. "There's no helping it. I also really like to go shopping, but since I'm gonna be busy, I don't really have the time." He said.

"Statistics say that when women get asked if they like shopping, more than 87 percent answer that they like it or that they do not dislike it." Rotom-Dex informed, as he shows them a pie chart.

"More than 87 percent?!" Sophocles said, surprised.

[Outside]

Everyone waited outside. Mallow, Lana and Lillie came out of the store after a while.

"We're finally done shopping now, right?" Sophocles asked.

"Not yet, Sophocles!" Mallow said. "Next up is Alola Sunrise! Let's go!"
"Go!" Lana said, excited.
"My!" Lillie said, pleasantly surprised.
