Alola Savior

Chapter 11

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Alright! The opportunity was too good!" Hau explained to the fuming blonde as Hau's new Brionne washed the marker carefully off her face.

Ash went and deleted the photos that Rotom took despite Rotom trying to back them up to a separate server.

"Oh by the way Ash. Word of warning, you remember my cousin Mallow? She is here so I suggest just lay low..." Hau confessed.

"Why is she here?" Lillie asked. "And how do you know?"

Hau looked away nervously.

"Yeah... About that. We kind of got into a fight. Her Steenee blew back Pichu and with Popplio being weak to grass, I brought out Eevee underestimating it and it went berserk on Steenee." Hau explained to the others.

"Why didn't you just return it?" Ash asked.

"Smarter and quicker than what I thought. Used shadow ball on my hand and knocked the ball away." Hau admitted, showing his bandaged hand to the Lillie and Ash. "Popplio steps in and evolves to Brionne and finishes Eevee off. However, Steenee was in a critical condition and I despite my hatred to her, I couldn't just leave her."

"Yeah you couldn't!" a new voice called out as Hau stiffened up.

Mallow was standing in the doorway with a look of hatred aimed at Hau.

"Mallow. How is Steenee?" Ash asked with concern, despite having no idea on what Steenee was.

Mallow's attitude changed as soon as she heard Ash's voice.

"Oh she'll be fine! Nurse Joy just said give her a few days rest! However, that moron over there isn't off the hook just yet." Mallow explained sweetly.

Hau groaned as he walked to his room that he was staying in.

Mallow gave Hau a sassy middle finger before turning back to Ash.

"Say? There is going to a massive festival at the Hano Grand Resort tomorrow? Care to come along and you know, have a good time?" Mallow asked Ash specifically, ignoring Lillie's existence.

Hau came running out of his room.

"You can't be serious?! You have to like reserve a place there like a whole year advance!?" Hau shouted.

"Oh, do we? (Sigh) and we should probably get a move on to our next trial." Ash added on as Mallow giggled.

"You mean Lana? She'll be there tomorrow as well. We have been planning this for well over a good year and a half now! We got a place reserved and all about 11 months ago." Mallow explained.

"So that's why you're here?" Hau asked.

Mallow nodded.

"We still can't get a room there!"

"Um... I think I can fix that..." Lillie mumbled.

Everyone turned to her.

"You see. I remember the professor mentioning that he and his wife have a reserved room at Hano Grand Resort for whenever they need a break from all their work. I could ask if it's alright if we use it just for a night or two." Lillie confessed.

"There we go! I'll see you tomorrow hot-stuff!" Mallow chirped at Ash just before leaving. "I can take you there if you want. You know so you don't get lost and all!"

Ash shrugged his shoulders. He had caught on easily that Mallow was flirting with him. He didn't really care at this point and just wanted to get on with it. But pretty much since he has been in Alola, it's been all action packed.
