She told Ash to wait for me by the entrance to Malie City.

Lillie: "Hey, Ash!"

Ash: "Alola, Lil-woah!"

Lillie: "So, what ya think?"

Ash: "You look wonderful!"

Lillie: "Wonderful. That's all?"

Ash: Blush "Sorry, I'm still pretty new to this relationship thing." 

Lillie: Blush "Yeah, so am I." He looks so cute when he blushes. "Do you wanna....wanna... hold my hand?"

Ash: "Sure."

They grab each other's hands.

Lillie: He feels so warm, and his hands a surprisingly soft.

Ash: "So, where should we head first?"

Lillie: "H-how about the Lunch."

Ash: "Sure, lead the way."

Elsewhere>>>

Jori and Bonnie were out exploring the island for a bit. Then they spot Kukui at the entrance of a desert.

Jori: "Alola Kukui, what ya doing here?"

Kukui: "Oh, I heard a Z-Crystal somewhere in this desert."

Jori: "Seriously!? Let's go then."

Jori tries to run straight in there, until Kukui grabs them.

Kukui: "Woah, woah. Do you really wanna run straight into Haina Desert?"

Jori: "I don't see why not."

Kukui: "The sunlight can be extremely harsh like an Overheat. Also, what some people don't know is the 'Haina' happens to be Alolan for 'cruel'."

Bonnie: "Oh well."

Jori: "Like that's gonna stop me!"

Jori runs in.

Kukui: "3. 2. 1."

Jori runs back out covered in sand and sweat.

Jori: "Holy shit! Why didn't you stop me?!"

Kukui and Bonnie started laughing.

Kukui: "Welp, I'd best be heading off. I'm going to the Maile Garden."

Bonnie: "I think Ash and Lillie are on their date there."

Jori: "Let's go and tease em."

Bonnie: "Totally!"
