Silly Socks
As always, the sun was shining in Alola. Maybe a bit too bright for two friends, judging by their location inside Kukui's lab. They were sitting in the loft area Ash was staying in during his Alola adventure, just talking and laughing.
Well, except Lillie. She was covering her burning face with her hands.
"Ash, how and why did you persuade me into these?"
The boy next to her simply kept smiling. "I just asked you nicely. It's either you're kinda naive or just have something against saying no to a good friend." He motioned to her feet. "Besides, the Pikachu pattern looks great on you!"
Lillie uncovered her face to rapidly wave her arms above her head. "But we live in Alola! We don't need socks that reach our knees! I'm going to overheat!"
Ash laughed and sighed shortly after. "Those socks have some history, actually. I remember when I was in Sinnoh, it was so cold up north that I wore these Pikachu silly socks my mom gave me. Of course, you really couldn't see them under my jeans, Brock and Dawn would have never let me live that down if they saw..."
"...Brock and Dawn?" She shook her head and stood up. "So... if true adventurers wear Pikachu silly socks... do you think I'm a true adventurer now?"
Ash gave a affirmative nod. "Yeah! Lemme tell you, you're a pretty stylish adventurer!"
Lillie didn't say anything, but her blush said the words for her.
"Now," the boy said, linking his arm with Lillie's, "how about we go on your first adventure? To Kukui's refrigerator!"
The girl laughed quietly. "O-okay! Let's go!"
Together, Ash and Lillie climbed down the ladder to the loft and entered the kitchen with their arms still linked. And all the while, Lillie slipped around in her Pikachu silly socks.
Her gift of adventure from a good friend.
