This is just for a fun one-shot. Basically, this is not canon to the rest of this story.

Ash glares at Mallow; not out of hate, but more of that look he gives when he stares down at his opponent in a Pokémon battle. So far, the chef has taken down Kiawe and Sophocles in a game of...

Truth or Dare.

"All right Ash," Mallow starts with a sly smirk. "Truth or dare."

Ash arrogantly returns the smile. He has played this game plenty of times before with his past traveling companion and all the females (namely Misty, May, and Dawn) all tried to embarrass him, but all three failed.

So will Mallow once this is over.

"Okay...truth."

Mallow chuckled maliciously, which scared Lillie who is also playing along with Lana. The two boys, who were utterly embarrassed by the chef, were currently crying at the corners of the room that they were in.

The remaining players were sitting in circle on the floor.

"What? Scared?" Mallow taunted.

"Nooo..." Ash taunted back, "But are you?"

The green haired chef just smiled darkly before asking the Truth guestion, "Have you ever kissed a girl before and vice-versa? If so, how many?"

"What that's it?" Ash thought, thinking the truth question is weak.

Lillie blush when she heard that question. Right now, she is starting to regret brining her friends to her mansion for a sleepover. It all started out fun, but she has completely forgot how much of a monster Mallow is at this game. Her friend has already traumatized Kiawe and Sophocles and the bookworm does not really want to see Ash hurt by a question.

"Ash, you don't have to-" Lillie tried to tell him, but he already answered the Truth question.

"Oh yeah," The raven haired teen answered. He counted his fingers to remember the exact amount, "4, no wait, 5 girls actually."

"WHAT!?" Lillie screamed. She was not the only one who was surprised, Lana's glowing brightly like Christmas tree while Mallow was quite shocked at the number.

"Wow, who kissed you?"

He already finished his turn, but Ash decided it was okay to share. It's just a harmless Truth.

"Lets see, there was Bianca from Alto Mar. I think she kissed me to show her gratitude for helping her,"

A dark cloud formed above Lillie. Ash has helped her plenty of times already and he was never asked to help her, he just did it because he is just that nice.

"I wish I could show you my gratitude."

Mallow giggled, "Surprising the number isn't higher." Ash has occasionally told his classmates stories of his years of traveling and a lot of the stories involved helping who are indeed to help or saving.

"Y-yeah." Lana said nervously, which caught Mallow's attention.

She squinted her eyes at the water Pokémon lover.

"Wait a minute..." She slowly said before standing and pointing accusing fingers at Ash and Lana. "You two kissed!?"

Lillie gasped at the revelation. "L-Lana...?" For some reason, she feels so betrayed.

Mallow proceeded to glare at Lana, who held her hands defensively.

"I only did it because my sisters wouldn't stop pestering me to kiss Ash!"

That calmed down Lillie...just a little.

Mallow huff before turning her attention back to Ash.

"There was Melody from Orange Island, she kissed me as a welcoming gift." He said before saying the last two names. "And May and Dawn, they kissed me because they were grateful for showing them pointers on how to be Pokémon Trainers."

"Were any of them on the lips, Ash?" Mallow asked curiously while looking at Lana, who blushed.

"It wasn't on the lips! I-I only k-ki-kissed him on the cheek."

Mallow gave her a deadpanned look, "Really? That's boring."

"Well then, I'm sorry Mallow because all the girls who kissed me, only did it on my cheek."

The chef slap a hand on her face.

"Only the cheek?" She whispered to herself. She sighed, "At least they made it that far."

"What did you say?" Ash asked when he heard Mallow whispering to herself.

"Oh nothing." Mallow replied as she composed herself.

The raven haired teen raised an eyebrow, "What's with you and kissing today?"

His question was only answered to by some giggling. "Oooooh~ no reason." Mallow playfully said.

Ash kept his glare on at the green haired girl before turning back to the rest. Lana turned her head when she saw Ash look at her way while Lillie just stayed silent after hearing what her crush has revealed.

"Well it's my turn then," He said before thinking who to pick. "Well it's been a while since someone picked you. So Lana, truth or dare?"

The blue haired girl took a deep breath to control her heart rate.

"T-truth."

"Boo~" Mallow commented, mimicking an audience.

Ash thought his blue haired classmate has suffered enough, so he went with something easy.

"Other than water-types, what kind of Pokémon do you like?"

"Any Pokémon that comes from the Ocean." Lana answered with a smile.

"Uhhh, I said that are not water-types." Ash reminded with a raised eyebrow.

"There are Pokémon who live in the ocean who are also not water-type, Ash." Lillie informed which surprised the trainer from a faraway region.

"Really?" Ash asked. Lillie just nodded her head.

"Yes, I heard a Pokémon called a Skrelp and its evolution lived in the ocean and are Posion-Dragon types. You won't find them here in Alola, though. I forgot which region they come from, but they are only found there and nowhere else."

Ash just smiled at the bookworm. "Wow. Lillie, you're so smart."

Lillie gasp lightly as her face blush brightly. "Th-thanks, Ash. You really don't need to tell me that every time I saying something so trivial."

"I'm just saying what's true." His words only made her blush deeper.

Mallow smirked at the small exchange before looking at Lana and winked at her. The water Pokémon lover winked back. Unfortunately for Ash, he did not notice it.

"Lillie?" Lana called which got her attention. "Truth or dare?"

The blonde bookworm was grateful for Lana for pulling her out of that conversation with Ash. She didn't know how long she could have last or else she would have fainted due to her blood rushing to her head.

"Dare." Lillie challenged, only because Lana is not crazy as Mallow when she plays the game.

However, Mallow was just smiling like the Cheshire Cat within her own mind, "Just as I expected."

"Okay..." Lana pretended to think. "I dare you...to close your eyes for the remainder of the game."

"Huh?" Lillie said, thinking the dare was so random. She shuts her eyes, "Okay. So what happens if I opened them before the game ends?"

"Then I'll punish you with another dare." Lana threatened, which was cute since she could not pull off a menacing face without having something provoking her.

Ash raised an eyebrow. Something was going, he just feels it in his gut. He shrugged before turning to Mallow.

"Well since Lillie's stuck doing a dare, does that mean you or me have to take her turn?"

His answer was being shoved by the chef. He fell right on top of... Lillie.

The blonde gave a yelp as an 'unknown' object rammed into, making her fell on her back and the thing that rammed her to be on top. Opening up her eyes, Lillie saw the chocolate brown eyes of...Ash Ketchum.

"A-A-A-A-Ash!?"

It only took the raven haired to process what was going on. "They...they planned this!"

"Oh! Look, Lana. Lillie has her eyes and the game is not even done yet." Mallow jokingly acted. She took a moment to laugh, "You know what that mean."

Lana laughed with her, "Ooooh~ Lillie, I dare you..." Mallow mimicked a drum roll with her fingers. "To kiss Ash!"

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAT!?"

"You have to!" Mallow reminded her. "After all, you know the rules. Fail to complete a dare or answer a truth, you have to kiss someone of the challenger's choosing."

"And I choose Ash if you fail to do your dare!" Lana manages to laugh out.

In the end and due to the rules, Ash and Lillie ended up kissing on the lips. For the rest of the night, the two ignored their cunning friends, who were still in the living room with Kiawe and Sophocles still traumatized in the corners.

"Well I believe our mission was a success. Don't you think, Lana?"

Lana giggled as she shows her a photo, "What do you think?"

The photo was their dared friend kissing her crush.

Mallow admired the photo, "I have to say, things went better than I thought."

"Indeed, I never knew Ash was a good kisser." Lana just realized what she just said. "Not that I kissed him on the lips!"

"I know, Lana. I know."

It took a moment before Lillie completed her dare and then some. Once the two interlocked heir lips, they swear that they heard moaning. It really surprised the chef and water-type lover, especially on the duration of the kiss. They did not how long it would last, so they decided to quickly take a picture to commemorate the moment and to embarrass the two even more.

"Are we horrible people, Mallow?"

She scoffs as she continued to admire the photo, "I don't feel horrible. In fact, I feel great!"

Kiawe and Sophocles beg to differ from their corners.
