History

Mallow first appeared in Alola to New Adventure! while riding Tauros with her classmates Lana and Sophocles at the Pokémon School. She accidentally runs over Ash when he stumbles upon the school and, mistaking him for a new student, introduces him as such to her principal, Samson Oak. After the misunderstanding is cleared up, she decides to show Ash around the campus, introducing him to her teacher, Professor Kukui, along the way. She then witnesses Ash join Kiawe in a scuffle against some Team Skull Grunts, and is amazed by his and Pikachu's battle skills. Shortly after the battle, Ash sees the guardian deity Tapu Koko in the sky, but it flies off before Mallow and the other students can see it.
In The Guardian's Challenge!, once Ash formally enrolls in the school, Mallow sees the new Z-Ring given to him by Tapu Koko, and concludes that Ash had somehow gained the guardian's favor to receive it. The next day, Mallow throws Ash a surprise welcome party, acting as referee in a series of games between him and the other students. During a lunch break, Mallow and the others see Tapu Koko for the first time when it challenges Ash and Pikachu's worthiness of the Z-Ring.
Character
Mallow is an upbeat and friendly girl who gets along well with her classmates at the Pokémon School. She admits herself to be so energetic that she sometimes misses important details and jumps to the wrong conclusions. She is shown to have a firm sense of right and wrong, such as her distaste for Team Skull's bullying of other students. Much like Brock, Cilan and Clemont she is also a talented cook for both people and Pokémon, and is a self-proclaimed poster girl at her family's restaurant.
