Me: Um, OK. There are actually two theme events this weekend, but I can only send you to one of them. I hope that's OK with you.
Ash: Sure. I know you've got a lot to do, and I do too, in a way.
Pikachu: Pika! [with pep]
Me: Yeah, that's always the hard thing when that happens. So, this theme event is a community event by a faraway community, and the theme is "futuristic space cats", and of course Japanese stuff. It's rather odd, but it's well-meant. And that's why the title of the event is what it is.
Ash: I think I get your point. I've seen some pretty strange things on my journey, and this could be another one.
Pikachu: Pi! Pi pika pi! [concurring]
Me: So, the "pick one" thing is one reason. Another reason why I sent you here is because the competitions are still open. You know what you're in for, right?
Ash: Right! I'm in for the singing competition and character parade. You told me you really want to send me in for the first one, and here's a good chance. And you decided on the first opening song from Sinnoh for me, so that meant my outfit for that as well.
Me: Indeed. I'd like to try this one again, because last time, we got a good reception, but we didn't win. Plus, I'm kind of in a pinch. So let's try this one again before we try something else. How'd you do?
Ash: I got nothing, and I think I messed up a bit in both. That's the story.
Me: Hmm. Somehow something is not working out. We ought to just try something different next time.
Ash: Sounds like a good plan.
Pikachu: Pi! [excited]
Me: I agree. Now, the third reason I sent you in is to get me in touch with a special person. Did you?
Ash: I sure did!
Pikachu: Pika! [happy]
Me: Great! She informed me that she would come, and she did. It's good that you got me in touch with her.
Ash: By the way, she did something really special: she voiced me in the dubbing competition!
Me: Wait, what?? That IS special! How'd she do?
Ash: She won! Can you believe it?
Me: That's unbelievably impressive! It's good to know that she won. Anyway, I guess that's that about this event.
Ash: It wasn't all bad. You did what you needed to do, and that's great, even if we didn't win.
Pikachu: Pika. Pika pika. [complimenting]
Me: Agreed. There's just one more reason why I sent you to this one instead of the other, or even both.
Ash: What's that??
Me: The reason for that one lies in future posts on this blog. Stay tuned.
