Ash: What's the theme this year?
Me: The theme this year is a fairytale, about a pair of lovers separated by a vast space and can only meet one day a year. It's a bit sad, just like a recent experience I had.
Pikachu: Pi... pika pika. ["Oh, I see."]
Ash: I guess we need this one, huh?
Me: Yeah, we really need it. I know it's a bit standard from year to year, but it's in an important place for many people, even me. So I always hope for different things.
Ash: Like what?
Me: In the past, there had been character performance competitions here, but recently, it's only been the parade.
Ash: Yeah, there's still one. I got in.
Me: That's great! I thought I was going to have problems getting you in, but it turned out OK.
Brock: Can you help me out with a game from my friend and your friends?
Ash: Sure! Oh yeah, we're all supposed to meet today! But where's May? And Misty?
Norman: I'm sorry, May went on a trip and she couldn't come back in time. Max is in a pinch.
Brock: Yeah, and Misty told me she had to watch the Gym.
Psyduck: Psyduck psy! ["That's right!"]
Ash: I guess we did OK with who we have. I still wish we could all be together.
Brock: Maybe it'll happen sometime.
Me: By the way, anything really different this year?
Ash: The stage is really big! It was so big for the bands and characters. But a few things seemed to be delayed, so it felt off.
Me: That seems to always happen somehow.
Ash: But everything was good, though! They looked a lot neater than in the years before.
Me: That must be a good thing, for at least they're doing something right.
Pikachu: Pi pika pika. ["I'd say."]
Me: OK, that just leaves the results for the parade. How'd things go?
Ash: No win, sorry. And this is the Hoenn outfit that you sent me with.
Me: Maybe the magic wore off a bit. That's OK, there will be other times. You know, I think this was still a good day regardless.
Ash: I guess you're right.
Pikachu: Pika pika pi. ["I guess so."]
Me: I'm sure we're in for good times ahead, no matter what.
