Me: And things go on.
Goh: Keeping things going, huh?
Me: Yeah. But actually, I also didn't want things to go on today.
Ash: Hey, that's not very usual of you! You must have a story for this one.
Pikachu: Pika chu pika! ["Do tell us!"]
Me: I do have that story. So, around the turn of last month, something apparently brewed in a festival I didn't send (and couldn't have sent) Ash to. It was regrettable, especially for the person in the middle of it, who I know well.
Goh: My guess is that the person is (was) present here as well.
Me: That's the gist of it, and I wasn't going to send Ash here myself. But then a friend offered to bring Ash here... and here you are.
Ash: Oh! It's in the same place as the MCP contest from last year. And I also have my Unova outfit too just like back then.
Goh: I guess that makes sense, since they both have "MCP" in their titles.
Me: And yes, the Unova outfit just happened to be the only thing I can get you to wear right now.
Ash: That's fine. So we'll just entertain people today, no problem.
Me: I don't expect you to be in the character parade, but...
Ash: The people put me into it just for fun.
Me: Oh. Well then, that should be exactly the point. Don't expect miracles, though.
Goh: Well, you know, I think I need to help you out with this discussion, so I got ahold of the schedule. And... there's a lot of little performances and games - is this by Bocchi Noizu?
Ash: Yeah, I think they helped to hold it. They had their famous wheel game too.
Goh: Maybe it isn't too bad. They tend to do their own thing, based on what we've seen.
Me: That's true - they are rather independent, with or without the person. So Ash could do the same.
Ash: I got a few pictures taken by some people. I even spent time with one of them.
Pikachu: Pi pika. ["Good stuff."]
Me: That's a nice way to fill time.
Goh: I'd agree. And I guess the performances were the same old, same old.
Ash: More or less - without me...
Goh: I guess you wanted to be up there.
Me: There'll be a better time for Ash. For now we lay low.
Goh: Well... I suppose we now can't really be talking much about the character parade.
Ash: I just did what I could do - maybe it's also a good practice for when another comes by. And that's all I can say.
Me: Yeah, no need to say more. But we need to say just a few more things before we close.
Ash: I think everything went well! It was really organized.
Pikachu: Pika chu. ["Very true."]
Goh: It's too bad we - mainly you two - had reservations about it.
Me: In another life, this could have been ours for the taking. But it is what it is.
Ash: Let's try again in another place!
Me: Of course, when we find one.
Goh: I hope that goes well for you two.
Me: For now, life goes on.
