Me: Well, this will be a strange one.
Goh: What's strange? It looks like a festival on a typical day.
Me: I guess Ash will have to explain most everything now.
Ash: Um... I guess so.
Pikachu: Pika... ["Figures..."]
Me: Let's start with what you saw there.
Ash: Like you pointed out, it was a market.
Goh: What was sold there?
Ash: Lots of clothes! I think our friend would like them.
Me: Sure - if I wasn't sending you, and I had time and funds to pick things out, I'd walk away with some of them.
Goh: There must have been other things too, though.
Ash: Yeah! There was lots of merchandise too. I saw a few Pikachu figures that all of us would like.
Pikachu: Chu pika! ["They're perfect!"]
Goh: I can't disagree. Also, when I think of markets, there has to be something to eat for sale.
Ash: They sure did have that!
Goh: OK, great to hear. All that must have been lively.
Ash: You bet! It was almost like a convention - I guess it was, in a way.
Goh: Oh, so there must have been entertainment, like music groups.
Ash: I saw a dance group and the karaoke group.
Goh: Of course. And of course there had to be competitions, which our friend always deals with for you.
Ash: There were, but, um...
Goh: Right?
Ash: Um, well...
Goh: Right??
Me: Actually, I have to come clean and say, not this time.
Goh: OK, that's a whole new spin.
Pikachu: Pika chu pika. ["Very much so."]
Me: There are (were) actually two: a character parade and a character performance. And I wasn't able to make the commitment for Ash for either one. But in defense, I really wanted to.
Ash: We can do it next time.
Me: I actually did want to commit to the character performance since we haven't done it in a long time, the character parade from last week (plus the singing competition) went bust on us, and this kind of competition is hard to come by these days.
Goh: And you didn't because...
Me: Other stuff needed my attention, and then there was the raids.
Goh: I see.
Ash: What would you have had me done?
Me: Something with your Kanto and Johto outfit, which I sent you with today.
Ash: I think I got it... but I also know to keep it secret for now.
Me: Sure enough. Having said all that... I instead had you commit to raiding a few Shadow Lugia with my other friends in town.
Goh: Oh! That's intense.
Ash: Sure was! One of them was Shiny too. And I got a bonus perfect Uxie!
Goh: Really impressive! But OK, that means you must have come to the festival late.
Ash: Yeah. I got there at 5 PM, when all the competitions wrapped up and there was only the rest of the entertainment.
Goh: I see. And you didn't find out the winners.
Me: It's not like we needed to.
Goh: Good point. But then you must have met up with friends and got photos taken.
Ash: As usual.
Pikachu: Pi pika chu pi. ["That doesn't change."]
Goh: By the ray, where was this?
Ash: It was at the plaza where the other festival that we didn't want to support.
Goh: Oh, nice! So this one we can actually support.
Me: Especially since it's the team behind Community Base, Foodtopia, and so on that organized it, I've been told.
Ash: That's why it felt so great!
Goh: Well, I think Ash had a great day with the Lugia raids and this festival.
Me: Though I also think the festival could have used our input.
Ash: Like I said, try to get me in next time.
Goh: I'm with Ash on this one.
Me: I'll find a way, just like how ways were made with the raids and this festival. Anyway, things look very good - hopefully not strange - and that's how they should be.
