Cosplay: Petstival Cosplay

Me: OK, we sorta have a full weekend ahead, and it begins with this one.

Ash: A festival! For characters. 

Goh: And... pets?

Me: Well, sure. Some people have Pokémon that are as pets more than anything else. Of course, this being a real pet festival, you'll see quite a few of them that resemble Pokémon.

Goh: Oh, but it has something for characters.

Me: Certainly, or I wouldn't be sending Ash. Speaking of, before going there, I need Ash to go and battle some really huge king crab with lots of other people.

Goh: Huge king crab... Gigantamax Kingler??

Me: Great guess - that's precisely it!

Goh: How many Trainers did it take? 

Ash: A lot! More than you think.

Pikachu: Pika... ["Big..."]

Ash: But we got it done easily. I only caught five, and they weren't too good or Shiny either...

Me: My regrets. I'll try to do something about that.

Ash: Luckily it was near the festival, and a friend helped me get there. 

Goh: So, what "pets" did you see there? 

Ash: Lots of reptiles! You know, the kind that would be like Kecleon, Snivy, Salandit, Sandaconda, and the like.

Me: All good descriptors. 

Ash: And then dogs, like Houndour and Yamper.

Goh: Awesome! But you didn't focus too much on them. 

Ash: Nope. Just on the character festival. 

Goh: So, how'd that go?

Ash: Great! They had singers, dancers, and games like a wheel game.

Goh: Wheel game? Oh, BN organized this. 

Ash: They did! 

Pikachu: Pika! ["Nice!"]

Me: Sure thing, and that meant you should have seen some familiar faces in the character parade.

Ash: I did! Glad to meet a lot of them again. 

Goh: Well, that should have been fun.

Ash: And it was free to get into the parade, so I could take it easy - and I used the lions - ehem, Pyroar - on the stage to help things out.

Goh: Interesting! Did you get something?

Ash: Judge Favorite - but just a goodie bag for that.

Me: I guess it works out - and hey, now I've got a few ideas for you in the future.

Ash: I can't wait to make them work out for you!

Me: Neither can I.

Goh: So after that, it was just a bunch of chatting with friends and the like.

Ash: Yeah - but it was a full day, as our friend said.

Pikachu: Pika. ["True."]

Goh: What did you think about it overall, though? 

Ash: I liked seeing all the creatures and getting to interact with them! And the festival idea was not half bad.

Goh: It didn't seem like they were using characters to get people to come? 

Ash: I guess people just had fun and they didn't care about that.

Goh: Then I guess we can say that it really did work out.

Me: Why not? I'd agree.

Ash: And what about tomorrow?

Me: Well, there's nothing specific to Pokémon planned out, so there's a character happening of some kind - but I think it's a different one.

Goh: I guess you're eyeing this one with Ash.

Me: Trust me, it's kind of important in some ways.
