Goh: So today it's about the festival from yesterday and... there's another one?
Me: Yup. The second one is today. And... likewise it's actually interrupted by a Pokémon (Go) happening. But let's deal with them one at a time.
Ash: OK. Well, the one yesterday was by another place of study.
Me: It's not mine, but it's close by, and the students help organize it too.
Goh: I see "art" in the last three letters, reversed. Was there art - like an exhibition?
Ash: Oh yeah! There was an alley full of art. But I didn't go in there...
Goh: ...because you needed to pay?
Ash: Yeah, that's it. Plus the art looked like I could break it if I wasn't careful.
Pikachu: Pi~ka pika... ["Delicate..."]
Goh: If you didn't go in there, where did you go?
Ash: The food stands and the stage. A lot of people went there too.
Goh: OK, so I guess those were open-ish. So according to the schedule, there were just two character parades... two?
Me: Oh, let me try to clarify those. I think one was for everyone and the other was by students.
Ash: But I didn't see the second one, and for the first, everyone had a different music.
Me: Oh, so it's like a "semi-performance".
Ash: And... I guess that's why I couldn't sign up for it on the spot, huh. Someone told me the deadline for signing up was the day before.
Goh: I'll bet if Community Day Classic wasn't a factor, our friend would sign you up early on.
Me: Very much so. And I'd still have you with your special Kanto journey outfit, which you wore yesterday.
Ash: And today too!
Me: We'll get to that shortly.
Goh: Oh, and there were three dance acts... and that's it. The festival ended in the late afternoon.
Me: That's right. I got through them all.
Pikachu: Pika pika chu. ["Short but sweet."]
Me: So yesterday was "the Community Day that wasn't". As for today...
Ash: It was a festival in a coffee shop! I think it was by a community.
Goh: Interesting. They must have collaborated.
Ash: I think so. But I came really late - I battled G-Max Machamp first before going there.
Goh: Oh wow! I guess that answers what the interrupting Pokémon thing was.
Ash: I came in the middle of a dance group performance. I think it was most of the festival.
Me: Based on what I can find, I'm sure of that. And... I think you missed the character parade anyway, since it was in the middle of the battle.
Goh: Maybe Ash could never make it work anyway?
Me: I have reason to believe. Although, I'm not sure this would also apply to the one in the other festival.
Ash: I just met our friend's friends for the rest of the festival and enjoyed what was left of it - and a bit of the coffee shop too.
Me: That's always a good thing, even if I'm a bit cash-strapped nowadays.
Goh: Oh, I'm sorry. I hope it gets better for you.
Pikachu: Pika chu pika. ["Hopefully."]
Me: Thanks. Anyway, from what was had, yesterday and today were mostly normal runs of festivals but with some changes in settings as well as other Pokémon things going on.
Ash: It's almost like... "the weekend where everything happens"!
Me: We've had those from time to time, and from reports, some of my other (Pokémon) friends may feel it's the same way for this exact weekend.
Goh: At least you made things happen the best way you can, with Ash.
Ash: Sure. It was still a nice weekend.
Me: Whatever unusual things there may be just could be made up with (more of the) usual efforts.
