Cosplay: Uchiwa no Michi + DakFest Photo Shoot

Me: Well, since there was a seasonal transition on Saturday and Sunday, those had to come first - so we're talking about this (these) not on the day.

Ash: I get that.

Goh: Totally makes sense.

Pikachu: Pi! ["OK!"]

Me: So, on Saturday, there was a mini festival, which was...

Ash: ...at the "Community Base" mall!

Goh: Oh, interesting. So, not something full by them.

Ash: Yeah, it started in the late afternoon.

Goh: I'm guessing there wasn't much in the way of entertainment.

Ash: No, just one band and four dance groups.

Goh: That's nice. But then there must have been a character parade if our friend sent you.

Ash: Oh sure! But I wasn't in it.

Goh: Um... Our friend?

Me: Well, did you see the parade?

Ash: All of it. I got a nice view.

Pikachu: Pika chu pika. ["We saw them all."]

Me: And I'm sure you could tell who was going to win and who wasn't.

Ash: Yeah - I got almost all of them. And we all know each other.

Goh: I see. So, it wasn't going to happen for Ash.

Me: That's pretty much the case. And I'd rather not surrender even a little bit of cash for that at the moment.

Goh: I know you wouldn't. But the rest was really a festival, right?

Ash: It was. A few food and goodies stands - but I didn't go through them too much.

Goh: I guess this festival was still a success for at least some people.

Me: That's important, even if not for us. Although... the meaning of its title ("inner circle") might be somewhat ominous.

Goh: Tell us about it. What about Sunday, yesterday?

Me: Oh, that's different. No festival or convention - just an afternoon photo shoot.

Ash: But I got to it really late. I battled G-Max Rillaboom first with your friends.

Goh: Wow!! Fully evolved Grookey!

Pikachu: Pi, pika chu? ["Nice, isn't it?"]

Me: I knew you'd like that.

Ash: But yeah, it took half of the afternoon. So I was late to the photo shoot.

Goh: Were our friend's friends there?

Ash: A few, even ones from the other day. But almost all the characters wore some kind of armor...

Me: Oh, I forgot to mention. The photo shoot was actually somewhat focused on that, so I didn't want to commit Ash for that right away.

Goh: And then there was the G-Max battle, so I get you.

Ash: So I didn't get photos taken. But meeting your friends again is enough.

Me: Sure. That's an important point even without photos. All the same...

Ash: Some of the people said there could be something like this in the future.

Goh: Will you get Ash in if that happens?

Me: As long as it's possible, definitely.

Ash: Great!

Pikachu: Pika! ["Great!"]

Me: Anyhow, last weekend was entertaining in some sense for both Pokémon and characters.

Goh: I could see it being improved for next time.

Me: Of course. And not necessarily packing everything in.

Ash: That would make for a really great time!

Me: With the seasons changing, there's always the possibility of good changes too.
