Cosplay: Matcha Mood Festival

Me: Well, here's that thing I said I'd get to, with us.

Goh: OK, so it was really a festival. It said so.

Ash: Matcha - all about green tea.

Goh: I can tell it was all about food and drinks.

Ash: Yeah! It was all food stands. 

Pikachu: Pi pika chu pika! ["All delicious!"] 

Goh: But you probably didn't get much of that. 

Ash: I was about to - but then I stopped and thought about our friend.

Me: Looks like it was a good thought, because a few days later I needed something else.

Goh: Maybe you can get some of the stuff from somewhere else.

Me: That's a thought. That might just happen.

Ash: And it goes back to you!

Goh: So, how did characters fit in? 

Ash: There was a character parade... but I wasn't in it.

Me: You'd have to pay... and then there was still Community Day to deal with.

Ash: Yeah, it was near the end of it, so...

Pikachu: Chu pika... ["Conflicting..."] 

Me: There you go, so it would have been hard to make time.

Ash: And all the winners were really spiffy!

Goh: OK, so you might not have had a chance after all. 

Me: That was my thought, so Community Day is (and was) the better option and call.

Ash: And that was after Dynamax Lugia with our friend's other friends - the day before too, before the other festival.

Goh: Oh! Dynamax Lugia. That sounds really amazing. And two days in a row!

Me: It has to be. Like I said, I'll have more on this later.

Ash: I met more of our friend's friends at the festival and spent the day with them. I even met someone who we haven't met in a long time!

Goh: Hey, that was pretty nice!

Pikachu: Pika pika. ["Very nice."] 

Me: All good for today - or from what I hear, mostly.

Ash: There was actually another festival, wasn't it? I also heard from some your other friends

Goh: Oh, that's news to me too.

Me: There was, but that one was a little far away and might not have been worth it, by its content and the weather.

Goh: If I were to take a guess, it would be because it's all dance groups, and it could rain if you had gone there.

Me: That would be it.

Ash: So the tea festival won out! There was a lot more people here.

Goh: I'd say so too.

Pikachu: Pika. ["Same."] 

Me: Like the name of this festival, I guess things depended on what we are (were) in the mood for.

Goh: I guess for us, that would be Pokémon, lots of good friends, and good stuff to take in.

Ash: I can definitely have some tea for what I missed.

Goh: Count me in!

Ash: I'll arrange something very soon for that - and of course for festivals and conventions to come. Trust me, you'll really need it.
