Suddenly in the midst of a Summer Festival--

[ulternnpc]

 

There's a distinct sound of waves, and bustling of people nearby.

In the coastal city of Turnbloom the sun is bright and warm, and the scent of the sea wafts through with the cool gentle breeze that makes the glittering pinwheels spin, and the leaves on the palm tree dance.

Today the streets are extra decorated with these cute, colorful and floral shaped pinwheels. It seemed the people who were out in the streets were dressed in colorful summer attire--either casual, or the more traditional yukata. It seemed like with the booths were set out for both food and games for festival of some kind that was currently underway.

Just how did you get here, and why? A mystery, and it seemed the people in the streets didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary as they go about enjoying their time out on this bright sunny day.

Serena froze as she saw the Pikachu approach her, and then smiled when she heard it's voice. It could only be one Pikachu in particular!

"Pikachu!" she cried. "It's really you! Is Ash here...?"

[goingallout]

Pikachu nodded in response, and then immediately climbed onto Serena to cuddle as a way of greeting her. It's been a while!

A moment later, Ash who has been following behind his partner, arrived on scene and was surprised to find Pikachu alongside some very familiar faces.

"Serena!" He smiled. "You're here too!"

Ash then grinned and waved at Serena's Pokemon. "You guys as well! It's really been a while!"

[showcasestar]

Serena looked up, and...her face practically lit up. She smiled as wide as could be, and hurried to meet him in the middle. A bit too excited, aren't ya girl?

"Ash! You really are here!" she said, fondly.

Her Pokemon gave their trainer a knowing look, before crying out to Ash in greeting.

[goingallout]

As they're close enough, Pikachu hopped off of Serena's shoulder just to climb over Ash's again. He patted the Mouse Pokemon before shifting his attention to his friend.

"Well, not by choice..." He just laughs. "I guess you just got here in Ultern too huh?"

[showcasestar]

"That's right," Serena said with a nod. "Though I have no idea how it happened! One minute I'm in Hoenn, and the next..."

[goingallout]

"...You're suddenly here." Ash finished her line of thought, "I see."

So not even Serena knew how she got here either. It looked like that's what all his friends had in common. Ash crossed his arms as continued to speak.

"It's the same with me too. I was just training for my next match against Cynthia when all of a sudden... here I am!"

In a way, it's like deja vu for Ash.

[showcasestar]

"That's right!"

At his next comment, Serena's eyes widened and she gasped. "Oh no! The World Coronation Series! You can't miss that, can you?!"

Ash missing one of the most important battles of his life because he was stuck here...she didn't want that. Neither did Serena, even if it meant she got to see him again.

[goingallout]

It's true that his upcoming match was important, and it'd be outright awful if he missed out and possibly get disqualified because he got teleported elsewhere, but...

"Yeah, but you also got Contests to take part in too, don't you? Those are just as important!" Serena was also reaching out towards her dreams after all. "If you're gonna be the best Performer out there, then you can't miss out on them!"

Ash forced a smile, not wanting Serena to worry too much about him.

"So once we figure out how to get back, then I'm sure things will work out!"
