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.

Gold is grateful that Nami doesn't notice he's masking. He hides his feelings for a reason, and he definitely doesn't want to unload all his secrets to someone he's just met.

He takes a moment to appreciate the weather too, feeling the gentle sea breeze that keeps the sunlight from being oppressively hot. Yeah, it's a lovely day, probably perfect for a party. Though the reminder of the beach party has him feeling a bit anxious.

"Is the party starting soon? I kinda wanna leave before it starts. I wanna go explore the festival over there," he points at it. "It looks like fun."

He doesn't want to be rude, so he keeps his main reason for wanting to leave to himself: he doesn't want to get stuck awkwardly eating in the corner of a party, or meeting all of Nami's friends, however many there might be.

"Oh! It's going to start once one of my friends are here." Nami nodded to herself. She was tempted to insist that Gold stuck around, but he did seem eager to check out the festival. Who was she to stop him from exploring? Idly kicking at the sparkling sand, she turned her gaze to Gold. "That's right!"

Nami perked up while walking over the table to pick up one of the paper plates. She's placing some skewers, and berries onto it before carefully covering it with foil. Once done she turned right back around to hold the plate out to Gold.

"Here, take this! You can save it for later or eat it along the way. Who knows all that walking might make you hungry!"

Gold watches curiously as Nami gathers food. In the meantime, Gold's Pokemon, who also realized they'd be leaving, start stuffing food into their cheeks like hamsters, and also hiding some berries between Carn's flower petals as a team.

When Nami hands Gold the foil-covered plate, he's quite touched, somehow not having expected that at all. He takes the tinfoil-covered, slightly warm plate like it's fragile, and smiles.

"Thanks, Nami," he says softly.

He turns to his Pokemon, nods in approval as he sees them hoarding food, then gives Kannai a quick pet if he's allowed before waving to Nami.

"Hope we meet again!" he says, with a big, genuine smile. "Bye-bye!"
