Suddenly in the midst of a Summer Festival--
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.

"Hehe, at least we wouldn't have to worry about finding a place to stay!" And he just smiled. Not that it's a big issue, Ash didn't mind roughing it out when there's no where else to go anyway.
"Oh right!" His puts his fist over his palm as a thought occurred to him. "I better tell Lillie about this place too!"
He'll keep note of that when they meet again later.

That was abput all Trip managed. Oh, well, time to just accept the futility of protest. He could stay for a night, then sneakily book a hotel room tomorrow.
“Lillie? Is she someone from our world too? … is she that girl with the sunhat?” … who was repeatedly losing it to the sea breeze, but he had just enough sense to know he shouldn’t say that.
It’s too late for him, but maybe he can work up enough courage to say something for her sake.
“Don’t get carried away, maybe she’s got other plans… or reservations. Don’t impose, alright?”
He handled that pretty well, having the time to plan ahead how to respond! Now, if only that came to him earlier… oh, well, plenty of time to make up for lost time learning to interact with other kids! Maybe…
[2/2; ~Lillie Interlude~]
We didn’t pack for travel, Snowy! So I should probably go shopping for clothes later… ah, and Pokemon food, an—
Ah…
[She sneezed, hurriedly, into a paper napkin.]
… e-excuse me!
[
Lillie is nowhere near, so this concludes our ~Lillie Interlude~, back to the boys!]no subject
And maybe ask if she's found someplace to stay. Though that's for when they meet again. At least he has a phone now, making it easy to reach out to friends.
"But yeah, Lillie's from our world too. She's a good friend and classmate at the school I used to attend to back when I stayed in Alola!" He followed his statement with a grin. "I did mention to you about her earlier!"

Oh, he did? It must have slipped his mind in the midst of everything.
"Oh, yeah, I think you said something like that... I wonder if there's any special reason for drawing in different people from different regions at the same time... the other new arrivals I met all came from different regions too. I wonder if there's a pattern."
no subject
Well at least Ash is aware of it now.
"Hmmm, maybe they all have a Pokemon with them?" He then folded his arms. He has his team, Trip also brought his own Pokemon, and Lillie has Snowy, so that might be it? "...Though I dunno what other reasons are there."
There's just not enough clues to go by.
"At any rate, we'll definitely figure out why at some point!" And puts up his usual trademark carefree smile.

“Yeah, you totally do.”
Then, on a lighter note, “It’s alright, getting carried away trying to help others sounds just like you.”
Witness Trip, trying to be nice.2/2; oof, sorry for the delay!
Trip looked thoughtful and serious a moment, but Ash’s expectedly carefree interrupted his train of thought, but rather than react with annoyance or even exasperated acceptance… he yawned.
“… sorry, I guess all that talk about where to stay’s got me tired.”
Or meeting others here in the same situation, as well as Ash being this carefree about it with similar previous experiences, has just that calming and reassuring an effect!
Or his brain just gave up trying to figure out Ash’s logic, as a meaner Trip would claim… a pretty big turnaround for someone who was utterly convinced he was going to be eaten by fairies or something earlier, at any rate!No problemo!!
"Hey now, I couldn't just turn a blind eye if someone asks for help y'know!"
And then Ash took notice of Trip yawning.
"Is that so? Well how about you go ahead and take a break?" Ash suggested, "I still wanna look around anyway. Plus I promised Lillie I'd go meet her again later!"
He then adjusted the straps of his backpack before beaming at his friend. He still looks full of energy it seems.
"Tell Mr. Larson I'll be off for now!" Ash said as he started walking away and waved at Trip.
[sorry for the looong delay! It can end here unless we're gonna have a one-on-one with Larson ^^]
And off Ash went again, as energetic as ever!
Trip, smiling rather ironically, waved back, but his voice had a warm fondness to it when he replied, "Yeah, I will. See you."
He would only rest for a little while, too uneasy or excited to sleep for long, but there was still more to explore afterwards anyway and the festival might give him some interesting information too! For now, he waited for Larson to return, inching a bit closer to Doduo to watch how it worked in Larson's stead, as he waited to deliver Ash's message.
