(@ask-pokecats) Paula both approach two strange Shaymins. She takes a peak at them and makes a bit worried face.

"Urf...hello hello! How are you? I-I think you're going to have fun here, yea? Anyways, is the green one is...like me...an Umbreon?" she doesn't know that Shaythulu is a Shaymin.

Shaythulu shook its head vigorously, indicating it is not an Umbreon. It also seems it does not appreciate Paula addressing Cherry with the question instead of itself.

"We will forgive your faux pas this time, but do address us with more respect in the future. We are not creatures on display, we are guests, same as you. Please, treat us as such."

Cherry turned her attention back to Paula. "To answer your question, we are doing relatively well so far. I do hope the night ends up being a wonderful time. It's our first outing in some time."

(ShayminCafe) "Ahh, young couples in love, brings back fond memories, doesn't it, dear?" Cherry said to Shaythulu as they approached. Shaythulu nodded her head, saying something in return that comes across as a cacophony of whispers and distorted sounds, completely incomprehensible to most. "Ah, I don't know. Let me ask." Cherry turned her attention to Bella and smiled. "How long have you and Paula known each other? Have you been dating long?"

Paula is refusing to talk after seeing two Shaymins. Maybe because of the last time? Despite everything, she smiles.

Aww, purrrr! Pauls, please... Meow, don't mind her. Anyways, *ahem*. Not so long ago, about a few months or so, we've met at the Club Levicia where Trainers and Pokémon have invited to a party hosted by Iono and La Academia. Usually, felines and canines are being separated for safety reasons. However, when I dancing near the border...

And when I held her hand...

We felt love...love in first sight...together... It's still a mystery how we felt this...it's probably about our appearances or condemnation of species separation. Regardless, it's a great sign for us. Right, Pauls?

Paula nods.

Oh, it's also big J and Florian's great day too. They were also...well...let's say they're now best friends.

Bella and Paula both blush.

The sun is slowly setting.

"Oh my, well... at least you're alright?" Being crushed by a cosmoen didn't sound pleasant, but if the bad egg claimed they were fine, she wouldn't doubt them.

"We are probably a bit strange to most, though in the world we come from our appearances are nothing to bat an eye at. We are both Shaymin!"

(ShayminCafe) Shaythulu eyed the Bad Eye curiously, feeling an odd sort of kinship with the strange entity. She called out to Cherry, her voice coming across as a deluge of screams and whispers, drawing the other Shaymin over.

"Oh dear, that looks rather painful. Are you alright in there?" Cherry asked.

„I can’t really tell what Pokémon you are, you look very unique from everything I’ve seen… which isn’t a lot. Say maybe you are regular Pokémon I haven’t seen yet.“

[shaymincafe]

Shaythulu and Cherry have arrived at the Lantern Rite!

Ask Hints have been updated!

Ask them something?

[shaymincafe]

"Hmm, I see. Well, do try not to get too bogged down, then. You may not have come here willingly, but that does not mean you cannot at least attempt to have some fun while you are here. There's so many activities, after all."

(ShayminCafe) "Now you're a curious creature," Cherry mused as she approached Kane. "Are there any festivities like this where you are from? Or is this a wholly unique experience for you?"

“Well, I’m at a massive event with people and pokemon of all kinds all around me and I was brought here against my will.”

“So I’d say this is all pretty new for me.”

[shaymincafe]

Cherry narrowed her eyes and straightened her posture at Grey's scoff. As she spread her head and tail wings, a red glow began to emit from her eyes as a deep reverb began to echo in her voice.

"You will watch your tone with me, young Zorua. I know not who this princess you speak of is nor who you are that you think you can take such attitude with me, but rest assured, I do not take to it kindly."

Cherry leaned in closer to Grey and let out a low growl. "This is a warning. I would not like to ruin my sojourn with my girlfriend, but speak to me like that again and you will regret it."

Stepping back, Cherry folded her wings and allowed a cheerful expression to settle on her face once more. "Come along, Shaythulu," she said to her partner, "let us venture elsewhere."

(ShayminCafe) "Taking a break from it all to visit the festival? Any particular activities that you're eager to try out?" Cherry asked Grey.

"First, I have hove no idea what you're talking about, I'm free as the wind and do as I please. You must have mistaken me for some snobby princess." Grey scoffs. "I'm here because my little rival wanted to check out the food and check out the games here. And they wanted me to tag along." The Zorua took a moment to think. "Mouse and I decided to check out the mahjong booth, and then check out the dumpling booth when we get hungry."

[shaymincafe]

Cherry chuckled at Ogerpon's enthusiasm. "Thank you, dear. You don't need to ask us for tips. You are very pretty and cool yourself," she said with a wink.

Looking at Oki, Cherry offered a smile. "Well, I do hope it's a wonderful time then. Hopefully, I have not placed too much of a burden on you by suggesting such an event, but I'm glad to see it at least made Ogerpon excited."

(ShayminCafe) "What an adorable family," Cherry remarked. "You all appear to be far from home. I recognize a few of you as possible residents of Kitakami, yes? Do they have lantern festivals like this there too?" she asked Oki and Ogerpon.

Oki and Ogerpon showed a cheery look at the compliment.

Ogerpon: "You're pretty! And cool too! How'd you get so pretty...and cool?"

Oki: "You're right about us being from Kitakami! It doesn't take that long for us to get to Paldea from there, but it depends on how long you can walk for..!"

The mention of a new type of festival made Ogerpon's eyes starry. She was quick to dash over to where Wo was. Oki watched as she started to talk to him.

Ogerpon: "Papa Wo! Papa Wo! You gotta write down something I heard that's really cool!"

Wo: "What may that be, Ogerpon?"

Ogerpon: "The pretty and cool Pokemon over there said that Kitakami could have a lantern festival!" (she held onto Wo's vine and jumped a little in place) "Write it down, Papa Wo! Pleeeease!"

Wo: (he got one of his tablets out and began to write down what Ogerpon had said) "Alright, Ogerpon..~!" (he showed it to her, making the smaller Grass-type gasp and put her 'hands on her cheeks) "I can tell that there's not need to ask if you like it~"

Ogerpon: "Next time we go to Kitakami, we can show it to the humans there and they'll try it out!"

Wo: (he returned the tablet to his 'spiral') "We'll have to wait and see, Ogerpon~"

Oki turned his attention back to Cherry.

Oki: "There isn't one of those in Kitakami right now, but your suggestion has been noted! It is nice to meet you too!"

[shaymincafe]

"Well, I do hope you have a wonderful time then! Plenty of fun activities to partake in while you are here."

(ShayminCafe) Cherry surveyed Reborn as she drew closer. "Oh my, quite the interesting creature you are. Have you ever visited a festival like this before? Or is it your first time at such an event?"

Reborn gives a smile in response.

'Thank you!'

I don't think I've been to a festival like this 'Lantern Festival' before... It seems really nice, even if I don't understand much about it.'

[ask-pokecats]

As Paula got intimidated by Shaythulu, her tail stops wagging, and she starts to feel fear.

Once Cherry explained everything, she takes a look at Shaythulu and realized - maybe they aren't an Umbreon... Look at those creepy eye hands - she really thought they're ears with rings.

Whimper...I see I see... I'm sorry... I really hope y'all have fun tho, woof...

She unconfidentially smiles at both and leaves. She eventually calms down and back to her peppy self.

(@ask-pokecats) Paula both approach two strange Shaymins. She takes a peak at them and makes a bit worried face.

"Urf...hello hello! How are you? I-I think you're going to have fun here, yea? Anyways, is the green one is...like me...an Umbreon?" she doesn't know that Shaythulu is a Shaymin.

Cherry paused, gazing over all three individuals before bowing her head a little. "Apology accepted."

Shaythulu opened her mouth, saying something indecipherable to Cherry.

"Yes... I apologize as well. I was a bit overly harsh. When you live as long as I have, your tolerance for disrespect grows quite thin. It can lead to overreactions."

Cherry smiled at Grey. "I promise, I had no intentions of comparing you to this princess you speak of. I assumed you were an adventurer seeking a respite from your duties. Regardless, I do hope your time here is well spent."

(ShayminCafe) "Taking a break from it all to visit the festival? Any particular activities that you're eager to try out?" Cherry asked Grey.

"First, I have hove no idea what you're talking about, I'm free as the wind and do as I please. You must have mistaken me for some snobby princess." Grey scoffs.
