Floaroma Town, the harvest festival.
Though Floaroma Town was not particularly prosperous, its harvest festival had a charm all its own.
The harvest festival included battles, but neither Li Wei nor Steven had any intention of stepping in to crush the amateurs.
Mainly because Jirachi did not want to battle.
Otherwise, Steven would have jumped in at a moment's notice.
That afternoon, Li Wei and Steven went to Floaroma Town's sea of flowers together to find Shaymin's kin.
Jirachi made a few new friends, too.
That evening, Li Wei, Steven, and Granny Mijun ate together at the market.
"Eat more, eat more."
Granny Mijun fully embodied the spirit of a grandmother worried that the children might go hungry, continually adding food to Jirachi's and Diancie's plates.
Shaymin ate only Grass Dumplings and Berries.
Nothing else.
Granny Mijun said cheerfully, "You must stay for the evening. That's when the real fun begins."
The harvest festival's most famous attraction was undoubtedly its parade float performances.
The parade used enormous floats, with people and Pokémon performing together on their stages.
The style was somewhat similar to a Pokémon Contest performance.
Granny Mijun parted ways with them. "But this old woman has been walking around all day. I'm going home to watch."
"We'll walk you home."
Granny Mijun waved her hands. "No, no, it's only a few steps away. You keep having fun."
"Lucario, please walk her home for me."
Lucario nodded. "Luca!"
"Far, far!"
(I want to go, too!)
Lucario and Farfetch'd stayed on either side of Granny Mijun and escorted her home.
Before long, Lucario and Farfetch'd returned.
(Delivered safely.)
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Come on, let's find somewhere to watch the parade."
Boom, boom, boom-
Brilliant fireworks soared into the sky one after another.
"So pretty!"
Sitting on Steven's shoulder,
