September 8.
Jubilife Pokémon Theme Park.
The first day of the Water Balloon Music Festival was drawing to a close.
But the smaller water gun battles had never stopped.
Sirfetch'd was like an elegant knight on the watery battlefield,
its signature leek blade standing straight as a knight's lance, its green leek shield looking especially vibrant.
Facing jets of water from every direction, Sirfetch'd displayed astonishing reflexes and skill.
It swung its leek blade, parrying with a fencer's precision!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The jets struck the tough leek stalk, sending water splashing everywhere, but hardly any made it past its defenses.
Sirfetch'd moved with grace and precision, as though performing a sword dance amid the water.
It had Ash shouting, "That's freaking awesome!"
"I'm definitely going to catch a Sirfetch'd someday!"
Sirfetch'd continued to uphold its chivalrous spirit,
occasionally protecting weaker participants who were being ganged up on.
For instance, it stepped in front of Alice to block a volley of water gun fire for her, then gave a slight nod, every inch a knight.
"Quack!"

Just as the Water Balloon Music Festival had opened with music,
it also had a closing performance, courtesy of Diancie.
With DJ Elesa and Roxie accompanying it, this would be the Water Balloon Music Festival's final flourish.
The spotlights converged, creating a mysterious, dreamlike atmosphere.
Thirty Carbink hopped onto the stage, arranging themselves neatly around its edges.
The diamonds on their bodies began glowing softly in unison, like stars lighting up the night sky!
The music of Oración played once more.
Even the rock-loving Roxie quieted down at that moment, gently playing her bass.
To the soft melody, they began spinning in unison.
The diamonds on the Carbink refracted multicolored spots of light across the audience, like a gentle shower of diamond
