Oshawott once again was riding the road as he headed to his next destination: Meiwa in Mie. More specifically, the Saiku palace complex.
In the days of the Heian period of Japan, this place was home to the Saio, an unmarried imperial princess who served on behalf to the emperor at Ise Shrine, the place said to house Amaterasu. Now this building serves as a museum of sorts. It is here that Oshawott hopes to find some secret to meeting with the actual deity himself.
"Hmm…no clues to report here but…" Oshawott said as he heard some clamoring further ahead. "Huh?"
He continued on further ahead only to see a number of Grass and Fairy Pokemon in the main hall.
"Whoa…what's all this?" Oshawott asked a Bounsweet.
"Its a special performance from Lady Florges." Bounsweet replied. "In anticipation for Uta's performance soon."
"Oh!" Oshawott said as he sat down as a Yellow Florges soon took to the stage.
(Cue: Homura from LiSA)
"Goodbye" and "Thank you" at the top of my voice
What's more important than grief
Hoping that they reach you as we part
In time for the warmth and pain
I thought it would always be like this
I envisioned our days to come
Why, when our lights calling out to each other
Still burn deep in our hearts?
We met amidst a blazing journey
Coming together, then letting go for the sake of the future
Every time a dream comes true, I'll remember you
Wishing to become stronger
I cried with my resolve as the parting gift
Held captive by nostalgic memories
Wailing at the cruelty of this world
There will be even more as I grow older
I never want to lose anything again
By succumbing to the grief
I might not feel pain anymore
But your words
Your wishes
I swore to protect them to the end
With a roar, it's crumbling down
Our one and only, irreplaceable world
The bundle of bursting light that I reached out for and held so close
Shimmered, then disappeared for the sake of the future
Going beyond the happiness and promises I've been entrusted
I'll keep moving forward without glancing behind
Looking straight ahead, I'm going to cry out
Lighting the flames in my heart
Until I reach that distant future…
(End Song)
"Wow…" Oshawott said tearing up upon hearing such a song as he jumped with the Bounsweet.
"Oh…it seems we have a celebrity in the audience." Florges said looking to Oshawott. "The brave face of Mie and the one who took down the Otter."
The Pokemon in the audience oohed and awed upon looking at him.
"Well…it wasn't that big a deal." Oshawott chuckled. "Oh! Hey, you wanna join us at Ginhana Sky? We could use more entertainer Pokemon like you." Oshawott smiled as he surprised the audience.
"My…such an honor. Hmm…I'll accept on one condition." Florges said. "I get to create a garden of yellow flowers in this Paradise of yours…and that you'll eventually recruit my sisters one day too."
"Well…that sounds like a tall order but…okay." Oshawott said.
"Wait, I wanna join too. You can't hog lady Florges's singing to yourself.' Bounsweet said.
"Okay…that's fair." Oshawott said as the lights went dark.
"Oh…its time for Miss Uta's concert!" Bounsweet said.
"Oh. I live her songs." Oshawott smiled. However, once Uta's song started, all the Pokemon in the hall soon fell into a deep slumber.
