You and Rei were having a friendly chat as you explained why the festival was going on. (Though he probably already knew.) It was because of your good deed of saving Hisui when Dialga went berserk, and you ended up using Palkia to stop it. As the festival went on, there were many sights: Cyllene smiling as she talked to Kamado, Professor Laventon taking pictures of literally anything, the music stand that Melli and Irida were singing ontop of (you thought they were, but couldn't tell over the sound of the drums), and- a shiny Vulpix near the gate! So when Rei walked off to go visit with the others, you took out a pokeball from your red festival satchel and ran after it, causing it to slightly jump before rushing off. As you chased it, you were tripping over things from time to time due to the wooden sandals you were given. It led you all over the place until it brought you back to Jubilife Village where it then ran into a crowd of people. As you ran into the crowd, apologizing for every time you bumped into something, you came to a halt into a corner between Galaxy Hall and a higher part of the ground, with no shiny Vulpix in sight. Just then, someone grabbed your hand from behind and brought you out from the alley and turned you around as he got to a clearing. It was Volo! Huh..odd, his hat was off and he had ears and a tail that was the same color of his blonde hair. He bowed and proceeded to stick out his hand, smiling at you kindly yet his uncovered grey eye was sly like he was asking you to dance.
