(< > Is the translation of pokemon's speech , [ ] is the pokedex and bold are thoughts)

Our heroes are still on the road to Azalea Town for Ash's second Johto badge. They decided to take a pitstop at a nearby lake, Ash polishing his Celebi's ball, the GS Ball.

"And all cleaned up. Oh! There's supposed to be a ritual tonight for the Wooper and Quagsire nearby. If I remain correctly, it's the Blue Moon Festi-"Ash was then interrupted by a shiny female Wooper approaching him, seeming excited.

<Hey Mr! Can I borrow that shiny ball please?! There's a special festival that I wanna be a part of! But I need something round!>
The Wooper explained, Ash thought about it. It would be impractical for Celebi's pokeball to go missing. Then again, he didn't wanna hurt the little one's feelings. He did remember about the festival.

Every Wooper and Quagsire let's an item float off to a river and waterfall, the items are usually round and a bit light like a small rock or a berry. Whatever reaches the lake side first, the owner of said item will gain great luck.
Ash thought it would be fun to participate in. And it would make Wooper happy.

"Alright Wooper, you can. But remember, afterwards, I will need it back."
The Wooper was very happy and didn't object to giving it back. It was only fair, seeing how the ball is his.
Ash's Celebi floats over.

"Hey Celebi, Wooper wants to borrow your ball for the Blue Moon festival. Is that okay?"
<It is, but please dont let it get damaged, okay?> Celebi answered, Wooper hopped up and down happily.
<I promise Ms!> Wooper exclaimed happily. Misty comes over.

"Hey Ash, Brock wants to-" Misty then sees the Wooper.
"Aww, a shiny Wooper! How cute!"
The Wooper was surprised by Misty's outburst, Ash flinching from said outburst.
"Misty, please keep it down." He asked, rubbing his right ear.
"R-right, sorry." Misty then continues with "Anyways, Brock wants to know where he can get Lum Berries, since we're out of status medicines."

Ash pulls out four plant pots with plastic see-through lids, one of which has a plant full of Lum Berries.
"Before I started my journey in Kanto, I ordered these Berry Pots and some berry seeds. I figured they would be useful. And it looks like the Lum Berries are ready." He explains, plucking the berries, the plant withering away right after. In total, there are fifteen Lum Berries and he hands them to Misty, all except one.

"He can have those, I need this one to replant for more Lum Berries." Ash explained, Misty nods at this.
"Thanks Ash! Oh yeah, time to catch that Wooper!"
The Wooper huddles to Ash, protesting and finding one of Ash's empty pokeballs, tapping the button.

Shake...
Shake...
Shake...

Click! Wooper was caught!
Ash was surprised and let's out Wooper.
<Sorry Mr, but I wanna travel with you after the festival! Is that okay?>
Ash was still perplexed, but nods, agreeing to it, pets Wooper, and looks at her dex entry.

Ash smiles a bit. "Not a bad move pool at all. We should get you to learn an ice type attack for grass types."
Wooper nods at this.
At night, Ash and the pokemon goes to the start of the start for the festival, and he sees an Azurill, Hoppip, and Sunkern, all female and were playing happily, Wooper approaches them, having a conversation, and the four of them approaches Ash, Pikachu, Eevee, and Celebi.
