You could probably solo the whole league with a beast like that" he mused with a chuckle, blinking a few times as Carter pointed out all the festival processions, "Oh my, they seem to take this opening ceremony thing pretty seriously huh? It almost feels like a holiday" he mused as they walked hand in hand between the stalls and street performers, all of it adding a very festive feel to thing.<br/><br/>Nao smiled as Carter handed him his funnel cake, taking a quick bite to taste it. He had to admit funnel cake had never been his favorite, but this was actually pretty good, definitely different from the way they made it in Kalos. Of course that made the boy realize something, this was a region known for having pokemon from every region, but it was also attracting people from every region as well. Looking around he noticed upon closer inspection that all the different stalls and booths had very distinct styles and appearances, reflecting the vendors' native regions. The huge mix of different cultures that had all flocked here to form these new colonies were a marvel in of themselves, Nao taking a moment to snap a few pictures to document all the different peoples interacting and sharing their cultures.<br/><br/>Seeing Carter's buneary run off with his cake launched Nao into a fit of giggles, the blonde boy looking quite silly chasing the adorable bunny around. However before Carter could catch Nemu, he'd suddenly feel a hand grab his shoulder and spin him around, "say ah!" Nao cooed, pressing a piece of his own cake into Carter's mouth, his sugar coated finger briefly lingering on the boy's lips before pulling back and giving him a playful smile, "good no?" he teased, holding up the treat to Carter's lips, offering him another bite. At the same time his other hand was busy releasing Pagliacci and Snowball from their pokeballs, Nao bending down to split the remaining funnel cake between both of them after letting Carter take a few more bites, "here you go guys, a treat for fighting so hard back there" he cooed.<br/><br/>However while Nao had been casual about the sweets so far, had to protect that girlish figure, that all changed when he spotted the rainbow of icecream cones on display from a stand up ahead, "Oh my Arceus!" the boy exclaimed, rushing over in a flash, leaving both Carter and his own pokemon in the dust, "oh wow...so many different flavors..." Nao marveled as the impressive selection. Obviously there were the typical ones: vanilla, chocolate, oren berry, etc. but there were so many flavors he hadn't ever heard of using for ice cream before that it almost boggled the mind. One in particular caught his attention though, something called sea salt ice cream  (https://i.imgur.com/mHjmc5U.jpg), "woah...I wonder what<em>that</em>tastes like..." the boy mused, ordering it out of pure curiosity. Plus they were close to the sea, so it was probably extra fresh or something right? The boy was greeted by a beautiful swirling cone of icecream as blue as the sea itself, and he immediately rushed back over to Carter to show off his discover, "Carter Carter! Look at this ice cream. Isn't it so pretty?" Nao exclaimed, taking that moment to finally lean in and take a lick, his tastebuds hit with the most tantalizing combination of salty and sweet, "oh wow it actually tastes great too...here try some!" he urged, holding up the cone to his companion, the visual of them sharing an icecream cone no doubt adding to the idea that they were a couple.
