Ash had new appreciation for music as of late, between the Dugtrio music group, and others. And when music rang out across the local area, he stopped and listened. Being attuned to the sensitive nature of things and being literally who he was, he noticed the two fairy-like people next to Utau with interest. Pokemon? No, more like spirits of some kind.

He listened in for a while, politely watching as Pikachu tilted his head curiously. They would definitely tip her later if she was busking.
