Chapter 41: Duel with Tiexuan, Power BadgeChapter 41: Showdown with Wattson, the Dynamo Badge"What?! No way?! Ash, you actually caught a Jigglypuff!" (@@!!) Xiao Gang shouted. When it came to fear of the pink devil, Xiao Gang was definitely at the top of the list. Ever since he helped Jigglypuff recover its voice, this Jigglypuff had wiped out Xiao Gang's group countless times in Kanto!May asked curiously, "Ash, how did you resist Jigglypuff's hypnosis?"Ash had no choice but to explain that he had awakened the Aura. Everyone was greatly surprised, not expecting Ash to become an ability user. Ash told them, indicating his trust in them, and they decided they would keep his secret well.——————————Aiming for Mauville City, Ash's group successfully arrived!After arriving and first going to the Pokémon Centerfor their Pokemon to be checked, Ash's group then grandly rushed towards Mauville Gym. It had been a long time since he challenged a Gym, and Ash was still very excited.Ash and the others arrived at the Gym entrance. Ashgently pushed the large door, but it directly collapsed with a crash as if faking an injury. Ash's mouth twitched. The free roller coaster had arrived; this ride alone made the trip worthwhile.As soon as Ash and the others stepped onto the entrance, the mechanism activated, handles appeared on both sides, and then "Ah!!!!" the thrilling roller coaster began.After reaching the station, "That was fun! I didn't expect challenging a Gym to also have a free roller coaster." Max said excitedly.May, still shaken, said she would never ride a roller coaster again."That welcome method is really quite unique!" Xiao Gang said, calming himself down."It's not over yet!" Ash looked up ahead.♦(•'╻'• )꒳ᵒ꒳ᵎᵎᵎ "What?!" x3As a gate ahead opened, they saw a majestic Pokemon resembling a giant tiger blocking the way."Ah! Raikou!" Max exclaimed. This was a Legendary Pokemon!"That's fake, it's just a mechanical Raikou. But the craftsmanship is really exquisite, just like the real one." Ash said admiringly, looking at the Raikou in front of him."Huh~ Fake?!" Everyone knew Ash had awakened the Aura and could discern it, and it was unbelievable that a mere Electric-type Gym would have a Raikou!The mechanical Raikou fired a blast of electricity. "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt to hit it back." Ashquickly said."Pika~chu~" The yellow current dispersed Raikou's electricity and struck Raikou, causing it to explode!At this moment, a side door opened. "Hahaha! I'm so happy, so happy! I didn't expect my Raikou Robot No. 2 to be defeated so easily by you. Don't worry, I won't ask for compensation!" An old man with a white beard and a young man wearing glasses walked out, and it was the old man who spoke."Welcome everyone to Mauville Gym." The young man with glasses said."So, this is really..." May stopped halfway through speaking, silently thinking to herself: "Mauville Gym, not an amusement park!""That's right, I am the Gym Leader Wattson, and this is my assistant Watari!" Wattson introduced himself.Ash and the others also stepped forward to introduce themselves and explain their purpose."Excellent! It's been a long time since such a vibrant challenger like you appeared! Wonderful, wonderful! A child who is always smiling is most like Thunderbolt, hahahaha!" Wattson laughed heartily, then led Ash and the others to the battle arena."Now, the Mauville Gym Gym challenge is about to begin. The number of Pokemon used is limited to three. When all of one side's Pokemon are unable to battle, the match will end." Watari, acting as the referee, announced directly."I will use Voltorb, Magnemite, and Magneton to battle, because I've been with these guys for a long time." Wattson was very confident in his strength and directly announced his Pokemon.Ash was not to be outdone: "Then on my side, it's Phanpy, Lairon, and Pikachu. I also believe in my partners!"Wattson laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Haha good! I admire you, Ash!""Haha, alright, I'll start! Go, Magnemite!" Wattsonsent out Magnemite first.Ash nodded, "I choose you, Phanpy!"[Magnemite][Superior Later Stage]"Magnemite, use Swift!" Wattson held nothing back and initiated the attack first!"Phanpy, Stomp!" The ground wave collided with the stars! Boom!"Magnemite, use Confuse Ray!" Magnemitegathered a purple light and shot it towards Phanpy!"Phanpy, Dig to avoid it, then use Earth Power!" "Pao~" Phanpy dug a hole and hid inside, then emerged beneath Magnemite. With one Earth Power, a 4x super effective attack, Magnemiteactually held on."The Sturdy Ability activated!" Ash muttered."Haha, good, go! Magnemite, use Flash Cannon!" The silver beam attacked. Just then, "Pao pao~" a blue-white light of evolution emanated from Phanpy's body."Wow, it evolved!" May and Max exclaimed, surprised that it evolved during the match.Phanpy grew larger, growing two tusks, "Don~" Flash Cannon hit Donphan, but under its strong defense, it wasn't injured at all.[Donphan][Ability: Sand Veil][Strength: Superior Peak][Moves: Fire Fang, Thunder Fang, Earthquake, Sandstorm...]Ash smiled, finally waiting for this moment. "Alright! Go, Donphan, full power Earthquake!""Don~" Donphan stomped the ground. A powerful ground wave attacked Magnemite. Magnemitedidn't even react before being swept away."Magnemite is unable to battle, Donphan wins!""Haha~ Truly impressive. Next up, go, Voltorb."[Voltorb][Strength: Gym Leader Early Stage]"Come back, Donphan. I'll leave the rest to my other partners." Ash recalled Donphan. "Go, Lairon! Metal Sound!"Ash made the first move. An ear-piercing sound spread throughout the arena, lowering Voltorb's Special Defense."Voltorb, give 'em a Thunderbolt!" Finally able to use an Electric-type move, Wattson naturally wanted to use Thunderbolt to celebrate."Lairon, use Iron Defense to block it, then use Earth Power!" A silver shield appeared in front of Lairon, blocking the electricity. Its mouth gathered earthy yellow energy and shot it towards Voltorb."This time I have a trump card, Electromagnetic Levitation!" Voltorb generated magnetism from its electricity, floating into the air, making ground moves ineffective."Electromagnetic Levitation?! What kind of move is that!" May asked doubtfully."It's an Electric-type move that makes itself float in the air, making ground moves ineffective!" Xiao Gang explained.Max said speechlessly, "Princess, you really should read more books!""Ash, it's my turn to counterattack! Consecutive Electro Ball!" Voltorb continuously gathered three Electro Balls and rapidly attacked Lairon!"Lairon, charge straight through! Heavy Slam!" Silver light enveloped Lairon, breaking through the Electro Balls one by one. With a crash, it struck Voltorb, bang! Voltorb was defeated."Lairo~" Lairon panted, faint electric arcs flashed on its armor. Clearly, Voltorb's Static Ability had activated."Haha, thank you so much, Voltorb!" Wattsonrecalled Voltorb and sent out his last Pokemon—Magneton!"You come back and rest too! Lairon!" As expected, you can't underestimate any Gym Leader! You know, Lairon is a level higher than Voltorb."I choose you, Pikachu!" "Pika pi~" Pikachu entered the arena, electricity flashing on its cheeks.[Magneton][Strength: Gym Later Stage]"Thunderbolt!" x2Boom!!"Haha, Ash, you're really to my liking. Magneton, Lock-On!" A red circle locked onto Pikachu.Ash thought of something, "Pikachu, don't let it use that! Quick Attack plus Iron Tail!"Bang! Pikachu was extremely fast. Magneton was directly knocked away by Pikachu. Its Sturdy Ability activated, and the Lock-On effect was gone.Wattson looked at Pikachu seriously this time, a quasi-Tianwang Pikachu! "Magneton, use full power Triple Threat!""Pikachu, full power Thunderbolt!" "Pika~chu~"The three different colors collided with the yellow current, but were still overwhelmed by the current, hitting Magneton!"Magneton is unable to battle, Pikachu wins! The winner is Ash from Pallet Town!" Watari announced."Yay! Ash won!" Max and May cheered."Haha, Ash, this time I'm completely convinced of my loss!" Wattson walked over to Ash with a smile and handed him the badge, "This is proof that you defeated me, the Dynamo Badge!"Ash took the badge and held it up, "Great! I got the Dynamo Badge!" "Pika pi~"[Ding~ Obtained Dynamo Badge, Reward: 1000 points]To be continued...
Chapter 42 Abandoned Power Plant, Thunder BeastChapter 42: Abandoned Power Plant, ElectrikeAfter obtaining the Dynamo Badge, Ash and Wattson went to the Pokémon Center together to restore their Pokémon!As for May and Xiao Gang, after Ash finished the Gym Match, they went shopping in the large city of Mauville City. The resources here are very rich, and there are many delicious foods. Xiao Gang and Maycouldn't wait to leave as soon as they left the Gym, leaving Ash and Max alone again.After the treatment was completed, Ash went to exchange Pokémon again. He sent Donphan and Lairon back for self-training and sent Eevee back!As Ash walked out, Wattson stepped forward and patted Ash's shoulder, saying, "Ash, you're done exchanging!""Yes, it's done! Mr. Wattson!" Ash replied."Haha, Ash, how about going with me to an abandoned power plant on a small island on the outskirts of Mauville City? There are many Electric-type Pokémon there! I often go there for special training!" Wattson invited."Really?! That's great!" Ash exclaimed excitedly. "Pika Pi~" "Yeah! We can see many Electric-type Pokémon." Max was also very excited.——————————Wattson took the two to the abandoned power plant and found that it had become a world for Voltorb and Magnemite."The magnetic field here is very special! It might allow Nosepass to evolve into Probopass!" Ashexclaimed."Haha, it should be fine!"Wattson took the two on a tour of the abandoned power plant. Along the way, the Pokémon they saw were either Magnemite or Voltorb, which made Ashand the other person aesthetically fatigued. However, Pikachu really enjoyed the environment here."Ah~ why are they all Magnemite and Voltorb!" Maxsaid in disappointment.At this moment, a pale green puppy appeared before everyone's eyes—Electrike!"Wow! Electrike!" Max exclaimed, finally seeing something other than Magnemite and Voltorb!"Ah~ There's an Electrike here! Is it wild?" Wattsonalso exclaimed.Ash took out some Pokémon food and Electric-type Energy Cubes and handed them to Electrike, "Here, try it!""Woof!" Electrike ate happily and became much closer to Ash.Electrike, an Electric-type Pokémon proud of its speed, is something Ash really likes!"Electrike, let's have a capture battle!" Ash said."Woof!" Electrike looked at Ash with sharp eyes and accepted the challenge.[Electrike][Gender: Male][Type: Electric][Ability: Lightning Rod (Prioritizes taking Electric-type moves, is unaffected by Electric-type moves, and Special Attack increases when hit by an Electric-type move)][Strength: Superior Late Stage][Moves: Discharge, Crunch, Headbutt, Thunder Wave...][Dynamax Type: Electric]"Go, Corphish!" "Ah~ Ash is going to fight against the type!" Max exclaimed in surprise.Ash heard this and thought, you're still too green, let me show you what a reverse-type master is!Electrike released blue electric arcs and attacked Corphish, "Corphish, Swords Dance!"The swords around Corphish spun, dispersing the current and increasing its attack!"Swords Dance can be used like this too!" ⊙ω⊙ Max's eyes widened."Corphish, Shell Blade!" "Hehe!" Water blades surged from Corphish's claws, slashing Electrike!"Woof woof!" Electric arcs appeared around Electrike's mouth and attacked Corphish."It's Thunder Fang!" Wattson looked at Ash with envy, this Electrike is exceptionally talented!"Corphish, one-hit knockout Guillotine!" "Hehe!" The two Pokémon crossed paths in a flash."Woof!" Electrike fell first, losing its ability to battle!"Yosh! Go, Poké Ball!" Ash spun his hat and threw the Poké Ball, capturing it! Ash was full again.At this moment, Boom!! "Wahahaha, we'll take the Electric-type Pokémon here." The Team Rocket Trioarrived before everyone in a giant machine."It's you Team Rockets again!" Max pointed at Team Rockets and said."Since you sincerely... that's how it is, Meow!" "Wobbuffet~""Corphish, Crabhammer! Pikachu, Iron Tail!""Go, Seviper, Poison Tail!" "Go, Cacnea, ah! It's over there! Pin Missile!"Bang! Boom!"I'm here too! Go, Magneton, use Flash Cannon!" The old man didn't play fair and directly blasted the machine. Boom! The machine exploded!"What's going on! Meowth!" "Not enough budget, Meow! If it were Electric-type moves, it would definitely be fine, but they didn't use any of them, Meow!""Damn it, Seviper, Poison Tail, go!" "Pin Missile!""Pikachu, Thunderbolt! Corphish, Bubble Beam!"Boom! The current and bubbles struck them back, and then Team Rockets flew into the sky, "What a nasty feeling!" "Wobbuffet (˃ʍ˂)~"——————————"Ah! How cute, Electrike! Ash, you've already caught so many Pokémon, I only have two!" May said in disappointment.Electrike sat obediently on the ground, acting cute!"You've just started, after all. You need to be able to take care of your Pokémon, because Pokémon are our partners!" Ash said with a smile to comfort her."That's true!" May nodded.Next, the group began to discuss the next steps. They decided to go to Fallarbor Town first to participate in the Pokemon Contest, and then go to Lavaridge Town to challenge the Lavaridge Gym!However, Ash decided not to participate in this Akiba Conference. "Ah! What a pity, Ash, you're not participating. But, in that case, I'm definitely getting the Akiba ribbon badge!" May said excitedly.Ash and the others set off from Mauville City and entered the main theme, Forest, for their journey again! Along the way, Ash kept training Torchic. Ashdecided to let it participate in the next Gym Match. May's Torchic also trained along, and both Torchicsuccessively learned Flame Charge, which is a great move for Torchic. Moreover, Ash's Torchic advanced to the Ordinary Late Stage, which made May's Torchic feel a sense of danger; the junior had caught up to her!As for Jigglypuff, Ash's main goal now is to teach it to separate the Ordinary Sing and the Sing move. After continuous effort, Ash still had to ask the system for help and spent 5000 points to succeed.Ash and the others arrived at a watermelon field and met the watermelon grower, Natch. Ash had a double battle with him, using the combination of Torchic and Corphish against the combination of Slugma and Grovyle. Although it was a tough fight, they still won. Natch invited Ash and the others to drink watermelon.At this moment, they met the Team Rocket Trioagain, who were fantasizing about stealing watermelons to offer to Giovanni for a promotion. They were blasted into the sky by Ash and the others again. After bidding farewell to Natch, Ashand the others set off again.To be continued...
Chapter 43 Qi Ye's Wishing Star - Millennium CometChapter 43: The Wish-Granting Star of Seven Nights - Millennium CometAsh's group, heading towards Fallarbor Town, heard at the Pokémon Center that an amusement park was holding a festival at the most ideal spot nearby to observe the Millennium Comet.Ash and the others immediately decided to go join the fun, observe the Millennium Comet, and have a blast!Ash, who knew the plot well, quietly switched his main team at the Pokémon Center.(Ash's team: Pikachu, Tyranitar, Charizard, Pidgeot, Snorlax, Eevee, Jigglypuff)After getting a guide book at the Pokémon Center, Ash and the others rushed excitedly towards the festival venue.——————————In the evening, Ash's group arrived on a hillside. "Ah! Which one is the Millennium Comet?" [・_・?] May asked, looking up at the starry sky.Max said speechlessly, "Princess, you can only see the comet after tomorrow!""What's the big deal! I knew we shouldn't have rushed here!" (⋟﹏⋞) May said, disappointed."Xiao Gang, where is the place holding the festival?"Xiao Gang held the guide book and compared it carefully. "I think we should be close!"Afterwards, Ash and the others quickened their pace towards the destination and soon arrived at a desolate open space."There's nothing!" Max said in surprise.May said in disbelief, "Is it really here?"We haven't been tricked, have we! May and Maxthought to themselves.Xiao Gang looked at the guide book again and compared it carefully. "It shouldn't be wrong! That's strange!""Maybe we arrived too early, how about we eat first and then wait?" Ash suggested. "If not, we can rest early and still see the Millennium Comet tomorrow."Everyone had traveled a long way to get here and hadn't eaten dinner yet, so Xiao Gang started a fire and cooked. After eating and waiting for a while, Ash and the others began to sleep. Suddenly, the sound of engines came from afar!Everyone quickly looked over and saw trucks driving onto the open space."Ah! Great!" Seeing the arrival of these trucks, Maxsaid in surprise.Many staff members got off the trucks, and various entertainment facilities like roller coasters and Ferris wheels were set up... It was a mobile amusement park!Ash and the others quickly ran towards the amusement park, cheering at the sight of the numerous rides!Just then, two more vehicles arrived as the main attraction, and from one stepped a purple-haired man in a white tailcoat. The man carried a box, then put it down, took out a red handkerchief, and turned it into a black magic wand. The magic wand lightly tapped the box, which opened, and many pink elastic large balls were pulled out.Hopping towards the other vehicle, a woman in a red dress holding two red fans got out and fanned the large balls back. Then, eight pink elastic large balls exploded at designated positions, revealing interconnected rectangular devices that formed a circle, extending upwards. The top began to inflate, forming a large tent! This should be the magician's stage.When the first ray of morning sun shone here, the Millennium Comet festival venue was completely set up, attracting a large crowd. Ash and the others became the first guests here. The group split up to play. Ash took Pikachu, Eevee, and Jigglypuff to play on various rides, eat various snacks and ice cream, and had a great time.As the grand finale, Ash and the others sat in the large tent, ready to watch the magic show by the great magician Butler! He first lightly tapped his top hat with his magic wand, and Swablu actually flew out of the hat!For the next part of the magic show, Butler gently placed his hat on the table, raised his hands, and a Kirlia appeared. Butler then locked Kirlia in a box, covered it with a red cloth, and produced his magic wand. The tip emitted flames, and he brought the flames near the red cloth. After the red cloth caught fire, a pink smoke appeared out of nowhere. As the smoke gradually dispersed, Kirlia was nowhere to be seen, and in her place was a woman in a red dress holding a purple crystal. It was a magic trick to make a person appear, and a beautiful woman at that, making Xiao Gang drool!The woman held the purple crystal high, and it suddenly emitted a dazzling light. Everyone thought it was part of the show and started cheering, but Ash knew it was Jirachi!"Calling... me... Hear the voice of the stars!" Ash and Max were both stunned for a moment. Ash was stunned that he also heard the voice, while Max was purely surprised.Later, Butler and his female assistant Dianeintroduced themselves and began preparing for the next magic trick."Hear the voice of the stars? Who's talking?" Maxlooked up in surprise, glancing around.He happened to see the crystal in Diane's hand, and the voice came again, "It's me... Jirachi..."At this, Max immediately threw away the popcorn in his hand. Before Ash could stop him, Max had already climbed onto the stage, interrupting Butlerand Diane's performance!"Little brother, what's wrong?" Diane asked with concern.Max, without any pretense, pointed at the crystal and shouted, "I heard a voice, I really heard a voice!""Ah?!" Butler nodded towards Diane, as if confirming something. Their little actions were naturally detected by Ash, who had his Auraactivated all along.Then, Butler invited Max to Assist in the magic show, locked Max in a box, released Dusknoir to count to ten, and then used Hyper Beam to silence Max who had discovered the secret, cough cough! Of course, that's impossible.But this scared May and Xiao Gang, who had been envious of Max just a second ago! Fortunately, Maxreturned to Ash and the others safely in the end.Just as Butler announced the perfect end to the magic trick, a mechanical arm suddenly reached out towards Ash, intending to grab the Pikachu on Ash's shoulder. "Pikachu, jump up, Iron Tail to break it!" Ash immediately commanded.Pikachu jumped up, dodged the mechanical arm, and used Iron Tail to break it."Who is it?!" Butler was greatly surprised!They saw that it was the two clowns who had just helped Butler, riding in a hot air balloon. They removed their disguises and said, "Since you asked so sincerely... this is how it is, Meow!" "Wobbuffet~""Pikachu, Thunderbolt! Eevee, Swift! Jigglypuff, Dazzling Gleam!" Ash didn't waste words and immediately launched a full assault!"Pika~chu~" "Eevee~" "Jigglypuff~"Golden electric current, stars, and pink light waves quickly sent Team Rockets flying!"This feeling is so annoying!" "Wobbuffet (˃ʍ˂)~"With the assistance of Team Rockets and Max's initiation, Ash and the others also got to know Butler and Diane.Butler introduced the situation of Jirachi to Ash and the others: "It is said that Jirachi is a Pokemon that only wakes up once every thousand years to help people fulfill their wishes. Now it is sleeping inside here." And the crystal in Diane's hand was what Jirachi had transformed into!"Fulfill wishes?!" The group was greatly surprised!"It sounds so touching, only waking up once in a thousand years!" May, as a girl, was more sensitive!"Jirachi only comes out to the surface to be active for seven days within the appearance of the Millennium Comet! It is said that during that period, it will choose a pure-hearted young person who can protect it as a partner." Butler didn't hesitate to tell the secret to Ash and the others to gain their trust, but unfortunately, Ash didn't trust him!"Partner?! Me?" (⊙o⊙) Max pointed at himself in surprise."Does that mean Max was chosen?" May said unexpectedly, wondering why it wasn't her!Ash interrupted and asked, "Jirachi should be waking up tonight, right!""That's right, Jirachi must have a partner to wake up," Butler handed the crystal over. "So Max, you must become Jirachi's partner!""Okay, I understand." Max excitedly took the crystal. This was a Mythical Pokemon, something others couldn't even touch."Then I'll leave everything to you." Butler smiled slightly, looking meaningfully at Max and the crystal. Step one of the plan was successful!"No problem!" Poor Max was sold out and was foolishly counting money for someone else."Wow, is there really a Pokemon inside?" Maylooked at the crystal curiously, wanting to touch it, but Max immediately moved the crystal away, not letting May touch it!Angry, May bared her fangs and brandished her claws, wanting to teach Max a lesson. Just like that, the brother and sister chased and played with each other!To be continued...
Chapter 44: Seven Nights Wishing Star - JirachiChapter 44: Jirachi, the Wish MakerThe amusement park wasn't just for rides; it also had various vendors selling souvenirs! More and more people came to play, and it became even livelier at night.At this time, the various souvenirs dazzled May's eyes. "This is so cute!" May came to a stall and saw an ornament with seven stars linked together."That's a Millennium Comet amulet, the Wish-Fulfilling Star," the vendor exaggerated, specifically targeting simple people like May. "It's also called the Seven Nights' Wish Star. During the seven days when you can see the Millennium Comet, every night, quietly make a wish, fold it into a star, and by the end of the seven nights, your wish will definitely come true!"If this ornament could grant wishes, what would Jirachi's role be?(｡＞∀＜｡) But May was clearly fooled: "I want it, I want to buy this."The vendor had a little bit of conscience, and after selling it to May, he left himself an out: "It's not guaranteed! Hahaha, it will definitely come true."At this time, various beautiful Pokemon fireworks began to bloom in the starry sky - Pikachu, Torchic, and so on!Max was still holding the crystal: "Look! It's fireworks! Jirachi, it's beautiful, right!"It wasn't until late at night that the amusement park quieted down, and the lights were turned off one after another! Ash and the other three sat on a Mega Stone, waiting for the Millennium Comet to arrive. Just then, a gentle breeze blew, the clouds in the starry sky scattered, and a silver beam of light with a long tail appeared in the starry sky."That's the Millennium Comet!" May exclaimed. "Ah! I have to make a wish quickly."May quickly took out the Wish-Fulfilling Star, made a wish, and folded a petal with a star carved on it."Once every thousand years?! We really caught a good era!" Ash exclaimed. It should be said that Ash's protagonist halo is really amazing; as long as Ash is present, legendary Pokemon that only appear once in a thousand years all show up.At this time, the purple crystal in Max's arms suddenly emitted a dazzling light. "Star... the star is calling me..." This time, it wasn't just Ash and Maxwho heard it."Was that Jirachi's voice just now?" May asked in surprise. So she was a pure and innocent girl too!"It's telepathy! This is Jirachi's telepathy. It should be Jirachi waking up this time!" Ash said.At the same time, deep within Fauns in the distance, the Rock emitted a green light. The green light rushed out of Fauns, racing towards Ash and the others. Behind the green light, a figure chased after it. The green light finally converged on the purple crystal.In the eyes of Ash and the others, the crystal's light became increasingly dazzling, floating into the air, and many white lines extended within the white glow, slowly changing shape at the same time.After the white light faded, the crystal turned into a Mythical Pokemon that looked like a star, with a 'Wish Tag' on its head representing wishes - Jirachi!"Jirachi has awakened!" Ash said, and at the same time thought to himself, "The battle is about to begin!"[Jirachi][Type: Steel, Psychic][Ability: Serene Grace (Chance of secondary effects of moves x2)][Strength: Superior (Weakened, Superior level)]Jirachi floated down, the cloth covering its body unfolded and hung behind it, making it look very cute.Max quickly stepped forward to catch Jirachi. Jirachislowly opened its eyes in Max's arms, looking around in confusion."This is Jirachi! It's really cute!" May was captured on the spot!Everyone started introducing themselves to Jirachi.At this moment, Diane ran over, and after understanding the situation, invited Ash and the other three to Diane's RV, while Diane went to notify Butler!After Butler received the news, "This moment has finally arrived!" Madness flashed in his eyes, making Princess Diane feel very uneasy.As for Ash's side, "Jirachi, help me fulfill my wish!" Max looked at Jirachi with expectant little eyes!"Wish?" Jirachi was very confused.Just like that, Max made a truly childish wish - to have an endless supply of snacks. Jirachi closed its eyes, floated up, and the 'Wish Tag' on its head lit up.Bags of snacks appeared out of thin air, astonishing everyone. The wish really came true, and everyone entered a sea of snacks!More and more snacks appeared. Ash quickly stopped them, "Wait, Jirachi! Look at the labels on the snacks. These snacks are all from the amusement park, they were just transferred by Jirachi using telekinesis. We have to return these snacks.""Ah! No way!" Everyone was shocked. Xiao Gang looked closely and confirmed it was true. The few of them climbed out of the sea of snacks in disappointment. It turned out Jirachi didn't create them out of thin air, but was a transporter of nature.Max and May looked at Jirachi in disappointment. Jirachi innocently blinked its cute big eyes.Meanwhile, Butler and Diane ran over. "Oh my! Where's Jirachi?" Butler asked anxiously and nervously."It's here!" Max pointed at Jirachi, and Jirachi also happily said: "Here!""What did you do?" Diane asked in confusion, looking at the snacks around.Everyone had to explain the situation. Just when everyone didn't know what to do, Xiao Gang suddenly said: "Why don't we just have Jirachi send the things back to their original places!""Right! That's it, Jirachi, quickly restore things to their original state." Max said excitedly to Jirachi.Then, Jirachi closed its eyes again, the 'Wish Tag' on its head lit up, and it sent the snacks back."I feel so sleepy now..." After saying that, Jirachiclosed its eyes and fell asleep in Max's arms.(⋟﹏⋞) Max said disappointedly: "Is Jirachi going to sleep for another thousand years?"Butler explained: "It won't sleep for another thousand years until seven days later. This is just temporary rest after using its ability."Max breathed a sigh of relief, "That's, great!"The next day, Xiao Gang, who was rushing for love, came to ask Ash and May to help Butler and Diane, but unfortunately, Ash had already taken May to the amusement park early."Ash, is it really okay that we didn't tell Xiao Gang and the others that we ran off to the amusement park?" May asked worriedly."Knowing Xiao Gang, sigh~" Ash said as he walked, suddenly stopping. "Look there!"May followed Ash's gaze and saw Xiao Gang wearing a clown costume and handing out flyers."Ah! Thankfully, we left quickly, or we would have been finished!" May looked at Xiao Gang's appearance and patted her chest in relief. How could a beautiful day be spent on free labor! May no longer felt burdened!"Pika~" Pikachu imagined himself like that and shook his head in disbelief.At this moment, Max came over with Jirachi on his head: "Ah! Ash, Princess! You're here, Xiao Gang was just looking for you!" Hearing Max's words confirmed that Xiao Gang indeed had ill intentions. And Ash discovered that Jirachi had already recovered to the Gym level!The three of them had a fun day, while only Xiao Gang, who was working hard for love, handed out flyers all day.During dinner, Ash and May clearly felt Xiao Gang's overwhelming resentment. His resentful little eyes were fixed on the two of them, making them eat faster.After Butler's magic show ended, Ash and the others helped clean up the props. May was pushing a scaffold back to the backstage, but was tripped by a piece of wood. May quickly supported the scaffold, "Ah! Max, come quickly and help."Max quickly put down what he was holding and came to help May support the scaffold. The two of them pushed together, trying to straighten the scaffold. At this moment, Jirachi became playful, took off Max's glasses, and ran away. Maximmediately let go and chased after Jirachi.Poor May was left alone and couldn't hold up the scaffold anymore. Fortunately, Ash arrived in time and pulled up the scaffold."Phew! Thanks, Ash!" May breathed a sigh of relief."No problem!" Ash waved his hand!"Here... here...""Jirachi, give them back!"Max and Jirachi were still playing catch. Suddenly, Max's inner power erupted: "You can't escape, Jirachi, I got you!""Caught by Max!" Jirachi said happily.Max put on his glasses and looked at Jirachi angrily: "Let's see how I deal with you!""Wuwu~" Bang! Suddenly, the mirror was broken, and a Pokemon with pure white fur and a sickle-like horn on the right side of its head appeared behind the mirror!To be continued...
Chapter 45: Seven Nights Wishing Star - FiennesChapter 45: Jirachi: Wish Maker - Fauns"Ah! It's Absol," Max exclaimed.Absol's scythe-like horn emitted a Razor Wind. Maxquickly hugged Jirachi and ran to the side. Absolthrew out another Razor Wind, and Max quickly changed direction."Go, Jigglypuff, use Sing on Absol!" Ash, hearing the commotion, rushed over. Jigglypuff took out a microphone, and as expected, Absol was hypnotized. Jigglypuff smiled at it.After Ash helped it differentiate moves, he kept instilling new values in it, like how hypnotizing people when using the Sing move was the best performance.[Absol][Strength: Quasi-Heavenly King (Mid-Stage)]Butler saw Absol and said, "Legend says that's a Pokémon that only appears during disasters. How is it here?!""Absol, you're here to pick me up!" Jirachi suddenly said via telepathy.Everyone was startled. Absol was actually Jirachi's companion. Everyone decided to have a good talk with Absol after it woke up.Late at night, May and the other two gradually fell asleep. Only Ash knew that Butler would act tonight and kept waiting for him to fall into the trap and reveal his true colors!Soon after, Butler indeed crept into Ash and the others' room. Just as he was about to pick up Jirachinext to Max, "Great Magician Butler, what are you doing?" "Pika~" Ash and Pikachu stared at Butler!Everyone else also woke up, looking at Butler with confusion. Max held Jirachi tightly. After all, coming to steal Jirachi in the middle of the night couldn't be for good intentions!Butler was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Haha, I didn't expect you to find out! I didn't want to involve you, but since you're courting death, don't blame me for being impolite! However, how did you know it would be me?""Jirachi is from Fauns, and Jirachi said Absol came to pick it up. Then you, who obtained Jirachi's crystal..." Ash didn't finish, but the meaning was clear!"Haha, you're very smart, Ash! But you'll pay the price for your intelligence!" Butler laughed loudly, then muttered to himself, "I must let those Team Magma members who looked down on me know how powerful I am!""Team Magma! You're from Team Magma!" Everyone was shocked, ready for battle at any moment.Butler threw out a Poké Ball: "Dusknoir, use Psychic!"[Dusknoir][Strength: Quasi-Heavenly King Initial Stage]Dusknoir's eyes glowed red, attacking Ash and the others. "Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Electricity flashed, dispersing the red light.Just then, Diane rushed over and grabbed Butler. "Butler, please stop!""I can't give up now, I'll definitely succeed next time! Diane, believe me, it's just one step away." Butler's eyes were wild as he looked at Diane.Diane stopped him: "Please stop, I don't want you to do this!"Butler had no choice but to push Diane away and order, "Dusknoir, use Shadow Ball!""Oowoo woo~" A Razor Wind struck, scattering the dark purple Shadow Ball. It was the awakened Absol, glaring angrily at Butler!"Pikachu, Electro Ball!" A golden Electro Ballcondensed on Pikachu's tail and attacked Butler, while Absol also launched a Razor Wind! They struck in front of Butler and Dusknoir, kicking up a cloud of smoke!Seeing this, Diane wanted to lead Ash and the others away: "Everyone, follow me!" Ash and the others hesitated for a moment before following.Diane took Ash and the four of them to the car and drove away.In the car, Jirachi spoke: "I want to go back, I want to go back to Fauns!""Jirachi says it wants to go back to Fauns, right?" Diane, who was driving, asked upon hearing Jirachi's voice."Yes!" Everyone nodded."Fauns is where Butler found Jirachi. Butler used to be a scientist associated with Team Magma, and he wants to revive Groudon!" Diane explained Butler's identity and purpose."Groudon?" May and the other two were confused [・_・?]Ash didn't hide anything this time and explained: "Groudon is a Ground-type Continent Pokémon, appearing in mythology as the creator of the land. It's a legendary ancient Pokémon. It should be Team Magma's goal all along. The Team Magma we encountered before was probably looking for a place to awaken Groudon!""Yes! I didn't expect you to have already encountered Team Magma! Alas~ Butler, who failed his experiment, was expelled by Team Magma, but in the end, he found Jirachi in Fauns."Max naively thought Jirachi could grant wishes: "Does he want to ask Jirachi to grant his wish?"Diane shook her head and stated Butler's true purpose: "No, Butler's real goal is to use Jirachi to harness the enormous energy of the Millennium Comet. To awaken Jirachi, he needs its companion, the boy. He did touring magic shows just to wait for the boy to appear."Ash shook his head inwardly. How could he possibly create Groudon just by using the power of the Millennium Comet? Compared to Jirachi, Groudon is much more powerful. Jirachi only has great power but doesn't know how to use it!A few people looked at Max. That boy was indeed Max, but what everyone didn't know was that it wasn't just Max, but also Ash!"Miss Diane, how long will it take to get from here to Fauns?" Ash asked."About four days by car!" Diane thought for a moment and replied.Max showed a determined expression: "Taking Jirachi back to Fauns is what I, as its companion, should do!"Everyone expressed their agreement! The RV continued moving towards Fauns.The next day, Diane and May sat together chatting. Diane reminisced to May: "Butler and I were childhood sweethearts. When he was little, he loved inventing and was someone who liked to bring surprises to people..."May asked worriedly: "Butler's matter... will it be okay?"Diane said firmly: "In four more days, Jirachi will enter its thousand-year sleep again!" At the same time, Diane got up, walked to the car door, and looked at Jirachi through the window, "By then, his ambition will naturally end! At that time, he will definitely turn back into the original Butler!"Time flew by little by little, and the time left for Jirachi was getting shorter and shorter. Max was now worried whenever he looked at Jirachi. "Soon, I won't be able to see Jirachi anymore!"( ´•ω•)ノ(._.`) Ash walked over to comfort him: "To a comet, a thousand years might just be an instant, and to Jirachi, sleeping for a thousand years might also just be an instant!"Ash got up and stood, looking at the sky, saying: "Therefore, seven days is just an instant, but it's even more unforgettable! As long as you leave beautiful memories with each other, you will always be together!"Max also stood up and smiled again: "Yes! I understand!"On the sixth day, after passing through a canyon, they parked the car by the cliff edge. Diane turned and said to Ash and the others: "We've arrived! This is Fauns!"Ash and the others looked over. Countless thick stone pillars stood in the lush, dense forest, a very spectacular and eye-catching sight!"This is Fauns! It's simply a paradise!" Ash exclaimed as he looked at the beautiful scenery before him.Subsequently, Ash and the others walked along the mountain path, seeing various Pokémon living in the forest, Swablu and Altaria flying in the sky, Nuzleafon the trees. The peaceful environment made Ashand the others feel an unprecedented sense of peace.Jirachi said happily: "I like it here!""We like it here too!" Everyone said with a smile. "Pika~"To be continued...
Chapter 46: Qiye's Wishing Star - Monster of the EarthChapter 46: Jirachi: Wish Maker – The Earth MonsterThat night, everyone watched the fleeting Millennium Comet together. May folded the sixth star of the Wish Star while facing the Millennium Comet, and they all enjoyed the peaceful starry sky!The next day, Jirachi had recovered all its power, but after today, Jirachi would enter a thousand-year slumber. Ash and the others woke up early and headed towards the depths of Fauns. The dense Forest made it difficult for Ash and the others to find the direction of Jirachi's sleeping place.Just then, Ash felt a familiar Aura. "Awoo~" Absolsuddenly appeared before them and signaled them to follow!With Absol leading the way, Ash and the others had a much smoother journey. They walked from day to evening until they reached a tall cliff. Many Pokémon appeared on both sides of the road to welcome Jirachi's return!"Ah! Look! It's Flygon!" Max exclaimed in surprise, pointing at the Pokémon on the giant rock.May looked around curiously at the atmosphere: "It seems everyone is here to welcome Jirachi!"Afterward, Ash and the others followed Absol into a deep, dark cave, which opened into an outdoor grotto! "It's in here, the place where Jirachi has always slept!" Diane confirmed, looking at the surroundings.Just then, Absol looked up and gestured for Ash and the others to look above, then ran into the darkness and left. Ash and the others looked up through the huge opening and could clearly see the Millennium Comet shining in the starry sky!"The stars are calling me..." After saying this, Jirachislowly began to float up. "Jirachi..." Suddenly, Maxhugged Jirachi tightly. "I still don't want to be separated from Jirachi!!"Jirachi was startled and looked at Max: "Max..."˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )‧º·˚ This time, Max let the sadness in his heart burst out, crying loudly: "We finally became friends, and now we have to separate again! I don't want to!!"Everyone was at a loss for words. After all, this separation from Jirachi would be a permanent farewell!! Everyone was also very sad!"The stars are calling me..." Unfortunately, this could not stop Jirachi from fulfilling its mission. It slowly floated into mid-air, lying before the Millennium Comet!"The Eye of Truth is about to open!" Dianeexclaimed."The Eye of Truth?" Everyone was confused. Wow, she still had some secrets!Diane quickly explained: "When Jirachi draws energy from the Millennium Comet, it will open its Eye of Truth!"Everyone watched Jirachi curiously, only to see the black slit on Jirachi's belly slowly open like an eye!Diane explained in detail: "During its thousand-year slumber, Jirachi will gradually inject the energy absorbed from the comet into the earth! It is precisely because of this that Fauns is able to maintain such rich vegetation!"Only then did everyone suddenly understand. So the Forest here was nurtured by Jirachi!Continuing to watch Jirachi, the eye on its belly had fully opened and was about to absorb energy and fall into slumber again, when a sudden change occurred!"Oh no, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt quickly!" Ash said urgently. "Pika~chu~" Unfortunately, it was a step too late!They saw four steel pillar devices break out from the surrounding stone walls and open, emitting purple lasers that created a protective shield next to Jirachi. Pikachu's electric current was blocked, and Jirachiwas pulled into the air!"Jirachi! Damn it! It's a trap!!" Everyone shouted!!Just then, a black cloth fell from the cave ceiling, and the opening suddenly widened. A circular steel platform appeared outside, suspended in the air by chains attached to the surrounding stone pillars! Standing on it was Butler, dressed in a tuxedo and holding a magic wand. "Everyone! Welcome to the magic show of the true Great Magician, Butler!"Diane asked with a shocked expression: "Butler! How did you know about this place?"Everyone first looked at Diane suspiciously, after all, she was the only one who knew their whereabouts! But they quickly dismissed the thought, as they had been with Diane the whole time and hadn't noticed anything unusual!Ash shook his head and said: "He discovered Jirachihere and took it out. It's normal for him to guess this place. We were careless!"Butler smiled smugly: "That's right. To successfully open Jirachi's heart and gain its trust! Your friendship was the most effective method, and you were the biggest trap I set for Jirachi!""Butler! Don't be so stubborn!" Diane looked at Butler angrily!"Diane, once my experiment succeeds, I believe you will understand me." Butler waved his hand, then pressed a button, shooting out purple energy rays again, creating a protective shield around Ash and the others, trapping them!"Everyone! The climax is about to begin, please enjoy this magnificent performance to the fullest!!""Damn it, you wish! Come out! Everyone!" Ashreleased all the Pokémon he had with him! Xiao Gang and May also released their Pokémon!Numerous Pokémon attacked the protective shield together!Meanwhile, Butler had already transferred Jirachi to the device that absorbs comet energy. On the other side of the device, he placed fragments of stone obtained from Groudon!The Eye of Truth on Jirachi's belly opened again, and a shining beam of light shot out, connecting with the Millennium Comet!Butler shouted madly: "Team Magma, watch this! Groudon is about to be resurrected now!"Just then, Absol and Flygon rushed over. With the efforts of many Pokémon, the protective shield was finally broken.Ash rode on Charizard, Pikachu rode on Pidgeot, and Max insisted on riding on Flygon!By the time Ash flew onto the steel platform, the Groudon pattern on the ground was about to be completed!Butler was still shouting madly: "Resurrect quickly, Groudon! Only your resurrection can prove that my theory is correct!!""Jirachi!" Max shouted!"Hmph, what a nuisance! Salamence, quickly drive them away!" Butler threw out a Poké Ball, releasing a Salamence![Salamence][Strength: Quasi-Heavenly King (Mid-Stage)]Subsequently, Ash had Pidgeot and Pikachu engage in a battle with Salamence, while Ash had Charizardand Flygon take the opportunity to destroy the device and rescue Jirachi!Butler looked at the completed Groudon pattern on the ground and laughed madly: "Hahaha! It's all too late!"----------"Jirachi, are you okay? Cheer up a little!" Max asked with concern, holding Jirachi.At this moment, the Eye of Truth on Jirachi's belly closed, and Jirachi also woke up.Jirachi smiled: "Max... Ash...""Jirachi, it's great that you're alright!"Afterward, Ash and Max reunited with Xiao Gang, May, and Diane. "That's great! Everyone is safe!" May breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Ash and Maxreturn safely!Just then, the pattern on the ground began to slowly converge. A huge creature, like a dinosaur, appeared, its body protected by red scales, covered in blue stripes, and its crimson eyes filled with tyranny!"What? Is this Groudon?!" Butler froze on the spot. This didn't seem quite like what he had imagined."Is that Groudon?" May asked, pointing at the giant creature."No, that's not Groudon! It's just a monster that looks like it, with only power but no soul!" Ash said, shaking his head.[Earth Monster ○ Groudon][Type: Ground][Strength: Elite (Early-Stage)]Just then, the monster began to move, and the nearby trees rapidly withered.Xiao Gang exclaimed in horror: "Oh my god, the trees are gradually withering!""That monster is constantly absorbing the energy of the earth! We must stop it!" Ash said in a deep voice.Absol wanted to stop it, but its attacks had no effect. Instead, it was swallowed! The monster began to constantly absorb the Pokémon in the Forest, and its power continuously increased!Ash and the others came to the cliff edge where Butler was. Butler was frozen in place, staring blankly at the monster before him. Diane walked up to Butler and asked angrily, "Butler, is this what you have been single-mindedly pursuing?"Butler shook his head, his eyes vacant: "No, what I wanted to resurrect wasn't something like this!"The monster was still constantly releasing tentacles to devour things, accidentally affecting the Team Rockets who were watching, and then swallowing them!"How could something so terrifying be Groudon? No! It shouldn't be like this!" Butler held his head and stumbled back a few steps, looking distraught. Suddenly, a tentacle stretched towards him. Dianerushed forward without hesitation and pushed Butler away, but she was caught by the tentacle!"Diane!" Butler was shocked and reached out to pull Diane.Diane directly made a deathbed confession: "Butler, I truly and sincerely love you! Live well!" After saying that, she was swallowed!"Diane——" Butler shouted in pain."Don't worry! Miss Diane will definitely be fine, as long as we eliminate this monster!" Ash comforted him. You know, the true protagonists, Team Rocket Trio, were also swallowed. With their luck, they will definitely be fine!Just then, more tentacles reached out. Ash and the others got onto their Flying Pokémon and dodged!"That guy wants Jirachi's energy!" Butler fully sobered up and shouted at Ash and the others with red eyes: "Ash, I beg you, I must save Diane!"To be continued...
Chapter 47: Nanaya's Wishing Star - Xiaozhi's Full Power OutburstChapter 47: Jirachi: Wish Maker - Ash's Full Power OutbreakAsh looked at the awakened child, truly pitiful! "Sigh~ Everyone, give it your all!" He left Eevee and Jigglypuff with May and the others, as their strength was too weak!Although the monster's power had reached the Elitelevel, it had no intelligence, so there was still a chance. Moreover, if the monster continued to absorb energy, even if it didn't reach the Legendary level, Champion level would be easy, so time was running out!Ash took a deep breath and activated the universal ring: "Next, Pidgeot, Charizard, Tyranitar!" He threw the Mega Evolution Stone towards the three! The three Pokemon quickly caught them!"Mega Evolution!" If it weren't for the system's key stone, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand the simultaneous Mega Evolution of three Pokemon!"Owooo~" "Pidge~" "Tyra~"The light of Mega Evolution dispersed, and Mega Charizard X, Mega Pidgeot, and Super Tyranitarappeared! They began to attack the monster!"Come on, Pikachu! For Ground types, Electric types are hard to use! Change your type!" Ash activated the universal ring again and took out the Tera Orb. "Pika~" Pikachu nodded seriously!Change type?! You're not kidding, are you! (ﾟ⊿ﾟ)ﾂ The people around Ash looked at him in surprise!"Tera Orb, go! Terastallization!" Ash threw the Tera Orb onto Pikachu. "Pika~" Crystals surged on Pikachu's body, and several balloons appeared above its head! Terastallized Pikachu appeared!"So gorgeous!" May looked at Pikachu with sparkling eyes.Everyone looked at Pikachu in surprise, it was incredible.Butler was the first to react, gritting his teeth: "Go, Salamence! You must save Diane!""Mega Charizard X, Flamethrower! Mega Pidgeot, Air Slash! Super Tyranitar, Snorlax, Hyper Beam! Pikachu, Tera Blast!" Ash calmly gave the commands!"Salamence, Flamethrower!" And a Dragon Pulseexploded, also joining the battlefield. It was Flygon, another guardian of Fauns!The monster roared, and countless tentacles attacked Ash and the others!At this moment, "The stars are calling me~" Jirachibegan its True Eye again!"Jirachi, you..." Max looked at Jirachi in surprise. Jirachi didn't respond, but it was clear. Jirachiwanted to use the power of the comet to defeat the Ground monster!Ash felt the situation on Max's side and shouted: "Butler, launch your strongest attack to provide an opportunity for Jirachi!""Understood, Salamence, use your full power Hyper Beam!" Flygon also unleashed a powerful Dragon Pulse!"Mega Charizard X, Outrage activated! Mega Pidgeot, Brave Bird! Super Tyranitar, Dark Pulse! Pikachu, Tera Blast!" Ash activated the z-ring in the universal ring, directly imbuing Snorlax Z, the move action system. "Come on! Snorlax, Serious Slam!""Snor~" Snorlax was originally the weakest, but with the Z-Move boost, it instantly became the strongest attack!Under multiple attacks, a large number of tentacles were successfully shattered, successfully opening a path.At this moment, Jirachi's energy was also full, emitting white light all over its body. "Ash! I'm coming!" Jirachi's abdomen was filled with power.Ash nodded, "The rest is up to you, Jirachi! Use Doom Desire.""Yes! My partner! Doom Desire!" Jirachi's body surged with the true aura of a divine being!Jirachi burst out with a bright and dazzling light, piercing through the sky! The Ground monster directly exploded and was defeated. Afterwards, rays of light of various colors fell like a meteor shower, and the Pokemon and humans that were swallowed returned one by one!Butler ran over excitedly: "Diane..." "Butler!" The two, having experienced separation between life and death, hugged tightly!"Phew, we succeeded! Thank you everyone!" "Owooo~" "Pika~" "Pidge~" "Snor~" "Tyra~""Eevee~" "Jigglypuff~" At this moment, Eevee and Jigglypuff ran over from a distance and pounced into Ash's arms. May and the others also rushed over."Yay! That's great, we defeated the monster! Ash, you're really amazing!" *⁂((✪⥎✪))⁂* May looked at Ash with admiration!Jirachi descended from the sky, glowing all over its body. "Jirachi, thank you!" Max quickly hugged Jirachi!"Max, I like you so much! I like everyone so much too, because you are all so kind to me, we will always be good friends!" Jirachi said, looking at everyone."That's right, we will always be good friends!"Jirachi flew into the air again, "Thank you, Ash! I'm going to sleep again. Let this little bit of comet power help you!"Bits of starlight scattered down. Charizard advanced to Quasi-Heavenly King (Mid-Stage), Tyranitaradvanced to Quasi-Heavenly King Initial Stage, Pidgeot advanced to Quasi-Heavenly King Initial Stage, Snorlax advanced to Gym Leader Early Stage, and Jigglypuff advanced to Gym Later Stage! As for Pikachu and Eevee...[Ding~ Seven Nights' Wish Star achievement unlocked. Comet power detected. Reward: Partner Power]Afterwards, Pikachu's and Eevee's bodies emitted evolution light! "Ah! They're going to evolve?!" Maypointed in surprise.Xiao Gang was very confused, wasn't Pikachu very resistant to evolution?"Is it Raichu and Umbreon?! But Pikachu doesn't seem to have used a Thunder Stone?!" Max asked in confusion.The evolution light shattered, and everyone showed confused expressions [・_・?], because Pikachuand Eevee didn't change at all, but their strength increased significantly.[Partner Pikachu][Strength: Quasi-Heavenly King (Mid-Stage)][Moves: Glittering Thunder Light, Zippy Zap, Fly...][Partner Eevee][Strength: Gym Leader Early Stage][Moves: Veevee Volley, Nasty Plot, Last Resort, Ace...][Glittering Thunder Light: The higher the friendship, the greater the attack power.Zippy Zap: Priority attack, hits the opponent's vital spot.Veevee Volley: The higher the friendship, the greater the attack power.Nasty Plot: Attacks the opponent while creating a mysterious wall that weakens physical attack.]"Everyone, are you willing to listen to my wish?" Jirachi in the sky spoke."Jirachi's wish?" Max said in surprise."I want to listen to a song, because I'm going to sleep soon!" Jirachi said!"Jirachi..." Max's tears began to fall. Finally, everyone sang a lullaby for Jirachi!"Thank you, I'm so happy, so joyful!" In everyone's singing, Jirachi slowly closed its eyes, the cloth covering its body wrapped around it, emitting a faint white light, and it transformed back into a purple crystal, sinking into the ground for a thousand-year sleep.Green halos spread across the ground of Fauns. The green light awakened Jirachi, and Jirachi returned the green light, another thousand-year cycle!"Good night, Jirachi!" "Pikachu~" "Eevee~"After the event, Butler surrendered and fully cooperated with Officer Jenny in investigating Team Magma, while Diane also waited for Butler's return to protect Fauns with him.——————————Ash and the others set off on their journey again. "Oh right, May, your wish-fulfilling star..." Ashasked."Ah! I forgot last night!" May screamed in pain, then cheered up again, "Then, I'll fulfill my own wish myself!"To be continued...
Chapter 48: Xiaoxia ReturnsChapter 48: Misty's Return"Ash, the Poké Ball permission for Eevee has been lifted. Also, hurry up and finish the League and come back. I must observe the partner Pokemon properly!" Professor Oak looked enviously at the two little cuties on Ash's shoulder. Partner Pokemon! They are a very rare existence. In the original story, it seemed only Koharu's Eevee was a partner Pokemon.As Eevee became his partner Pokemon, Ash had to ask Professor Oak for help to lift the permission. After all, the higher the intimacy between a partner Pokemon and its Trainer, the faster its strength increases! Professor Oak, who was originally hesitant, immediately agreed with a guarantee upon hearing that Pikachu and the others had become partner Pokemon.Ash's team: Pikachu, Eevee, Ralts, Mudkip, Torchic, Corphish, Taillow, Electrike"I'm so jealous! Ash, you can actually bring Pikachuand Eevee additionally!" May said enviously from the side.Max rolled his eyes and retorted, "Princess, even the six slots aren't full. What's the point of being jealous!""Max!!" "Ah! I was wrong, Princess!""Alright! It's about time! Misty should be arriving soon, right, Xiao Gang!" "Yes! It's about time, let's go!""What were Ash and Xiao Gang's former companions like?!" May asked curiously as she walked, not even knowing why she felt a sense of nervousness in her heart!Ash and Xiao Gang thought of the time they were dominated yet happy, and exchanged glances. "Don't worry, Misty is very nice!"That's right, not long ago, Misty sent a message to Ash and the others saying she was coming to the Hoenn Region and arranged to meet them at a restaurant in the Desert Oasis. Ash and the others were on their way to meet her!----------Ash and the others were waiting for Misty's arrival by the lake outside the restaurant! "Pika~" The Pikachu on Ash's shoulder was the first to point in a direction and make a sound!"Hey~ Misty! Over here~" Ash and the others shouted at the running figure.A girl with orange hair tied in a side ponytail, wearing a beige short-sleeved shirt and shorts, holding a Togepi in her arms, ran up to Ash and the others (*^▽^*). "Everyone, long time no see!" "Bo Ji Bu Li~""Long time no see, Misty, Togepi!" "Pikachu Pi~" Ash, Xiao Gang, and Pikachu greeted Misty!"Pikachu, long time no see to you too! Is this Eevee?! Hello! Ash, Xiao Gang, how have you all been?" "Bu Yi~" The original trio reunited and naturally had a good time catching up!Eevee can now declare that besides overthrowing the regime of the yellow-skinned mouse, the other problems from back then are mostly resolved. Next time, they will overthrow the yellow-skinned mouse's regime and become the primary successor!!"We've been great, of course!" Ash replied with a smile.Xiao Gang asked about Misty's job with concern: "How is the Gym Leader job?"Misty said with disdain: "It's exhausting. My Princesses aren't here, so I'm the only one holding things up." The original trio chatted enthusiastically, making the new second-generation members feel a bit lost and unsure of what to say, standing frozen in place.May and Max peeked out from behind Ash and Xiao Gang. May couldn't help but interject, "Um..."Misty then realized there were new people beside her: "You must be May, and you're Max, right? Please take care of me!""Nice to meet you! I've always wanted to meet you!" May rushed directly in front of Misty and said excitedly."Nice to meet you!" Max replied politely with a smile."Jiao Ji Jiao Ji~" The Togepi in Misty's arms also greeted the two."Wow, it's Togepi!" Now even Max couldn't help but step forward to look at Togepi."So cute!" May took out her Pokédex and scanned it:Togepi..."Bo Ji Bu Li~" Togepi happily waved its little hands."Being able to meet everyone here today is thanks to Togepi!" Saying that, Misty took out an invitation and handed it to Ash."Togepi Festival, recruiting Togepi Trainers!" Ashand Xiao Gang looked at the content of the invitation.Ash and Xiao Gang looked at the restaurant beside them. "This is the venue!""I called you because you happened to be passing by this area, Ash. If it weren't for me and Togepileading the way, you wouldn't be able to get in!" Misty proudly snatched the invitation back from Ash's hand.Everyone arrived at the door, finding it strange that there was no one around. Misty had to push the door open, only to see two strange men with large beards and wearing coats that looked like Togepieggshells walk out. Their eyes lit up when they saw the Togepi in Misty's arms."Welcome, esteemed guests!" "We are from the Togepi Festival Executive Committee, specifically responsible for guiding our invited distinguished guests into the venue!" They were about to lead everyone into the restaurant."Oh!" Misty nodded blankly."Wow! What a cute Togepi!" Just as the two were about to make a move."Wait a minute!" Ash suddenly spoke from the side. "I was wondering how people from the HoennRegion knew that Misty from the Kanto Region had a Togepi. So it's you! Team Rockets!""Team Rockets?!" Everyone was shocked (ﾟ⊿ﾟ)ﾂ."What?! Satoshi, you're getting harder and harder to deal with. That's right! Since you... Wobbuffet~" Seeing they were exposed, Musashi and Kojiro also removed their disguises."Team Rockets! It's you again! You've even chased Pikachu all the way here!" Misty sighed speechlessly, holding her forehead."Long time no see! Original little girl, but unfortunately, our target today isn't Pikachu! It's..."Ash quickly warned, "Be careful! Misty!" A mechanical arm stretched out from inside the restaurant and snatched the Togepi from Misty's arms! "Bo Ji Bu Li~""Hehe! Goodbye everyone!" Musashi and Kojiro got their hands on it and didn't linger, retreating immediately! "Ah! Togepi!"Ash and the others wanted to chase, but the door was suddenly locked. The walls around the restaurant collapsed, and a spaceship appeared and began to rise!"This is bad, come out! Ralts, use Teleport, get inside!" "Raru~" Everyone disappeared from the spot and had arrived inside the spaceship. Ash and the others looked at the dark environment, and after confirming they were inside the spaceship, they breathed a sigh of relief.Misty smiled at Ralts and said, "Thank you, Ralts!" "Raru~" Ralts smiled in response."Alright! May Exploration Team will transform into the rescue team today! Let's rescue Togepi!"At this moment, Ash and the others had been taken into the desert by the spaceship. Xiao Gang poked his head out and exclaimed, "Ah! It's a Sandstorm! The spaceship is trying to go into the Sandstorm!""Everyone quickly find something to hold onto to stabilize yourselves. It might shake violently soon!" Ash instructed.May, not one to shy away from excitement, continued to narrate, "Wow! What will be the fate of the May Rescue Team?"Ash and the others held tightly onto the nearby railings, while the Team Rocket Trio in the cockpit also prepared to break through the Sandstorm. After a period of shaking, they successfully broke through the Sandstorm and arrived at the Kingdom of Mirage!The spaceship landed at the airport, and the Team Rocket Trio also got off the spaceship with Togepi! At this moment, Ash and the others also jumped off the spaceship. "Team Rockets! Stop! Give me back Togepi!" Misty shouted."Bo Ji Bu Li~""Satoshi?! When did you get on the ship?" "Stowing away is wrong!"Just as Team Rockets were about to make a move, they were stopped by a man wearing a high hat and two small tufts of beard!"Lord Hanzo!" "Please take a look, we've brought Togepi!" Musashi and Kojiro handed Togepi towards Hanzo."How about it! Leaving things to the two of us, you can rest assured, right!" Musashi said smugly.Hanzo took Togepi and snorted coldly: "The operation failed. I only told you to bring Togepi, not the Trainers!""It seems you are the mastermind!" Everyone glared at Hanzo.To be continued...
Chapter 49: Mirazu KingdomChapter 49 Miraizu Kingdom"I am Hanzo, the Regent of the Miraizu Kingdom. For certain reasons, I need to use Togepi. Leave Togepihere and leave this place as soon as possible!" Hanzo said slowly and arrogantly."Give Togepi back to me quickly!" Misty said angrily."Then there's no other way, I'll have to force you out!" Hanzo snapped his fingers, and a Pokemonflew out from behind him."Ah! It's Shedinja!" Max exclaimed.The white 'halo' on Shedinja's head had already begun to gather solar energy, preparing to fire Solar Beam!"Eevee, Nasty Plot! Pikachu, use Zippy Zap and save Togepi!" "Eevee~" "Pika~" The two little cuties on Ash's shoulder launched their attack!Pikachu flashed like lightning, directly shattering the cage trapping Togepi and rescuing Togepi! Eeveereleased Nasty Plot, directly knocking out Shedinja, who was still gathering solar energy!Everyone (། – _ – །)... So weak!Togepi had already been brought back to Misty by Pikachu. "That's great, Togepi! Thank you so much, Pikachu!" "Pika~""You're amazing! Ash, you defeated Shedinja in one move!" May said admiringly."Not really, Shedinja's main characteristic is Wonder Guard, it's only affected by supereffective moves. Once hit, it loses the ability to battle!" Ashexplained."Ash, you've become stronger! And you've grown!" Misty looked deeply at Ash, smiling and sighing, while Xiao Gang nodded in agreement beside her."Damn it! Give Togepi back to me! Go on!" At this moment, two more Ninjask flew out!"Ah——" Misty began to tremble all over."What's wrong, Misty!" May asked with concern."Uh~ Misty is afraid of bugs." Xiao Gang explained, and Misty nodded.May, Max..."Then let's finish them off in one go!" Ash said confidently. "Pikachu, Glittering Thunder Light! Eevee, Veevee Volley!"The intimacy between Ash and Pikachu was naturally MAX, and Eevee wasn't far behind!The two Ninjask were instantly knocked out!Seeing the bad situation, Team Rockets had Seviperrelease Haze and ran away early! Hanzo angrily recalled Shedinja and Ninjask, and while the Hazehadn't dissipated, he also escaped!Ash and the others had to search everywhere for an exit. They came to a garden and met a beautiful girl in a blue dress and blue hat with light red hair, accompanied by a follower. Xiao Gang beside them had already started showing hearts, but was unfortunately held back by Max!"Poji jiao ji~ Poji bu li~" Togepi in Misty's arms cried out happily.Seeing Togepi, the girl said in surprise: "Ah! Togepi!""My name is Sarah, and I am the Princess of the Miraizu Kingdom!" Sarah lifted the hem of her dress and introduced herself with a noble courtesy.Everyone introduced themselves seriously, except for Xiao Gang, who was almost unrestrainable!Afterwards, everyone was taken by the girl to see the Old King. After the Old King heard their situation, he said, "I apologize for causing you so much trouble. Regent Hanzo and I often clash over how to govern the country! I think he might have some ulterior motive for using your Togepi!"Sarah said seriously, "Please believe us, from beginning to end, we never intended to take your Togepi! And we don't have that thought either!"The Old King continued, "Then please ask these distinguished guests to leave our Miraizu Kingdom! Prepare the ship!""Yes, Your Majesty!"——————————Ash and the others had followed Sarah to the palace entrance."Please wait a moment, if you don't mind, could you tell us the detailed situation?" Misty couldn't help but ask."Our country has worshipped Togepi since ancient times, believing it to be a guardian Pokemon of freedom and peace. So in this country, those who inherit the throne have a mission to find a Togepisomewhere in the world! And gain its recognition!" Sarah thought for a moment before speaking."Mission!" (⊙o⊙) Everyone was greatly surprised!"So where is the King's Togepi now?" Xiao Gang asked strangely."It has already returned to a distant place. In the legend of our country, when Togepi is about to leave, the heir to the throne is formally recognized as the rightful King. And my father was recognized by Togepi and formally became King!"May sighed, "Togepi is truly an amazing Pokemon!""Originally, the succession ceremony was supposed to be held at this temple tomorrow, granting the right of succession to the throne to the person who possesses Togepi!" Sarah paused and then added, "However, I did not find Togepi before the Regulations day! Therefore, I am not qualified to inherit!""So you mean, bringing this Togepi here was for the ceremony?" Misty asked in confusion.Sarah shook her head, "I think Hanzo might be trying to use your Togepi to claim that he is the one who truly has the right of succession to the throne!"At this moment, taking advantage of everyone's carelessness, Xiao Gang directly knelt on one knee, holding Sarah's hand, "Please don't worry, my Princess! I am here to save you from the power struggle..."Sarah was completely stunned! Just as Max was about to act...Misty had already reached out a hand, skillfully positioning it near Xiao Gang's ear, and twisted his ear, "We already know, come back here!""Ah! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Xiao Gang felt the familiar force, which was not comparable to Max's.(✧∇✧) Max looked at Misty with sparkling eyes. So amazing, he wanted to become her apprentice!"Princess Sarah, if you don't mind, we can help!"Sarah shook her head, "I can't involve you in danger! So, please leave this country as soon as possible!""But, if there's no Togepi, then the Princess..."Sarah said optimistically, "Don't worry about me, there will naturally be a way!"Afterwards, Sarah sent Ash and the others to the airport. "Miss Misty, please leave quickly! Before Hanzo and their pursuers arrive, please take Togepiand everyone and leave this place!"At this moment, a mirage appeared in the sky. The blue sky above the temple was like a mirror, reflecting the image of the temple!Everyone was shocked by this sight! And Togepisuddenly emitted a light blue glow and began to float towards the mirage!Sarah covered her mouth and said in disbelief, "Could it be that Togepi sensed the paradise on the other side of the mirage?!"At this moment, Shedinja appeared in front of Togepi again, and the halo above its head began to gather solar energy!"Ah! Shedinja!" Misty quickly jumped up and hugged Togepi, dodging a green energy beam fired by Shedinja!Hanzo, along with Team Rockets, also appeared in Ash and their line of sight: "You can't escape!" "Hand over Togepi obediently, meow!"Misty said angrily, "You bad guys, I will never give Togepi to you!""Hmph, stubborn! Shedinja, use Solar Beam!" Hanzoordered, pointing at Ash and the others."I won't give you a chance! Pikachu, Fly!"Everyone (・◇・)??? Pikachu can Fly???"Pikachu~" Pikachu flew directly towards Shedinja, bang! Shedinja lost the ability to battle!Actually, as long as you know Shedinja's weakness and use a move that counters it, Shedinja is useless!Hanzo's face turned red with anger and he shouted, "Damn it! Ninjask, use Hyper Beam!"The two Ninjask began to condense energy, forming two purple-black energy beams. "Eevee, Protect!" "Eevee~"Eevee set up a green barrier in front of Ash and the others, blocking the Hyper Beam.Just as Ash was about to order the defeat of Hanzo, a silver-white light emanated from the mirage, enveloping Ash and the others and teleporting them to the Togepi paradise within the mirage.To be continued...
Chapter 50: Pokémon Land, Pokémon GoChapter 50: Togepi Paradise, Togetic"Is this Togepi Paradise?! But why is it like this...?" May looked at the withered vegetation around.Max carefully touched a leaf beside him, and the leaf immediately turned into ashes!"It is said that the Togepi here grow through spiritual contact with people. You are also aware of the current situation in the Miraizu Kingdom! Alas~" Sarah said with a low expression.Meanwhile, Hanzo outside, seeing the people who were hindering him disappear, was overjoyed and launched a coup!! At the same time, he was even more envious of Togepi's power, which could instantly teleport so many people away.On Ash's side, Togepi was very sad to see the dead silence, and suddenly seemed to discover something, drifting towards a hillside."Ah! Togepi, wait a minute!" Ash and the others quickly chased after it! Upon arriving at the destination, everyone was shocked!They saw a group of Togepi lying on a withered grassy area, looking very weak. Misty's Togepilooked at its companions with concern!"How could this happen?" (︶︿︶) Everyone looked at the weak state of the Togepi and said sadly.Misty said angrily, "It must be that guy named Hanzo!"Sarah hugged a Togepi and also nodded angrily, "Now that Hanzo is plotting something, it has probably affected this place, causing the Togepi to fall into pain!"Just then, thunder flashed in the sky of TogepiParadise from time to time. Misty's obedient and optimistic Togepi actually showed an angry expression and flew in one direction. Ash and the others came back to their senses and quickly followed.Soon, Togepi stopped. They saw a blue mirror standing in front of them, and the images of Hanzoand Team Rocket Trio were reflected on the mirror! They were constantly destroying the mirror outside, which caused Togepi Paradise to be affected!"Damn those people! They really don't give up!" Misty clenched her fists and said angrily."Jiaoji~" Togepi flew towards the mirror and passed through. Ash quickly activated his Aura, and also took Xiao Gang and the others through to the outside!"We're out, meow!" "This place is really connected to somewhere!" "Satoshi, they are out too!"Sarah pointed at Hanzo and said angrily, "Hanzo! This action of yours is not what the guardian Pokemon Togepi wants to see!"Hanzo didn't say anything else and immediately sent out Ninjask and Shedinja again!"Go, Torchic, use Ember!" "Go, Electrike, use Discharge!"Torchic spat out many spherical Embers, hitting one Ninjask. Electrike also released blue electric light, knocking down one Ninjask!"Chamo~" At this moment, Torchic's body emitted a blue-white evolutionary light, grew two hands, and its body became taller—Combusken appeared!!"This is..." May said in surprise, took out her Pokedex and scanned it:Combusken...[Combusken][Strength: Superior Initial Stage][Moves: Double Kick, Flamethrower, Feather Dance...]Speaking of which, most of Ash's Pokemon don't evolve when they reach the evolutionary level, but instead push to their limit before breaking through!May excitedly commanded, "Okay, go! Combusken, Flamethrower!" "Chamo~" Combusken sprayed orange flames and defeated Ninjask with one blow!Okay, Hanzo is left with only Shedinja again: "Damn it, Shedinja, use Solar Beam!"Shedinja began to gather solar energy and shot a green energy beam towards Ash and the others!Just then, a blue-green protective shield suddenly appeared, blocking the attack! "Is this Safeguard?!" Ash looked at the protective shield and said.At this moment, a group of Togepi surged out from Togepi Paradise. The Togepi floated in the air, neatly waving their small hands. Several blue lights appeared, shining on Misty's Togepi. Togepi's whole body emitted a blue-white evolutionary light, the Togepi eggshell disappeared, and it grew a long neck and small wings, evolving into Togetic!"Togepi has evolved into Togetic!" Ash introduced.Togetic flew to Misty and rubbed against her, "Jiaojigu~""Togetic!" Misty looked at Togetic happily.Togetic flew back in front of the Togepi and glared at Hanzo."Hmph! You actually evolved, but I won't let you go! Shedinja, use Solar Beam!" Hanzo knew that the possibility of his success was not high, but he had to give it a try!However, the Solar Beam was still blocked by Togetic's Safeguard!"What about guardian Pokemon? You can't win just by guarding!" Hanzo shouted frantically."Then let me take care of you! Go, my baby's new partner!" Misty decided to take action herself to help Togetic!"Roar~" It was the Water-type Pokemon that Mistywas previously afraid of—Gyarados!Hanzo said disdainfully, "Do you want to defeat my Shedinja with a Water-type Pokemon?! That's hilarious!""That's right, Gyarados, use Flamethrower!" Mistyused an unexpected move!Gyarados sprayed out an orange flame, hitting Shedinja. Shedinja fell to the ground and lost its ability to battle! And Hanzo's beard and eyebrows were half burned! This really angered Hanzo!!"Hanzo, this is the end!" At this moment, the Old King and Queen arrived with the guards. "Arrest him!""Yes!" The guards locked up Hanzo!Team Rockets took advantage of everyone's inattention and escaped!The Togepi also flew into the air and returned to Togepi Paradise one after another!"Togetic, say goodbye to everyone!" Misty said to Togetic, because she was worried about her unreliable Princesses, she also had to leave!Togetic flew in front of Misty and looked in the direction where the Togepi had left, showing worry, "Jiaojigu~ Jiaojigu~""Is Togetic worried that the Togepi will be in danger again and wants to stay here to protect them?" Ashlooked at Togepi Paradise and said to Togetic with a smile, "Don't worry! Since Togepi Paradise is connected to the Miraizu Kingdom, Sarah will definitely protect this place well!"Sarah also nodded and promised, "That's right, even if I can't inherit the throne, I will still continue to protect this paradise! Don't worry, leave it to me, Togetic!"Seeing this, Togetic put down its worries and smiled again, after all, it didn't want to part with Misty!"Princess Sarah, you already have the right to inherit the throne!" Ash said with a smile, pointing at Sarah's feet."Bojibuli~" Sarah looked down and saw the Togepiat her feet, pulling at her. She knelt down and hugged the Togepi, "Togepi, didn't you go back to the paradise?""Jiaoji jiaoji~" Togepi replied with a smile!"It seems this Togepi is the Togepi you were looking for!" Ash said with a smile.And Togepi was already happily rubbing against Sarah in her arms!"That's great, Princess Sarah!" Everyone congratulated her.Sarah stood up and thanked them, "Thank you everyone!"——————————Early the next morning, Ash and the others boarded the airship, left the Miraizu Kingdom, and returned to the previous lake!It was also time for everyone to part, and Misty took Togetic and boarded the airship again to return to Kanto. "Well then, goodbye everyone! You must work hard!" "Jiaojigu~""Goodbye! Say hello to your Princesses for us!" "Pika~" "Eevee~""Okay! Everyone is welcome to visit Cerulean Citywhen you have time!"To be continued...
