Jirachi's soft and adorable loli voice hit Lorze's heart like Cupid's arrow, dealing a critical hit!
Unable to suppress his jumping heart, Lorze had no mind to watch the rest of the magic show. He was on pins and needles, his mind entirely filled with the cute Wishing Star.
So much so that when the magic show ended, Lorze fled at a speed beyond Ash and his friends' imagination, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Brock, May, Max, did you guys... see Mr. Lorze?"
Surrounded by the crowd pouring out of the performance hall, it was hard enough to take care of himself, let alone worry about others!
"L-Let's just get outside first, Ash! Sir Lorze might already be outside!"
Lorze, of course, had not gone outside, but had already arrived backstage with Butler and Diane.
Seeing the young man sneak in, the man dropped his refined demeanor and pointed his magic wand at him.
"The magic show is already over. We don't welcome people trying to figure out the tricks here, get out!"
A Mightyena also blocked the doorway, glaring with scarlet eyes, its front body slightly crouched, tail straight up, baring its fangs at the uninvited guest at the door.
"I'm sorry! But I think I heard a voice coming from that stone during the performance just now, so I'm quite curious about it. May I ask if it's some specially made magic prop?"
For a brief moment, Butler felt a very heavy murderous intent from the young man at the door, but it was only for a moment.
Recovering from his daze, it was clearly a pair of college student's clear and foolish eyes, possessing a kind of pure beauty, absolutely harmless to humans and animals. It must have been an illusion...
But more importantly, what did he say? He could hear the voice inside the meteorite!? Isn't that exactly the target he had been looking for?
Jirachi's awakening required the companionship of a partner it approved of, and Butler only needed to find that human so Jirachi could smoothly awaken.
After that, he could find a way to take Jirachi back, use its True Eye to absorb energy from the cosmic comet, and thereby complete his grand ambition—cloning Groudon!
It was also for this reason that Butler traveled around performing with the crystal block containing Jirachi, precisely hoping to find the person Jirachi approved of.
"So that's how it is! Hahaha, my apologies. Mightyena, stand down quickly!"
"Awoo..."
The grayish-black Mightyena drooped its ears and retreated to the side with its tail between its legs.
Lorze secretly rejoiced in his heart: Got it!
It's just that, his arrogant attitude turning respectful so quickly is truly laughable.
Butler solemnly took the beautiful purple crystal from Diane's hands and held it, showing a warm yet disgusting smile.
"It is said that Jirachi is a Pokémon that only awakens once every thousand years and possesses the ability to grant humans' wishes. Jirachi definitely needs a partner to wake up. Since you can hear the voice in the meteorite, you must have been chosen as its partner..."
Lorze was already familiar with these lore details, so he didn't listen to Butler's words at all, but directly tried to use telepathy to communicate with Jirachi.
"Hello there?"
"Hello, I am... Jirachi!"
It really responded! And her voice is so cute, with an ethereal feeling that seems to echo her birth.
"Young man, what is your name?" "Lorze."
"Alright then, Lorze, I will entrust Jirachi to you. I hope you can take responsibility and take good care of it during the time it is awake."
Solemnly receiving the purple crystal enclosing Jirachi, it wasn't as heavy as imagined. If assisted with telekinesis, he wouldn't even need to expend much effort to hold it.
"Yes, I will take good care of her, please rest assured!"
Butler smiled and nodded, while Diane beside him remained worried.
But for Lorze, it was a completely different story. The corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than an AK's recoil: I am not the weak Max. I will absolutely not let your plan succeed!
Watching the young man leave with the meteorite in his arms, Butler's right eyelid twitched.
I feel like something isn't right. What is this uneasy feeling... Forget it, I'm just scaring myself. What can a foolish college student do? Could he possibly have Legendary Pokémon? Heh!
"Butler, I..."
"Say no more, Diane! As long as Jirachi can smoothly awaken, the energy problem for cloning Groudon can be solved. I will prove to the world that I am right!"
Diane said nothing, just pressed her hand tightly against her chest: She and Butler were childhood friends. Butler wasn't like this before...
But after being mocked for failing due to lack of energy when presenting the cloned Groudon to Team Magma, he became as if possessed by a demon.
She didn't want him to lose himself for this goal, but...
On the other side, Lorze arrived outside the performance hall holding the meteorite. Ash and the other three seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Lorze? You finally came out!"
"Huh... isn't this the prop from the magic show just now?"
"Yes and no." Lorze smilingly stroked the object, as if he were holding a little baby instead of a meteorite.
"This is actually a Pokémon that only wakes up for seven days every thousand years—Jirachi! Calculating the time, she might wake up from the meteorite tonight."
The four of them stared at each other. This was the first time they had heard of something so bizarre...
Ash and Brock's acceptance level was obviously higher: Recalling the previous experience in Alto Mare, if it was Sir Lorze/Mr. Lorze, it didn't seem to be anything surprising.
But Lorze didn't tell them about Jirachi being able to "grant wishes"—because Jirachi's wish-granting follows the law of conservation of mass and energy. For example, in the movie, when Max wished for a lot of snacks, the final method of realization was to gather the snacks from the festival instead of creating them out of thin air.
Human desires are endless, and that will always invite disaster.
As for Lorze, at least for now, he only had one wish: and that was to let Jirachi stay awake normally all the time.
Because they had just finished watching the magic show, like completing some major task, everyone's sleepiness gradually surged.
"Actually, the night is the liveliest time. Why don't we all go rest now, and we'll gather again tonight, how about it?"
Lorze's proposal received unanimous approval. However, since there were no inns or guesthouses at the festival, they had to find an empty space to pitch their tents.
But Mewtwo threw a glance at the young man, who understood implicitly and followed her.
It was a sparsely populated highland with a good view, overlooking the entire amusement park.
"Big Sister Mewtwo, what's wrong?"
"I was thinking, since everyone needs to rest, there will be no one scouting the perimeter. After all, Jirachi is still here, we have to prevent people with ulterior motives from targeting her."
"That's true. Then... should we arrange for everyone to take shifts?"
Mewtwo pursed her lips, revealing a hint of a smile, and then transformed into Mega Mewtwo Y amidst rainbow-colored light!
Mega Mewtwo Y? Wait a minute, isn't Mega Mewtwo Y's ability Insomnia!? Could it be...
"As long as I maintain this form, I don't need to sleep. You and the younger sisters go get some good rest."
"But maintaining Mega Evolution consumes a lot of energy, right?"
Intertwining her large purple fingers with Lorze's, Mewtwo's voice became even gentler.
"So I have to borrow some power from you. Since it's only maintaining the lowest level of form change, it won't consume too much, and..."
She suddenly knelt on both knees under the dancing tree shadows.
"I heard boys all really like lap pillows... want to try?"
Lorze's eyes lit up: I couldn't ask for more!
He immediately lay down in his exclusive gentle sanctuary. Those legs were delicate, soft, and warm. Although slightly slender, they were just right to accommodate his head.
"How does it feel?" "So comfortable... I love Big Sister Mewtwo the most!"
Being liked by Lorze made Mewtwo very happy as well, and a girlish blush spread across her cheeks.
"Then... sweet dreams, honey❤~"
Leaning down to place a gentle kiss on the young man's forehead, Lorze held Mewtwo's hand with one hand, and held the purple crystal block protecting Jirachi in his other arm, falling asleep wrapped in happiness...
"Then... sweet dreams, honey❤~"
After leaning down to place a gentle kiss on the young man's forehead, Mega Mewtwo Y watched Lorze's gradually steady breathing, a trace of slyness and infatuation flashing in her purple eyes. Of course, she wouldn't be satisfied with just a forehead kiss. Taking advantage of the other girls sleeping soundly, this tranquil night and the privilege of insomnia were exactly the perfect opportunity for her to monopolize her lover.
Mewtwo Y gently undid Lorze's belt, unzipped his pants, and released that thick meat rod that was half-erect due to his deep sleep. Even in slumber, this giant object still radiated astonishing heat and a strong masculine aura.
She lowered her petite and exquisite body. The tip of her pink tongue, carrying a warm wetness, licked all the way up along the bulging veins at the base of the meat rod, finally taking that massive glans into her mouth.
Slurp... slurp...
In the quiet woods, besides the chirping of summer insects, there was only the lewd sound of Mewtwo Y swallowing and sucking. She wasn't in a hurry to swallow and spit, but instead used the coating of her tongue to carefully trace the outline of the coronal sulcus. The soft meat on the inner walls of her mouth gently wrapped around Lorze's sensitive spots like warm water. Following her teasing, that meat rod rapidly engorged, expanded, and grew hard as iron in her mouth.
The sleeping Lorze unconsciously let out a muffled groan, his body slightly tensing in the ultimate comfort. Seeing this, Mewtwo Y let out a satisfied light chuckle from deep within her throat, then swallowed the entire giant object deep into her throat. Utilizing her powerful lung capacity and telekinesis support, she created a suffocating vacuum suction inside her mouth, every swallow and spit going straight to the depths of her throat.
Half-asleep and half-awake, Lorze only felt his lower body wrapped in a ball of warm, wet, ultimate pleasure. This drifting, euphoric physiological joy directly affected his subconscious, bringing him into an incredibly sweet dream.
Lorze had a dream.
On the familiar lawn of the courtyard, Jirachi and the other wives sat in a circle eating an open-air lunch. Then the little cutie picked up an apple, turned around, and waved at him repeatedly.
Her small body and big head looked adorably goofy. That was a cute smile capable of healing a whole day's unhappiness.
"Lorze! Come here quickly!"
That's right, the cute Wishing Star didn't fall asleep, nor was she sent back to Forina. Instead, she broke the restriction of the thousand-year cycle and lived happily together with everyone.
But when Lorze ran towards the picnic mat and reached out his hand to Jirachi, her image instantly shattered.
Before he could indulge in the beautiful dream a little longer, the young man was awakened by a pushing sensation, and a gentle voice entered his ears.
"Honey, wake up."
"Mmh... Big Sister Mewtwo?"
Slowly opening his eyes to focus his vision, Lorze's eyes abruptly widened.
Like a famous scene from Your Name, the pitch-black sky canopy and the dazzling comet came into view. The entire galaxy paled under the cover of this radiance.
The beautiful night sky was moving, but Lorze suddenly thought, since the Millennium Comet had appeared, didn't that mean Jirachi was about to awaken?
Sure enough, the purple crystal in his arms had started to act strangely: from the faint glimmer at the beginning, it finally shone with a light as bright as day! At the same time, the earth's vein energy also gathered towards the purple crystal in the form of rings of white light...
Mewtwo had also only awakened Lorze after sensing Jirachi was about to wake up. Actually, she would have preferred him to sleep a little longer.
"The stars, the stars are calling me!"
Harboring an excited mood, the young man stood up from Mewtwo's lap and released his other wives from their Poké Balls as well: "Everyone, come out!"
A series of red and white lights flashed, and the alluring or cute girls rubbed their sleepy eyes one after another.
Although being forcefully booted up brought a bit of morning grogginess, after seeing the light of the crystal, everyone's resentment dissipated for the most part, replaced by gazes of expectation and curiosity.
Under everyone's gaze, that crystal slowly floated into mid-air, thread-like energy seeping out.
Finally, Jirachi was born amidst a burst of white light.
[Jirachi ♀]
The pink female symbol overjoyed Lorze: Great, it's a little sister, we are saved!
However, how exactly to calculate Jirachi's age was also a mystery: Since her birth, perhaps thousands or tens of thousands of years had passed, but she could only stay awake for seven days each time, so she was probably considered a legal loli...
But mentally, she was undoubtedly immature, so it was better to treat her as a little sister.
Jirachi's small body was tightly wrapped by the ribbons behind her, just like a baby in swaddling clothes.
Falling like a leaf, the ribbons also untied, and Jirachi was caught in Lorze's arms.
Although Jirachi's data in the Pokédex only showed a body length of 30 centimeters, that thing was just for reference anyway, not to mention every individual had more or less some variations.
This Jirachi was about half a meter long, just slightly smaller than the little catgirl...
Lorze meant to say: Humans can, at least one should try, even if the other party is steel or stone.
Perhaps because of her Steel typing, her body was both soft and sturdy, possessing an indescribable, wondrous feeling. And beneath her baby-fat, fair face, her sleeping visage was perfect.
However, the top of Jirachi's star-shaped pointed head indeed reflected a metallic luster, making it easy to associate with Serene Grace Iron Head Jirachi—if you were lucky enough, you could flinch the opponent to death, not letting them unleash a single move.
Clearly having such a cute appearance, yet such a dirty playstyle, it's truly disgusting!
Jirachi also opened her large, beautiful eyes, raising her head with a hint of small confusion to look at the young man.
"Hello there, Jirachi? My name is Lorze."
"Lorze?"
Jirachi's large eyes blinked; she was still very unfamiliar with this name.
But his arms were very warm, and exuded an aura that fascinated Jirachi, giving her a feeling of instinctively wanting to rely on and get close to him.
So Jirachi rubbed her chubby little face against Lorze's chest: So warm~
The Pokémon beside Lorze were also stunned by this sight: A little sister was born from the meteorite, and a very cute little sister at that!
The gentle autumn breeze brushed past, carrying the chirping of insects, but everyone's attention was entirely focused on the newly appeared little life.
"Is this the new little wife?"
"Uh, if possible, I'd like that, but..."
But Jirachi only had seven days of waking time. If he couldn't find a way to keep her awake, they would definitely have to part.
Lorze couldn't help but think of the dream he just had. If only that were true...
No, I will definitely find a way to turn that dream into reality!
"Lorze, Lorze, Lorze!"
The little cutie's voice pulled Lorze back to reality. Jirachi was already floating in the air using telekinesis, taking his hand with her tiny hands.
"Play, play with Jirachi!"
"Of course!"
At least before that, I will definitely spend a relaxing and joyful time with Jirachi, and establish a deep bond~
Picking Jirachi up and placing her on his left shoulder, she seemed very receptive to it: Rather than floating in the air herself, she preferred sitting on Lorze's shoulder!
Meowstic also nimbly climbed onto Lorze's right shoulder. This way, two little cuties were sitting on the young man's shoulders. The heavy feeling wasn't just their weight, but also responsibility and love~
Right at this moment, the voices of Ash's group came from not far away.
"Did something happen!? Huh... why is Mr. Lorze here?"
"It's Ash, ah... everyone is here, what's wrong?"
"We saw rings of white light moving towards this direction on the ground, so we followed them..." "Pika?"
"I see~ Actually, it's because Jirachi's awakening caused the earth's vein energy to change direction! It's this one on my shoulder."
Jirachi... is that purple crystal Lorze was holding during the day? It actually turned into a Pokémon like this? Truly incredible!
Ash and the other three were shocked to see the current Jirachi. May's girlish heart burst even more, exclaiming, "So cute!".
The Wishing Star on his left shoulder tilted her head in confusion at the newcomers, showing a somewhat goofy expression.
"Hehe~ These are Ash, Brock, May, and Max. They are all very good people. Jirachi can also be friends with them."
"Ash, Brock, May, Max... be friends!"
Ash's group looked at each other in dismay: A talking Pokémon? This is... telepathy!
"Speaking of which, the festival is at its liveliest right now. How about we all go play together? Bringing Jirachi along!"
"Play together, play together!"
Then let's take the little cutie who only wakes up for seven days every thousand years, and go enjoy the liveliness of the festival right now~
