Chapter 132: Wishing Star Jirachi! It Can Grant Wishes!

Farns is the name of a region characterized by Shi Ying sandstone peak forests.

Farns lies southwest of Chimney Mountain and directly north of Fuyan Town.

Under the telekinetic flight of Mega Mewtwo Y, the three of Mamen arrived in the Farns region by afternoon.

The environment of Farns is extremely superior; the forests are lush and flourishing, and various kinds of Pokémon inhabit the woods, thriving in prosperity.

"So beautiful. It feels like the plants here grow especially well."

Lillie sniffed the fragrance of the air, gazing at the surrounding environment with astonishment.

"Mm, this place isn't particularly far from Chimney Mountain, yet the plants here grow too well."

【7】 Caitlin agreed strongly; after all, Chimney Mountain is a dormant volcano, and volcanic ash has been falling continuously without interruption.

Cordelia readily agreed—Chimney Hill was, after all, a dormant volcano, and volcanic ash had been falling without interruption.

This also causes the temperatures near Chimney Mountain to be relatively high, preventing plants from growing very lushly.

But this Farns region is clearly different.

"That is because a Pokémon has been continuously feeding energy into this land vein, which is why Farns is so prosperous."

Mamen plucked two bright red big apples from a fruit tree, wiped them, and handed them to Caitlin and Lillie, smiling as he replied.

"Qiqi~!"

Tapu Fini acted spoiled upon seeing this.

"Okay, okay, okay, you have one too."

Mamen couldn't help Young Lady Shell; this child simply didn't like staying inside its Poké Ball very much and always ran out on its own.

Mamen had also discovered that although it looked aloof and cold, among Mamen's current main force, Tapu Fini was actually the most clingy.

Mamen plucked two more and handed them over to Tapu Fini.

"Qi~" Tapu Fini squinted its eyes in satisfaction, held the apple up, took a bite, and emitted a joyful soft chirp.

"A Pokémon did this? How amazing."

Lillie was astonished by the strength of this Pokémon; a single Pokémon supplying the vitality and energy for such a vast area?

That is truly amazing.

"Mm, its name is Jirachi, a legendary Mythical Pokémon." Mamen nodded.

A legendary Pokémon... then it's no wonder.

Lillie blinked her eyes; she now had a concept of legendary Pokémon.

"Legend says that if Jirachi hears a clear song once every 1,000 years, it can remain awake for seven days. Moreover, there is one very wonderful thing about the legend of Jirachi."

The corners of Mamen's mouth slowly rose.

"It is said that when it wakes from its cocoon of slumber, it will grant the wish written on the wish tag on its head; any wish at all."

Mamen specifically emphasized this point.

"Is this true?"

"Eh? Can it really grant any wish?"

Both Caitlin and Lillie were stunned; a Pokémon that can grant other people's wishes? Does such a thing really exist?

"Whether any wish can be granted is unknown, but normal wishes should be no problem." Mamen said with a smile.

Any wish... that is perhaps too much trouble for the cute baby Jirachi.

Jirachi itself relies on energy to fulfill others' wishes; for instance, in the movie, the villain Butler stole Jirachi the first time, but failed because Jirachi had not absorbed enough comet energy.

The second time Butler seized Jirachi, Jirachi absorbed comet energy while reviving 'Groudon' according to Butler's wish.

However, in the end, because Ash interrupted, Jirachi stopped the energy, causing 'Groudon' not to fully revive, but instead creating a 'Land Monster'.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that Mamen doesn't know what Butler was thinking; if you can't fly and aren't dead, why take a scale (that can't fly) to Jirachi to revive something that can't fly?

If Groudon knew, it would thank your whole family.

Comet energy cannot be without limits; Mamen pondered that if he wished for an alpaca from Jirachi, baby Jirachi would probably throw three question marks back at him.

An alpaca is definitely out of the question; I wonder if wishing for a shiny Rayquaza would work, or a shiny Zygarde?

Speaking of which, Mamen remembers that in the Pokémon anime 'Horizons', a shiny Rayquaza and a shiny Zygarde were caught by people; there's no reason they couldn't be caught by him.

"A Mythical Pokémon that can grant wishes..."

Caitlin's eyes shimmered slightly; she didn't have any particularly grand wishes.

If there must be one, it would be to become stronger! And... to become Mamen's main wife!

To let those seductive cheap women who flirt with Mamen all day long know the deterrent power of her status as Mamen's main wife!

'If I wish to Jirachi for Mamen (Mr.) to fall in love with me, I wonder if that can be done.'

Unconsciously, Caitlin and Lillie's Woman's Thoughts were exactly the same at this moment.

"Then, Mr. Mamen, are we going to find Jirachi?"

Lillie's spirits immediately soared; she thought the appearance of this Jirachi was simply wonderful!

"Of course. I checked; the comet that comes once every 1,000 years is arriving soon. At that time, we just need to let Jirachi hear a clear song to wake it up." Mamen said with a smile.

Actually, according to Butler's explanation in the movie, waking Jirachi requires a destined person with a pure heart; otherwise, it will sleep for another 1,000 years.

But it is worth mentioning that in the movie, the one who finally woke Jirachi was May's singing.

However, it is true that Max also heard Jirachi's telepathy while it was asleep from the very beginning.

"A song? I think I should be able to do it!"

Lillie was full of drive; she was the woman who blew a flute to evolve a Cosmog into Lunala!

"Mm, if it is Lillie, there will definitely be no problem." Mamen replied with a smile.

This is also why he brought Lillie to Farns; in Mamen's view, whether it is a pure heart or a clear song, Lillie meets the conditions.

If it really doesn't work, he could have Mega Mewtwo Y give the sleeping Jirachi a 'wake-up' service; if it can wake up from hearing a song, using Dark-type energy, which Psychic-type Pokémon are more sensitive to, should be no problem either?

He really wanted to see Jirachi's limits!

Most importantly, he actually quite liked Jirachi; this Wish Star baby was truly adorable.

He wondered if, after Jirachi was captured, it would fall into a deep sleep again, or perhaps during this period, he should prevent Jirachi from overusing its energy?

After all, once energy was used, Jirachi seemed to grow weary and fall into sleep to restore its spirit, which was quite mysterious.

Hearing Mamen's words, Lillie felt a bit shy, yet her smile was extremely charming.

Caitlin glanced at Lillie, remaining very calm; this girl definitely had ulterior motives regarding Mamen!

But it didn't matter; debts didn't weigh one down, and besides, a mere girl who wasn't a Trainer, Caitlin hadn't even taken her seriously.

It was just letting Mamen experience a new car, treating it as practice; as long as she didn't become insatiable like Flannery and last for three hours, it would be fine.

The three continued forward and finally arrived before an underground valley.

And at this moment, two people were already waiting there.

"Butler, right?"

Mamen looked at the purple-haired youth in white robes; this person was indeed Butler, a very famous Magician by profession.

But in fact, he had previously served as a scientist for Team Magma, only to be abandoned by them later, and this humiliation had been etched in his heart ever since.

"Who are you?"

Butler narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Flannery won't be coming; she is unwell today."

"What?"

Butler's face instantly turned extremely ugly; he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Indeed, even Flannery didn't believe him?

Butler had originally thought that Flannery, being a scientist as well, should have been able to understand his thoughts.

"Don't misunderstand; it isn't that I look down on you. Don't let that sensitive pride control your brain." Mamen saw right through Butler's thoughts.

This guy was purely driven by intense pride onto the wrong path; no, people who could collude with Team Magma in the first place weren't normal to begin with.

"?" Butler was stunned by these words.

"Come to think of it, you seem not to know yet? Team Magma is gone now."

"What?"

Butler was shocked; Team Magma was already gone? What did that mean?

"Literally, Team Magma has been annihilated and absorbed by us. Personally, I quite admire your abilities; if you are willing, you can join us, and I can give you a bigger stage to display your talents."

Mamen was in a good mood at this moment, and to be honest, although Butler was a bit twisted, his talents were indeed excellent.

Besides, he was himself a top-tier Magician; whether used to make money for the organization or for research, there was room for him to shine.

"..."

Butler's expression fluctuated; at this moment, his thoughts were incredibly complex.

He had worked so hard, investigating and flipping through so much data, just to find Jirachi's slumbering place.

He had originally thought he would soon prove his theory correct and slap the faces of those who mocked him hard.

But now they told him that Team Magma was already dead?

Then what did all his years of effort amount to? Butler now felt as though all his passion had been fed to a dog.

"Think it over carefully; give me your answer later." Mamen understood that Butler was probably having a mental storm right now.

"Mewtwo."

"It's just inside."

The purple flames in the armored Mewtwo's eyes flickered; it could sense a special aura within the valley.

The three of Mamen walked in; the valley was quite cool inside. The armored Mewtwo raised an arm, the stone wall cracked open, and a purple crystal was controlled by the armored Mewtwo's psychic powers to float up.

"Is this Jirachi?"

Both Caitlin and Lillie looked at the floating purple crystal stone with great curiosity.

"That's right, but it is still asleep and hasn't awakened yet."

Mamen caught the crystal and said with a smile.

"It is truly amazing."

Lillie couldn't help but sigh, because it really was wonderful.

It wakes up only once every thousand years and can still grant others' wishes; Lillie didn't even know how to describe it.

"This world is just so 'mysterious'."

Mamen chuckled lightly and pondered for a moment while looking at the purple crystal.

Green light lit up from Mamen's hand; the natural power of Viridian constantly flowed into this purple stone.

However, the purple stone seemed to have no reaction at all, and Mamen didn't hear any adorable telepathy in his ears.

But it did seem a bit more crystal-clear and bright, that was true.

"Tsk~ As expected, even the power of Viridian doesn't work; is it sleeping that soundly?"

Mamen couldn't help but tsk, stopping the flow of Viridian power into the stone; this sleeping little guy not responding was one thing, but the energy was indeed completely absorbed by it.

Truly greedy.

"Forget it, we'll deal with it when the Millennium Comet arrives."

Mamen threw the stone into his spatial backpack; since there were no signs of awakening now, there was no rush.

Returning outside the valley, Mamen found Butler and his childhood friend Diane still standing there, but Butler seemed to have calmed down.

"Mr., may I ask your honorable name?"

Butler walked over; with Team Magma already dead, his obsession with Jirachi had suddenly diminished greatly.

After all, his pursuit of Jirachi was originally to prove that his thoughts were correct and to slap the faces of those in Team Magma who mocked him hard.

"Mammon, what? Have you thought it through?" Mammon raised an eyebrow.

"Is Lady Hinoarashi now your subordinate?"

"That is correct."

"Not only Hinoarashi; the former leader of the Magma Team, Maxie, is also under my command. Butler, I won't paint you empty promises."

Mammon stated bluntly.

"As long as you join us, I believe that with your abilities, you will have a bright future. By then, stepping on the heads of those who once mocked you will not be impossible."

Butler's breathing instantly quickened; this was an temptation he could not refuse.

"Please allow me to join!"

"Very well. You may contact Hinoarashi; she will arrange a position for you. This time, thanks to your intelligence, I will have Hinoarashi treat you favorably."

"Thank you, my lord Mammon."

Butler bowed elegantly to Mammon; he was, after all, an outstanding magician.

"Please allow me to express my humble gratitude to you."

Butler produced a magician's hat, swept his hand around it twice, and then pulled out a bouquet of beautiful, vibrant roses from the hat.

"I believe your female companion will be very happy."

Butler stepped back with great elegance; he felt this move of his was simply brilliant!

Gaining the favor of both Mammon and his girlfriend at the same time—perfect!

"You rascal."

Mammon's smile faded at the corner of his mouth as he accepted the rose, then looked toward Caitlin and Lillie.

Lillie lowered her head in slight embarrassment, while Caitlin's cheeks also flushed slightly; she shifted her gaze slightly and turned her head to look the other way.

But in reality, the expectant glances from the corners of their eyes had never ceased.

Emmm...

Who should this flower be given to?

Mammon broke out in a cold sweat. That damn Butler! He would definitely have Hinoarashi give you a hard time!

"Wow~ Such a beautiful flower! Can you give it to me?"
