Populus euphratica did not go crazy and let the Lightning Bird fly to the Farnes area in one go.
When passing through some cities and plains along the way, he would ask the Lightning Bird to stop and rest.
The lightning bird in the sky flew towards the north at an extremely fast speed, and a white figure on the ground followed closely behind, not wanting to lag behind.
Because he knew that the end of this trip would be the moment of separation, Gengar cherished every minute and second he spent with Jirachi.
Jirachi has always been happy.
When Populus euphratica stays on the grassland and encounters other trainers who come to challenge it, it will secretly help Axetodon and Fire Dinosaur, and blatantly cheat them in the battle.
After being discovered by the opponent's trainer, Jirachi immediately naughtily hid behind Populus euphratica.
Hu Yang: "..."
He was also very helpless about Jirachi's behavior.
After finally sending the passerby trainer away, Jirachi felt sleepy again because of the use of power.
Seeing this, Populus euphratica wanted it to go to sleep, but Jirachi forced himself not to close his eyes, and then sat on Populus euphratica's shoulders, happily watching the beautiful scenery with him as the wind blew across the grassland.
Four days is a short time or a long time.
On the first day after leaving Weibai Town, Hu Yang brought Gengar and Jirachi to Fuyan Town. They happened to catch up with Fuyan Town holding a volcano celebration, and they ate Fuyanxian together in the hot spring filled with white mist.
Watching fireworks by the beach.
The next day, they left Fuyan Town and headed north. It rained in the evening. Populus euphratica and a few Pokémon hid in the cave in embarrassment, chatting around the bonfire and listening to the sound of rain outside.
Then enter dreamland.
On the third day, the rain stopped and the sky became clear. At night, stars twinkled all over the sky.
Populus euphratica and Jirachi sat on the mountain peak and looked up at the stars.
There was only one day left before Jirachi fell into deep sleep. At this moment, Hu Yang felt a rare peace in his heart.
Jirachi sat on Gengar's head, looked at the stars, turned his head and looked at Populus euphratica, and asked a question that Populus euphratica had not thought of.
It asked: "Popular euphratica, do you have any wishes that you want to realize?"
Hearing this, Hu Yang was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Jirachi.
Jirachi's little face still had an innocent and relaxed expression, as if what it just asked was not what your wishes were, but something as simple as whether you had eaten today.
Hu Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "My wish is that Jirachi does not have to sleep for another thousand years and can make more good friends."
Jiraqi blinked his eyes, his little face was full of embarrassment, and said: "Jiraqi can't do this..."
After saying that, it raised its head again and looked over seriously, "It's a wish you want to realize, tell me!"
"I don't want anything." Hu Yang shook his head with a smile.
In his opinion, Jirachi's use of the "wishes" ability will make it feel sleepy and fall asleep.
There was only a little more than seven days left, and Hu Yang didn't want to see Jirachi fall asleep before they reached Farnes.
But who knows, when Jirachi heard this answer, he lost his temper and pretended to be angry: "If you don't tell me, I will ignore you!"
Hu Yang raised his eyebrows, feeling very interesting when he saw Jirachi looking like this.
He turned his head and looked at the stars in the sky, thinking about it, and then said after a while: "Then give me three sticks of ice cream!"
"This doesn't count!" Jirachi still shook his head and said stubbornly: "This is not your real wish!"
Hu Yang was happy and took Jirachi off Gengar's head, held it up and said, "But you can't fulfill my real wish!"
"Who says it can't be done?" Kiraqi asked.
"Okay." Hu Yang said with a smile: "Then let Jirachi be happy forever!"
Jirachi curled his lips, broke away from his hand, returned to Gengar's head, and made a face at him: "I won't talk to you anymore."
Even though he said this, Jirachi still fulfilled his previous wish for Hu Yang and conjured three ice creams.
Hu Yang looked at the ice cream in his hand, smiled softly, and then reached out and stuffed one into each of Jirachi's and Gengar's hands.
After he finished, he took out another three dollars from his pocket and prayed to Kira: "Take this to where you get the ice cream."
Jirachi snorted in dissatisfaction, but still followed Hu Yang's instructions and sent the three dollars back.
At the same time, in an unknown town in the wild.
Sirona, who was traveling in the Hoenn region while investigating the history and mythology here, calmly stared at the three coins in front of her, lost in thought.
The three different flavors of ice cream she finally picked out are missing...
…
After delivering the ice cream, Jirachi felt sleepy again as before.
Populus euphratica held it in her arms, wiped its mouth stained with butter, and said, "Go to sleep."
Jirachi closed his eyes in peace.
Another mountain peak.
Absol squatted on the ground and silently looked at this scene.
After a while, it stood up and ran further north.
The fourth day after leaving Weibai Town is also the last day of seven days.
Populus euphratica finally arrived at the legendary Farnes area at noon.
He held Jirachi who was about to fall asleep, with a backpack behind him and Gengar floating next to him, and walked into this vibrant area.
Not long after, a desert dragonfly appeared in front of us.
It did not attack Populus euphratica, but quietly looked at the small figure in his arms.
Like the desert dragonflies, they stood still and looked at Jirachi quietly.
Everyone came to greet Jirachi.
Hu Yang watched this scene silently.
At this time, Jirachi in his arms suddenly opened his eyes and asked in a very soft voice:
"Hu Yang, can I see you again?"
Hu Yang: "..."
Human life is short. By the time Jirachi opens his eyes again, he should no longer be in this world.
Of the Pokémon around him, probably only Gengar can survive until that time, right?
However, Populus euphratica did not say these words to Jirachi.
He just smiled and said: "Don't worry, we will definitely meet again."
"Well..." After hearing this, Jirachi closed his eyes gently.
At this time, Absol's figure also appeared on the steep slope ahead.
It looked at Jirachi quietly, then turned around and led the way.
Populus euphratica and Gengar followed, passing through a stone forest covered with green moss, and followed the path to a spacious and open rock cave.
Absol stopped and looked back at Jirachi.
Jirachi slowly opened his eyes and floated out of Populus euphratica's arms. A layer of purple crystals began to spread from Jiraqi's body.
"Goodbye, Populus euphratica~"
Jirachi's voice sounded in the heart of Hu Yang.
The next second, Jirachi returned to his appearance when Populus euphratica saw it for the first time.
Then, a ray of light lit up and sank straight into the ground.
Peace soon returned to the empty cave.
Geng Gui looked at this scene and said in despair: "Kou Jie..."
Hu Yang touched Geng Gui's head and comforted him: "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to meet again in the future."
"Kou Jie..."
After sending Jirachi to the place, Populus euphratica and Gengar did not leave immediately.
They found a cliff that was very high enough to have a panoramic view of the entire Farnes area. They stood there and looked at the entire Farnes area, looking at the area nurtured by Jirachi.
"Good night, Jirachi." Hu Yang said silently in his heart.
…
at the same time.
At the weather research institute in the Hoenn area.
A researcher looked at the observation records in his hand expectantly and said to his colleagues: "There are only four years left until the arrival of the Millennium Comet. This is so exciting!"
"Yeah!" The colleague nodded, looked at the sky outside, and murmured: "I heard that during the seven days when the Millennium Comet arrives, fold a wishing star every day and stick to it until the last day, and your wish will come true.
Woolen cloth!"
"Probably! Didn't I remember that there is a Pokémon called the Wish Star of the Seven Nights? It will wake up during the time when the Millennium Comet arrives!" the researcher said excitedly:
"I heard that if you make a wish to it during that time, any wish will come true! It would be great if I could meet it!"
…
When Hu Yang returned to Weibai Town, the time had already reached February 25, Year 0 in the alliance calendar.
With the arrival of spring, new trainers who are over ten years old are finally qualified to receive a starter Pokémon of their own and embark on a journey with it.
For a time, an atmosphere of anticipation and excitement filled the major towns.
Really new town.
Today is the day for new trainers to receive their initial Pokémon.
"Ash, it's time to get up! If you don't get up, you won't have time to get the starter Pokémon!"
Early in the morning, Hanako stood in front of Xiaozhi's room and knocked on the door to remind him.
However, after knocking for a long time, there was no movement inside.
The door was locked, and Hanako couldn't push it open, so she had no choice but to give up. She sighed helplessly and said, "This kid..." Then she turned and went downstairs.
In the room, Xiaozhi was lying on the bed, fast asleep.
Last night, because he was about to receive his starting Pokémon, he didn't sleep much all night. He was always torn between Charmander, Bulbasaur or Squirtle.
I didn't fall asleep until early in the morning, and in my dream I had a sweet dream about traveling with Pokémon.
"Come on! Charmander, use spark attack!" Xiaozhi said something in his sleep.
The next second, as if he realized something, he opened his eyes suddenly, only to find that it was already bright outside the window.
Xiaozhi quickly picked up the alarm clock and took a look at the time. After seeing the current time, his expression changed.
Then he hurriedly got out of bed, got dressed, and ran straight downstairs, shouting: "Oops! We're going to be late!"
When passing by the living room, he saw Hanako who was cleaning the living room. Xiaozhi said quickly: "Mom, I'm going out!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiaozhi was no longer in the room.
Hanako sighed helplessly again.
Dr. Ohki Research Institute.
When Xiaozhi rushed there, he received the news that all the new Pokémon prepared had been collected by other trainers.
Hearing this, Xiaozhi showed a disappointed and sad expression on his face.
Seeing this scene, Dr. Oki, who was eating instant noodles, seemed to have remembered something, and said to Xiaozhi: "But it's not nothing, there is another Pokémon in the research institute, but that Pokémon is a bit special...
"
Xiaozhi's eyes became bright again.
Dr. Omu stood up, took out a red and white ball with a lightning mark from the table, and said: "Here, it's this little guy!"
Xiaozhi took it and threw the elf ball out with a handsome gesture.
In a ray of white light, a Pikachu appeared in front of the two of them.
"It's Pikachu!" Xiaozhi said happily. He squatted down and reached out to touch Pikachu's head: "Pikachu, please take care of me in the future!"
"Danger!" Dr. Omu on the side saw his reckless move and immediately wanted to stop him.
But it was too late.
The next second, a strong electric current surged from both sides of Pikachu's cheeks.
Xiaozhi's whole body was hit by this current, and his whole body became charred and black, and he fell to the ground.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu turned his head and seemed to be humming.
Right now, it still doesn't recognize this human being.
…
Weibai Town.
Hu Yang, who took off his heavy winter clothes and put on a light and simple shirt and jacket, sat on the sofa, looked at Marchado sitting on the sofa opposite, and asked:
"I have passed the tests of Suicune and Entei, now only the test of Raikou is left, right?"
Masha nodded: "Masha."
Hu Yang raised his eyebrows and asked: "Then where is Thunder Lord now? Do you need me to take the initiative to find it?"
Mashado shook his head and said telepathically: "No need, on your way to Tianqing Mountain, it will automatically appear next to you after sensing your location."
"Oh." Hu Yang nodded thoughtfully, "There is one more question."
Machado looked at him.
"That is, will I still see Suicune and Entei on the way to Tianqing Mountain?"
Marchado seemed not to have expected this question. It was stunned for a moment and did not answer immediately. Instead, it asked: "Do you really want to see them?"
Hu Yang nodded honestly: "That's weird."
After experiencing the Jirachi incident, he felt empty in his heart, and this state lasted for a long time.
This made Hu Yang realize that sometimes, unknowingly, he and some Pokémon may never see each other again after parting ways.
Suicune, who accompanied him to the desert, was always gentle, and Entei, who carried him all night, with a majestic face...
If they weren't unwilling, Populus euphratica would want to catch them and keep them at home, so that they can stay together every day.
Marshado, who felt this idea: "..."
Come, come, the guy it is familiar with is finally back!
Machado breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably and replied: "You can see them, they will show up."
"That's good." Hu Yang felt relieved and began to prepare energy cubes for Emperor Yan and Sui Jun together with King Dude.
