Chapter 257: 257. Jirachi: Wish Maker 6
On the sixth day after the Millennium Comet first appeared, Ash and his group drove through the outer Valley and finally arrived at their destination!
The Farnia Forest!
The landform here was very unique. It is difficult to imagine what kind of natural creation can form such a unique style. This should be a forbidden area for humans and a paradise for Pokémon.
The group of people slowly walked in. The Pokémon here were not really that afraid of people. Even when they saw Ash and others walking by, they just didn't care enough and went on with their day.
An Altaria flew among the treetops with a bunch of Swablu's behind it, and a huge Tropius stretched its neck to eat the fruits of the trees higher up.
There were also a bunch of Nuzleaf's, Breloom's, Vibrava's just chilling around the area.
"I like it here!" This was somehoe Jirachi's highest compliment for beautiful things.
"I like it here too!" Ash said, throwing out two of his Ultra Balls, "Come out, Latias! Latios!"
That's right, in addition to his Suicune and Tyranitar, Ash had also brought his two Eon Pokémon's from the Lab this time.
As soon as Latias came out, she happily rubbed Ash's face. Ralts jumped on Latias's back. They became good friends just after seeing each other for the first time.
After all, the two of them all loved Ash very much.
"Latios, take them to play, don't go too far from me!"
Knowing that he would definitely come to such a beautiful place, Ash exchanged for them, not only do they like this but their combat power has also improved a lot since few months ago.
"It's a Latias and a Latios!" Max exclaimed loudly, looking at the Eon siblings with bright stars in their eyes, "Big Bro, you not only have a Suicune, but you also have a Latios and a Latias! It's so cool, I can actually see them both at the same time!"
Ash looked at him and glanced at Latios, "Go ahead and have fun for now."
Their hiking speed was much slower than their walking speed. Although they hot ready and walked all day long, they didn't reach their final destination, so they had to camp down again. This was also the last night that Max and Jirachi could be together, so Max refused to go sleep.
As a child, it wasn't really fine to stay up all night as this could be very detrimental to him.
And sure enough the next day when they continued on the road after breakfast, Max looked very tired and was needed to be hit by Ash several times to stay awake.
"Big Bro, please stop hitting me, I don't even feel asleep but you still hit meee!" Max covered his head and begged for mercy, but Ash did finally stop.
Max looked up and saw that same Absol, who had disappeared for several days now, appeared in front of them again. He glanced at Ash, who had motioned for the group to follow it.
But even with Absol leading the way, the group walked for a whole day, and it wasn't until the sky was filled with the orange sunset that they arrived at their final destination.
This is the deepest part of the Farnia Forest, and it is also the place where Butler discovered the crystallization form of Jirachi.
"Look at that!" Max suddenly exclaimed. The huge Tropius landed at the entrance of the cave. The Pokémon in the forest gathered around him, seeming to welcome Jirachi's return here.
But Ash's attention was focused on a Flygon that flew down!
This is the evolved form of Vibrava, with the dual Ground-type and Dragon-type. Not only does it look very cool, but it also has the strength to back up its powerful types. This makes Flygon a very reliable Pokémon.
Flygins have one natural immunity to a type, which is the Electric-type because of its own Ground-type.
The other is not because of its type, but because of it's ability. Flygon as a very good ability, known as Levitate. This makes it almost have a full immunity to Ground-type attacks.
Not only that, because of its defensive Dragon and Ground-types, Flygon also had many resistances. But such a weakness cannot hide its resistance, which is so powerful that even Steel-type Pokémon would envy it!
In terms of weaknesses, its weakness is the common weakness of all Dragon-type Pokémon's, which is their own Dragon-type, as well as the Fairy-type and Ice-type. The Ice-type has a particularly significant effect on it because of his dual types.
Not only that, because of its defensive Dragon-type and Ground-types, Flygon also had many resistances. But such a weakness cannot hide its full resistance, which was so strong that even most Steel-type Pokémon's were not at good at this.
Additionally, Flygons were also known to be amongst the Pokémon's that are known to be very good at flying with humans. They could flap their wings so violently that they could create a sandstorm to hide their body and attack from most directions.
This Flygon was the closest one to the main cave entrance. In terms of status, it was obviously one of the strongest Pokémon's in this closef off forest.
Ash decided to not take any any actions and followed Diane into the Cave where they originally discovered Jirachi.
Diane turned on their hanging lamp, and the Ralts on Ash's shoulder also used her Flash skill.
There was a large crack above the deepest part of the cave. Looking up from the crack, they could see the Millennium Comet in the starry sky. This is where Jirachi was lived for a thousand years.
It was supposed to wake up here, and then receive the power of the Millennium Comet here. After waking up for 7 days, it would fall asleep again, but was brought out from here by Butler before she could wake up.
Jirachi was supposed to need a pure hearted young human to wake up, however, because of all the kind Pokémon's in the forest like Flygon and Absol, he wouldn't need a human. But since he was taken away, he needed a humans helps to wake up.
Absol brought everyone here, stood under the crack, glanced over at Ash, and then returned to the darkness.
Jirachi looked up at the Millennium Comet in the crack, "The stars were calling out to me!"
It flew up from Max's head and floated into the air.
Seeing Max's reluctance, Ash gently put his hand on his shoulder, "That is Jirachi's mission. The thing he was born to do."
"Ash, you really are not simple. Butler searched through countless things to understand this, and you detected it at with just a glance." Hearing Ash's words, Diane immediately looked at Ash with fascination and admiration.
"The Eye of Truth is about to open!" Ash looked at Jirachi floating in the air, facing the comet in the sky.
"That's right, when Jirachi summons energy from the Millennium Comet, it will open the Eye of Truth. During his thousand years of sleeping, Jirachi will inject the energy absorbed from the comet into the earth bit by bit. It's because of this that Farnia is able to have such rich green land!"
This was the real use of the Eye of Truth, but Butler wants to intercept this part of the energy and use it to do something as dangerous as creating an artificial Groudon.
Ask realized that once Jirachi releases the energy that he obtained from the comet into something else, the place where Fatnia is will lose all the nourishment of the comet's energy, the greenery here will wither greatly in an instant because of the sudden shift, and the place where Pokémon rely on for survival will be reduced.
If the energy was going go away, it had to be in a steady stream. But if Butlers plan had worked, the sudden shift would make sure no living thing escaped here.
The power of a Mythical Pokémon like Jirachi cannot be used casually like that. If it was, the planet will die off sooner or later.
The Eye of Truth in Jirachi's abdomen had finally been opened, but a green halo was suddenly released from Ash's neck.
"Ash, what's that on your neck?" May was the first to notice this situation.
This was the GS Ball Ash had with him, and there was a young Celebi sleeping inside of it. When they were in Johto Region, Ash was finally able to open the ball after a lot of trouble, but since then, his Celebi had been sleeping inside, and it was rare to wake up!
This time, the GS Ball opened, and a small pixe flew out of it.
"What Pokémon is that? It looks a bit like Jirachi!" Max didn't know much of anything about Pokémon's like Celebi.
May quickly took out her Pokémon Pokédex but it didn't work so Ash had to explain it to her from what he knew, "Celebi, a Pokémon that is able to travel through time and explore much of the past and future wonders. It is said that in the forest where Celebi appears, the vegetation will grow very lushly. "
The expressions of the two siblings were very synchronized in how they were stunned.
Celebi circled around Ash's head a few times and flew to Jirachi's side.
Jirachi opened his eyes and saw Ash's Celebi, "Celebi, I remember you!"
Subsequently, the Eye of Truth summoned the power of the Millennium Comet and injected it into the bodies of Jirachi and little Celebi at the same time!
