This is the extra chapter I promised.
Enjoy.
————————————————————
"Ash!" May exclaimed, but Ash was no longer able to hear her from where he was, "And we were just having our perfect time as a new couple too! Why did Absol ruin our fun time?! We didn't even have time to say "I love you to each other!" That damn Absol, I'll give him a piece of my mind soon!"
May was fuming at Absol because he ruined her time with her new boyfriend and future partner, Ash.
Just as she was about to go back, she saw a figure in a tuxedo coming out of their camp. That was clearly the figure of Butler!
She immediately felt something bad and hurried back to the camp. Brock and Max were still sleeping soundly, but there was nothing around Max anymore.
Jirachi was missing!
"May, it's not good!" Max was very anxious after being awakened by May and realizing that Jirachi wasn't with him anymore. He began to immediately began to rummage through the boxes and even looked for it inside of Ash's backpack, but there was still nothing there.
"Where is Ash right now? Where has he gone out of the blue?" Brock also immediately realized how wrong their current predicament was and subconsciously asked about Ash's current whereabouts.
"Ash was lured by that same Absol from before, and now I don't even know where he is going! I just saw that Butler guy coming out of our camp, let's go to his magic tent to find out what he's been planning!" May said after seeing recalling what she had just seen.
The three people immediately prepared to take action. At this moment, a beam of light rose into the sky and headed towards the Millennium Comet.
Then a beam of energy fell from the comet, and the roar of an explosion was heard from within the magic tent!
The night after the Millennium Comet appeared, Butler secretly took Jirachi and placed him on top of a device in the magic tent.
"Did Absol leave Forina and come here to get back Jirachi to where he belongs? Butler, if this continues, disaster will definitely happen to everyone! Please, stop this now!" Diane looked at Butler and couldn't help but worry.
She began to have a feeling that if things continued on like this, there would be nothing but an abyss waiting for Butler.
But she didn't know how to persuade Butler to stop his actions, the actions he'd been planning on for so long.
"Diane, you don't have to be afraid of anything. All of our efforts in the past are just for this day!" At this moment, Butler couldn't listen to her persuasion anymore, "Perfect, the performance is about to begin!"
He activated the mysterious device, and the force field inside immediately fixed on the Jirachi inside, making him unable to move anywhere or use his powers.
Butler ignored Jirachi's painful voice, "I know that when you open your Eyes of Truth, you can absorb a very large amount of energy from the Millennium Comet!"
In the container he was holding in his hand, there was something that looked like a red charred stone. It turned out to be part of Groudon's body!
It turns out that this person known as Butler was actually a scientist from the notorious Team Magma.
He has tried his absolute best to develope a regeneration device that can use Groudon's own body tissue to create an artificial Groudon of their own.
However, the regeneration device exploded because it simply did not have nearly the enough needed energy it needed to work. His experiment failed in a catastrophic failure, and he himself was ridiculed and kicked out of Team Magma in the most extreme way!
"We will find Groudon ourselves, we don't need a piece of teach like you anymore in our organization!" This sentence kept lingering in his ears over and over again.
His ideas and those of Team Magma are actually quite inconsistent. Team Magma wants to control the Legendary Continent Pokémon Groudon who truly has the power to create and change the planet as a whole, but the difference is that Butler wants to create a Groudon himself.
It was only a matter of time before he was kicked out the the organization. After all, he was just a poor little brat who couldn't admit his own failure and decided to blame it on everyone but himself, the true failure!
"What I did was definitely not wrong in anyway. I must let the Team Magma, who looks down on me so much, know how good I, Butler D. Mislukking, truly am!" He put the container containing the Groudon fragment into the device.
"Okay, Jirachi, own open your Eyes of Truth for me!" Butler ignored Jirachi's feelings and gave the order to his Dusclops beside him, "Dusclops, use Hypnosis on that!" He wanted to force Jirachi to open his Eye of Truth!
Jirachi struggled as he had only been awake for a day and had not yet recovered any of his lost powers, but the eyes in his abdomen opened little by little. A beam of blue light shot towards the Millennium Comet. The comet flashed strongly and then returned with a blue-purple light.
This is exactly what the May, Brock, and Max noticed outside the tent.
Not only them, but Ash and Absol who were engaged in a chase also saw it. Ash was shocked, and looked at Absol, and immediately realized that something was very wrong.
"Suicune, come out!"
His battle to catch this Absol didn't even begin but was already suspended. Ash shouted, jumped onto his now released Suicune, followed by Absol and hurried over there immediately.
Unexpectedly, just left they left for a moment, something bad happened.
Absol was just as regretful as Ash was right now. He had clearly sensed the impending disaster, but was delayed by Ash in front of him and all because he thought Absol was cool.
Ash and Absol caught up and broke into the magic tent with along with the rest of the group. They happened to see the energy falling from the Millennium Comet, which destroyed the device Butler's was using.
Jirachi was right in the center of the explosion. When the all the smoke cleared, he lay on the ground covered in many bruises. Max rushed over almost immediately and held him in his arms.
"Jirachi, you're going to be just okay!"
As a Legendary Pokémon like Jirachi, especially because he has the secondary Steel-type, which makes him have a very good resistance to blast attacks like this. Jirachi most likely has only suffered some superficial skin injuries and is not in some serious condition.
Butler stood up from the destroyed area. Although his m device exploded, his eyes were full of light. "It's such a pure energy. I will definitely control it the next time!"
Hearing this, Ash and the Absol disappeared from where they were.
"I told you this before, but looks like you forgot what I had said, so I will say it again in a way that you will understand. Butler, you have crossed the line that you should have never crossed!"
Ash's figure suddenly appeared in front of Butler, and a shining blue fist hit his left face.
Butler was knocked down, almost fully unconscious but since Ash didn't even use his a quarter of his full power, he was barely able to stay conscious.
This scene frightened Max who was holding Jirachi, "OH MY GODDO, thank GOD that Big Bro never used such power on my poor little head!"
Diane ran over and helped Butler up, "Butler, please don't continue on such a dangerous path!"
Butler's face was swollen, but the anger was still burning in his eyes, "I won't give up just yet, and Ash Ketchum, when I succeed, you will also know how good I truly am! I will let you be the first one to test my creation then!"
"No matter what you plan to do, I will not forgive any behavior that will harm the innocent Pokémon!" Ash stood in front of Butler with his fist closed up for another punch, with Absol and his Suicune standing on his left and right, looking very imposing!
"Butler, please stop, I don't want you to do this kind of things anymore!" Diane also persuaded him to her best.
However, for Butler, these words are tantamount to betrayal!
"Diane, you..."
Max took the opportunity to hold Jirachi and hide behind Ash, "Wow, it's a Suicune, so cool and strong! Big Bro, when did you actually manage to catch a Legendary Pokémon like Suicune?!"
Absol looked back at Jirachi and heard it say, "I want to go back, I need to go back to Farnia!"
Ash nodded slightly, "Max, protect Jirachi for now!"
Butler pushed Diane away and looked at Ash angrily, holding a Poké Ball in his hand with a ferocious expression, "Ash, give that Jirachi back to me!"
Ash chuckled, "Why, do you still want to have a Pokémon Battle with me? Do you still want to dance with my Tyranitar, or my Suicune?"
"How will I know if I don't even try?" Butler really threw out the Poké Ball, "Come on, Salamence!"
When this Pokémon was summoned from its containment, Ash's eyes suddenly lit up brightly.
The pair of blood-red wings was its main symbol, the powerful Pokémon known as Salamence!
This is the Dragon-type Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon of the Hoenn Region. Ash didn't really expect that there would be a battle so soon between the Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon's of Hoenn and the Johto Region, but Ash had absolute confidence in his Tyranitar!
Ash had his Tyranitar as one of his main team members, so that means that they are some of his strongest Pokémon's. So not any random Trainer can challenge them.
"Stand by for battle, Tyranitar!"
The real beast of war, Tyranitar, appeared on the stage. Just the momentum alone made Salamence in the air shrink his pupils, flap his wings and fly higher up, subconsciously trying to move away from Tyranitar, even his very Dragon-type blood was trying to warn him of this danger.
But Butler didn't even notice this!
"Salamence, use Dragon Claw!"
Now Butler was going crazy. His face was swollen very badly. In order to avenge that last punch just now, he ordered his Salamence to use Dragon Claw from the beginning.
This Dragon Claw was worthy of being from a Pokémon like Salamence. The power of this claw was truly astonishing to more. Its figure suddenly appeared in front of Tyranitar and struck with one of his claws.
"Crunch!"
The evil Dark-type energy gathered together, forming a bloody black mouth. Tyranitar didn't even pay attention to Salamence's Dragon Claw as she only felt the tickle, and instead returned the gesture with an extremely powerful Crunch!
"SALA!"
Salamence suddenly cried out in unimaginable pain, his very neck was twisted by the Crunch, and his entire dragon body was twisted, and his claws kept hitting Tyranitar over and over again, but Tyranitar remained unmoved from her standing.
Finally, Tyranitar let go!
Salamence's neck was scorched black, and he was seriously injured after being bitten in such a vital point. Tyranitar was indeed worthy of being one of Ash's main members. The battle was already locked in just one attack from Ash's side.
"Damn it, Salamence, Flamethrower!"
Butler didn't even confirm his Salamence's injury before giving the order again, and the flames from the dragon immediately engulfed Tyranitar!
The flames were not even as strong as it should have been; however, because of Tyranitars Crunch, the damage was a lot less.
However, Ash gave a grim order, "Destroy it with a Hyper Beam!"
The terrifying and destructive Hyper Beam easily penetrated the flames and hit Salamence hard!
"That is impossible!" Butler was furious. His strongest Pokémon by far, his Salamence, was unable to fight back so quickly.
Just how strong is this young man in front of him?
"Nothing is impossible when I'm here!" Ash's eyes were blazing, "You are just useless trash!"
"Tyranitar, use Stone Edge!"
The final Rock-type ultimate move had an outstanding effect on the Flying-type Salamence, knocking it out of combat ability and falling to the ground for who knows how long!
"Butler, you're under arrest!" Ash took back his Tyranitar and punched him to make Butlers face look symmetrical.
He planned to hand over Butler to Officer Jenny, and then send Jirachi back to Farnia to rest.
Ash quickly summoned over a Officer Jenny as he was a Pokémon Investigator, handed the bruised and symmetrical Butler to her, and set out on the road to the Farnia Forest with Diane.
"Ash, you seem to understand a lot of things that even I can't understand, and I worked with Butler for a long time." Diane, who was the one driving, suddenly asked him.
"Are you talking about his experiments, or his identity as a former scientist of Team Magma, or the fact that he was kicked out after his experiment failed and caused damge to his organization?"
Ahs smiled slightly, "I could have still found out if I really wanted to, but I really didn't expect that he would reveal all that himself before he was even able to harness the power of the Millennium Comet to conduct his dangerous experiments."
Regarding the other information about Butler, Ash handed it the things he did have over to the Rocket Trio for a full investigation.
Although the information was not perfect, it was enough for Ash to deduce everything that he didn't hear from Butler himself.
"In order for Jirachi to awaken its power, he needs a trusty partner, a person with a pure and young heart. Butler was obviously unfit for that so he did all of the traveling magic shows just to wait for the partner to appear!" Now that Ash has learned about Butler's past, Diane started to introduce Jirachi's part.
"So he waited for someone like Max to appear!" May looked at Jirachi in her little brothers arms. Jirachi's injuries had already recovered to a certain extent, but it seemed like he was having a nightmare.
"Excuse me, but where is this Farnia Forest?" Seeing Jirachi's uncomfortable look, Max asked with distress.
"It will take us about four days to drive there with our current speed!" Diane was already driving very fast, but it only took Absol one day to get there, which shows how high his running speed and endurance was.
"Sending Jirachi back to Farnia is what I should do as his partner!" Max made up his mind to protect Jirachi no matter the cost!
Seeing how determined he was, Ash, who was sitting next to May, showed mercy and gave him a pat on the head.
"Big Bro!" Seeing Ash's eyes, Max suddenly became happy, as it seemed that Ash finally recognized him.
However, Ash would have never thought that Butler, who was taken away by Officer Jenny, secretly pressed a certain mechanism hidden in his sleeve at the last moment.
The sky was getting dark again. This is the third night after the appearance of the Millennium Comet.
Max hugged Jirachi who had regained his energy and fell asleep. Brock was responsible for warming the fire and cooking some hot soup for everyone to make supper.
May came to Ash's side, hugged him while no one was paying attention, and asked, "Ash, did you catch that Absol?"
Their love conversation was interrupted by Absol before, but now May tried picked up the topic again.
"I couldn't catch it as we were interrupted. Now that guy should still be following us all the way to Farnia. I can feel his Auta. Let's wait until we get to Farnia before I catch it!"
Ash has already had a small talk with this Absol and they were now alright. He already had a very good impression of this Absol and definitely wanted to catch him next.
"Anyway, May. What were you about to say that last time?" Ash asked knowingly.
May blushed but got ready, "Well, I was about to say that I lo-" Before she could say anything, she was interrupted by another woman.
"Ash!" Diane walked out of her RV, holding a flyer for the magic show in her hand. She must be missing Butler a bit, "I want to thank you for stopping Butler from getting deeper into that trap he had set up for himself."
"As long as you don't blame me for sending him to jail, I'm happy to help." Ash said with a smile. Butlers crime was not very serious yet, but he was a dangerous person. Officer Jenny and her others associates will definitely keep a close eye on him to make sure that he doesn't try anything nasty.
Diane came to Ash and May side, "Butler and I were childhood sweethearts. When he was young, he loved to invent new things. He was a very gentle person back than…"
Diane's face was full of sweetness and nostalgia when she said this.
Speaking of childhood sweethearts, there was a also childhood memory in Ash's memory. It was a very cute one. The only memory he has is that he met a cute little girl at a summer camp when he was about 7 years old.
Soon, Diane looked at Ash again, "Ash, thank you! And in four days, Jirachi will enter his thousand-year sleep again. By then, his ambition will naturally end, and he will definitely change back to his original state. Butler and me can be reunited then, or I hope we do."
Hearing this, Ash shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking that Diane was still too naive to think like that.
Once such ambition arises, it would be very difficult to not continue on that path.
Now Butler was already standing on the edge of his morality. There are too many confusing things in this world. If he really wants to have a source of powerful energy, there are too many ways.
However, Ash said, "If you meet him again, what would you like to do with him?"
Diane didn't expect Ash to ask such a question. She couldn't help but blush. She obviously thought of something inappropriate for children, but she said, "Of course I want him to make it up to me. He hurt me!"
Brock on the side dropped his heavy spoon on the ground.
'Why me!!??? Ash already has 3 girlfriends!! And I don't even have one!!! What did I do to deserve this punishment??!!!' Brock was having his second mental crisis of the Hoenn journey.
The first time was a few hours ago when Ash told him that he was in a relationship with Misty, his long time friend; Maya, the beautiful girl from the Whirl Islands; and May, their new companion.
Brock was the only one who knew that Ash was in a relationship with 3 women at the same time; since his father also had 3 wives.
As polygamy was actually very common around the world.
The further they went in the direction of Farnia, the terrain became more and more dangerous, with more and more mountains and cliffs along every way. Fortunately, with the help of Ash's Tyranitar, everything went smoothly on the road.
It wasn't until the fifth day that the Millennium Comet appeared that Ash and his party were finally approaching Farnia.
They camped in front of the valley outside the forest.
Going further, they would see an endless forest with numerous stone pillars, rugged terrain, and lush trees.
It was no longer possible to drive in, so everyone had to go inside on foot.
So they need to recharge their energy this night.
"This feels so good…" May sat on Ash's lap and murmured softly.
Max, who was playing with Jirachi, suddenly seemed to realize something when he saw May sitting on Ash's lap.
"Huh!! May, are you really dating Big Bro?? Yesss, Ash is really going to be my Big Bro!!" Max said with excitement.
"Shut up. It's not so serious. What you should be doing now is spending time with Jirachi." Ash said in his usual calm manner.
"Ohh, but why? I don't want Jirachi to go away from me!" With that said, he sat next to the river all alone, with Jirachi quickly going next to him.
"Max..." May was about to catch up after standing up, but was stopped by Ash.
Ash stood up with his Pikachu and Ralts on his shoulders, and saw that Max holding Jirachi in his arms, "Can't you bear it?"
Ralts came down to Ash's arms, reached over and gently knocked Jirachi on the head. Although this little guy had been alive for thousands of years, he was still far inferior to Ralts when it came to these things.
The little guy suddenly became happy and played Teleports with Ralts, flashing around at the area.
But Max's mood was still very low, "I will never see Jirachi again…"
Because Jirachi needs to sleep for a thousand years, separation means eternal farewell for Max.
"You know, for Jirachi, a thousand years may be just a little moment." Ash said slowly.
"For Max and Jirachi, although these days were short, they are more than just a moment!"
The separation was destined, but this friendship and memories will always be remembered in Max's mind and appear in Jirachi's dreams.
"Thank you, Big Bro, you are the best!" Max finally felt relieved.
"I give you my permission to date May. Don't worry, I will put in a good word for you to Mom and Dad." Max said cheekily.
So Ash hit him in the head again with an annoyed expression, "If you know, go to bed early. You have to hike into the forest tomorrow. And I also didn't need your good word or your permission. Your dad probably already knew this before you even joined."
"Yeah yeah!"
