"What happened?"
When May finished humming the lullaby that her mother used to sing to her, the sleeping cocoon in Max's arms suddenly shone brightly.
This dazzling light not only attracted the attention of everyone present but also woke up Max, who had fallen asleep.
"Who is making so much noise?"
In the light, a sticky voice came, which immediately attracted the attention of Gary, Ash, and the others.
"Did you hear it?"
Seeing this, Ash first looked around at Gary and the others and said in an incredulous tone.
"That voice just now, could it be... Jirachi!"
Following Ash, Rosa immediately expressed her opinion.
"Yes, it was Jirachi."
And Gary nodded in the surprised eyes of everyone and confirmed this idea.
"In other words, the voice just now should be Jirachi's telepathy."
After saying this, Hilda, like everyone else, focused her eyes on Jirachi's sleeping cocoon that was emitting dazzling light.
Under the gaze of Gary and the others, the sleeping cocoon in Max's hand slowly floated in the air. After absorbing energy from the surroundings, the light became more dazzling.
After the light covering the sleeping cocoon dissipated, the original sleeping cocoon had disappeared, replaced by a body like a golden star, with "wishing notes" hanging on the three corners of its head.
This little cutie is the mythical Pokémon - Jirachi.
"Is this Jirachi?"
When Jirachi slowly floated into Max's arms, Gary immediately opened the system panel and checked Jirachi's relevant data.
Pokémon: Jirachi
Type: Steel, Psychic
Ability: Serene Grace
Level: Level 48 (Recovering)
Classification: Mythical Pokémon
Moves: Telekinesis, Wish, Swift, Gravity, Zen Headbutt, Psychic, Healing Wish...
"Has Jirachi's strength not recovered yet?"
After seeing Jirachi's strength panel, Gary's eyes revealed a hint of understanding.
"No wonder in the original story, Butler, such a half-baked man, defeated him."
Unlike Gary's observation, May, Ash, and others immediately came over after seeing Jirachi open its hazy eyes.
"Is this Jirachi?"
After seeing the awakened Jirachi, Ash's eyes also revealed fondness.
"So cute!"
Girls usually find it hard to refuse a cute little Pokémon like Jirachi, so May, Rosa, and Hilda all looked at Jirachi with shining eyes.
"That's great, Jirachi!"
For Max, who has been looking forward to Jirachi's awakening, this is undoubtedly the happiest time.
"My name is Max!"
In addition to being happy, Max did not forget to introduce himself.
"Max?"
Jirachi also looked at Max and repeated his name to get to know him.
"My name is May, Rosa, Ash, and Brock!"
Then May and Ash also introduced themselves briefly.
"My name is Gary!"
Of course, Gary would not be absent on such an occasion.
"May, Rosa, Ash, Brock, and Gary!"
Through Gary's and others' self-introductions, Jirachi also had a certain understanding of Gary and the others.
Butler and Diane could not hide the grand scene when Jirachi just woke up.
After Gary and the others met Jirachi, Diane ran over in a hurry.
Max was very happy to share Jirachi's awakening with Diane.
"Miss Diane, look! Jirachi is awake!"
"I know."
After learning that Jirachi had awakened, Diane was also excited.
"You guys go to my car and wait for a while; I'll notify Butler."
After saying that, Diane ran away in a hurry before Gary and the others could reply.
"Is it finally going to start?"
Gary squinted his eyes and looked at Diane's hurried back and said secretly in his heart.
Of course, Butler could not hide this matter; especially after getting affirmative news from Diane. The smug smile on his face was beyond words.
"This moment has finally arrived!"
Butler opened his arms while operating the machine in front of him with a crazy look in his eyes. Now he has been completely dominated by his desires.
On the contrary, Diane—who has her own conscience—was filled with anxiety after seeing Butler's madness.
Turning your sight back to Gary and Ash...
"Hey! Jirachi! Come and help us realize our wishes!"
In Diane's car, Max looked at Jirachi in front of him with expectant eyes.
"Wish?"
Jirachi tilted its little head and said in a puzzled tone.
Of course making a wish is something that May and Rosa—as well as Ash and others—are all looking forward to. But after some debate, Max made his wish first: he wanted a lot of snacks.
After confirming Max's wish, Jirachi floated into the air; the three wishing notes above its head also emitted light.
Under Jirachi's power, countless snacks immediately appeared in the carriage. In just a short while, the carriage was completely filled.
In fact because there were too many snacks; they all poured out of the carriage—and Gary, Ash and others were squeezed out together.
This scene was seen by Butler and Diane who rushed over.
"What happened?"
Diane looked at the countless snacks in front of her; although she had a little guess in her heart she still asked.
"Jirachi fulfilled my wish and turned out these snacks," Max said happily while holding Jirachi.
"These snacks didn't appear out of thin air but are snacks sold at the festival."
After Gary patted off some dust from himself he said to Max and the others.
"Huh?"
After hearing Gary's words May and Ash all showed incredible expressions.
"Sure enough! Jirachi has the ability to transfer matter instantly."
After seeing Jirachi's ability Butler also smiled.
"Is that so!"
After hearing this Max instantly became depressed.
"Let Jirachi restore these snacks to their original state."
After knowing that these snacks came from festival vendors Rosa stood up and reminded.
Fortunately; Jirachi's ability was powerful; in a short while all snacks were sent back to their original places.
"I feel so sleepy now!"
However after using its ability twice in a row; Jirachi felt sleepy so after saying that it fell asleep directly.
"Jirachi! Will it sleep for another thousand years?"
Looking at the sleeping Jirachi in his arms Max's eyes showed reluctance.
"It will sleep for another thousand years in seven days; it is just tired from using its ability and is sleeping temporarily."
Fortunately Butler's explanation made Max feel relieved.
"That's great."
After saying that a smile appeared on Max's face.
