Chapter 1210: The Journey Home
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
Jirachi was not shy at all, flying around Ash with its large, dark eyes wide open, letting out a series of cute cries.
"Ash~ Ash~"
Its gentle Telepathy echoed in his mind.
She had already learned Ash's name during their previous telepathic communication.
Waking up for only seven days every millennium made Jirachi exceptionally affectionate and friendly toward everything it saw upon opening its eyes.
Ash reached out and rubbed its head, as if stroking a docile little kitten.
However, though it looked like its body should be incredibly soft, it gave Ash the cool, hard sensation of touching steel.
"Pika~!"
Pikachu, on his shoulder, was also extremely curious. It reached out a paw and tried to tug on the tag stuck to Jirachi's head.
Hmm, it wouldn't budge.
It wasn't something stuck on externally; it was an actual part of Jirachi's body.
After a moment of play, Ash finally let it go, allowing Jirachi to fly freely in mid-air.
Then, his gaze sharpened, and he spoke:
"Please, Jirachi, help me fulfill my wish!!"
"Wuwu~~!"
Sensing the creature's request, Jirachi floated into mid-air and let out a long cry, the cape on its back fluttering.
The paper tags on her head weren't some penalty for losing a game.
The three blank tags represented her ability to grant three wishes.
Fulfilling the wishes of a petitioner was her duty, for which she woke once every thousand years.
When all three of Jirachi's tasks were completed, or when the seven-day cycle was over, she would fall back into a deep sleep, using the next millennium to re-accumulate wish energy and turn the writing on the three tags blank once more.
*Swish!*
The next moment, the crescent mark on Jirachi's stomach split wide open, revealing a single, oval-shaped eye.
The pupil held no emotion, only a vast and ancient aura.
It was a stark contrast to Jirachi's original pair of cute, dark eyes.
"Is this the True Eye the Pokédex talks about...?"
Ash didn't dare to be careless. He took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on Jirachi's third eye.
At that moment, Jirachi's entire body glowed with a golden-white light, suspended in the air like a dazzling star.
The single eye on its abdomen was open, exuding a majestic aura.
The tag on the left side of its head began to flash with light, as if waiting for the petitioner to write their wish upon it.
Knowing this was the final step before returning home, Ash turned his head to look around, taking one last glance at this strange new world.
Without any more hesitation, he spread his arms and shouted:
"Please, Jirachi, take me back to my original world!!"
As his words fell, the single eye on Jirachi's abdomen seemed to blink. The brilliant light surrounding its body focused entirely on the tag to the left.
*Swish!*
Completely indecipherable characters materialized on the surface of the blank tag.
The next moment, the golden light also fell upon Ash.
He knew this was it—the teleport that would take him home.
"Farewell, to everyone in this world—"
*Swoosh!*
Ash had wanted to roar out one last sentimental line, but before he could finish, he vanished from the spot.
When Ash opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely different location.
He was in an ancient stone tower, standing on a triangular rooftop plaza.
Despite being at the same height as the cloud layer, there wasn't the slightest air current. It was eerily quiet.
"The Sky Pillar?!"
Ash's expression lit up, as if he had returned to a familiar place.
Wait a minute, could it be the Sky Pillar of that *other* world?
Ash quickly pulled out his Pokédex and checked his own information. Only after confirming that his details were correct did he let out a long sigh of relief.
"I'm finally back..."
He had no idea how much time had passed in this world.
He subconsciously glanced at the date.
"For Rayquaza's sake!? The Ever Grande Conference starts tomorrow?!"
Ash's eyes nearly popped out of his head, and he even cursed out loud.
Time in this world passed way too fast, didn't it!?
Wait, doesn't that mean today is the last day for registration for the League Conference?!
"Awooo!!"
Before he could make his next move, Ash's sudden appearance drew a wary roar from behind him.
Ash turned his head to see a snow-white, scythe-headed creature... an Absol!
Upon recognizing Ash, the Absol dropped its hostile stance and sized him up with great curiosity.
How did he suddenly appear out of thin air?
"Uh, have you always been here...?"
This made Ash momentarily forget about the League Conference. He couldn't help but walk over, reaching out a hand.
The Absol didn't stop him, allowing Ash to stroke its snow-white fur.
This Disaster Pokémon was extremely special. It seemed to have been following his journey, appearing before him several times.
It could even use the Flowing Cloud Line, a technique only usable by the Draconid People.
Thinking it over, Ash had a good guess as to its identity.
It was likely an existence similar to the Draconid People, a guardian meant to prevent a Great Disaster caused by factors like the meteorite, Rayquaza, Groudon, and Kyogre.
Guardians weren't necessarily human.
But now, it seemed the disaster was already over...
"So, how about it? Want to travel with me from now on?"
Ash held out a Poké Ball toward the Absol.
Its calm, blood-red eyes stared quietly at Ash.
"Awo!"
With a low growl, it gave a heavy nod.
The Great Disaster from the millennial prophecy had completely passed.
Hmm, it could finally retire.
*Tap.*
It lightly touched the Poké Ball in Ash's hand and, with a *swoosh*, turned into red light and entered it.
After shaking gently twice, the Poké Ball went still.
"I caught Absol!!"
Ash's eyes sparkled, his heart filled with joy.
Speaking of which, he felt a strong connection to this Pokémon.
Absol's strength was also incredibly formidable, and it had mastered the Flowing Cloud Line style of battle.
However, he could tell that this Absol wanted to retire.
Ash had seen that same expression on his Kingler's face back home.
He knew it all too well!
He would send it to Pallet Town and let all the Pokémon in the backyard learn the Flowing Cloud Line fighting method!
"Wuwu~~!"
Just then, a cry from the sky drew Ash's attention.
Looking up, he was surprised to see that Jirachi had teleported along with him.
Of the three tags on Jirachi's head, the one on the left was now filled with writing, leaving two blank ones.
"So, what is your second wish~!"
Jirachi's Telepathy sounded in his mind again.
Since the first wish was merely a teleport—even one that crossed different universes—the energy consumed was extremely small.
It was almost negligible.
Jirachi instinctively called for the second wish.
