Chapter 1211: The Third Wish
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
“So, what is your second wish~!”
Jirachi was relieved that Ash's first wish was simply to return home.
Especially when she sensed that Ash was a kind creature, Jirachi was genuinely overjoyed.
She was more like a wish-granting tool.
She would unconditionally grant any wish she was asked to grant, regardless of whether it was right or wrong, good or evil. This actually made Jirachi terrified that upon waking, she would find herself before an evil person.
For example, that human who had previously strapped her to a machine.
She could sense that if Butler's wish were to be realized, it would lead to a great disaster!
"My second wish...?"
Upon hearing this, a multitude of scenes instantly flashed through Ash's mind.
Meeting more Pokémon, encountering more powerful Trainers...
Becoming the strongest Trainer, to completely crush the likes of the League Champion, Brother Red, and Mewtwo...
Becoming a Pokémon Master...
As his mind wandered, his gaze subconsciously swept over his surroundings.
The scenery outside the top floor of the Sky Pillar seemed locked in place, a stretch of pure chaos. The air currents in the cloud layer had stopped flowing, yet he could see the sky gradually turning a dusky yellow.
“Wait a minute, what time is it?”
Ash suddenly remembered something and hastily pulled out his Pokedex.
Time: 5:45 PM.
“!!”
Ash shuddered. This time wasn't right at all.
After all, he was a veteran contestant with experience in multiple League Conferences.
The Opening Ceremony was tomorrow, which meant the deadline for Tournament Registration was six o'clock in the evening the day before.
“Only 15 minutes left?!”
Panic seized Ash's heart. He had gone through so much trouble to collect all eight badges and had finally returned from that other world, all for the sake of participating in the Ever Grande Conference. There was no way he could miss it.
“Help me, Mewtwo!!”
Ash immediately chose to call for rescue.
With Mewtwo's Teleport, he could reach his destination in an instant and complete the final registration.
“Hmph!”
However, Mewtwo just gave him a cold snort.
Did Ash take him for a mere teleportation tool?
The moment you had that thought, it was already an insult to him... If it had been anyone else, they would have already been crushed into a palm-sized meatball by Mewtwo.
This left Ash dumbfounded.
From here to Ever Grande City, even if Latias flew at full speed the entire way, it would probably take more than thirty minutes.
That's not nearly enough time!
“Wait a second!”
Ash's gaze fell on Jirachi, who was shining like a wishing star above him.
Wasn't there a ready-made teleportation tool right here?
“Please, Jirachi, send me to the entrance of the registration site for the Ever Grande Conference in an instant!”
“Wuh?”
Hearing this wish, Jirachi was clearly taken aback for a moment.
Another instant teleport, and this time it was just a teleport within the same region.
Did this human have no regard for her Wish Power at all?
And yet, this actually made Jirachi even more delighted. A teleportation like this didn't even require her Wish Power; she could barely manage to teleport Ash to his destination using just her own Psychic Powers.
But... she would still count it as one of the official wishes!
As the light flared, a cluster of text appeared on the paper tag on its right side.
Swoosh!
The light subsided, and Ash's figure vanished from the spot once more.
Opening his eyes, Ash found himself in an island town this time.
A massive festival banner hung at the entrance. Even at dusk, the town was still bustling with people, as countless travelers and newcomers poured in.
Ever Grande City.
It was just a place similar to Silver Town, which Ash had visited before.
Relying on the annual League Conference, it was a tourist town that had gradually expanded in scale. Even during the off-season, quite a few travelers still came to visit.
Tomorrow was the Opening Ceremony of the Ever Grande Conference, and the town was currently decorated with lanterns and colored streamers. Parades snaked through the streets, drawing large, cheering crowds.
But at this moment, Ash had no time for any of that.
“Only ten minutes left!”
Ash located the direction of the nearest Pokémon Center and was about to dash off.
“Ash, the third...”
Jirachi, still in the sky, wanted to say something more but was cut off by Ash.
“Sorry, Jirachi, I'm in a huge hurry... We'll talk about the third wish when I get back. I'll be right back!”
Ash could only give her a reassuring look before rushing towards the Pokémon Center in a frantic hurry.
“Wuh wuh~”
Watching Ash's figure disappear, Jirachi could only fiddle with her small hands, her large, dark eyes looking around with curiosity.
She only awakens once every thousand years, and each time she wakes up, the world she sees is exceptionally different...
The way this world looked now was completely unfamiliar to her.
Inside the Pokémon Center.
“Contestant Ash from Pallet Town, congratulations on completing your registration~ Please listen carefully to the announcements later, and don't be late again~!”
Nurse Joy smiled as she returned Ash's eight badges, along with his Pokedex.
There were less than three minutes until the deadline... This youth had registered right at the buzzer, nearly missing it entirely.
“Thank you, Nurse Joy!”
Hearing this, Ash's face lit up with joy. He had finally made it.
“Um, by the way, is there any problem with this Rain Badge?”
What made him curious, however, was that the badge he had obtained from another world had actually passed the inspection of this world's organization.
Generally speaking, the badges a Trainer receives are tied to their identity, right?
Otherwise, other people could just intercept trainers outside Ever Grande City, steal their badges, and take their place.
“Oh, this Rain Badge is a generic badge. It doesn't have the challenger's identity recorded on it. Most Gym Leaders rarely give this kind of badge to a Trainer.”
Nurse Joy explained with a smile.
Ash nodded. His battle with Mr. Adam was also an unofficial one, so it was reasonable that he was given an unofficial badge.
With the registration complete, Ash finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling secretly thankful.
He figured that Brock, Blue, and the others were probably already waiting for him in Ever Grande City.
Having not seen his friends for so many days, Ash missed them quite a bit.
But for now, Jirachi was still waiting for him outside.
Walking outside, Ash saw that a few people had already gathered around Jirachi.
It wasn't a big problem, though. While there were rumors of Jirachi in this world, they were far less documented than in that other world.
Most people just assumed it was a rare Pokemon from another region and didn't recognize Jirachi as the legendary Mythical Pokémon.
“Ash~!”
Seeing Ash's figure again, Jirachi's little eyes narrowed into a smile. It immediately floated over and affectionately hugged his hat.
Having just awakened, she was still a little shy around strangers.
Once the two of them reached a less crowded area, Jirachi started to float above Ash's head again.
But she lowered her head and sent a timid telepathic message.
“Oh, Ash, um... about the third wish! Could I ask you to make it on the seventh day...?”
After all, if all three wishes were made right now...
Then she might have to form her cocoon and fall into a deep sleep today.
All Jirachi wanted was to fully experience these brief seven days.
Humble and vulnerable.
After speaking, she blinked her big eyes, clasped her small hands, and looked at Ash with an expectant expression.
