Pokémon: Encounter

It has a star-like appearance, with two cloth-like structures on its back and an eye-like organ on its abdomen. There is a blue-green square structure at the end of the star horn. There is a blue-green triangle pattern under the eye.

It is said that if it hears clear singing once every thousand years, it can stay awake for seven days.

There has been a legend since the distant past that when it wakes up from its thousand-year slumber, it will fulfill any wish written on the wishing note on its head.

When it falls asleep again, it will be wrapped in hard crystals to protect itself from being disturbed. If it senses danger, it will even move or fight in its sleep.

“So, it was you who sensed our danger, and then used teleportation in the crystal to rescue us?” Nan Fang teased Jirachi who had already awakened.

[Oh? Instant...movement?]

[Haha! Yeah! Teleport! ]

Jirachi tilted his little head and swam back and forth happily in the air. Looking at Jirachi who looked like a little shooting star, Nanfang showed a regretful expression.

It is a lonely mythical beast-level Pokémon that can only wake up for a short period of seven days every thousand years. I can't imagine what kind of mentality the designer of Jirachi had when he created it in the original world.

It is a lovely and great yellow elf, guarding alone the land it sleeps in. No matter how much energy it has in its body, it can only move at its maximum limit in just seven days.

Even so, those who are ambitious and want to obtain energy to do bad things will still persecute it by any means necessary.

Nanfang turned around and stared indifferently at the huge performance tent at the foot of the hill, which was now filled with laughter and joy.

Unforgivable.

[Your name is... Nanfang? ]

"Hmm? Yes, that's right! My name is Nan Fang! How did you know?"

Looking at the little cutie that flew in front of him, Nan Fang replied with a smile.

[Yes, they told me! ]

Jirachi said happily, pointing at the group of friends in the south behind him.

【They like you very much! 】

[You guys! Are best friends! ]

[Can you also...be my friend? ]

Nan Fang was suddenly stunned. Looking at Jirachi's expectant eyes, a feeling of fear suddenly surged in his heart.

It's not that he doesn't want to be friends with Jirachi. And he knows that he can't ask it to do something bad. But what Nan Fang doesn't know is that he only spends seven days with his good friends, and after seven days they will have to face the pain of separation.

Should this kind of cruelty be inflicted on this cute elf in front of me?

"it is good..."

Nan Fang's voice trembled a little, but in the end he couldn't bear to see Jirachi feel disappointed and agreed.

Jirachi danced happily in the air. Suddenly, Jirachi seemed to be sleepy, and slowly closed its eyes and slowly fell from the air. Nanfang stretched out his hands and caught it steadily.

"Get some sleep."

"Since I promised to be your good friend."

"Then I will definitely protect you."

"Even if that's the case, there's only seven days."

Nan Fang made a decision in his heart. He took the string of "Seven Night Wishing Stars" that Juan Juan Er handed to him and gently folded a piece of the wooden corner into it.

"I seem to have a wish now."

-

As the night deepened, the noisy celebration came to an end as the lights in the amusement park dimmed.

Butler, who was still standing on the stage, showed joy on his face. He waved the wooden baton in his hand, and the opening on the top of the big tent opened instantly. The dazzling millennium comet appeared in the center of the opening.

Butler stood in the center of the stage, and he seemed to have known about Jirachi's awakening.

The joy on his face gradually turned into madness.

He shouted loudly: "The great show, at this moment! It's about to begin!".

As soon as the words fell, four devices rose from the four corners of the stage, and an antenna-like device stretched out from the middle, aiming at the millennium comet in the starry sky. Diane, who was standing behind him, had a bitter look on her face, and a trace of uneasiness was slowly rising from the bottom of her heart.

"This moment has finally arrived!"

-

2/7.

Since it is a recreational festival held in the wilderness, it will of course take into account travelers from far away places like the South. And the local cultural and tourism bureau will not miss this considerable income.

Although the temporary tourist hotel is a bit crude, it still has a bed, which is at least a little more comfortable than sleeping in the wild. After all, there are only seven days, and after seven days, these building materials have to be recycled and wait for the next use of other projects.

The summer morning light at around seven o'clock was warm and shone through the window onto Nanfang's face. Nanfang opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Jirachi lying on his chest, and smiled helplessly.

"I was wondering why I felt like I was being 'sleep-paralyzed' last night. It turned out to be you, the 'bad guy'!"

"Hmm? Jirachi, you're awake? Good morning, little one!"

【Hmm...Hmm?】

Jirachi seemed still a little dazed. It slowly floated up and looked blankly at Nanfang who was sitting in front of it, as if it was confirming something.

【South...South!?】

【Great! It’s you! Nan Fang! My good friend! 】

Jirachi's consciousness seemed to swim back, circling the south happily before finally landing on his head.

[Hmm...Hair! Tie!]

【But I like it!!!】

Nan Fang let it roll around on his head, holding it up with his hands for fear that the little guy would fall down accidentally.

With Jirachi joining in, Nan Fang temporarily gave up the idea of ​​actively looking for trouble with Butler. No, to be more precise, it should be the idea of ​​"revenge". He wanted to have a good time with Jirachi in these seven days.

But if that man gets himself into trouble again, Nan Fang doesn't mind taking revenge in advance.

Accompanying Curly Ears and Jirachi, Nan Fang started his full-day outing plan today.

After breakfast, Sister Snake felt a little jealous when she saw them smiling. She missed the time when she was still a vine snake. As a famous "water balance master", how could Nan Fang not invite these friends? But the facilities in the amusement park are not suitable for these slightly larger Pokémon.

In the end, Sister Snake could only swallow her hatred and go to the "Jungle Amusement Park" next door for a leisure vacation with several fellow disciples.

Good times are always short-lived. This statement is absolutely true.

That night, Nan Fang dragged his tired body to the small hill where Jirachi had woken up before.

At the request of other friends, they finally voted by seven to one and decided that they would set up camp on the hill for the remaining nights.

Lying in the tent with a transparent roof, Nanfang broke off the second piece of wood.

"Good night~"

Surrounded by his most important companions, Nan Fang fell asleep peacefully.

......

"Ab!"

At midnight.

Absol, who suddenly woke up, seemed to have discovered something unusual.

It didn't disturb anyone and quietly walked out of the tent.

In the darkness, a pure white disaster beast that looked exactly like himself attracted Absol's attention.

[Who is it? What are you doing here!? ]

Absol did not let down his guard just because the other party was of the same kind as himself.

【Disaster is coming.】

【I have to take it away.】

The wild Absol spoke up.

[Who? Jirachi? ]

【Yes. 】

[Its power is the source of the earth veins of the land of Farnes. ]

[Without it, the land of Farnese would be devastated.]

After hearing the story of the wild Absol, the Southern Absol hesitated. It didn't know whether to believe what it said.

【That's too cruel.】

【That child, it only has seven days. 】

[This is its fate. Likewise, this is my fate.]

The wild Absol replied softly, as if the whole thing it was talking about had nothing to do with it. It was completely numb.

[What a bullshit fate, what a necessary duty. ]

"I just know that we want it to be happy the rest of the time it has left, that's all."

The green body appeared under the moonlight, elegant and calm.

Sister Snake looked at the wild beast in front of her with disdain.

[Either leave here on your own initiative, or be knocked unconscious by us and thrown into the wild. ]

【You can choose one yourself. 】

Absol looked in surprise at the Monarch Snake that emerged from the darkness, and its other companions that followed behind it.

【you...?】

[I was woken up by this girl. Big sister, you are so mean. You didn’t even call me when there was a fight~] This is the yawning big silly dragon.

[Junior sister, how can you always bear this responsibility alone? Leave this matter to us.] This is the reliable Pidgeot.

[That’s right.] Yes, this is the cold-blooded Blue Blade Demon.

[I didn't alarm the fool Nan Fang and Xiao Mei. We are enough.]

Snake Sister is worthy of being Snake Sister, she already has the temperament of a spiritual leader of the "Southern Big Family".

Absol smiled and looked at the wild beast.

【Sorry, the result is obvious. 】

【I believe that we will handle everything that happens in the future. 】

The wild Absol remained silent.

In this situation, it was impossible to take back Jirachi from this group of 'hooligans'. Just to say that the one of his kind was not an opponent he could easily defeat.

Yes, they are a group of hooligans, and they were brought here from the South.

【You will regret it! 】

The wild disaster beast gradually retreated, and it could only choose another time to try again.

[Hmph~ You're smart~]

The monarch snake raised its head proudly because the crown would fall off.

Just like that, the episode ended.

The second day ended like this.

-

3/7.

"Well... I slept okay, but my old waist couldn't take it... it was a little too hard... I guess I have to get a better camping mat next time."

Nan Fang, who had just woken up, smiled knowingly at his companions. He had no idea of ​​the crisis that suddenly came last night.

"What are the plans for today?"

"We played everything that could be played in the playground yesterday."

"Then let's go explore the forest today!"

"I can't always leave other people alone, that would make me look biased~"

Nan Fang secretly glanced at the unresponsive monarch snake and secretly praised himself for his wise decision.

Looking at Nan Fang, Jirachi and Curly Ears who were walking in front of everyone.

Absol walked up to everyone.
