Su Yi thought for a moment, then took out the seven-colored crystal. The Sky Comet Dragon immediately turned its head to look over and eagerly approached.

"Wait a minute! Do you know how to use the energy inside?" Su Yi asked, holding the crystal.

Tianhuilong stared intently at Su Yi with a determined look in his eyes.

Su Yi sighed, "I'm really impressed by you."

Immediately afterwards, Su Yi tried to touch the Sky Comet with the seven-colored crystal, which was his way of making the Sky "mega evolve".

Ding.

The seven-colored crystal was shoved into the face of the Sky Comet Dragon, but nothing happened.

"Useless? Does this crystal bind me to Da Kong?" Su Yi scratched his head. There were no precedents to refer to, and he was at a loss.

click!

"Hey!" Su Yi suddenly felt the crystal in his hand being snatched away and immediately turned around to look.

"Heavenly Comet Dragon, what are you doing?" Su Yi saw Heavenly Comet Dragon gnawing on the seven-colored crystal, just like a dog gnawing on a bone.

But after nibbling on it for a while without feeling anything, Tianhuilong released the crystal, looking very puzzled.

Why isn't this working?

Su Yi was also somewhat puzzled, but he only had a vague understanding of this crystal. So he put the crystal back and took out another crystal.

"Hehe, so this crystal should be of some use, right?"

Since the seven-colored crystal is useless against the Sky Comet Dragon, then the Life Dragon Vein Stone, which can definitely make the companion beast stronger, should be useful, right?

"Screech!" The Heavenly Comet Dragon fixed its gaze on the Life Dragon Vein Stone once more, its eyes once again filled with fervent desire.

"and many more!"

Su Yi held the Life Dragon Vein Stone protectively in his arms and said, "In the end, the rampage of the dragon energy within you is your own fault, so why should I waste this precious Life Dragon Vein Stone?"

"Hey!"

To everyone's surprise, Tianhuilong simply turned his head away decisively, looking arrogant.

Su Yi thought to himself, "You really are impervious to both soft and hard approaches."

"Ahem, how about this, let's cooperate. I won't restrict your freedom, but you have to answer my call and help me fight. I'll use Life Dragon Vein Stones as payment. How about that?" Su Yi suggested as a compromise.

Given Tianhuilong's personality, if Su Yi tries to force it, it will absolutely refuse to submit even unto death. However, if they first try to negotiate in a cooperative manner, and then the two can get to know each other and work things out, they can at least become friends.

Helping out a few more times is still helping, and if they find that following Su Yi's commands helps them fight better, then it won't hurt to listen to him. And so it goes.

Upon hearing Su Yi's concession, Tianhuilong began to ponder: Currently, the best way to resolve the dragon energy rampage is through what Su Yi possesses, which could even allow him to advance further. Furthermore, he is indeed in the wrong, and he does not have an absolute advantage in the fight; he could also be trapped in the ball at any time.

In this light, the cooperation proposed by this creature seems reasonable.

"Screech~" The Heavenly Comet Dragon let out a peaceful hiss.

"Why don't you just nod?" Su Yi muttered.

Tianhuilong: Stare—!

"Tsk!" Su Yi curled his lip: It's like I'm begging you.

Is that so? It seems so...wait, wait, wait! Absolutely not!

Su Yi shook his head and said to Tianhuilong, "I'll take you back to that world tomorrow. Right now, it's best not to wander too far. I won't be responsible if you get beaten up!"

"Wow—!"

Before Su Yi could finish speaking, the Heavenly Comet Dragon unleashed its dragon energy and soared into the sky. Then, it accelerated again, speeding across the vast land.

Su Yi said, "They must be really bored."

"Meow~ I'm so sleepy, meow." Lucao rubbed her eyes and crawled into the tent.

Su Yi thought for a moment and went into the tent, muttering, "Fine, I believe you."

Chapter 295 The Stars Sleep on Earth

The next morning, Su Yi stepped out of the tent and saw Tianhuilong sleeping and resting to the side, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems it didn't intend to take this opportunity to escape. This is the first step in establishing basic trust between the two sides. Su Yi couldn't possibly create some kind of forced control device to install on the Sky Comet so that it could fly freely.

Facing a highly intelligent life form like the Sky Comet, using forceful methods would only backfire. Su Yi could only gain trust by actively believing in it and gradually build up mutual trust.

But when Su Yi looked closely, he noticed something was wrong: "Huh?! Tian Huilong, your injuries! Who did you fight?!"

It's quite obvious that Sky Comet has several new wounds on its body. They're not serious, but for Sky Comet to suffer such injuries, the opponent must be either a champion or a legendary Pokémon.

"Ah." The Heavenly Comet opened its eyes, let out a low growl, and then calmly fell back asleep. It didn't seem to show any anger or frustration, so it was impossible to tell whether it had won or lost.

"Sigh, if I leave you in the Pokémon world, you'll cause trouble for me sooner or later." Su Yi sighed, applied some medicine to the Sky Comet, and then put it back into its Poké Ball to rest.

Happy time is always short-lived.

On the third day of the festival, Mary continued her journey and went to challenge the Blaze Gym.

On the sixth day of the festival, Max, holding Jirachi, sadly boarded Butler's flying vehicle and embarked on a journey with Ash and his friends, as well as Su Yi, to send Jirachi back to its slumbering place.

"A narrow victory."

Having happily spent six days with Jirachi, the sudden farewell caused the immense disappointment that had been building up in Max's heart to erupt completely, and the feeling only intensified over time.

Seeing how upset Xiaosheng was, everyone was at a loss for how to comfort him. Infected by Xiaosheng's emotions, the group, including Jirachi, also became depressed.

The aircraft was very fast, passing through thousands of mountains and rivers, and a quartz sandstone peak forest landform appeared before everyone's eyes.

Towering rock peaks stand on the earth, like thousands of sword blades soaring into the sky.

"This is it!" Butler landed the aircraft at the top of a pillar-like rock peak.

At this moment, the sky gradually darkened, and night was quietly falling. The millennium-old comet still hung in the sky, but everyone knew that this was the comet's last night.

Jirachi floated out, gazing at the millennium-old comet in the sky, and murmured, "The stars are calling me."

From the surrounding rocky peaks and forests, Pokémon peeked out, looking up at Jirachi in the sky.

"No!" Max grabbed Jirachi's little hand, crying as he said, "We finally became friends, and we haven't even traveled to more interesting places yet."

"We'll be separated in the blink of an eye. The painful longing is worse than never having met in the first place!"

Jirachi floated into Max's arms, hugged him, and said, "Max, these past few days with you have been the happiest time of my life, so I have no regrets and I am very content. Now, I must complete my mission."

"This was also the happiest time of my life!" Xiao Sheng cried his eyes out.

“It’s my mission,” Su Yi said, looking at the lush land.

After absorbing the energy of the Millennium Comet, Jirachi will release that energy during its slumber, bringing life to the land.

Just like the ancient Longdu in the New World.

"So do not grieve. A thousand years of slumber is but a moment to Jirachi, but your memory will be eternal."

"You gave it eternal beautiful memories, and you won't forget this wonderful encounter either, will you?" Su Yi squatted down and patted Xiao Sheng's shoulder.

Victory wiped away his tears and said loudly, "I will never forget Jirachi! Never and ever!"

"Then say goodbye to your friends properly." Su Yi looked at Jirachi. He had already experienced life and death separations and was more open-minded about partings. He was already very satisfied that Jirachi could have more happy times than before.

Jirachi floated into the air, closed its eyes, and at the same time, the eye on its abdomen slowly opened, projecting a beam of light onto the Millennium Comet in the sky. Then, the energy of the Millennium Comet was poured into Jirachi's Eye of Truth.

Soon, the Eye of Truth absorbed enough energy and slowly closed.

Jirachi opened his eyes and looked at everyone: "Thank you everyone, I had a really, really happy time here~"

Then, Kirachi floated in front of Su Yi.

"The one chosen by the stars, this is my gift to you. Thank you for your help, which allowed Xiaosheng and me to enjoy this happy time."

With a flick of his tiny hand, Jirachi caused the white starlight to disappear into Su Yi's chest.

Su Yi touched his chest in surprise and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"This is a gift from the stars. Shine once more with the power of the stars, azure stars."

After Jirachi finished speaking, a look of drowsiness appeared on his face: "Would you like to hear my wish?"

"Jirachi's wish?"

"Sing for me, I'm going to sleep."

Xiao Yao started by singing the lullaby "Little Me" that her mother used to sing to her and Xiao Sheng. Xiao Sheng, who was sobbing uncontrollably, slowly hummed along.

"I love everyone so much."

Jirachi slowly closed his eyes, and a part of his body that looked like a piece of cloth gently wrapped around him, like a baby sleeping in swaddling clothes.

"Goodbye, Jirachi," Su Yi murmured, even though he knew this was the last time they would meet.

Jirachi transformed into a purple crystal similar to the Rainbow Crystal, and then slowly sank into the earth.

As the Jirachi crystals sank completely into the earth, rings of green energy spread outwards, covering the vast land and bringing it another thousand years of abundance and prosperity.

"A thousand cycles of reincarnation," Su Yi sighed softly, remaining silent for a long time.

In the early morning, Ash and his friends bid farewell to Butler and Su Yi, and began the next part of their journey.

Xiaosheng recovered from his slump and began to look forward to tomorrow, to meeting more Pokémon, and to deeply remembering his encounter with Jirachi.

Since he couldn't create any earth monsters to damage the environment, Butler thought for a night and decided to join Devon Corporation to utilize his research abilities.

Su Yi naturally supported him, so he called Daiwu.

"Oh? You actually managed to tame Mawile, that's really unexpected," Daigo exclaimed on the other end of the phone.

Su Yi: You're focusing on the wrong thing!

“Although you recommended him, I still need the company to verify his abilities. Just have him come directly to the company then,” Daigo said.

“That’s great, Butler.” Diane was happy that Butler had found a place to showcase his talents.

"Thank you, Su Yi. I will do my best to help you in any way I can in the future," Butler said solemnly.

“Yes, there really is,” Su Yi said, stroking his chin.
