Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

As night fell on the first day, Ash and his friends found a clean, large rock outside the amusement park, sat there together, and looked at the sky, hoping for the appearance of the Millennium Comet.

"coming!"

A gentle breeze blew by, and everyone seemed to have a premonition at the same time. The dark clouds overhead had been blown away by the wind, and the comet's formation was gradually revealed.

It was like a ribbon of light that pierced the night sky, stretching from afar to above everyone's heads, trailing a gradually fading comet tail.

At this moment, the entire amusement park was pitch black, and the starlight in the sky seemed to have dimmed, leaving only this one bright spot in the sky!

"So beautiful..." The girls were immediately captivated by her beauty.

"I want to make a wish! Higana, hurry up!" Haruka immediately folded up a corner of the wishing star, urging Higana to hurry up as well.

"Don't rush me... it won't hurt if it's a little later." Xijiana reluctantly finished folding the wishing star, but she felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.

Now that Jirachi is under Ash's control, her wish is probably impossible to fulfill...

"hu~hu~"

After the little incident, everyone was still watching the comet in the sky with great interest, but the two little ones had already fallen asleep while hugging Jirachi's crystal.

Seeing this, Xiaoyao hummed a melodious and soothing tune beside them.

"This is a lullaby that my mom sings to my brother and me. I don't know if they like it," the girl said with a sweet smile.

"They'll definitely love this beautiful music."

Ash wasn't just being polite; Jirachi genuinely loved the song, and was so happy he almost woke up...

"The stars... are calling me!"

The crystal in Ash's hand suddenly emitted a bright light, accompanied by a child's innocent voice. It slowly floated into the air and gradually transformed into a star-shaped Pokémon.

It looks like a doll wearing a star hat, with two ribbons tied behind it and a blue note on each of the three pointed corners on its head. It looks extremely cute overall.

The little guy had clearly just woken up. It floated back into Xiao Zhi's arms and looked around groggily.

"Hello, Jirachi!" Ash greeted with a smile. "I'm Ash, it's nice to meet you."

"Ash..."

"Hello, I'm Serena!" "I'm Haruka, I was singing for you just now!" "Lillie, nice to meet you!" "I'm Nanami." "Higana."

Everyone eagerly surrounded Jirachi to introduce him, and Little Star repeated everyone's names in his childish voice. Before long, Jirachi's dizzy eyes really did start to sparkle.

During this time, it also searched anxiously.

Although the people around it were kind, they were not the ones who awakened it.

"These are the ones you're looking for." Ash lifted the two sleeping little ones next to Jirachi.

“They…that’s right, they have the power of the stars, very strong!” Jirachi immediately stepped forward happily, hugging them one in each arm.

This action startled the two Star Children, but unlike before, they showed no signs of wanting to cry. Instead, they happily hugged Jirachi.

The three little ones quickly became friends and started floating around in the air, playing happily together. The two nebulae even introduced Jirachi to their little nest—Lillie's backpack, which made Jirachi bite its fingers with envy.

"Can I... go in and lie down for a bit too?" Kira asked hopefully.

"Of course! Come on over!" Lillie was flattered and quickly opened her backpack for Jirachi.

After Little Star lay down inside, the backpack suddenly felt much narrower, but the two little ones didn't mind and squeezed in together, all soft and squishy.

The three little ones rummaged through the backpack for a while, and then burst into laughter all at once.

"Their relationship has become so good, is it because they are both connected to the universe?" Serena asked curiously.

"Probably, after all, Cosmog is a Star Child," Ash nodded.

It is said that, whether it is the sun god or the moon god, they are undoubtedly the most important stars for the planet.

"Jirachi, I have something to tell you." After letting Little Star play for a while, Ash used his Psychic Power on it and told it about the current situation, quickly gaining Jirachi's trust.

"You can stay with us for now. We'll keep you safe and send you back to Farns once things are settled here."

"Okay, I understand!" Jirachi replied in a sweet, childlike voice, nestled comfortably inside the backpack.

"They should be here by now." After calming Jirachi down, Ash looked towards the amusement park and sure enough, he saw Butler and Flareon rushing over.

"You're all here... Has Jirachi woken up?" Butler asked anxiously.

"Gentlemen, is there any need for us to continue this charade?" Ash grinned. "Former Team Magma scientist Butler and Captain codenamed Fire Goose actually handed over Jirachi so easily. I really have to thank you for your generosity."

"It was my carelessness..." Huo Yan said quietly, glaring at Lillie with a venomous look.

The appearance of Alola's female characters in Hoenn undoubtedly caught Goose off guard.

"However... you won't be able to take Jirachi away!" Firebird suddenly waved her hand, and a group of Team Magma minions suddenly surrounded them from all sides, followed by a pack of Mightyenas and Zubats!

"Ha, is that all?" Ash scoffed dismissively, as he, Alakazam, Latias, and Mewtwo unleashed their psychic powers together!

hum!

The invisible energy seemed to transform into an inverted giant bowl, spreading outwards from Ash's center. No matter where it was, all the minions that dared to step forward were blasted away, even Dark-types were not spared!

"Let them choose their own opponents; consider it practice." After breaking through the opponent's encirclement with a full-force attack, Ash didn't pursue them relentlessly. Instead, he let his companions have a practice battle.

These guys aren't going to cause any trouble. Based on the principle that waste is shameful, Xiao Zhi doesn't mind spending a little time controlling the situation so the girls can get a few more experience points.

"Swoosh!" Just then, an Absol suddenly darted out from the shadows and unleashed a whirlwind blade at Lillie without warning!

"Absol... how could I forget about it?" Ash frowned.

He waved his hand to disperse the attack, and was about to explain to the other party when Absol was already being focused on by several nearby Team Magma henchmen.

“Absol came to pick me up,” Jirachi said weakly.

"I know, but it's blatantly giving it away," Ash shrugged helplessly.

Fortunately, Serena came to the rescue immediately. With the help of Togekiss and Mawile, they repelled several henchmen and saved Absol.

On the other side, Higanbana didn't hold back either. She put on the Super Bracelet, unleashed her Mega Evolution, and commanded her Dragon-type Pokémon to unleash their full power, directly beating a group of minions to a pulp.

With her acting as the tank in front, Haruka and Lillie, who were originally in the protective position, became bolder and sent their partners to secretly launch sneak attacks.

As for the higher-ups, Nanami went directly to her old friend.

"It's you?" Huo Yan was taken aback when she suddenly saw Nanami with Chansey and Clefairy.

"It's been so many years, and you've actually joined Team Magma... What, you can't even be a proper Coordinator anymore?" Nanami asked in a relaxed yet flippant tone, which was how she used to treat campfires.

"This has nothing to do with you..."

"It's for Crimson Pine, isn't it? I really don't understand what's so great about that guy that's worth you going through all this trouble." Nanami looked her up and down. "Tsk tsk... that expression, that outfit, it looks a bit perverted~"

"Stop your nonsense!" Huo Yan's tone became sharp, and even her speech became more coherent than before. "No matter what, I'm still better than you, an old cow eating young grass! Hmph, you're always hanging out with a brat, do you dare say you two aren't having an affair?"

"So what if he does? Ash isn't just young, he's really strong too." Nanami raised an eyebrow and smiled. "I enjoy myself anytime, anywhere, unlike you, who can only follow that old man, Red Pine... and he might not even even be interested in you!"

"You...you bastard! Fire-breathing camel, burn her face with your flames!" Fire Goose was so angry that her feathers bristled, and she screamed as she ordered the fire-breathing camel to attack.

"Heh, your skills haven't improved, but your temper has grown quite a bit... In the past Grand Contests, when have you ever won against me? Clefairy, Moon Power!" Nanami wasn't going to back down either, and Clefairy's Moonburst attack was unleashed!

Boom!

The fierce flames and powerful energy, mixed with the two women's years of 'deep affection', collided violently, ultimately turning into a violent explosion!

"Mr. Magician, let's begin." Ash finally faced off against Butler.

"You... damn it! Why did you stop me? Why?!" In an instant, Butler went berserk and threw out all the Poké Balls in his hand.

The show featured a Mightyena, Kirlia, Night Giant, and a pseudo-legendary Salamence!

"Makkus, Treecko, and Corphish, get ready!" Ash deployed the three Hoenn Pokémon specifically for this situation. "As for Salamence, Talonflame will handle it..."

"Spar!"

But when it came to the final opponent, one of them jumped out of the Poké Ball on its own!

Chapter 702 Seven Nights of Wishing Stars, All Because of Love~

Sending a low-level domestic bird to fight a quasi-divine ultimate form is, generally speaking, a decision only someone with a screw loose would make.

However, Taillow isn't without a chance to win... provided it's willing to execute the tactics Ash usually explains during the battle!

In retrospect, Aoguyan's opening move was quite good.

By establishing a speed advantage through high movement, I then began to attempt attacks using rage, while also knowing to dodge attacks, especially avoiding a direct confrontation with the opponent's destructive beam...

"Fierce~" (I just don't know how long this can last~)

The Arrowhawk, whose opponent had been stolen, leaped out of the ball and circled in the air to watch the two fight.

"Keep an eye on it, make sure nothing goes wrong," Ash instructed, then began multitasking, keeping an eye on the other matches.

Given the small size of the Swellow, a battle against Bloodwing is destined to be a protracted one, and the Wood Gecko and its companions will surely emerge victorious first.

The battle unfolded in this way, and before long, the other three had gained a decisive advantage.

Mudkip faced off against Butler's Mightyena. Although the Mightyena had the God-tier Intimidate ability, it couldn't withstand Mudkip's Rock Smash.

Not only does it have elemental advantage, but it also has a 50% chance to reduce defense. After taking a few hits, the Great Wolfhound started to lose its bearings.

When the Lobster Soldier faced the Night Giant, it was a one-sided massacre. After the Lobster Soldier got close with a water jet, it swung its fists and smashed everything in its path.

With its ability to counter Ghost's Knock Down and its adaptive, STAB Crab Punch, Night Giant, no matter how tough it is, can hardly withstand it and is forced to use Will-O-Wisp to weaken the Lobster's attack power.
