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

It's obvious that someone is secretly fueling the Hoenn disaster, and they only did so after I intervened!

Mewtwo took the Red and Blue Orbs, depriving the Water and Fire Organization of the key to controlling the ancient Pokémon. Coupled with a series of recent blows, the two major villains of Hoenn are no longer able to cause trouble.

That's why the guys hiding in the shadows want to destroy Chimney Mountain!

He plans to exploit the climate imbalance on the Hoenn continent to cause the ancient Pokémon to awaken spontaneously, thus enabling him to directly unleash natural disasters without relying on anyone else!

Reverse the world...

Could this guy hiding in the shadows have really teamed up with Giratina?

(There's no point in worrying about those things now; let's think about something more practical.) The management wizard reminded us.

The problems involved in the Reversal World are far too complex to be solved in a short time, but the Millennium Comet's lifespan is only a few days.

(This time, I'm afraid I really have to use Jirachi's wish...) Ash thought to himself.

"Ash, is there a wish you want to fulfill?" Jirachi suddenly asked softly at this moment.

"You can sense it?" Ash asked curiously.

“Yes, I can understand Ash’s thoughts.” Jirachi nodded seriously. “Ash doesn’t like this place, and he doesn’t like the people he met before... but you still want to help them solve their problems.”

"I'm not helping them, I just can't bear to see the people and Pokémon around here suffer." Ash shook his head in denial, then asked hopefully, "Jirachi, would you grant my wish?"

"I do!" Little Star nodded vigorously, and the three wishing slips on her head lit up at the same time. "Xiao Zhi, quickly write down your wish!"

"Thank you so much." Ash asked Lillie for a pen and neatly wrote his wish on the first wishing sheet.

Hopefully, Yantushan can be restored to its original state.

hum~

The wishing note emitted a glow, and Jirachi, along with the two Cosmogs, rose into the air, summoning a shower of starlight that fell into the crater below.

"My wish... has been fulfilled!"

Rumble~

Suddenly, the entire Yantushan Mountain began to tremble violently, and the ashen magma inside the crater began to crack inch by inch, with red light and rolling heat waves rushing towards us!

Seeing this, Ash immediately lifted Lillie into the air and caught the little star as it drifted down, exhausted.

"Ash, my wish has come true... I'm so sleepy now~" Jirachi said, yawning.

"Go take a nap in your backpack, thank you for your hard work." Ash carefully put Jirachi back in his bag, and the little guy immediately fell fast asleep.

"Won't it just keep sleeping?" Lillie asked worriedly.

"No, it's just that making a wish takes a lot of energy," Ash comforted him. "You'll wake up after a night's rest."

boom!

At this moment, the magma of Yantushan Mountain suddenly began to erupt violently, and a column of fire rose steadily at the crater!

Strangely, it only erupted to the same height as Ash, and all the lava remained contained, without flowing out over a large area.

Upon closer inspection, it resembles a fountain of fire with its flow rate controlled, the flowing lava seemingly forming a platform at its highest point.

"What's going on? And it doesn't seem very hot," Lillie asked, puzzled.

She had never seen a volcano erupt like this before, and even though the lava was very close to them, she only felt a faint warmth, not even as scorching as the previous heat waves.

“This feeling… I understand.” Ash stared intently at the pillar of lava in front of him and quickly sensed it. “I wished to help it solve its problem, and Mt. Chimney wants to give back to me.”

After being revived by Jirachi's wish, Chimney Mountain no longer needs support in other worlds. From then on, it will only exist in the real world and will no longer be affected by any other world!

"What kind of feedback did the volcano give?"

"I can choose a Pokémon and absorb the natural energy it gives me." Ash thought for a moment, then summoned Typhlosion through the ring. "Go ahead, this one should be the best fit for you."

"Baku!" The Firestorm Beast also sensed the extraordinary energy before it. It leaped onto the lava platform and stood there steadily.

"You should train hard here and try to maintain the volcano's temperature," Ash encouraged with a smile. "Good luck, I have a surprise for you when you come back."

"Baku!!" The Firestorm Beast roared excitedly as the lava slowly sank into the volcano.

Ash had high expectations for it; once this training was over, Typhlosion would be able to catch up to the level of its Kanto partners.

The source of fire-type life will eventually find a new master.

...

"Ash, how's the situation at Mt. Chimney?" Steven rushed over to ask as soon as he returned to Farns via the Ring.

"Kirachi has solved the problem, and the climate in the north will gradually recover. You can go back and check."

"Great...that's wonderful!" Daigo was overjoyed. "Ash, I really want to thank you!"

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Daigo was willing to believe Ash.

He was now completely unable to contain his excitement. You see, choosing to believe in Ash had put him under immense pressure.

As it turned out, Xiao Zhi solved the problem without making him wait even an hour!

"You can thank Jirachi, it's not my doing. Besides, I also got some benefits from Mt. Chimney." In the end, Ash benefited from the whole thing, so there's no need for him to take credit.

"Anyway, I'm still grateful for your help," Daigo said earnestly. "I'll go back now and tell everyone the good news!"

He knew that Ash didn't like them much, so he wisely left immediately.

"I have to go too, otherwise Mom will worry. You stay here, Xiaoyao." Qianli then bid farewell to her daughter.

He was actually forced to come because of May, but he didn't expect Ash to be so decisive and directly chase away all the bystanders.

“Your name is Higana, right…” As she passed a certain Meteorite, Senri stopped and bowed deeply to her. “I am deeply sorry for what happened back then.”

In order to gain a foothold in Hoenn, Senri had no choice but to join the Rayquaza capture project. However, he had neither funds nor technology, so all he could do was act as a henchman.

Both he and Mura had actually fought against Xijiana.

"Hmph." Higana simply snorted coldly, not wanting to pay any attention to the other party.

She initially approached Xiaoyao with ill intentions, but now she realizes that Qianli is not a suitable target for revenge.

Moreover, having traveled together for some time, she really didn't want to hurt this...companion.

Lost in thought, Higana clutched the wishing star ornament tightly in her hand, as if it held all her hopes...

"Ash, I shouldn't be saying this from my position... but I still hope you'll be careful." Before leaving, Senri approached Ash one last time, "Even though the champion is vouching for you, the others may not let it go easily. They might resort to some special methods."

"Special means... does it refer to Larus's city defense system?" Ash's first thought was of the technology stolen by Giovanni.

“Besides that, there’s something else. It’s called ‘Flower’ and it’s a very powerful weapon.” Qianli said seriously. “Back then, it was that thing that greatly weakened Rayquaza’s power, which forced Shiona to risk Mega Evolving Rayquaza… Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to stop Rayquaza in its normal state.”

"A flower?" Xiao Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

If I remember correctly, this thing seems to be the Hoenn version of the ultimate weapon!

This weapon is powered by the living energy of Pokémon. According to the game's setting, the Zuvuch family has been researching this energy since Steven's great-grandfather.

Their submarine, Haiyuan 1, also adopted this technology.

"After the plan failed, Dewen advocated for the destruction of the actual 'flower' and related materials because it was too dangerous, but there was no guarantee that secrets wouldn't be leaked... That's all I know."

"This is already very valuable news," Ash said with a grateful smile.

Now, who will hold the reins of this 'flower'?

Chapter 706 Seven Nights of Wishing Stars: A Reunion and Separation Across a Thousand Years

"Did Jirachi really awaken Chimney Mountain?"

What is it like to make a wish?

The next morning, a group of girls surrounded Lillie and Little Star, chattering about the details of their wishes from the previous day.

Jirachi was sleeping too soundly, and Ash was talking to Steven and Senri as soon as he got back, so he didn't introduce them much at all.

"Oh dear, I can't really explain it." Lillie clutched her sun hat in frustration. "Anyway, Jirachi sensed Ash's feelings and offered to grant his wish."

“That’s true,” Ash nodded. “As long as Jirachi understands your thoughts, it will agree and you can make a wish.”

"Let's think of something together, and then wish for Ash to become the greatest trainer in the world!" May immediately suggested cheerfully.

However, after seeing everyone's kind smiles, she suddenly realized what was happening and awkwardly stuck out her tongue.

"Oh right, it seems like you don't need to make a wish for this..."

"I need to use one of the remaining two wishes... I promised a friend I'd help them fulfill a wish," Ash explained. "As for the last wish, you guys can make a plan."

"We...plan?" Serena was taken aback. Was Ash going to share his wishes with them?

"Everyone can think about what they wish for, and then leave the decision to Jirachi," Ash nodded. "Don't worry too much. As long as it can fulfill your wishes and won't hurt others, it's a good wish."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought, and Xijiana was particularly shaken.

She didn't know if this "everyone" included her...

They spent the whole day thinking about their wishes, but none of them made a final decision.

Jirachi didn't seem to notice the intense emotions, and simply followed Ash around, enjoying the scenery.

That evening, Ash activated the rings again.

This time, not only Lillie, but all her companions traveled together to Girls' Gorge in Kanto.
