Chapter 552: The Wish Star That Can Fulfill Any Wish
Pokémon Center.
"So you mean, the power of Hoopa sealed in the Prison Bottle has given birth to its own personality. It feels extremely angry about being sealed for a hundred years, so it plans to replace Hoopa and take revenge on the humans of Dahara City?"
"Pretty much."
On the other side of the camera, Will nodded.
Looking at the main cast in the screen, he couldn't help feeling emotional.
Having been in the Pokémon world for so many years.
This was truly the first time he had seen Ash.
As for the other female leads, he had seen two or three of them.
"In that case, if the Prison Bottle is opened, wouldn't Hoopa be in danger."
Serena looked at the other companions worriedly.
"As long as the Prison Bottle isn't opened, it should be fine, right."
Clemont spread his hands.
"But Baraz and Meray don't know about this. They think Hoopa is very good now, so they plan to help him get his power back." Bonnie said anxiously, hurriedly reaching out to pull N's clothes,
"N, we have to stop them quickly."
"Baraz and Meray? Who?"
Will frowned.
He had completely no impression of these two names.
But he could roughly imagine who they were talking about.
In the movie, Hoopa seemed to have two good friends; calling them its trainers wouldn't be an exaggeration either.
Will recalled the appearances of those two people in his mind, unable to help frowning.
"Residents of Arche Valley, Hoopa's friends."
"Stop them."
"Mm."
N nodded and immediately hung up the phone.
Although he wanted to chat with his family a bit more, matters have priorities and urgencies.
Right now, the most important thing is to tell Baraz and Meray about this matter first.
"I'll go to Arche Valley to find them. You guys have fun in Dahara City first. I heard the donuts here are famous worldwide~"
N smiled and stroked Bonnie's small head.
Subsequently, he directly Teleported tens of meters into the air. The Poké Ball at his waist flashed, and the White Dragon Reshiram appeared, carrying N and swiftly sweeping towards the direction of Arche Valley.
On the other side.
At home in Celestic Town.
Will lay back on the sofa, enjoying Mother Kaoru cleaning his ears.
Looking at the long hair on her head that had faded from golden yellow to light yellow, Will's ears couldn't help drooping.
"Hm?"
Kaoru, who was quite knowledgeable about Pokémon like Lucario, tilted her head in confusion. She reached out and rubbed Will's ear,
"What's wrong? Uncomfortable?"
"Mm~"
Will shook his head.
"Are you worried that Mom will suddenly leave one day?"
Kaoru raised her hand and stroked Will's head.
Will was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, but didn't say a single word.
No thoughts can be hidden from her.
"Mom also often worries about you guys like this."
Kaoru sighed.
Will understood what she meant.
How dangerous the job of Champion is, he believes Kaoru knows very well.
However.
Her daughter succeeding her position and continuing to protect everyone in Sinnoh is also something that makes Kaoru very proud.
"I will protect Cynthia well."
Will pursed his lips.
"Also protect yourself well."
Kaoru bent down and kissed the dog's forehead.
"Mm."
Will closed his eyes.
His consciousness gradually sank.
Must protect Cynthia well.
Must also protect everyone living in this land well.
The scene changed.
Three days later.
Will stood on the Spear Pillar at the summit of Mt. Coronet, accompanying Cynthia in studying the mysterious inscriptions carved on the Spear Pillar.
"No good, still can't understand it."
Cynthia frowned and stepped back.
She couldn't understand a single one of the mysterious symbols on the Spear Pillar.
Perhaps it wasn't left by humans.
Not getting a response from Lucario.
Cynthia turned around in confusion, only to see Will standing quietly at the edge of the Spear Pillar, looking up at the sky in a daze.
"What's wrong?"
Cynthia walked over.
"Nothing..."
Will shook his head, somewhat dazed,
"Cynthia, do you believe there are parallel worlds?"
"Parallel worlds?"
"Mm, in another world, there are other versions of us, doing other things."
Will nodded quietly, turning his head to look at Blonde-kun beside him.
In his previous life.
He wouldn't say he had absolutely no connection with the Cynthia of that world.
But they indeed weren't that familiar.
He was more familiar with Aunt Kaoru of that world, knowing many of her little secrets unknown to others.
"Perhaps there are. If there is such a world, I'd really like to go see it, to see me, Mom, and Will in another world."
Cynthia smiled and pressed down her wind-blown long hair.
"What Pokémon do you think could let us go to that kind of parallel world?"
"Emmm... Palkia should be able to, right? The 'God of Space', should be able to traverse space, right?"
Hearing Cynthia's words, Will couldn't help smiling bitterly and shaking his head.
Palkia isn't that powerful.
What he can do is limited to controlling the space of this world.
Wanting to open up a spatial wormhole leading to another world, relying on his own power is absolutely impossible to achieve.
"Sigh." Will couldn't help sighing secretly.
"If even Palkia can't do it, then Arceus can definitely do it."
"Should be able to."
Will nodded helplessly.
With Arceus's abilities, of course he can.
Even just an avatar might be able to let him find the big cat (Litten/Incineroar).
But that guy Arceus.
Is like a divine dragon whose head is seen but not its tail (elusive).
The more you want to find him, the deeper he hides.
Even if you specifically go to plot points to block him, you might not necessarily meet him; this is something Will has already tried.
"But Arceus is very hard to find. Perhaps... Ah! I got it! Have you heard of the legendary 'Wish Star that can fulfill any wish'?"
"...Jirachi?!"
Will's eyes suddenly lit up.
Right!
How could he have forgotten this little guy!
Jirachi.
Known as the Mythical Pokémon that can fulfill any wish.
Such a legend has been passed down since the distant past:
When it wakes up from a 1000-year slumber, it will fulfill the wishes written on the wish tags on its head.
However.
Actually, Jirachi isn't that overpowered.
It's not like any outrageous wish can be fulfilled.
For example, wishing to kill Arceus, that would purely be making things difficult for Jirachi.
Wishing for the world to be destroyed, it also couldn't directly fulfill it, but would achieve this goal through some indirect means, and midway it might even be stopped, resulting in failure.
So.
In order not to waste the opportunity to make a wish.
It's best to make a wish within Jirachi's capabilities.
Overall.
This exclusive ability of Jirachi is still very powerful.
At least...
'Can give me some clues and avenues to find the big cat, right?'
Will's gaze was burning, the depths of his eyes full of excitement.
"Cynthia, you're awesome!"
Will happily hugged Blonde-kun beside him.
When he finds the big cat in the future, he'll let the big cat accompany Cynthia to go out and play; they will definitely get along well.
"Hm?"
Cynthia tilted her head somewhat bewilderedly.
"Haha, it's nothing. You'll know in the future."
Will reached out and gently patted her head.
Right now his mood was incomparably joyful.
Arceus could definitely lead him to find the big cat, or even directly bring the big cat to him.
But Arceus itself is hard to find.
He might meet it tomorrow.
Or he might not meet it for a hundred million years.
Even if he meets Arceus, it might not necessarily be willing to help him fulfill his wish.
So.
Will won't pin his hopes on Arceus.
Jirachi might not be as powerful as Arceus, but at the very least it can give him some clues or avenues.
Moreover.
Jirachi almost certainly appears once every thousand years.
At worst, he just has to wait a thousand years to meet it.
A thousand years.
Is very long.
But Will can afford to wait.
Even.
Will can use this thousand years to search for the power that can bring people beside him back from the dead, and gain 'immortality'.
That way.
Even if the big cat has turned into dry bones by the time he finds her, Will can immediately pull her back from the underworld.
"Hmm hum~"
Will's lips curled up, humming a song in a joyful mood.
Cynthia looked at him like this and smiled, shaking her head.
Although she didn't know why Lucario was so happy, seeing him happy made her happy too.
"By the way, how are things on N's side?"
Cynthia suddenly asked.
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be a big problem. Handing it over to N and Reshiram to handle, I'm very relieved."
Will shook his head.
He actually wasn't anxious at all.
The cause of the Super Djinn incident is quite simple; everything is attributed to that 'Prison Bottle'.
As long as Baraz is stopped, and N uses telekinesis to move the Prison Bottle away, then the Super Djinn incident won't happen.
It's just that the little Hoopa might have no way to restore its peak strength.
"True. And, it's useless to worry. The Kalos region is so far away, even if something really happened, we wouldn't be able to provide support."
Cynthia nodded.
Buzz—
Her voice had just fallen.
A golden ring appeared beside Will.
Looking at Hoopa's shadow glaring at him from the other side of the ring like a tiger watching its prey, Will's brain went a bit blank for a moment.
Ah... it's little Hoopa's ring.
Right.
They themselves have no way to provide support.
But the 'Scooping Little Djinn' Hoopa Confined can directly cross space and use its ring to forcefully scoop them over.
"Will, come quickly!"
N's anxious voice came from the other side.
Following that, his hand reached through the ring and grabbed Will, pulling him towards the other side of the ring.
"Lucario!"
Cynthia, who similarly hadn't reacted, subconsciously took two quick steps, hurriedly wanting to follow Will.
However.
Will pushed her back at this moment,
"Don't come! It's dangerous! Go home and wait for me!"
Will didn't have time to think that much.
He only knew.
He might have to deal with a full seven Master-level Legendary Pokémon next.
Once the battle starts, he will absolutely have no time to attend to Cynthia's safety.
And with Garchomp and the others' strength, they might not necessarily be able to protect Cynthia well in this crisis.
So.
Absolutely cannot let Cynthia come over.
Too dangerous!
He had promised Kaoru to protect Cynthia well.
Blonde-kun, having been pushed, froze in place.
Looking at the ring that had already disappeared in front of her, the hand she had raised fell weakly.
Cynthia's head drooped.
The beautiful bow on her head fell to the ground.
Her long golden hair fell down, covering her expression at this moment.
