Ash looked at the awakened man. How pitiful. "Alright, everyone, give it your all!" He left Eevee and Jigglypuff with May and the others since they weren't strong enough.
Even though the monster's power had reached Champion-level, it had no intelligence, so there was still a chance. But if the monster continued to absorb power, it could easily reach Champion-level, so there wasn't much time!
Ash took a deep breath and activated his Omni Ring: "Here, Pidgeot, Charizard, Tyranitar!" He threw the Mega Stones toward the three Pokémon, who quickly caught them!
"Mega Evolve!" If it weren't for the system's Keystone, he probably wouldn't have been able to handle three Pokémon Mega Evolving at the same time!
"Awoo~," "Pidge~," "Tyran~"
The Mega Evolution light faded, and Mega Charizard X, Mega Pidgeot, and Mega Tyranitar appeared! They began to attack the monster!
"Let's go, Pikachu! Electric-type moves aren't effective against Ground-types! Change your type!" Ash activated his Omni Ring again and took out a Tera Orb. "Pika~" Pikachu nodded seriously!
Change its type?! Are you kidding me?! (?⊿?)? The people next to Ash looked at him in surprise!
"Tera Orb, go! Terastallize!" Ash threw the Tera Orb at Pikachu. "Pika~" Crystals appeared all over Pikachu's body, and several balloons floated above its head! Tera Pikachu appeared!
"It's so beautiful!" May's eyes sparkled as she looked at Pikachu.
Everyone looked at Pikachu in shock. It was unbelievable.
Butler was the first to react, gritting his teeth. "Go, Salamence! We have to save Diane!"
"Mega Charizard X, Flamethrower! Mega Pidgeot, Air Slash! Mega Tyranitar, Snorlax, Hyper Beam! Pikachu, Tera Blast!" Ash calmly gave his commands!
"Salamence, Flamethrower!" A Dragon Pulse then burst out, joining the battle. It was Flygon, the other guardian of Forina!
The monster roared, and countless tentacles attacked Ash and the others!
At this moment, "The stars are calling me~" Jirachi began to open its "True Eye" again!
"Jirachi, you..." Max looked at Jirachi in surprise. Jirachi didn't respond, but it was clear that it wanted to use the power of the comet to defeat the Ground Monster!
Ash sensed what was happening with Max and shouted, "Butler, launch your strongest attack to create an opening for Jirachi!"
"Got it! Salamence, use a full-power Hyper Beam!" Flygon also launched a powerful Dragon Pulse!
"Mega Charizard X, use Outrage! Mega Pidgeot, use Brave Bird! Mega Tyranitar, Dark Pulse! Pikachu, Tera Blast!" Ash then activated the Z-Ring on his Omni Ring, and with the Snorlium Z, he directly infused the move into Snorlax. "Let's go! Snorlax, Pulverizing Pancake!"
"Snor~" Snorlax was the weakest, but with the Z-Move's boost, it became the strongest attack!
The combined attacks successfully destroyed a large number of tentacles, creating a clear path.
Jirachi's energy was now full. Its entire body glowed with white light. "Ash! I'm ready!" Jirachi's abdomen was filled with power.
Ash nodded. "The rest is up to you, Jirachi! Use Doom Desire!"
"Yes! My companion! Doom Desire!" Jirachi's body unleashed its true power as a Mythical Pokémon!
Jirachi erupted in a bright, dazzling light that shot through the sky! The Ground Monster instantly exploded, and then, multi-colored light lines fell like a meteor shower. The swallowed Pokémon and humans all returned one by one!
Butler ran over excitedly: "Diane..." "Butler!" After going through a life-or-death separation, they hugged each other tightly!
"Phew, we did it! Thank you, everyone!" "Awoo" "Pika" "Pidge" "Snor" "Tyran~"
"Eevee" "Jigglypuff" At this moment, Eevee and Jigglypuff ran over from a distance and jumped into Ash's arms. May and the others also rushed over.
"Yay! We won! We defeated the monster! Ash, you're amazing!" ?((???))? May looked at Ash in awe!
Jirachi, glowing all over, descended from the sky. "Jirachi, thank you!" Max quickly hugged Jirachi!
"Max, I love you so much! I love everyone so much because you've all been so good to me. We'll be friends forever!" Jirachi said, looking at everyone.
"That's right, we'll be friends forever!"
Jirachi then flew back into the air. "Thank you, Ash! I have to go back to sleep now, but here's a little bit of the comet's power to help you all!"
Specks of starlight fell. Charizard advanced to Pseudo-Champion - Late Stage, Tyranitar advanced to Pseudo-Champion - Mid Stage, Pidgeot advanced to Pseudo-Champion - Mid Stage, Snorlax advanced to Pseudo-Champion - Early Stage, and Jigglypuff advanced to Gym Leader - Late Stage! As for Pikachu and Eevee...
[Ding~ The "Star of the Seven Nights" achievement has been unlocked. Detecting comet power. Reward: Partner Power]
Afterward, a light of evolution shone from Pikachu and Eevee's bodies! "Ah! They're evolving?!" May pointed in surprise.
Brock was confused. Wasn't Pikachu against evolving?
"Are they evolving into Raichu and Espeon?!" Max asked in confusion. "But Pikachu didn't use a Thunder Stone!"
The light of evolution faded, and everyone looked confused [?_??], because neither Pikachu nor Eevee had changed at all. However, their strength had increased significantly.
[Partner Pikachu]
[Strength: Pseudo-Champion - Late Stage]
[Moves: Zippy Zap, Volt Tackle, Flying...]
[Partner Eevee]
[Strength: Gym Leader - Early Stage]
[Moves: Bouncy Bubble, Sappy Seed, Stored Power, Last Resort...]
[Zippy Zap: The higher the friendship, the greater the attack power.]
[Volt Tackle: Priority attack, hits opponent's weak point.]
[Bouncy Bubble: The higher the friendship, the greater the attack power.]
[Sappy Seed: Attacks the opponent and creates a magical wall that weakens physical attacks.]
"Everyone, would you be willing to listen to my wish?" Jirachi said from the sky.
"Jirachi's wish?" Max asked in surprise.
"I want to hear a song because I'm about to go to sleep!" Jirachi said!
"Jirachi..." Tears began to fall from Max's eyes. Finally, everyone sang a lullaby for Jirachi!
"Thank you all so much, I'm so happy and so joyful!" To the sound of everyone's voices, Jirachi slowly closed its eyes. The white cloth wrapped around its body, giving off a faint white light. It turned back into the purple crystal and sank into the ground for its thousand-year slumber.
A circle of green light spread out from the ground of Forina. The green light awakened Jirachi, and Jirachi returned the green light. It was a new cycle of a thousand years!
"Good night, Jirachi!" "Pikachu" "Eevee"
After the event, Butler turned himself in and fully cooperated with Officer Jenny's investigation into Team Magma. Diane also waited for Butler's return, ready to protect Forina with him.
Ash and his friends set off on their journey again. "Oh yeah, May, your Wish-Fulfilling Star..." Ash asked.
"Ah! I forgot about it last night!" May cried out in frustration, but she quickly cheered up. "Well, I'll make my own wishes come true!"
