Chapter 461: Searching for Jirachi and Teaming up with Absol

The sun was shining brightly, and the scorching sun was pouring down on this rich and magnificent quartz sandstone peak forest.

Looking around, this rugged and special landform extended all the way to the distant horizon, with mountains and forests everywhere, and winding rivers passing through the sandstone peak forest.

Standing on the peak and looking down, there was no sign of human existence within a hundred miles.

In addition, the water resources here are abundant, and the green forest valley is full of plump wild fruits, which is enough to make people imagine how large a number of wild Pokémon communities live here.

The three Pokémon of the hero expedition team who followed the rumors of Jirachi all the way slowly landed on a hilltop.

Mew and Baby Bear flew out from the Zapdos and looked at this beautiful and spectacular forest with it.

The baby bear was attracted by the scene here, and he couldn't help muttering:

"Imo...Imo?" (So beautiful...Is this the Fauns region?)

"Miu?"

Dream tilted his head and looked down at the scene below with his beautiful blue eyes.

If the King Swallow was right, this should be the Fauns region, where Jirachi was sleeping.

Zapdos was also looking at this strange land.

"Chiu." (Anyway, go down and ask and you'll know.)

Hearing this, the three Pokémon of the Great Hero Expedition Team looked at each other, and then flew down together.

This place, like other places, also has many Pokémon.

Parasol, Thunder Beast, Straight Bear, Tropical Dragon, Longnose Leaf, Tanabata Bluebird...

These local Pokémon soon noticed the three strange visitors.

The three members of the Great Hero Expedition Team also saw them.

In order to find out about Jirachi, Meow flew to a group of Parasaurolophus and asked:

"Miu?" (Excuse me, is Jirachi here?)

Hearing the unfamiliar name Jirachi, the Parasaurolophus seemed a little confused.

"Nosa?" (Jirachi? Who is that?)

"Miu!" (It's a Pokémon that looks like a star!) Meow replied, Naoki said so.

But the Parasaurolophus still shook their heads.

The bear cub on the side murmured: "Imo." (It seems that they don't know Jirachi.)

So what should we do now?

The bear cub quickly thought of a good idea!

They can just ask Naoki directly through the Rotom phone!

Thinking of this, the bear cub called out the Rotom phone and said to it: "Imo!" (Rotom phone, please help us contact Naoki!)

"Received Loto!"

The Rotom phone screen flashed twice, and then the call interface appeared on it.

With two rings on the phone, the video call was finally connected.

Naoki's face appeared on the other side of the screen.

Through the screen, Naoki noticed the special landform behind the baby bear.

He recognized their location at a glance.

"It seems that you have successfully arrived in the Farnes region." Naoki said.

The special landform in the Farnes region is very unique in the entire Pokémon world.

After all, its prototype is Wulingyuan in China.

"One!" Baby bear nodded repeatedly.

Then, it reported to Naoki the difficulties it had encountered.

"One..." (It's just that the Pokémon here don't seem to know Jirachi...)

Mew on the side was also puzzled.

So, several Pokémon looked at the screen together, waiting for Naoki's answer.

"I think I should know what's going on."

After a brief thought, Naoki thought of the reason.

"Because the characteristic of Jirachi is that it can only wake up once every thousand years, and it has been a thousand years since it last woke up. These Pokémon were born later, so it is understandable that they don't know it."

"Yi-mo?!" Baby Bear frowned immediately. How can they find Jirachi?

"This is easy." Naoki continued: "You should first find a Pokémon named Absol. It should know the location of Jirachi."

There is an Absol in that movie. It seems to be the guardian of Jirachi and can track Jirachi's location. In the end, it guided Xiaozhi and others to the Faunus area to let Jirachi complete his mission.

Hearing this, Baby Bear quickly turned his head and asked the group of Parasaurolophus: "Yi-mo?" (Do you know Absol?)

The Parasaurolophus know.

Absol, the guardian of this land of Faunus, they have been helped by each other.

Although it was unknown what the three strange Pokémon wanted to see Absol for, one of the Parasaurolophus still offered them help.

It pointed in a direction and said, "Nosa!"

It meant that Absol lived over there.

Mew and Baby Bear looked over there, thanked the Parasaurolophus first, and then rode Zapdos to fly over there.

During this time, the video call on Rotom's phone was not disconnected.

Naoki also took the opportunity to observe the Fenzi region and the wild Pokémon living there through the screen.

Long-nosed leaves standing on the big tree, the Tropical Dragons gathering by the river to drink water, and the vigilant Coyote Dogs in the bushes...

I have to say that there are really many types of Pokémon that live there.

This situation is also inevitable.

Jirachi absorbs the energy from the Millennium Comet, and then uses this energy to nourish the earth, making the soil fertile and the vegetation more lush.

If the soil is fertile, rich resources will grow on the land, allowing more wild Pokémon to be raised.

But there is still a problem.

What should he do to stop Jirachi from sleeping?

Reversal series of dishes?

Even if it doesn't turn Jirachi's characteristic Heavenly Grace into Heavenly Punishment...

Then think about it another way.

It is known that Jirachi can absorb the energy from meteors and feed them to the land of Farns.

As far as Naoki knows, the natural energy in the World Tree can also do this.

So the question is, if Jirachi absorbs enough natural energy, can it be prevented from falling asleep?

While Naoki was thinking, a strange Pokémon suddenly appeared in front of the Heroes expedition team.

It was a four-legged Pokémon with white fur, a pair of red eyes, and a bow-like horn on its head.

The Absol was looking calmly at the Pokémon that broke into the place.

Baby Bear and Dream also discovered each other.

Naoki introduced them: "It is Absol."

Human voice?

Absol's eyes instantly turned to the Rotom mobile phone floating in the air.

Mengmeng looked at Absol, and then asked: "miu?" (Hello, Absol, do you know Jirachi?)

Upon hearing the name Jirachi, Absol's eyes instantly became alert.

It glanced at the human and then at the three strange Pokémon.

"Ouch?" (What's wrong with you?)

Baby Bear keenly noticed the change in Absol's tone.

It soon realized that the Pokémon in front of it seemed to have misunderstood something, so it quickly explained:

"One, one, one!" (We are a heroic expedition team, not a bad Pokémon! The reason why we want to find Jirachi is because we want to help it so that it doesn't have to wake up every one thousand years!)

Hearing this, Absol fell silent.

As Jirachi's guardian, it is naturally aware of Jirachi's situation.

only……

Thinking of this, Absol looked at the three Pokémon in front of him and said: "Ouch." (Jirachi has disappeared.)

Missing?

Hearing this, the three Pokémon in the Hero Expedition were slightly startled.

Absol turned around and led them to a cave.

"Ouch." (Jirachi was supposed to be sleeping there, but three days ago, it disappeared. The nearby Pokémon said that humans had been around here, but I couldn't track him.)

Only when Jirachi wakes up can it determine Jirachi's position by following its breath.

"What..." Baby Bear suddenly had a bad idea.

Could it be that Jirachi was captured by a human trainer?

Upon hearing this, Absol immediately said: "Ouch!" (Impossible! Jirachi hasn't woken up yet, so it's impossible for him to make his own decision!)

"Absol is right." At this time, Naoki's voice sounded again.

Absol immediately set his sights on the human in the machine.

Naoki noticed Absol's gaze and explained to it with a smile:

"Absol, don't worry, we have no ill intentions. I am Naoki. I am looking for Jirachi this time because I just want to help it."

The baby bear on the side nodded repeatedly: "One!" (That's right! It was Naoki who entrusted us to come here to help Jirachi!)

Mew also said: "miu~" (Naoki is a very good human being~)

Absol was not a fool. He did not believe it immediately, but remained suspicious of this matter.

Because it was the human who kidnapped Jirachi, it was not sure whether what the human said was true, or whether he was also trying to capture Jirachi.

Absol fell into silence.

At this time, Naoki had already found the location of the Pokémon Park online and sent it to Baby Bear and Mew.

If he guessed correctly, the crystallized Jirachi has now been taken away by Butler, the former scientist of Team Lava.

Butler and his girlfriend Diane will hold a grand Pokémon amusement park near Farnes for visitors to have fun and spend the seven days together during the arrival of the Millennium Comet.

They also held ticket sales events online to attract tourists.

Of course, all this is just an appearance.

Butler's true purpose is to absorb cosmic energy through Jirachi in order to create a Groudon from Groudon's fragments to prove himself to Team Molten.

And all the money he earned from opening the amusement park was invested in research.

"Okay, I have sent Jirachi's possible current location, Dream Bear Baby and Lightning Bird. You can get there by following the navigation."

"But there are still a few days before the arrival of the Millennium Comet, and Jirachi may not have woken up yet,"

Hearing this, Baby Bear and Meng Meng were filled with surprise.

"One!"

"miu!"

As expected of Naoki, he is so reliable!

And the Absolu had a look of astonishment on his face.

How did this human know Jirachi's location?

Meng began to determine the location of the Pokémon Park on Rotom's mobile phone. After discovering that it was not far from here, he immediately prepared to go there.

The baby bear looked back at Absol and invited it: "One, one, one!" (Absol, come with us to help Jirachi!)

Absol: "..."

Thinking of his suspicions about this human and the three Pokémon, Absol looked away with some embarrassment.

But now compared to itself, Jirachi's things are obviously more important.

"Ouch." (Then I'll leave it to you.)

Seeing that the Heroes expedition team had successfully reunited with Absol, Naoki felt a little relieved.

"Then you guys go over there first. I'm also going to study a way to keep Jirachi awake. If anything happens, contact me." He said.

"One!"

Baby Bear responded happily and then hung up the phone.

In order not to attract other people's attention, Mew used the Poké Ball to take the Lightning Bird inside.

It transformed into a blue wool bird, rode on Absol's back with the baby bear, and followed the navigation of Rotom on the phone to the venue of the Pokémon Park.

Naoki, on the other hand, walked out of the house and looked thoughtfully at the Pokémon playing in the pasture.

As far as he knew, there was not only one Jirachi in the world.

But whether it is Jirachi in Farnes or Jirachi elsewhere, they all retain the ecological habit of sleeping for thousands of years and waking up in seven days.

Of course, not all Jirachi need to absorb the energy from the Millennium Comet.

This Jirachi in the Farnes area is very special. It absorbs natural energy not for itself, but to nurture the entire land of Farnes.

And judging from the performance in the theatrical version, Jirachi is not as able to directly help wishers realize their wishes as rumored.

Its ability is more focused on transferring items. When a wisher makes a wish to it for endless food, Jirachi will use its superpowers to transfer food from other places.

Therefore, directly wishing Jirachi to keep her from falling asleep would not work.

Naoki walked forward, crossed the path in the pasture, and came to the lake that connected the reverse world.

Then, he crossed the lake and came to the reverse world, and came to the world tree unimpeded.

Naoki did not go up, but stood on the empty island at the bottom, deep in thought.

Will dishes made using the leaves of the World Tree be effective on Jirachi?

Before the world tree had grown, he had made a dish called leaf cake using leaves.

That dish has three effects in total.

They are: permanently increasing the power of grass-type moves by 25%, when grass-type Pokémon use grass energy to cultivate crops, they can shorten the growth period of crops, and the last Lord of the World Tree is only effective for him.

While Naoki was meditating, a magical scene happened.

As if the World Tree in front of him felt his thoughts, a green light suddenly lit up on the huge tree crown.

In the light, two leaves exuding gleaming light slowly fell down and landed in front of Naoki.

Naoki was slightly startled.

He looked down, and the next second, the information about the two leaves emerged from his mind.

[Leaves of Awakening: Leaves with magical effects. Use them to make dishes that can keep certain Pokémon awake without falling asleep. 】

[Leaves of Life: The leaves of the World Tree have rich natural energy. Placing them somewhere can nourish the ecological environment of that place and make it rich and beautiful. 】

?

Seeing these two leaves falling in front of him, Naoki was slightly startled.

He then looked up in disbelief at the World Tree in front of him.

Could it be... is the World Tree helping him?

As far as he knows, this world seems to have natural will...

The power of Changpan is the embodiment of the will of nature.

Nature will give this power to the chosen humans.

After pondering for a long time, Naoki roughly guessed the current situation.

The natural will on the World Tree felt his current troubles, so it took the initiative to help him!

Is this the effect of "Lord of the World Tree"?

So scary!

*

Out of all the universes, Arceus stared at the human named Naoki.

"Interesting. Even if you have never met that Pokémon and have only heard rumors about it, are you willing to take the initiative to help it?"

"In that case, then I will give you a gift."

Arceus' thoughts moved slightly, and two leaves slowly fell from the tree.

As the God of Creation, He doesn't mind changing the rules of that Pokémon himself.

As for why he wanted to help that human being, it was because He saw a new possibility in him.

There is not only one world in these universes, some worlds are peaceful and stable, and some worlds are in danger.

Arceus needs some people to help those worlds that are about to be destroyed.

He took a fancy to the Pokémon organization called the Hero Expedition organized by Naoki.

This is not the first time He has done this.

Long ago, Arceus selected a human named "Xiao Zhao" from a certain world, transferred her to the Xicui area troubled by the cracks in time and space, and gave her Arceus's mobile phone.

The image of the human named Zhishu lowering his head to pick up the two leaves was reflected in Arceus' pupils.

He was young at that time and didn't know that all the gifts of fate had been secretly marked with a price.
