I, Zhulan's childhood sweetheart, was trapped in Xicui.

But Xu Li thought it was just a small lake.

On the island north of the Blue Coast, Wangdao Beach. Atop the central mountain, Xu Li gazed at the legendary fourth lake of the Sinnoh region, feeling the sea breeze and the setting sun. He yawned nonchalantly.

Behind him——

Dialga, Palkia, Rayquaza, Yveltal, and the tornado that was instilling the spirit of struggle into the land clouds and lightning clouds.

Xu Li was already well prepared.

The Divine Beast Man of the Sinnoh Tournament? What a joke! The real Divine Beast Man is here!

Dialga and Palkia exchanged a glance, and Palkia suddenly revealed a somewhat sly expression, eager to try and rubbing his hands. Rayquaza looked at these two unassuming creatures with disdain, its long, winding dragon body hovering over the Hidden Spring, appearing quite imposing.

Shemie held his head high. This was a sense of security! That robber dragon wouldn't surrender!

When the time comes, Shaymi will use the seed bomb on its butt to make it so fond of grabbing seeds!

Jirachi blinked and looked at the group of powerful big brothers in the sky.

It seems, should it, that this battle doesn't involve anything more than that? Just shouting "Come on!" and that's all?

He clearly vowed yesterday not to underestimate Jirachi.

As if sensing Jirachi's emotions, Xu Li smiled, then lifted Jirachi up high, looked at the tear marks under its eyes, and said, "We really need Jirachi's help!"

Jirachi didn't believe Xu Li's words at all, but he didn't want to ruin Xu Li's words to make him happy, so he raised his head and shouted, "Jila!"

"Jirachi will definitely help you!"

Xu Li smiled and said, "Of course."

As he spoke, Xu Li looked down at a dark and deep cave entrance beside the spring. He could clearly feel that a destructive energy was trying hard to hide its own breath to observe them - unfortunately, this destructive black energy was too conspicuous.

The foolish son who rebelled against Arceus, the bandit who descended from the sky and whom Shemi hated, and the underworld neighbor of the Gods of Time and Space—Giratina—were all inside that cave.

But Xu Li did not intend to go in. After all, there were only a few Roman columns buried in the earth wall inside. It was dark, cramped and gloomy, and he did not like it.

and so……

"Sky-Splitting Seat, Dragon Star Cluster!" Xu Li waved his hand.

Since Giratina is hiding in there and won't come out, he'll blow the hole apart!

Rayquaza roared loudly.

As the black meteorites fell at an extremely fast speed, the dust at the entrance of the Hidden Spring Cave below flew up, and large holes appeared one after another. Even the average height here was plummeting.

"Roar~!!!"

Xu Li crossed his arms and listened to the deafening roar coming from the cave, as well as the red light that filled the sky as the earth rolled.

Giratina has appeared.

It was not the normal state, but the origin form that was triggered after Wang Luo used the platinum orb that day.

The black and red body meandered backwards, and three pairs of wings, a total of six, spread out together. The face covered with golden armor suddenly became ferocious, exuding an invincible power.

Origin Giratina stared at Xu Li with its red pupils. It was not observing secretly in there!

But Xu Li waved his hand impatiently.

"Jirachi, help!"

Jirachi was stunned. It had never expected that Xu Li would be the first to give orders in this situation, but it quickly reacted. Its star-shaped wings, as thin as cicada wings, drove its star-shaped helmet to rotate, and five rays of starlight transformed from "help" overflowed into the divine beast above.

Xu Li smiled and decided to be the first to help.

Xu Li doesn't need to command the rest.

He only had to throw out two glittering orbs—the Diamond Orb and the White Jade Orb—and Dialga and Palkia would open their mouths and swallow them like dogs with frisbees, then change form in front of Origin Giratina.

This is not over yet.

Xu Li activated the key stone under his clothes, and colorful light emerged from it. In less than a moment, the ferocious-looking Super Rayquaza stared at Huang Jiong, and together with the Origin Dialga and Origin Palkia who transformed beside him, they smiled ferociously.

In this scene, before Giratina could feel the source of their power directly, she was afraid. Behind them, Yveltal, the God of Destruction, shrank his neck instead.

It had originally wanted to take advantage of Xu Li's weakness to resist, but now it had no such intention at all.

The tornado behind it was also like this, but it quickly reacted from this power, pulling the equally shocked land cloud and lightning cloud next to it, and its face was suddenly filled with pride. It was like watching the boss drive a BMW, as if it were an employee of Yan Rong.

“Ugh~!”

"I told you, following this boss is definitely the right thing to do!"

When faced with such words, Land Cloud and Thunder Cloud usually complained in their hearts, but this time they nodded unconsciously without any thought of rebuttal.

Almost in an instant, the sub-space split, time roared, and the dragon stars all submerged the Origin Giratina. Then, the three divine beasts transformed their forms and rushed straight towards the position of Giratina, where the smoke had not yet dissipated, without intending to leave it any room for maneuver.

Strong winds surged, delta air currents in the sky kept running wildly, and the faint fluctuations in space and the occasional shrinkage of time kept crisscrossing and surging in this area, mixed with the tenuous destructive energy of antimatter, like a group of demons dancing wildly, in extreme chaos.

Yveltal and Sanyun Shen on the side were unable to intervene and just stared blankly at the smoke area in the center like spectators. The energy that occasionally emanated from it made them feel a little chilling.

The situation at the scene was extremely chaotic, and Xu Li could not see clearly what was happening in the smoke, but what was certain was that from within it came Giratina's painful groans and the sound of fists hitting flesh. Giratina must have been in extreme pain.

Holding Jirachi in his arms, Xu Li kept saying "help", and Jirachi also kept waving his hands, helping the energy to turn into stars and flow into the smoke continuously.

Finally, with a flash of Xiemi's seed, the surrounding smoke instantly rushed towards its small green body like an atmospheric vacuum cleaner.

In a short while, the weather became clear and the air became fresh.

Giratina's body also lay dry on the ground, its whole body was in a terrible state, and it was completely unable to maintain its origin form.

The delta airflow in the sky, the surge of time and space, slowly dissipated. Palkia looked at the fist mark on Giratina's head with satisfaction and smiled triumphantly at Dialga.

"Guno!"

'You don't hit as hard as I do!'

Dialga curled his face. "I'm so sorry I was so gentle."

It ignored this guy and slowly walked backwards with its four hooves of origin, which were dark blue and looked like crushed ore. As it walked, it slowly returned to its normal form.

Palkia also curled his face, what a boring guy.

They also slowly left the place, ignoring Giratina who was lying on the ground, having already vented their anger on him.

Rayquaza had already gone far away, and the only one left at the scene was Shaymin, who was trying to squeeze in and out of Giratina's huge body.

Finally, it happily picked up a seed from under Giratina's wings, and when it left, it fired a seed bomb at Giratina's gray-white butt. Still not satisfied, it added another seed machine gun.

Da da da da da da! !

Shemi puffed out her white cheeks.

Let you steal my seeds, let you steal my most important seeds! I'm like you!

Unfortunately, Giratina, who was 'asleep', couldn't feel it at all. But if it could feel it, it would probably just feel a little itchy.

……

Xu Li did not use the capture device to subdue Giratina, and even felt a little sorry for it.

So I just healed Giratina and then coerced it.

"You must work hard from now on..." Xu Li patted Giratina's golden head as it drooped to the ground, and said softly, "I will inspect the results in two thousand years."

Hearing these words, Giratina's weak body suddenly regained a few drops of strength, supporting it as it turned its head away and closed its eyes, unwilling to face reality.

Xu Li smiled indifferently.

Shaymi was holding the Gracitia Flower nearby, and was furious at Giratina's attitude.

Sure enough, a robber is a robber!

Then the angry Xie Mi was picked up by Xu Li. He smiled and said, "Let's go."

“Meow! Meow~!!”

Shaymi yelled that he wanted to teach Giratina another lesson.

Xu Li just smiled and carried it away.

The afterglow of the setting sun gradually fell on the ground, casting a shadow of it waving its limbs and struggling in the air, and finally it was carried farther and farther away by Xu Li.

……

"So this is the Gracitia flower?"

At Wangdao Beach, on the beach facing the direction of Chuihuo Island, Xu Li was holding Jirachi and looking at the core seed of the Gracitia Flower that Xie Mi showed him like a treasure.

It looked just like a normal Gracitia flower, like the ones on either side of Shaymi's head, except it bloomed more subtly, like a shy little girl. It was also much dimmer, and a petal had fallen off when Shaymi moved. Giratina must have absorbed a lot of its energy.

"Jiumi..." Xie Mi looked at the fallen petals on the ground with heartache, and kept them preciously on his back.

Then, looking at the most important seed held in his short arms, Xie Mi's eyes sparkled and his whole body radiated a fighting spirit. With this, at least hope had not disappeared.

"mum!"

"Hmm... I need a good location this time. Do I want to grow the Gracitia flower more prosperously?" Xu Li pondered and said, "I have a good place."

"Meow?" Xie Mi tilted his head and looked at Xu Li expectantly.

Just when it expected Xu Li to tell it the location, Xu Li sighed instead: "Forget it."

Xie Mi: "Mee!!"

I’m so anxious, Xie Mi!

Where is it?!

Xu Li: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't know if you're willing to go there, and it's quite far away."

He was talking about the outlying islands. With the blessing of the miraculous giant tree, the growth gains of crops there must be among the best environments in the world.

Xie Mi was furious.

How do you know if I want to go if you don’t tell me?

“Mee!!”

Jirachi in his arms pursed his lips as he looked at Shemi's angry expression, then suddenly smiled.

so good!

It stared blankly at the sunset slowly setting over the distant sea. Today was the last day it could wake up. Sleepiness was already approaching Jirachi along with the setting sun.

Then it rubbed its head into Xu Li's arms.

“Jila~!”

"Xu Li, do you have any wishes? Is there anything you want?"

Xu Li was stunned for a moment, then said, "I don't want anything."

Jirachi quickly said, "Jila!"

"This isn't the usual wish that can only be fulfilled by super powers! What Jirachi gave Xu Li is different!"

It showed Xu Li a pattern of an eye on its snow-white and smooth belly, which was not under its control and was slightly open.

The Eye of Truth is the medium through which Jirachi and the Seven Star Meteorite resonate with each other, and it is also the thing that Jirachi's true nature can fulfill wishes. Xu Li certainly knew this.

But he smiled and shook his head: "No need."

After all, having used the Eye of Truth and released its energy, Jirachi would surely accelerate his slumber. Furthermore, there was a limit to how much this wish could be fulfilled. He thought of the scene in the story where Shui Wutong wished for Kyogre when Jirachi wished for him, but instead, a "sea monster" appeared out of thin air. While the result wasn't what he'd hoped for, it was still quite remarkable.

Thinking of this, Xu Li paused, looked at Jirachi's face, which was gradually puffed up because of the rejection just now, and said: "Does Jirachi have any wishes? Jirachi has been fulfilling other people's wishes. Have you ever thought about your own wishes?"

Jirachi was stunned. It had never thought about it before, but a wish quickly appeared in its head. However, it opened its mouth but couldn't say it.

It wanted to see Xu Li again.

But what's the point of saying it out loud? It just makes me more sad.

Jirachi stubbornly brought the wishing paper on his head to Xu Li. The starlight transformed into a pen and fell into Xu Li's hand: "Jila!"

'Jirachi doesn't need Xu Li's wish, Jirachi wants to fulfill Xu Li's wish! Write it quickly!'

"No hurry." Xu Li just smiled, hugged Jirachi and looked at the coast in front of him, feeling the sea breeze with the moist scent of soil, looking at the ultramarine ocean that sometimes surged and sometimes calm under the afterglow of the sunset, without saying a word.

Until the huge fireball hanging high in the sky completely disappeared, Jirachi could not hide the sleepiness on his face, but tried to open his eyes wide and watch the stars gradually twinkling in the sky.

Xu Licai wrote his brief wish on Jirachi's wishing note.

[I wish little Jirachi will always be happy and sleep well. We will meet again. ]

Jirachi puffed up his cheeks: "Jila!"
