"My current wish is to become your friend!"
Jirachi was taken aback upon hearing this, then a smile brighter than the stars bloomed on her face, and the blue-green wishing card hanging on Jirachi's head glowed slightly.
"Kira!" [Your wish has been fulfilled! Rukia, we're best friends now!]
Jirachi laughed and jumped into Fang Xiaolu's arms, and the latter also affectionately picked Jirachi up and used the "cheek rubbing" move.
Seeing this, Fang Gu couldn't help but take out his camera. Under the glow of the campfire, Fang Xiaolu and Jirachi, with their rosy cheeks, were captured together in the photo.
The campfire picnic was paused for a short while because of Jirachi's appearance, but with Jirachi's addition, the atmosphere of the picnic became even more lively.
Many Pokémon admire Jirachi's ability to grant wishes, but also feel a little embarrassed, since they've only just met.
Only the two seemingly clueless baby ducks, without any psychological burden, waddled towards Jirachi.
"quack."
The duckling stretched out its wings, seemingly introducing itself to Jirachi while also hoping that Jirachi would grant its wish.
"Kira!" [Let me fulfill the duckling's wish!]
Jirachi closed his eyes, and the wishing slip on his head once again burst forth with a dazzling blue-green light, much brighter than when Jirachi granted Lulu's wish.
The intense light caused everyone present to close their eyes tightly.
In the bright light, the bodies of the two ducklings began to undergo astonishing changes.
When the light faded, Fang Gu was surprised to find that the wings of the two ducklings seemed to have become larger than before.
"quack!"
The two ducklings' pupils were also full of surprise. Although they seemed a bit dazed, their sense of bodily awareness was still quite good.
They clearly felt their wings becoming wider and more powerful.
The baby duck gently flapped its wings, and a powerful airflow surged from beneath its blue and white feathers, then a scene that surprised everyone appeared.
The baby duck actually flapped its wings in place and flew into the air, looking quite skilled.
It's as if they were born to fly.
But that's impossible!
Fang Gu had already confirmed the purchase when he bought the two ducklings from Judy's Ranch.
Some wild ducklings do indeed develop their wings to the point where they can fly; wild ducklings have been seen flying over the Fanba Suspension Bridge in the Unova region.
"quack!"
Fang Gu could hear joy in the sounds of the baby ducks.
They can actually fly! It's incredible!!
"quack!"
"Ouou!"
The baby duck, capable of flight, earnestly invites its older brothers, the long-winged gulls, to an exceptionally fierce flying competition.
But now the long-winged gulls have no interest in flying with their companions; all they have is an eagerness to make a wish.
The six long-winged gulls seemed to have rehearsed beforehand, and gently knelt down in front of Jirachi, their wings prostrate on the ground.
It's like the underlings of a Japanese yakuza organization begging their boss for mercy.
"Ouou!"
The long-winged gull made a wish to Kirachi.
Great Kira, please grant me and my comrades an endless supply of fries!
Fang Gu turned to look at Jirachi. Jirachi, which was floating in mid-air, looked a little tired, but it still mustered its strength and burst out with light again.
fries!
The sudden appearance of fries was like an ocean that completely submerged the entire campfire camp.
"Ouou!"
The long-winged gull, Ada, was swept up in the wave of fries, looking both disheveled and excited.
Thank you! Jirachi!
The long-winged gulls picked up the French fries, and with a graceful arc in the air, the fries went straight into their mouths.
The long-winged gulls chewed on their fries, their expressions momentarily pausing. These fries weren't as delicious as Fang Gu's, but they had more of them.
If quality isn't good enough, then quantity will win!
The long-winged gull looked at the French fries still falling from the sky, and a smile returned to its face.
What else is there to say? It's practically delivered to my lips.
Began to eat!
Fang Gu's first encounter with bird-like Pokémon wasn't in flight, but rather swimming in a sea of fries.
Upon witnessing the miracle of the ocean of fries, the surrounding Pokémon instantly erupted in excitement, scrambling to squeeze towards Jirachi.
They all want to use Jirachi's power to fulfill their wishes.
However, some Pokémon have quietly left the Pokémon community, such as Everflower from Azshara, Riolu, Bulbasaur, and Magikarp.
Riolu believes that the coolest Riolu is one that surpasses its ancestors through its own strength and effort, and that wishes should be fulfilled by itself.
Magikarp was the same. When it saw the many Pokémon rushing towards Jirachi, it simply jumped back into Magikarp Lake, watched the lively Pokémon, and gurgled out bubbles.
If one's ideals could be easily realized simply by making a wish to someone, what kind of ideals would they be?
What did all its previous efforts amount to then?
As for Bulbasaur, it's simply jealous of Jirachi and doesn't want to talk to it.
Fang Gu watched this scene helplessly; sometimes, it's not good when wishes are too easily fulfilled.
"Ji Lachi, what's wrong with you!"
Fang Xiaolu let out a worried scream from the pile of elves.
Chapter 185 Goodnight, Kirachi
Hearing Fang Xiaolu's exclamation, Fang Gu quickly pulled the elves apart and came to stand in front of him.
Jirachi looked weak, and Fang Xiaolu held it, almost crying with worry.
"What happened?" Fang Gu asked, frowning.
"It's like we're standing around Jirachi, saying our wishes, and then Jirachi's light shines for half its duration before dimming again."
Fang Xiaolu organized her thoughts and then pointed to a mark on Kirachi's abdomen.
"Could it be because of this wound?"
Fang Gu shook his head. To be precise, the seam in the center of Jirachi's abdomen is actually Jirachi's third eye, also known as the Eye of Truth.
This Eye of Truth can absorb the energy of the stars in the sky and convert it into Jirachi's own energy.
It is also Jirachi's superpower organ; it is estimated that Jirachi used this eye when he was watching Fang Gu from the sky.
Fang Gu scanned the surrounding Pokémon, and every Pokémon's face was filled with anxiety.
They also care about Kirachi.
Anyway, I'll take Jirch to Dr. Harry's clinic first.
As soon as Fang Gu picked up Jirachi from Fang Xiaolu's hands, Jirachi's body twitched slightly.
Jirachi slowly opened his eyes, looking like he was struggling.
"Kira!" [It's okay, Fang Gu, I'm just feeling a little sleepy.]
"Kira..." [Everyone's wishes will only be fulfilled tomorrow...]
Jirachi spoke apologetically to the group of Pokémon.
Before he could finish speaking, Jirachi fell asleep, his little mouth opening and closing with each breath, looking very peaceful.
The Pokémon remained silent, perhaps because their chatter had caused Jirachi to deplete too much of its prayer power.
"Anyway, it's getting late, everyone should go and get some rest." Fang Gu waved his arm gently.
The Milk Tanks returned to the Elf House, the Lamb returned to the pasture, and the Queen Bee led her swarm back to the hive. The Geodude watched as the two Zubats flew towards the Bat Cave, and angrily bit a stone by the roadside.
Those two bastards! They live together, why didn't they wait for me?!
Under the bright moonlight, in Lake Magikarp, Magikarp with its red scales and Feebas watched the group leave.
Fang Xiaolu held the grass-green Pokémon egg, Meowth perched on her head, and Bulbasaur and Riolu followed behind Fang Gu.
Fang Gu gently held Jirachi in his arms. The latter's little hands were tightly gripping Fang Gu's fingers. In the soft murmur, you could hear Jirachi calling Fang Gu's name in a low voice. It looked like it was having a nightmare. Its little brows were furrowed and there were even tears welling up in the corners of its eyes.
Despite it being their first meeting, Jirachi is already so dependent on him.
"She's just like a child, she falls asleep as soon as she gets tired of playing."
Fang Gu gently patted Jirachi's back, remembering the lullaby his grandfather used to sing to him when he was still alive.
"Quietly gazing at that sleeping little face~"
There seemed to be a slight wrinkle between her brows.
……
Before they knew it, Fang Xiaolu started humming along with Fang Gu. The siblings looked at each other with deep affection.
Fang Xiaolu remembered everything.
When she was little, Fang Gu would gently pat her back to lull her to sleep when she couldn't sleep.
Humming a familiar tune, Fang Gu looked at Jirachi in his arms.
Jirachi nestled in Fang Gu's arms, the panic on his face gone, his lips slightly upturned, as if he were having a sweet dream.
Fang Gu smiled as starlight streamed down through the gaps in the branches of the trees, making them appear as if they were strolling on a galaxy.
When Fang Gu returned to the cabin, it was already around midnight, and it was time to rest.
