Rayman Legends Adventures in Pokémon Movie 6: Jirachi - Wish Maker/Script

Ranjan was fast asleep in his bed with Snow White. While he was sleeping, the rest of the jungle family was awake and they were getting ready for a surprise birthday festival to awaken Ranjan with.
"This is going to be so emotional," Shanti grinned.
"Mowgli, run to the cake store and get the early bird special for this," Messua handed a paper to her younger son.
Mowgli took it and put it in his pocket.
"Shanti, help me decorate the living room, the family should be on the road now," Messua gave a box of supplies to her daughter.
"You have it," Shanti said.
Then Mowgli took some stretches and went out the door. "Must go FAST," he sang to himself before he sped over to the local bakery.
"You taught him Sonic's song, didn't you," Messua smirked at Raja.
"I thought it would be a nice little theme song for him," Raja chuckled as he was going to take the day off from his work today where he could spend it with Ranjan.
"I yet can't over that story about how you helped Tails find his parents, Dad," Shanti grinned as she used her magic on the decorations and decorated the house.
"Yes...so heartwarming, sweet, and so mournful all at once..." Raja agreed as he helped her in some parts she needed help with.
"I love these stories if you bring the families back together..." Shanti grinned, "like since Patch and Colette helped that puppy Tiny reunite with his family with these six bunnies who raised him like a seventh brother."
"I know, right," Raja grinned.
Shanti grinned back as they decorated. "Oh, Mum, what if Ranjan awakens while we're setting up?"
"Oh, don't worry about that," Raja said, "your Rae Lindley taught a dream spell to your father, where Ranjan won't awaken until he's supposed to."
"Nice," Shanti grinned.
Teddy came out of his Pokeball and climbed onto her back. Shanti chuckled as she let her Pokemon help out with the decorations.
At the bakery.....
Mowgli rapidly tapped his foot as he waited for the baker to come with the specific cake that Ranjan would like since it was his birthday.
"Here you go," the baker said before he gave the cake to Mowgli.
"Thanks," Mowgli grinned.
"Now stop that before you break my floor, boy," the then looked down.
Mowgli grinned hesitantly and then zipped away with the cake to get back home.
"That boy can impatient," the baker sighed.
"Keep the change," Mowgli called after tossing the money as he was on his road back home with the cake.
The Greenwood family was coming with Jenny as she was the guest of honor for obvious reasons. She wore her red dress with her hair worn down for the festival.
"I do wonder if Queen Uberta will be there," Aurora said.
"Hopefully..." Leah shrugged as she didn't know herself.
"I hope she does so....." Aurora grinned, "she's so sweet...especially until she helped Sofia become a true princess."
"I think she'll be at the festival along with your King William and your cousins," Stefan said as he saw a familiar horse-drawn carriage going to the same place as them.
Aurora grinned to her father and hugged him.
"How you feeling, Uberta," Wililam asked his wife as he gently stroked her stomach.
"I'll be fine..." Uberta grinned back to her husband.
"I do wonder if it'll be a boy or a girl," Odette grinned.
Derek stared out the window.
"I'll be happy either fashion..." Odette said, "what do you think, Derek?"
Derek didn't respond.
"DEREK," Odette called to her brother.
Derek looked over, seeming slightly snobby now. "It's 'brave' now...Prince Derek."
"What's with the behavior change," Odette asked.
"I'm growing up," Derek replied, "if we get into Auradon Prep, I'm gonna be the coolest boy on campus."
"Well, I'm going to stick with Odette," Odette said.
"Of course you will...." Derek whispered.
Uberta and William sighed to their children as they were on their road to the Greenwood household.
Patch was looking at his old photo album from his Cats & Dogs adventure against Kitty Galore and others until he looked to see a portal through his window and there were presents that came from the Mane Six and Spike. Then he grinned as he collected them to give to the family for Ranjan.
"Wait for us," Pinkie Pie's voice called out from the portal.
Patch's eyes widened as the Mane Six came out of the portal in their human forms and they were now, of course, much older now.
"Hah! I knew we'd make it," Rainbow Dash grinned in victory.
"It sure has been a long time since we've been in the human world," Rarity moaned as she stretched.
"Hey, guys," Patch grinned.
"Hi, Patch, oh, you've grown so much...." Spike grinned.
"Look who's speaking," Patch chuckled at the former baby dragon.
"What's this," Twilight noticed the book.
"Oh, that's from the old days," Patch sighed. "I was with some dog agents against a very bad cat named Kitty Galore a long time ago. I was gonna warn the story to the puppies later on."
"Aw! You have puppies," Fluttershy grinned.
"Yes," Patch grinned back, "had four of 'em, but Mowgli and Shanti adopted and raise Scruffy and Dot."
"Aw," Fluttershy grinned.
"Well, where's the festival," Pinkie Pie asked.
Patch chuckled. "Come with me."
Then the Mane Six followed after the others for Ranjan's surprise birthday festival. Twilight put her hand on her belly as she followed inside.
"Well, where's the baby going to come," Patch asked Twilight.
"Three more months," Twilight said.
"Ugh, I can't wait anymore......" Patch pouted.
Twilight chuckled. "I know what you mean."
"Flash is the same fashion, he's already picking out sport related stuff," Rainbow Dash said.
"And I've found the best books," Twilight grinned.
"Oh, Twilight," Patch sighed and shook his head with a laugh.
"Alright, I think we're almost set..." Messua said, "what breaks the dream spell?"
"True love's kiss~" Rae rolled her eyes while fluttering them and puckering her lips to sound melodramatic.
"I'll do it," Jenny grinned.
Rae hid a small smirk to that.
"I mean, uh, if no one else minds..." Jenny said softly and shyly.
"Not at all, darling," Messua said.
Jenny chuckled shyly, but she went upstairs to Ranjan's bedroom.
Ranjan was fast asleep as Vulpix came out of his Pokeball and was trying to awaken his 'father', but had no success.
"Let me try," Jenny said once she entered Ranjan's bedroom.
"Mama," Vulpix grinned.
Jenny grinned back and came over to kiss Ranjan awake, like a gender reverse of Snow White and Prince Ferdinand. And where the kiss seemed to do the trick.
Then Ranjan awakened with a grin up to Jenny. "Oh, it's an angel...."
Jenny chuckled.
Ranjan closed his eyes again until they widened as he sat up in surprise.
"Happy Birthday," Jenny warned him.
"What time is this," Ranjan asked.
"Time to get up...." Jenny said.
Ranjan pulled back his covers to see he was somehow already dressed and then shrugged. "Well, I guess I should get down to my festival then."
"Yes, c'mon," Jenny agreed.
"This is so emotional," Vulpix grinned.
"I love that dress, Jenny..." Ranjan grinned to the girl he liked, "you should wear it more often."
"I'm sorry, I only wear this dress for special occasions," Jenny said.
"Aw..." Ranjan pouted.
"Perhaps someday if I have a school dance..." Jenny suggested with a grin, "you could be my date and I'll wear it then."
"I'd like that..." Ranjan blushed.
"And then you can wear this..." Jenny wrapped his green ascot around his neck.
"I'd really like that," Ranjan blushed even more.
"Believe me, then would I," Jenny blushed back.
Soon they saw Vulpix smirking at them both. Jenny and Ranjan looked wide-eyed to him.
Vulpix snickered. "Oh, don't mind me..." he teased the two he thought of as his parents.
"Um, let's get to the festival," Ranjan said.
Vulpix snickered and scampered away to the family room.
Ranjan walked ahead of Jenny and he gasped upon seeing this.
"SURPRISE," everybody cheered to Ranjan, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!"
"About time you awakened, Sleepy Head," Pinkie Pie chuckled.
Ranjan grinned to see his 'aunts' from Equestria and hugged them all. Rarity hugged Ranjan the tightest and planted the most kisses on his face.
"Aunt Rarity...." Ranjan whispered in embarrassment.
"OK, that's it, I won't embarrass you in front your girlfriend, darling," Rarity smirked playfully.
Jenny chuckled. Then Ranjan wiped his face with a small grin.
"Here, darling, you know your Aunt Darla's gifts always come first..." Messua grinned, "she's very sorry she can't be here."
"It's alright, Mum..." Ranjan grinned as he opened the present to see it was from Christian Dior since he was a boy and Christina Dior was for girls like Eloise. Then he took out a dark blue beret and wore it. "Ah, this'll be nice for the next time we visit Paris."
"Yes, yes," Jenny nodded in agreement.
Jenny and Ranjan stood next to each other and did poses with laughs.
"Click, click, click," Ranjan mimicked the sounds of a camera taking their picture.
"C'mon, open my present next," Pinkie Pie grinned.
Ranjan grinned back and opened her present.
"Ahem," Raja and Messua coughed.
"Oh, uh, thanks, Aunt Pinkie," Tim said.
"You're welcome," Pinkie Pie grinned.
Then Ranjan opened up the present to see what the festive fun loving pony got for him. And which was his own festival cannon. "AWESOME!!"
"Go ahead, try it out," Pinkie beamed.
"Not in the---" Esme panicked before Ranjan pulled the cord, which exploded confetti all over her. "House..." she coughed up confetti, "Typical Pinkie Pie."
"Thanks, Aunt Pinkie," Ranjan grinned.
"You're welcome," Pinkie grinned back.
Rarity gave Ranjan a new satchel she called a man's shoulder bag, Rainbow Dash gave him a sports jersey, Fluttershy gave him an adult coloring book with animal pictures inside, and Twilight gave him a book on Equestrian History if he was interested. Spike had a box of cookies, but there were only four left, where he shared with his siblings and Jenny. There also seemed to be some cookie crumbs on Spike's mouth.
"Well, uh, Spike, what just happened to the rest of the cookies," Hoggett smirked.
"They sorta got lost.....in my mouth..." Spike grinned hesitantly.
"Uh-huh, sure..." Raja smirked himself.
Spike chuckled nervously. Then Uberta and her family gave their presents next.
"Thank you all so much," Ranjan grinned as he opened their presents next.
From William, his present for Ranjan was an art supply. Uberta gave an old suit, which once belonged to her father like if she wore her mother's dress to the ball since she first danced with her prince. Penny gave Ranjan a flower necklace that would never die and 'Chad' gave a soccer ball.
"I'm next," Shanti said.
"Shanti," Ranjan grinned.
"For you, big brother," Shanti gave her present as she stood with Teddy.
Ranjan grinned as he opened the present. "Thanks, Sis," he saw that it was a pair of green shoes. "Oh...new shoes..." he grinned, but he slipped off his old red sneakers and put his new green shoes on, "ah, much better."
Mowgli grinned as he gave his present to Ranjan next. Soon Ranjan went to open his brother's gift next. Mowgli grinned hopefully.
Ranjan took out a framed picture of himself with Mowgli. "Oh, 'Mowg!"
Mowgli grinned shyly and shuffled his foot. "You're my best friend, Ranjan."
"Aww..." the others awed.
"I thought Shanti was your best friend," Ranjan smirked playfully.
"You're both my best friends," Mowgli said.
Shanti and Ranjan laughed and the three Greenwood siblings shared a group hug together.
After a short while, it was time for the Hoggett's presents, Jenny's present, and Raja and Messua's presents. Ranjan grinned hesitantly polite for the Hoggett family as he opened their presents. Arthur gave a book on fine arts, Anya gave an ice corsage which Derek and Odette's daughter made for her to give to him, and Simon's gift appeared to be a dead bird.
"Uh, thank you all..." Ranjan grinned hesitantly.
Esme gave her present with a small smirk and backed up.
"Oh, gee--" Ranjan said at first before opening it all the road to see art supplies of all kind in one package, "WOW!!"
Arthur playfully pouted.
"Alright, darling...our turn..." Messua grinned as she gave her present with Raja.
"Hope ya like them, sport," Raja also grinned.
"I wish I will," Ranjan said. Then he opened Messua's present first. "Ladies first, right, Dad?"
Raja chuckled. "Right."
"I picked it out for you," Messua grinned at Ranjan.
Ranjan grinned back as he opened up his mother's present to see what it was. 'I do wonder what Mum found me,' he thought to himself.
As he opened it up, he saw a new shirt that had a globe on it. "A new shirt?"
"Not just any shirt, a Planeteer shirt," Messua grinned, "it was Uncle Planet's idea."
"Awesome," Ranjan grinned.
"Of course, I had to get one in green," Messua grinned back.
"Green makes the scene," Ranjan gave a thumb's up.
"My present next," Raja said.
Ranjan looked very emotional about his dad's present.
"Happy Birthday, son," Raja grinned as he gave the present to his oldest child.
Soon Ranjan started to open up his father's present.
Raja grinned shyly. "I hope it's not too nerdy."
Oliver and Snow White looked up to Ranjan as he opened up the present.
Ranjan took out an astronomy book. "Huh...that's different..." he grinned halfway. Next to the book was a silver-like fashion. He flipped through the book with a small grin and saw something about something called 'Millennium Comet'.
"Well, do you like it," Raja asked.
"I love it, Dad, thanks..." Ranjan grinned, but glanced to the rock curiously.
"I found that on a comet while I was doing a little secret flying," Raja said.
"It's not Kryptonite, is that it," Ranjan winced.
"No luck," Raja replied, "consider that part two of my gift."
"Cool," Ranjan grinned.
Later on, after cake...
Ranjan and Jenny sat on the couch together as they looked through the book with Vulpix at their feet with Snow White and Oliver.
"This is so cool," Vulpix grinned.
"Well, what's the Millennium Comet," Jenny asked Ranjan.
"According to this, it appears in the night heavens for seven days a week once every thousand years," Ranjan replied.
"Which day," Snow White asked.
"Huh..." Ranjan hummed as he took a look at the schedule to see until the next one would be, "the day after tomorrow."
"We have to check it out......" Jenny grinned eagerly, "I'm visiting for two weeks, Mum and Dad promised for your birthday."
"But looks like we might need to get to the Pokemon world," Ranjan said. "Pokemon..." he grinned as had an idea.
Mowgli was on the phone with Emi. "Well, who's with you and Ash this time," he asked.
"Our friends May and Max," Emi replied, "oh, yes, and Brock should be there as well."
"Well, it happens to be Ranjan's birthday..." Mowgli played with the cord, "you wouldn't mind if we tagged along, right?"
"Of course we wouldn't mind," Emi said.
"Plus I'd love to see the comet with you..." Mowgli blushed, "it sounds...romantic."
"It sure does so," Emi grinned.
Mowgli chuckled hesitantly, but saw Ranjan and Jenny, but put the phone down. "What," he whispered louder to them.
"Is that Emi," Ranjan asked.
"Yes..." Mowgli narrowed his eyes, thinking perhaps Ranjan just wanted to tease him for speaking with Emi.
"Sure, can you let her warn us where she and Ash are," Ranjan asked.
Mowgli blinked, but got back on the phone. "Hey, Emi, where are you guys," he asked the girl of his dreams.
"I kind of forgot, I'll ask," Emi said before looking towards Ash, "Ash, where are we again?"
"Brock says we're going to a festival on his map," Ash replied.
"Ohh yes, thanks for the reminder, Ash," Emi said before going back on the phone, "we're going to a festival."
"Ranjan says there's a comet that appears once every thousand years for a week," Mowgli replied.
"That's why we're going," Emi grinned, "we wanna check it out for ourselves."
"Awesome," Mowgli also grinned.
"You should hurry up to the region," Emi grinned back.
"I wish we'll be able to make it," Mowgli replied, "I hope you don't mind if our friend Jenny comes as well, she is Ranjan's girlfriend after all."
"We won't mind at all," Emi grinned.
"Especially you," Ash teased.
Emi stuck her tongue out to him. Then Ash copied her with an eye roll.
"You two act just like little children," a little boy said.
"Ash never really learned how to grow up," Emi smirked mockingly.
"Well, this Mowgli fellow....." the boy spoke up, "who is he exactly?"
"Old friend of ours, his dad's a detective," Ash grinned.
"Awesome," the boy grinned.
"A detective, right," the girl with brown hair asked, "is he single?"
Emi narrowed her eyes. "I'm sorry, May, but I've had dibs on him."
Then the girl pouted before grinning again. "Does he have a brother?"
"Yes, but he's also taken," Emi smirked.
"Dang it," May sighed.
"I know how ya feel, May..." Brock spoke up, "same fact happens to me with girls..."
"Oh, boy, here he goes again....." Ash sighed.
Back at the Greenwood household...
The Greenwood siblings and Odette were training their Pokemon since it seemed like they would have another Pokemon adventure very soon. Jenny was also there where she could have a turn with Vulpix.
"It's so grand to have you here, Mama," Vulpix grinned.
"It's grand to be here," Jenny grinned back in agreement.
"Well, these are the Pokemon I hear so much about in your letters..." Penny observed, "I wish I had one, Grandfather keeps trying to get the Grand Duke to find one for me, but he can't seem to find one."
"Would you like to come with us to see our friends," Ranjan invited, "perhaps you'll find one there."
"I'll ask my parents," Penny grinned at the invitation.
"You don't have to, darling," Uberta grinned as she and her husband had heard about their nieces' and nephews' adventures in the Pokemon world.
"Well, I can go," Penny beamed.
"We don't see why not," William grinned in agreement.
"Yes," Penny cheered.
The royal couple grinned to their daughter.
Then the children took Penny for her to meet their Pokemon to get to know about the creatures better and they warned her all about the times they had together. Such as on the beach where they first met Ash and Emi Ketchum and the others, also about the time if they met a girl named Molly who had the spell of the Unknown and had dream-like fashions, which gave her an Entei as a father figure, and not to mention the time they met the spirit of the forest known as Celebi and they had met a very young Professor Oak. As well as since they met Mew-Two since they trusted her.
"Mew-Two, right," Penny asked, "sounds like a kitty name."
"Trust me, Mew-Two is not a kitty," Ranjan said, "it even took offense of until I called it a 'Kitty'."
The others chuckled in memory of that.
"Reminds me of how we first met," Jenny said to Oliver.
"I'll say," Oliver agreed since that was before he even had a name, where Jenny just called him 'Kitty' before she could adopt him as her pet.
"I can't wait to see the Pokémon and be able to catch one of my own," Penny grinned.
"Hopefully you do so, it's a wonderful feeling," Jenny agreed.
"Even Eloise has a Ditto," Mowgli nodded in memory.
"Cool," Penny grinned, "well, where do we leave?"
"Dad says we'll leave tomorrow, the festival was a lot of work," Ranjan said.
"Then please do sleepover," Shanti replied.
"I will," Penny promised with a nod.
Later on, it was time for cake. Ranjan licked his lips, but shut his eyes as he blew out the nine birthday candles. After the candles were blown out, they could now have cake. Everyone clapped and then Raja cut the cake for everyone.
"My favorite..." Ranjan muffled with his mouth complete and grinned.
Later on, it was around time for bed. Penny was already ready to get some sleep where she would have enough energy for tomorrow.
"C'mon, Penny get to sleep....." Messua chuckled.
"I'm sorry, Messua, I'm just emotional," Penny grinned apologetically.
"The sooner you go to sleep, the sooner morning will come," Raja grinned.
"Alright, Raja...I'll try..." Penny grinned back, "good night, you two."
"Good night, Penny," Raja and Messua grinned, gently patting her on the head and left the room for her to get some sleep.
Then Penny yawned and turned over to fall asleep, dreaming of Pokemon as she was emotional to get one of her own some day.
In the morning, in New York City.....
"Eloise, your new tutor is here," Nanny called.
Eloise came in the room with Ditto on her head and she grinned to see Tech.
Then Nanny decided to take Weenie out for a walk while they would have the tutoring session.
"What's new, Tech," Eloise grinned.
"How would you like to go to a festival this week," Tech grinned back.
"Sounds emotional," Eloise grinned, "any reason why?"
"Well, this is what your lesson is about today, no math today," Tech promised.
"Lovely," Eloise approved of that.
Tech sat on the couch and Eloise sat right behind him as he took out a book about the Millennium Comet that everybody else was going to see and he invited her to come as well where she wouldn't miss anything. "Well, what do ya think, Ellie," he asked with a grin, "ya wanna go on a week-long field trip?"
"Yes, please," Eloise grinned.
Tech chuckled. "I knew you'd agree."
"You wanna come as well, Ditto," Eloise grinned up to her Pokemon.
"Yes, please," Ditto grinned back.
"A field trip sounds like a marvelous idea, Tech," Eloise grinned to the coyote who tutored her now instead of Phillip.
"Sounds grand, we'll get going if the time is right," Tech said, "now, I know you hate it, but did you do your math homework?"
Eloise sighed. "Yes..." she went to her desk to give it to him.
"She really did so," Ditto said.
Then Eloise came back with her homework, she didn't mind Tech's tutoring as much as Phillip's, but she yet hated math. And where she had gotten better in her homework.
"Nicely done, Eloise, you've improved since I first tutored you..." Tech grinned.
"Well, you're not mean or boring," Eloise had to admit.
"That's true," Tech nodded.
Eloise grinned and hugged him and he happily hugged her back. Then the telephone rang.
Eloise excused herself and responded it. "Hello, it's me, Eloise," she greeted, but grinned brightly, "Raja!"
"I bet he's calling you for the same fact," Tech said.
Eloise grinned and held onto the phone. "Good evening, Raja~" she greeted in her French accent.
"Hello, Eloise, is your nanny there," Raja replied.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Raja, she just stepped out...." Eloise said, "I can take a message for you though."
"Well, can you ask her if it's alright for you to come with your cousins to the Pokemon world for a festival and to see a comet," Raja replied.
Then Eloise nodded silently to Tech to confirm that was what her uncle was asking about. "I wish she'll agree," she grinned, "especially since I can travel through portals now instead of taking an airplane or a train."
"Thanks, and warn Tech that he can come if he wants," Raja said.
"Of course, Raja..." Eloise grinned, "mother says hi from Manhattan by the way."
"Warn her I say hi back," Raja replied.
"I will," Eloise grinned.
"Thank you, Eloise," Raja grinned himself, "I hope you don't mind, but we'll have some guests along for the trip."
"I don't mind at all," Eloise beamed, "just seeing you all makes my day worthwhile!"
"I hope so," Raja said.
Eloise grinned.
"Alright, you have a nice day now, see you soon," Raja said.
"See you soon, Raja," Eloise grinned and then gently hung up.
"Sounds like we'll have company," Tech said.
"Sounds like it..." Eloise agreed.
"What have we done now," Ditto asked.
"Come here, Eloise, I'll warn you all about the comet," Tech decided that the comet should be his subject for her lessons today.
Eloise sat down next to him and followed along with him in the book instead of mocking him like she would do with Phillip.
The day after tomorrow...
Mowgli, Shanti, Ranjan, Jenny, Odette and Penny looked like they were ready to go, they just had to wait for Eloise. Soon Eloise arrived with Tech and Ditto through a portal.
"I'm sorry I'm late, guys, but I had to say a farewell of course," Eloise grinned as she held Ditto in her hands.
"Eloise, it's so grand to see you again," Penny grinned.
"Oh, Penny, it's been too, too, too long," Eloise grinned back.
Then the two shared a hug and kissed each other on the cheeks the way the French greeted each other, especially women.
"Looks like you children are ready to go," Messua grinned to the group.
"We sure are," the children said.
Then Messua handed a giant picnic basket for Mowgli to carry since he was the strongest. "Here's some candy for you all and your friends."
"Some? It looks like you packed us a buffet," Tech said.
"Well, I wanted there to be enough for everybody," Messua grinned.
"Oh, please warn me there's snicker-doodles in there..." Shanti begged.
"Of course there are," Messua said.
"Yes," the Greenwood siblings cheered.
"Thank you, Aunt Messua," Odette thanked.
"You are most welcome....." Messua hugged the children, "you children have fun, we'll catch up with you later, stay out of damage. You have your Pokemon stuff?"
"Yes, in our bags," Jenny nodded.
Soon Mowgli gave Penny an empty Pokeball.
"Oh, thank you, Mowgli," Penny accepted it, "this doesn't hurt the Pokemon, right?"
"No, it's best for them," Mowgli reassured, "you just throw it and hopefully they stay put and you have yourself your very own Pokemon to train and raise as your own."
"Yes," Penny cheered.
Messua hugged them all and sent them away to visit their Pokemon friends. Tech took charge since he was an adult and responsible for all of them.
"Let's get the portal up," Mowgli said.
"Allow me, guys," Tech said as he pushed a button on his wristwatch.
Then the portal opened up for them.
"Ladies first," Tech grinned to the children.
"You can go first, Penny," Shanti said.
Penny nodded and she went in first. After she went in, the girls followed after and the boys joined them, but Tech went right after them and the portal closed up with them.
Emi began to pace around. Pikachu was past her side since she was in slight distress.
"You think they're yet coming," Emi asked the yellow mouse Pokemon.
"I wish they are, Emi..." Pikachu soothed.
Soon a portal opened up. Then Emi and Pikachu held each other and luckily, the group came out with Tech through the portal. Mowgli grinned and set the basket down and he was suddenly held by Emi.
"Oh, you came..." Emi grinned in the hug.
"Of course we came," Mowgli grinned.
Then Emi held his hands and their eyes met.
"Well, that's Emi," Odette asked.
"Oh, yes, that's Emi," Shanti nodded.
"Oh, then this is the famous Mowgli me and Max have heard so much about," May's voice said.
Mowgli looked over sheepishly. May and Max grinned. Mowgli came to the two and decided to introduce himself.
"Hello, my name is Mowgli and you two must be May and Max," Mowgli said.
"That's us," Max shook hands with Mowgli.
"Do you have any cute, single friends," May asked Mowgli with googly eyes.
"What about Drew," Max smirked at May.
May blinked. "What about Drew?"
Mowgli looked curious, but then smirked himself. "Yes, do warn, new friend."
"Oh, just a certain guy she has a crush on," Max smirked.
"Hey," May frowned.
The others chuckled. Eloise and Odette came over to also meet May and Max.
"Aw! And who are you two," May grinned.
"I'm Odette," the yellow-haired girl curtsied.
"And I'm me, Eloise," the blonde girl held out her hand in a sophisticated fashion like since her mother or nanny would meet new people, especially men.
"It's nice to meet you both," May grinned.
Max came over to Odette. "Wow...you're really pretty.....like a princess...."
"Funny you should mention that, I am a princess....." Penny grinned, "I'm the daughter of Uberta."
"Wow, a real princess," May grinned before giving a slight curtsy.
Max even bowed and grinned softly to Penny.
Penny grinned back. "Oh, you don't have to bow for me..."
"But you're a princess," May said.
"I exist on being treated like everybody else," Penny said.
Then the children took out their Pokeballs and released their Pokemon.
"Ooh, could I bring Vulpix out this time, Ranjan," Jenny asked, "you do it so many times already."
"Sure, go ahead," Ranjan handed her the Pokeball.
"Thank you," Jenny grinned.
Ranjan grinned back.
"Go, Vulpix," Jenny called before throwing the Pokeball.
Then the ball glowed and the Fire Fox Pokemon jumped out. Then he landed on the ground and grinned to see that Jenny had let him out. "Aw, sweet, Mama let me out this time," he cheered.
"Don't we have a festival to get to," Tech asked.
"Yes, festival time," Vulpix danced around while Larvitar rolled his eyes slightly.
"C'mon, guys, let's skitter along to that festival," Eloise said as Ditto skated around her body.
"Skitter," Max asked.
"Come along, that's just how she says move along," Odette explained.
"Wow, Odette, nice English," Mowgli grinned.
"Thanks..." Odette grinned back, "your sayings are very confusing though."
"I know," Mowgli said.
"I'm sorry we missed your birthday, Ranjan," Ash said as they walked along with Brock leading them to make it to the festival for the comet.
"It's alright, Ash," Ranjan said.
Then Ash handed an envelope.
Ranjan thanked him as he accepted the envelope and then opened it to see a homemade birthday card made not only by Ash and Emi, but Pikachu even helped. "Oh, how thoughtful!"
"It was the least we could do for you," Ash said.
Ranjan grinned, but they were walking to make it to the festival.
"Man, it's getting dark fast....." Odette said as she had no damage seeing in the dark since she was a vampire after all.
"Race you to the festival," Mowgli smirked at the others.
"Oh, you're on," Ash laughed.
"No fair, Mowgli," Shanti laughed herself as they ran with him.
Mowgli and Ash raced to the top and where they seemed to be equally matched.
"Whoever's last is a Slowpoke," Ash laughed.
"Max, you're a 'Slowbro'," May laughed as she ran with them.
"Very funny, Sis," Max huffed.
Penny began to run alongside Max.
"I don't wanna be the slowpoke," Brock whined.
The children laughed as they all ran in the darkness together to make it to the festival.
"We can do it, Ash," Pikachu cheered as he was on the boy's shoulder as always.
"No way, Pikachu! Me and Dad are gonna win," Larvitar told him as he was carried by Mowgli.
"Woah," Mowgli stopped suddenly as they came to the edge of a cliff face.
At last, the others caught up and then saw what he saw as they were on the edge now, not expecting that. They could only see the mountainous landscape on the other side and there was no carnival in sight.
"I might not get out of the castle much, but I know this isn't a festival," Penny commented.
"Are you sure this is it," May asked Brock.
"This is the spot...." Brock said as he looked into his book, "where is everyone?"
"Perhaps we're just early," Shanti said.
"Ugh, boy, I'm starving," Ash suddenly moaned, putting his hand to his aching belly from hunger.
"Me as well," Max agreed.
"C'mon, let's set up a fire and have some of Mum's picnic," Mowgli suggested.
"Yes," Tech nodded in agreement.
Mowgli opened up the picnic basket and Tech decided to make the fire.
After a while, they were all now eating. The food was very grand.
"Wow, guys, your mum's an awesome cook," Max grinned to the Greenwood siblings.
"Thanks, she's always been a grand cook," Mowgli grinned.
"Especially since it comes to baked treats," Shanti agreed as she took one of Messua's infamous snicker-doodles.
Teddy began to try to reach for one of the snicker-doodles. Shanti saw this and decided to give her Teddiursa a small bite to see if it was safe for him to eat. Soon Teddy ate the small bite and where it seemed to be alright.
"Nice, right," Shanti grinned.
"Uh-huh," Teddy grinned back and nodded.
Vulpix even started to eat one of the snicker-doodles. Shanti lay out more snicker-doodles for all of the Pokemon. Ditto enjoyed them the most and tried to get more.
"Ah, ah, ah," Eloise scolded her Pokemon, "you know what Nanny says about sweets, 'you mustn't get greedy, greedy, greedy'."
"Oh, fine," Ditto moaned.
Eloise petted her Ditto and kept eating.
Jenny sighed as she looked out. "Now what have we done?"
"It's pretty late, I guess we could get some sleep until the carnival," Ranjan suggested with a shrug.
"I guess," Penny sighed.
"Set up camp, guys," Tech said as he took out his inventions to make a campsite for them to go with the fireplace.
"Wow, Tech, you're amazing for a coyote," Ash had to admit.
"Thanks, I'm from the future," Tech said.
"Future, huh," May asked.
"Yes, I'm from the year 2772," Tech replied.
"2772," May and Max asked out of surprise.
"But then how are you here," Brock asked.
"I visited after a portal device I've made," Tech explained, "until Mowgli and Shanti stayed in Acmetropolis and were about to go back home after they weren't needed anymore after the other Loonatics and I became the Guardians of the Galaxy, I yet visit from time to time to tutor Eloise."
"Tutor," Max asked.
"I don't go to school," Eloise explained as she got settled in her sleeping bag, "school comes to me. I used to have Phillip, he was no fun, trust me."
"Trust us, Philip really is boring," Mowgli said.
"Oh, he can't be that bad," Max replied as he adjusted his glasses.
Mowgli, Shanti, Ranjan and Eloise merely rolled their eyes.
Penny was the only that seemed to be standing at the edge of the cliff face, hoping to see the festival coming.
Tech helped the others into their sleeping bags for the night and looked over to the golden-haired girl. "Penny, come get some sleep," he called gently to the young princess.
"But what if we miss it," Penny frowned.
"You should get some rest," Tech said.
"I wanna wait for the festival," Penny existed.
"Are you sure," Tech asked.
"Positive..." Penny promised.
Tech sighed. "Alright...but if you get sleepy, your bag is ready for you..." he said, showing her sleeping bag in place.
Penny nodded, giving a thumb's up, as she looked out into the darkness.
Later on, Penny saw something coming. Everyone else was fast asleep.
"I don't wanna wake them up..." Penny whispered to herself and decided to check the fact out for herself, she took a flashlight and went to explore.
Max could hear something coming.
Penny looked around as she shone her flashlight. "Are any Pokemon that might wanna be captured by me out there," she asked silently and gently, hoping it was a Pokemon that she could catch as her very own. "I promise not to hurt you, my mother's best friends with birds and mice," she saw that it was vehicles. This made her crystal eyes widen slightly in concern.
Sure enough, everybody else awakened from the noise. Soon Penny ran back to the others.
"It's the carnival stuff," Odette announced with a grin, "we were too early!"
"Yes," Penny nodded while shivering.
Then the vehicles stopped and the working men went into their positions to set up the rides and amusement for the visitors.
"Ooh," Larvitar grinned.
"Ooh, let's go," Vulpix rushed.
"WOAH," Ranjan caught him by his tail, "not so fast, buddy."
"Aww," Vulpix pouted.
"Don't worry, be patient," Ranjan soothed.
Vulpix pouted as he had to wait now.
"Uh, we can at least explore," Ranjan decided.
"ALRIGHT," Vulpix beamed and zipped, dragging him along.
"Yah," Ranjan yelped.
"Wow, his Vulpix sure doesn't have any patience," Max said.
"C'mon, we better go before we get left behind," Tech chuckled.
"Agreed," Mowgli nodded.
Then they all went to explore and check out the carnival.
Most of the sights were Pokemon based, which thrilled Penny instantly. And which caused her to really want a Pokémon of her very own even more. Then there came a magician who stood outside, he put his hat on the ground and tapped it with his wand to let huge red balls fly out from his illusionist whims.
"Oh, I absolutely love magic," Eloise beamed.
"But how is he able to fit these in his hat," Ditto asked.
"It's magic, Ditto," Eloise grinned.
There came a woman with fans and she was swaying the balls apart with her fans.
"That must be his lovely assistant," Eloise said.
"I think Brock is interested more into her than into the magic," Ditto whispered.
"You guys say something," Brock asked while blushing at the beautiful blonde woman.
"Only that you are love struck again," Eloise smirked after hearing so much about Brock.
Ditto chuckled with Eloise.
"I don't think he's paying attention anymore," Penny chuckled as she saw the love-struck look on Brock's face.
The balls were all coming together. At last, they burst and somehow became wooden crates. Then the crates came together and made a big inflated shape, which impressed the children instantly as they had never seen anything like it before and were truly amazed.
"Wow," Shanti grinned.
"Man, I've never seen such a fact..." Jenny was sure impressed.
Then a railroad was built by another vehicle, which allowed a train to go down the track after them. The sun was starting to rise as the carnival was all coming together now.
"Ooh," Teddy grinned.
"I guess we can go in now," Ash grinned, "dibs on the bumper cars!"
"You better get to the bumper cars then before Mowgli beats you to them," Emi smirked.
Ash laughed as he ran with Mowgli to the bumper cars.
Sure enough, more people showed up for the carnival and now they could all really have some fun. Unfortunately, they were being followed by Cassidy and Butch and their Raticate who learned how to speak after listening into some English classes.
"I do wonder how Molly's doing," Shanti thought to herself as she saw Teddy at play, which made her think of the Spell of the Unknown adventure a long while back, "it's been ages since we last saw each other...I hope she's alright...she was like the sister I've always wanted next to Barbie and Kelly."
"This is going to be so much fun," Ranjan said.
Brock incidentally hit the wall and fell out of his car as he attempted to flirt with another girl, but she was obviously not interested.
"This is the best job ever," Butch said, disguised as a clown with Cassidy and Raticate.
"We just have to pass around paper," Cassidy added in as they threw out flyers for the upcoming magic show as the gang explored the carnival, having the most fun they'd ever had in their whole young lives.
Raticate seemed to enjoy the new job they were doing as well.
"Hey, what's this," Odette asked as she picked up one of the flyers, "the Grand Butler Magic Show."
"Hey, that's the magician we saw last night," Max remembered.
"Cool," Penny grinned.
"If that was how the Grand Butler built his tent, but I can't wait to see his show," Ash grinned with anticipation.
"Same here," Mowgli grinned.
"What luck," Raticate whispered.
There was a very beautiful young teenage girl who had crimson hair tied in pigtails in a glittering lavender top with a darker lavender skirt, white tights and platinum boots. She looked somewhat familiar in some fashions more than none. Mowgli and Shanti looked to her very curiously and even Eloise did so.
"She looks a little like Dad's old friend Atlas," Mowgli commented.
"She looks like my mother's Aunt Connie," Eloise commented as well.
Soon there was a strongman next to the beautiful young teenage girl and where they looked exactly alike and where an elderly couple came with them.
"You don't think," Mowgli, Shanti and Eloise looked to each other.
The teenage girl hugged the couple and grinned to them.
"We're so proud of you, Alexandrite," the graying blonde woman grinned.
"I know, Mum, but I couldn't have done it without my favorite strong brother," Alexandrite grinned.
"Where is he anyhow," the elder man asked their daughter.
"Over here, Dad," their son said, coming over, sleeveless as always.
"There you are," the father chuckled.
Then the four members hugged each other.
"You guys better take your seats, the show should start any moment," Alexandrite suggested.
"Alright, we'll see you soon, darling," Connie grinned.
The two performers who were the children of the couple waved as they went inside.
"They really make me proud......" Connie said as she walked into the tent with Atlas. Soon she turned and saw Mowgli, Shanti, Ranjan and Eloise.
"These children look familiar..." Atlas said to himself.
"Yes, the little blonde looks so much like Darla, only without the gap in her teeth..." Connie nodded in agreement, "not to mention that older boy looks just like Mowgli, but with green eyes."
"Could these be their children," Atlas grinned.
Mowgli, Shanti, Ranjan, Odette and Eloise walked over and greeted the two adults.
"Well, hello there..." Connie grinned as Atlas held her in his arm.
"Are you the guy that Dad and Queen Leah met in the circus," Mowgli asked Atlas.
"That would be me," Atlas said before bending down to shake hands with Mowgli, "and you must be his youngest son."
"Not to mention strongest," Shanti added.
"That's me," Mowgli grinned as he shook hands with Atlas.
"Oh, I see," Atlas chuckled, "you're so much like him in personality."
"Thank you, sir," Mowgli grinned and where incidentally squeezed his hand while yet shaking it.
"Ooh, you can stop now, jocko," Atlas said.
"Oops, I'm sorry," Mowgli grinned bashfully.
"Then it is you...." Connie grinned fondly, "we hear your father's quite the famous detective these days."
"He sure is," Ranjan grinned.
"I wanna be just like him if I grow up," Mowgli beamed.
"That's so sweet..." Connie grinned, but looked to Eloise, "and who is this cutie pie?"
"I am Eloise, I am six," Eloise gave her usual introduction, "I am a city child."
"I can already warn you're Darla's daughter," Connie grinned.
"Yes, my mother is perfectly lovely..." Eloise grinned back.
"And who are you," Atlas asked Odette.
"My name's Odette...." Odette replied shyly, "my papa calls my mother 'Leach', but everyone else calls her 'Leah'."
"Well, I'll be, Leah got married....." Atlas said to Connie.
"I always knew she would get hitched," Connie grinned.
"I see you two wasted no time in that..." Ranjan chuckled.
Emi and Jenny came over and then the group introduced them to Atlas and Connie, hearing much about them from their parents and the girls introduced themselves as Mowgli and Ranjan's girlfriends.
"I see, and where are your boyfriends," Connie smirked to Eloise, Odette and Shanti.
"He is back at the castle," Odette said about Chip.
"And mine's eventually back home in Kushin," Eloise said about Leon, missing him so much right now.
"I...I don't have a boyfriend......" Shanti stared at the ground, "I mean...I thought I liked this one boy named Zephyr, but I don't think he's right for me anymore."
"It's because he thought love was disgusting," Mowgli explained.
Shanti pouted at the memory since she thought she was in love with Zephyr, only for him to be disgusted with the idea of falling in love, especially with her.
"Don't worry, you'll find your prince someday," Connie soothed.
"I guess..." Shanti sighed, she was the only one of their group who didn't have a significant other which often depressed her, but soon she felt like there was someone out there for her and where all she had to do was wait. She remembered what her Queen Leah warned her and tried not to let it bother her too much.
Sure enough, they went inside the tent with the other carnival visitors.
"This is so emotional," Vulpix grinned.
The room was suddenly dark. A spotlight shone down upon the Grand Butler as he was going to amaze the crowd with his magic tricks and include Pokemon in on them, and where this interested the Pokemon. The Grand Butler took out his hat to show it was empty, but he tapped his magic wand against it, and made pigeon/dove-like fashions flutter from the inside of the hat and they flew above the crowd.
"What are these ones," Penny asked her cousins about the bird-like fashion.
"Pidgey," Mowgli explained.
"Ah..." Penny grinned.
Then Butch and Cassidy, in disguise, rushed over to the magician's side with a concession stand and whooped as they acted goofy like the clowns they were dressed up as. Then the Grand Butler waved his wand and took his hat from the refreshment stand to show a Pokemon that entranced Shanti in a best fashion.
"She looks so graceful....." Shanti grinned to herself about the Kirila.
And where the hat seem to land on the head of a Mightyena. Then the magician waved his wand, which made a box close up on the Kirila. Then the wand became a red cloth and was placed over the box. Ash was on the edge of his seat as he watched with the others as Pikachu ate his popcorn. Then the Grand Butler took out a new wand and a flame ignited on the white tip and he set the covered box on fire.
"Ooh," Teddy grinned.
The others gasped upon seeing this from that as there was pink smoke everywhere. Then there came the beautiful blonde woman in her red dress from earlier as she held something in her arms. The crowd was amazed, especially Brock since a pretty lady was now in the spotlight.
"What a trick," Brock clapped wildly.
"I wonder if we'll see Atlas and Connie's son and daughter on stage as well," Penny said.
"I think you're about to get your wish," Odette pointed up.
Then Penny looked up.
"Ready, Alex," the strong boy asked Alexandrite.
"Ready as I'll ever be, Herc," Alexandrite said, "did you remember to bring your Machoke?"
"You know it, go get your Buneary out," the strong boy nodded.
Alexandrite kissed her Pokeball and then tossed it out to take out a brown bunny rabbit with cream puffs. "C'mon, Bunny, the show must go ahead," she warned her bunny Pokemon.
Her Buneary nodded and where it began to jump, ready to go out. Then Alexandrite put Bunny on her head and balanced her as she took out a bar and unicycled across the tightrope with her Buneary on her head. This entranced and entertained the crowd. Bunny grinned and waved as she rode on Alexandrite's head.
Once they reached the end of the tight rope, both Bunny and Alexandrite jumped down and landed gracefully on the ground. The crowd cheered for them and some even threw roses. Alexandrite took one and bent down, giving it to her Pokemon. Then Bunny took it and ate it, which made the people laugh slightly.
"Alright, Muscles, it's our turn time to show them a show of strength," Hercules said as he tossed his Pokeball, letting out his grey-skinned Pokémon that was a Machamp.
The woman waited for the two until she would show the crowd what she had since it would only be fair.
"That's my baby," Connie called out before whistling.
Hercules grinned sheepishly and weakly waved to the audience as Machamp was ready for their part of the show. Soon the two of them were given heavy weights for them to lift as well as boxing gloves for them to put on. Alexandrite and Bunny assisted them until they then went backstage.
Soon Hercules and Muscles both started to lift up the heavy weights before bending some dumbbell weights before they put on the boxing gloves to give them a show of Western spurs between Pokémon and human. The audience approved as they watched the two. Hercules and Muscles hummed a song together as they went to work. Atlas and Connie grinned proudly to each other about their children who were now carnival folk, but luckily yet had time to be with the family. Hercules and Muscles both threw punches left and right until they ended with their fists colliding.
"He's so lucky...." Mowgli said to himself.
Their fists colliding sent out a sonic boom that blew everyone's hair back and where they all applauded, finding it amazing.
"AWESOME SAUCE," Mowgli cheered.
"Sounds like we had a number one fan," Hercules grinned to Muscle.
Muscles nodded in agreement. Then Hercules and Muscles bowed and moved with Alexandrite and Bunny. The woman grinned to them, but she stepped into the spotlight and held out her rock-like fashion, which entranced the crowd. Soon Max and Penny both heard a voice.
"SARAAAAABIIIIIIIIIII!!" the loud voice echoed through their ears as the others watched the show with wonder and awe.
"Wait, what," Penny asked, confused.
"Did you hear what I heard," Max asked Penny.
"Something about wishes," Penny replied.
"Same with me," Max said.
Brock was emotional to see more beautiful women show up for the show, which made the others roll their eyes slightly. Soon the rock-fashion object stopped glowing once the woman brought it back down.
"Making beautiful girls appear magically from thin air," Brock blushed again, "I eventually found a career for me!"
Then the Grand Butler helped the woman down as Alexandrite and Hercules came back behind the two older performers.
"We have to find out where that voice came from," Penny whispered to Max.
Max nodded, agreeing with her about that.
"Thank you, you're all too kind," the Grand Butler grinned to the audience. "For me, the real magic is until I hear your applause. Thank you very much! I am known as the Grand Butler," he gave a small bow, which made the audience lightly clap for him, "and our gifted and talented young ones with their own Pokemon: Alexandrite and Hercules!"
Alexandrite curtsied and Hercules bowed as the audience clapped for them.
"And last, but certainly not least, this is my assistant, Diane," the Grand Butler introduced the beautiful woman behind him.
Tech grinned and clapped for Diane.
"I couldn't do the show without Mightyena and Kirila," the Grand Butler grinned to the Pokemon behind him, which had his hat until the other Pokemon came out from underneath it.
"And we couldn't have done it without Muscles or Bunny," Alexandrite and Hercules said, grinning to their own Pokemon.
Muscles began to flex its muscles like a body builder while Bunny gave a small curtsy. The audience grinned as they clapped even more. Atlas grinned proudly while Connie bowed her head with a grin back and joyful tears in her eyes.
"Wish Maker..." the voice said to Penny and Max again, "the comet..."
"The comet," Penny and Max said as they looked up before they looked down at the performers, "where are you?"
Then there was glowing down on Diane, which caught their attention.
"I wish you were both here......with me..." the voice said inside of Diane's object.
"You're in there," Max asked before standing straight up with Penny. "C'mon, Penny," he said to the young princess.
Then the two ran down the bleachers and went to the spotlight.
"Max?! Penny," May called to her brother and the young princess.
Then Ash, Emi, Mowgli and Shanti went down after Max and Penny.
"Hey, you need to get back to your seats," Diane said to the wandering children as she held her object in her arms.
"We're very sorry, but we heard a voice coming from that," Penny said with a curtsy before pointing to the rock-like fashion.
The two adults looked curiously to them and then to each other.
"Guys," Ash and Mowgli rushed over.
"We're very sorry about this..." Emi said to the two adults.
"We really are," Shanti added.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems we have some volunteers to help us with our next trick," the Grand Butler grinned, "ladies and gentlemen, you all must be in show business because your timing is impeccable!"
"You could say that," Shanti said.
"Fellow magicians, what are your names," Diane bowed.
"Penny," Penny curtsied.
"My name is Ash," Ash grinned.
"I'm Emi," Emi grinned with her brother.
"I'm Mowgli, this is my sister, Shanti," Mowgli introduced as he stood with his twin.
"I'm Max...the Grand," Max added in.
"Pikachu," Pikachu grinned as he stayed on Ash's shoulder.
"Max the Grand," Penny chuckled silently to Max.
Max shrugged sheepishly. Then Butch and Cassidy were bringing over a box. Raticate was pushing the box from behind.
"Let's do it," the Grand Butler grinned, "since you are obviously grand magicians, feast your eyes on Butler's Burning Box! You must simply escape from the box before it bursts into flames!"
"Burning box..." Ash asked in horror.
"I am suddenly afraid," Shanti gulped.
"That's your cue," Diane grinned.
"But Diane, we're not really magicians," Max panicked.
"Yes, yes, sure, and we're not really clowns," Cassidy smirked.
"But you don't understand, we really aren't real-----" Penny tried to warn them.
"It's not fair that Max and the others get to be in the show and I don't," May complained.
"You said it," Brock sounded frustrated, "if there's anyone who should be sharing the same stage as Diane, it's me!"
"Let's just enjoy the show," Ranjan said.
Then the six children all fit into the box together as it was being closed up. Then Butch and Cassidy spun the box around with them inside of it.
"Woah," Penny yelped as she got close to Max.
Max blushed slightly since Penny was a girl and right next to him. "Uh, hey there..."
"Hi..." Penny blinked.
Sure enough, the box stopped spinning. Then a Dusclops was wandering onto the stage.
"Um, why is that Dusclops on that stage," Ranjan asked hesitantly.
"Don't Dusclops have Hyper Beams," Jenny asked herself.
Soon Ditto and Eloise gulped as they knew what attack it was going to use. The children had ten seconds to escape.
"How are we supposed to get out," Ash asked.
"Punch a road out," Emi suggested to her brother.
"I like the sound of that," Mowgli smirked, before having a more reasonable idea, "I suggest we not do anything."
"But we need to get out of this box before we become barbecue," Shanti reminded her twin.
"Oh, trust me, I don't think we'll get barbecued," Mowgli said.
"We better not...." Emi said.
Mowgli held her to console her. They continued to hear the magician's voice counting down. Then the box they were in seemed to lower as the magician counted down as Dusclops activated its Hyper Beam, which set the box on fire, and soon where Mowgli, Ash, Emi, Shanti, Max, Penny and Pikachu were sent down a secret door before the Hyper Beam hit. Of course, the audience was not informed of this since it was supposed to be a magic trick.
At last, the Great Butler completed counting down and then blasted its Hyper Beam to the box, igniting it in flames instantly, which concerned and alarmed the crowd. Ranjan gulped as he was concerned for his siblings and friends. Jenny took Ranjan's hand and squeezed it. Then Ranjan took this as a chance to hold Jenny in consolation and warmth.
"Did they survive," Teddy asked out of concern.
"I wish they did...." Ranjan grinned hesitantly, "it's just a trick....right?"
"I can't look anymore......" Odette covered her eyes.
"Same here," Mismagius covered her eyes as well.
Then the Grand Butler showed his audience that the box was now empty once the smoke cleared.
"Wait, what," Larvitar said in confusion.
"No luck," Ranjan gasped as Jenny looked jaw-dropped.
Alexandrite and Hercules grinned to the crowd as they were struck and amazed.
"Where'd they go," Eloise asked.
"Perhaps they went into a void," Ditto suggested.
"Oh, Ditto, don't be so silly, silly, silly..." Eloise looked up at her Pokemon.
Most of the audience members cheered and the others seemed to reappear right behind them.
"How'd they get back there," Jenny grinned.
"Magic..." Ranjan shrugged with hesitation, but grinned in relief that his friends and little brother and sister were all right.
"You knew that would happen, didn't you," Emi asked Mowgli.
Mowgli bit his lip. "If I say yes, do I get a kiss?"
"Of course," Emi replied.
"Yes," Mowgli stated.
Soon Emi gave him a kiss on the lips. Mowgli blushed and grinned from the kiss.
"Smarty Pants," Emi teased.
Mowgli didn't take offense to that as he knew she was just teasing.
"Let's thank these magicians, Ash, Emi, Mowgli, Shanti, Penny, Pikachu and Max the Grand," the Grand Butler grinned as he shone a spotlight on the others.
"That name is now sounding amazing," Penny grinned.
"Sheesh, thanks," Max grinned back to Penny.
"You're welcome," Penny grinned before giving him a kiss on the cheek without thinking.
Max blinked in surprise and turned slightly red in the face from the kiss.
"I-I am very sorry, I wasn't thinking if I did that," Penny said hesitantly.
"Uh, it's alright..." Max chuckled sheepishly, "no harm done."
"Do you think they'll warn us how they did it," May asked as she clapped.
"Do you think they'll introduced me to that girl, Diane," Brock beamed as he clapped with her.
"May I pull his ear," Jenny asked May.
May nodded and allowed him to do so. Then Jenny pulled on Brock's ear, which made Ranjan silently chuckle. And where this caused for Brock to flinch in pain. Everyone grinned as the people adored them, until suddenly, their Pokemon were taken.
"PIKACHU!! LARVITAR," Ash and Mowgli cried out in despair.
"Did that just happen," Penny asked.
"This isn't nice," Shanti warned Penny.
"Now that's what I call magic," Cassidy smirked from her spot with Butch.
"Let...us...OUT," Pikachu and Larvitar tried to use their signature moves to escape, but it was no use.
"No luck," Raticate smirked.
"It's no use, your power won't work in our trap," Butch smirked as well.
Then the two clowns revealed themselves.
"Cassidy and Bill, give us back my Larvitar and Ash's Pikachu," Mowgli frowned at the Team Rocket members.
"And why should we do that," Raticate smirked.
"It's part of our trick for the evening," Cassidy smirked darkly, "we're going to make all the Pokemon disappear."
Then Raticate lifted the net to show that Bunny, Muscle, Mightyena, Dusclops and Kirila were so far caught in the net.
"Did that Raticate speak," Ranjan asked.
"Um, we can speak to animals and that's what you're concerned about," Jenny glanced at Ranjan since he was born with the gift and she was blessed with it thanks to him.
"I'm just surprised that Raticate was able to speak English," Ranjan said.
Jenny glanced at him, not sure why that was surprising.
"This is the best part of the show," Raticate smirked as he flicked the switches to take away all the Pokemon for Giovanni.
"We can't let them get away, Mama," Teddy said.
"Let's get 'em," Shanti agreed firmly.
"I'll do it," the Grand Butler grinned as he took out his wand, "behold, we have one final performance as our encore! Now, Dusclops, 'Capitata'!"
Dusclops made a sphere in its hands and threw it up toward Team Rocket.
"They're about to go blasting off," Mowgli snickered.
The blimp shook from the impact and the two Pokemon were thrown in the air. Ash and Mowgli caught their Pokemon safely in their arms.
"And the bad guys are blasting off," Penny snickered.
"Let's give them an encore of our own," Ash firmly agreed.
Then Larvitar and Pikachu used their signature moves against Team Rocket, first freeing the trapped Pokemon.
"No magic act would be full without a vanishing act, where we've saved the best for last," the Grand Butler said, "Dusclops, use Night Shade!"
Then Dusclops done away Team Rocket, which then sent them blasting off again.
"We shouldn't see them for a long time," Shanti said.
The crowd went wild again, just thinking Team Rocket was part of the show, but many of the others were sure that was not the case since they had known Team Rocket for a long time now. Max and Penny stared at Diane's rock again as the show drew to a close.
Later...
Atlas and Connie came to see their children once the show was over now.
"Children, that was a grand show," Connie grinned.
"Thanks, Mum, it was nothing," Hercules grinned back.
"You two are born performers, I mean, well, that's how I met your mother," Atlas grinned bashfully as he remembered if Connie was a Las Vegas show girl and he was an ex-circus performer.
"Aw," Alexandrite grinned.
Connie and Atlas grinned back and hugged their children.
"Well, uh...children, do you know what that comet fact your friend Diane had," Connie asked.
"Yes, that was very intriguing and yet so baffling..." Atlas agreed.
"It's Jirachi," Hercules warned them.
"Jirachi," Connie and Atlas asked as the others came down to meet the performers.
"It's a legend," the Grand Butler warned the others about the Pokemon they had just heard about. "Jirachi is a very special Pokemon that wakes every thousand years. I think it's sleeping right inside here," he looked down to the comet curiously.
"Like a cocoon," Brock commented.
"Yes," Ranjan said.
"Awesome," Ash and Pikachu cheered.
"That's amazing," May grinned.
"Well, the voice that Max and Charity heard--" Emi was about to ask.
"Yes," the Grand Butler confirmed. "That is said that in order to awaken it from its slumber, Jirachi needs for two facts to happen; the Millennium Comet must be visible in the night heavens and Jirachi must find itself a friend or two."
"Looks like Max and Penny are the lucky ones," Ranjan said.
"It needs friends," Max and Penny asked about Jirachi.
"Is that why it was speaking to them," Eloise asked.
"Well, all we need now is the comet..." Emi looked to the others, "where is it coming, Brock?"
Brock thought about it for a moment and then remembered. "It's tonight!"
"Looks like it has all the requirements it needs to awaken," Mowgli said.
"Hello...Jirachi..." Max spoke softly and hesitantly.
"It's Penny and Max..." Penny added in.
The comet did not reply at all, which concerned them.
"First Max is hearing facts and now he's made friends with a big rock," May whispered to make her brother sound crazy.
"We're not crazy," Penny frowned.
"CUT IT OUT," Max snapped at his sister, "you're just jealous Jirachi chose us to speak to and not you!"
"They also say Jirachi has the power to grant wishes, but it can't do anything without first having you two as its friend," the Grand Butler informed.
"Cool," Shanti grinned.
"C'mon, let's get to know each other better," Penny said to Max.
"Yes, let's do it," Max happily agreed.
"Max, Penny, meet Jirachi," the Grand Butler introduced as he held out the comet to the young children.
"How do you do," Max asked as he took the comet from the magician and looked at it with Penny, both with friendly grins.
"This is so weird," Larvitar whispered.
"Wow...Max, can I see what it feels like," May held out her hand.
Max huffed and kept the comet away from his sister with a firm pout.
"Let me see," May frowned.
"Oh, sure, now she wants to see it," Teddy commented.
"I thought it was crazy to be friends with a rock," Penny smirked to May.
"Yes, well, I was just joking....." May grinned hesitantly, "please, let me just hold it?"
"No luck, c'mon, Penny," Max replied before running with the comet in his arms and ran with his new princess friend.
May started to chase after them. Max and Penny teased May as they ran apart from her.
"These two are so cute together," Shanti grinned.
"Who'd think it," Mowgli grinned back.
"Ah, young love," Connie rested her head on Atlas's shoulder.
"Such a wonderful fact," Atlas grinned.
"Indeed so..." Connie agreed, remembering since they first met. "Do you have a boyfriend, Eloise," she asked her grand-niece.
Eloise blushed. "There's an older boy I like...he's nine."
"That's adorable," Connie grinned.
"He's the Prince of Kushin," Eloise replied.
"I thought his name was Kentaro," Atlas replied.
"That really is, but he called himself Leon, he likes that name better because of a book he likes," Eloise explained.
"Well, that's so cute, I'd love to see you two together," Connie agreed.
"My mother was a debutante..." Eloise nodded, "I have to be one just like her."
"That's grand," Connie grinned.
"Did you get to see my mother until she was at her ball," Eloise asked.
"I've only heard of it, I was busy with Atlas by then, darling..." Connie replied, "I was given pictures though, you're so much like her if she was your age."
"My mother knows everybody..." Eloise grinned back, "she knows Mr. Peabody, the owner of the hotel, she knows Phillip's dean, and she even knows the Ambassador of Moscow."
"Yes, your mother is a very wonderful woman..." Connie hugged Eloise, "why don't we all go explore the carnival ground together?"
The others agreed and they moved out. Penny walked alongside Max as he carried Jirachi's comet barrier.
Mowgli gave Penny a slight push to get her closer to Max.
"What are you doing here," Penny hesitantly asked Mowgli.
"Have your parents spoke about giving you an arranged marriage," Mowgli replied.
"No, my mother spoke Lord Rogers and Bridget into letting me marry whoever I want for love because that's how she and my father got married..." Penny grinned.
"That's grand," Mowgli grinned.
Soon Penny looked at Max and soon where she started to blush.
"I think you like Max....." Mowgli said.
"Oh, but what if he doesn't like me," Penny pouted, "I mean, he does seem nice and fun......I'm afraid of rejection."
"Would you like for me to use my vision power to see if he's the one for you," Mowgli asked.
Penny shuffled her foot. "Maybe...I have been wondering......" she admitted, "I've never really thought of boys like that before."
Mowgli grinned before he used his vision power to look and see if Max was the one. Penny grinned hopefully, she looked to Max as he carried Jirachi's comet and held it close like Penny did with Teddy's egg before he was hatched. Soon Mowgli saw a vision with Penny and Max holding hands while looking up in the heavens. The two grinned to each other as their eyes sparkled with the stars, which were like diamonds in the dark blue/purple heavens. Soon Mowgli awakened from the vision with a grin.
Penny looked on the edge. "Well," she asked, "how did it look?"
"You and him are meant to be," Mowgli said.
Penny beamed.
Mowgli patted her on the head. "Congratulations."
Then Penny walked behind Max with a slight spring in her step as she was hoping for it to be and was now giddy as she was meant to be with Max.
Mowgli, Shanti, Ranjan and Odette seemed a little jealous that Eloise was able to go to Moscow, but perhaps they could somehow go now since Darla knew the ambassador.
"What should we ride," Shanti asked.
"Wow, look at this," May's voice said.
The others looked over as May was at one of the concession stands.
"You have excellent taste, little lady," the vendor smirked, "that there is a wishing star."
"A wishing star," Penny grinned.
"That's for the Millennium Comet," the vendor replied, "on each seven nights that the comet appears, all you have to do is pull down one of the sections and make a wish. If you do it all seven nights, but your wish will come true."
May saw the look in Penny's eyes and decided to buy one for herself and one for her.
"We'll take them," she said, referring to herself and Penny.
"Wonderful choice, but you both only get one wish each, then make it count," the vendor reminded.
"Oh, we will," Penny grinned.
May looked thoughtful as she then wondered what to wish for. Then there were fireworks and as they puffed in the night heavens, they resembled forms of various Pokemon.
"Woah, won't you look at that," the vendor grinned, "won't be long before the comet appears."
Penny grinned as she had a certain wish in mind.
"Can you see that, Jirachi," Max grinned as he held the rock close, "fireworks!"
"Aren't they beautiful," Penny asked the rock.
Max and Penny stood close together as they watched the Pokemon fireworks.
"I can't wait to see the comet," Larvitar grinned.
"I know I'm ready for it," Vulpix agreed.
Soon it became nighttime. Then they were all getting into a comfortable spot.
"It's getting cloudy," Ash noticed.
"We might not be able to see the comet tonight," Brock replied.
"Mowgli, can blow some of them off," Ranjan said.
"Only if he doesn't mind," Emi grinned to Mowgli.
"I don't mind at all," Mowgli said.
Then Emi sat up and got off of his shoulder. Then Mowgli took a deep breath as Max and Penny hugged Jirachi's comet.
Then Mowgli soon blew all of the clouds apart to make the heavens cloudless. Then he shivered slightly and took a drink of water and then breathed in relief. "Ah."
Sure enough, the carnival was closing for the night, where everything powered down.
"Woah, these sure are some powerful lungs you have, Mowgli," Max said, impressed after a little while.
"You can say that again......" Mowgli chuckled sheepishly. "I'm a pretty 'Super boy'..." he winked.
"Oh, boy," Shanti rolled her eyes playfully.
"Aw, c'mon, you had to see that coming," Mowgli chuckled.
"Yes, I really should have," Shanti said.
"You, Penny, and I are gonna be best friends, Jirachi," Max smiled.
"Right, friends..." Penny frowned as she counted one of the seven nights of the comet.
The others looked to the heavens in amazement as the clouds broke apart from the heavens.
"I guess some clouds survived," Ranjan said.
"At least, it's more clear now...." Mowgli replied, "perhaps we can see the comet."
"Yes," Emi grinned.
"The Millennial Comet right on schedule," Odette pointed to the clear heavens.
"Yes," Shanti nodded.
"Oh! I better make my wish," May remembered as she took out her Wishing Star and pulled down the first flap for the first night.
Penny did the same fact with hers.
"Once every thousand years......" Ash grinned at the sight of the comet.
"We're all so, so, so lucky," Eloise beamed before sighing. "I bet Leon would love this..." she said as she remembered going to the Planetarium with her prince back in New York and missed him a lot now since he was able to go back home after she had helped him and his father during their stay at the hotel.
"Where do you think it'll awaken," Ranjan asked.
"I hope soon...." Penny said as she put her hand on the rock while Max hugged it, having fallen asleep, but kept his hold.
"Aw! Look at him all tuckered out," Mowgli grinned.
May grinned as she jumped off the boulder she was on and stroked her brother's ebony hair. "Good night, Max."
"Mummy..." Max muttered in his sleep.
This gave May an idea what to do next. She grinned to her little brother and hummed a song while shutting her eyes right next to him. The others also grinned and looked curious of the song that May was humming. The Pokémon were the most curious.
"That was a lullaby our mother used to sing," May explained with a grin as she sat back on top of the boulder, but she closed her eyes and continued to hum the song while Max was fast asleep.
Penny started to sleep with him and the rock. She had her own song in her head. It was her mother's old song: "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes". The rock-like fashion started to glow. Everyone winced slightly from the brightness and it even was enough to awaken Max and Penny.
"The star...the star is calling," the voice cried out in grief.
"Did that voice just say what I think it just said," Mowgli asked.
"That must've been Jirachi's voice," Jenny replied.
"It's telepathy," Brock gasped upon seeing this.
"What," Penny asked, confused.
The rock glowed even brighter and then appeared to be levitating into the air.
"Ooh," Teddy grinned.
Then there was a huge glow and a new Pokemon appeared, appearing to be bundled up like a newborn infant.
"Aw," Penny grinned at how cute it looked.
The Pokemon had a white face and had a golden star-like fashion over its head. Then it slowly floated down and unwrapped its body and ended up in Penny and Max's arms. Jirachi slowly opened its eyes and then looked around with a small coo.
"Hello," Penny grinned.
"Jirachi..." Max grinned to the Pokemon.
"Amazing," Mowgli said.
"Jirachi, I'm Max and this is Penny," Max introduced with a grin.
"Hello...Max and Penny...." Jirachi replied.
"I'm Emi, this is my brother Ash and this is Pikachu," Emi introduced.
"Hi there," Pikachu chirped.
"My name's May," May grinned.
"And I'm Brock," Brock introduced.
"I'm Mowgli and this is my twin sister, Shanti and this is our older brother, Ranjan and his girlfriend, Jenny and this is our cousin Odette, and these are our Pokémon: Larvitar, Teddiursa, or as Shanti likes to call him, Teddy and then, there is Vulpix and Mismagius," Mowgli introduced.
"Nice to meet you," Teddy grinned, coming over his shyness.
Then Jirachi said hello to all of them.
"You sure are cute," Vulpix grinned.
Diane rushed over to the group.
"Ms. Diane, it's Jirachi, it awakened," Penny grinned to the blonde woman.
"I'll go warn Butler the best news, in the mean time, you guys you can camp out in our bus tonight," Diane grinned as she ran off the other road.
"Thanks," Shanti grinned back.
Teddy went after Diane, willing to know why she didn't let them come with her.
Alexandrite and Hercules were getting very tired.
"What a day..." Alexandrite said as she was holding Bunny.
"You can say that again," Hercules said be he and Muscles saw Diane going inside the tent.
"Hi, Diane," the siblings greeted the blonde woman.
"Is Butler yet in there," Diane asked the siblings as their Pokemon were getting sleepy.
"Yes," Hercules nodded.
"I'd hurry if I were you..." Alexandrite said before yawning.
Then Diane went into the tent, not knowing that there was a curious little Teddiursa following her. Muscles saw what Teddy was doing and was curious himself. Bunny jumped out of Alexandrite's lap and jumped along with the other Pokemon.
"It was true," Diane said as she came up behind the Grand Butler.
"I knew it," Butler smirked, "Jirachi will be the star of our biggest show!"
"The star of their show," Teddy asked silently to himself.
"I've waited forever for this day," Butler smirked darkly as he used his wand to take out metal devices.
Teddy suddenly got a chill down his spine as he could sense that Butler had smirked darkly.
"This isn't like him....." Bunny pouted.
Teddy looked to see the other two Pokemon. "Oh," he gasped, but kept silent, "I didn't know you guys were here."
"We became curious of why you were following Diane and now we see Butler has something planned and it has something to do with using Jirachi," Muscles whispered.
"That's why I followed that lady," Teddy nodded silently, "is the Grand Butler evil?"
"Right now, it seems so," Bunny said silently.
"We've never seen him act like this before," Muscles added in silence.
"We need to warn the others," Teddy whispered.
"C'mon then," Muscles replied.
Then the three Pokemon moved back outside.
Hercules and Alexandrite showed their parents to their shelter and offered to let them stay with them where they could be as a family again.
"We'd love to stay," Atlas grinned.
"We were hoping you guys would," Alexandrite grinned to their parents.
"Yes, we've really missed you guys," Hercules grinned.
"Well, in that case, we'll stay," Connie decided.
"We're just very proud of you both," Atlas grinned proudly.
Soon Muscles and Bunny rushed to their trainers.
"Oh, hey, guys, where were you," Hercules asked as he picked up Muscle.
"Back in the tent and we found out more about, Butler," Muscle said.
"What about him," Hercules asked.
"He's secretly evil," Bunny warned them.
"What," Hercules and Alexandrite gasped upon seeing this.
"It's true," Teddy nodded in honesty.
"How can you be so sure," Alexandrite asked.
"We overheard him, honest, with my own big ears," Bunny said, pulling on her ears for emphasis.
"I have to go and warn my mother right away," Teddy said before running away to where Shanti was now.
"You don't think it could be true, do you," Alexandrite asked Hercules about Butler as her face paled from what the Pokemon had just warned them.
"I don't know," Hercules said.
"It can't be...could it.." Alexandrite frowned.
Meanwhile...
"Hey, Jirachi, can you really grant wishes," Penny asked the wish granting Pokemon.
"Wishes," Jirachi tilted its head.
"We must test it out, I must think of something to wish for," Max said.
"Do you think I can try as well," May hoped with a grin.
"Let me make a wish," Ash added in.
"Hey! I was first!" Max warned them.
"Candy," Penny said.
"That's a grand idea," Max agreed. "We wish for lots of candy!"
"That's a dumb wish." May scoffed.
"No, it's not," Max frowned to his sister.
"Candy," Jirachi asked before closing its eyes and then floating as it granted Max's wish.
Nothing seemed to change however.
"Well, where's the candy," Eloise asked.
"Perhaps it didn't work," Odette said.
"There's no such fact as someone being able to grant your wishes," Max smirked smugly, "I knew it!"
"Then how come your mouth was watering," May retorted.
This caused for Max to look defeated.
"Hey, look," Emi pointed.
Everyone looked down to see that both Max and Charity had goody bags in their hands.
"Candy," Jirachi cheered before floating around and bringing out more treats, "candy! Candy! Candy!"
"Wow," Shanti grinned.
"Max, Penny, your wish came true," Ranjan beamed.
Soon the bus was flooding with the candy as Max and Penny cheered as their wish had come true.
"This is amazing," Larvitar grinned.
"Thanks for the candy, Jirachi," Max and Penny cheered.
"Hey, Jirachi, why don't you grant my wish next," Mowgli asked.
"Wait, Jirachi, it's my turn," May held the Pokemon.
"I wish for lots of girls," Brock smirked.
"Uh, perhaps we should we for the candy to stop," Shanti suggested.
"Guys, stop," Emi frowned as the others fought over Jirachi like it was a toy, "you're hurting it!"
"Yes," Mismagius added.
The bus was flooding with the candy that the back doors opened and let out a wave of the candy gummies.
"Woah," Shanti yelped.
"I guess this is probably too much candy," Eloise commented as Ditto latched onto her head as usual.
Ditto nodded in agreement. Then Max and Penny poked their heads out from the candy pile.
"This certainly was too much candy," Shanti said.
"Where's Jirachi," Butler walked over to the children.
"Jirachi's right here," Max took out the Pokemon with a grin.
"Right here! Right here," Jirachi grinned with Max.
"What just happened," Diane asked, looking at the mess.
"Penny and Max wished for lots and lots of candy," Mowgli said.
Diane picked up a package and looked it over. "These are from the snack bar in the park," she replied.
"That's because Jirachi has the ability to teleport facts," Butler grinned simply.
"Oops, but that means that Jirachi did grant their wish, but in the process also stole these from a snack bar," Ranjan said.
"Free at last," May burst her head out and chomped into a chocolate bar after unwrapping it. Soon she saw everyone look at her in shock. "What's the matter...." she asked with a hesitant grin.
"Um, May, that chocolate bar you just ate, well, it's from the snack bar, in fact, all of these snacks and candy are from the snack bar; Jirachi teleported all of this from there to grant their wish," Shanti explained.
"I knew something was funny..." May firmly frowned before exploding, "Max, this is all your fault with your and your girlfriend's foolish wish!"
"First, what do you want us to do and secondly, she's not my girlfriend," Max blushed.
"Jirachi can put the candy back where it came from," Brock replied.
"That's right," May frowned, "JIRACHI, GET RID OF THE PROBLEM!!"
"Get rid of problem? Alright," Jirachi said before closing its eyes and then floating in the air before teleporting May apart.
"She's gone," Ash gasped upon seeing this.
"Disappeared," Brock added.
"Vanished," Emi even added.
"May," Pikachu yelped.
"Jirachi, where did you send Max's sister," Penny asked.
"Help, help me," May's voice muffled.
"Found her," Mowgli said before helping her out of the pile of snacks.
May poked out and frowned firmly.
"Alright, now time to get these snacks and candy back to the snack bar," Shanti said.
"Nice fact you're cute...." Penny patted Jirachi on the head.
"Yes," Shanti nodded.
"Sleepy..." Jirachi's eyes felt heavy, "getting very sleepy......"
"Jirachi..." Max held the Pokemon, "is that all he stays awake?"
"He's just recharging and hibernating for if the comet is gone next week," Butler explained.
"Ohh," Penny said, now understanding.
"Thank heavens," Max added as he held Jirachi in his arms.
"That wasn't very funny," May frowned as Jirachi made her disappear and the others were collecting the candy to bring it back to where it rightfully belonged.
"C'mon, May, let's get this candy back to where it belongs," Emi said.
"Awww..." May pouted about that, "oh, boy..."
Atlas was going to join his family, but he decided to help the others with the candy, they were Raja's children after all.
After bringing the candy back, everyone went to bed.
"Thanks for the help, Mr. Atlas," Mowgli grinned to his dad's old friend from the circus.
"You can call me Uncle Atlas if you want," Atlas grinned back, "your old man was like a brother to me before we reunited with mine."
"That is a fun story......" Mowgli replied, "well, thanks for the help....Uncle Atlas."
"No problem, jocko," Atlas grinned, ruffling Mowgli's hair.
Mowgli laughed before yawning. Then they all went to sleep while Max and Penny were too entranced and interested by Jirachi to get an entire lot of sleep.
"C'mon, you two, off to sleep," Emi yawned.
"We'll be there in a moment..." Penny replied as she felt emotional with Max.
"Isn't your curfew like midnight or something," Ranjan joked since she was Uberta's daughter after all.
"Ha ha, very funny," Penny said with a slight eye roll.
Then everyone else went to bed.
The next day came sooner than anyone knew. The sun was slowly coming up and Max and Penny were yet having fun with Jirachi. Jirachi was tucked in for the night and fast asleep until his eyes slowly opened up and he saw the two human children.
"Good morning, Jirachi," Penny grinned.
"How'd you sleep," Max added with a grin as well.
Soon Jirachi hovered out of the bed and hit the ceiling as he slowly awakened.
"Are you alright," Max asked as soon as the wish maker came back down onto the bed.
Jirachi looked to the two and pointed to them. "Max and Penny!"
"That's us," Penny grinned.
"Wish Maker," Jirachi chuckled and floated to hug the children.
"This is going to be the best day ever," Penny cheered.
"Yes, that is," Max happily agreed as he held Jirachi again.
Bunny came out of her Pokeball and sat on Alexandrite's chest and nuzzled against her face to awaken her.
Alexandrite chuckled as she felt tickled by that. "Bunnyyyy!~"
Bunny grinned as she was successful in awakening her trainer. Alexandrite hugged her Bunneary and kissed her on the forehead before yawning and stretching to get out of her bed. Soon Hercules was awakened by Muscles as he felt him being lifted up.
Hercules's eyes opened. "Muscles, I think we spoke about this..."
Muscles smirked as he held up Hercules.
"Looks like you want to go a few rounds," Hercules said.
Muscles nodded to his trainer.
"Alright, put me down and I'll be right back in five moments," Hercules warned his Pokemon.
Soon Muscles placed his trainer on the ground. Then Hercules went to get ready for the day by going to the bathroom, washing his hands and washing his face after brushing his teeth. And after doing his routine, he was all clean and dressed. Muscles did his best to wait patiently until he was playfully tackled by his trainer.
"Gotcha now," Hercules playfully smirked.
Muscles laughed as he and Hercules engaged in their favorite morning activity together and which was wrestling and also sparring in boxing.
Ash and Brock were dressed like clowns as they met Butler and Diane out in the fairgrounds while Alexandrite and Hercules were getting ready for the day.
"You both look grand," Diane grinned.
"And you look grand yourself, Diane," Brock beamed to her.
Mowgli seemed to be dressed as a strongman just as Hercules was.
"Oh, Mowgli...check you out..." Emi grinned to him.
"Thanks, I thought this'd suit me better than a clown suit," Mowgli grinned back before flexing his muscles.
"And it sure does so," Emi grinned back.
Even the Pokemon were emotional.
"Morning, guys," Charity chirped as she rushed over with Max who had Jirachi on his head.
"These two sure are ready to get their day started," Shanti grinned.
"We're gonna go play with Jirachi," Max warned the older children.
"Alright," Ranjan said.
"Just don't go anywhere too far, and come back before the show starts," May warned her little brother.
"Don't worry," Max and Penny chuckled as they ran away together.
"Don't worry! Don't worry," Jirachi added.
"These three sure are becoming best friends," Ranjan said.
"It's so nice," Shanti grinned as she tried on some gypsy clothes that Alexandrite let her borrow.
"You look so cute in that outfit," Alexandrite grinned.
"Thanks, Alexandrite," Shanti grinned back, "my cousin Eloise always says 'think pink; a better fashion of life'."
"So, Hercules, how long have you had Muscles?" Akito asked, referring to the older boy's Machamp.
"Funny fact..." Hercules replied, "it was like the universe even knew it was my birthday a few years back, because it was my birthday and Mum suggested a scavenger hunt. Of course, I was paired with Alex since she's my sister and all, where we went into the forest to find a pinecone. Then we heard something in the bushes and I decided to see what it was and I warned Alex to stay back in case it was dangerous...and there, I saw the Pokemon of my dreams. He didn't like me much at first, but soon we became fast friends...almost like inter-species brothers."
"Was he a Machop," Mowgli asked.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, he was," Hercules nodded.
"Cool," Mowgli grinned.
"He didn't like you at first," Emi asked before chuckling, "kinda reminds me of since Ash first met Pikachu."
"Yes, the first time we met, Muscles caught me and used Vital Throw which sent me flying intro a tree," Hercules chuckled.
Muscles nodded in memory, though that was a long time ago.
"It took some time, Mum was a bit nervous, but after some training, Muscles became part of the family," Hercules grinned as he patted his Pokemon on the head.
"And until did you get Bunny, Alexandrite," Shanti grinned as she gently petted the bunny Pokemon.
"Huh..." Alexandrite paused to think in memory, "kinda like how Hercules got Muscles, only mine was an Easter egg hunt. I was with some friends who had an Easter festival and we were going around, collecting as many eggs as we could...I think they said some golden eggs had like $10 in them...anyhow, I was going around and then I saw a bunny who looked very hurt. Then I picked her up and took her inside to see if we could do anything to help her."
"I was that bunny," Bunny grinned up to Shanti.
"Yes, but I thought you were a normal bunny," Alexandrite replied with a grin back, "we had to stop the Easter egg hunt and go straight to the vet, I was very concerned about her and I really wanted her to be alright before I'd send her back to the wild. I asked Mum and Dad if I could visit all the time like she was my own pet...soon, she got all better and it was time for Bunny to go back to her family, but...she didn't have one and she was so attached to us."
"Aw," Shanti grinned.
"Wait, you can speak to Pokemon as well," Emi asked Hercules and Alexandrite.
"Yes," Hercules grinned, "Dad said it's a family fact."
"I think Mum said she used to have a dog she spoke to before she met Dad," Alexandrite added before hugging Bunny.
"Cool," Emi grinned.
Max, Penny and Jirachi laughed as they had all sorts of fun together, which made everyone else happy for them. They also had three spies watching them.
"Jirachi..." Cassidy commented as she looked through binoculars with Butch and Raticate on a hot air balloon, "hey, they say that's the one that can grant wishes."
"And it can teleport as well," Raticate added.
"Our first wish should be that it doesn't teleport apart from us if we capture it," Butch suggested.
"You dunce! What if that's our only wish," Raticate frowned.
Soon this caused for all of Team Rocket to argue with each other.
"Oh, both of you shut up, Raticate and Hutch," Cassidy snapped.
"But he started it," Raticate whined as he pointed to Butch.
"THE NAME IS BUTCH," Butch reminded.
This made the members fight with each other as they spied on Penny, Max and Jirachi before Cassidy suggested to wish for 100 more wishes.
Soon it was becoming sunset and Penny and Max grinned to each other as they enjoyed it and Max seemed to be trying to hold Penny's hand and where Penny began to do the same fact, but the two of them were too shy to do it. They both seemed to blush together, turning almost as red as the heavens. Jirachi seemed to notice this but didn't understood why. Atlas and Connie grinned to their children as they went to go ahead to preform for tonight with their Pokemon. And where Mowgli, Larvitar and Ponyta were included in the show.
"I'm so glad you guys are getting along so well," Emi grinned to Mowgli's bond with Ponyta.
"Same here and not just with Ponyta, but also with Hercules," Mowgli grined before he laughed as he got grabbed into a sleeper hold.
"I love Alex a whole lot, but I'd give anything for a little brother," Hercules teased.
"Oh, you're asking for a beating now," Mowgli smirked playfully as he flipped Hercules.
Emi stepped out of the road before chuckling.
"Where's your dad now, Super Boy," Hercules teased as he began to wrestle with Mowgli.
"Oh, he's busy, but I can handle you," Mowgli smirked playfully as he lifted Hercules up and then pinned him down.
Then Emi saw May needed help and decided to go to her while Mowgli and Hercules did their own fact and where for once in Mowgli's life, he was the one that got pinned down after Hercules got himself free.
"You...you pinned me down...." Mowgli whispered slightly.
"What? Haven't you lost a match before," Hercules asked.
"Never," Mowgli moaned as he tried to get free.
Then Hercules let go and sat on his chest. "Wow, I feel honored."
"Could you get off of me," Mowgli pouted.
Then Hercules got off.
Then Mowgli stood up. "That was a nice match," he said before shaking his hand and where as the two shook hands, their strength was evenly matched.
"Need some help, May," Emi offered.
"Please," May nodded as she tried to keep the concession stand from falling.
Soon Emi helped her with the stand.
Alexandrite was putting on her make-up and soon was ready to go for the show. Soon Bunny used her ears to put powder on her trainer's face. Alexandrite laughed as Bunny helped out.
"You look perfect now," Bunny grinned before she heard something coming.
Max and Penny were now chasing after Jirachi as it had his glasses. Jirachi chuckled as it floated around with Max's glasses.
"Bring Max his glasses back, he needs them," Penny warned the mischievous Pokemon.
Soon Max and Penny caught Jirachi as he got his glasses back on.
"Come here, you silly," Penny chuckled as she hugged Jirachi, "oh, you remind me of Gus and Jaq sometimes."
Soon the three of them laughed together until they heard a tear and looked up to see a part of the tent had been torn open.
"How did that happen," Penny asked before she heard a voice of a Pokemon.
Max looked around with Jirachi before the mirror in front of them instantly shattered and another Pokemon stepped out from inside of it.
"W-Who are you," Penny asked the new Pokemon, slightly afraid.
"Absol..." the Pokemon replied, which startled Max and Penny.
"Absol, w-why are you here," Penny asked as she walked up to the new Pokemon even if she was afraid.
Soon Max backed up and ran off with Jirachi. Then Absol struck against a bunch of boxes, which made them explode and Max stopped in his tracks. Soon the others came over as they heard that Max and Penny were in danger.
"Woah! An Absol," Mowgli said before bringing out his Pokedex to find out more about it.
"Absol: The Disaster Pokemon," his Pokedex warned, "it senses coming disasters and appears before people only to warn them of impending danger. It appears when it senses an impending natural disaster. As a result, it was mistaken as a doom bringer."
"Well, that's unfortunate," Mowgli commented.
"We better find out why its here," Shanti said.
"They usually appear after a tragedy," Butler informed.
"Well, why is it here," Ranjan asked.
"Absol, why are you here," Mowgli asked the Pokemon.
"Let me handle this, that's my little brother," May said before throwing a Pokeball, "Torchic, I need you!"
Soon enough, a chick-like fashion came out.
"Aw," Shanti grinned before bringing out her Pokedex.
"Ooh, she's cute~" Odette cooed about May's Torchic.
"Torchic, Ember," May commanded her Pokemon to go up against Absol to protect Max, Penny and Jirachi.
"Torchic: The Chick Pokemon," Shanti's Pokedex warned her, "it has a flame sac inside its belly that perpetually burns. It feels warm if hugged. A fire burns inside, so it feels very warm to hug. It launches fireballs of 1,800 degrees fahrenheit."
"Wow," Shanti grinned.
Soon Torchic fired out Ember-like fashions at Absol. Absol dodged the Ember bullets as they didn't seem to do anything for him.
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt," Ash warned his Pokemon.
Soon Pikachu jumped in and shot out a thunderbolt. Soon Absol yelled out as the Thunderbolt shot him back successfully. However, he did a flip like a circus performer and landed on all fours. Jirachi looked to Pikachu and Torchic and soon teleported them out of the tent.
"Jirachi, why did you do that," Penny asked out of shock.
Soon Absol saw the others and charged to them like a bull toward a matador's red cape.
"Think he hates clowns," Brock yelped.
"No, I think him and Jirachi might be friends and I think he thinks we stole him from wherever Butler and Diane got him from," Mowgli said.
"That's right, they stole him," Absol frowned.
"Wait, what," Hercules and Alexandrite asked as they didn't seem to know about this despite working for Butler and Diane.
"They stole Jirachi," Mowgli asked.
"Yes, while he was in his cocoon state," Absol frowned.
Bunny jumped into Alexandrite's arms and looked firm.
"You don't say..." Alexandrite said before frowning to her and her brother's bosses.
"Jirachi, please, come back home with me," Absol said.
Butler smirked as he clicked the top of his cane and opened a trapdoor to make Absol fall right into it.
"Meany," Bunny frowned since she knew the truth now.
Absol came out, trapped in a cage.
"A best magician always has a trap door standing side-by-side," Butler smirked. "Final trick..." he made a Pokeball appear in the palm of his hand and made his Kirlia appear. "Kirlia, Hypnosis," he commanded.
"Hypnosis," Kirlia nodded before hypnotizing Absol.
Absol was about to attack, but then fell asleep. Then Butler bowed after that.
"Ash, Emi, there you are," Pikachu rushed to the Ketchum siblings.
"May," Torchic followed after him.
"You alright, Pikachu," Emi asked.
"I don't know what just happened, but suddenly we were on top of the tent," Pikachu said before hugging Emi as she picked him up.
"That was Jirachi, he had teleported you both to the top of the tent," Mowgli explained.
"Why was Absol attacking us," Ash asked as the Pokemon slept inside of the cage.
"Jirachi said that Absol came for him," Penny replied as Max held onto Jirachi securely.
"I just wonder how they could know each other if Jirachi's been asleep for 1,000 years," Brock commented.
"He must have been like Jirachi's guard," Shanti said.
"What can you warn us," Max asked Jirachi.
"I am...so sleepy..." Jirachi looked worn out.
"You deserve some rest," Penny said before looking outside to where Absol was being held.
"You want to check on Absol, don't you," Ranjan asked Penny.
"Yes...I do..." Penny replied, she was just as kind and gentle to animals as her mother was since she first befriended the mice in her step-mother's care.
"You can go and keep it company," Mowgli grinned.
"Thank you, Mowgli..." Penny grinned back.
That night, everyone went to bed, but Penny sneaked out to check on Absol and where as she went to check on Absol, a certain someone seemed to sneak into the trailer to take Jirachi. May came out since it was night two of the comet and she hoped her wish would be granted. And where she brought out her wish granter and where Penny did the same as she was already out.
"Oh, Absol, I hope you're alright..." Penny whispered as she came for the new Pokemon.
May saw Diane going into the tent with Jirachi and where Penny saw Diane coming in with him.
"I think Absol's here to take Jirachi back to Farina," Diane said to Butler.
"Probably," Butler replied after he set Jirachi down.
"What are they doing here," Penny whispered as Hercules and Alexandrite both stormed in, looking frustrated with their bosses.
"I know what I'm doing here," Butler smirked.
"Butler, please listen to me....." Diane begged, "I have a sinking feeling that something horrible is going to happen."
"I worked so hard and waited long for this day," Butler replied, "now, it's showtime!"
"What are you going to do be doing with Jirachi and why did you steal him," Hercules frowned at their bosses.
"Hercules! Alexandrite," Diane sounded concerned, "I thought you two were with your parents?"
"We were, but we wanted to know why you stole Jirachi," Alexandrite frowned.
"And you better warn us the truth this time," Hercules also frowned.
"And don't lie," Alexandrite said.
"Why, I'm going to have Jirachi grant a wish for me, of course and it'll eventually come true," Butler grinned darkly.
"And what wish might that be," Alexandrite asked.
"Wouldn't you like to know," Butler scoffed before starting up a machine, which made Jirachi yell out slightly.
"You're hurting him," Alexandrite frowned.
"This is for what I want against my old days until I tried to impress Team Magnum..." Butler growled at her.
"Leave Jirachi alone," Alexandrite frowned with tears in her eyes for the poor Pokemon, "I don't care what you want him for, just stop it!"
Soon Hercules ran to Jirachi to save him.
"Stop," Butler frowned at him, "give us back our children!"
"No, you stop," Alexandrite fronwed at Butler before going to help her brother, but saw something inside of a jar that looked like a fossil, "what is that?"
Butler had brought out Dusclops and where it used Psychic on not only Jirachi, but also Hercules and Alexandrite.
"Heeeey," Hercules and Alexandrite yelled out.
"You brats should've stayed with Mummy and Daddy," Butler frowned at them.
"Butler..." Diane frowned at his actions.
"What is that fossil," Alexandrite frowned, "and why do you need Jirachi?"
"I wish to impress the esteemed High Council of Team Magma," Butler warned her with a frown back, "these are the fossilized remains of Groudon that I once had for the council with an old machine with this piece to make one come alive."
"Wait, what? But that's impossible," Hercules said.
"You're no better than the others," Butler snapped at him.
Hercules began to try to get free.
Penny checked on Absol with a small coo as she sang her mother's favorite song "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes". This seemed to soothe Absol as it was awakening.
"My mother always sings me that song to cheer me up..." Penny warned the Pokemon.
Absol seemed to nuzzle up to Penny.
"The dreams that you wish...will come true~..." Penny hugged Absol as she sang her mother's song.
Absol grinned to her, but soon grew worried as he could hear Jirachi in pain.
"Oh, dear, Jirachi," Penny yelped as she held Absol.
"Now, Jirachi, get me the energy that I need," Butler demanded, "open your true eye and absorb the cosmos's power!"
"No! I don't want to," Jirachi warned him.
"I'm afraid you don't have a choice," Butler smirked, "Dusclops, Psychic!"
Dusclops did his move as Jirachi yelled out in pain and Absol really wanted out of his cage.
Soon Penny brought out the wand that Fairy Godmother gave her for her birthday. "I didn't wanna use this until an absolute emergency, but this might be the case......" she said to herself before waving her wand to try and help, "bibbiti-bobbiti-boo!"
As by magic, the bars of the cage became breakable by any Pokemon attacks.
"Alright, Absol, try it now," Penny warned the Pokemon.
Absol nodded and then broke through the bars and was free. Absol grinned to Penny and bowed its head to her as a fashion of saying thank you. Penny grinned as she held her birthday wand close.
"JIRACHI," Absol called out.
Jirachi seemed to shoot out a beam of light out to the comet.
Meanwhile, May came to awaken everyone else to warn them about what she saw and where Max went to rescue Jirachi. Alexandrite continued to protest while Dusclops took care of Jirachi.
"Will you SHUT UP," Butler frowned at her.
"Don't you warn my sister to shut up," Hercules snapped.
Once the beam hit the comet, soon it went straight back to Jirachi and where as it made contact the blast blew everything apart. Then the others got dressed and rushed over, only to witness was what just happened to the comet. Then they rushed into the tent after they heard explosions and shrieks. Soon Penny got Jirachi away from Butler while holding the Pokemon like a baby.
"Guys, let's get out of here," she warned the others faster as the poor Pokemon nuzzled against her and felt quite hurt.
"What energy," Butler grinned, "now I just have to harness it!"
"You are not touching Jirachi anymore," Penny fronwed at Butler.
"That's right," Max said.
"I'll take care of it....." Butler held out his hand.
"Butler," Diane refused, "it's not no use to stop!"
"Why would I stop now that I've gotten so close," Butler frowned at her, "just have faith in me, Diane! I'm doing it for you!"
"It's not for me, I've never wanted this, and we shouldn't have tricked Hercules and Alexadrite," Diane shook her head.
"I agree," Hercules said.
"Diane," Butler seemed shocked of the blonde woman's response.
"Faster, we better get out of here while we can," Alexandrite said.
"Go, Mightyena," Butler commanded.
Soon Mightyena came out of its Pokeball. Soon Absol came next to Penny. Mowgli gave Penny a list of attacks Absol knew.
"Oh, thank you..." Penny grinned as she went over the list. "Let's see here...um, Absol? Magic Bounce," she tried out.
Absol shook its head as that attack wouldn't work in this situation.
"Oh, not the time, alright, then use Razor Wind," Charity warned the Pokemon before getting confused, "Razor Wind?"
Then Absol did Razor Wing against Mightyena.
"I'm sorry...yet trying to get used to it," Penny grinned hesitantly to the Pokemon who seemed close with her.
Absol grinned understandingly to her and then crossed out the attacks it couldn't use and left four attacks it could. Penny called out the other attacks that weren't crossed off the list which were Quick Attack, Psycho Cut, Double Team and Razor Wind. Butler growled as he was being defeated by an amateur. Absol came over to Penny once it concluded and nuzzled up against the young princess.
Then Penny hugged Absol and gently petted the Pokemon. Soon Penny saw Penny had a Pokeball with her.
"C'mon, Charity, we must get going," the others called out.
"Uh, I'm-a coming," Penny called back before throwing the Pokeball to Absol to see if she could catch him.
Absol allowed the Pokeball to catch it. Penny saw the Pokeball shake only once and soon it clicked shut. Then she picked up the ball and ran with it to catch up with everyone else to make their getaway against Butler.
Max sat while hugging his knees as he didn't let Jirachi leave.
Ash took a seat next to him with Pikachu while Mowgli and Larvitar took the other side. "What's wrong," he asked the younger boy.
"Warn us, Max," Pikachu added.
"I just have a couple of days left with Jirachi," Max sulked as he hugged the Pokemon.
"We understand, saying farewell to a friend can be hard," Mowgli said.
"Jirachi's gonna be with you your entire life, not just a couple of days," Ash grinned.
"You know that's not true, Ash," Max pouted.
"He'll always be with you in your heart," Mowgli said.
"It's especially true if the friends are best best friends," Ash nodded.
Jirachi grinned up to Max to make it where they could be best friends even after it would leave for another thousand years.
"Ash, is there someone you miss," Max asked.
"I miss her every day......" Ash bowed his head mournfully at first, "but I know we'll always be friends forever."
"You mean Misty, right," Mowgli grinned.
"You could say that," Ash grinned back.
"Misty's cool," Pikachu chuckled.
Soon Max grinned back as he understood what Ash meant, but it would yet be a little bit hard.
Soon Mowgli reached into his pocket and took out a necklace made out of shark teeth, which instantly made him think of an old friend as he held it close to his heart. "Ingrid...I do wonder what she's doing right now?"
"I am just fine," Ingrid's voice said.
"Ingrid," Mowgli whispered as he looked around as Max held Jirachi and Penny came to check on him.
"Hey, Max," Penny greeted softly.
"Hi, Penny," Max replied.
Penny sat next to him. "I'm very sorry about what your sister said about counting down the days."
"It's alright, I know she didn't mean to say it out loud," Max said.
Penny grinned as Max was feeling much better now. Max grinned back as he hugged Jirachi.
Sure enough, it was back on the road the next morning and Max looked much better than last night.
"I wonder if Absol will lead us the rest of the road," Penny said.
"I wish of it," Odette soothed.
"There's Farina," Diane warned the others.
"This is amazing," Emi beamed.
"Jirachi's home," Max added.
Soon Absol came over to welcome them.
"Absol..." Penny whispered to the Pokemon with a small grin.
Absol grinned back and soon nuzzled up to her. Penny chuckled as the fur tickled her as she hugged the Pokemon.
Soon Absol lead them into Farina. They explored and looked around the forests on the road, seeing the exotic and wild Pokemon who lived and roamed there.
"This is amazing," Shanti grinned.
Jenny chuckled as she loved most of the Pokemon they met on the road to Jirachi's home as Absol led them.
"This is so cool," Mowgli said.
"We love it," Penny grinned.
"What's not to like, "Ash added in agreement as Pikachu rode on his shoulders as always.
"It's awesome," Pikachu beamed.
Soon they saw a dragon-type Pokemon.
"Woah," Emi blinked before grinning. "Who are you," she asked the Pokemon with a chuckle.
"My name is Flygon," the dragon-type Pokemon warned her.
"Oh, of course," Emi grinned, "nice to meet you, Flygon."
"Are you the Pokemon Princess," Flygon asked, "you understand me better than most humans."
"Indeed so, I am," Emi grinned.
"Of course, you're so pretty," Flygon replied.
"Oh, I'm not that pretty....." Emi chuckled.
"I beg to differ," Mowgli smirked as he came behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
This caused for Emi to shriek before chuckling.
"Hi~" Mowgli chuckled.
Soon Ash caught Mowgli and held him back. "Don't make my sister shriek!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Mowgli said.
Ash growled while Emi shook her head at her brother.
"Wanna go for a ride," Flygon offered Mowgli and Emi.
"Sure," Mowgli and Emi grinned.
Flygon came closer to the two. Mowgli and Emi grinned as they helped each other onto its back. Then Flygon grinned back up to them and soon flew away with them.
"Wahoo," Mowgli and Emi grinned.
"You two seem adorable together," Flygon said to them.
This caused for Mowgli and Emi to blush. Flygon grinned as it gave them the ride of their lives.
Penny sat with Absol after a while.
"Welcome to Farina," Absol warned her.
"It's beautiful," Penny grinned.
"I assure you would love it," Absol grinned back to her.
"And I do so," Penny grinned back.
"What about your new friend Max," Absol asked.
Penny blushed and looked away shyly. "He seems cool...I've never felt this fashion about anyone before though."
"You must be feeling love," Absol said.
"Mother explained to me about how she and and Father danced for the first time at the ball," Penny sighed dreamily before she began to dance like her mother did on the night of the ball before midnight, "she warned me that she knew once they danced that it had to be true love even if he didn't know her name until he found her after meeting several maidens in the village to fit the glass slipper."
"Sounds like a fairy tale come true," Absol grinned.
"You could say that," Penny grinned back before soon she sat down with Absol again.
Later that night, it was time for a campfire and May and Penny made their wishes for the night as they did every night since the comet festivities. Max was playing with Jirachi now.
"Max, it's time to go to sleep," May warned her younger brother.
"I wanna stay up a little longer," Max replied.
"We have a big day tomorrow and you don't wanna be tired for it, do you," May asked.
"Oh, please, May," Eloise asked as Ditto slithered onto her head as always, "the night is yet awake, and I miss a little noise if I go to sleep like pigeons and car horns."
"That's true," Ditto said.
"C'mon, guys, bedtime," May replied.
"It might be nice for you guys," Connie lightly agreed.
"That's right," Messua nodded.
Soon Max grumbled as he took off his glasses and hugged Jirachi as he began to go to sleep before coming back over and frowned at his sister. "If I can sleep knowing this is my last night with Jirachi..." he turned over and hugged the Pokemon again, "just wait, while they're asleep, we'll get to play!"
"Nice idea," Jirachi agreed.
"I think a lullaby should do the trick," Raja said.
"Are you gonna sing Aunt Fluttershy's lullaby," Mowgli asked as he got comfortable between Shanti and Ranjan. Soon she saw what his father meant as May started to sing Max's lullaby as he grinned sleepily. "Oh..."
Raja nodded with a grin. Mowgli grinned before he seemed to fall asleep faster after his siblings. Messua gently tugged on her younger son's bandanna to cover his eyes to help him sleep as she used to do the same fact since she lived in the Junkyard.
"They sure are adorable until they sleep," Messua grinned.
"They really are...." Raja agreed.
Ditto seemed to reach for a "Do Not Disturb" sign like hanging on the knobs of hotel doors and put it around Eloise's neck as soon as he also fell asleep. Penny was now sleeping with Absol as he let her sleep with him or on his fur as a pillow. Even Odette was falling asleep as Mismagius made her comfortable. Ranjan and Jenny seemed to fall asleep close to each other with Vulpix asleep in between them.
It was a pleasant night for everyone that night. Messua fell asleep against her husband's lap as Connie seemed to do the same fact around Atlas. Alexandrite and Bunny were both asleep with face masks and Hercules and Muscles were asleep in a wrestling hold style-fashion.
As the next morning came, everyone needed all their energy as they were going to be walking this time instead of riding in Diane's vehicle and it was almost like a hike. Most of the group didn't seem to mind doing the hike. Eloise seemed to do what she did best during the hike: twirling like a ballerina and skipping along, or as she liked to call it 'skittering along'. Ditto laughed as it was like a ride for him since he sat in Eloise's blonde locks. Alexandrite didn't seem to like hiking.
"Buck up, Alex, exercise is nice for you," Hercules warned his sister.
"How much further," Alexandrite whined.
"Absol says we're almost there," Penny replied as she was closer behind the Pokemon who was attached to her.
"Thank heavens," Alexandrite sighed.
Bunny grinned as she rode on her trainer's back. Alexandrite pouted to her as she walked further.
Soon the other Pokemon were coming out to greet their visitors as Absol led the road with Penny past his side.
"They seem friendly," Penny grinned.
"Hey, check this out," Max said, looking one direction.
More and more wild Pokemon appeared and even the Flygon from earlier.
"They're all here to welcome Jirachi back home," Shanti grinned to the sights.
"That's what they're saying," Emi grinned back.
"Stay safe, Pokemon Princess," Flygon said to Emi and the others on their road.
"We will," Emi curtsied.
Diane turned on a lantern as Absol led them into a dark cavern.
"I can't walk anymore......" Alexandrite moaned as soon as she stopped in her tracks.
Soon Hercules carried his sister the rest of the road. Alexandrite grinned as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
"I remember since it took a while for your mother to get used to jogging in the morning if I moved into her place for the first time," Atlas chuckled, "she did exercise, but she wasn't used to awakening at 6:00."
"But after a while, I got used to it," Connie grinned.
"I forget, was this before or after Rover," Hercules asked his parents.
"After," Atlas replied, "after Rover stayed on the farm, I moved in with Tripod and Cadpig."
"Such a bittersweet ending," Alexandrite commented.
"Indeed so, it was," Connie frowned.
"I bet you missed Rover a lot," Hercules said to his mother.
"You have no idea," Connie sighed softly in memory, "I had to let him go though, he loved Daisy more than he loved me...I'm just glad he had to be a real dog, I've been so busy with work that I never considered training him an entire lot."
"You're a grand woman, Connie," Atlas soothed, "nothing will ever change that."
"Dad's right, Mum," Hercules grinned.
Connie grinned back to her family.
"The spot Jirachi slept for 1,000 years is just ahead," Diane warned the others.
"Sure," Messua said.
"Now this way," Absol said before rushing away further apart than the others.
"Absol, wait up," Penny chased after the Pokemon. Soon the young princess brought out her wand to help her keep up with Absol. She bent it slightly like a glow stick and had it lighting up as she followed after.
Soon the others stopped and looked up to the heavens.
"It's the comet," Eloise pointed out.
This reminded Penny of what to do so.
"The star! It calls me," Jirachi hovered from Max's shoulders.
"Jirachi," Max cried out in despair as he hugged the Pokemon, "I don't want you to go! I'm gonna miss you.....I know you can't really grant wishes, but if you can, then I'll make one for you right now!"
Soon Penny flipped down the final part of the trinket. Soon she closed her eyes with slight tears in her eyes as she made her fifth and final wish. The others were a little mournful for Max since it meant that now Jirachi had to go away for another 1,000 years.
"I wish that you didn't have to go and just stay with me and Penny," Max cried.
"Max...the star...tt calls me..." Jirachi replied.
"Jirachi is getting ready," Diane noted.
"Ready for what," Brock asked.
"Yes, what is Jirachi getting ready for," Messua added.
"Jirachi will open its true eye and absorb energy from the Millennium Comet," Diane informed.
"What have we done next," Ranjan asked.
"What's he do with the energy," Odette asked.
"Where does it go," Mowgli added.
"They say that during 1,000 years, Jirachi sleeps and all the energy he absorbs from the comet is slowly released into the Earth," Diane educated, "everything growing absorbs that energy."
"It does," Shanti asked.
"Well, Jirachi made all of this," Odette asked.
"Oh, wow," Ash chuckled.
Sure enough, something came out of the rock walls and cast an energy blast over Jirachi and seemed to contain him inside.
"JIRACHI," the others cried out in grief for the Pokemon as this seemed worse.
"Don't worry, we'll save you," Mowgli called out as he flew up to Jirachi. He caught hold of the force and was soon pulled up with it to reveal who was doing this and it wasn't much of a surprise.
"What's going on," Odette pouted.
"It's a trap," Diane frowned.
"Butler," Mowgli warned them.
"Showtime," Butler smirked, "and like every grand magician, I saved my best trick for last!"
Soon Mowgli went to set Jirachi free.
"Let Jirachi and Mowgli go," Brock demanded.
"I'll get Jirachi, don't worry, guys," Mowgli called back as he began to free the Pokemon.
"Oh, dear, you don't," Butler frowned before he pressed a button.
"HEY," Mowgli called out.
"Normally magicians end their shows with something obvious, making a Pokemon disappear," Butler smirked evilly, "but since I'm not like most magicians, for tonight's show, I'll be making a Pokemon reappear!"
"You're mad," Diane frowned to her childhood best friend.
After Butler had pressed the button, Mowgli felt a shock. Shanti winced as since she was Mowgli's twin sister, she could feel his pain.
"Not mad," Butler smirked down to Diane, "just frustrated and a wee bit impatient to get on with the show!"
"If she says you're mad, what she meant to say was you're insane," Messua frowned.
"Mum...Dad...Mowgli is hurt," Shanti frowned.
"How can you warn," Emi asked.
"We're twins," Shanti replied, "we can feel each other's pain and sickness."
"That would explain since Mowgli had a cold, you've had a cold as well," Ranjan said.
"Twins have always fascinated me," Raja replied, "anyhow, I can't believe Mowgli is getting hurt until he's so much like me."
"Butler must have used electricity," Messua said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's the moment you've all been waiting for," Butler smirked darkly as he levitated the boy and Pokemon with his wand.
"Oh, dear..." Alexandrite gulped.
"Jirachi," Max and Penny cried out in despair.
"Mowgli," Shanti and Ranjan frowned for their brother.
Soon Butler lowered Jirachi and Mowgli into a machine.
"What has he done with Mowgli," Messua frowned.
"Probably going to drain him of his abilities," Raja frowned as he held his wife protectively.
"Oh, dear..." Messua frowned.
"Well, Jirachi and Mowgli," Butler smirked to the Pokemon and special little boy, "let's do this just like we rehearsed it."
"Let...me...go..." Mowgli frowned weakly.
"Not a chance since you have a powerful power source in you," Butler smirked. Then he pulled down a lever to summon something to come down before Jirachi and Mowgli.
Soon Mowgli tried to look and see what it was. Jirachi's belly seemed to glow and absorb energy from the comet and where soon a beam shot out a laser and was powering up. Mowgli yelled out as he felt himself getting weaker by the moment.
Meanwhile...
"See that," Raticate asked.
"You think I'm blind," Cassidy replied.
"Of course we see it," Butch said.
Soon the beam of light hit the comet and it sent back another blast right down toward Earth. And it hit Jirachi's belly and soon Mowgli shrieked out of pain.
"My baby," Messua cried out in grief.
Butler smirked to this as he turned many other dials, and where the laser was now ready to fire. "Now Team Magma will learn to never have doubted me," he grinned evilly.
"Leave them ALONE," Pikachu snarled as he used Thundershock against the laser.
"Please work, please work, please work," Shanti begged.
Unfortunately, it didn't.
"It's no luck," Brock frowned.
"I'll handle this," Absol rushed over as he came to help as soon as Penny gave him an attack command.
"Faster, Absol, use Razor Wind," Penny commanded.
"Razor Wind," Absol nodded as he used that attack to dismantle the devices.
"Absol," Emi grinned to the returning Pokemon.
"No one traps my trainer and her friends," Absol frowned up at Butler.
"This madness must stop," Flygon agreed as he flew down and helped Absol in his doing before hitting one device with his tail and breathing fire on the other.
"Wahoo," Emi cheered.
Soon Flygon came down in front of them.
"Flygon, you must get us up there if you can," Emi warned the Pokemon.
"Jump on," Flygon replied.
"C'mon, Ash, let's get on and rescue them," Emi said.
"Right," Ash followed his younger sister.
"I'm coming with you," Max came as well while Pikachu helped himself onto Flygon's back.
"Me as well," Penny added.
"Alright, just hang on tight," Ash warned the younger ones.
"You've had it," Penny grinned.
"Time to save Jirachi and Mowgli," Ash grinned back.
"Here we go," Flygon called out as he flapped his wings and flew upward.
"Go, Team," Bunny cheered.
"Be careful..." May whispered in worry of her little brother being involved while Messua did the same for her niece.
Flygon flew the others up in the air as they went to stop Butler for harming Jirachi and Mowgli like this.
"I hope magic can work on machines," Penny said.
"Only one fashion to find out," Max warned her.
Soon Penny brought out her wand and pointed it at the laser. "Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo," she recited as she waved her wand and the magic blast out to the laser, "please work."
Soon the magic hit the laser and after a moment, it seemed to stop.
"Wait, what," Butler growled, "what just happened?!"
"The power of Fairy Godmother," Penny smirked.
"Wahoo," Max grinned.
Soon Jirachi and Mowgli were freed.
"Whew," Mowgli sighed.
"Jirachi," Max and Penny hugged the Pokemon.
"Mowgli," Emi hugged her boyfriend.
"Emi," Mowgli grinned weakly before blushing.
They were about to get them out of there. Absol gestured for the others to follow him.
"Everybody, follow Absol," Penny instructed.
"You heard her," Mowgli said.
The others agreed and followed after Absol. Soon Flygon came back with the others as they got out of the cavern apart from Butler.
"Thank you, Flygon," Ash warned the Pokemon.
"Anything for the Pokemon Princess and her friends and family," Flygon replied before flying away after letting them off.
"Farewell, Butler," Mowgli frowned.
Sure enough, the others ran to the ones who had flown on Flygon.
"We did it," Emi cheered.
"Jirachi," May asked as she came up to her brother.
"He's alright," Max warned his sister.
"Same with you," May knelt down to his height in consolation.
"Yes," Max nodded.
"We're all alright," Penny grinned.
"I was really concerned about you," May sniffled as she hugged Max nice and tight.
"This shows how much of a best sister you are, May," Messua grinned proudly.
"Mrs. Greenwood's right," Max agreed.
May grinned back to Messua. "Thank you, ma'am."
Diane grinned at the sight, but soon looked up to see if Edgar would try anything else. Absol was ready for anything. Bunny and Muscle felt a disturbance as they were close to Alexandrite and Hercules.
"What's wrong, Bunny," Alexandrite asked out of worry.
"I feel something wrong," Bunny pouted.
"Yes, same here," Muscles gulped.
"This can't be nice...." Hercules commented in worry for his and his sister's Pokemon.
A monster appeared to be coming out from the ground.
"W-What's going on," Penny gulped.
"What's that," Ash gasped upon seeing this.
"That must be Groudon, but...it isn't Groudon," Emi shuddered.
"Zeus, I'm afraid," Hera frowned.
Soon Zeus held his wife in consolation. Hera nuzzled up against Zeus. Even Edgar was surprised by this. Hera was so overwhelmed that she fainted in her husband's arms.
"MUM," Hercules and Alexandrite cried out in despair.
"That creature's not Groudon," Edgar said as he rode on the back of a dragon-type Pokemon.
Messua moaned and held her stomach before bowing her head and shutting her eyes. "The trees are all dying......" she said weakly.
"This is bad," Raja said.
"The Earth...it's sucking energy from the Earth," Diane frowned.
Soon Penny ran with Absol to stop the creature from destroying their planet.
"Razor Wind," Penny warned Cody.
Absol nodded before attacking the creature. Unfortunately, that had no impact whatsoever. Soon the creature looked like it was about to breathe fire until it tangled Absol into a trap.
"ABSOL," Penny cried out in grief.
"Let go of me," Absol frowned at the creature.
Penny took out her wand to make the creature let go, only for it to breathe in and eat her magic wand. "Hey! That was a birthday present from Fairy Godmother!"
Soon the creature looked at Penny. Penny looked hesitant, but soon frowned and firmly put her hands on her hips. Soon Edgar saved Penny as the creature almost ate her.
Penny's eyes widened as Edgar actually saved her life. "Th-Thank you, Mr. Butler," she said.
Soon the creature grew spikes which were almost like tendrils as they spread to capture more and more of the Farina Pokemon.
"What's it doing here," Shanti gulped.
"It's feeding on these poor Pokemon," Mowgli cried out in despair.
"It looks like Godzilla," Jenny commented as she clung onto Ranjan.
"What have we done," Alexandrite asked.
"Edgar, please warn me you have a plan to stop this," Diane begged her friend.
"No, I don't," Edgar shook his head, "I have nothing up my sleeve. No tricks left."
"What," Penny yelped.
With Team Rocket....
"Perhaps now's not a best time," Butch moaned.
"Ya think," Raticate asked, unimpressed.
"Let's get out of here," Cassidy suggested as a flock of bird-like fashion flew off to get away from the monster.
"I agree," Butch nodded.
However, but before they could go, the creature seemed to trap them and they had worse luck than Jessie, James and Meowth as they were yet on Team Rocket.
Soon Emi felt pain as Raticate was absorbed.
"Emi," Ash looked worried about his sister, "Emi, are you alright?"
"I-I feel pain until a Pokemon is absorbed," Emi moaned in pain.
"That's not nice," Ash frowned.
"It's like me with the trees......" Messua frowned herself, "this is horrible."
"Why is this creature absorbing Pokemon and draining the life force from the trees," Ranjan asked.
"This wasn't supposed to happen," Edgar frowned, "that's not Groudon, it's evil, it's pure evil!"
"But how," Shanti asked.
Soon the creature lunged out to take Edgar with the Pokemon and Team Rocket, only for Diane to sacrifice herself.
"Oh, dear," Alexandrite frowned, "Diane!"
"DIANE," Butler held the blonde woman's hand.
Diane yelped as she was about to be swallowed. "My darling," she spoke to Edgar, "this is the end and I'm glad the last fact I see is you..."
Edgar tried to keep his grip onto Diane. Soon Diane let go as she was swallowed alive by the creature.
Edgar looked very emotionally crushed and disheartened to had lost his best friend, who growled in frustration before shouting out an enraged "DIANE!!!"
This yell was so loud that it echoed across the kingdom. "We need to do something," Atlas said.
"We better think of something fast," Brock yelped.
"It wants us now as well," Eloise pointed out.
"Raja, I think now is a best time for you to stop this fact," Messua warned her husband.
Raja cracked his knuckles. "Let me see what I can do so."
"Go, Mowgli's father," Odette cheered as Mismagius hiked up behind her.
Soon Raja went giant/heavenly size to take on the creature. The creature frowned at Raja and snarled.
"Ah, 'grrraaawr' yourself," Raja scoffed.
Soon Raja used his magic to teleport everyone/everything the creature had absorbed before taking it up into space.
"Where'd they go," Jenny asked as she stood with Ranjan.
Soon Diane, Absol and Team Rocket appeared on the ground.
Raja frowned at the creature as they were in space together. Then the creature began to try to swallow him like he did with the others, but he was too big for the creature to swallow.
Raja dodged any attack. "Alright, now it's my turn," he frowned furiously as he summoned his best and strongest abilities against the creature and where one of them was lightning/thunder bolts.
The creature growled, every time he seemed hit, it seemed to free certain Pokemon. Raja smirked at this and decided to keep going to help save the Pokemon back into Farina. Soon the creature tried to tangle its tentacles around him. Raja dodged them and came up behind the creature and struck him with another bolt from behind and it caused the creature to cry out in grand agony.
"Oh, I'm sorry, did I shock you," Raja teased.
Soon the creature roared as it tried to catch him with its tentacles once more. Raja only dodged and he began to use some Super Sayian fighting moves that Goku taught him. Soon he used the Kamehameha to destroy it. The creature yelled out as soon as he was destroyed and the Pokemon were flying through space. Raja swiftly dove in to save them and bring them all back down to Earth.
Once he got back to Earth, Raja bent down and placed them back on the ground.
"Thanks, Dad," Mowgli and Shanti beamed.
"No problem," Raja grinned back to them. Soon he shrunk back down to human/mortal size.
Soon the family hugged Raja in thanks. Emi looked much better since the Pokemon were all saved.
"That is one cool ability you have there, Raja," Atlas snickered.
"Thanks, Atlas," Raja grinned.
"Look, it's like falling stars," Eloise pointed out to the sparks left behind from the creature's defeat in outer-space, hearing the frustrated butler shout his name.
"It sure does so," Messua said.
"Here's what I like; making wishes," Eloise said, seemingly to no one before soon she closed her eyes and made a wish.
Then Edgar ran to Diane as she reappeared. Soon Diane hugged him.
"Diane," Edgar grinned.
"Oh, Edgar," Diane grinned back.
Aw, love, Shanti thought to herself.
"Emi, you're alright," Mowgli grinned to the girl of his dreams.
Emi ran to him and gave him a hug that almost looked like one between Ruby and Sapphire. Soon Mowgli hugged her right back.
"They kinda look like Ruby and Sapphire since they hug," Messua grinned to Raja as he changed back to normal size.
"They sure do so," Raja said.
Soon the heavens glowed bright and white as something seemed to be coming down. The others gathered around, only to see that it was Jirachi.
"Cool," Ranjan grinned.
"Jirachi," Max and Penny beamed to the Pokemon, "you're alive!"
Then they all shared a hug with each other.
"Thank heavens," Penny said before her wand appeared in her right hand. "My wand! It's back," she beamed before hugging it.
"Does it yet work," Max asked.
Penny turned to Absol and waved her wand to see if it would work. "Bibbiti-Bobbiti-Boo!"
Then Absol blinked before he turned into a mouse like Gus or Jaq.
"Yes, it works," Penny grinned. Then she used the magic to turn Absol back to normal.
"Don't do that again," Absol said, which made Penny chuckle.
"I'm sorry, all out, I couldn't help it," Penny chuckled.
Absol rolled his eyes slightly, but grinned to Penny as he felt like they were going to get along just fine.
"We did it," Jirachi cheered.
"We sure did so," Max grinned.
"Jirachi, you're the best," Penny added.
"No, guys, you're the best," Jirachi replied, "I make lots of wishes and you made it all come true!"
"Yes," Shanti nodded.
"He's right," Ash added, "you made his wishes come true."
"Yes," the others agreed to this.
Absol nodded in agreement.
"Now, Max and Penny, will you grant me one final wish," Jirachi asked.
"Anything," Penny said.
"One final wish," Max asked the Pokemon.
"I'm feeling so sleepy," Jirachi grinned softly back, "I wish you guys would sing that song for me."
"A song," Penny asked before knowing what song Jirachi meant.
"The song, guys, that's the lullaby," Ash reminded the younger ones.
"Right," Penny nodded.
"I'll grant your wish," May warned the Pokemon.
"That would make me happy," Jirachi grinned.
Soon everyone sang the lullaby. Odette did her best as she was a lot like Fluttershy until it came to preforming in public and where the singing worked for everybody. Edgar held Diane in his arm as they watched this.
"Thank you, everyone," Jirachi grinned before bundling up to go to sleep for another 1,000 years. "I couldn't have wished for anything better," he went into a new cocoon.
Max whined as tears came into his eyes. "FAREWELL!!"
Soon Jirachi was in the Earth until the next 1,000 years. Penny and Max held each other as this was very mournful for them and they didn't blush this time. Sure enough, the forest seemed to glow and Messua began to feel better herself.
"I feel much better." Messua said.
"Mum," Mowgli, Shanti and Ranjan beamed and hugged their mother.
Messua laughed back and hugged her children.
The next day came sooner than they expected.
"Well, are you children going back to work or coming home," Atlas asked.
"I wanna go home," Alexandrite decided as she held Bunny in her arms.
"I'm coming home as well," Hercules decided as he was in a bear hug hold by a Muscles as they were wrestling.
Connie and Atlas grinned to their children as they decided to come home this time. Soon Hercules groaned as he got free from Muscles' grip. Atlas chuckled to his son. Muscles laughed as he followed Hercules to Atlas's car, which had a flat tire.
"Uh, Daddy," Alexandrite tugged on Atlas's shirt and pointed to the flat tire.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS," Atlas moaned. Soon he saw that a sharp rock had burst it.
"All right, no harm done..." he said before cracking the hood of the car for the tire pump, "Connie, where's the pump?"
"I thought you said you put it in the trunk," Connie replied.
"I thought you put it in the trunk," Atlas said.
Soon the couple face-palmed each other. Mowgli came to the tire, but he took a deep breath and blew into it like Stitch once did for the Ridiculous Earth Vehicle.
"Nice," Atlas said.
Mowgli kept blowing until the tire was round and then he let go and patched up the tire. "Tire pressure," he called in a squeaky high voice before blowing the air back out and his voice went back to normal, "check!"
"Thanks," Atlas grinned.
"No problem, Uncle Atlas," Mowgli grinned back.
Soon Atlas, Connie, Alexandrite, Bunny, Hercules and Muscles got into the vehicle. Then everyone waved a farewell to them as they waved back as they were on the way back home.
"Well, we better get back home," Messua said.
"Alright, Mum," Ranjan grinned.
Soon Sid appeared before them with a grin back. "Mind if I help?"
"Sid," Mowgli beamed.
"Aw, shoot," Sid ran to avoid a tackle by the boy. Unfortunately for him, Mowgli successfully tackled him. Sid moaned as he was now on the ground and Mowgli smirked as he sat on his back. "Oh, c'mon," the warlock complained.
"Hi, Sid," Mowgli grinned as he sat on the warlock's back.
"Hello, Mowgli," Sid rolled his eyes, "it's nice to see you as well."
Mowgli chuckled as he got off of Sid's back. Soon Sid stood up and dusted himself clean.
"Hey, Sid," Raja snickered.
"Hey, Raja," Sid replied, "are you all ready to go home? I trust you enjoyed the comet."
"We sure did so," Messua nodded.
"All right, allow me to take you all home," Sid took out his wand.
"Alright then," Ranjan said.
Sid warned them to gather around and he took every one of them home. Mowgli blew a kiss to Emi and soon she caught it and put it to her heart before she did the same and he caught it like a baseball. Max and Penny both looked mournful that she and Absol were leaving.
"I won't forget about you, Penny," Max called out to the young princess, "you and Jirachi will always be in my heart!"
"And you and Jirachi will always be in my heart! And I-I-I love you," Penny confessed.
Max turned bright red. "I love you as well!"
"Aw," May grinned.
Max grinned and Penny grinned back until she was sent off with the others.
"My little brother has his own girlfriend," May grinned as she hugged Max.
"Aw, May," Max blushed hesitantly while the others chuckled.
Soon May realized something she didn't do last night.
"Are you alright, May," Emi asked.
Soon May brought out her trinket.
"You never made your wish," Emi asked.
"I...I don't think I did....." May replied.
"Too bad," Emi frowned.
Back with the others, Sid brought them back to where they once were. Sid held Eloise's hand as they were in front of the Plaza Hotel and there appeared to be a pink banner that said "Welcome Home, Eloise".
"What's this for," Eloise grinned.
"Guess they knew you'd be coming," Sid shrugged as he came into the hotel with Eloise.
Miss Thompson grinned as she welcomed Eloise back as she came into the lobby.
"Is Nanny here, Miss Thompson," Eloise asked.
"No, I'm afraid she won't be back until tomorrow evening," Miss Thompson replied apologetically, "I wish this gentleman won't mind watching you until then."
Sid's left eye twitched. "Watching...her," he heard someone trying not to laugh. He frowned back while Eloise seemed emotional and innocent as always.
"Just joking, this man will really be watching over Eloise," Miss Thompson said before showing Tech in his human disguise.
Sid folded his arms and eyed the woman. "You will PAY FOR THIS!!!"
"Alright, thanks, buddy, I'll take it from here," Tech grinned in amusement as he pushed the warlock out the double doors as Charlie tipped his hat.
Eloise was happy about this.
"Hey, El, ready to go back to your room," Tech grinned.
"You bet," Eloise replied as she took her room key.
Then they both went up the elevator with Max up to the sixteenth floor and almost everyone welcomed Eloise back into the hotel as she was on her road to her room.
As they came back into the room, the bathroom was flooded with pigeons and somehow, the bathroom window was left open before she had left.
"Riley is allergic to the humidity," Eloise warned Tech about her pigeon friend, "I thought she could enjoy the air conditioning while I went with my cousins and Nanny went to visit her brother."
"Looks like some friends of hers joined her," Tech said.
Soon Eloise knelt in her arm chair as she picked up the phone and ordered Room Service. "Hello, Rene, it's me, Eloise..."
Tech sighed and shook his head to the girl with a small grin.
Soon Raja and Messua came home with Mowgli, Shanti, Ranjan, Odette and Jenny.
"That was grand," Shanti said.
"I'll call your mother, Odette," Messua decided.
"Thank you all," Odette nodded to her.
"Thanks for inviting me," Jenny grinned to the jungle siblings.
"You're welcome, Jenny," the jungle siblings grinned back.
Jenny grinned back and hugged them all. Ranjan's eyes widened until he blubbered in the hug since he had a strong love for her.
