Chapter 465 Jirachi’s Choice

 Jirachi has been unable to make a decision.

In the past, it had been sleeping in the crystal, and could only wake up for seven days every thousand years.

 For this reason, Jirachi has never been anywhere since his birth.

During these two days, Meng Meng and Baby Bear introduced many novel things to it.

 The heroic expedition team, the delicious Baofen, the lively World Tree, the beautiful natural scenery...

Jirachi was very envious when he heard it. He was full of longing for that kind of life, and he wanted to experience it personally just like dreaming about them.

but…

 The land of Farnes cannot be separated from it. The Pokémon and every flower there need its power.

Without it, all the flowers and grass there would wither, and all the Pokémon living there would starve and lose their homes.

Jirachi doesn't want to see this happen.

Thinking of this, it has already made a decision in its heart.

Jirachi looked at Xiaoyao and replied firmly: "Jirachi will return to Farnes Land to absorb the energy of the stars and help the Pokémon and nature in Farnes Land!"

Hearing this, Xiaoyao opened his mouth.

“But then you won’t be able to visit other places?”

However, Xiaozhi suddenly thought of a good idea.

“Jirachi just needs to return to the Farnes area when the Millennium Comet arrives and use the energy from the stars to nurture the flowers and plants there, and then he can go out and play freely at other times!” he said.

 However, Jirachi shook his head and replied in a childish voice:

"No, [nurturing] cannot be completed all at once. The earth cannot bear it. The energy must be slowly transferred from Jirachi's body to the earth."

 Hearing this, Xiaozhi had no choice.

 For a time, everyone felt a little depressed.

Zhi Shu looked at this scene. He was about to speak, but suddenly he saw Absol, who was guarding Jiraqi, standing up silently and walking to Jiraqi.

 "Absol?" Jirachi looked at it blankly.

Absol's voice was low: "Ouch." (It's okay, don't worry, everyone can take care of themselves, Jirachi can just feel free to do what he wants to do.)

Jirachi was slightly startled.

 “Absolu…”

 Ash Xiaozhi didn’t understand Absol’s words.

 “What is Absolu talking about?” Xiaoyao was puzzled.

Naoki didn’t understand either. He took out his Rotom phone, and the Rotom inside automatically translated Absol’s words.

 "Absol is letting Jirachi do what he likes..." Xiaozhi murmured.

 But Jirachi had many concerns in his heart.

 It has always worried about everyone in Farnes.

Every flower and grass there was nurtured by it itself.

 Over the years, everyone has become accustomed to it.

 If it leaves suddenly...

　　　　　　　　　　　　一　　

  “miu…”

 Baby Bear and Dreamy also felt very sad.

 Zhi Shu looked at the Absol, thinking that it fit the name of a guardian.

 Since this is the case, then he should come to help them.

Thinking of this, Naoki said: "I have a way for Jirachi to take care of the land of Farnes without absorbing the energy of the stars."

As soon as he said this, everyone and Pokémon around him looked at him.

 Zhishu asked them to wait here while he returned home and found the leaf given to him by the World Tree.

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

 He returned to the crowd with the leaves.

Xiao Zhi and others' eyes immediately turned to the huge leaf that exuded a bright green light.

"That is…"

 “It’s glowing!”

“One?” Baby Bear and Meng Meng felt a familiar breath from this leaf.

"This is a treasure I got by chance before. It can release natural energy, nourish the nearby land, and make the surrounding plants grow more lush."

"If you place it in Farnes, it can replace Jirachi's role. In this way, Jirachi can travel freely." Naoki said slowly.

 “How amazing!” Xiao Sheng said.

"Such a precious thing, if it is not there, will it have any bad impact on your ranch, Mr. Naoki?" Xiaogang asked after thinking calmly for a moment.

Hearing this, Xiaozhi, Jirachi and the others also looked at Naoki.

Naoki smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, it won't happen. The land in this pasture is already very fertile. Moreover, I am a professional farmer. Even if I don't have this leaf, I can still make it with my own strength." The land became fertile."

 Such as plowing the land, fertilizing, proper planting, etc.

 As he spoke, he handed the Leaf of Life to Absolu.

 “Take it!”

Absolu felt a moment of astonishment.

Jirachi looked at the leaves with a puzzled expression on his face. Like a simple child, Jirachi expressed his doubts:

“Why did Naoki give Jirachi such a precious treasure?”

Naoki smiled and replied: "Because this way Jirachi doesn't have to sleep all the time." Jirachi was startled slightly, feeling a strong kindness from the human in front of him.

 “Naoki…” Jirachi called out softly.

 “Hmm?” Naoki looked at it.

Jirachi happily flew into Naoki's arms, his tone full of gratitude: "Thank you, Naoki is the best!"

 Zhi Shu smiled.

 He stroked Jirachi's soft body with his hands.

Xiaoyao on the side looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "This is really great!"

Xiao Zhi also nodded. He was sincerely happy for Jirachi: "Well, in this case, Jirachi will no longer have to worry about the Farnes area."

The summer night wind blew slowly, and the stars in the night sky twinkled.

 Everyone and Jirachi spent a pleasant night in the ranch.

 The next morning, Xiaozhi and others were ready to leave.

 Because their trip in the Hoenn region is not over yet, they still need to challenge the gym, collect badges, and then participate in the Caiyou Tournament.

Moreover, they also want to work with Jirachi to return the leaf to the Farnes area.

 Hearing this, Naoki was not surprised.

 Before leaving, Naoki brought the hyperape to Xiaozhi.

 He looked at the animal, then looked at Xiaozhi, and said to it:

“Thanks to you for comforting the ape in the past two days, this child likes you very much, and it is also longing for life outside, but I have no way to leave the ranch. Can you take it to see the outside world?”

Hearing this, Xiaozhi was slightly startled.

 Xiaogang understood what Naoki meant: "Does this hyperactive ape want to be Xiaozhi's Pokémon?"

 Hyperkinetic ape hammered his chest with his fist with enthusiasm.

"I understand." A smile appeared on Xiaozhi's face: "In that case, then Pikachu, the decision is yours!"

 A battle to conquer is about to begin!

 Xiaogang and Xiaoyao stayed here to watch.

Jiraqi floated in front of Naoshu and asked, "Will Jiraqi see Naoshu again in the future?"

"Of course, you can see me anytime you want." Naoki nodded lightly.

Jirachi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Great!"

　　It has been decided that when the leaf is returned to Farnes, it will come to live on the World Tree with the Dream Bears and the others!

Zhishu looked at the heroes expedition team aside, nodded to them, and praised:

 “Well done, you have done a great job with this commission.”

  “miu～”

 Meng Meng and Baby Bear immediately became embarrassed.

“And Zapdos, I’ve heard about your heroic performance in that battle, you are very powerful!” Naoki praised him without hesitation.

Hearing this, a suspicious blush appeared on Lightning Bird's cheeks.

It turned its head proudly: "Chirp!"

 At this time, Xiaozhi's battle has come to an end.

　　He put the hyperkinetic ape into the elf ball and said excitedly: "I have conquered the hyperkinetic ape!"

 “Then, goodbye, Xiaozhi.” Naoki said to Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi nodded vigorously: "Well, goodbye, Mr. Naoki, one day in the future, Pikachu and I will definitely come to the Padia region to travel, and then we will definitely greet you and Guluton again. issue a challenge!"

 Zhi Shu said with a smile: "I'm looking forward to that day, so until then, I wish you a smooth trip."

"goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

With the goal of becoming Pokémon masters, Xiaozhi and his team left Zhishu Ranch and continued their journey of collecting gym badges. What will be waiting for them in the future?

 The figures of Xiaozhi and others gradually faded away.

 In a place in the grass, Musashi, Kojiro and Meowth looked in that direction.

 “Little Guitou and the others have left!” Kojiro murmured.

“Then what should we do now, Meow?” Meow asked.

 The owner of the shop where they worked yesterday realized that he had misunderstood them when he saw the snacks coming back.

The boss not only exempted them from work, but also gave them a sum of money to help them return home after learning that their "boat" was destroyed and they were unfortunately living in this place to work.

“Nonsense, of course I will continue to catch the little Pikachu!” Musashi said without hesitation.

Those Kuailongs are not something they can handle, and the guy who can make so many Kuailongs deliver goods must be a big shot, and they are not someone they can afford to offend.

  Comparatively, the plan to capture Pikachu is easier.

More importantly, it would be terrible if they provoke Team Rocket and Boss Sakaki to some unprovoked guys.

In addition, Team Rocket currently has no plans to set foot in the Padia region, so they should go to the Hoenn region to help Boss Sakaki investigate Team Lava and Team Ocean there, and capture Pikachu by the way.

“In that case, what are you waiting for? Let’s go now!”

  Kojiro seemed to have seen a white tomorrow waiting for them.

 Suddenly, a white light flashed, and a Goran ran out of the elf ball.

 “Say!”
