Chapter 90: Jirachi's Wishing Star

---

"Which one is the Millennium Comet?"

In a dark wilderness, Ash, May, Brock, and Max were moving forward on a hill.

May, who was in the middle of the group, stopped and looked at the sky, placing her hands on her hips and speaking weakly.

"The comet can only be seen after tomorrow, sis."

Max, who was at the end of the group, passed his sister May at this time and said in a rather helpless tone.

"What's going on?"

Hearing that the Millennium Comet could not be seen until tomorrow, May couldn't help but complain.

But when she saw Ash and the others who had already walked far ahead, she stopped complaining and immediately chased after them.

Ash, who was walking at the front of the group, looked around the surrounding environment and asked Brock, who was reading the travel brochure: "Brock, where is the celebration?"

Ash had been looking forward to the celebration held here for a long time, but at this time he didn't see any activity, so he was a little anxious.

"I think it should be here soon."

Brock, who had finished reading the travel brochure, gave Ash an answer.

"Okay, I must run first,"

After hearing Brock's words, Ash immediately became energetic, so he took the lead, surpassed Brock in one breath, and ran at the front of the group: "Let's go, Pikachu!"

"Wait for us!"

Seeing Ash who had already started running, May and Max were unwilling to admit defeat, so they immediately took steps and caught up with Ash.

"Hey, don't leave me behind!"

After seeing Ash and the others running, Brock also hurriedly chased after them.

When Ash ran to the top of the hill, what appeared in front of him was just an empty space. There was no celebration, only the whistling sound of the wind blowing through the empty space.

After seeing this scene, Ash, May, Brock, and Max, who were chasing behind him, all showed a lost expression.

"There's nothing."

May looked at the empty space in front of her and showed a disappointed expression. After all, she had been looking forward to it for a long time.

"Is it really here?"

Max also doubted it.

"It can't be wrong!"

Brock carefully looked at the travel manual in his hand and confirmed that he was not wrong, so he felt strange: "It's really strange!"

"What? I have been walking for so long, but I still haven't seen the shadow of the celebration."

For May, who has been walking for a long time, such a result is a huge blow, so she is very reluctant to accept it.

"Don't be so discouraged, May."

Just when May's complaint had just fallen, a chuckle came from behind.

This familiar and clear voice in the silent night immediately attracted the attention of Ash and the others.

"Gary!"

Ash turned around and saw the familiar Gary smiling and waving at him, and Ash immediately shouted in surprise.

"Pikachu!"

Even Pikachu shouted with joy.

"Gary, Rosa, and Hilda!"

May, Brock, and Max followed Ash and shouted happily after seeing the figures of Gary and the others.

"Long time no see, everyone."

Rosa and Hilda were also happy to see Ash and his group here.

"Gary, why are you here?"

Ash was surprised by the arrival of Gary and the others.

"Are you also here to see the Millennium Comet and participate in the celebration?"

"Do you think there is anything else here that can attract this young master besides these?"

Faced with Ash's question, Gary spread his hands and said.

"But there is no celebration here at all."

After hearing this, May still looked back at the empty space behind her, revealing a feeling of loss.

"That's because we all came early, and the time has not come yet."

Hilda also saw the disappointment in May's eyes, so she smiled and explained to her.

"Is that so?"

Hearing that it was because the time had not come, May, who was originally a little depressed, immediately brightened up and looked at Gary and the others with a curious look.

"Of course."

Gary was very sure of this: "Didn't you see the time clearly?"

After Gary finished speaking, Ash and the others immediately cast their doubtful eyes on Brock, who was holding the travel brochure.

"This..."

After flipping through the travel brochure, Brock really found that he had missed the time of the event, so he showed an embarrassed expression: "It seems that I really missed it."

"Brock, you really scared me."

May still complained about Brock's negligence.

"I'm so sorry."

For the mistake he made, Brock still expressed his apologies to Ash and the others.

"Forget it, it's nothing."

Ash and May just complained and didn't blame him.

However, just after Ash and the others expressed their forgiveness of Brock, a gurgling sound suddenly appeared, which was particularly clear in the originally silent night.

"What is this?"

Although everyone heard that the sound was the sound of hunger, they didn't know who made it, and could only look at each other.

"I'm hungry."

But Ash and May raised their hands, indicating that they were the ones who made the sound just now.

"I'm hungry too."

Max followed closely and told about his stomach.

"Me too, Gary!"

Rosa and Hilda were also a little hungry.

After walking for a long time, Gary, Ash, and the others all felt hungry.

"Then I'll cook."

Seeing this, Brock took the initiative to stand up and prepare to cook.

"Then let's help."

Seeing this, Gary, Rosa, and Hilda also took the initiative to stand up to help.

"Let's come too!"

Ash, May, and others also echoed.

With the efforts of Gary and others, everyone tasted delicious and warm food in this dark night.

"Okay, now there is still a long time before the celebration begins, let's take a rest first."

As the saying goes, fullness leads to sleep. After eating and drinking, Gary felt sleepy, so he made a suggestion.

"Okay."

Gary's suggestion immediately attracted the approval of Ash, Rosa, and others.

So after quickly washing the dishes, they camped on the spot and rested on this hill.

After resting for nearly a few hours, a strange movement attracted the attention of Pikachu, who had not yet fallen asleep.
