Chapter 97: Jirachi's Wishing Star End

----

"Gary, what happened here?"

Just as Gary took out his mobile phone and was about to call Steven's contact number, a familiar questioning voice came from behind him.

After hearing this question, Gary and Diane turned around and saw Ash, May, and Brock appearing behind them.

"And Mr. Butler, what happened? Why are you controlled?"

May rubbed her eyes, as if she saw something incredible.

She found it hard to believe that Butler, who had always taken good care of them, was now controlled by Gary's Shiny Metagross.

"Ash, May, and Brock, why are you here?"

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

"We woke up because we heard the noise outside."

Faced with Gary's question, the steady Brock immediately explained.

"This is not the time to talk about this, Gary, what exactly happened?"

Ash was still curious about what was happening in front of him, so he asked.

"Ash, Gary wanted to take advantage of your inattention and secretly subdue Jirachi. I was controlled by him because I stopped him."

Before Gary could answer, the controlled Butler began to distort the facts and blame Gary for stealing Jirachi.

"Hurry up and defeat Gary and rescue Jirachi!"

After hearing Butler's words, Ash was stunned. After seeing Jirachi sleeping in Gary's arms, he subconsciously looked at Gary.

"Is this true, Gary?"

Gary felt a headache for Ash's brainless question.

At the same time, he felt helpless about Ash's reaction, so he rolled his eyes at Ash and said, "Do you think I am such a person?"

"No."

Ash answered subconsciously.

"That's it."

Gary spread his hands and said.

"Gary, what happened?"

Brock trusted Gary more than Butler, whom he had known for a long time, so he asked Gary.

"Yes, why did Jirachi appear in your arms?"

May also looked at Gary.

"And Mr. Butler and Miss Diane, why are they here too?"

Ash followed closely and asked what he was concerned about.

"This is what happened..."

In the following time, Gary told Ash and the others about the whole story.

"Is this true, Miss Diane?"

After listening to these unbelievable stories, Ash immediately looked at Diane, who was still sad.

Although Diane hoped that this was not true, the fact was true, so she nodded and responded to Ash and the others.

"How could this happen?"

Ash found it hard to believe that Butler, who had always taken good care of them, had been planning to take Jirachi.

"Yes, that's it."

After Butler saw that his idea had not succeeded, he did not continue to hide it, but nodded and admitted it.

"But I've always been curious, Gary, how did you find out about this?"

This is something Butler still can't figure out, after all, his plan can be said to be very perfect.

"I have always noticed your eager eyes for Jirachi."

This is the reason Gary gave Butler and Ash.

"I see."

Hearing that he came here, Butler also understood.

"So what should we do with Mr. Butler now?"

Ash felt very sad about Butler's plan to take Jirachi, but still asked Gary for a solution.

"Of course, hand it over to the alliance and then spend the rest of his life in prison!"

This was something Gary had decided long ago, so Gary spread his hands and said.

"Okay."

"You're planning to kill Jirachi. It's a good deal for him to be dealt with this way."

Ash, May, and Brock all had no objection to this.

Later, Gary contacted Steven, who was already asleep.

He was originally complaining about Gary disturbing him late at night, but after hearing what Gary said, Steven immediately woke up.

Later, because it was about the matter of the mythical Pokémon Jirachi, Steven rushed to Gary with a large number of guards and arrested Butler directly.

As for Diane, because she had not done anything illegal and had not stopped Butler, Steven only gave a warning and did not pursue it.

After arresting Butler, the scientist of Team Magma, Steven hurriedly led people away in order to learn more about Team Magma.

...Dividing line...

"Hey, this happened last night?"

Time soon came to the next day. Rosa, Hilda, and Max, who slept until dawn, showed unbelievable expressions after hearing from Gary about Butler's attempt to capture Jirachi.

"Although it is hard to believe, it is the fact."

Ash also said to the three people in front of him with a helpless tone.

"Okay, as long as Jirachi is fine."

After a long time, Rosa and the other two finally believed this.

When they saw Jirachi still playing in the air with full energy, they gradually let go of their worries.

"What should we do next?"

Since the mastermind Butler has been arrested, Gary still needs to decide the plan, so Ash turned his attention to Gary.

"Let's escort Jirachi to where it sleeps with Absol."

Gary thought for a while and continued.

"But...but I can't bear to leave Jirachi!"

Max found it hard to accept this result.

"But, with your strength, it's hard to protect Jirachi's safety."

With Ash and his strength now, they can't protect Jirachi well.

"Max, for Jirachi's safety, we can only do this."

As a sister, May saw Max who couldn't accept it, so she had to persuade him.

"I understand."

Although Max was very reluctant, for Jirachi's safety, he decided to send Jirachi back to where it originally slept.

"Jirachi can't bear to leave everyone either, I will remember everyone!"

Although Jirachi was also reluctant to leave Gary and others, considering his responsibilities, he agreed.

In the following days, Gary, Ash, and others also embarked on the journey to send Jirachi back.

On the last day of the seven days of the Millennium Comet, Gary and his companions sent Jirachi back to its sleeping place.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of Gary and his companions, Jirachi injected the energy gathered over a thousand years into the land of the Forina region, and then, accompanied by May's lullaby, he fell asleep, turned into a sleeping cocoon, and sank into the underground of Forina.

And the next time Jirachi wakes up, it may be a thousand years later.
