Hello readers! I'm sorry if you read my other two stories, I wrote those back when I had reading material that went with them. I gave up on them when I stopped reading both because I had no inspiration. So, since I wanted to write something I figured I'd choose something I'd always have motivation for, Pokémon.

I had permission from my friends to use their names in this fan-fiction, which is probably only going to be read by them...but who cares.

Disclaimer: Pokémon is not mine, nor do I claim it to be. There isn't an okapi Pokémon yet, I think that's proof enough. None of the characters are mine either because so far (other than the mention of Oak) they are real people.


"I'll take six!" Alicia said excitedly starting up her Game Boy DS.

"Same here," Samantha said, though less obvious than Alicia it was obvious she was excited.

I had invited my friends over that night to play Pokémon together and I was giving away Eevees. For some people it would be strange to just give away Eevees, everyone wanted at least seven of them to complete their Pokédex, and they were rather rare. Unlike my other friends I was collecting female Pokémon only, whenever possible, so it would make my life as a "Pokémon breeder" easier.

"Need any more Dana?" I asked, eager to get rid of the sixteen other male Eevees cluttering the PC boxes on my Pokémon HeartGold.

"Nah," she dismissed, "I can just trade over my Eeveelutions that I evolved from the Eevees you gave me last week."

"Still have six left for me?" Ashley asked, showing up late as usual.

"Of course, and six for Paula if she ends up playing," I replied.

It was normal for us six to get together over the weekend to do Pokémon related activities, though it was hardly usual for us to be sitting out on the lawn in someone's backyard while doing this. That's what we were doing though; I had suggested it because a change in scenery once in a while is nice, and it wasn't a bad night to be outside either.

Paula looked up at the sky, "You know, it might not be wise for us to be out here tonight, it looks like a full moon," she commented, "They say that strange things happen during full moons."

"Well they've got that right," Dana said jokingly, "It certainly isn't normal for six teenagers to be playing Pokémon outside at night."

That got a chuckle out of all of us.

"Hey!" exclaimed Alicia, "A shooting star! Everyone make a wish."

"You know wishing on a shooting star does nothing," Samantha said, turning her gaze upward to watch the "star" careen across the star.

"Of course we know that," Ashley said, doing the same as Samantha, "But I like to hope it does something."

All six of us watched the "star" shoot across the sky. While I had never believed in things like wishing on shooting stars, or when you blow out candles on a birthday cake, for some reason I was compelled to wish. I figured it was because I assumed the other five were doing the same, or maybe it was the full moon, but I'm glad some kind of force made me wish on this particular star.

'I wish Pokémon were real,' I thought wistfully. I knew it was an impossible dream, but I figured most dreams were.

"What did you guys wish for?" Dana asked as the "star" continued to make its way toward the horizon.

"We can't tell you!" Ashley said, almost sounding offended.

Though we had all finished our wishing we continued to watch the "star" as it disappeared over the horizon.

The ground shook, Alicia screamed, "Earthquake!"

While it certainly was surprising it was easy to determine it wasn't an earthquake, it wasn't anywhere near long enough.

Paula voiced my thoughts, "I don't think it was an earthquake Alicia."

"Maybe it was a solar flare that burst out from the Sun that was hot enough to partially melt the core of the Earth, causing the mantle to heat up, thus melting part of the surface of the Earth, causing the Earth to crack."

"Or maybe the shooting star was a meteorite which landed close by," Samantha commented shooting Ashley a quizzical look.

"That's probably more likely, but I like my idea better," Ashley replied.

"I think we should go look for it," Dana declared, "since Samantha thinks it's close by."

That's just what we did, all six of us decided it would be a good idea to go and search for a meteorite in the middle of the night, in a field that coyotes are often found in.

It wasn't hard to find where the meteorite had landed; there was a rather large impact spot large enough for all six of us to stand around comfortably. What was hard to find was the meteorite. We had all imagined something that made such an impact would be large, but just looking down from the lip of the small crater we couldn't see anything but dirt.

We stood there in amazement. What invisible force could have made the impact spot we were standing around?

That's when a star with a body appeared in front of my face.

I quickly stepped backward and let out a small squeak of a scream. 'It can't be,' I thought while gaping at the floating decagonal shape attached to a body, which was also floating.

My friends were also at a loss for words it seemed, none of them even making a sound. For all I knew they may have run off and left me with this thing. A quick glance to my right showed that this wasn't the case though; Dana was still standing there, frozen in shock.

Finally I found my voice, "You...you're..." I may have found my voice, but not my ability to formulate sentences.

"Yes, I am Jirachi," it responded to my non-existent possible question.

"B-but how?" I asked, finally managing more than one correct word, though it was only just a sentence.

"You wished for Pokémon, didn't you?" It asked, when I nodded it continued, "Well, that's exactly what you received. Your wish changed everything around you, and the main thing is that all animals have been replaced with Pokémon."

"What about our pets?" wailed Alicia.

"I don't know, I assume they changed into Pokémon too."

"What about the world, it looks nothing like the Pokémon world," stated Samantha.

Jirachi pointed in the general direction of my house. We all looked over, and again we were completely shocked.

"It's Pallet Town!" Dana managed to blurt.

Upon further investigation I found it was Pallet Town, though it didn't quite look the same. There were more houses. Rather than the usual two houses plus a Pokémon Lab there were eight houses, and of course the Lab.

The six of us turned back to look at Jirachi, but it had disappeared.

"Well," said Paula, managing to speak before the rest of us, "I guess we figure out who's house is whose and figure out to do with all of this," she made a vague gesture I assumed to mean everything, "tomorrow morning."

"Sounds good," said Ashley shakily.

We walked to Pallet Town in stunned silence, passing Rattata in the grass.

I walked into my house, finding it with little difficulty. The outside looked the same as before, hinting at which was mine. The inside looked the same too, including my dad, my dog and my rats. Surprisingly my mom, her boyfriend and my ex-step dad were all there too, along with their pets.

I looked at the three adults, the shock on my face from earlier re-appearing, "Why are all three of you here?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" my mom asked, "We've always lived together here remember. I didn't have enough money to move out when your dad and I divorced, and your ex-step dad didn't have enough to move out when we broke up either. Plus, we thought it'd be easier for you if all of the important people in your life were under the same roof.

I didn't remember this because it wasn't the way it happened, but I went with it, "That's not what I mean mom, I mean why are you all sitting at the kitchen table?" It was true, all four of them were, oddly, sitting at the kitchen table in the middle of the night.

"Well, we were waiting for you to get home," my ex-step dad said.

"We wanted to give you this," my dad added while handing me a new backpack," and we need to tell you that Professor Oak wants to see you and your friends tomorrow morning."

"Um, okay, thanks," I said taking the backpack from my dad and heading downstairs to my room.

I fell asleep wondering if when I woke up everything would be back to normal. I often had dreams where a whole day would play out, I'd go to sleep in my dream and I'd wake up back in reality and realize the other day was just a dream.
