Chapter (1): The Wish
Ken lazily sat on his chair. In his classroom, he was the idol and brightest of all kids. But he always was gloomy.
"Why isn't everything interesting?" he thought.
"Ken! Ken!" A voice shouted from behind. Ken turned and saw Larry and Shake. Those two were the only ones who befriended him.
"You sure look gloomy all day." Shake signed.
"Ken will always be Ken. There is nothing we can do about it."
Larry knew most about Ken's past. Nobody wanted him as a friend. He felt sorry Ken's loneliness more than anyone else. That was why he asked Ken to become his friend. Shake became a friend of him when he sat besides him. He found that Ken was easy to talk to. However he didn't know what Ken had been through in his life.
"Anyway, it's time to go home. So let's get going." Larry pulled Ken's arm.
"No need to do that." Ken pushed his hand away. He got up himself and picked up his bag and was ready to leave.
When they were in front of a park on their way home, they found a Jirachi statue. They had never seen it before. It was just as the same size as shown in the cartoon. There were some words written in a piece of paper below the statue.
"Write a wish on a tag, and stick it to the statue."
Ken stared at the words seriously. It was said in the cartoon and game that Jirachi was the pokemon that could make any wish come true. But it is only a imagination and it didn't even exist. Now a statue of Jirachi was here and telling them to make a wish. Should they really do that? He thought and then signed. He thought no more and wrote a wish on the tag and stuck it on the statue.
"Are you two going to wish something?" he asked his two friends.
"Why should we? This is ridiculous!" Both of them shouted in unison.
"Yeah," Ken replied and signed. "Looks like I am only one who is capable of doing weird things."
He set up his feet again and went straight to his home. Larry and Shake returned to their homes along with him. However, they did not notice that the eyes of the statue glowed with a blue light after they left.
At night, Ken laid on his bed, thinking about the statue and his wish.
"I really am weird. I only wished for impossible things. That's probably why no one wants to become a friend of mine." He then closed his eyes and went to sleep.
In his dreams, he felt pleasant.
"What's this pleasant and soothing feeling?" he asked himself.
"You wished that you wanted some pokemons to be your friends." Jirachi appeared in front of him. "Consider that wish, fulfilled." He said happily and disappeared.
