Chapter 3 Max's New Friend
Max's POV
One Hour Later
After the show, I decided to ask Butler and Diane about who was in the rock.
"Jirachi", I said when they told me.
Butler nodded.
"It's a very special Pokémon that awakens once every thousand years", he revealed before looking at the rock. "I think he's sleeping right in here!"
"Wow", I said in awe. "It's like a cocoon!"
"It is said that for Jirachi to awaken, two things need to happen", Butler revealed. "The Millennium Comet needs to be visible in the night sky. And Jirachi needs to find himself a friend."
"It needs a friend", I said in shock.
"Is that why it was talking to Max", I heard May ask.
I looked at the Rock in awe.
"Hello Jirachi", I greeted nervously.
"First Max was hearing things and now he's made friends with a big rock", I heard May.
I turned to look at her angrily.
"Cut it out", I commanded. "You're just jealous that Jirachi chose me to be his friend instead of you!"
"It's also said that Jirachi can grant wishes", I heard Butler say causing me to turn around. "But he can't do any of that without first having you as his friend."
This made me smile.
"Okay I'll do it", I said excitedly.
"Max, meet Jirachi", Butler said.
"How do you do", I asked as I took the rock.
"Wow", May said in awe. "Max, can I see what it feels like?"
I pulled Jirachi to my chest before May could touch him.
"Hey", she said angrily.
"I thought it was weird to be friends with a rock", I reminded May.
She smiled nervously.
"Well", she started. "I was just joking. Can I please hold it?"
"No way", I replied as I ran away causing May to run after me.
That Evening
May and I were walking through the carnival when she stopped at one of the stalls.
She held up one of the items.
"Wow", she said in awe. "Look at this!"
"You have good taste young lady", the stall keeper stated. "That's a wishing star."
"A wishing star", May asked.
"It works with the Millennium Comet", the stall keeper revealed. "One each of the seven nights all you have to do is fold down one of the sections. If you do it all seven nights, then your wish will come true."
"Wow", May said in awe. "I'll take it!"
"Excellent choice", the shop keeper stated. "But you only get one wish, so make it count."
Suddenly, fireworks went off!
"Look at that", the stall keeper said. "Won't be long before the comet shows up."
"Do you see that Jirachi", I asked the rock. "Fireworks!"
One Hour Later
May's POV [How Extra: This is the first time the story's in May's POV.]
Max and I were sitting on a field outside of the festival.
"It's getting cloudy", Max pointed out. "We may not be able to see the Millennium Comet tonight."
"No fair", I stated.
Suddenly, the fair turned most of their big lights off.
The clouds started parting...and I got to see what my brother and I came here for.
"The Millennium Comet", I said happily. "Right on time! I'd better make my wish."
With that I held up my wishing star and made my wish.
I wish to be the best Coordinator I can possibly be. [How Extra: I have no idea if this is what May wished for in the movie.]
"Once every thousand years", I said. "We're so lucky huh Max?"
Max didn't answer so I looked down...and smiled.
Man was sound asleep and holding onto his rock. [How Extra: Aww!]
I got off the rock I was sitting on and sat down next to Max.
"Goodnight Max", I greeted as I rubbed his head.
He the said the cutest thing in his sleep.
"Mommy." [How Extra: Double aww!]
I smiled at what Max said before I started singing a lullaby that our mother use to sing to us.
While I was singing...something happened.
THE ROCK STARTED GLOWING! [How Extra: (Does spit take.)]
The glowing woke Max and he quickly ran to my side.
Suddenly, I heard a voice!
"The song. The song is calling me!" [How Extra: Okay! That's creepy!]
"What on earth", I said in shock. "Is that's Jirachi's voice?"
"It's telepathy", Max revealed.
Suddenly, the rock started floating! [How Extra: Double creepy!]
Swirls of light started forming around it as the rock started disappearing.
And when it did...a Pokémon was in it's place!
It must've been Jirachi!
He started floating downwards and Max caught him.
Jirachi opened his eyes and looked at Max and I awe.
"Oh my goodness", I said excitedly. "He's so cute!"
"Hello", Max greeted. "My name is Max. And this is my sister May."
"Hello Max and May", Jirachi greeted.
Suddenly, Diane ran up to the scene and looked at us in shock.
"Diane", Max started excitedly. "It's Jirachi! He woke up!"
"I'll go tell Butler the good news", Diane stated. "Mean while, you two can camp out in our bus tonight!" [How Extra: Score!]
"Thanks", May said as Diane left.
Ten Minutes Later
Max's POV
I was in Butler's bus with May and Jirachi.
"Jirachi", I started. "Can you really grant wishes?"
"Wishes", Jirachi asked.
"I need to test it", I stated. "I know! I wish for lots of candy!"
"That's a dumb wish", May stated. [How Extra: A wish involving candy is never dumb!]
"Candy", Jirachi said before lifting into the air.
The ribbons on his head glowed before he fell back to his seat.
"Where's the candy", I asked. "It didn't work."
"There's no such things as wishes", I stated. "I knew it!"
"Then how come your mouth was watering?" [How Extra: Yes Max. How?]
This comment made me look at May sheepishly.
Suddenly, I felt something in my lap.
I looked down...and gasped at what I saw.
It was candy! [How Extra: (does spit take) candy?!]
Suddenly, Jirachi started making tons of candy appear!
"It worked", I exclaimed. "Thanks Jirachi!"
"Ooo", May said excitedly. "My turn! I wish for..."
Before May could answer...all the candy fell out taking us with it! [How Extra: Candy avalanche!]
I popped out of the candy as Butler and Diane ran to the bus.
"What happened", the former asked in shock. "Where's Jirachi?"
"He's right here", I replied happily before pulling Jirachi out of the candy.
"Right here", he said happily. "Right here!"
Butler smiled in relief upon hearing this.
"What happened", Diane asked.
"I wished for lots of candy and Jirachi made it come true", I revealed.
Diane picked up one of the packets.
"Those are from the snack bar in the park", she revealed.
"That's because Jirachi has the power to teleport things", Butler revealed.
I looked at Butler in shock.
"But that means that all the candy is..."
Before I could finish...May popped out of the candy.
"...free at last", she yelled happily before taking a bite out of one of the candy bars.
"Um May", I started. "They're not free."
Upon hearing this...May looked at me in shock.
"What", she chocked out.
"Jirachi used his powers to teleport the candy from the snack bar in the park", I revealed.
"What", May yelled in shock as she climbed out of the candy. "So he stole?!"
"May", I started. "I..."
"Max", my sister yelled. "This is your fault with your stupid wish!"
"What am I supposed to do", I asked.
"Jirachi can put the candy back", Butler pointed out.
"Good idea", May stated. "Jirachi, get rid of the problem!" [How Extra: Should've been more specific.]
"Get rid of problem", Jirachi asked. "Okay!"
With that Jirachi did as told.
But he didn't teleport the candy away.
He teleported May away! [How Extra: Ahhh!]
"She's gone", Diane said in shock.
"Disappeared", Butler added.
"Jirachi", I started. "What did you do to my sister?"
"Help", I heard somebody say. "Get me out of here!"
I looked up...and gasped.
May was stuck in the candy!
"In there", Diane said before she went to get her.
"Sleepy", Jirachi said suddenly. "Getting very sleepy."
With that Jirachi fell asleep.
"Jirachi", I said in concern before looking at Butler. "Is that all he stays up for?"
"Jirachi's just recharging his energy", Butler revealed. "He won't hibernate again until the comet is gone next week."
Upon hearing this, I let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness", I stated.
"That wasn't very funny", May stated as Diane help her back onto the ground. "Now what are we going to do about all this candy?"
"We're gonna have to carry it back there ourselves", Diane replied. "We have no other choice."
May looked at Diane in shock.
"Boy."
HotXbun: One night down. Another six more to go!
Challenge: If you could have any wish, what would it be.
My Answer: For the world to be a better place.
