Epilogue

'Dear professor Birch,

I am writing this letter as the last report for my quest, for informing you about what happened after the attack on the Battle Frontier, which you have noticed through various medias.

First I would like to simplify my words by writing less on this part, as you may have already seen, the five pokedex holders were revived from their states of petrifaction, and the wish pokemon Jirachi has gone back to its sleep.

Next comes the actual reason for my writing, to inform you about further information of Jirachi which I observed and deduced. As I stated before the wish pokemon was first found in a cave on the island named the artisan cave, which I found quite a remarkable place. Nevertheless, two days ago, when Ruby and your daughter and I chased the panic pokemon we found ourselves in the artisan cave again. As you might have noticed, the cave is the only natural portion that is preserved on the artificially remolded island, that's what makes the cave such a conspicuous location. Now, you've probably predicted what I'm going to deduce. By summing up all facts and details that I've observed, I have every to suggest that the artisan cave is like the home to the wish pokemon, as I found it the only reason for the architects to preserve the cave and the frequent appearance of the pokemon in the cave, imagine any one is in panic, the first place they would want to go is somewhere they think is safe, in this case, the cave is the safe place. Though they are all just my hypothesis, which I think can never be proved, I hope this information can help your research.

Very sincerely yours

Wally'

'So that's what he told my friend.' Said professor Oak.

'I've read several of his other reports as well, and found something quite interesting' said Crystal 'he used a fake identity on the Battle Frontier, and that's not the most salient bit, the name he used is Emerald,' she said 'sounds familiar?'

'You are referring to the boy who asked for the pokedex several years ago, right?'

'You refused to do so almost immediately, which makes me kind of guilty because, you know, he only does it out of his admiration towards me.'

'He's not ready.'

'What if I tell you he is coming again?' said Crystal finally.

'What?'

'Yes, a few moments later he will be here, he just informed me days ago.' Said Crystal 'but I'm afraid that you wouldn't even give him a chance, so I chose to say today.'

'Even if he did have my permission, we don't have any pokedex left!' the professor shouted.

'Is it?' said Crystal, taking a dull gray colored machine from her bag 'I've just found this in your lab a few weeks ago, would you like to explain why this is working the same as the other pokedex?'

'That's the prototype of the Hoenn pokedex,' said professor 'it is just a draft, and don't have much functions like viewing the national pokedex or the resonation function.'

'Well it has the basic functions as a pokedex, so I suggest…'

'Alright, but I do not guarantee that he must take it.' Said the professor, knowing that it can take hours for his assistant to express her opinion.

'I guess he will be joining the Hoenn group, seeing that's his birthplace, he has a special sense to birthplaces.' Said Crystal

'I said that it is guaranteed for him to lay his hands on this machine.'

'I'm sure he can,' said Crystal

'How can you be so sure?' questioned professor Oak

'As I was told he is now a very different person to the one you have met before.' Said his assistant 'I wonder what kind of adventures are waiting for him?'
