Aureolin, Tim, and Lilly arrived at route 42. Little did they know, they were being watched. There they saw some people enter Mt. Mortar.
"Hey let's go check out that mountain too!" said Lilly.
"Yeah! Let's go!" said Tim. Then they both ran into the cave. Aureolin sighed.
"Maybe I can ditch these two…" Aureolin thought.
"So you came to make a wish too? I wouldn't waste your time." There was a guy standing right beside Aureolin, grinning at him.
"…Because it would be a waste of time?" Aureolin asked.
"No! What? Are yo- Well, I guess it would be for you. Since I plan on capturing that Pokémon." Aureolin just gave him a bored look. "Take a look at this!" He sent out an Arcanine. "See, I already have a legendary Pokémon! Getting another one will be a cinch!"
"If he really thinks that, then I'm wasting time with this guy…" Aureolin thought.
"So it would be… Wait what are you doing?" Aureolin had Croc out and was getting ready to leave.
"I've got-"
"We'll make a wish way before you get to it!" a man said. He was pretty chubby and had black greasy hair and wore thick rimmed glasses. There was another man with him too. He looked frightened.
"I'd be glad to give you all wishes from my Jirachi when I catch it." The two of them smiled big. "Only if you pay me 9,999,999 poke for each wish!"
"What a rip off!" the greasy haired man shouted.
"Well, later losers!" The man returned his Arcanine and left into Mt. Mortar. The other two ran in as well. Now that those three got Aureolin interested in checking things out, so he went into the cave as well.
When Aureolin went into the cave, he found Lilly, Timmy, the freighted guy, and the chubby guy together.
"Hey, where were you!" Tom shouted.
"We got a bit worried Aureolin," Lilly said.
"Try to keep up, okay?"
Aureolin crossed his arms.
"Right, so my names Fred, and my buddies name is Mike!" said the chubby one. "So you all want explore this cave too, huh? Well, these two can't use Waterfall…. How about you?" he asked Aureolin.
"Nope," Aureolin said.
"Well, luckily I do! And I'll be glad to help! Unlike that jerk…"
"Yay! Thank you mister!" Lilly said.
"You must be way better than Aureolin to be able to use Waterfall!" Tim said. The guy grinned.
"Well let's get going and get to that Pokémon before that jerk does," Aureolin.
"Yes! Right! Let's run!" Fred ran off and they all ran after.
"Aww, do we really have to?" Lilly asked. They went into a tunnel, and Fred gasped from exhaustion.
"Man… I think it we would have a better chance to hope he got lost then to catch up to him," Fred said.
"I agree!" Lilly said.
"Yeah! So let's walk. We should've never listened to Aureolin," Tim said.
"So spooky…" Lilly said. A Zubat popped up and she screamed. Aureolin sent out Spike and Tundershocked it, which made it go away.
"I could've done that!" Tim yelled.
"Whatever, let's just keep going," Aureolin said. They walked and ran into a Pokémon, but ran away, and ran away from more and more Pokémon. Fred dropped to the floor, dripping in sweat, while everyone else sat down for a bit of a rest.
"Aww man… Does anyone have a Repel?" Fred asked.
"Not me," Aureolin said.
"What's a Repel?" Lilly asked. Timmy looked confused as well.
"Fffffffffuuuu…" Fred started to say. "Well, I guess that doesn't matter. Let's continue on!" They had gotten turned around for some time, but then, they found another tunnel. After going through another tunnel, they find themselves outside. "Ahh!" Fred laid down on his back. "Let's rest here for a bit."
"Great idea!" Lilly said. She sat down under a shady tree and sighed. Timmy joined her. Aureolin just crossed his arms and sighed.
After they rested up a bit, they continued on. Fred had a Pokémon used flash, and they continued on in the cave. But then they heard some voices somewhere.
"Did you find it yet?"
"Not yet. But I'm certain we're close!"
"Heh, once we find it, team Domination will no trouble ruling this world!"
"Let's get going everyone!"
Then it was silent.
"Team Domination's here?" Lilly asked.
"Oh crap! We got to get out of here now! Team Domination will kill us if we get in the way!" Mike shouted.
"No way! Team Domination doesn't scare me! We can teach those bullies a lesson Lilly!" Tim said.
"You idiot! Team Domination's no joke! They won't care if you're a child or a woman or very old, they will kill you!" Aureolin shouted.
"Coward!"
"Listen, right now it's best we avoid them, and get Jirachi outta here before they get the chance to get to it!"
"No! No, we need to leave. Now!" Mike shouted. He remembers the time team Domination came and killed his sister for getting in the way. Mike doesn't want to be next. He ran the way they came and left.
"Listen kids, Aureolin is right. We don't want to start trouble with those thugs. We'll just get our wish and tell it to leave now," Fred said.
"Fine…" Tim said.
They went deeper underground. They ran from Pokémon after Pokémon. They finally hit water. Aureolin and Lilly got on Croc, while Timmy and Fred got on Seel. As they continued on, Aureolin wondered how Gray was doing. It has been awhile since he's seen him. There has been a lot that's happened. He couldn't wait to face him again, since what he said the last time they battled. Aureolin also remembered that Rick said he saved him. He wondered why. Well, whatever the reason, Aureolin figures he should repay him somehow. If it wasn't for him, Aureolin would've lost his Pokémon. "Of course! He didn't want to lose his rival!" Aureolin thought.
"Dang, another dead end!" Fred shouted. Seems Fred got off his Seel to check the land out. He got back on it. "Well, let's go Seel!" Then they continued on. They've gotten lost a bit, but then found a part were to go to the upper floor. They found the exit, but they went the water route again. They ran into a Goldeen. Lilly wanted to catch it, but Fred and Aureolin said that they have no time. They appeared in front of a huge waterfall.
"Woah!" Lilly exclaimed.
"Alright Seel! Waterfall!" Fred shouted. Then Seel and the ones who were on him were lifted up. "I'll be right back for you two!"
"Okay!" Lilly said. "You're so quiet."
"You're so talkative…" Aureolin said.
"I am!"
"Seel is coming back down!" Fred said. After a while, Fred came back down and Aureolin and Lilly hoped on Seel. Then Aureolin returned Croc and they got lifted up the waterfall. Timmy and Fred were hanging onto a Tentacruel. Lilly and Aureolin got back onto Croc and the other two went back on Seel. After returning the Tentacruel, they continued surfing and running away from Pokémon. They finally made it to another tunnel on land. This is the place where they really got lost. It took them hours and hours till they found the next place. Luckily, once they got above, they found where to go next easier. When they went right however, they ran into team domination.
Team Domination finally blasted a big hole through the wall with some Hyper Beams, but then the cave shook and some rock crushed Timmy.
"Timmy!" Lily shouted. All the team Domination members turned around.
"Who let the brats in?"
"Look! It's that guy! That spiky haired man!"
"Looks like it's our lucky day!" But Aureolin was paying no mind. He looked at Timmy with a horrified look. It reminded him of his mother's when she died. Aureolin got lost in memories. He blames himself. He never should've brought the kids with him. Then Ariel brought him back with a Powder Snow attack.
"…When did you get out your pokeball?" Ariel spoke and nodded. She seemed determined to help Aureolin. Fred sent out all his Pokémon, and Lilly sent out hers and Timmy's out.
"Listen man, I'm counting on you. Go get Jirachi outta here. We can distract them," Fred said. He looked at Lilly, who had tears in her eyes and nodded at him. Aureolin sent out his Pokémon, and told them to help with the distraction. There where attacks flying everywhere. Aureolin slowly crouched down to the ground and crawled through everyone.
"Great job Aerodactyl!"
"Keep it up Raticate!"
"Now kill them Sneasel!"
Aureolin finally crawled behind everyone and was now sitting in the tunnel heaving. He almost got hit a couple times, but still made it. Aureolin looked back at the battle. There was a Feraligatr and Kadabra in there fighting. They seemed somehow familiar to him, but he figured team Domination stole them. But they were fighting against them. The wild Pokémon seem to be fighting team Domination too for wrecking their home, but they weren't helping much.
"Guys, I'm going on ahead to get Jirachi!"
"There are girls here too, you moron!"
"Whatever!"
"Oh no!" Aureolin thought. He closed his eyes.
"Hey! A Jynx blocked the exit! I need another blast to this wall!"
Aureolin opened his eyes, and saw Ariel there. She quickly pointed for Aureolin to go and he nodded.
"Sing when I leave," Aureolin whispered. She nodded. Then he ran off, while she tried to hold the wall with Confusion. But the Hyper Beam was too much. She then started to sing.
"Stop it! Hyper… Beam it. Gara…dos." It then got shot again and fainted. Luckily, everyone fell asleep except for Aureolin. He even covered his ears in case of echo. When he arrived out the other side, he gently got his ears off his hands, and then he looked around. There he found Jirachi, sleeping.
