In the dark sky of a world in terror, a bright comet streaked between the stars. A Salandit glanced upward, gasping in awe at this falling star. He knew the legends about stars that fell like this… but were they true?
Worth the chance, he decided, focusing his mind on the one thing he wanted. I want our world to be safe again so that I can finally explore it, he decided, hoping that his wish would become a reality.
"Amphibian!" a voice called from within the tent he had just left. "Why are you awake?"
"Clay, you really have to see this!" the Salandit replied, pointing upwards at the sky. "Wait, why is it still there? Don't falling stars usually only last a few seconds?"

Amphibian woke up over a bright streak of light in the sky? a Pawniard thought, rubbing his eyes and looking up. Sure enough, there was the comet, brighter than any of the stars.
"Make a wish, Clay!" the Salandit said excitedly.
In response, Claymore yawned, but hid it to make Amphibian think he was closing his eyes to think about what he wanted.
Heh… he still believes in those fairy tales? Well, I suppose he has some idea of what I would wish for if I did, too.
"It's about your master, isn't it?" Amphibian asked, shocking the Pawniard for a second. "If it was me in your place, that's what I'd wish for."
Claymore groaned. "Yes, Amphibian, it is about my master. Now can we get some sleep?"
The Salandit was already lying on the ground, his breath a slow rhythm of inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale. The Pawniard picked him up and brought him into the tent, where the scent of honey and apples slowly lulled Claymore to sleep, too.

A Cottonee's eyes were uncomfortably brought open by the sudden brightness in the night sky. What… They looked up, seeing the comet, and their mouth opened in shock. Wow. Okay, what to wish for? Um… how about for everyone to just be safe? That seems like a good wish. Yeah, that's a good idea. Then I could go back home… maybe.
They sighed, knowing that the monsters had probably destroyed everything by now. Milkweed closed their eyes, but found themself unable to fall asleep from the sheer brightness of the falling star. I won't be able to see the comet if I can't see the sky, they said, hurrying behind a tree. They managed to fall into a deep slumber, dreaming about home.

Looking out of the window to the room that Cocoa had provided her, a Sobble saw what could only be described as a very slow comet. How had it not left the sky yet? It had probably been three whole minutes!
And I still have to think of a wish, she realized, her mind going back to the memories of her sister. Well, I guess it's not hard to figure this one out…
I wish to see my sister again. I want her to be safe from those monsters. Maybe there's still a chance that we can meet again. I hope so. I really hope she's okay.
That's when Mizuchi realized that the comet was getting closer to the ground. In fact, she noticed something like a cape waving around behind it.
Wait, that's a Pokemon! She wasted no time in going to the bedroom of her friend. "Cocoa, wake up!"
"Mizuchi, do you know what time it is?" the Chesnaught said, her eyes not opening.
"Okay, one, I have no clue how you slept through that comet. Two, it's not a comet! There's a Pokemon in the woods, and they need our help!"
Cocoa groaned, but got out of bed. "Fine, but don't blame me when we get ambushed by wild Mightyena."
The Sobble nodded, hurrying out the door.
