Chapter One: "A Fateful Encounter!! My First Partner"
In a secret location belonging to the Magma-Dan, a secret organization that strives to obtain the power of the legendary pokemon Groudon, a man is speaking to a group of the Magma-Dan's senior members. The man announces that he has obtained the fang of the legendary pokemon that they seek, and that, with the aid of a special device he's created, he will be able to resurrect the pokemon! The man sets the device in motion, but soon it malfunctions and is destroyed in a massive explosion! The Magma-Dan laugh at the dismayed scientist, telling him that they don't need him anymore. The man pleads with the members of the Magma-Dan to give him one more chance, but his requests are made in vain. The man picks up the remains of the fang that he collected and storms away, swearing that some day, he will succeed.
Some unknown amount of time later, a comet can be seen hurtling through the night sky.
Elsewhere, Satoshi, Haruka, Takeshi, and Masato are awaiting the beginning of a festival to honor "The Millennium Comet." Satoshi asks what that is, and Masato tells him that once every thousand years, a comet can be seen in the sky for a span of only seven nights. Haruka tells Satoshi to compare it to Vega1, a star that can be seen once every one hundred years, and says that having to wait for a thousand years must be difficult. Haruka is excited to see it, thinking how lucky they are for being alive at this time.
Suddenly, Takeshi's stomach starts to rumble, and soon everyone's stomachs follow suit. The gang decides to eat a meal before camping out for the night. As everyone lays outside in their sleeping bags, Haruka spots a shooting star! The young trainer starts making wishes, asking the star for lots of pokemon, a boyfriend, a Game Boy Advance SP, and other such things, all while her brother glares at her. Satoshi tells Haruka that she'd only get one wish and starts to say what he would wish for, but he falls asleep before he can tell the group what it is. Everyone falls asleep except Masato, who stares into the night sky, wishing that he had a strong pokemon like Pikachu to call his own.
The next morning, Pikachu is awoken by the sound of music. The sleepy pokemon looks down the valley and sees a circus that had been set up overnight! The electric pokemon wakes everyone up and guides them to the carnival, which is now filled with lots of people! The gang makes their way down to the attractions as Musashi, Kojirou, and Nyasu, who are wearing clown disguises, pass out flyers for the Great Butler's Magic Show. Satoshi and his friends hear about the magic show and decide to attend, so they enter the big tent where the show is to take place. As our heroes enter, Pikachu is greeted by a Kirlia, who pats the mouse pokemon on the head.
The magic show has
begun! On stage is the man who tried to
resurrect Groudon for the Magma-Dan, Butler, and his Kirlia and
Guraena. Butler points to Kirlia, who is sealed inside a
box. Guraena takes a chain in its mouth and wraps it around the
box, sealing Kirlia inside. Afterwards, Butler takes a bunch of
swords and, one by one, sticks them into the box! Satoshi and his
friends watch anxiously as Butler takes the final sword, which is on
fire, and stabs the box with it! The box catches on fire as
Masato comments on how easily Satoshi and his sister are fooled.
As the smoke from the flames clears, a woman holding a crystal cocoon
in her arms emerges from the box! As everyone in the crowd
cheers, Masato starts to hear a voice coming
from the crystal telling him that its name is Jiraachi! Haruka's
brother
stands up in astonishment, which causes Butler to take notice and
smirk, thinking to himself how he's
finally found "him." Butler thanks everyone for watching his
show,
and he also thanks Dianne (the girl holding the cocoon), Guraena, and
Kirlia (who's now sitting in the audience). Pikachu rejoices at
the fact that the pokemon is safe and sound.
As everyone claps, Masato continues to hear the voice calling to him. The young boy starts to walk onto the stage, as if possessed, and heads straight for the cocoon! Satoshi runs on stage and yells at his young friend, wondering what he's doing. Satoshi apologizes to Butler for interrupting his show, but the magician isn't angry at all; in fact, he asks Satoshi and Masato to help him out with his next trick! Dianne asks the two boys for their names as Takeshi sits in the audience, upset that they get to share the stage with such a beautiful woman. Then, Musashi and Kojirou appear, still in their clown outfits, and roll a large box onto the stage. Butler asks Satoshi and Masato to get into the box, and so the young boys agree. Butler then tells the audience that after ten seconds, his Samayohru will use its Hyper Beam attack to destroy the box! As Masato tells Satoshi that he heard a strange voice coming from the stage, Butler orders his pokemon to use Hyper Beam! The box is destroyed in a huge explosion, causing both Haruka and Takeshi to scream! As everyone, including Musashi and Kojirou, worries about the two boys, Butler reveals that they're safe and sound as he directs everyone's attention to the bleachers, where the two young boys have suddenly appeared!
Everyone claps for Satoshi and Masato, who have no choice but to stand there and smile. Suddenly, a metal claw emerges from the audience and snatches Pikachu! The Rocket-Dan appear and remove their disguises before making a run for it with Satoshi's pokemon! A blimp appears and fires a net at Butler's Guraena and Kirlia, capturing them as well! Butler tells his audience that he'll give them a special show as he has his Samayohru fire an attack at the Rocket-Dan. The attack breaks the claw used to hold Pikachu, allowing Satoshi's pokemon to escape! Satoshi reunites with his Pikachu and then orders it to use Thunderbolt on the Rocket-Dan's blimp. Pikachu obeys, and the net holding Butler's pokemon is broken. Now that all the pokemon are freed, Samayohru is ordered to use Night Shade on the Rocket-Dan, causing the trio to be sent blasting off again. The audience cheers for Butler and Satoshi as they wave to the audience.
After the show, Butler thanks Satoshi and Masato for all their help. Masato starts to become mesmerized by the crystal cocoon again, catching Butler's attention. The magician informs our heroes of the cocoon's secret; it houses the legendary pokemon, Jiraachi! Butler tells our heroes that every one thousand years, the pokemon appears for a space of seven days and will grant a wish to whoever it picks as its partner. Butler then tells Masato that he is who has been chosen to be its new partner! Masato is only able to gaze on in astonishment as Dianne hands him the cocoon. Haruka holds out her hands and tells her brother that he can't have Jiraachi because he doesn't have any pokemon yet, but Masato tightens his grip on the cocoon and tells his sister that he will protect his first pokemon for the seven days that it's on Earth! The young boy then runs off, and Satoshi and the others follow him.
At this time, Dianne turns to Butler and asks him if he's sure that the pokemon will awaken tonight. Butler takes out the fang of the Groudon that he had before and looks at it, saying that his wishes will soon come true...
1The Japanese tanabata festival is based on the meeting of the stars Vega and Altair . The flaps of paper on Jiraachi's head are based on this Japanese festival.
