Chapter Two: "Enemies and Allies and Friends"
The chapter starts with Butler looking into the night sky, eagerly anticipating the awakening of Jiraachi.
Elsewhere, Satoshi, Takeshi, and Haruka are looking at fireworks set off in celebration of the Millennium Comet. As the gang marvels at the lights, Haruka pulls out a pinwheel-shaped object from her bag. Satoshi asks her what it is, and she says that it's a Wish Maker that she had bought earlier at the carnival. She explains that the Wish Maker has seven folds - one for each night that the comet can be seen - and that her wish will come true if she folds one portion of the charm every night.
Further off, Masato is sitting alone, cradling Jiraachi's cocoon. Suddenly, an intense light emerges from the sleeping pokemon!
Meanwhile, the pokemon Absol sees the light from a distance and starts to run toward it.
Back at the hill, Satoshi, Takeshi, and Haruka catch up to Masato and witness the glowing light. Suddenly, Satoshi and the others hear Jiraachi's voice inside their heads! The light begins to die down, and soon Jiraachi's body appears. Masato stares up at the pokemon for a short moment before introducing himself as Jiraachi's partner. Jiraachi repeats Masato's name and then looks over at Satoshi-tachi, wondering if they're enemies. Masato quickly tells it that they're not and says that they're his friends. Jiraachi looks puzzled, and Masato guesses that Jiraachi doesn't have any friends in this time. Masato tells his partner that he wants to be its friend, but Jiraachi asks him how they can do that. Satoshi steps in and says that it's easy as everyone introduces themselves, one by one, to the wish granting pokemon. Jiraachi repeats everyone's name back to them as Dianne appears in front of the group. She notices that Jiraachi has awoken, so she tells the kids to wait in her bus while she informs Butler.
In a dark room, Butler is watching a shooting star in the sky. Dianne runs into the room, out of breath, and begins to tell Butler the news. The magician stops her, saying that he already knows that Jiraachi has woken up. Butler looks up at a large machine the middle of the room and announces that his experiment will begin shortly.
Inside Dianne's bus, where the gang has moved, Masato asks Jiraachi if it can really grant wishes. Haruka jumps up and says that she has a wish, as do Satoshi and Takeshi. An annoyed Masato yells at his friends, saying that he wishes they would just go away. Suddenly, Satoshi, Haruka, and Takeshi vanish into thin air! Masato guesses that Jiraachi was responsible and tells it that he wasn't making a wish, so Jiraachi brings his friends back. However, when they return, they're all soaking wet, and there's a Koiking biting Satoshi's butt! After this, Jiraachi says that it's sleepy, so it curls up and goes to sleep. Masato freaks out because he thinks that his friends is going to sleep for another thousand years, but Butler enters the bus and says that the pokemon's only sleeping for the night. He tells our heroes that it must be exhausted after using its ability and just needs a little rest, causing Masato to breathe a sigh of relief. He says goodnight to Jiraachi and goes to sleep, eagerly awaiting the next day.
That following morning, Satoshi and Takeshi are seen dressed up in clown outfits, similar to the ones Musashi and Kojirou wore. It seems that the two have volunteered to pass out flyers for Butler's show, but it becomes obvious that Takeshi is only doing it to get closer to Dianne. Meanwhile, Masato is already awake, eagerly anticipating Jiraachi's awakening. The pokemon opens its eyes and is told that it can do whatever it wants today, and so Jiraachi decides to go to the carnival. Masato and Jiraachi eagerly run out of the bus and head for the carnival grounds, barely hearing Satoshi's request for them to return before Butler's magic show starts.
Above, the Rocket-Dan are flying around in their big Nyasu balloon. Musashi spots the wish granting pokemon and plots to take it to give to their Boss...
Later that night, people pile out of Butler's Magic Show with smiles on their faces. Satoshi and his friends are seen staying after, being thanked by Butler for all their help. Suddenly, Haruka lets out a scream as the pokemon Absol appears! Dianne tells our heroes that Absol is said to bring disaster with it wherever it goes as Haruka calls on her Achamo to fight it. The small fire pokemon attacks with an Ember, but Absol simply shrugs it off and strikes back, sending Achamo flying across the room. Satoshi steps in with his Pikachu, who attacks its opponent with a Thunderbolt. Butler joins in and has his Guraena use Tackle attack to send Absol crashing into the wall. As the pokemon emerges from the rubble, Jiraachi seems surprised that Absol has appeared in front of them. Masato wonders how Jiraachi knows Absol and looks at his partner as Pikachu gets ready for another attack. Suddenly, Butler smiles and presses a button on his wristband that causes a cage to appear around Absol! He then calls on his Kirlia to come out and use Hypnosis to put the pokemon to sleep. Now that Absol is sleeping, Masato asks Jiraachi what it meant when it said that Absol came for it, but the pokemon ignores Masato and falls asleep, tired from its day. Day two has come to an end.
Later that night, everyone is sleeping in Dianne's bus. Masato gets up in the middle of the night and is shocked to find that Jiraachi is missing! Haruka's brother wakes everyone up with his scream before running out in search of his partner.
Meanwhile, in Butler's tent, Jiraachi is seen sleeping on a table. Dianne is yelling at Butler, telling him that Absol came from Faunsu to take Jiraachi back, and warns him about the disaster that's sure to follow the pokemon. Butler ignores her warnings and waits for the wish granting pokemon to awaken. As soon as it does, he has his Samayohru use Psychic to keep Jiraachi at bay! As Absol watches the attack from inside its cage, Butler tells Jiraachi that he wants it to open its "True Eye" (shinjitsu no me). With his "True Eye" open, Jiraachi will be able to collect a great amount of energy from the Millennium Comet, which can then be used to awaken Groudon! Butler presses some buttons and levers on a nearby control panel, and Jiraachi starts to scream in pain as the slit on its belly starts to open. Jiraachi tries to fly off the table, but Butler tells the pokemon that it is surrounded by a barrier that prevents it from escaping!
At this moment,
Butler hears a knock on the door. Masato is on
the other side with his friends and asks Butler to open the door,
telling him that Jiraachi has gone missing. Dianne pleads with
Butler to stop, but he responds by knocking her out of his way!
He then orders his Samayohru to keep using Psychic to open Jiraachi's
True Eye while Masato and Satoshi try to break the door down from the
outside. Before long, Jiraachi's True Eye fully opens, and an
intense beam of light is fired into the sky! The energy sends out
a shockwave that essentially destroys the tent's walls and sends
everyone falling backward. As soon as the smoke clears, Masato
sees Jiraachi on the ground, unconscious, and runs toward it to see
what's wrong. Jiraachi wakes up and, with a weak voices, says
that
it wants to go to Faunsu.
At that moment, Butler emerges from the rubble and marvels at Jiraachi's immense power. Masato asks what Butler did to Jiraachi, but he is ignored as Butler orders Samayohru to retrieve Jiraachi. Much to Butler's surprise, Dianne steps in between Jiraachi and him and begs him to stop. Butler ignores her request and orders his Samayohru to attack the young woman. Dianne is knocked back by the pokemon's assault, so Satoshi steps in and has his Pikachu use Iron Tail. As the ghost-type pokemon recovers, Dianne picks herself up and starts running while instructing Satoshi and his friends to get on her bus. Samayohru stands up and is ordered to stop Dianne and the others, but Absol manages to break out of its cage and rams Samayohru before it gets the chance to obey. Much to Butler's dismay, Dianne and the others escape.
Later, Satoshi-tachi are riding on Dianne's bus. The young woman is asked what Faunsu is, and she responds by saying that it's the place where Butler found Jiraachi. Masato becomes sad at the news, thinking of how it will soon be time for Jiraachi to return to the comet.
Meanwhile, Butler is standing atop a huge floating machine with a flat stage on the top (this machine is later referred to as his "Flying Laboratory"). As the machine flies through the air, Butler thinks to himself about how he thought Dianne was the one person who understood him.
Back on the bus, Masato asks Dianne if Faunsu is far from where they are now. Dianne tells the young boy that it will take them four days to reach it, a revelation which devastates Masato. After all, Jiraachi will only be here for five more days! Dianne apologizes before reminding Masato that Jiraachi isn't really his pokemon in the sense that any other trainer has a pokemon. Haruka asks Dianne what Butler would want with Jiraachi, and she tells her that he was once a scientist for the Magma-Dan. Butler was trying to revive the legendary pokemon Groudon, but he hadn't had any luck. Then, he found Jiraachi's sleeping cocoon in Faunsu and formulated a plan to use the pokemon to harness the enormous energy that is released by the Millennium Comet. Satoshi guesses that Butler's Magic Show was merely a way of finding the boy who would be Jiraachi's partner, since the pokemon wouldn't awaken without one. Jiraachi wakes up and starts to shiver, stating that it doesn't have any friends. Masato declares that he will always be Jiraachi's friend and tells Dianne to continue toward Faunsu.
As the gang drives, they notice that all of the wild pokemon in the area are running in the direction opposite of where they're heading. Dianne thinks it's strange before she notices the cause of the pokemon's unrest; a giant cyclone churning in the middle of the road! Dianne tries to steer the bus out of its path, but she can't avoid it in time! The bus is sucked up in the cyclone, and it looks like everyone is done for! Masato tells Jiraachi that he'll be his friend and will always protect him, and so Jiraachi wakes up and uses its power to teleport the bus to safety! Now that everyone is safe, a tired Jiraachi closes its eyes and goes back to sleep. As the bus resumes its journey, Absol looks on from a high cliff.
The third night passes without incident.
On the fourth night, Haruka asks Dianne if she's thinking about Butler. She says that she is, and explains how he used to be a nice person who loved pokemon and inventing things. Dianne says that in three days, Jiraachi will return to the Millennium Comet and Butler's research will come to an end. After that, Dianne hopes, the kind Butler from before will return to her. Masato overhears the conversation and thinks how three days isn't a long time.
On the fifth night, Haruka is making another fold on her Wish Maker. Suddenly, Masato runs up to his sister and smacks the charm out of her hand and starts to cry, saying how it's unfair that he won't be able to see Jiraachi for another thousand years. After all, humans can't live that long! Satoshi tells Masato that he really understands how he's feeling, but that he needs to remember that Jiraachi is his partner right now. Masato says that Satoshi can't know how he feels because unlike Satoshi and his Pikachu, Masato only has seven days with his partner. Satoshi responds by saying that he has thought about the day when Pikachu may leave, but that he can't let that consume him. He tells Masato that by focusing on Jiraachi's eventual departure, he's not allowing himself to enjoy what little time he does have with the pokemon. Masato carefully thinks over Satoshi's words and agrees with him, and so he picks up Jiraachi and tells it that he'll try his best to create lots of happy memories for it to take back to Faunsu with him.
And with that, our heroes arrive at Jiraachi's home, Faunsu.
