• After arriving near the Youth Cup arena, Lin Feng took Mewtwo toward Wangwang Supermarket and worried about whether Qin Shu would make it on time.

Lin Feng visited Wangwang Supermarket during the Youth Cup and used the Eye of Investigation to find a rare Sprigatito Egg among the covered Pokémon Eggs. He bought it and fifty Luxury Balls, then released Alolan Vulpix when it stirred in its Poké Ball.

• Alolan Vulpix stirred in its Poké Ball, and Lin Feng released it.

Lin Feng brought Alolan Vulpix to the Youth Cup while carrying a Sprigatito Egg, and Vulpix chose a scarf that made her feel like a hero. After she declared she wanted to battle, Lin Feng entered the tournament grounds, but he could not find Qin Shu.

• Alolan Vulpix wanted Lin Feng to hold her, so he promised her a gift while he carried the Sprigatito Egg.

• The Shorts Kid ordered Pignite to charge with Tackle, but Lin Feng told Alolan Vulpix to use Snowfall.
• Alolan Vulpix made the temperature plummet and blanketed the field in snow, leaving Pignite confused.

Lin Feng’s Alolan Vulpix won a match by burying Pignite in a blizzard, then drove off the other Trainers who had hoped to battle. While searching for a stronger opponent, Lin Feng spotted Qin Shu with a real Jirachi and was stunned by its appearance and unusual status.

• Alolan Vulpix covered the battlefield in snow, leaving Pignite unable to find or attack it, and the referee awarded the match to Lin Feng.

• Lin Feng spotted Qin Shu battling with Wartortle and recognized the Pokémon beside her as Jirachi.
• Lin Feng used Eye of Investigation and learned that the Jirachi was a divine-aptitude Pokémon on its first day of freedom after a thousand years of sleep.

Lin Feng recognized the Pokémon on Qin Shu as Jirachi while watching Qin Shu’s Wartortle battle a Sceptile in the Youth Cup. The two Pokémon’s attacks struck at once, leaving the outcome uncertain as Qin Shu urged Wartortle to hold on.

• Lin Feng confirmed that the Pokémon on Qin Shu was Jirachi and wondered whether it had arrived with the meteor that fell near Changsha City.
• Lin Feng assessed Qin Shu’s Level 29 Wartortle and her opponent’s Level 27–29 Sceptile before the battle continued.
• Qin Shu used Rain Dance and ordered Wartortle to attack with Water Gun, repeatedly striking Sceptile.

• Qin Shu ordered Wartortle to use Hydro Pump on Sceptile, and the simultaneous attacks blasted both Pokémon as the crowd watched in silence.
• Qin Shu called out for Wartortle to hang on while both Pokémon stood motionless.

• Qin Shu’s Wartortle defeated the girl’s Sceptile, and Qin Shu promoted the Neighboring Breeding House to her opponent.
• Lin Feng praised Qin Shu’s battle and pointed out that she had missed Sceptile’s energy fluctuations and could have used Hydro Pump against Grass Pledge.
• Lin Feng used Mewtwo’s Psychic Power to isolate the group so Qin Shu could explain Jirachi’s wish-granting ability.
• Jirachi admitted that it had restored Wartortle’s stamina when Qin Shu told it to hold on, revealing that Wartortle had not won unaided.

Lin Feng and Qin Shu competed with Jirachi, Wartortle, and Alolan Vulpix before heading to Xinghua Mountain, where Lin Feng hoped to find clues about his missing parents. He found no unusual activity on the mountain and set up a barbecue with his Pokémon.

• Jirachi told Qin Shu that it had once helped a Trainer named Ah Feng find food, while Lin Feng withheld an explanation about how Jirachi's wishes worked.
• Mewtwo warned that the group was running out of oxygen, so Lin Feng agreed to end the barrier and let Jirachi compete.

• Lin Feng checked the map and took Qin Shu to Xinghua Mountain, where his parents had disappeared years earlier.
• Mewtwo found nothing unusual on Xinghua Mountain, and Lin Feng began setting up a barbecue after releasing his Pokémon.

• Jirachi told Mew that Ah Feng’s Caterpie tribe had clashed with the nearby Weedle tribe on the fifth day.
• Mew protected its plate from Blaziken, and Qin Shu thanked Jirachi for restoring Wartortle’s stamina before asking it not to grant her wishes if they came at a cost.

Lin Feng entered Goodra in the Youth Cup, where officials confirmed the ten-month-old Pokémon met the age requirement despite its Champion-level strength. Goodra overcame its initial fear when Protect blocked Geodude’s Rock Throw, then stood bewildered as Geodude’s Brick Break struck its hands without hurting it.

• Lin Feng brought Blaziken and several Eevees to battle in the Youth Cup, then entered Goodra in Arena Three.
• The referee checked with the competition officials and confirmed Goodra was approximately ten months old and eligible to compete.

• A pink kitten found Jirachi waiting nearby and invited it to join Lin Feng for dinner.
• After dinner, Lin Feng introduced Jirachi to the Pokémon, who stared at the Wishing Pokémon with curiosity.

Lin Feng and his Pokémon welcomed Jirachi with a feast, and Jirachi was delighted by their kindness and modern entertainment. As the day ended, Lin Feng wondered whether the Wish Fruit could help Jirachi spend less time asleep, but he did not yet know how it worked.

• Lin Feng served Jirachi cake and other foods, and the Pokémon at the Breeding House shared their favorite treats with it.
• Jirachi felt happy to have met Qin Shu, Lin Feng, and their Pokémon, though it regretted that its first day with them was already over.
• Lin Feng watched anime with Jirachi and the other Pokémon, then considered Alolan Vulpix's request to help Jirachi avoid its long slumber.
• Lin Feng took out the Wish Fruit and examined its shell, wondering if it could help Jirachi stay awake longer.

Lin Feng discovered that Rare Candies could extend Jirachi’s waking time, but not enough to solve its seven-day limit, and Serperior comforted him. Meanwhile, Youth Cup referees found Champion-level Goodra and an exceptionally young Overlord-level Blaziken in one contestant’s footage and escalated the matter.

• Lin Feng gave Jirachi Rare Candies and found that they added only a few minutes of waking time each.
• Serperior offered Lin Feng its tail to comfort him, and Lin Feng thanked it as it relaxed and cried.
• Lin Feng stayed up late so Jirachi and Alolan Vulpix could keep watching anime, while he quietly wiped Serperior’s tears.
• Changsha City Youth Cup referees finished reviewing footage and noticed Champion-level Goodra and an Overlord-level Blaziken less than five months old.
• The referees could not decide how to handle the unusually powerful Pokémon, so they reported the case to their superiors.
