Saving Deoxys's Companion (Part 1)

"Companion?"

Hearing Mark murmur, Jirachi blinked and flew over to Deoxys.

"Jirachi can tell that you're a kind Pokemon, and you're pretty strong too. If you're looking for a companion, Jirachi can be your companion!"

"Mew!"

Bzzzz—

Deoxys let out a piercing shriek, while Kakuna made a sound of apparent pleasure.

Mark vaguely noticed that Kakuna's tentacles seemed to be absorbing something from Deoxys's tentacles.

However, the state lasted only a
