Chapter Summaries

Lilith recovered memories of her investigation into Clear Stream Gym and learned that several people from her group had been sent there to atone for their sins. As Aya arrived after Aura training, she sensed that bad people were watching Lilith and rushed away.

• Aya arrived with Lucario after exhausting Aura training and told Lilith she sensed bad people watching her.
• Aya darted away before Lilith could learn who was watching her.

• Wei Sheng’s Tyranitar rampaged until a figure in a white coat appeared before it and made it look away.

Mark dealt with the Masked Assassin and learned that Lily was Ninth Princess Lilith, whose family had ordered her killed. He decided Jirachi might no longer need to stay hidden, leaving Jirachi thrilled as it flew over Clear Stream Village.

• Victini persuaded Tyranitar to clear away the sand it had scattered, while Mark asked Aya how the fight began.
• Mark reviewed the surveillance footage and examined the Masked Assassin’s memories with Butterfree as Aya explained that he had targeted Lily.
• Lilith revealed that she was Ninth Princess Lilith and said the Empress or her Fourth Imperial Brother had hired Wei Sheng to kill her because she knew they had poisoned her Mother Consort and the Eleventh Imperial Prince.

• Jirachi tried to use a Small Wish to obtain Memory Potion for the witnesses, but Mark stopped it and said Jirachi might no longer need to hide.
• Jirachi celebrated Mark’s decision by flying happily over Clear Stream Village.

After mastering Aura Power, Mark decided he was strong enough to register Jirachi as his Pokemon, and Jirachi joyfully told everyone in Clear Stream Village.

• Wei Sheng’s Pokemon emerged angrily, but they quieted under Mark’s gaze and returned to their Pokeballs.

After defeating Wei Sheng, Mark learned that Lilith’s pendant contained a Dream Gem linked to Cresselia and explained why he had sought her out. He left for the Pokémon Center with Jirachi, warning Lilith to stay in Clear Stream Village because a worldwide Chaotic Pokemon Tide could erupt soon.

• Victini burned Wei Sheng’s corpse, and Butterfree carried his ashes into the forest while Mark explained why Wei Sheng’s Pokémon had not attacked him.
• Lilith gave Mark her silver heart-shaped pendant, and he discovered its hidden Dream Gem, which she said came from her mother’s family on the Divine Grace Continent.
• Mark and Victini examined the Dream Gem but could not activate it, so Mark suggested they seek clues where Lilith’s family had lived.
• Mark told Lilith that Mi Yang had revealed her Phione could become Manaphy and that she had handled Cresselia’s Lunar Wings, explaining his reasons for finding her.
• Jirachi urged Aya and Mark to register her at the Pokémon Center, and Mark warned Lilith to avoid traveling because of possible attacks and an approaching worldwide Chaotic Pokemon Tide.

After Mark left, Flaming reassured Lilith that Mark would not restrain her and gave her a powerful Garchomp, while Wei Sheng’s former Pokémon also chose or were handed to Lilith. Three days later, Lilith remained in Clear Stream Village as news spread that Jirachi had become Mark’s Pokémon.

• Flaming told Lilith that Mark would not stop her from leaving, advised her to stay in Clear Stream Village, and gave her a Heavenly King-level Garchomp in repayment for Princess Anna’s past kindness.
• Lilith learned from Flaming that three knights who had joined the Clear Stream Gym were no longer loyal to her, but Flaming disappeared before she could ask for details.

• Jirachi publicized that it had become Mark’s Pokémon throughout the village, and news outlets reported the change without causing much stir worldwide.

Jirachi grew impatient with the World Pokemon Alliance’s delayed inspection and went to find inspector Black without Mark’s permission. It attacked Black, then healed his wound and disappeared, leaving the inspection team behind.

• The World Pokemon Alliance refused to register Jirachi until its officials could verify that it was real.
• Jirachi asked Mark when inspector Black would arrive and showed him that Black had ignored dozens of messages.
• Mark explained his Aura cultivation experiment, and Jirachi worried about his limp left arm before Clear Stream Power restored it.
• After Black replied with a question mark, Jirachi convinced Mark to let it go find him and vanished before Mark could finish speaking.
• While Black flew toward Clear Stream Village, Jirachi appeared, took his phone, and left him with a large wound in his stomach.
• Jirachi used starlight to heal Black’s wound, then disappeared before he could react.

Black survived a sudden attack by Jirachi, who healed his wound before disappearing. Back at Clear Stream Gym, Jirachi confessed to Mark and feared he would stop liking it, but Mark praised its honesty and the lessons it had learned.

• A mysterious yellow-and-silver Pokemon attacked Black, leaving a hole in his abdomen, then healed him before vanishing.
• Black told Cui Xue and Dr. Xia Shuhang that the attacker was the Jirachi he had been messaging, and they hurried toward Xia's Clear Stream Forest.
• Jirachi returned to Clear Stream Gym and worried that Mark would dislike it for attacking an Alliance inspector.
• Jirachi confessed to Mark that it had struck Black and used Wish to heal him, then promised not to do it again.
• Mark gently patted Jirachi's head and said he was pleased that it had learned from his fables and admitted its wrongdoing.

Mark helped Jirachi understand that it had acted too harshly when it punched a League official, while reassuring it that the act did not make it a bad Pokemon. Black and the others arrived at Clear Stream Village, where Jirachi apologized to Black and gave him replacement uniforms before Mew appeared with the group.

• Mark questioned Jirachi about whether it would still have punched the League official and helped it recognize that it had wanted to teach him a lesson, not kill him.

• Black and the Xia Shuhang trio passed the abandoned Hollier Defense Line and saw thousands of Venusaur building a six-layer Thornbush Defense Line.
• Jirachi apologized to Black for hitting him, warned him not to provoke it with question marks, and gave him two League uniforms made with Small Wish.
• Cui Xue and Xia Shuhang discussed Jirachi's wish-granting powers as Mew appeared on Noivern's head.

Jirachi, Mew, and three Alliance officials arrived at Clear Stream Village, where the officials witnessed Jirachi and Mew playing and learned more about Jirachi. After Mark met them at the Pokémon Center, Black confirmed that Jirachi was authentic but asked whether Mark was sure he wanted to register it as his Pokémon.

• Jirachi introduced Mew to Professor Xia Shuhang and Cui Xue, then warned Cui Xue to protect her chocolate candies from Mew.
• Jirachi and Mew chased and fought playfully in the air while the officials recorded them.
• Jirachi corrected Professor Xia Shuhang's notes, describing Mew as its friend and adding details about its favorite things and wishes.
• Jirachi spotted Mark at the Pokémon Center and flew to him, where Mark introduced Aya and the Alliance officials.
• Black told Mark that the officials were certain Jirachi was real, then asked if Mark truly wanted to register it as his Pokémon.

Black warned Mark that the Magma Legion and Aqua Legion might target Jirachi because of the Eye of Truth, and explained why the Alliance had planned to bring them to its headquarters. Mark agreed to visit the headquarters later, after dealing with Mew, the God Tree Space, and Cresselia, leaving Black stunned by his plans and mention of a coming Chaotic Pokemon Tide.

• Mark confirmed that Jirachi had been his Pokemon for several months but had not yet been registered.
• Black revealed his orders to investigate the Hia Kingdom, verify Jirachi, and escort Mark and Jirachi to the World Pokemon Alliance headquarters.
• Black warned that the Magma Legion and Aqua Legion had developed a device to activate Jirachi's Eye of Truth and might already be coming to capture Jirachi.
• Mark, Aya, and Jirachi dismissed the danger, while Mark said he planned to visit the Alliance headquarters in about a month.
• Mark explained that he would first deal with Mew and the God Tree Space, then seek clues about Cresselia, and might delay his trip if the Chaotic Pokemon Tide began early.
• Black was left stunned by Mark's plans and his report that a worldwide Chaotic Pokemon Tide could occur at any time.

Mark told Black, Cui Xue, and Dr. Xia Shuhang about the coming Chaotic Pokemon Tide, time traveler Mi Yang, and the many powerful figures and Pokemon connected to Clear Stream Gym. The group struggled to believe his increasingly outrageous revelations, especially after learning that Flaming was in the village.

• Cui Xue connected Mark’s thornbush defense lines to the coming Chaotic Pokemon Tide and asked why he had not warned the authorities.
• Mark showed that he had emailed the Hia Kingdom, its Pokemon Alliance, and the World Pokemon Alliance, but none had replied.
• Black defended Mark, saying the ignored emails contained data analysis and that warning the authorities was their responsibility, not Mark’s.
• Mark explained Mi Yang, Mew, and other revelations to Black, Cui Xue, and Dr. Xia Shuhang, who reacted with growing shock.
• The three began doubting Mark’s claims as they heard more unbelievable details, including that Flaming had joined Clear Stream Gym.
• The chapter revealed that the Flaming reported in Royal Capital Riel was an impostor sent by Clark, while the real Flaming had left Beyond Corporation and R Organization.

Cui Xue challenged Flaming to a battle to test Mark’s claims, but Flaming’s Pokemon effortlessly defeated her team. As Cui Xue and Black reconsidered whether Mark’s extraordinary stories were true, Mark messaged them that he had captured three members of the Magma Legion and asked them to wait while he trained.

• Mark registered Jirachi and several other Pokemon at the Pokemon Center, then left to train while Jirachi and Mewtwo departed separately.
• Black, Cui Xue, and Doctor Xia Shuhang discussed whether Mark had been telling the truth and decided to test Flaming’s strength.
• Cui Xue challenged Flaming to a standard 3v3 match, and Flaming accepted, sending out Beedrill against her Greninja.
• Beedrill defeated Greninja, and Flaming’s Nidoking then quickly defeated Cui Xue’s Noivern and Ninetales.
• Aya told Cui Xue that Beedrill could undergo Bond Evolution, while Mark messaged the group that he had captured three Magma Legion members and wanted them to wait while he trained.

Mark discovered that Jirachi was becoming increasingly itchy and suspected the cause was connected to its Eye of Truth. He warned Jirachi that using the device tied to the Eye could attract Rayquaza, and the chapter ended with Jirachi blaming Mew for the itching.

• Mark found a listening device near his treehouse, traced it to a Magma Legion hideout, and captured three scouts.
• Mark learned that the scouts had visited Clear Stream Village and met Jirachi before planting the device.
• Jirachi asked Mark to pursue the Eye of Truth device, but Mark warned that using it might draw Rayquaza to them.
• Mark suspected Jirachi had once used the Eye of Truth to create Ground Demons and Ocean Demons to fight Rayquaza.
• Jirachi realized it was itchy all over, burrowed through the soil, and accused Mew of playing a prank on it.

Mark realized Jirachi’s worsening itch was part of its transformation into the master of Clear Stream Forest, as Fallen Sky Mountain and the forest’s power began merging around it. He estimated the process would finish at nightfall, leaving Jirachi to endure at least five more hours of itching.

• Jirachi went to confront Mew over the Itch Powder, but Mew appeared and revealed that it had not used the unopened jar on Jirachi.
• Jirachi tried bathing, cleansing itself with starlight, and using Wish to stop the itching, but the symptoms worsened until Caterpie eased them by organizing the Forest’s Power around its body.
• Mark stopped Caterpie from continuing and explained that Jirachi was undergoing the long-planned transformation to become the master of the forest.
• Mark said Jirachi’s transformation had begun after it openly proclaimed itself as his Pokémon while visiting Clear Stream Village and Clear Stream Forest three days earlier.
• Mark predicted the transformation would finish when night fell, and Jirachi saw that it was only 2:13 in the afternoon.

As Jirachi endured the painful changes brought on by starlight, Mark encouraged it to persist until it chose to continue. The forest shifted into spring, Mark and others felt changes in their Clear Stream Power, and an old man whose power began collapsing escaped an underground Chaos Space and decided to return to Clear Stream Forest.

• Jirachi asked Mark whether it could stop its growth, but after sensing his willingness to let it quit, it decided to keep going and asked him to scold it if it tried to give up.
• Spring arrived throughout Clear Stream Forest and the Three Mountains Area as the wind rose, plants sprouted, rain fell, Beedrill awoke, and Caterpie escaped their enclosure.
• The spring rain eased Jirachi's itching, while Mark, Caterpie, Uncle Qian Three, and Dr. Philin felt changes that made them itch.
• On the Azure Plains, an old man discovered that his Clear Stream Power was collapsing as the forest changed, then escaped the collapsing underground Chaos Space with Machamp.
• The old man remembered a child in a bug catcher outfit and decided to return to Clear Stream Forest after nearly seventy years.

Mi Yang told Old Man Qian that his supposedly dead grandfather, Fighting Knight Qian Cheng, was alive in another parallel world. As Jirachi’s itching subsided, a meteor shower transformed the forest, and Jirachi woke to discover he had gained a new form.

• Mi Yang told Old Man Qian about meeting Qian Cheng in Parallel World Number Fourteen and hearing that he had faked his death and gone into hiding.
• The itching vanished for Old Man Qian, Mark, Caterpie, and Dr. Philin, while Jirachi’s condition worsened and Leafeon helped keep him calm.
• A meteor shower scattered starlight across Clear Stream Forest and the area around Three Mountains as Jirachi fell asleep.
• Jirachi woke at 1:32 a.m., noticed Mark and the others sleeping, and realized that he had grown.
• Jirachi activated his new power and changed into a form with green ribbons and a silver-patterned green cape.

Jirachi recovered from its prolonged itching and discovered its new Forest Guardian form and the Meteor Sword move, which could attack enemies, strengthen nearby allies, and heal them. Leafeon woke after being restored by the move and clung to Jirachi in relief.

• Mew checked on Jirachi, who boasted about enduring the itching and revealed its new Forest Guardian form and Steel and Grass attributes.
• Jirachi tried to fuse with Nihilego but failed, then fused with Spectrier and gained green armor ornaments.
• Jirachi summoned the Meteor Sword and used its new move, striking the ground and surrounding nearby allies with silver starlight that boosted and healed them.
• Jirachi found Mark and Caterpie still asleep from using Aura to sense it, while Leafeon began waking after recovering some strength.
• Leafeon hugged Jirachi tightly in relief, and Jirachi eventually stopped trying to break free.

Jirachi left Mark in Leafeon and Victini’s care, stabilized its newly claimed territory, and captured several Aqua Legion members with Mew. It then reached Miao Miao Mountain and told Bulbasaur Sage it had found a way for it to leave.

• Jirachi asked Leafeon to guard sleeping Mark and complete its gaming daily missions against bots.
• Jirachi released Victini and told it and Leafeon to protect Mark while Jirachi went to Miao Miao Mountain.
• Jirachi and Mew scattered starlight across unstable areas around the Three Mountains Area and Clear Stream Forest to stabilize Jirachi’s territory.
• Jirachi and Mew found four Aqua Legion members, and Mew knocked them unconscious before Jirachi contacted Flaming to handle them.
• Jirachi and Mew entered Miao Miao Mountain through Small Wish and told Bulbasaur Sage that Jirachi had found a way for it to leave.

Jirachi found a way to free Bulbasaur Sage from Miao Miao Mountain by merging the mountain into Fallen Sky Mountain, but paused the attempt after sensing Giant Ivysaur. Jirachi accidentally helped Giant Ivysaur evolve into an Ultra-Giant Venusaur, then remembered to resume the merger.

• Jirachi took Bulbasaur Sage's phone and told it that merging Miao Miao Mountain into Fallen Sky Mountain might let it leave.
• Jirachi began gathering starlight over Miao Miao Mountain, then stopped to search for something it sensed nearby.
• Jirachi found Mark's dormant Giant Ivysaur, which had become its subordinate through Clear Stream Forest's blessings.
• Jirachi instinctively traced a silver-green pattern in the air, and the pattern flowed into Giant Ivysaur and triggered its evolution.
• Giant Ivysaur evolved into a roughly 120-meter Ultra-Giant Venusaur with silver markings and maximum Growth stacks.
• Jirachi shared the news with Mew and Bulbasaur Sage, then remembered the merger and asked Bulbasaur Sage to continue.
