"What's wrong?"
Ye Qing followed Wang Yanying's gaze and discovered that the previously blank wish tag on Jirachi's head was now covered in writing composed of Unown shapes.
Ye Qing certainly couldn't read this writing, but he could roughly guess that it was the wish he had just made.
Looking at the somewhat weakened Jirachi, Ye Qing asked tentatively, "How are you feeling, Jirachi? Are you all right?"
Jirachi rubbed its eyes sleepily. "I'm fine, but I'm so sleepy. You'll have to wait until tomorrow to make another wish~"
Ye Qing stroked Jirachi's little face. "There's no hurry to make wishes. You've been playing all day, too. Get some sleep."
"Okay."
Jirachi nodded obediently, wrapped itself in the two ribbons behind it, and fell fast asleep.
"Gardevoir will keep watch tonight. The rest of you should get some sleep, too."
Ye Qing looked up at the comet. This was the second day. Which day would the bandits appear?
But now Celebi had recovered. With Bond Infernape and Mega Gengar working alongside it, Ye Qing really couldn't think of anyone in this era who could defeat him unless a Legendary Pokémon appeared.
"Mil~"
Milotic volunteered. She didn't particularly feel like sleeping tonight, so she wanted to keep watch at the village entrance.
"All right, go ahead."
Ye Qing didn't insist on this point. After all, it made no difference who kept watch.
"Cough, cough!"
Just as Ye Qing finished making arrangements and was about to head back to sleep, Master Wang ran out of the workshop, coughing.
Seeing Master Wang's face blackened with soot, Ye Qing couldn't help recoiling several steps in fright.
"Ye Qing, it worked! I finally did it! Ahahaha!"
Unable to contain his joy, Master Wang grabbed Ye Qing's arms and shook him repeatedly.
"Come take a look!
