Chapter Summaries

After Milotic was poisoned in battle, Ye Qing had Mewtwo seal the venom and rushed her to a Pokémon Center, while his team gained strength and Manaphy joined him. The chapter ended with Su Qi meeting Becan'er Guyuetao to propose a deal, and Gu Yuetao asking whether Su Qi represented the Dragon Country Pokémon League or Team R.

• Su Qi approached Becan'er Guyuetao with a deal, and Gu Yuetao asked whether she was representing the Pokémon League or Team R.

Su Qi tried to recruit Gu Yuetao to kill Ye Qing, while Ye Qing learned that Jirachi's Crystal was in Britain and that Jirachi would awaken when the Millennium Comet appeared in half a month. After deciding to travel there despite the danger, Ye Qing rested and healed his Pokémon, then took Gardevoir for a walk.

• Su Qi offered Gu Yuetao a deal to kill Ye Qing, but Gu Yuetao refused and left the conversation open for later.

• Ye Qing planned to travel to Britain on Kyogre and spent the following days arranging care for his Pokémon's injuries.
• Ye Qing took Gardevoir for a walk, and Gardevoir stopped to look into a musical instrument shop.

• Gardevoir chose a violin at a music shop, and Ye Qing ordered a custom one for her for ten thousand yuan.
• The shop owner asked Gardevoir to promote his shop and offered to teach her violin while the instrument was being made, and Ye Qing agreed.

• Gengar said he wanted to become a kindergarten principal and scare children, but Ye Qing rejected the idea, prompting Gengar to run away in tears.
• Garchomp suggested slaughtering all the Simisage, and Ye Qing immediately refused.

• Ye Qing rejected Garchomp and Slaking's extravagant wishes but approved Aggron and Milotic's ambitions, then teased Garchomp by arranging for dozens of Simisage to challenge him.
• Ye Qing called Dragon Tamer about Elite Four selection and learned that he needed major League contributions and strength; Dragon Tamer listed Ye Qing's past misconduct and offered to wipe his record clean if he retrieved Jirachi.

Ye Qing captured Salamence and arranged for Garchomp and Mew to look after her, then spent a peaceful day sketching with his Pokémon. When the Dragon Tamer told him Jirachi would soon awaken, Ye Qing set off alone to find Manaphy at the Ocean Battle Tower.

• Ye Qing gave the battered Salamence to Garchomp to care for and secretly hoped they would eventually produce Pseudo-Legendary eggs.
• Ye Qing tricked Mew into helping Salamence by pretending the television had broken, and Mew altered Salamence’s memories to make her loyal to the household.

• Ye Qing decided to visit the Ocean Battle Tower to find Manaphy and asked Gardevoir to guide the way after Garchomp admitted he could not remember its location.

Ye Qing reached the Ocean Battle Tower, reunited with Manaphy, and asked it to summon Kyogre if he faced danger during the search for Jirachi’s Original Body Crystal.

• Zhang Sisi explained that the Jirachi news had been publicized to draw many forces together, and Ye Qing warned he might kill too many of them.

Ye Qing rejected the countries’ plans to use Jirachi’s wishes and declared that he would claim Jirachi for himself, with Mewtwo’s power speaking through him. He left the gathering as an independent combatant, while the other Trainers reconsidered their plans and Walker appeared in a guarded, candlelit chamber.

• Zhang Sisi told Ye Qing that Dragon Country, Ice Country, and he were each meant to receive one of Jirachi’s wishes, and that other countries might bring Legendary Pokémon.
• Angered that everyone treated Jirachi as a tool for their wishes, Ye Qing announced that he wanted all three wishes for himself.

• Walker sent the Elite Four away with five crystals, radar detectors, and orders to support the fight against Ye Qing, while privately admitting that all five crystals were fake.
• Gu Yuetao warned a blond-bearded man that Ye Qing had killed his predecessor, but the man dismissed her concern and flew off on Metagross.

• Gardevoir stopped Garchomp near the camp, where Weigelide and his Metagross had already detected them, and Ye Qing prepared to fight.

Ye Qing and Weigelide prepared their Pokémon for a battle in a dark forest as the Multinational Allied Forces approached Britain. Ye Qing’s team detected a fast red attacker, and Gardevoir used Psychic to intercept its strike.

• Weigelide Mega Evolved Metagross and Scizor while Ye Qing Mega Evolved Aggron and Garchomp, keeping Diancie in reserve to avoid revealing her presence.
• Dragon Tamer persuaded Zhang Sisi that Ye Qing had drawn a line between them to protect them, and she reconsidered his reasons for opposing the forces seeking Jirachi.
• Ye Qing’s team advanced through the forest as a swift red Pokémon appeared and vanished in the darkness.
• Ye Qing recalled Mega Aggron to leave an opening, and a red, white-trailing attacker rushed at his back.
• Mega Garchomp tried to intercept the attacker, but Gardevoir used Psychic to block its path.

Ye Qing and his Pokémon defeated Weigelide’s ambush in the forest, with Mega Diancie devastating the battlefield. After learning his position had been exposed, Ye Qing ordered his team to search the area and opened Weigelide’s briefcase.

• Gengar used Disable to help Infernape trap Mega Scizor while Gardevoir and Mega Aggron stopped Escavalier and Bisharp from attacking Ye Qing.
• A magnetic force pinned Mega Aggron, but Mega Garchomp blocked Mega Metagross’s Flash Cannon and clashed with it.
• Weigelide recognized Ye Qing and secretly triggered an alarm, but Ye Qing sent out Diancie and defeated the attackers with Diamond Storm.
• Gardevoir collected the Mega Stones and Key Stone, and Ye Qing ordered his Pokémon to clear the battlefield quickly.
• Gardevoir could not open Weigelide’s briefcase, so Mega Garchomp cut through its lock.

Ye Qing took a fake Jirachi crystal and fled through the mountains while Walker ordered his forces to hunt him down and stalled the allied forces. Blaziken caught Ye Qing’s scent and led Morikawa Minako after him, while Ye Qing prepared to ambush a squad ahead.

• Ye Qing discovered the dark purple crystal was fake but took it to confuse his pursuers, then had Gardevoir mask their scent as they escaped.
• Walker learned that Ye Qing had killed Weigelide and ordered his forces to pursue Ye Qing, while Gu Yuetao worried about the fake in her briefcase.
• Ye Qing reached Britain’s largest mountain range as allied forces entered the heartland, and Walker escaped the Dragon Tamer and Zhang Sisi while his subordinates held them off.
• Morikawa Minako went sightseeing with Blaziken, who grew restless until he caught Ye Qing’s faint scent near a spring and urged her to follow him.
• Ye Qing spotted a three-person squad ahead and signaled Garchomp to use Dig to reach them and knock them unconscious.

Ye Qing and Morikawa Minako joined forces while battles over the supposed Jirachi Crystal cases spread across the mountain range. With ten hours left, Mizuno Jeff confronted Ye Qing over his case and agreed to a battle with special restrictions.

• Gengar stealthily used Hypnosis to incapacitate enemies while Blaziken fought through the mountain guards on his way to Ye Qing.
• Morikawa Minako and Blaziken encountered Ye Qing, whose Infernape immediately clashed with Blaziken before Ye Qing called for them to leave together.
• Dragon Tamer intercepted Becan'er Guyuetao, and she answered his attack with Altaria and Mega Evolution as fighting over the cases erupted across the mountains.
• Walker fought four Elite Four members at once while Zhang Sisi defended herself amid the chaotic battles over the cases.
• After Ye Qing and Morikawa Minako reached the mountainside of the highest peak, Mizuno Jeff appeared with Heatran and showed interest in Ye Qing's case.
• Ye Qing proposed a restricted battle with Mizuno Jeff, offering the case if he won and demanding that Mizuno Jeff help him fight if he lost; Mizuno Jeff accepted after Ye Qing invoked Mega Diancie.

Ye Qing and his companions fought their way to the summit as Trainers clashed over briefcases containing fake crystals. After separating from Morikawa Minako and Blaziken, Ye Qing disappeared into the blizzard while a giant Pokémon sat deep inside a guarded cave.

• Ye Qing sent Salamence to defeat Mizuno Jeff’s Scizor, and Mizuno Jeff agreed to protect him until his elders arrived.
• Ye Qing, Morikawa Minako, and Mizuno Jeff reached the snowy summit, where Trainers fought amid widespread casualties and discovered that many briefcase crystals were fake.
• A crazed Trainer charged Ye Qing, so Ye Qing handed the briefcase to Mizuno Jeff and had Gardevoir take him and Morikawa Minako to shelter.
• Yuan Wei tried to escape with a briefcase but was stopped by the Dragon Tamer; Aerodactyl’s Air Slash revealed Yuan Wei’s crystal was fake and wounded him.
• Guards stood watch outside a vast cave, where a six-story-tall Pokémon sat in the darkness.

Ye Qing and the remaining attackers reached the summit as the Millennium Comet appeared, while Walker prepared to make a wish inside Regigigas's cave. Regigigas emerged at full strength to defend the entrance, and White Kyurem arrived as Zekrom began fighting him.

• Walker and Becan'er Guyuetao rallied the battered defenders outside Regigigas's cave, and Walker said he did not regret bringing Jirachi back to their country.
• The Millennium Comet appeared, and Ye Qing sent Mega Diancie charging toward the summit as Madison rode Zekrom through the defenses.
• With five minutes left on the timer, Walker ordered the defenders to attack and returned to the cave to make the wish.
• Regigigas emerged after his Slow Start had worn off, and the guards knelt as Ye Qing decided to let Zekrom test him first.
• Zekrom activated Overclock Mode and struck at Regigigas, while Mizuno Jeff, Williams, and the Dragon Tamer pushed toward the cave.
• White Kyurem flew out from the far side of the mountain as the battle between Zekrom and Regigigas began.

Ye Qing rescued Jirachi from Walker and faced a crowd demanding that he hand her over. As the mob prepared to attack, Garchomp spotted a weak point in the cave wall as a possible escape route.

• Madison recalled Zekrom into a Master Ball, leaving White Kyurem for Regigigas to grab while Ye Qing and others rushed into the mountain.
• Walker tried to force Jirachi to grant his wish, but Ye Qing arrived with Mega Diancie and Garchomp, rescued her, and destroyed the machine.
• Ye Qing soothed Jirachi and refused to hand her over when the crowd threatened him, while Mega Diancie, Gardevoir, and Garchomp guarded him.
• Williams offered to support Ye Qing in exchange for one wish, but Ye Qing rejected him, and Morikawa Minako was held back by her family.
• A man urged the crowd to charge together, and Garchomp pointed out a thin section of rock as a possible way through.

Ye Qing escaped the cave with Mega Diancie's help, but Madison and the others pursued him and demanded that he surrender Jirachi. With Manaphy summoning ocean Pokémon to defend them, Ye Qing tried to stall until Kyogre or Lugia arrived, while his enemies recognized his plan.

• Ye Qing used Mega Diancie's Diamond Storm to blast an opening in the cave, then escaped on Garchomp as Diancie shielded the group from attacks.
• Madison chased Ye Qing with Pidgeot, while Regigigas continued holding White Kyurem back and the others followed through the opening.
• Ye Qing had Gardevoir repeatedly use Teleport to escape Pidgeot, reaching the sea after Gardevoir was nearly exhausted.
• Ye Qing released Manaphy, which summoned ocean Pokémon and brought a vast crowd of them to gather behind the group.
• Madison, Williams, Darkrai, and other pursuers arrived on Zekrom and demanded that Ye Qing hand over Jirachi.
• An Asian man identified Manaphy as the Prince of the Sea and accused Ye Qing of buying time for it to summon Kyogre.

Ye Qing and the ocean Pokémon fought the human Allied Forces to protect Jirachi, while Zekrom and Darkrai overwhelmed his defenders. As the battle turned against them, Jirachi wanted to grant a wish, but Ye Qing insisted it choose freely; Williams then ordered Darkrai to seize it.

• Madison sent Zekrom into battle, and Ye Qing rallied the ocean Pokémon and his own team to defend Jirachi.
• Dai Shan, Yan Ji, Li Weisi, and other Tower Masters watched from a distance while protecting civilians, and Mega Diancie and Infernape were overwhelmed by the enemy Pokémon.
• Gengar used Perish Song to defeat dozens of Mega-Evolved Pokémon, then Gardevoir rescued him as Jirachi told Ye Qing it wanted to grant a wish.
• Zekrom struck Mega Diancie from the sky, and Madison and Williams approached Ye Qing after the ocean Pokémon pulled her from the sea.
• Ye Qing refused to let anyone force Jirachi to grant a wish, and Williams ordered Darkrai to snatch it.

Ye Qing and Jirachi were rescued from the Allied Forces when Darkrai and a Kyogre summoned by Manaphy turned the battle around. After escaping to a deserted island, Ye Qing fell asleep while Jirachi played with the Pokémon, and Diancie copied his stern warning against asking Jirachi for wishes.

• Ye Qing stood his ground as the Allied Forces attacked, and Darkrai appeared to shield him and the injured Pokémon.
• Darkrai fought Zekrom while Madison and Williams charged toward Ye Qing, but Manaphy summoned Kyogre from the sea.

• Manaphy invited Ye Qing to ride Kyogre, and Kyogre carried him, Jirachi, and the others away toward the deep sea.
• On a deserted island, Ye Qing fell asleep from exhaustion while Jirachi played with Diancie and the other Pokémon; Infernape reminded Diancie not to make a wish, and she mimicked Ye Qing's warning.

Ye Qing reunited with Jirachi and learned it would sleep for another thousand years after seven days, while the Pokémon League and Giovanni’s group discussed Jirachi’s rescue and their plans for Hoopa. Ye Qing stayed on the island with Jirachi, and Giovanni learned the Masters Eight tournament would take place on the island where Hoopa was sealed.

• Jirachi granted Diancie’s wish for cake, then asked Manaphy what it wished for; Manaphy could not think of one.
• Jirachi explained that it would sleep for a thousand years, and Ye Qing told the Pokémon that he had used Celebi to travel back in time to meet Jirachi.
• Ye Qing said he would spend Jirachi’s seven waking days on the uninhabited island and let Jirachi decide whether to grant his wish.
• Cynthia learned that Ye Qing had rescued Jirachi, and she decided to leave the matter aside while they sought another way to deal with Hoopa.
• Giovanni learned that opening the ancient ruins required Arceus’s Power of Overcoming and ordered Jiang Zimo to capture Hoopa’s true body.
• Jiang Zimo told Giovanni that Hoopa had been sealed on Pokémon League Island, where the Masters Eight tournament was also scheduled to take place.

Giovanni committed his remaining forces to a risky operation, while Walker accepted defeat after the battle for Jirachi and ordered the losses turned into a lesson for future Trainers. On the island, Ye Qing refused Lina’s offer to make a wish, and the chapter ended with Mewtwo arriving and asking Jirachi about his wishes.

• Giovanni told Jiang Zimo that their operation had to succeed or they would die trying, as the organization faced ruin after repeated setbacks.
• Walker acknowledged that Ye Qing had taken Jirachi, paid the battle’s costs in full, and ordered a documentary made to teach future generations through blood and hatred.
