After learning of a rumored Legendary Pokémon near Shennongjia, Cheng Tian and Su Han traveled into the rainy mountains to investigate. They stopped for the night near a vast cyclone, while two powerful figures fought inside the storm above them.

• Long Weixi told Cheng Tian and Su Han that a Legendary Pokémon was rumored to live near Shennongjia, possibly a huge bird.

• Two figures clashed amid fierce winds, rain, and lightning inside the storm clouds over Shennongjia.

Tornadus endured a month of fighting with a young Zapdos whose powerful father kept it from retaliating. It tricked Zapdos into leaving, then rested on Shennong Mountain as the rain finally stopped.

• Tornadus fought Zapdos through storms over Shennong Mountain, holding back because Zapdos had a powerful father.
• Zapdos struck Tornadus with a charged Thunder and believed it had defeated it, then flew away.
• Tornadus re-formed on the mountaintop and realized its injuries would keep it from ending the storm at once.
• Tornadus summoned clouds to hide and recover as the dark clouds dispersed and the month-long rain stopped.

• Cheng Tian walked toward Tornadus and praised it as righteous, kind, and warm-hearted despite its fierce appearance, embarrassing Tornadus.

Cheng Tian and Su Han found Tornadus badly injured on Shennong Mountain, and Milotic healed it with Life Dew. Tornadus stopped trying to drive them away, and after they promised to help, it began explaining how it had been wounded.

• Tornadus tried to scare Cheng Tian and Su Han away, but its injuries made its wind blades disappear.
• Su Han offered Healing Spray, and Cheng Tian offered to help treat Tornadus with a Heal Ball.
• Cheng Tian sent out Milotic, whose Life Dew rapidly healed most of Tornadus's wounds.
• Tornadus became captivated by Milotic and decided to let Cheng Tian and Su Han stay on the mountain.
• Cheng Tian asked who had injured Tornadus, and Tornadus began telling the story after making them promise to keep it secret.

Tornadus explained that Divine Offices protected their holders and could be taken only by killing them, though he did not know where they originated. After Milotic healed him, Tornadus tried to keep Cheng Tian and Su Han from leaving, then pointed them toward a place where he had sensed signs of life.

• Cheng Tian and Su Han questioned Tornadus about the Zapdos he had fought, and Rotom explained what Divine Offices were and how they could be seized.
• Tornadus warned Cheng Tian that contenders risked disaster if they took a Divine Office without enough strength to keep it.

• Milotic finished healing Tornadus, and Tornadus tried unsuccessfully to persuade Cheng Tian and Su Han to stay.
• Cheng Tian asked Tornadus for leads on special Pokémon, and Tornadus pointed them toward a place where he had sensed life after seeing shooting stars.

Cheng Tian, Su Han, and their Pokémon searched Meteor Falls for clues about the meteors Tornadus had mentioned. Greninja sensed something behind the waterfall, and the group crossed through it to explore what lay beyond.

• Su Han and Cheng Tian chose Meteor Falls as their best lead after Rotom found the attraction on its navigation map.
• Cheng Tian and Su Han visited the crowded waterfall, then secretly rode Milotic toward it while Gengar concealed them.
• Greninja used Mind Reader and told Cheng Tian there was something behind the waterfall.
• Cheng Tian had Milotic use Waterfall to carry the group through the falls, leaving them to examine the hidden place beyond.

Cheng Tian and Su Han explored a vast maze inside Meteor Falls and discovered a hidden cavern filled with glowing, exceptionally pure Moon Stones. As Greninja sensed danger, numerous pairs of scarlet eyes appeared in the darkness around them.

• Cheng Tian and Su Han entered the space behind the waterfall, using Noibat to scout and Kirlia's Flash to light their way.
• Cheng Tian led the group through branching tunnels, where they battled Zubat swarms and found that the wild Pokémon grew stronger deeper inside.
• Kirlia sensed something hidden, and Greninja used Mind Reader to locate a Lunatone disguised as a white rock in the wall.
• Cheng Tian sent out Aggron to widen the opening behind Lunatone, revealing a vast, naturally lit cavern.
• Su Han pulled a glowing Moon Stone from the cavern wall, and Rotom identified it as exceptionally pure.
• Greninja sensed danger and formed Water Shuriken as pairs of scarlet eyes appeared in the darkness.

Cheng Tian and Su Han fought a swarm of Lunatone while giving Kirlia a chance to gain battle experience. After Kirlia endured a dangerous close-range attack and struck back, she evolved into Gardevoir.

• Cheng Tian and Su Han prepared for the restless Lunatone, and Cheng Tian gave Su Han his Wristband so Kirlia could train.
• Cheng Tian baited the Lunatone into attacking, while Gengar, Greninja, Sylveon, and Tinkaton protected the group and Kirlia faced the swarm.
• Kirlia used Reflect to withstand a Gyro Ball charge, then continued battling as Su Han directed her to heal herself and use Misty Terrain and Dazzling Gleam.
• A Lunatone surprised Kirlia with a point-blank Gyro Ball, but Kirlia retaliated with Shadow Ball and Ice Punch, knocking it out.
• Kirlia glowed with a brilliant white light and evolved into Gardevoir, stirring unease in Gengar.

Gardevoir completed its evolution and battled five Lunatone, then Mega Evolved under Su Han’s guidance to overwhelm most of them. The sudden surge of psychic power caused Gardevoir pain, so Su Han ended the transformation and Gengar took over the fight.

• Gardevoir completed its final evolution, and Gengar felt both heartache at its growth and pride in its strength.
• Su Han sent Gardevoir against the five remaining Lunatone, and it used Energy Ball, Confusion, Shadow Ball, Reflect, Light Screen, and Teleport to fight them.
• After a Lunatone struck Gardevoir, Su Han gave it a Mega Stone and Mega Evolved it with her Key Stone.
• Mega Gardevoir used Psychic and Energy Ball to badly damage the Lunatone, leaving only two still standing.
• Cheng Tian explained that Mega Evolution’s psychic power was causing Gardevoir pain, so Su Han ended the transformation and Gengar caught it as it collapsed.
• Gengar comforted Gardevoir, then faced the battered Lunatone and prepared to finish the battle.

Cheng Tian and Su Han discovered that a level 50 Solrock had trapped them in a vast illusion and fought it. Solrock detonated itself before they could finish the battle, leaving Greninja gravely wounded.

• Cheng Tian and Su Han rested with their Pokémon in a cavern, then continued through the tunnels when the cold drove them onward.
• Cheng Tian realized they were walking in circles, and Su Han used her Aura to locate a Solrock creating the illusion.
• Su Han distracted Cheng Tian and the Pokémon, then struck behind them with an Aura Sphere, revealing the level 50 Solrock and the enormous cavern around them.
• Solrock blinded the group and attacked; Greninja fought back with Swords Dance and Night Slash, slamming Solrock into a wall.
• Solrock unleashed Explosion, and Gengar shielded Cheng Tian and Su Han with Protect, but Greninja was blasted into a wall and left gravely wounded.

After Greninja was badly injured by Solrock’s Self-Destruct, Cheng Tian and Su Han began retreating through Meteor Falls, but a powerful Hydreigon emerged from a hidden cavern and attacked them. Cheng Tian recognized the level 64 Hydreigon as an Elite Four-level threat and prepared to fight for their lives.

• Cheng Tian and Su Han treated Greninja’s severe injuries, and Cheng Tian shared half of its pain through their Bond form.
• After Greninja was recalled to recover, Cheng Tian agreed with Su Han that they should leave Meteor Falls and return later.
• A roar led Cheng Tian and Su Han to discover a vast underground canyon behind an opening blasted into the rock wall.
• Cheng Tian tackled Su Han out of the way as a Hyper Beam shot from the canyon and struck the cavern wall.
• A level 64 female Hydreigon flew out of the canyon, and Cheng Tian and Su Han prepared to face her.

Cheng Tian and Su Han struggled to survive Hydreigon’s attack while their Pokémon tried to restrain Noibat’s instinctive blood feud with it. The trainers coordinated four layers of Misty Terrain to suppress Hydreigon, leaving the battle poised to continue in the Fairy-filled cavern.

• Cheng Tian grabbed Su Han and fled Hydreigon’s charge as their Pokémon moved to shield them.
• Noibat attacked Hydreigon, which fixated on her and ignored Gengar’s Sludge Bomb; Hydreigon knocked Noibat from the air.
• Cheng Tian and the others restrained Noibat with Florges’s Vine Whip after she tried to charge back into the fight.
• Cheng Tian and Su Han recognized that they had to coordinate to weaken Hydreigon, whose level was far above theirs.
• Cheng Tian and Su Han ordered their Pokémon to establish Misty Terrain, and four layers of Fairy energy left Hydreigon feeling suppressed and panicked.

Cheng Tian and Su Han’s team fought Hydreigon, with Mega Aggron taking the front line while the others attacked and supported it. Tinkaton was knocked out, and Hydreigon’s Tri Attack then targeted Sylveon.

• Gengar changed its typing to Fairy and Ice and took Hydreigon’s Levitate to better withstand Dragon-type attacks.
• Cheng Tian Mega Evolved Aggron to strengthen the team’s front line against Hydreigon.
• Mega Aggron and Tinkaton attacked Hydreigon while the rest of the team struck from range and Milotic disrupted its attacks.
• Hydreigon used Body Slam and Flamethrower to knock Tinkaton out, increasing the pressure on Mega Aggron.
• Hydreigon launched Tri Attack at Togekiss, which dodged with Extreme Speed, then targeted Sylveon with another Tri Attack.

Cheng Tian and the others struggled against the berserk Hydreigon until he ordered everyone through a breach to escape its Draco Meteor. He rescued Rotom but was badly injured in the collapsing cavern, and the group emerged with Hydreigon trapped behind the rubble.

• Sylveon was knocked out after Hydreigon’s Tri Attack inflicted a burn, leaving Cheng Tian’s side increasingly overwhelmed.
• Mega Aggron, Gengar, and Noibat wounded Hydreigon, but the dragon grew more violent as its injuries worsened.
• Cheng Tian ordered everyone through the breach when Hydreigon unleashed Draco Meteor, then turned back to carry Rotom to safety.
• Cheng Tian and Rotom dodged the falling meteors as the cavern collapsed, and Togekiss helped push them through the breach before rubble sealed it.
• Cheng Tian emerged with stones embedded in his back, while Togekiss’s wing was injured; Su Han prepared to treat them as Cheng Tian’s Mega Evolution ended.

Cheng Tian and Su Han escaped Hydreigon by jumping into the canyon and survived the perilous descent with help from their Pokémon. At the bottom, Cheng Tian fell asleep, and Su Han began arranging for the group to rest and treat his wounds.

• Cheng Tian and Su Han realized their injured Pokémon could not stop Hydreigon and chose the canyon as their last chance to survive.
• Gengar distracted Hydreigon with Pokéblocks while Cheng Tian and Su Han jumped into the abyss, followed by Gengar and Noibat.
• Su Han used her Aura to guide Togekiss as it carried them down, with Gengar and Noibat helping support it.
• Togekiss crashed to the canyon floor, and Su Han shielded Cheng Tian from the impact.
• Cheng Tian fell asleep after confirming they were safe, and Su Han released the Pokémon and asked Gengar to light a fire so she could treat his wounds.

Su Han treated Cheng Tian and the injured Pokémon after they became trapped underground, then rested with them as they waited for a way out. When she woke, her Aura had grown stronger, and she discovered a strange black rock that absorbed her Aura.

• Su Han used Gengar, Greninja, and Milotic to treat Cheng Tian's wounds and help him recover.
• Su Han and the Pokémon tended to the injured team, but dwindling Pokéblocks and Hydreigon blocking the way left them with no clear escape route.
• Su Han and the Pokémon huddled together for warmth and fell asleep underground.
• Su Han woke, found that her Aura's range and power had increased, and used it to explore the darkness.
• Su Han touched a black, metal-like rock, which began absorbing her Aura until she pulled away.

Su Han awakened Jirachi by channeling her Aura into a strange stone, and learned that the Pokémon had come from outer space to keep a promise to a mysterious little kitty. Jirachi believed Su Han might be the person it had been waiting for because she possessed the same power as the kitty, leaving Su Han unsure of their connection.

• Su Han poured her Aura into the black stone until it turned golden and shattered, revealing a small Pokémon.
• Gengar, Gardevoir, Noibat, Aggron, and the other Pokémon rushed toward the newcomer, but Su Han stopped them and approached it peacefully.
• The Pokémon introduced himself as Jirachi and said he had come to Earth to keep a promise to a little kitty.
• Jirachi explained that the kitty had told him to wait for someone with the same power, and he recognized that power in Su Han.
• Su Han told Jirachi about her travels and Legendary Pokémon, and Jirachi proudly revealed that he could grant wishes.

Su Han met Jirachi, which offered to grant her wishes but could not change the past or future. Jirachi sent Su Han, Cheng Tian, and their Pokémon back aboveground, and Su Han urged Jirachi to make its own wish come true.

• Su Han asked Jirachi to bring her mother back, but Jirachi explained that it could not affect the past or future.
• Jirachi gave Su Han a Key Stone and explained that it had awakened because Su Han's power felt familiar to it.
• Jirachi said it had come to Earth with another space-born being and was growing sleepy because it could not draw energy from space.
• Su Han chose to wish for herself, Cheng Tian, and their Pokémon to return aboveground, saying that what she wanted most was already by her side.
• Jirachi granted Su Han's wish, and Su Han asked Jirachi to fulfill a wish of its own before they disappeared.

Su Han and Cheng Tian escaped Meteor Falls with Jirachi’s help, recovered at a Pokémon Center, and learned that their Pokémon were stable. After deciding to rest, they saw photos of Bai Yun and Lin Lin on an outing and called Bai Yun.

• As Jirachi fell asleep and began to petrify, it made its first wish: to see Su Han again when it next woke.
• Su Han brought the injured Cheng Tian and their Pokémon to a Pokémon Center, where the nurse and Chansey began treating them.
• After waking, Cheng Tian learned that Su Han had met Jirachi and wished for them both to escape the canyon; she showed him the matching Wristband and Key Stone Jirachi had given her.
