A Legendary Week!

Day 4

Day 4

"Ah!" Ash stretched, "That was a nice sleep! How are you doing Pikachu?"

"Darn, I was just about to shock you," Pikachu fake-pouted.

"One of the reasons I got up," said Ash.

"Oh well," said Pikachu, "I guess it can wait until tomorrow,"

"Man," said Ash thoughtfully, "I wish I could just get up whenever I want and not have to worry about missing breakfast."

"Did you say wish?"

Ash looked up. While they had been talking, Jirachi had come into the room. "Oh, hi Jirachi!"

"Hi, Ash!" said Jirachi, "Sorry for interrupting, I just heard you say wish and had to come over here,"

"It's ok," said Ash, "I was just joking,"

"I know," said Jirachi, "but it gives me an excuse to come here. After all, I am the wish Pokemon."

"Wait a minute," said Ash, "shouldn't you still be sleeping? Has it been 1000 years already?"

Jirachi laughed. "It hasn't been quite that long yet, but Arceus lets me wake up to come here every year,"

"That's nice," said Ash, "I thought you just slept for that whole time,"

"Speaking of that," said Jirachi, "could you say hi to Max for me? I'm sure he misses me, and I probably won't get the chance to send him another message,"

"Sure!" said Ash, "I know he'll be super happy to hear from you,"

"Thanks! And maybe you can convince Arceus to let me visit sometime?" asked Jirachi a little nervously.

Ash laughed. "I'll try, but couldn't you just wish for it?"

"No," said Jirachi sadly, "I can't grant wishes for myself, I can only do it for others,"

"Then couldn't I just wish for it?" asked Ash.

"Oh," said Jirachi, not having thought of that idea, "yeah, I think you can! Could you do it for me please?"

"Sure!" said Ash, "Jirachi, I wish that you would be able to visit Max!"

One of Jirachi's wish tags glowed, signifying that the wish had been successful. "Thanks so much Ash!" said Jirachi, "Would you like a wish? I would be happy to give you one!"

Ash considered it for a moment, "I can't really think of anything I want right now... Maybe later?"

"That's fine," said Jirachi, "I know it takes a while to pick a wish. Thanks again, Ash! See you later!"

"Bye Jirachi!"

"You sure are popular with Legendaries aren't you Ash?" asked Pikachu.

Ash shrugged, "I guess so,"

"How are you doing Ash?" asked Rayquaza.

"I'm doing great, how about you?" asked Ash.

"It's been a little more relaxing since Kyogure and Groudon calmed down." said Rayquaza, "It would be nice if they stopped bickering every once in a while, but I can't complain much, I know Arceus has to deal with Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina all the time,"

"They still fight?" asked Ash worriedly.

"Don't worry," replied Rayquaza, "they aren't fighting in the sense of hitting and shooting attacks at each other. They just get into a lot of arguments and rarely agree on anything."
