| "Ah, so this is Jirachi. Looking cheery." |
 |
| Speaking of which, the remakes are out now! |
30 times to get the right Jirachi. Yes, that's quite a lot more than soft-resetting for a Celebi.
 |
| Impressive. Well, almost impressive. |
 |
| Due to Azuriland's stat calculator being bugged, I have to use another stat calculator. This is what I'll be running. |

My playlist: How Are You Recently? (最近好吗)
It's another ordinary evening at the popular trainer hang-out city of Kalos, Kiloude, where trainers visit the Battle Maison in order to prove themselves worthy in the professional battle scene, enter the coliseum known as the Battle Spot to get a taste of professional battling, and roam around the Friend Safari parks based on their friends and acquaintances' Trainer Codes.
Wizzy is one of those trainers. He walked out of the Battle Spot, along with his Medicham, Mistrome and his Gardevoir, Sorcerise. He appeared to be somewhat pessimistic, as he reflected on his recent losses.
"Psychic-types are useless...?! I'll show them when I got my hands on Mewtwo..." thought Wizzy.
"Don't think too radically. You said that Legendary Pokemon do not solve problems in the Battle Spot. Plus, the last time you faced Mewtwo, you almost suffered from a psionic fatigue." advised Sorcerise.
Meanwhile, up in the sky, there were two giant, metallic levitating objects, then descended slowly, exposing their tucked feet when levitating, and as they landed, they let go a large thump which is as loud as it was caused by a Tyranitar's Earthquake or a Gyarados' Outrage. These objects were Wizzy's two Metagross, one in a metallic blue hue with a iron cross on its forehead, named Endurer, and another in a shiny silver tint with a yellow cross, named Sleeky.
"First time seeing you two landing together... Impressive." said Wizzy.
"Put yourself back together, Wizzy. You should feel happier than a Ludicolo when you see a Pokemon that is, let me think, unique-looking as me." said Sleeky.
"Yes, shiny Pokemon. I don't think that's going to cheer me up." replied Wizzy.
"Remember what you said about the riddle you heard by Cresselia? The second Sprite will appear in this night." said Endurer.
"The Wishmaker... Jirachi! I can feel its presence descending upon Kalos, and I heard it appears in a 'splendorous night sky'. I wonder where in this region can we see constellations..." said the Embrace Pokemon.
"I believe it's the exterior of Frost Cavern. I recalled seeing a comet at there..." thought Wizzy, then commands his Gardevoir: "Sorcerise, Teleport me to there."
"As you wish, young master. Before we go, what's your wish when... Nevermind, I already understand what you're wishing for." said Sorcerise.
The Gardevoir chanted an incantation which locks Wizzy into a state of immobility, along with his two Metagross. Wizzy and his Pokemon then teleported away.
"Uh, are you sure you are going to leave me behind? Wizzy?" asked Mistrome in confusion.
On the other hand, Mixia, the Ghost Trainer, arrived back in Laverre after a day of catching and evolving non-Ghost-type Pokemon, in order to fill up her Pokedex. While she's looking optimistic, she's also exhausted after going through the hustle and bustle of having to catch Pokemon throughout Kalos, and evolving them at various places, from ramming into Hordes to looking for Audino to beat up in the Battle Chateau.
"And... that's for today, I suppose." said Mixia after looking at her Pokedex.
She sat down on one of the large mushrooms implanted in the enigmatic city, and closed her eyes in order to reflect on the last few days of her activity.
"Looks like finishing up the Pokedex is going to take more than a year for me to get it done."
"But once I got 700 of them, if that's the criteria, I'll finally get my hands on a Shiny Charm, so I'll show Wizzy that I have superior Shiny Pokemon, but in this case, Ghosts. I wonder when I'll get a shiny Yamask."
"Hold on, Wizzy? I used to bluff how superior Ghosts are compared to Psychic-types, but after that after-battle discussion with Egene, I realised that I do show sympathy to them like my sympathy towards the underused ones. Hmm... maybe I'll go check out how he's doing, and perhaps mark my lips on... wait, don't ever try to think of this, Mixia."
She then notices her bare midriff growling. "All those thinking is making me hungry. A bowl of oatmeal with Liechi bits and Roseli essence should be enough for tonight's dinner. Geez, how much weight am I losing?" said Mixia as she stares at her stomach, then ran back to her house to prepare for tonight's dinner.
Back to Wizzy's perspective, he and his Pokemon arrived at Dendemille, telekinetically. A wind chime-shaped Pokemon, Chimecho, flew towards Wizzy.
"Master! I've sensed the Starry Sprite arriving..." said the Chimecho.
"I already know the news, Chimecho. And no, I have not planned to use you in the next few battles." said Wizzy.
"Chimecho, do you have to fly that fast? I can't move as fast as you if I do not get my edges smoother." said Lunatone, the crescent moon-shaped Rock-type, as it teleported to Wizzy's location.
"And you're here too." said Wizzy in response to his Lunatone's arrival, "By the way, where's Solrock?"
"It said that it is waiting for the Fiery Sprite's arrival. You should take note that there are some facts that we don't usually know about each other." replied the Lunatone.
"Hmm... I think I got what you said. By the way, it's not nighttime yet, and Jirachi will arrive in a couple of hours, so let's check out what's at the Pokemon Center's cafeteria. Follow me, Sorcerise. The rest of you, keep a watch out for Jirachi's arrival." said Wizzy as he noticed it's not Kalos' late sunset yet.
"Sure, Wizzy. Be sure to check if there's any Babiri soup in the cafeteria. From the knowledge of the others of my kind, it is said that it can help to withstand cuts caused by Steel Pokemon... I need to make sure I was not harmed by Jirachi." said Sorcerise as it followed its trainer to the Pokemon Center.
"Yes, it's readily available in Dendemille, and I'm wondering how Jirachi unleashes a Doom Desire..." said Wizzy.
A few moments later, back in her house, Mixia just finished her somewhat-plain oatmeal dinner. A Rotom, in the form of a washing machine, appeared besides its trainer.
"Get the dishes done, if you know how to do it." said Mixia as she commands the Wash Rotom to clean up her bowl and spoon.
She then returns to her thoughts earlier, while sipping her cup of Clitoria tea, which is brewed from the blue flowers under the care of blue-flowered Floette at her garden.
"I discussed with Egene about the classification of Pokemon in professional battling. The more I hear about the high-ranked ones, the more I feel disgusted about those overrated Pokemon I kept seeing in my battles. Yet, I feel a bit of sympathy towards some Pokemon which, despite being high-ranked, they never found usage, such as Dugtrio, Gothitelle and Starmie, to be precise. What's wrong with people nowadays? Are they so chickened out about using the underappreciated ones? I feel like I'm the only one using the underappreciated. Yes, Morphy, I understand how you feel."
While holding her tea cup, she noticed something crawling onto her table. It was the Marionette Pokemon, Banette, with a Mega Stone on its neck.
"Banet-banette!" the ghastly doll looked like it tried to say something.
"Jirachi is going to descend onto the exterior of Frost Cavern tonight? Wizzy's there? Trancer, you should've tell me about that earlier... Nevermind, I'm not going to make any wishes tonight, apart from hopes of obtaining shiny Pokemon during my leg-tiring hatching projects. On the other hand, the spirits are too quiet nowadays." said Mixia.
"Banette?" Trancer asked in confusion.
"You want me to go to there? Okay, but I'm not going to show up with Wizzy in person, if you know what I mean." she added.
She put down her tea cup gracefully and the Banette hopped onto her shoulder, then stood up and walked out of her house, and rode onto her bicycle, heading for the Frost Cavern.
In the meantime, Wizzy has finished his dinner, along with Sorcerise.
"I can sense the Starry Sprite arriving in a few minutes! Praise Cresselia! We must make haste!" announced the Lunatone.
"Come on guys! Jirachi is going to arrive now!" said Wizzy as he ran towards the stairs leading to the bridge linking Dendemille Frost Cavern.
"Do you think I should give you a lift?" asked Endurer as it, along with Sleeky, tucked its legs to start levitating.
"No thanks, Frost Cavern is not that far." replied Sorcerise.
"W-w-wait for me!" said the Chimecho as it flew towards the Frost Cavern.
"Sigh... here I go again..." babbled Lunatone as it chants a teleportation spell.
Not in a minute later, Wizzy crossed the rope bridge above the Frost River, then rushed towards the entrance of Frost Cavern. His Pokemon then followed.
"Frost Cavern... it seems like almost a year since I met the Abomasnow residing there..." said Wizzy.
The two Metagross then landed next to Wizzy, followed by Sorcerise, which then raised its arms, next with Lunatone teleported above Wizzy and Chimecho positioning above Lunatone. The Psychic-type Pokemon looked towards the night sky.
"Uhh... guys, what are you doing?" asked Wizzy.
"Look! The Starry Sprite has arrived!" exclaimed the Wind Chime Pokemon.
Wizzy noticed two comets flying over the Frost Cavern. Usually, there is only one comet flying over the cave every night, but Wizzy has seen two of them with his own eyes. It is said Jirachi arrives in the form of a comet... Perhaps the other comet was Jirachi itself?
The other comet flew towards the entrance of Frost Cavern, which is considered flying out of its orbit. Since that mysterious light is very distant from Wizzy, he didn't cover his eyes like when he met Celebi.
At the same time, Mixia crossed the bridge interlinking Dendemille and the Frost Cavern, noticing the light descending onto the Frost Cavern.
"Banette..." Trancer felt dizzy while gripping onto Mixia shoulders during the ride.
"There... Jirachi, the Wishmaker..." said Mixia. She parked her bike at a wall near the rope bridge, then ran towards the Frost Cavern, but when she managed to cross the rope bridge, something made her stop.
"No, I'll not appear in person..." she thought, "I might as well hide instead. Be quiet, Trancer."
The girl hided near the slope, while the Marionette Pokemon was confused about what its trainer is up to.
The light slowly descended in front of Wizzy and started to fade, revealing the Wishmaker with its eyes closed as it chants out the second line of the riddle:
"A sprite joyously appears to grant wishes in a splendorous night sky..."
"Do you think Jirachi is going to do something reckless?" asked Sorcerise.
"Relax, Mythical Pokemon are well disciplined. Sometimes I wonder why did I make you come with a Timid nature even though other of my Pokemon do not show such trait..." replied Wizzy.
Jirachi opened its eyes, and looked at Wizzy.
"Gah! You scared me!" shrieked Jirachi.
"Agh! I didn't see that coming!" responded Wizzy.
"My apologies. My trainer was a bit off guard in my conversation." said Sorcerise.
"Oops... well, you must be the psychic of Light and Darkness Celebi met! I hope you aren't hostile as Celebi told me..." said the Wishmaker.
"Actually that was because of..." said Wizzy then turned his head to look around his surroundings, "...someone. But that's strange, where is she? Not in the mood for making wishes, hmm?"
"Why you should concern about the girl? Maybe you wanted to live happily ever..." said Sorcerise gladly, but then turned sour in a sudden thought, "Wait, I almost forgot what were you thinking back in Kiloude."
"You almost made me throw up, Sorcerise." Wizzy responded. "Now I was saying, I wish..."
Suddenly, something strange came from the Frost Cavern: there were snowflakes whirling around at the back of the Starry Sprite. Apparently, those were snow clouds, and they were starting to deposit. Wizzy noticed and picked up his Pokedex.
"Wh-wh-what is that? It's... too cold!" asked Jirachi, shivering timidly.
"Uh oh..." responded Sleeky.
The snow clouds deposited and formed a Pokemon that is said to appear under cold temperatures: Cryogonal. The Crystallizing Pokemon was about to unleash Sheer Cold.
"Ahhhh!" Jirachi responded by covering itself in a shield of mysterious light, apparently using Protect.
"Sorcerise! Stop the Cryogonal at all costs, but don't reduce it to steam!" commanded Wizzy.
"But why you want me to wound that monster instead of letting Endurer to do the job?" asked Sorcerise.
"I need to catch it. If Mixia has one, then so shall I!" said Wizzy.
While Sorcerise is aiming at the Cryogonal, Wizzy immediately threw a Quick Ball at the snowflake-shaped Pokemon. The Quick Ball encapsulated the Cryogonal, but it broke out of the Poke Ball not so long, and cast up a Light Screen. Sorcerise, thinking it's the perfect moment, unleashed a large sphere of fairy energy from its hands, apparently a Moonblast, at the Cryogonal, but the snowflake-shaped Pokemon managed to dodge the attack by using Acid Armour.
Another snow cloud deposited at the Frost Cavern, apparently forming another Cryogonal.
"Hold on, Jirachi! I can stop this thing!" said the Chimecho as it charged towards the snow cloud. But by the time another Cryogonal appeared, it unleashed a Sheer Cold and froze the Chimecho.
"Two Cryogonal?! That's once in a blue moon! Keep staying in that form, Jirachi, I'll catch'em in a matter of time!" exclaimed Wizzy.
"Catch both of them? Perhaps I shall help." said Lunatone as it started creating a Moonblast then started to charge at the second Cryogonal, "Feel the flurry of Cresselia!!!!!"
Lunatone intended to unleash a fatal blow onto the Cryogonal by casting Moonblast near to it. However, the Cryogonal cast an Ice Beam onto the moon-shaped meteorite, freezing it. It turned its back, revealing the smooth, clear, mirror-like surface, and deflecting the Lunatone by shattering its attempted Moonblast. Lunatone, being frozen to hard as a combination of rock and ice like an Aurorus, got deflected and hit Endurer's right front arm, and ricocheted towards Sleeky's face, causing its yellow cross to crack. Hitting the two Iron Leg Pokemon caused the ice around Lunatone to shatter, although its rocky body was left intact.
"Aaaauuuuugh! My arm for punching!" shouted Endurer as it wailed over its arm for unleashing Bullet Punches.
"No.... My face..." lamented Sleeky over its adamant, shiny appearance already broken.
"Sooner or later, I have to clean up both of you two. Sleeky, perhaps I should've taught you Rock Polish instead..." Wizzy responded, and noticed the two Cryogonal surrounding Sorcerise, casting Ice Beam simultaneously to freeze the Gardevoir to death, "Looks like this calls for serious measures..."
Wizzy created an unnerving stare at the first Cryogonal. The snowflake-shaped Pokemon suddenly felt an unrelenting pain, as it felt like it was starting to lose its own will. It's a psi-consuming skill of Wizzy's, and something that Beheeyem can unleash when in grave danger: mind control.
 |
| "I got you now..." |
"Is it over yet?" Jirachi asked through telepathy.
"Almost there..." replied Wizzy.
The young psychic then released control of the Cryogonal he controlled, while his Gardevoir tried to recover and stood back to its feet. That Cryogonal was still losing consciousness after being released from mind control.
"Cripple it... now." he commanded.
The Embrace Pokemon stood in the same posture when casting Moonblast, its hands were generating an orb of pure dark energy, which is also found in Wizzy's psionic power, an unleashed the orb, a Shadow Ball, at the unconscious Cryogonal.
"Now's the chance." Wizzy said.
He threw two Timer Balls at the two crippled Cryogonal, and both of these Poke Balls were successful at encapsulating the Crystallizing Pokemon.
"It's done." said Wizzy, then turned towards Jirachi's shield, "Jirachi, you can release your guard."
Jirachi then removed its Protect technique.
"Wow... Those were some scary-looking Pokemon, weren't they?" the Starry Sprite responded.
"They're not scary at all... but they're said to be extremely rare. I'd say that encounter was once in a blue moon." Wizzy replied, "These creatures are only to appear in the coldest of winter months in Unova, and in Kalos these creatures are said to be virtually non-existent."
"Brrrrrr... H-h-help me..." the Lunatone shivered in the aftermath.
"If Solrock is around, none of these would have happened." Wizzy responded to Lunatone.
"Yes, I'm sure these monsters fear the sunlight of a Solrock, right?" asked Jirachi.
"Indeed. When winter's over, the Cryogonal sublimate back into water vapour unless they're captured in a Poke Ball." Wizzy added.
"I might need to send these victims back to Camphrier for healing. I'll come back once I'm done with the healing. Wizzy, you can stay and converse with the Starry Sprite." notified Sorcerise. The Gardevoir chanted its teleportation incantation, and sent the two Metagross, the shivering Lunatone and the still frozen Chimecho back to Camphrier, along with the Gardevoir itself. Gardevoir are said to be capable of mass-teleporting Pokemon... and that confirmed the myth.
"Young psychic, did you just took control of one of the monsters' mind?" asked Jirachi.
"Indeed, but I can only apply it on extremely aggressive wild Pokemon." replied Wizzy, "Enough trivia; I must grant my wish."
"Hold on, young psychic! I almost forgot that I have to apply a test onto you." halted the Starry Sprite.
"Agh, not again..." complained Wizzy.
Jirachi surrounded itself with the same sphere it used to Protect itself, and its star-shaped crown glows dark as it closed its eyes. However, this sphere was glowing with the black-coloured energy that is found in Wizzy, and multiple globules of this energy was launched into the sky.
"Huh? What is this?" Wizzy stared at confusion. However, he chose to focus on where the globules are going.
The globules started to fall at Wizzy. Realising that these energies are also found in him, Wizzy raised his right hand, and his hand formed a dark-coloured shield around him. The globules, that were about to strike him, got absorbed by the black shield.
"Hmph. Easy. That must've been a Future Sight." said Wizzy.
Jirachi then stopped casting its sphere of power. "Don't be too hasty. One more to go." it said.
Jirachi went back into the same position which it cast Future Sight, this time instead of its star crown glowing, when it closed its eyes, the third eye on Jirachi's abdomen awakened, and the sphere surrounding it glowed with white-coloured energy, similar to Wizzy's light energies. The sphere launched white energy globules into the sky.
"So Jirachi is also a light and dark caster like myself..." thought Wizzy as he noticed the white globules.
This is Jirachi's signature move: Doom Desire. These bright energies, released by Jirachi's purified energy that is used to grant wishes, have a very long delay once it is cast, but after that delay, the opponent would have nowhere to run as these energies strike the ground as it was a meteor shower. Wizzy managed to absorb these energies by forming a light-coloured shield around him.
"Impressive. You have passed this test." Jirachi commented.
"What was that for?" asked Wizzy.
"The test of polarity. This test is to test the psychic's capability of his mastery on light and darkness." answered Jirachi.
"Well. That tinkering around about my powers did really pay off." said Wizzy, "And now, can I grant my wish?"
"Sure. Say out what of your desires... I mean, a desire." said the Starry Sprite as it handed one of its wish tags attached to its head to Wizzy.
"I wish..." Wizzy paused for a moment, "I wish to have the strongest Psychic-type Pokemon team ever throughout the entire region of Kalos."
Jirachi closed its eyes, and as it received back the wish tag from Wizzy, it tried to grant the wish to the boy. People usually write their wishes onto Jirachi's wish tags, and if the notes written disappear, it means that the wish is granted. However, psychics instead chant their wishes, and Jirachi attempts to make their wish appear on the tag. If the 'written' wish successfully appear on the wish tag, that means the psychic's wish is granted.
Back in Camphrier, Mistrome managed to teleport itself back to Camphrier. Then, Sorcerise, along with the wounded Pokemon, appeared.
"What is it?"
"These creatures are wounded during a fight against two Cryogonal."
"Huh? I thought they could defeat them. What happened?"
"Wizzy. He wanted to catch those things so badly that he wanted us to not to hurt the Cryogonal too much. Now look what happened."
"First he left me behind, and now he left these Pokemon to fall apart like this. Cresselia, has the world gone mad?"
Another Medicham showed up, this one has a shorter 'bulb' on its headpiece, a female one.
"Sister! Help us to heal the wounded!" Mistrome called.
"They're not in good shape." the female Medicham responded.
"Don't worry. Our long-honoured technique will definitely get them back to good health!" exclaimed Mistrome, "But I'm not sure how to heal inorganic metals."
"Are you sure this will destroy my appearance?" asked Sleeky as the two Medicham were preparing to apply Acupressure.
"It won't hurt, nor it would damage your appearance. We only target the stress points." the female Medicham explained.
Back in the Frost Cavern exterior, Jirachi was still attempting to fulfull the wish.
Unfortunately, Wizzy's wish did not appear on the wish tag, meaning Jirachi is unable to grant the wish.
"I'm sorry Wizzy... there are desires that cannot be fulfilled." said Jirachi.
"What...? That's... that's impossible! I fought so much just to get my wish granted..." said Wizzy, much to his despair.
"That is a wish that is impossible to fulfill." Jirachi explained, "But it's alright; you can get to summon me whenever you desire, but I cannot grant wishes to you when you summon me."
"No... impossible..." Wizzy collapsed, and a tear came out from his eyes.
"Cherish, and farewell..." these were Jirachi's last words. The mysterious light which appeared along Jirachi shone onto the Wishmaker. A yellow light swoops down onto Jirachi and Jirachi teleported back to the realm where the Sprites reside. The mysterious light fades, and Jirachi was no longer seen.
Sorcerise then teleported back to the entrance of Frost Cavern.
"I have to tell you that we took a lot of time to clean up the wounds of... Wait, Jirachi left that fast?" said Sorcerise.
"It... didn't grant my wish." cried Wizzy.
"I always knew that this is an impossible-to-grant wish, yet you're too defiant about it. And now, you have wasted an opportunity." Sorcerise commented.
"Maybe I should've been called Senior Apprentice for Nothing..." murmured Wizzy.
Sorcerise then embraced its trainer.
"You're getting too harsh on yourself all the time. Remember, if you want to fulfill that wish of yours, maybe you should work hard instead." said Sorcerise, "Now, let's go back and get some rest."
Sorcerise teleported its trainer back to Camphrier, along with itself. The trainer and his Pokemon were gone.
Before he teleported back to Camphrier, Wizzy noticed a figure that was standing on the slope. However, due to his eyes being obscured by his tears of despair (not to mention being drowned), he's unable to see who was that.
That figure was Mixia. She witnessed the carnage between Wizzy's Pokemon and the two Cryogonal, and Wizzy's 'test'. Wizzy and his Pokemon would have noticed the girl, however, everyone was busy amidst the carnage. Only Jirachi noticed her, but it did not say a word about the girl's presence.
"That's the first time I see Wizzy cried..." said Mixia, "And he looked adorable when he cast one of his black-or-white powers... However, his grief of despair was what stand out the most, because only I can feel it..."
"Banette?" Trancer was confused about its trainer's words of praise.
"He wanted to grant a wish he desires, only to end up the wish not being fulfilled." Mixia added, "But there is hope, and I'm certain there's a solution..."
"Let's go back to get some shut-eye." Mixia then ran back to her bike, and hopped onto it then rode back to home along with her Banette.
The next morning, in Camphrier, Wizzy walked out from the building where his room is rented. He seems that he got himself cleaned after the ruckus back at the entrance of Frost Cavern. He looked very neat, he even carried his black vinyl messenger bag he bought from Lumiose with him. He was in his outfit he wore yesterday, even the details such as his black ankle socks and white sunglasses, except for one thing, he's shirtless, revealing his slender yet fit torso.
"Nothing wrong with being shirtless in a town of historical value." he said to himself, optimistically, "Maybe I should dress like this when I visit Hoenn..."
Sure, you might be thinking that Wizzy's must have a hard time having yesterday's good night sleep, but slowly, as time passes throughout his sleep, three of his Pokemon that watched him sleep, a Hypno along a Musharna named Dillemia, and Aether, the Dream-Eating Espeon, noticed his depressive thoughts and the two tapir-shaped Pokemon along with the feline Psychic-type attempted their so-called "sleep telepathy therapy" to help him sleep. The morning he woke up, Wizzy was cured, although some of his thoughts from yesterday still persist.
While he's brushing his teeth then taking a shower, Wizzy thought of yesterday's encounter with Jirachi. One of Jirachi's last words, 'cherish', appeared in his mind. He tried to fathom the meaning of that word, but something has hit him while thinking of his decision of the wish he granted.
"A Galladite. I should have wished for that." he thought. Would have been really foolish if he didn't think about the Mega Stone of his signature Pokemon (Gallade, of course) in the first place...
Wizzy walked out of the bathroom, and after he cleaned up his body, he got himself dressed. As he got his white V-neck shirt from his wardrobe, he thought of something.
"I think I should put this shirt into my bag. I should focus on improving myself for today." he said.
"You looked different. You're up to something special, aren't you?" asked Aether.
"Indeed." Wizzy replied.
"Let's go out. The others are waiting." the Espeon added.
Back to the point where Wizzy left the building, he walked to Camphrier's town square. Here, a small, black humanoid Pokemon with bowtie-shaped feelers attached to its purple head, ram towards Wizzy's legs. A humanoid, about the height of a human, with blade-shaped elbows, was looking for this miniature Pokemon.
"Hmm? What is it, Gothita? " Wizzy asked, "And good morning to you, Sorcerade."
"This hyperactive thing keeps running amuck around the town, and I'm afraid it will knock onto someone!" said the Gallade.
"Hello! Hello! Hello!" greeted the Gothita as Wizzy picked up the Fixation Pokemon. A Gothita's telepathic vocalisations are not well developed until they evolve into Gothorita, so apart from saying out these words with telepathy, all they do is vocalisations of their species' name.
"Okay. That was annoying." Aether complained.
"Yes, yes. What do you want?" asked Wizzy.
"Gothi-Gothita?" the Gothita asked.
"Oh, you want something to eat. I have some Poke Puffs." said Wizzy, as he zips open his bag.
He picked up a box full of Poke Puffs. "Which one do you like?" he asked to the Gothita.
The Fixation Pokemon stared at the pink coloured Poke Puff, with frosting and a cherry at the top. Wizzy picked up the Poke Puff and gave it to his Gothita. The Gothita hold the Poke Puff, and attempted to peck it with its tiny lips.
Then, Wizzy's two Metagross appeared at the east of the town square, along with Sorcerise. It seems that the two Metagross are recovering well.
"Endurer, Sleeky, how had you been?" Wizzy asked.
"I'm back to normal, as always." Endurer replied.
"Looks like my face is going to leave a some scratches... but that's alright." Sleeky answered.
Suddenly, Wizzy noticed two explosions of Shadow Balls. He then noticed two Pokemon flying as they were knocked back.
"Uwaaaaagh!" a humanoid-shaped Pokemon with a purple face, blonde hair and a red dress screamed while it got hit by a Shadow Ball. It was a Jynx.
"Unfair..." another humanoid, resembling a pantomime, complained while 'flying'. It was a Mr. Mime, but it was a female Mr. Mime named Mirriam, judging from its feminine telepathic voice. These two Pokemon then hit a wall of the local Pokemon Center.
"The score is 1-0." a yellow humanoid Pokemon said so. It was an Alakazam under Wizzy's named Illusious.
"What in the name of Arceus was that? Did Ghosts invaded Camphrier or what?" asked Wizzy in shock.
"No, that was a mock battle. Apparently these two were defeated by the Scarfed Grumpig and Meteorone." explained Illusious.
"I knew it! I have the advantage!" shouted a bipedal pig Pokemon, a Grumpig, while doing a series of movements that resemble a Teeter Dance, happily.
"Don't get to overexcited about it. What if one of those dreaded third-eye monsters come and knock you out when it survived your attack?" a bipedal fox Pokemon, a Delphox, named Meteorone, commented about a Mega Gengar.
"You guys are doing great. Yes, that includes you, Mirriam and Jynx." Wizzy responded.
"Yup, yup siree!" said Mirriam as it got back to itself.
"Ohh... I'm too dizzy..." Jynx couldn't get up.
"I'll help you get up." Sorcerise responded, then chanted an incantation to levitate the Jynx and put the Human-Shape Pokemon back to its stance.
"Well, it seems that half of everyone is together." said Wizzy, then stood up and turned to his Gothita, "How was the Poke Puff?"
"Gothita. Gothita!" the Gothita jumped up and down, exclaiming happiness.
"At least everyone had a good time." Wizzy added.
Suddenly, someone rushed towards Wizzy, and he was unable to respond to someone's sudden appearance, therefore walk back a bit as a response.
"Someone! Close the young thing's eyes!" exclaimed Sorcerade, as he noticed something inappropriate. Sorcerise cast a screen made of psionic power, obscuring the Gothita's vision.
That person who ram into Wizzy was a girl. It was Mixia, and as she rushed towards the young psychic, she kissed his lips, hence the Gardevoir obscuring the Fixation Pokemon's sight. But Mixia was unable to stop, so while she and Wizzy kissed, the boy moved back a little.
"Mixia?! Wh-what in the name of Arceus was that?!" expressed Wizzy in shock, blushed.
Mixia noticed her 'boyfriend' shirtless. "Oops, I forgot to notice that, but you look very cute." she said, "But that was too rude for me to bang towards you, right?"
"It-it-it's okay. I used to be look like this when I wear my zipped shirt combo without an undershirt, or was it a tank top again?" Wizzy commented, "Anyhow, what brings you here?"
The girl opened up her white purse, and picked up a present, along with a Poke Ball and a Mega Stone, which are meant to be gifts for the boy.
"This can't be... A Galladite?! Where did you get it?" Wizzy asked.
"Lady Valerie gave me this. Since she said she has no use for it, while I'm not looking forward to use a Mega Gallade, I beleive that you should have this." Mixia answered.
"Then what's inside the Poke Ball? Some random Ghost of yours?" Wizzy asked in disbelief.
"Try to summon it." said Mixia.
Wizzy then throw the Poke Ball gently, and the Poke Ball summoned a large, pink Pokemon with a shell attached to its tail: a Slowbro. To Wizzy's surprise, the Slowbro slammed its body towards the boy, with its stubby arms moving as it was trying to hug him.
"Agh! This thing is getting too close to me!!!" Wizzy screamed.
"Hehe!" Mixia giggled with a cute smile.
"Where did you get this thing?!" the boy asked.
"I trained it while I was finishing up my Pokedex." Mixia explained, "I realised that your Pokemon are more likely to be badly wounded by a Sucker Punch, so I gave you this to combat those Sucker Punchers."
"Surprises everywhere!" Illusious gasped in shock.
"Uhm... thank you, I suppose." Wizzy gasped, "Finally, what is inside this gift?"
"A book. I wrote it." Mixia answered.
Wizzy unwrapped the present, and reveals a 'book', only to be papers arranged neatly then stapled, with the book cover saying:
"You must be kidding, right? You are a Ghost-type specialist, and I doubt that you have written a lot of unnecessary notes in it." Wizzy responded.The Psychic's guide to Psychic-type PokemonNot just for Psychics, but also for Channelers, Mediums and Hex Maniacs! (sort of)
"Don't underestimate my knowledge; I've learned a lot about Psychic-types while filling up the Pokedex and doing research about them with Professor Sycamore, and I was able to figure out a plenty of strategies by doing so," Mixia replied, "Look at this Slowbro's moveset."
Wizzy then observed the Hermit Crab Pokemon's Pokeball and accessed its moveset. "Hmm, Scald, Calm Mind... Mixia, you figured out this?!" Wizzy gasped in surprise.
"Mm-hmph, Slowbro is meant to take whatever Crunches and Knock Offs are thrown at it." said Mixia, "By the way, here's a suggestion for your Mega Alakazam: Replace that Encore with Protect. That will give you time to prepare your Alakazam against Greninja."
"And I thought Greninja is invincible." Wizzy commented.
"You forgot about me." Endurer responded.
"Right... Bullet Punch. Maybe I should make more use of you." the boy added.
"Yes, a Metagross which is capable of Bullet Punching is always better than a Metagross who wishes to outspeed everything." said Mixia.
"Right... priority is everything." Wizzy commented.
"Not just it, there are also a bunch of other factors if you want to succeed in the Battle Maison using these Psychics only. I also added my Chandelian Scale, you know, how fast should a Pokemon be to be faster than a Chandelure with a scarf, and the Sucker-Puncher-meter, you know, how much Sucker Punches will your Pokemon take. Let's just say that I included how many hits your Pokemon are going to take from common Dark, Bug and Ghost attacks." explained Mixia.
"I... don't... get it..." Sorcerade gasped in confusion.
"I don't know why, but that's my first time scratching what's on the top of my head!" said the Jynx as it scratched its head, possibly not understanding what the girl said.
"Mixia, stop. My mind is going to burn if you keep telling me what information is inside this 'tome' of yours before I ever read it." said Wizzy.
"Oops. Well, if you want to read it, you can do so anytime you wish. I'd better go now!" said Mixia as she heads of to the western entrance of Camphrier.
"Je t'aime, Wizzy!" she greeted in fluent Kalosian.
"Mixia, stop! What did you say?" asked Wizzy in confusion.
"You did not notice?" Mixia asked and winked cutely at the boy.
"Right, you're... very cute, considering the fact you wear a fancy blue-coloured outfit with a miniskirt with the length of a Lass' skirt and your lower torso exposed. Cuter than all the Lasses in Kalos, I suppose. 'Infatuating' is the word, right?" Wizzy replied, blushingly.
"Well you finally get it. Bye then!" Mixia greeted farewell. Wizzy watched as his childhood friend left Camphrier.
He then opens up one of the pages in the 'book' his childhood friend gave him. One of the section of the page reads:
"An Alakazam maybe strong when it comes to intelligence and mental powers, but extremely frail when it comes to physical defense. Considering you want to Mega Evolve the Psi Pokemon, make it learn Protect to give it time to prepare."
"So that's what Mixia meant. I've seen tournament matches and many of the Pokemon participating in the tournament frequently come with a Protect or a somewhat similar move." Wizzy thought.
"Try find something about our species!" said Endurer.
"Did she mentioned ours too? You noticed that it's hard to find a pig with pearls in the battlefield, right?" said the Grumpig.
"Hey! I'm the most forgotten one!" shouted the Jynx.
"Don't forget me!" Mirriam also said.
"Stop, please. I need to look for something about Sorcerade." said Wizzy as he kept flipping through the pages.
He then stopped at another page, and read something about Gallade:
"If I were to pick what's the best Mega Evolution for a Psychic-type, then I'm going with my psychic childhood friend's choice: Mega Gallade. Hands down, when it Mega Evolved, it is excellent enough to catch up with a Gengar, and its excellent physical power, along with immunity to flinching, makes it good enough to take down those Kangaskhan with their empowered joeys."
"She knows of Gallade's potential to defeat Mega Kangaskhan. Good." the boy thought again, and looked at another page, and delighted when he read this passage:
"Possessing the ability to trap any corporeal creature, Gothitelle is a Psychic-type that should not be underestimated, despite its somewhat average physical defense and speed. Speaking of speed, one may teach it Trick Room to allow it to take advantage of it. The Shadow Tag ability enables the Astral Body Pokemon to freely attempt a state of Calm Mind while preventing its corporeal opponent from escaping its empowered attacks. Beware of Dark-types though; when Taunted, it may fall within a couple of Sucker Punches."
Wizzy then faced towards his Gothita, "It seems that you'll be having a lot of usage on the battlefield yet to come someday!" he said, smilingly.
"Gothita-Gothita!" the Fixation Pokemon cheered and jumped.
"Humans can be as smart as us, Wizzy. Your friend managed to prove it." commented Illusious.
"I don't get it. What's e equals mc square again?" Wizzy asked in confusion.
"I meant when it comes to the combination of creative intelligence, common knowledge and awareness. When one gets these factors correct, the might it creates is powerful." the Alakazam replied.
"It seems that I have a lot to learn." said Wizzy.
"Indeed." the Psi Pokemon addded.
The boy then raised his head towards the sky.
"It seems my wish... is fulfilled." he said.
Author's Note
Phew! That took me a month to finish writing this!
Yes, I understand how frustrating it was to catch two Cryogonal that were encountered continuously, and I know, it was a once in a blue moon phenomenon. I mean, when you look for one, you'll always feel that "ugh, does Cryogonal even exist in Kalos?" moment of frustration, but when you run into one that you didn't meant to look for, you'll be like "Hey! I'm not looking for this! Oh well, this shouldn't be a missed opportunity to catch it!". Yes, same applies to when you're looking for a Shuckle, or a shiny Pokemon, or something as Farfetch'd as a Dunsparce.
Hmm... that seems to pretty much reflected my problems on Y (Wizzy's problems to be precise). Can't hit the 50 win streak on Super Singles, I kept losing, and of course, I don't have a Mewtwo. You might be surprised that after 2 years of being a Psychic, I have not caught a Mewtwo yet (the first time was a failure due to my in-game Gardevoir (not Sorcerise) Mega Evolved and overpowered the Mewtwo). Well, I do have plans to get a competitive-battling one, but I don't have time for that.
At the first second thought I originally planned that Wizzy would still be miserable from yesterday's failure to grant a wish, only to be comforted by his Gothita and the other Pokemon with him only. But I realised that I should mention the rest of my roster (I think I introduced half of Wizzy's cast), so yeah, that's why I put some of my Pokemon into this short story.
If you ever wondered what's the Chandelian Scale, it's something I've made up. This 'scale' is the ideal Speed for a Pokemon to make full use of Choice Scarf, and the Speed required to outspeed a Chandelure with complete Speed EVs and IVs, equipped with a Choice Scarf. In other words, the ideal Speed should be that of a Chandelure's, say a base stat of 80, with complete Speed EVs and IVs. Trust me, you might be toast when you face a Choice Scarf Chandelure, unless you have a Dark-type in your hand. Speaking of which, you know that Sucker Punch cripples Psychic and Ghost-types horribly, right? Alakazam is unable to survive one; not even for Gengar too. Hence the Sucker-Puncher-meter is mentioned, and by the way, try to calculate the number of hits your Pokemon can take from commonly-used moves, such as X-Scissor, Shadow Ball, Flash Cannon and Crunch.
And that's all for this post. I think I should help Mixia in completing her Pokedex... Yveltal's left!
Speaking of which, next story is about Zygarde, Shiny Xerneas and Shiny Yveltal. I'm serious here. You might figure out where did I get the idea for Wizzy being able to absorb Future Sight and Doom Desire from this music. And next story's theme.
