Forina is the name of a place. This area has many stone peaks made of sandstone.
Forina is southwest of Mt. Chimney and north of Lavaridge Town.
Armored Mewtwo used its psychic power to carry them through the air. Damian and the other two arrived in the Forina region in the afternoon.
The environment in Forina was very great. The forests were green, and many Pokémon lived there. They were all doing very well.
"It is so beautiful. I feel like the plants here grow very well," Lillie said. She smelled the nice air and looked at the area with surprise.
"Mmh. This place is not far from Mt. Chimney, but the plants grow so well here."
Caitlin agreed. Mt. Chimney was a volcano that was not active now, and volcanic ash fell all the time. This made the temperature near Mt. Chimney high, so plants usually did not grow very well.
But this Forina region was clearly different.
"That is because a certain Pokémon has been sending energy into the ground here. That is why Forina is so healthy."
Damian picked two bright red apples from a tree. He wiped them and gave them to Caitlin and Lillie. He answered with a smile.
" Fi~!"
Tapu Fini saw this and acted like a spoiled child.
"Alright, alright. You get one too."
Damian had to give in to Tapu Fini. She did not like staying in her Poke Ball. She always came out on her own. Damian also found that she looked cool and distant, but she was actually the most clingy Pokémon on his team.
Damian picked two more apples and gave them to Tapu Fini.
" Fi~" Tapu Fini closed her eyes and was happy. She took a bite of an apple and made a soft, happy sound.
"A single Pokémon does all this? That is amazing."
Lillie was surprised by the power of this Pokémon. One Pokémon gave life and energy to such a large area? That was very impressive.
"Mmh. Its name is Jirachi. It is a legendary Mythical Pokémon," Damian nodded.
A legendary Pokémon... then it was not surprising.
Lillie blinked. She now understood what legendary Pokémon were.
"Legend says that if Jirachi hears a pure song once every 1000 years, it can stay awake for seven days. And there is another wonderful thing about the legend of Jirachi."
Damian smiled slowly.
"It is said that when it wakes up from its Cocoon of Resurrection, it will grant the wishes written on the tags on its head. Any wish is possible."
Damian made sure to say this part clearly.
"Is that true?"
"Eh? Can it really grant any wish?"
Caitlin and Lillie were both shocked. A Pokémon that could grant wishes? Did such a thing really exist?
"I do not know if it can grant any wish, but normal wishes should be fine," Damian said with a smile.
Any wish... that might be too hard for the cute little Jirachi.
Jirachi used energy to make wishes come true. In the movie, the villain Butler stole Jirachi, but it failed at first because Jirachi did not have enough energy from a comet.
The second time, Jirachi took the comet energy and followed Butler's wish to bring back 'Groudon.'
But because Ash stopped it, Jirachi stopped the energy. This made a 'Meta-Groudon' instead of a real one.
Also, Damian did not know what Butler was thinking. Groudon cannot fly and is not dead. Butler took a piece of the real Groudon and asked Jirachi to make a version that could not fly? The real Groudon would be very angry if it knew.
Comet energy was not limitless. Damian thought that if he asked Jirachi for an Arceus, the little Jirachi would be very confused.
Arceus was impossible. He wondered if he could ask for a Shiny Rayquaza or a Shiny Zygarde.
Damian remembered that in the show, some people caught a Shiny Rayquaza and a Shiny Zygarde. He should be able to do it too.
"A Mythical Pokémon that can grant wishes..."
Caitlin's eyes moved. She did not have any big wishes. If she had one, it would be to become stronger! And... to become Damian's real wife! She wanted to show those flirty girls who liked Damian that she was his main partner!
'If I wish to Jirachi to make Damian (Damian) fall in love with me, I wonder if it will work.'
Caitlin and Lillie were thinking the exact same thing at this moment.
"So Damian, are we here to find Jirachi?"
Lillie was suddenly very excited. She felt that this Jirachi was perfect!
"Of course. I checked, and the comet that comes once every thousand years will arrive soon. At that time, if Jirachi hears a pure song, it will wake up," Damian said with a smile.
In the movie, a person with a pure heart and a special connection had to wake Jirachi. If not, it would sleep for another thousand years.
At the end of the movie, May's song woke Jirachi. But Max heard Jirachi talking in his mind while it was sleeping.
"A song? I think I can do it!"
Lillie wanted to try. She was the one who played the flute to help Nebby evolve into Lunala!
"Mmh. If it is Lillie, there will be no problem," Damian replied with a smile.
This was why he brought Lillie to Forina. Damian thought Lillie was perfect because she had a pure heart and a clear voice.
If that did not work, he would have Armored Mewtwo wake the sleeping Jirachi. If a song could wake it, then using the dark energy that Psychic Pokémon hate should also work.
He wanted to see what Jirachi could do!
Most of all, he really liked Jirachi. This baby Pokémon was very cute.
He wondered if Jirachi would sleep if he caught it, or if he could stop it from using too much energy. After Jirachi used its power, it fell into a deep sleep to rest. It was very mysterious.
Lillie felt shy because of Damian's words, but she had a beautiful smile.
Caitlin looked at Lillie. She was calm. This girl definitely liked Damian!
But it did not matter. One more girl was not a big deal. Caitlin did not think a girl who was not a trainer was a threat. She would let Damian be with her for a little while to practice. As long as she was not like Courtney—who wanted Damian for three hours straight—it was fine.
The three people walked and reached an underground valley.
Two people were already waiting there.
"You are Butler, right?"
Damian looked at the young man with purple hair wearing white clothes. This was Butler. He was a famous magician.
But he used to be a scientist for Team Magma. Team Magma left him behind later, and he was still angry about it.
"Who are you?"
Butler looked at him with narrow eyes.
"Courtney is not coming. She does not feel well today."
"What?"
Butler's face became very ugly. He was angry and held his hands tight.
As he expected, even Courtney did not believe in him?
Butler thought that because Courtney was also a scientist, she would understand him.
"Do not be confused. It is not that she thinks you are bad. Do not let your pride control you," Damian said. He knew what Butler was thinking.
This guy was only acting because of his pride. Well, anyone in Team Magma was not a normal person anyway.
"?" Butler was surprised.
"You do not know yet? Team Magma is gone now."
"What?"
Butler was shocked. Team Magma was gone? What did that mean?
"It means exactly that. Team Magma was defeated and joined us. I like your skills. If you want, you can join us. I can give you a big place to show your talent."
Damian was in a good mood. Even though Butler was a bit strange, he was talented. He was a great magician. He could make money for the group or do science research.
"..."
Butler's face kept changing. He was thinking a lot.
He had worked very hard to find Jirachi. He thought he would prove his ideas were right and show the people who laughed at him that they were wrong.
Now he was told that Team Magma was finished?
What was the point of all his work? Butler felt like his hard work was wasted.
"Think about it. Give me an answer soon." Damian knew Butler was confused.
"Mewtwo."
"It is inside."
Armored Mewtwo's eyes had purple light. It felt a special power inside the valley.
Damian and the other two walked inside. The valley was cool. Armored Mewtwo raised its arm, and the stone wall broke. A purple crystal floated up because of Mewtwo's power.
"Is this Jirachi?"
Caitlin and Lillie were curious about the purple crystal stone.
"Yes. But it is still sleeping. It has not woken up yet."
Damian took the crystal and smiled.
"This is truly amazing," Lillie said. It was very mysterious. It woke up once every thousand years to grant wishes. Lillie did not know how to explain it.
"This world is just that mysterious."
Damian laughed a little. He looked at the purple crystal.
Green light came from Damian's hand. Viridian Power went into the purple stone.
But the purple stone did not move. Damian did not hear any voice in his mind. But the stone looked a bit brighter.
"Tsk~ I expected that. Even Viridian Power does not work. Is it sleeping that deeply?"
Damian stopped using his power. Since the little guy did not answer, he would stop. But the stone took all the energy. It was greedy.
"Never mind. We will talk when the Millennium Comet comes."
Damian put the stone in his bag. There was no rush since it was not waking up.
Damian went outside and saw Butler and Diane were still there. Butler was calmer now.
"Sir, what is your name?"
Butler walked over. Since Team Magma was gone, he did not care about Jirachi as much. He only wanted to prove himself to Team Magma.
"Damian. Why? Have you decided?" Damian asked.
"Is Lady Courtney working for you now?"
"That is right."
"Not just Courtney, but the old leader of Team Magma, Maxie, also works for me. Butler, I am telling the truth."
Damian said clearly.
"If you join us, you will have a great future. You can be better than the people who laughed at you."
Butler's breath became fast. He could not say no to this.
"Please let me join!"
"Very good. Talk to Courtney. She will give you a job. Because you found this place, Courtney will be nice to you."
"Thank you, Lord Damian."
Butler bowed to Damian. He was a great magician.
"Please let me show you a little gift."
Butler took out a magic hat. He moved his hand around it and pulled out a bunch of beautiful roses.
"I think your girls will be happy."
Butler moved away. He thought this was a perfect move! He could make Damian and the girls happy at the same time.
"You guy."
Damian's smile went away. He took a rose and looked at Caitlin and Lillie.
Lillie looked down because she was shy. Caitlin's face was also a bit red. she looked away.
But they were both waiting for him to give them the flower.
Emmm...
Who should I give this flower to?
Damian was worried. That damn Butler. I will make sure Courtney gives you a lot of trouble!
"Wow~ what a pretty flower. Can I have it?"
