"Draconia Champion John Captures the Wish Star Pokemon!"
"John Invites Dostic and Foreign Experts to Gather in Draconia to Study the the mythical pokemon Jirachi!"
"Did the Wish Star, Jirachi, Help John Beco Champion?"
The following day, news about Jirachi dominated headlines worldwide. The story's popularity rivaled even John's historic championship victory.
Many speculated that John had only achieved his champion status thanks to Jirachi's assistance. However, truly knowledgeable trainers understood that John's strength was unquestionable, with or without a wish Pokemon, he was undeniably champion material.
Regardless of the debates, one fact remained clear: John owned Jirachi.
Researchers from around the globe began flocking desperately toward Draconia's capital city.
Jirachi represented a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.
While multiple Jirachi existed throughout the world, their ability to remain awake for only seven days per thousand years ant that recorded encounters were extraordinarily rare. Human history contained perhaps a handful of docunted Jirachi awakenings, with no photographs and only blurry stone tablet etchings as evidence.
Studying such a Pokemon had always been pure fantasy.
But now, fantasy had beco reality, a genuine opportunity to achieve the impossible dream.
No researcher with ambitions could pass up this chance.
The interest extended beyond cosmic specialists to include countless breeders eager to study any legendary Pokemon firsthand.
"This commotion is certainly massive, my contact information is practically exploding," Saul Badman chuckled, addressing his most accomplished student with obvious amusent.
"ntor if soone can reach you directly, feel free to screen them personally. Don't bother with the rest, I'll handle them myself," John replied with quiet authority.
The flood of breeders and researchers seeking to join Jirachi's research had beco overwhelming. Among them lurked unscrupulous individuals attempting to pressure John at national levels, demanding he surrender Jirachi under the guise of "protecting rare Pokemon."
These demands ca from both dostic and foreign sources.
Such behavior represented a ti-honored tradition. Whether in the Pokemon world or elsewhere, certain people believed their positions entitled them to claim whatever they desired from anyone.
John's response had been refreshingly direct.
"Want Jirachi? Fine! Co take it yourself!"
This challenge imdiately silenced so organizations and individuals.
After all, if soone could actually obtain a Pokemon from John by force, why settle for a Jirachi that would return to space in seven days? Wouldn't his shiny black Lugia or white-furred Zeraora make better prizes?
Of course, forcibly taking Pokemon from John remained an impossibility.
John secretly hoped soone would attempt it, providing the perfect opportunity to make an example of them.
"Very well, I only need three positions, and I guarantee all three will be relevant field experts," Saul nodded. His student had shown such trendous respect that he would naturally maintain strict standards in return.
While dostic and foreign breeders and researchers required ti to arrive and undergo screening, John and Saul weren't sitting idle.
On the morning after acquiring Jirachi, John had purchased a "Cosmic Research Center",or more precisely, Draconia's governnt had gifted it to him.
The facility cost exactly one dollar and ca fully equipped.
Given John's champion status and the worldwide attention surrounding Jirachi's research, official support seed entirely reasonable.
For personnel, John's midnight notification had allowed Erald's team to move in before other researchers could arrive.
John, Saul, and Erald ford the Cosmic Research Center's three-person leadership structure.
Their research goal: preventing Jirachi from returning to its slumber cocoon.
John's ntor handled theoretical analysis, while Erald's team managed experintal operations. John's responsibility involved providing Pokemon subjects.
John had already directed his Gaboy character to Mount Hokulani in the Alola region.
This location offered the best opportunity to capture Minior, along with the occasional Cleffa. After accumulating sufficient Minior specins, John planned to visit teor Falls to capture Solrock and Lunatone.
If Earth-based cosmic energy sources proved inadequate, these space-origin Pokemon represented their only alternatives.
As a final contingency, John had contacted observatories worldwide to help "lock onto Deoxys." If urgency demanded it, he'd venture into space and capture the virus Pokemon directly!
Despite the trio's exhaustive efforts to find solutions, their primary subject seed less than cooperative.
"Jirachi~~~( I don't want to stay here! I wants to play gas with Togepi and w!)" After familiarizing itself with the laboratory, Jirachi began spinning around in obvious boredom.
"Wait another fifteen minutes. After this test concludes, I'll take you back," John promised reassuringly.
Jirachi had just awakened and possessed a child's natural temperant.
Expecting it to endure lengthy, tedious research sessions was unrealistic. John had established a simple agreent with Jirachi: only one hour of daily work.
Only research requiring Jirachi's direct participation would bring it to the laboratory, otherwise, it could remain at ho playing gas with its friends.
John had just finished his reassurance when he noticed everyone in the lab staring at him intently.
"What's wrong?"
"You also have w at your house?" Erald asked, her tone heavy with disbelief.
"Uh... didn't I ntion that before?" John scratched his head. w wasn't technically captured, more like a regular playmate. Since he hadn't included w in any formal breeding plans or in any of his teams, John rarely thought about it seriously. Besides, with his current strength, he wasn't concerned about anyone discovering its presence.
"Soo, what is this abiut? How did you acquire a w?" Saul raised an eyebrow.
"Well, it's just a friend I t at the Avian Sanctuary who often visits my house to play gas with my Pokemon," John explained casually.
"Take to see it!" Erald's eyes blazed with enthusiasm, her desperation exceeding even her reaction to eting Jirachi.
"This evening, you can et it when you co to my house for dinner. Work first. I'll take Jirachi back in ten minutes," John waved them off quickly, though he understood their excitent perfectly.
w was legendary as the ancestor of all Pokemon, and the optimal approach to studying any creature involved starting with its origins. For Pokemon researchers, w represented an irresistible attraction.
However, their imdiate priority remained Jirachi. While w could be studied later, Jirachi only had these precious seven days.
