Pokémon: Jirachi, Wish Maker[]

Jirachi was found by Butler and Diane deep beneath Forina, in which it was held within the form of a purplish crystal. Butler aimed to use its limitless power in order to create a Groudon through artificial means, which he failed to do for Team Magma. Later, Jirachi telepathically reached out to Max during Butler's magic show.

When Jirachi emerged from its cocoon, Butler attempted to use its powers to absorb the Comet's energy. Before the process could be completed, Ash and his friends intervened and fled with Diane to Forina. Butler follows them to Forina, and succeeds in creating an artificial Groudon by capturing Jirachi. However, the Groudon begins consuming all of the wildlife in Forina, and with Butler's help, Jirachi succeeds in defeating the creature.

History[]

In the movie, Jirachi was awakened for seven days from a mysterious rock while the Millennium Comet was nearby. Jirachi had been taken by Butler, who was hoping to use Jirachi's powers for his own gain. Butler's girlfriend Diane realized what he was doing, and informed Ash and his friends. They decided to bring Jirachi to its home of Forina.

Unfortunately, Butler followed them and got ahold of Jirachi. Using the Psychic Pokémon, he unwittingly created a Meta Groudon, which wrought havoc all over the forests of Forina. Fortunately, Jirachi was saved by Ash and then used its Doom Desire to obliterate Meta Groudon.

After the ordeal, Jirachi went back to sleep, and Ash and the others continued their journey. During its time awake, Jirachi grew attached to Max, and formed a special bond with him. It is believed that Max was the one who enabled Jirachi to awaken. He was sad to see Jirachi leave, but he knew that they would always remain friends.

Jirachi later appeared in a flashback in the opening sequence of Destiny Deoxys. It also briefly reappeared in a montage in The Rise of Darkrai, which chronicled the preceding nine movies.

Personality[]

In the anime, Jirachi is somewhat childlike, presumably because it is only awake for a week every 1,000 years, thereby limiting its personality and maturity development. It can be very bossy if no one wants to play with it. Jirachi gets along with Max the most, as the two were often seen playing together. Jirachi has the ability to absorb the energy from the Millennium Comet when the eye in the center of its stomach, known as its true eye, is open. It uses the energy to keep order and maintain the landscape of its home of Forina; however, it can also be used for nefarious purposes, as displayed by Butler and his creation of Meta Groudon.
