Kira Pray: (っ̯-｡)
Kira Pray rubbed its eyes, feeling the urge to rest.
But to Eevee, it looked as if Kira Pray, having granted two wishes in a row, seemed rather tired.
"Bwoo?!"
Eevee quickly turned its head to look at Victini.
After a brief start, Victini immediately took flight, rushing over to snuggle with Kira Pray.
"Bimi~ (Are you tired?)"
Victini tried to transfer some of its energy to Kira Pray with its tiny hands, but it was of no use.
Victini was frustrated.
[No, not really, I'm just a bit sleepy.]
"Bwoo~ (So you are tired.)"
Eevee gazed at the last Wishing Note that hadn't shimmered yet and didn't hasten to make a wish.
It planned to give Kira Pray some time to rest.
"Feeling sleepy…"
Fang Yuan looked at Kira Pray and suggested, "Then how about you take a break first?"
"You've all been active for the entire day; you must be tired. I'll ask the Magnemites to start preparing dinner."
"Bwoo."
Eevee nodded its head, as its wish could wait—making it tomorrow would be just as good.
It felt its wish was very simple and Kira Pray should be able to fulfill it quite easily.
At least it was more normal than Chef Magnet Monster's wish.
[Wait, just a second.] Kira Pray shook its tiny head.
It had been awake for nearly six days now.
Even without sensing the acceleration of the comet, it was on the verge of falling into slumber once again.
Knowing it could fall asleep at any moment, Kira Pray decided to grant Eevee Big Sister's wish first.
It would feel guilty if it missed the chance.
[I feel like I'm about to fall asleep soon.]
[Let's fulfill everyone's wishes first, although I'm not sure if I can manage it...]
Kira Pray looked at Fang Yuan, at Eevee, at each of Fang Yuan's Pokemon, at Glutton who had its wish granted, at Milotic and Dragonite who hadn't placed in the top five of Fang Yuan's tournament, and at Rotom, Victini, and Little Hoopa who hadn't participated at all.
During these few days of awakening, Kira Pray could feel that everyone had taken great care of it, and it was very happy.
Now, on the cusp of possibly leaving at any moment, Kira Pray dearly wanted to help each and every one of these friends fulfill a wish.
Because there might not be another chance to meet again.
[Kira Pray wants to give it a try.]
The gaze of Kira Pray fell upon everyone, startling Fang Yuan and the gathering of Pokemon.
"Kira Pray..." Fang Yuan sighed inwardly; this little guy really liked to consider their needs.
Kira Pray only awoke for seven days every millennium, a fact well understood by Fang Yuan and his Pokemon.
Now that Kira Pray had brought up how it was soon going to fall asleep again, Eevee and the other Pokemon immediately looked conflicted.
Victini, by Kira Pray's side, showed a sad expression on its little face; over these six days, it, Hoopa, and Kira Pray had become the best of friends, as they had been practically inseparable, playing games together around the clock.
If they were to part ways with Kira Pray next, they might not see each other again for a thousand years, a period far too long for the newly born Victini.
"What's the matter? It's just rest, right?" Little Hoopa still hadn't caught on.
It was the only one who didn't yet know that Kira Pray would sleep for a millennium and was about to leave everybody.
[Here, Eevee, what is your wish?]
Kira Pray remained oblivious to everyone's mood, its attention fixed on Eevee.
And Eevee, too, fell into deep thought.
We have to part, huh.
Though knowing this day would eventually arrive...
Eevee glanced at the slightly downcast Victini and the clueless Little Hoopa, as well as the other Pokemon.
Fang Yuan's Pokemon had almost developed a telepathic bond, not only with Fang Yuan but also among themselves, nurtured through the frequent use of Power of the Heart.
In this moment, all these Pokemon, along with Fang Yuan, nodded to Eevee.
"Bwoo~ (Kira Pray, do you have any wishes you want to come true?)" Eevee turned its gaze to Kira Pray.
With Kira Pray's limited power and only three Wishing Notes, Fang Yuan and his companions naturally wouldn't ask Kira Pray to fulfill a wish for every single Pokemon.
What effects this would have on the Millennium Comet and Kira Pray were unknown.
In that case,
"Everyone's wish is actually to help you, Kira Pray, to fulfill a wish yourself. Kira Pray, what do you wish for?"
Fang Yuan and the Pokemon turned to Kira Pray, smiling, which left Kira Pray hanging in the air in surprise.
[Kira Pray's wish...] Its Mind Induction carried a touch of forlorn hope.
It had always awoken to fulfill the wishes of others, and Kira Pray couldn't remember, but this seemed to be the first time someone wanted to help it with its own wish.
It wanted to fulfill new friends' wishes, and now, their collective wish was to know its own?
This unique feeling of being cared for moistened Kira Pray's eyes.
[Kira Pray's wish...]
[Kira Pray's wish is to have more time awake, to spend more time playing with everyone...]
A very simple and humble wish, yet Fang Yuan and the other Pokemon fell silent.
Because such a simple wish was also something they found difficult to help Kira Pray achieve.
Kira Pray was awake for seven days, and Fang Yuan, along with Rotom and Victini, had been researching the Millennium Comet's energy.
