"It's you." Sirona smiled slightly, "It just so happens that I'm introducing you to a new friend."
Little Hupa turned his head slightly and looked at Jirachi.
"You howl~" Jirachi was the first to greet.
Little Hu Pa heard the telepathy, covered his mouth and chuckled, saying:
"Hello, hello~! Is there anything you want? I can get it for you!"
Jirachi blinked, and in accordance with the principle of reciprocity, replied in good faith:
"What's your wish? I'll try my best to make it come true!"
"Hmm..." Little Hoopa puffed up his cheeks, "Hoopa will help you realize your wish!"
"Jirachi helped you realize your wish." Jirachi replied seriously.
"Wow!" Little Hupa acted coquettishly towards Sirona, crying, "Zhulan, it's unreasonable!!"
"Alright." Zhu Lan put her hands on her waist, lowered her head and said in silence: "I know very well that both of you have the ability to fulfill wishes... But before you make Lu Ye angry, please stop~"
"Hmm..." Little Hupa hesitated for a moment, poked his finger, made up his mind, and stretched out his little hand to Jirachi, "Hello, let's meet again, my name is Hupa~!"
Jirachi's eyes lit up slightly, as if he had made a new friend, and he reached out to Little Hupa:
"Hoopa, let's play!"
Little Hupa's eyes slowly opened wide, sparkling, and he cheered and made a lot of noise: "Okay, let's play together, play together!"
Teacher Lu stood at the exit of the front hall, looked at Jirachi and little Hupa laughing and playing, and smiled slightly.
I can probably understand what Jirachi's wish is.
Being able to find friends to play with... This is Jirachi's biggest wish as a child.
Maybe Jirachi and Hoopa could become very good friends.
"Teacher Lu!"
Xiaozhi's hurried call came from the front hall.
Lu Ye turned around and saw Xiao Zhi running over. He shouted:
"Little Nebula, it, it's awakened!"
Chapter 802: Teacher Lu: I want Jirachi to stay
"Teacher Lu, little Xingyun has woken up!"
When he heard Xiaozhi's call, Lu Ye did not rush to the front hall immediately, but looked at Jirachi.
It is not easy to replenish Little Nebula’s energy. The conversation on the flight made Teacher Lu guess that it was Jirachi who helped Little Nebula.
Jirachi's dark eyes were bright. He hesitated for a moment before smiling and saying,
"Everyone, let's play together!"
"Let's play together, let's play together!" Little Hu Pa took out two cheerleading sticks from somewhere and cheered up and down.
Sirona noticed Lu Ye's expression, walked to his side, and whispered:
"Perhaps, for a mythical Pokémon with a long life, friends are rare and precious things."
"Jirachi wants to make more friends, so she keeps fulfilling other people's wishes but never considers herself," she said.
Lu Ye chewed on Sirona's words and murmured:
"Jirachi does not have the ability to grant wishes out of thin air. It consumes its own energy to make wishes for others. It just wants to play with friends..."
Sirona nodded slightly and said gently: "This kindness is sometimes betrayed by humans, so there are terrible records such as sea monsters and land monsters."
"But Jirachi is not wrong, it just..." Sirona paused and smiled, "it just wants to play with everyone."
"I understand what you mean, Zhulan." Lu Ye's black pupils glowed slightly, "I know Jirachi's wish!"
Want to make friends, partners, and even family.
These bonds, which are commonplace to Mr. Lu, are extremely rare and precious to Jirachi, who can only wake up for seven days in a thousand years!
"Besides Hoopa and Nebula... I will take Jirachi with me to meet more friends."
Lu Ye said seriously: "I will hold a party in this coffee shop so that Jirachi can meet partners worth making friends with!"
Sirona looked at Lu Ye, put up her hair beside her ears, and smiled gently: "The encounter between life and life is supposed to be like this."
"You met Jirachi, Jirachi met Hoopa, and there were constant encounters and reunions... These are the meaning of bonds."
The World Tree in the courtyard rustled in the breeze. Jirachi's smile was a little tired, but he managed to cheer himself up with the freshness.
I'm afraid it won't last more than seven days.
Little Hupa didn't notice this and pestered Jirachi to sit on the swing together, giggling: "It's fun! We can play all the time in the future!"
In some ways, Hupa and Jirachi are very similar. They are both lonely, long for friends, and both met Satoshi and Mr. Lu.
"Yes!" In response to Xiao Hupa's invitation, Jirachi curved his crescent moon and nodded happily.
"I want..." Lu Ye said, "I want Jirachi to stay."
Sirona looked at Lu Ye in surprise.
"Jirachi is sleeping in a small meteorite. Little Hupa can use the aperture to keep the meteorite in the courtyard."
Lu Ye made a bold assumption and said cautiously: "As for the power of the universe... relying on the Galar Wishing Star to replenish energy may allow Jirachi to wake up from time to time."
"It's a fantastic wish and difficult to achieve. After all, there is no official academic report on the connection between the Galar Wishing Star and Jirachi." said Sirona.
"That's true." Lu Ye sighed and drooped his shoulders.
"but… "
Shirona smiled, and under Teacher Lu's surprised gaze, she slowly said:
"I will work with you to realize this wish and find a way to let Jirachi stay - with Jirachi's permission."
Lu Ye said blankly: "Zhu Lan..."
Little Hupa and Jirachi were swinging on the swing, and Fairy Eevee was bored and waving the ribbon to push the swing.
A rare 'big sister taking care of baby' moment.
"Let's go." Shirona smiled and took Lu Ye's hand, "Let's go see the awakened little nebula!"
…
The students circled the table.
"Teacher Lu." Kukui noticed the movement and waved, "Little Xingyun has awakened!"
"Xiaozhi told me." Lu Ye came over, "That means we should take it to the Sun Altar first."
"Don't worry." Kukui smiled and said, "We still need to take it for a full checkup."
Lu Ye nodded and looked at Xiao Xingyun.
The Star Cocoon is like an "eye" in a metal shell. The outside of the eye is a starry sapphire, and the pupil is the face of a small nebula.
Small Nebula: (*^▽^*)
It relies on some strange magnetic field to float off the table, but its range of movement is very small and it is almost motionless.
"It really is Little Nebula..." Mao leaned over to take a look.
"I can feel Little Nebula's aura!" Liliae said seriously.
Originally, according to Dr. Barnett's inference, the nebula's slumber would continue for some time.
Kukui rubbed his chin and frowned as he muttered to himself, "Could it be that Jirachi's power caused Little Nebula to wake up early..."
"Teacher Lu." He turned and said, "I have to take Xingyun back to Alola to check his physical condition."
"Me too!" Xiaozhi raised his hand and the students responded one after another.
The students have a deep bond with Little Nebula, and Carlos has few classes left, so he can return to school early.
"I have to stay in Kalos for a few days to take care of Jirachi." Lu Ye smiled, "Let me cook dinner before you go back to Alola."
"Teacher Lu cooks personally?" the students asked in unison.
"how."
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows and tried to remove the non-existent white cloth on his arm.
"I am Donghuang's top chef!"
Dinner was prepared in an orderly manner with the help of Sweet Dancer and Cream Milk Fairy.
Delicious food was served on the table like a buffet, and the students smelled the aroma and swallowed their saliva.
Mao's dream is to open a restaurant. He comes to help in the kitchen and watches Mr. Lu's cooking process with his eyes shining:
"Teacher Lu, can I come to the store to help out during the holidays?"
"Why, you don't want to go to your father's shop?"
"No." Mao stuck out his tongue, "I just think I can learn more cooking techniques here!"
Lu Ye smiled and said, "If your father agrees, there will be no problem. I am very good at cooking with tree fruits... I can also invite Mr. Shimi to teach you Carlos-style seafood dishes."
Mao specializes in Alola flavors and tree fruit feasts, and her partner Tian Wuni is also an expert in making dishes.
Teacher Lu discovered that the chefs’ partners are usually ingredients, such as Zhimi and the steel cannon prawns, Teacher Lu and the green onion soldiers…
"I will study hard!" Mao said with a cheerful smile.
At the dining table, Dr. Kukui held up a spoon, looked at the tempting golden fried rice, and passed it into his mouth.
A flash of inspiration came to Kukui, and his eyes widened: "Not greasy at all, and extremely appetizing!"
Lu Ye handed over the plate and introduced:
"I added sour limu... According to the tree fruit encyclopedia, the sourness of limu is 10. Adding it to the dish will give it a refreshing sour taste that will leave you with an unforgettable aftertaste."
There are as many as 67 kinds of berries in the Pokémon world. How to process and match flavors with the berries is a required course for every Pokémon chef.
Theoretically, Jirachi doesn't need to take food, but at Xiao V's invitation, he held up the cupcake-like Pouffelle with both hands.
The cream on the Poufflé is decorated with chocolate and chopped nuts, which is Carlos's representative dessert. Jirachi quickly immersed himself in the taste of the Poufflé.
"Hmm~" Little Hoopa said loudly, "Hoopa wants to eat Alola food!"
"Let me make it for you to taste!" Mao volunteered.
"No! Hoopa wants to eat what Lu Ye makes!" Hoopa turned his head away.
"Eh..." Mao looked frustrated, and Shui Lian and Liliae hurried to comfort him.
The dinner was lively, with the cafe staff and everyone's Pokémon joining in the party.
The messenger bird looked up at the woodpecker on the cupboard. The round-headed woodpecker was dozing with his eyes closed, and fell to the ground with a thump, with stars in his eyes.
Messenger Bird: ┌(.Д.)┐
It fell by itself! It wasn't me!
Tian Wuni from Mao and Tian Wuni, a shop assistant, discussed the production process of juice.
Frosty Milk Fairy held the cake and brought it to the dining table. Facing everyone's gaze, her cheeks quickly turned red with embarrassment and she hurried back to the kitchen.
Little Nebula curled up in the cocoon, unable to eat, so she just floated silently on Liliae's shoulder.
Bangiras noticed the 'Star Cocoon', which reminded it of its original 'Shakiras' form when it was unable to eat.
“Banji…” Bangilas quickly opened another big bag of potato chips and poured it into his mouth to calm himself down.
This was Jirachi's first time attending a banquet, and he was very excited and enjoyed a great meal.
Little Hupa patted Jirachi on the shoulder and grinned: "Follow Hupa and Xiao Lu, and I will make sure you have a good life in the future!"
Lu Ye: "Don't take me with you."
"No!" Hoopa glared, confidently, "Without Xiao Lu, Hoopa can't enjoy the good life!"
The flight back to Alola was the next day.
The students stayed in the back room, too excited to sleep, discussing what they had seen and heard that day.
