I'm in Pokémon, but the system is Stardew Valley.

When they were still ducklings, they once saw a flock of dancing swans in the distance at Judy's Ranch.

They were so pure and sacred, every movement exuding ultimate elegance, a stark contrast to their clumsy appearance.

Now, hearing that he is going to evolve into that form, how could he not be excited?

Fang Gu smiled and said that the down from the dancing swans was the best material for making down jackets, and it could also be used to make soft pillows.

It's time to replace the pillow I'm currently using, which is made from duckling down.

Jirachi was happy for the two ducklings, but in the corner, the smile on its face still looked somewhat dim.

It has already made its decision.

Since I can't help people fulfill their wishes, and might even harm them, I might as well go back to heaven and become a stone that knows nothing.

Fang Gu keenly sensed Jirachi's unusual behavior. He sighed inwardly, remaining silent as he secretly pondered how to comfort Jirachi.

After Fang Gu analyzed Jirachi's power, it was finally verified on the Stardew Valley panel.

[The power of prayer, unique to Jirachi, the Wishing Star of the Seven Nights, can grant the wishes of those who make them. However, due to insufficient prayer power within Jirachi, it can cause negative effects on the wisher or the object being wished upon. For example, directly accelerating the ripening of plants can result in smaller fruits or even a bland taste.]

[If Jirachi could open the Millennium Eye on its stomach to absorb the power of the stars, it might be able to make up for its lack of prayer power. However, Jirachi would also suffer the pain of having the star power poured into its body.]

In the movie, Team Magma's scientists used Jirachi's absorption of star power to create a monster resembling Groudon, causing widespread devastation in the canyon where Jirachi lived.

Fortunately, Ash and his friends managed to defeat the Earth Monster by reversing the energy; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Fang Gu looked at Jirachi, who was hiding its sadness. It was astonishing that such a small body could contain such powerful energy.

However, Fang Gu would not touch this power. If he were to convert the pain of Pokémon into his own power, he would not be Fang Gu.

After paying the two thousand yuan consultation fee, Fang Gu returned to Stardew Valley Ranch with the medicine that Qiao Yichun had prescribed for the ducklings.

As soon as they returned to the ranch, Fang Gu released the Queen Bee and the baby duck directly from the Poké Ball.

"You two, the doctor told you to rest well and not let your wings get wet," Fang Gu instructed.

The baby duck stretched its neck and nodded vigorously, eager to spread the news of its impending evolution throughout Stardew Valley Ranch.

"As for you, Queen Bee..."

Fang Gu looked at the Queen Bee, who seemed quite angry. The Queen Bee, who had an aristocratic air, couldn't help but lower her head and slowly flap her wings.

Although she is now the leader of several bees, in front of Fang Gu she is still the same bee who likes to lie on Bulbasaur's back and suck nectar.

Fang Gu sighed and patted the Bee Queen on the shoulder. "I know you want to become stronger and take the true queen's position from the Bee Queen in the Ancient Moon Bird Forest."

"But we must not let power go to our heads."

"Om..."

The Queen Bee lowered her head, and even Jirachi beside her looked like she was about to cry.

"Consider this a lesson, but we absolutely cannot let this happen again next time." Fang Gu gently tapped the Queen Bee's forehead with his finger.

"As for defeating the Bee Queen of the Ancient Moon Bird Forest, let's wait until after the Dragon Leap Festival."

The Dragon Gate Festival falls exactly seven days after Easter. Mayor Foyth has already spread the word that a large number of trainers with Magikarp and Gyarados will be coming to Crescent Moon Town to participate in this ancient festival.

"Alright, don't let your people worry."

Fang Gu patted the queen bee on the shoulder and let it go.

"Kira." [Fang Gu... I'm sorry, Kirachi didn't mean it.]

Jirachi pursed his lips, tears welling up in his eyes.

Then, it told Fang Gu about its desire to return to the heavens.

For Jirachi, if it cannot help fulfill wishes, what is the meaning of its existence? And why should it be liked by other Pokémon and humans? Perhaps it should remain a silent stone for the rest of its life.

Fang Gu pondered for a moment, then held Jirachi tightly in his arms and gently rubbed Jirachi's head.

Jirachi's head looks like a five-pointed star, but when you touch it, it's actually soft and bouncy.

"Perhaps you can even grant other people's wishes." Fang Gu's words were gentle, like a warm spring breeze caressing Jirachi's heart, causing Jirachi's heart to tremble involuntarily.

"Come with me."

Fang Gu led Jirachi to the farmland, where the strawberries were just ripe. The strawberries, like rubies, weighed down the branches, their bright and translucent surfaces looking moist and incredibly tempting.

As soon as Fang Gu entered the farmland, Bulbasaur rushed over.

"Dah!"

Bulbasaur greeted Fang Gu and Jirachi.

As the boss of Stardew Valley Ranch, she wasn't so petty as to not greet the newcomer, Jirachi.

but!

You naughty child, can you please let go of my hand?

Bulbasaur stared intently at Jirachi's hand, which was tightly gripping Fang Gu's clothes. The murderous look in Jirachi's eyes made Jirachi a little scared, and it buried its body in Fang Gu's arms.

The succulent's jealousy intensified.

Fang Gu smiled helplessly and beckoned Bulbasaur to pick some fresh strawberries from the farmland.

Before long, Bulbasaur brought over several large, red strawberries, clearly some of the best quality from this batch.

Fang Gu wiped the strawberries clean with a handkerchief he carried with him, and then smiled as he gave two strawberries to Jirachi and Bulbasaur.

"Try it."

Chapter 189 Only wishes fulfilled by one's own hands are true wishes!

Jirachi held the strawberry, which was bigger than her own little hand, and was quite surprised. Her little mouth even opened wide to form an "O".

Perhaps because he had never eaten strawberries before, Jirachi took a bite right at the strawberry's still-white bottom.

Looking at the small notch on the strawberry's bottom, Jirachi chewed it and tilted his head to the side.

Why does it have no flavor at all?

"You have to eat it this way."

Fang Gu reached out, took the strawberry from Jirachi's hand, and pointed the strawberry tip at Jirachi's little mouth.

"This is the sweetest place."

Jirachi feigned surprise, "Kira!" [So that's how it is!]

Then, Jirachi leaned forward and gently bit off the tip of the strawberry. The sweetness of the strawberry, along with its juice, burst in Jirachi's mouth.

Kira covered his face, revealing an exceptionally happy expression.

"Kira!" [So sweet! So delicious!]

Bulbasaur proudly raised its head. This was a strawberry that it, Fang Gu, and its friends had carefully cultivated! Then it threw the strawberry that Fang Gu had wiped into its mouth, chewed it, and showed the same expression as Jirachi.

Fang Gu laughed heartily, sat down cross-legged on the edge of the farmland, took out a seed he had just plucked from a strawberry, dug a small hole with his hand, and buried the seed.

"Jirachi, please grant my wish and make this seed grow quickly and bear fruit."

Jirachi hesitated for a moment, but after seeing Fang Gu's encouraging look, he still activated the energy within his body.

In an instant, the wishing slip on Jirachi's head once again burst forth with blue-green light.

The power of prayer transformed into a thread—no! A small river that stretched out continuously. The "river water" irrigated the seeds in the ground, which sprouted, grew, and bore fruit at a visible speed.

Bulbasaur's mind skipped a beat. Wait a minute! How can this thing ripen so quickly?! Is this reasonable?

Bulbasaur felt its position was threatened once again. Its growth-enhancing move was one of the most important cornerstones of Stardew Valley agriculture. Was it going to be abandoned by the times?

No hehe!

Fang Gu picked a few strawberries from the newly sprouted plant and handed them to Jirachi and Bulbasaur.

This time, Jirachi was smarter; he held up the strawberry and stuffed the pointed end into his mouth.

But after chewing it a couple of times, there was no sweetness at all.

Jirachi looked puzzled, then turned the strawberry over and took a bite of its bottom, a bitter taste filling his mouth.

Jirachi spat out the strawberry in his mouth, as if he had lost all his strength, and even the little cape behind him drooped down.

"Kira." [It doesn't taste good at all. I'm a wishing star that can't grant wishes.]

Fang Gu rubbed Jirachi's head and looked at the land in front of him, which was planted with dazzling "rubies".

"If my wish is to own a strawberry field..."

“I would buy the best seeds and fertilizer from the store, then plant the strawberries, water them every day, and take good care of them.”

"That's how my partners and I were able to grow such delicious strawberries."

“A wish that is not achieved through effort cannot be considered a wish, but rather a desire.”

Fang Gu rubbed Jirachi's head, and the latter was slightly taken aback, touched by Fang Gu's gesture.

"So let's make a wish together, starting with planting the first strawberry plant."

Fang Gu waved the seed bag in his hand at Jirachi; these were leftover seeds from the last strawberry planting.

Coincidentally, Fang Gu had cleared a new piece of land on one side of the original farmland.

"Kira!" [Let's make our wish come true! Sounds amazing!]

Jirachi circled Fang Valley several times, its small cloak casting dappled light.

Bulbasaur breathed a sigh of relief; its position had not been replaced.

whee.

"Bulbasaur, don't just stand there, come here!"

Fang Gu beckoned Bulbasaur over.

…………

In no time at all, Fang Gu, Jirachi, and Bulbasaur had planted all the seeds.

"Kira!" [This is the wish that Fang Gu, Bulbasaur, and I planted together!]

Kirachi's eyes shone brightly, and despite the mud turning his little white hands into little black ones, he gently patted the mound of earth in front of him firmly.
