And Finally....

[these_balls]

A day late, I do apologize, but Saturday's wish-fest have ended on a calm note. Jirachi's wishes are on a steady decline throughout most of Saturday. He's sorry. For the flattened buildings, for ruined bikes, for the castle and Celadon's now damaged PokeMart (now undergoing renovations for the next three months), for the noise complaints. But with his week of fun drawing to a close, Jirachi's exhaustion begins to grow, and he prepares for another thousand years of slumber.

Except, that does not quite go as planned.


Our winner of the Writing Contest is.... Steve! All of the entries were wonderful and great reads with beautiful scenarios, but we could only have one winner. Jirachi is now in Team Rocket Possession as a result of Cobra Commander's rather amusing antics:

“Ssstand still you little-”

This is quickly becoming a complete disaster. Sure, Cobra pretty much had an entire motorpool of stuff he'd wished into existence, all of it nonfunctioning, a command center, also nonfunctioning, various Rocket goons (functioning but useless here), and his Pokemon, but this stupid legendary thing won't stay still long enough for any of them to grab it.

In fact, his most recent attempt sent him nosediving into the ground, which is slightly better than three attempts ago when his Talonflame accidentally torched one of the NPC Grunts. And as he gets back up, he'll start issuing orders again like he didn't just make a complete fool of himself.

“Corner him you idiots! Do I have to do everything mysssself? Ugh, I wish you'd sssstop moving so we could just...just...”

And even Cobra's at a loss for words because that really shouldn't have worked. Because it's completely ridiculous. Like wishing for more wishes levels of ridiculous. But apparently it did in fact work, because for the moment, Jirachi's standing completely still. Or floating. Or whatever it is Jirachi does.

So of course he's going to act now before it has a chance to snap out of it or someone wishes for something else.

“Quick throw it in the bag and alert the others!”

He could do it himself, but no, that's what he has henchRockets for. They can handle the ahem, Grunt work as it were.

Thank you to everyone who submitted, and congratulations to Steve! Cobra Commander is given P1000 and a coupon for a free weekend stay at the Ecruteak Hot Springs. Places damaged will be renovated or rebuilt over the next two months, so please don't tamper with the construction sites. Thanks to everyone for participating!
