Blurb

The Millennium Comet is about to make its long-awaited appearance in the sky again, supposedly granting the wishes of all those who see it in the skies above them. Of course, Ash and friends are equally interested in the Millennium Festival, especially when they attend a magic performance by the Great Butler. Even more interesting is the mysterious cocoon in Butler’s possession—from which Max hears a mysterious voice calling! When Jirachi emerges from its slumber, Max has a new friend—sadly, it’s only for the brief few days that the Millennium Comet appears in the sky.

Max is anxious to make the most of his time with his new friend, but the Great Butler has his own plans for Jirachi, which are not so friendly. He wants to revive the Legendary Groudon, and Jirachi just might be able to grant that wish.

Can Max, Ash, May, and Brock stop Butler and save Jirachi before Groudon reappears to reign destruction over the land?

Plot

Once every thousand years, the Millennium Comet is visible from earth for only seven nights, and now the time for it to appear among the stars has arrived again. Ash and his friends arrive at the location where a festival is due to be held to celebrate the comet's arrival. However, despite Brock's guidebook guiding them to the correct spot, there's no sign of a festival or even anything but open plains. As it's late at night, everyone decides to get some sleep and resume the search the next morning.

During the night, Pikachu, shortly followed by Ash, is awakened by the sound of trucks in the distance. Soon, the entire gang has been stirred from their sleep by the sudden commotion and goes to investigate. The group watches in excitement as an amusement park is constructed by a crew of workers right before their very eyes. Suddenly, in an open area, two trucks appear. A purple-haired man exits one of the trucks carrying a trunk, which he sets on the ground before producing a wand. He taps the trunk with the wand, and it opens and starts releasing pink balloons, which he hits away with the wand, sending the balloons bouncing. A woman appears with two fans in her hands and swats the balloons in the opposite direction. The balloons form a circle and pop, each seemingly containing a wooden stand within. As if by magic, a huge tent slowly starts to take shape, leaving the group staring in amazement. Soon, the festival begins.

Day One of the Millennium Comet

The day is spent by the gang enjoying the various rides and attractions of the Millennium Festival. Team Rocket are naturally nearby, but they don't have time to enjoy themselves as they've been put to work handing out flyers to everyone to announce "The Great Butler's Magic Show" while disguised as clowns. Ash picks up one of the flyers, and Max notices that the flyer features the magician they saw last night, creating the tent. The gang decides to check the show out, thinking that if he can do a magic show as well as he can create a tent, then they're in for a treat.

Soon, the gang is watching the show, and it's turning out to be even better than expected. After creating a flock of Swablu out of thin air, Butler, the purple-haired magician, puts his white hat on an empty table and taps it with his wand before lifting it up to reveal a Kirlia underneath. A Mightyena comes and takes that hat from Butler as he prepares for another trick. Butler seals Kirlia in a box, puts a red cloth over it, and sets it ablaze. From the smoke appears Diane, Butler's assistant, carrying a crystal. Brock enthusiastically applauds the trick. Glowing rays come out of the crystal, and Max suddenly hears a voice. The voice tells him that it is sealed inside the crystal. Max rushes to the scene, followed by Ash. Max tells Butler that he heard a voice from the crystal. Butler claims their arrival was in impeccable timing for his next trick, the Burning Box. Jessie and James, still disguised as clowns, roll out the box and put Ash and Max in it, while Butler summons Dusclops. Butler tells the audience that Ash, Max, and Pikachu are fellow magicians and will escape the box in ten seconds before his Dusclops destroys it with Hyper Beam. Butler begins to countdown from ten, and the entire audience is on tenterhooks, especially May and Brock. Finishing the countdown, Butler orders Dusclops to use Hyper Beam. Dusclops fires at the box, but before it hits, Ash and Max fall through the floor and are transported by a machine underneath the stage back to the entrance of the dome. Butler asks the crowd to give a round of applause to Ash and Max as spotlights are placed on the two. Ash laps up the applause, while Max isn't sure what to do. May wonders if Ash and Max will tell her how they did the trick, while all Brock is hoping for is that he gets introduced to Diane.

Ash is still waving to the crowd when Team Rocket, suspended from a balloon, grabs Pikachu off his back and puts him in an electricity-proof container while also removing their disguises. Ash demands Pikachu back, but Team Rocket claim they’ve prepared a trick of their own: they're going to make Pikachu and all the other Pokémon disappear, as Kirlia and Mightyena are shown captured in a net having also been nabbed. Meowth, having been waiting on the side, opens the roof and then joins his teammates as they make their getaway. Ash goes to send out one of his Pokémon; however, Butler stops him as he has one more trick up his sleeve. He orders Dusclops to use Will-O-Wisp, which sends Pikachu flying back to Ash, who decides to do an encore by having Pikachu fire a trusty Thunderbolt, giving the trio quite the shock and releasing Butler's Pokémon. Butler has Dusclops finish things off with Night Shade, which sends Team Rocket blasting off again. The audience applauds loudly, and May notes that the audience thinks Team Rocket were part of the act. Max is relieved everything worked out but is still curious about Butler's crystal.

After the show, Max asks Butler and Diane about the crystal, and they respond by saying the crystal contains a Pokémon named Jirachi. Butler tells everyone that Jirachi only awakens once every 1000 years, and is sleeping inside the crystal, which acts like a cocoon. To wake up Jirachi, the crystal needs two things; the Millennium Comet to be visible in the night sky and a best friend chosen by destiny. Max happens to be the chosen one, so Butler gives him the crystal. As the comet is due to appear in the sky that night it seems Max's new friend will awaken soon.

 
May's wishmaker

At twilight, May buys a wishmaker, a sacred item that can grant one wish when its panels are closed while facing the comet. The stallholder, Bogie, tells May that she has to close a flap on the wishmaker every night the comet is in the sky to make her wish come true. Soon, fireworks are going off to celebrate the arrival of the comet, with many of the fireworks taking the form of Pokémon. Afterward, the fair closes down for the night.

Ash, May, and Brock talk about how the world can change in a thousand years as the clouds begin to part, revealing the Millennium Comet glowing magnificently in the night sky. Soon Max is asleep with the crystal in his arms. May starts singing her mother's lullaby. As Max sleeps, the crystal starts to glow, waking him up. A voice once again emanates from the crystal, this time with the entire group hearing it. Close by, another creature has sensed Jirachi's reawakening. It is Absol, the Disaster Pokémon. It takes off towards the festival, heading for Jirachi. The crystal floats into the air, a mysterious light surrounds it, and Jirachi appears. Everyone introduces themselves to a newly awakened Jirachi. Diane comes running over to the group, and Max tells her that the prophecy was true. Diane says that she’ll go tell Butler and welcomes the group to camp out in their bus for the night. Inside, Max asks Jirachi if it really can grant wishes and wishes for candy. At first, nothing appears to have happened, so everyone believes that Jirachi can't actually grant wishes. Then Ash points out a bag of potato chips on Max's lap. More and more snacks start to appear, filling the whole bus until the quantity becomes so great that it causes the back doors of the bus to burst open. Diane and Butler rush over to see what has happened. Max tells them he wished for candy, and Jirachi granted his wish. Diane picks up some cheese puffs, looks at them, and says they’re the same from the snack bar whose merchandise has vanished. Butler explains that Jirachi didn't create the treats; it teleported them away. May gets irate and blames Max for this. Ashamed, he asks what he and Jirachi should do. Brock suggests teleporting the food back to the store. If Jirachi was able to get the candies from the store, it should also be able to teleport them back there. May yells at Jirachi to "get rid of the problem." Jirachi complies, but from its point of view, "the problem" to get rid of is May, not the snacks. As such, it teleports May into the stockpile of snacks before proceeding to fall asleep, leaving the others to take the candies back to the store themselves.

Day Two of the Millennium Comet

The sun rises on a brand new day as Max eagerly waits for Jirachi to wake up, which it soon does, and in no time is happily flying around Butler's van. With Team Rocket having left Butler's employment, Ash and Brock are now his new clowns. Max goes to the amusement park with Jirachi, and the two have fun together the whole day. At twilight, Absol is seen running up a cliff overlooking the park. May is then shown wheeling a lighting rig to another part of the circus, but it hits a piece of wood and starts to fall. She asks for Max's help; however, Jirachi is far more interested in playing than helping and steals Max's glasses and starts a game of chase, resulting in both May and the lighting rig taking a tumble. After Max catches Jirachi, he hears an eerie sound coming from a mirror. The mirror breaks, revealing Absol. Butler recognizes Absol, a Pokémon that is known to appear just before a disaster. Absol runs after Max and Jirachi. May, seeing her brother in danger, summons Torchic and orders an Ember, but the attack is far too weak, and Absol just shakes it off. Ash sends in Pikachu, telling him to use Thunderbolt, which succeeds in hurting Absol, sending it flying back, but also making it even angrier. Jirachi tells Max that Absol is here for it and then teleports Pikachu and Torchic away. The two reappear outside, just above the tent, and fall, landing softly on its roof. Now nothing is protecting Max and Jirachi; however, Absol changes targets and starts to rush towards the rest of the gang when Butler opens a booby trap that it falls into. Absol, now trapped in a cage, is raised back up to the stage and put to sleep with a Hypnosis from Butler's Kirlia. Max tries to question Jirachi about Absol, but the ordeal has left it exhausted, and it falls asleep.

At night, May sits on a rock while everybody else is sleeping and folds the second panel of her wishmaker. She notices Butler heading back towards the tent with something in his hands. It is revealed to be Jirachi, whom Butler sets down on a machine. Diane tries to talk Butler out of what he is about to do, but he brushes her concerns off, claiming he knows what he’s doing. Butler presses a button, activating the machine, which releases some sort of energy wave that suppresses Jirachi's movements. Butler reveals his intentions to use Jirachi’s “true eye” to create Groudon and get his revenge on Team Magma, who, prior to the film, fired him and made a mockery of his work when his invention failed to create the Continent Pokémon before the Team Magma Council. He instructs Jirachi to open its true eye and absorb the Millennium Comets power. Jirachi refuses to do so; however, Butler informs it that it doesn't have a choice and orders his Dusclops to use Psychic to force the matter. Jirachi writhers in pain as Absol, still trapped in the cage, tries fruitlessly to escape and come to its aid. Back at the bus, May wakes Ash and the others up to inform them that Jirachi is gone, which causes Max to frantically start looking for his friend. Still being tortured by Dusclops, Jirachi's eye is finally forced open and fires a beam up towards the comet, which is spotted by the gang. The comet reflects the beam back towards Jirachi, obliterating Butler's machine in the process and leaving Jirachi severely injured on the ground. Ash and his friends are horrified, and Max rushes to Jirachi's side. Butler marvels at the power that was just on display, as Max angrily demands to know what he'd done to Jirachi. Butler assures Max that he'll take care of it, but Max refuses to hand Jirachi over to him. Diane makes another attempt to reason with Butler to stop what he's doing. He insists that what he is doing is for her; however, Diane rejects this, leaving him stunned. He then spots Max attempting to run away with Jirachi and orders Dusclops to stop him, but Pikachu intervenes. Jirachi tells Max its wish to return home to Forina. Before Max can inquire more, May grabs him by the arm, and the siblings make their escape with Jirachi and the others, including Diane. Breaking free of its cage, Absol fires an attack at Butler and Dusclops to prevent them from halting the get-away. As the group drives away in the bus, Butler sends out Mightyena in pursuit, who manages to stick a tracker under the bus. Inside the bus, Diane explains to the gang Butler's backstory, plan, and what factor Jirachi plays in all of it. Everyone decides that taking Jirachi back to Forina is the best solution, as they drive off into the night. Meanwhile, Butler tracks their movements and prepares to pursue them, ejecting an aircraft-like device from his van.

Day Three of the Millennium Comet

Diane is driving everyone out across some very bumpy terrain, which manages to destroy the tracker. Inside, when Ash falls, with May, Max and Jirachi laugh. When night comes, Brock starts cooking and May closes the Wish Maker's third panel and then joins Diane in the bus. She tells her that she and Butler were childhood friends and the last time she saw a delighted Butler was long ago. However, Butler eventually joined Team Magma, and proposed that he could revive a Groudon from a fossil he discovered. However, when he attempted to demonstrate this, he only managed to destroy the equipment. Butler realized he would need a lot more power before the restoration would work, but this wasn't good enough for the Team Magma leaders, and Butler was laughed out of the organization. Butler now plans to use Jirachi to channel the power of the Millennium Comet using the true eye.

Day Four of the Millennium Comet

The majority of the day is spent driving. The bus gets stuck in the mud, so everyone helps to get it out. Afterward, everyone is covered in mud, and all laugh. At night, Ash and Max have fun skipping stones on the lake, and Max wins. May folds the fourth panel of her Wish Maker.

Day Five of the Millennium Comet

Once again, the day is spent mostly driving, and Jirachi notices Max is sad about something. That night, May folds the fifth panel of her Wish Maker. However, Max snaps at her for doing it, as it is a reminder that he has only two days left with Jirachi. He runs off in distress, and Ash follows to talk to him. Ash assures Max that really good friends never really leave, and tells him that he recently separated from one of his best friends, and although he misses her a lot, he knows that she's still with him in spirit. Max cheers up, knowing that he and Jirachi will still be friends even if separated.

Day Six of the Millennium Comet

The group arrives at Forina, Jirachi's homeland. Many other Pokémon live there, such as Nuzleaf, Breloom, Tropius, Linoone, Flygon, and Altaria. May folds the sixth panel of her Wish Maker and the gang prepares to sleep, everyone except Max, who knows tomorrow he and Jirachi will part. He plans to remain awake and play with Jirachi when everyone else has fallen asleep, however, he drops off to sleep when May sings the lullaby.

Day Seven of the Millennium Comet

 
Brock and May trapped in Meta Groudon

Absol leads the gang to a cave, the same cave where Jirachi absorbs the comet's power and falls asleep for another 1000 years. As Jirachi is going to open his Millennium Eye, spikes come out of the walls and purple energy beams capture Jirachi. Butler (who has been waiting for the gang) is finally going to bring Groudon back to life. Then he sets all the machines to A-OK, while Absol and Flygon break the spikes. Flygon takes Ash and Max for a ride, and they manage to get Jirachi back, while Butler sends his Salamence to fight against them. The being slowly rises as Butler watches, forming what appears to be Groudon as the gang stands behind it, however, it becomes clear that rather than resurrecting a real Groudon all Butler has done is create a monster with Groudon's shape. Meta Groudon starts sucking energy from the earth as Absol attacks it. Meta Groudon's left claws become slimy blue-green tentacles and engulf Absol away. Meta Groudon rear spikes become tentacles, too, chasing every Pokémon. Team Rocket arrives but gets engulfed as Meta Groudon is trying to get the Altaria. A scene is shown in Meta Groudon's stomach; Absol, many other Pokémon, and Team Rocket. Other Pokémon are getting "eaten" while Butler claims this isn't the Groudon he wanted, as if Groudon was an evil beast. Having the taste not only for Pokémon energy, but also human energy, Meta Groudon was going to eat Butler, but Diane blocks the tentacle and gets sucked in instead. Butler realizes how to stop Meta Groudon; put Jirachi back on the machine and reverse the polarity. With the help of Ash, he gets to the machine, while May and Brock get eaten. Butler makes an ill movement and drops the shard with Groudon's data but Ash manages to catch it and bring it back to Butler. As soon as the machine is started, Meta Groudon approaches and launches its tentacles on Jirachi, but Butler shields Jirachi and gets sucked instead. Meta Groudon, angry, pours its gooey substance over the machine, but Jirachi starts glowing. Meta Groudon is slowly dragged by a white meteor made by Jirachi to the Millennium Comet and then explodes, releasing all Pokémon and humans alike it ate. Jirachi descends the sky and asks Max one final wish; the lullaby. Everyone starts singing while Jirachi returns inside the crystal and sinks into the earth. Max cries for a short time and wishes Jirachi a good night and sweet dreams.

The End of the Millennium Comet

The next morning, Butler and Diane announce that they have decided to stay in Forina, having realized that the only important thing is that they are together. They offer the group a ride back to town. Then Brock reminds May of her Wish Maker. She takes it out only to see that, to her disappointment, she didn't fold the "Day 7 of the Wishing Star" flap. However, she says it doesn't matter after all, because we all have to make our dreams come true anyway. Ash agrees, saying that by wishing for a dream to come true, one would lose the fun that comes with pursuing the dream. As the group leaves, Jirachi communicates to Max using telepathy, saying that they will always stay best friends forever.

Trivia

  • This movie was released between AG034 and AG035 in Japan. However, it chronologically takes place sometime after AG036, as Ash and his friends hadn't left Slateport City yet.
  • The prologue for this movie shows some of the main Legendary and Mythical Pokémon from the first five movies: Mewtwo, Lugia, Entei, Celebi, Latios, and Latias, as well as Ho-oh. However, Mew, the legendary birds, and Suicune were absent.
  • This is the first Pokémon movie:
    • To go directly to home video for its American release.
    • To not feature the season's theme song during the opening credits.
    • In which a villainous team other than Team Rocket makes an appearance.
    • To distribute Mythical Pokémon as event Pokémon rather than just feature them.
  • The ending song, Make a Wish, is the first time that the English dub left the Japanese ending theme in. It was also combined with English lyrics performed by Cindy Mizelle.
    • May's singing voice is also retained in the dub.
  • The clown outfits that Jessie, James, and Meowth wear in the movie are later reused in DP010.
  • This movie is referenced in Pokémon Colosseum by way of a Trainer named Rider Zalla who owns a Jirachi (the star), Flygon, Absol (wild Pokémon befriended during the movie), Kirlia, Mightyena, and a Dusclops (Pokémon belonging to Butler). She can be found as the 77th Trainer on Battle Mode's Single Battle on Mt. Battle.
    • Also, in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the two Ace Trainers that appear on the southernmost part of Route 229 have their teams based on those of Butler and Diane. In fact, in the Japanese version, they have the same names as them, but the English translation team did not notice the relation to the movie characters.
  • May's rival Drew eventually obtains an Absol and Flygon, two of the main non-Legendary Pokémon of the movie.
  • Throughout Tropius's appearances, instead of using its actual anime cry, it uses the same "slurp" noise from when it was eating fruit.
  • Even though Treecko and Mudkip appear on the box cover, they never even appear in the main story of the movie. In fact, out of all the main characters' Pokémon, Pikachu and Torchic were the only two to appear, with two exceptions outside of the main plot, the opening sequence when Treecko, Mudkip, and the main characters' other Pokémon do appear while eating and the ending beach scene. They do both, however, appear in fireworks in the movie.
  • When traveling to Forina, an instrumental version of Advance Adventure is played in the background and on the DVD main menu.
  • This is the last Pokémon movie released to UK DVD until The Rise of Darkrai years later.
  • This is the only Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire movie in which a Generation IV Pokémon does not appear.
  • This was the last movie that Tomiko Suzuki (Voice of Jirachi) lent her voice. Tomiko died of a heart attack a week and a half before the theatrical release.
  • While the previous two movies kept the original Japanese background music for the main feature, this is the first movie to keep the title sequence music in the English dub.
  • This movie aired for the first time in Italy on March 16, 2012, almost 8 years after the American release. It has been the last Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire movie to air, and so far it is the movie that aired with the longest gap.
  • During the ending credits, several real world constellations appear. The constellations are used as the frame for various Pokémon alluding to their names and mythology:
  • There were unusual changes made in several dubs for this movie and Destiny Deoxys, leaving many fans intrigued by the reasons:
    • In Latin America, both movies were dubbed in Argentina (the usual dubbing is located in Mexico), by an entirely different voice cast and were aired only in some local channels.
      • The voice cast also changed completely in the Dutch and Finnish dubs (in Finland, the same cast was also in the fifth movie).
    • In Spain, the two movies were not dubbed at all.
  • Until Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice nearly a decade later, this was the last Pokémon movie to air a Pikachu short alongside the movie.
  • This is the last Pokémon movie to use a different CGI title sequence for the Japanese and dubbed versions, as well as the first movie where title sequence fanfare is the same in both versions.

Errors

 
Original German cover art
  • When Ash and his friends start running to the cliff overlooking the festival, Brock has his guidebook in his right hand, but when they reach the cliff, it is in his left.
    • Shortly after, it disappears.
  • When May sits down with Max while he is sleeping with the crystal, Brock's sleeves are given an orange lining.
  • Jirachi uses Teleport, a move that it cannot legally learn.
  • When Ash tells Flygon to watch out, Salamence's lower jaw is colored blue instead of gray. This also happens after Ash tells Pikachu and Max to free Jirachi.
  • In the English dub, during the magic show, Butler calls for his Dusclops to use an attack called "Capitata", while in the Japanese version, Butler says 'Onibi!' which is Will-O-Wisp's official Japanese name. It is unknown how the name "Capitata" got into the script or final product, but it seems that every dub used 'Capitata!' rather than Will-O-Wisp.
  • The original German DVD cover used the art and logo from Destiny Deoxys, but this has since been fixed.

Dub edits

  • In the beginning, Ash says the person who last comes up the hill is a Slowpoke (May calls Max a Slowbro). However, in most translations from English, the joke was eliminated, replacing "slow" to each language's response.
  • In the English dub, when Ash is talking with Max, he talks about friendship and makes a reference to Misty, though not by name. In the original Japanese version, Ash says to Max that a thousand years for Jirachi and its comet could be just an instant and it wouldn't be the same traveling with him. He remarks that he's not able to explain the thing very clearly.
  • In the Brazilian dub, Jirachi is referred to as female rather than male, even being voiced by a female.
  • In the English dub, Japanese text is removed from the magic show posters.
  • In the English dub, Team Rocket doesn't want Jirachi to teleport away before they make their wish. In the original Japanese version, they simply wish for promotions.
  • In the English dub, Ash is the one who identifies Absol when it attacks. In the original Japanese version, Brock is the one who identifies Absol.
  • In the English dub, Katsuyuki Konishi's voice for Salamence is completely removed, and it instead makes generic dinosaur noises by Frank Welker.
