it is one hundred years beyond the time that you know. this story begins a century from now, weeks after the millennium comet hit the earth. the world has changed since the present: technology has advanced and cities have expanded and the notorious team rocket has all but overshadowed any other villainous organizations in existence. places where once only pokémon roamed have now been overtaken by settlements, and the population of hoenn has swelled in numbers. streets are cluttered with buses and taxis and in a way, the wonder of being a 'pokémon trainer' has faded. parents are no longer sending their children into the world with nothing but a pair of running shoes and a pikachu. pokémon are blending in as pets and majority of the trainers nowadays are law enforcers or military officials or often times criminals. it's become a fad to own one or two pokémon and have them bat at each other for the park, but since the people for the ethical treatment of pokémon [PETP] became popular, giant pokémon battles haven't been seen in a long time.
and team rocket is no longer a name to be scoffed at, or a legend that existed long ago. perhaps they started becoming more of a threat when they stopped using zubats and started using guns. or maybe it was when they stopped parading around in their black uniforms and started blending in with everyone else. they fell around a century ago, at the hands of a trainer who nowadays is simply known as 'red'. team rocket was dissolved, for over forty years. it was an ambitious man that lived in hoenn that came across the idea to revive team rocket. his criminal organization mirrored that of the original team rocket's, except it was constructed more like that of a mafia. for forty-two years the words 'team rocket' meant nothing. until this new criminal organization made their attack. a group of about fifteen vigilantes downed in black with incredibly powerful pokémon took the hoenn silph corporation headquarters hostage, proclaiming themselves to be 'team rocket'. they surrounded the building and captured the employees inside, threatening to kill their prisoners if the police force attempted to enter the building. they demanded five million dollars and in the end they got it, vanishing after the attack. the police combed the town for any trace of team rocket or their base, but the criminals had just melted back into the city.
team rocket is still alive and kicking, though that's certainly not the most crucial part of this plot. everyone's heard of the millennium comet that passes through the sky every night for seven days, and is rumored to awaken a pokémon with the ability to grant wishes. many disregard the story of the wish-granting pokémon as a fairytale, but the comet is real enough. recently the millennium comet collided with another astronomical object, fragmenting it into pieces and throwing it off orbit. this resulted in a large chunk of the comet breaking through the atmosphere and falling into the ocean outside of hoenn. two and a half weeks prior to this event, a ten year old girl and her eighteen year old sister had been exploring the caverns on the outskirts of mt. chimney. the ten year old came across a strange purple crystal that somehow had the ability to talk and smuggled it back to her house. not even a day after the comet struck earth, the rock suddenly hatched into a small white pokémon, that neither girls know exactly what to do with.
with part of the millennium comet permanently on earth, jirachi's been awakened irregularly and for an unknown amount of time. it's only a matter of time before someone else finds out about its existence, and there certainly would be a lot of people who would want to get their hands on a wish-granting pokémon...
