 Kayla saw the ghost girl shift into a Zorua with amazment. Now, everything makes sense. All this things that had happened was proably caused by this Zorua to deter those who wish the Jirachi harm.
Kayla goes up to the Zorua slowly but keeping her distance as to now making it angry.
"Zorua, I have no intention to use Jirachi's powers. If I could free all trapped pokemon whether it's by force or unwittingly, then I would do my best to free it. If I could grant Jirachi's wish, I will." Kayla tried to think on what could Jirachi want. It did go all the trouble to test the humans and the bond of our pokemon. Maybe it wants that too. To be with someone and not alone. Kayla looked up at Zorua again. "The only way I wish I can give is my friendship and my pokemon will offer theirs as well. Not because I demand it but because they want to."
Kayla touched Arcanine!Snookie, who took a deep sigh of happiness and rumble of agreement. "Snookie and I have been great friends. I never caught him, really. He stuck with me because he wanted to. I have no control over him. Even if he mainly stick for the sweets..." Kayla smiled fondly while Snookie gave a happy bark in agreement again. "If Jirachi let us go back to the real world, I would never ever take that friendship away from Jirachi or any pokemon who follows me back."
Kayla took out a pokeball and held it in her palms. "Would you like to see for yourself my promise to you, Jiarchi and any other pokemon?"

@Pandashroom:
Oyumi had been just about to respond when her eyes flicked up to see the mysterious girl change into... Something. A Zorua, the others had said. But she hadn't the faintest clue what that particular pokémon was. She'd never been to its home region, and all she knew was what she'd heard so far. But the questions it had asked, she could certainly understand why they were being asked.
She glanced briefly towards Fuutarou, who hesitated for mere moments before nodding towards the small pokémon. A silent acknowledgment, an approval, even. His voice filled her head in that way she had come to welcome, and after so long with him as a partner she couldn't imagine having such a mental connection like this with anyone else.
'Go ahead, Oyumi. Answer it. But choose your words carefully. I have a feeling they will weigh heavily on our future.'
Oyumi nodded, reaching out to briefly touch Fuutarou's shoulder in a small gesture to reassure herself before stepping forward. Only to realize that she hadn't really thought this through and she hadn't the faintest clue what to say. For a moment she caught her lower lip between her teeth, thinking about what had been said and what she knew. The vision that had come to all of them during that moment not too terribly long ago. And suddenly she felt like she knew.
Really, it was so obvious.
"I think I could grant its wish. It was taken all this way, away from everything it knew and all of its friends... And while I don't think I can return it, I think I can give it what it needs. It certainly doesn't need its power to be used anymore. One thousand years is a long time to spend all alone in an unfamiliar place. It woke up frightened, and it would be horrible for it to go back to sleep frightened as well."
She paused a moment, taking a breath and trying to steel her nerves further. This was it. She was either right or she was wrong. There was no turning back now.
"But what it needs more than anything is a friend. A home. And I think it could find that here. If not with me, than surely with one of these other trainers. We all want to go home, but it wants that just as much. But none of us know where its home is, and I don't think it'd be able to tell us... So its best chance is to be a companion to someone in this group, right? To find a friend here. Someone it can rely on and trust to keep it safe. Someone who can be not only its friend, but who can be its home. The one thing it knows it can always return to, and the one thing that will always meet it with open arms and a warm embrace."
As she continued, Oyumi couldn't help but feel bolstered by her words. Without even realizing it, she'd drawn herself up, took another step forward even though she could go no closer to the Zorua. This had to be it. She just knew it.
"I think... No, I'm sure it could find that with someone here."
That said, the ninja fell into silence. All she could do now is wait, and hope her words had reached the Zorua. Hope that she had been right, and what she'd said had resonated with it.

For Musical
Alright she might have cringed a little at the man's words. Yep, she'd already known he'd prefer to be on his own. Which Arlii did feel bad about sticking near him. It wasn't fully her fault though. In such a sea of people, it was a comfort to know one face among them. Even if he was still mostly a trainer. His words though, Arlii considered what he'd said before turning her gaze back towards the Zorua. And it didn't slip her notice that his Absol seemed a little more welcoming than he was. Something that was a little amusing to the girl.

Natalie rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't imagining this. Did that girl really turned into a Zorua!? She thought about what Zorua said. " Leaving Jirachi asleep for a thousand years of loneliness would be sad... Going home would be nice, but Jirachi seemed to have gone through a lot of pain...." She tries to think of a way where both the people trapped in the Dream World would still go home without Jirachi sleeping for a thousand years.
Though, it's seems as though she couldn't think of a solution. Not a word came from her mouth anymore.

Katie looked up as the girl on the stairs melted away, revealing... what was that thing? Some kind of pokémon? And that question... It was hard to think about much of anything other than getting out of here, anything besides saving her own skin and that of the other humans. But... something had led to this situation, and the way that Jirachi was feeling, well, this was going to take some thought. She leaned back against the wall, and tried to think, absentmindedly stroking the rattata she carried as she did so. "It's so easy to just want to get out of here and forget about the Jirachi," she murmured quietly, only to herself. "But... it must be hard... living the life it does, waking up all alone, being surrounded by new people and pokémon because you sleep through the lives of all those you've met before..." She sighed and looked down at the rattata, biting her lip. "I hate that it's trapped us here, and I want to go home... but if I were Jirachi, I think I'd be more scared than I am now... I'd just want to be safe, to be with everyone I cared about... I don't know how I could grant something like that, I mean... I don't even have any pokemon with me, and it seems so frightened of humans.."Sighing again, she glanced briefly at the Zorua before looking over at Oyumi and fuutarou. "If we could take it with us when we left, to keep it awake long enough to know that it's safe and happy and not alone... to give it someone - just one person or pokémon that it could trust... that's all it needs, I think. And if I can help it find that person, I will."[Rental Rattata's HP: 800/800]POKEBALL GO!!

Flint stared in wonder at the Zorua shifted right in front
of their eyes. What was it jriachi wanted? a friend? to be home? He stepped forward tentatively and spoke up to answer. " i dont know if i can grant its wish, but i would do my best. It would be horrible to just leave it with its loneliness, as afriend to pokemon, i could never do that..." he said and shook his head sadly, he wanted out but he wanted to help the Jirachi too

A Zorua? That would explain so much about this girl and her relationship with this place. But when the small fox Pokemon spoke, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Not this again." She moaned. "It seems like a wild Pokemon, especially legendaries, have this misconception that all humans are evil and want to use them for only their own personal benefit. And it's not true. If you've been watching us in this mansion all this time, you'd know that most of us carely deeply for our Pokemon. They're not just creatures to us, but companions, partners and friends.
"Does Jirachi think that it can only have Pokemon friends? Yes it might've had a bad experience with one or two humans but it can't dismiss an entire race based on the actions of one bad apple. None of us will make it fall asleep again and live its life in loneliness if it doesn't want to. If it wants to have friends, then it can have friends. But it doesn't have to get rid of humans doing so!"

 Zoey closed her eyes, attempting to recollect the memories that had been briefly shown to them during their experience in the dream world. The answer seemed simple enough. Jirachi wanted to go back home. Back to the familiarity of the mansion and the Pokemon that dwelled there. But the young woman had a hunch that there was more to it than that simple wish. Jirachi didn't necessarily want to go back home. He wanted a home. To enjoy the companionship of friends and family. To be free of the bonds that confined him for so long. "It's elementary my dear Zorua," Zoey began, attempting to lighten the tension in the air. "I wouldn't wish for Jirachi to go back home. Not all. I'd wish for Jirachi to have a true home. To have a family. To have friends. To enjoy life as it's truly mean to be enjoyed." Zoey could feel the comforting presence of her Pokemon and it seemed to give her strength to continue. "Look, not all people are bad...And I'm going to prove by personally seeing to it that Jirachi finds a proper home. I don't know if that home is with any of us or maybe far away from here. But I swear that I'll find a loving home. Cross my hear. So all that I can ask of you Zorua, is to offer me that chance to do so." POKEBALL GO!! Spook (800/800 hp)

Genesis watched expressionlessly as the human girl transformed into a Zorua, her red and black pelt and face a mirror of the pain that Jirachi was no doubt feeling. The legendary Pokémon was away from home, brought to Zatao only for the selfish reasons of others – nearly caged for that very reason – and separated from all it had known and cared for and loved. And here, its mansion had been trashed, its new friends caught (and, for all it new, enslaved), and people were assaulting it with even more wishes, wanting to go home, when everything Jirachi had done was to fulfill that very same wish, but for itself.
And so, when the Zorua spoke, when it asked the question that reverberated along the walls and silenced both human and Pokémon alike, she could only respond with one word, a word that many had heard before, had spoken themselves, had received as a response with both good and bad and mixed results. It was a word that could deliver such a variety of news, could just as easily stir hope as it could crush it, could affect so much.
“No.”
Her brows furrowed in response and her fists clenched by her side. The Jirachi wanted to go home, but they all did. Its wish was conflicting with her own, and one that, with its status, was impossible to grant. If it meant its wish or hers, she would always choose the latter. If it simply wanted to be returned, it would only be caught again. That was the problem that came with such power and status. It could have the ability to help others, but only few could return that favor, and she wasn’t arrogant enough to think she was one of them. Even if she tried, even if she did her best, the world wouldn’t change for just one person’s or Pokémon’s sake. What the Jirachi was doing now was proof of it – in its own effort to return home, it had to try and destroy the one they had come from.
POKEBALL GO!

Well, she certainly didn't expect the ghost girl to be a Zorua. Angie shifted nervously on her feet at the Zorua's question, not sure what to say. If she remembered correctly from the trip on the rainbow bridge, Jirachi had just wanted to be home.
"Technically, we wouldn't be able to grant Jirachi's wish exactly. We won't be able to give it its mansion exactly how it was ages ago, with all its Pokemon friends and no humans at all. But... We could give it a new home? So it won't be lonely, and have even more friends. It just needs to give us a chance." Angie shrugged, not sure of her words. "You get what I mean?"

((Thanks for all the entries everyone! So after some deliberation, I chose Kitsu's entry because it not only caught onto the fact that Jirachi's wish really didn't end at having a mansion or returning back to Unova, but was overall well written and I especially enjoyed reading it :> ))
The Zorua nodded at the humans' responses. At least one of them could understand that Jirachi needed something more than just returning to Unova. All of its revived friends had been captured already, and, as much as they would have loved to, Zorua doubted they could stay in this mansion built of wishes together. They were already imposing on a city and it knew about the strength of humans - it had lived the longest life out of the group. The humans would find a way to beak Jirachi's dreams - when this happened, Zorua wanted the human that did so to provide Jirachi with another dream. A dream of a new home, a real home not crafted out of memories.
No one can hide in the past forever; they would have to move on to the future.
"Very well then, you may proceed." The Zorua stated, fading out once again.
Later, Oyumi noticed that one of her pokeballs just got...heavier? "Go on," a voice seemed to whisper from the ball.

@Anyone
When the Zorua faded away Xander looked up the stairs. He wondered if there would be any more surprises but hoped not. He put a hand on Rei's snout and lightly rubbed it. "Guess it's time to proceed on." He said then started to walk.

Flint smiled, it seemed someone was able to appease the Zorua, now hopefully they could move on without so much trouble. Eager to get out of here Flint began walking again, energy returning and his step quickening as he realized progress was actually being made
