==Synopsis==
==Plot==
Outside the Battle Palace, {{spe|Ruby}}, {{spe|Sapphire}} gasp in shock as [[Palace Maven Spenser]] without warning, suddenly comes to them and uses his staff to raise up Sapphire's chin. The old man stares into her eyes and much to their amazement, comes to know that Sapphire has had some contact with the legendary myhical [[Blue Orb]], which has the power to control the [[legendary Pokémon|legendary titan]] {{p|Kyogre}}.
{{spoilers}}
As {{FB|Palace Maven|Spenser}} puts his staff up to {{adv|Sapphire}}'s chin, she asks what he's doing. Spenser states that he can tell something about Sapphire from her eyes. {{adv|Ruby}} has {{p|Castform|Fofo}} attack with {{m|Weather Ball}}, but Spenser knocks him to the ground with his staff. Spenser states that by looking at her eyes, he can tell that Sapphire touched the {{DL|Colored orbs|Blue Orb}}. As he talks to her, Ruby pulls out a Memory Lighter and ignites it.


Inside the Battle Dome, the final tournament match between {{spe|Emerald}} and {{Tucker}} continues. {{p|Charizard}} continues to attack {{p|Metagross}} with {{m|Overheat}}, while the {{2t|Steel|Psychic}}-type Pokémon uses every effort to protect itself from the flames.
Inside the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Dome}}, {{adv|Emerald}} has {{p|Metagross}} attempt to defend itself from {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}}'s {{p|Charizard}}. As the [[Frontier Brain]]s look excitedly at the battle, {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} leaves to discuss something with [[Scott]]. {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} asks {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} how he found out a way to find {{p|Jirachi}}. Noland reveals that he had captured three {{p|Smeargle}} from [[Artisan Cave]] the day before.


{{Brandon}} says that Tucker is almost unbeatable in {{pkmn|battle}}, while the others look on. Suddenly, [[Scott]] asks {{Anabel}} for a word separately and the [[Salon Maiden]] departs with the owner of the Frontier. The four remaining [[Frontier Brain]]s watch her go Anabel off on Scott's car. {{Greta}} then remembers that {{Noland}} has found a way to locate {{p|Jirachi}} earlier than [[Guile Hideout|the enemy]]. She understands that it is probably not the best time to ask as they have gathered to lend their support to Tucker, but she is extremely curious about how it can be done.
He reveals that during the clash with [[Guile Hideout]], some of the Smeargle were able to {{m|Sketch}} one of the moves Jirachi could use. He has the Smeargle use {{m|Wish}}, which releases a bright flash of light. Noland states that although he has never seen the real Jirachi, he can use the flash of light created from Wish to determine where Jirachi would appear with the use of the Battle Frontier's surveillance cameras.


{{Lucy}} expresses her desire to know how Noland did it, and in reply, the [[Factory Head]] takes out three [[Poké Ball]]s from his pocket. He explains that they are the key to his discovery, and Greta gasps in surprise when three {{p|Smeargle}} pop out of them. Noland reveals that they were [[wild Pokémon]] caught at the [[Artisan Cave]].
Back on the battlefield, Metagross is finally knocked out, making Tucker the winner of the battle. Tucker congratulates Emerald for the well-fought battle, but points out that {{m|Protect}} gets weaker with each consecutive use. He offers to battle Emerald again when the Battle Frontier officially opens, but Emerald just leaves without a word. Tucker assumes that Emerald is unable to suppress his anger, and goes off to join his teammates. Suddenly, Tucker notices Guile's shadow from the window, and he sends his {{p|Salamence}} to pursue the villain. The other Frontier Brains are shocked to see Tucker acting so oddly. Noland gets a signal where Jirachi has appeared next: the top of the Battle Dome.


Smeargle [[Signature moves|are the only known Pokémon]] to know the [[move]] {{m|Sketch}}, which allows them to use the exact copy of a move they have witnessed, and turn it into their own. Noland rationalized that, among the few dozens of Smeargle present when they had fought the armoured man at the Artisan's cave, at least some had managed to make a sketch of Jirachi, and so, began testing the group. Finally he was able to choose three, who were successful in copying the same move that Jirachi used.
Back at the Battle Palace, Sapphire questions what her connection to the Blue Orb has to do with anything. Spenser apologizes, and explains that he got worked over meeting one of his kindred. Ruby gestures to Sapphire that she did a good job and the two run off. Ruby reveals that with the Memory Lighter, he recorded Spenser's strange behavior. Meanwhile, Emerald approaches Spenser at the Battle Palace's entrance. Emerald tells Spenser that he intends on challenging the Battle Palace, as his plans have been disrupted. Emerald states that he'll challenge the Battle Palace now and the Battle Tower tomorrow, so he can finish the Battle Dome again on the last day. Spenser agrees, and states that their battle will go unseen by the press, as that's how he prefers it.


Greta franatically asks him to name the move. Smiling, Noland commands a {{m|Wish}} from the painter Pokémon. The three Smeargle immediately clasp their hands together and close their eyes. Immediately, a shower of glittering stars fill the place. Noland states that Wish is a great move, but he has never seen Jirachi use it.
On the Battle Dome's roof, the Frontier Brains are helpless to stop Guile from sucking Jirachi into a [[Poké Ball]]. The Poké Ball falls to the roof, with Jirachi fully captured. Guile picks up the Poké Ball and proudly proclaims that Jirachi is now his.


Noland decides that he will set up camera systems throughout the Frontier and the central system will alert them immediately when any such move is used, and hopefully, they will reach the source of the move before Guile Hideout does.
==Major events==
 
* {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} begin suspecting {{FB|Palace Maven|Spenser}}.
Lucy and Greta nod in excitement, and suddenly heard a crash from the stage. They quickly turn around, and see that Emerald's Metagross has finally succumbed to Charizard The powerful moves. The announcer declares Tucker to be the winner Tucker as all of Emerald's Pokémon have fainted. The [[Dome Ace]] waves at the crowd proudly while Emerald has trouble digesting his first loss.
* {{adv|Emerald}} loses his Battle Dome challenge against {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}}.
 
* Emerald goes to challenge the Battle Palace immediately.
Tucker grins, and admits that it was an excellent battle, but points out that {{m|Protect}}, which Metagross was re-using again and again, is a move whose success rate drops with continuous use. So, it becomes easier to break the user's defense in longer battles. Emerald departs from the place with a sigh.
* [[Guile Hideout]] captures {{p|Jirachi}}.
 
The flamboyantly dressed Frontier Brain decides to go find his other companions and waves in the direction of the other Brains. Suddenly, he spots the familiar silhouette of Guile Hideout on the windows near the top of the gallery, and sends {{p|Salamence}} after him quickly.  
 
On the Brains' private stand, Greta, Lucy, Brandon and Noland jump with shock, when suddenly Tucker swoops past them on the {{type2|Dragon}} Pokemon, and wonder what happened, as it does not seem like his usual performance gimmick. Suddenly, Noland's [[Pokégear]] beeps, and an electronic voice comes on to warn him that the {{m|Wish|move's}} presence has been detected. To everyone's astonishment, the location is right on the roof of the Battle Dome.
 
Back outside the Battle Palace, Sapphire wants to know what her contact with the Blue Orb has to do with Spenser, and whether or not it is related to what happened in the Battle Frontier. However, the [[Palace Maven]] simply closes his eyes in silence for a moment, then grins, carried away.
 
The old man turns around with a gentle laugh, and places his hand on his bald head, as if to appear foolish for feeling so inadequate in spite of so much experience in life. He notes that perhaps everyone who  meets a person similar to him or her, is destined to be carried away, and walks away slowly.


Sapphire steals a glance at Ruby, who winks back at her. It turns out that he has recorded every happening in the Memory Fire Lighter [[Courtney]] gave him. The boy then pretends to agree with what the old Frontier Brain said and gleefully runs up to Sapphire, telling her it's time to get going. Once they are sure that Spenser could not hear them from this distance, he compliments Sapphire for forcing facts out of Spenser well, and Sapphire grins that she knew that the Palace Maven is keeping something from them.

Sometime later, when Spenser is about to return to the Battle Palace, he suddenly feels a different person behind him, and turns around to find Emerald standing at the base of the stairs with a certain appearance. Emerald says that he is for the Palace challenge, and Spenser is surprised, because he expected him the following day. Emerald grunts that he has abandoned his original plan due to some problems and according to his new time-table, he has to conquer the Palace this very day, followed by the Battle Tower and the Battle Dome.

Spenser has an amused grin as he beckons Emerald to follow him inside the Palace. They go through two heavy stone doors and the two become ready for thair battle.
Meanwhile, on the roof of the Battle Dome, glittery stars and a colorful light fill the entire territory. Brandon, Lucy, Tucker, Greta and Noland hurry in the direction of the source of the light, but fiund itself face to face with not only Jirachi, but also the armored villain.
The armored man unleashes a slew of attacks with his sword along with a {{m|Psybeam}} from his {{p|Surskit}} towards Jirachi, and the [[legendary Pokémon|legendary]] wish-granting Pokémon cries in pain. Guile Hideout then raises a Poké Ball and throws it towards Jirachi quickly. After a few struggles, Jirachi finally gives in and is formally "captured" by the armoured man.
Picking his prize, the armored man grins broadly and evilly as he announces his triumphant capture of Jirachi, which now looks out of its Poké Ball with a helpless expression on its face...
