Jirachi awakened from its 1000-year sleep during the opening of the Hoenn Battle Frontier, and was sought after by both Emerald and the evil Guile Hideout. Unfortunately, Guile Hideout captured Jirachi at the end, and used it to create a monster Kyogre to flood the Frontier. After Emerald came to terms with his true feelings, he fulfilled Prof Oak’s task upon him and wished upon Jirachi to successfully revive the petrified Dex Holders. Later, after Jirachi fulfilled Scott’s wish to bring more visitors to the Frontier, it returned to its slumber.
