[Gekijo ban Poketto Monsuta Adobansu Genereshon: Shichiya no Negai Boshi Jirachi]

Once every thousand years, the Millennium Comet is visible for only seven nights. It is fabled to grant wishes to those who see it. To celebrate, a Millennium Festival is being thrown. This attracts the attention of Satoshi, Masato, Takeshi and Haruka who arrive to the festival. There they attend a performance by the magician Butler. Meeting him, they discover a cocoon that he has in his possession. Inside is Jirachi, who wakes up every thousand years with the comet's appearance. Calling out to Masato, the mystical Pokémon wakes up and befriends the boy. Realizing they only have a few days together, the pair attempt to make the most of it. This includes discovering Jirachi's incredible wishing powers. However, Butler is not what he seems and actually has his own plans for Jirachi's power...
