>>46038536I know, but for whatever reason Jirachi is apparently very important to Archie. Obviously Archie is also motivated to protect the sea too, but Jirachi also ties into it...somehow.
To explain it a bit more: in the English equivalent to this scene, Archie says "Where...that...Pokemon..." In the original Japanese, he uses the SINGULAR pronoun "aitsu" meaning he is specifically speaking about one Pokemon - who is very likely supposed to be Jirachi
