The Millennium Comet
is a planetary body that received its name as a result of its orbit, which
takes one thousand years to complete.
Far more than an awe-inspiring
planetary body, the Millennium Comet also plays an essential part in one
of the world's major natural cycles.
During its passage across the galaxy, the
Millennium Comet gathers a vast amount of energy from sheer momentum. Once
the comet returns to the vicinity of the earth, it stays present over the
western hemisphere for seven days. During this time it discharges its
excess energy. This energy is then collected, filtered and used to
regenerate the planet's
aura network.
This routine is highly important, for the
maintenance of the aura network not only nourishes the planet, but also
stops the boundary between Realspace and
Ultraspace from deteriorating.
The energy filtering is undertaken by a specially-designated Pokémon,
previously
Arceus. Later, the position was re-assigned to
Jirachi.
The Millennium Comet continues
to astound and inspire the generations that get to see it. Some have
thought this heavenly body was able to grant wishes, a trait that was
similarly passed on to Jirachi.
