A Metagross silently joined the scene and landed the smaller Pokémon four hands. 
Jirachi waved to Brock, but remained seated on the shrine and listened to the music. Then he noticed the three Johto beasts in human form and floated to them, recognizing them almost instinctively.  [i]"Why do you look human?"[/i] he asked them.

Tanter stroke his moustache as Chifferi approached them. "Niccia is forced in a human shape and she's bringing a human with her. We thought it would be a nice gesture to be that way too."
[i]"Oh...Would she mind... if I wouldn't... I'm not sure I want to spend the few awake days I have as a human..."[/i]

James had overheard the conversation. [i]"Miss Penalopy said she would remain in her Pokémon form regardless of how many of the others would come in their human form. She likes being, and I quote 'small and floaty'. And I'm sure miss Niccia would never ask of anyone to take a shape they aren't comfortable with."[/i]

[i]"Yeah, I, I don't know yet. Maybe I'll change too. But, not yet."[/i] Chifferi said.

[i]"Art,"[/i] Merlin repeated with a nod of his head. [i]"I'm called Merlin. The man with the Butterfree on his shoulder is my trainer."[/i]
From the sky he could see the shrine and some adult-looking humans who were probably legendary Pokéon in disguise.

Andy looked in Celebi's direction when Frosiien mentioned him. It was almost odd to see a legendary Pokémon in their original form, as most had introduced themselves in their human form. He noticed the Delibird walk towards him. He waited to see what Mitch wanted from him.

Michael walked with Niccia after being tugged and joined Mindy and Gavin when the Celebi decided Mindy's head was a good place to sit. An amused smile appeared when he saw how awkward Mindy felt because of that, and he translated the words for her. 

Mindy stood still, not sure how to respond to a legendary Pokémon sitting on her head. Somehow she gotten used to the idea of meeting a whole bunch of legendary Pokémon, but to have one sitting on her, that had not been in any of her ideas about how this day might progress.
