To the west of Mt. Battle lies the small village of Agate. Built into the side of the cliffs near the mountain it is considered a sort of retirement village it is home to many former trainers and their Pokémon. Many of the trainers here were once powerful champions. Battles here are few and only for fun. Neo and Missy stared in awe.
Missy: It's so beautiful.
Neo: And peaceful as well. It's hard to believe a place like this exists in a region like this.
Missy: All the more reason that Celebi's shrine is located here.
Neo: Speaking of which we need to find it.
The two of them made their way towards the village. A small wood bridge lead them over a small stream and to the village entrance. The two of them took another look at the village. Trainers and Pokémon walked around, giving the village a peaceful look.
Neo: All these Pokémon walking around without having the urge to battle. It's amazing.
Missy: Hey Neo. I think that's the welcoming committee.
Neo looked up and saw three Pokémon approaching them. The first was an Absol, a white four-legged Pokémon with a scythe-shaped horn on the side of his head. The other two were Mightyena, black canine Pokémon that looked like wolves.
Absol: Welcome to Agate Village, travelers. My name is Shadow. The Mightyena are Dante and Orion.
Dante: Hello.
Orion: Greetings.
Neo: Thank you. My name is Neo. My companion's name is Missy.
Missy: Pleasure to meet you.
Neo: We've traveled a long distance to get here.
Shadow: I see. And what is the nature of your business.
Neo: We need to see Celebi.
Dante: Celebi? What business do you have with the Time Traveler?
Neo: It's a matter of life and death.
Shadow: I see. If you don't mind I would like to hear of this.
Neo agreed and retold his story to the trio of Dark Pokémon. After hearing his story the three of them were more understanding of his dilemma.
Shadow: I am truly sorry to hear what has happened.
Dante: We had no idea your story was so tragic.
Neo: It's alright. But now you see why we need to speak with Celebi. He may be the only option I have left to save Sasha.
Shadow: I would like to help you, but you see she hasn't been seen here for along time.
Missy: She? I thought that…
Orion: It's a common mistake. But Shadow does speak the truth. Celebi hasn't come to this shrine in years.
Neo: Why is that?
Shadow: Many believe it is because of the violent nature of this region. Many of the trainers in this region are extremely brutal. Because of that Celebi has avoided this region at all costs.
Missy: But everything here is so peaceful. Surely Celebi would be happy to come to a place like this.
Dante: It's not that simple. If word got out that Celebi was sighted here then this village would certainly come under attack by corrupt trainers looking to capture her.
Neo: I see.
Shadow: I'm sorry we couldn't help you.
Neo: No. It's not your fault.
Missy: He's right. You can't force Celebi to appear where she doesn't want to.
Neo: Perhaps we can find another shrine where she has been appearing.
Shadow: I don't know where you'd find one, but I wish you two luck on your journey.
Neo and Missy thanked Shadow, Dante and Orion for their help and left the village. Though they were feeling a bit down about not being able to find Celebi they both knew that they had come too far to give up.
Missy: So, where do we go now?
Neo: I don't know. I wish we had some kind of lead to go on.
Missy: Me too.
The two of them were heading back towards Gateon Port, but a sudden sound made Neo stop.
Missy: What is it?
Neo: Something's coming.
Missy: Can you tell what it is?
Neo: Sounds like… Missy! Hide!
Neo darted off to some bushes and took cover. Missy was about to ask why he did that, but the sight of a large dust cloud heading their way made her change her mind and hide with him. Shortly after the dust cloud got close enough for them to see what was causing it. A group of six motorcycles passed by. Through the dust cloud the vehicles kicked up Neo and Missy were able to make out the riders.
Missy: Those guys… We saw them back in Gateon Port!
Neo: Yeah. It's the same group of trainers.
Missy: Where do you think they're heading?
Neo: Only one place comes to mind…
Missy: Agate Village! We have to warn Shadow and the others!
Neo: No time. They'll beat us there.
Missy: Then what do we do?
Neo: Back them up.
Missy had a feeling Neo would say that. She quickly agreed and the two of them reversed direction and headed back towards Agate Village.
Shadow was standing at the village entrance looking down the path leading out. He was feeling guilty about not being able to help Neo and Missy with their quest. Even though what he said was the truth he still felt bad.
Shadow: I feel so useless. If only I could have helped them in some way…
While he sat there Dante walked up behind him.
Dante: Are you alright?
Shadow: Yeah… no.
Dante: You thinking about those two aren't you?
Shadow: I just feel bad for not being able to help them.
Dante: But there was nothing you could do. Like Neo said you can't make Celebi appear where she doesn't want to.
Shadow: I know but still…
Shadow stopped talking and got up. He looked out down the path, as if waiting for something to come.
Dante: What is it, Shadow?
Shadow: Trouble's coming! Go get Orion and Eagun!
Dante: Right away!
While Dante went to retrieve his brother and Eagun Shadow stayed behind to face the incoming danger.
Neo and Missy had made it back to the village, but just as Neo feared the bikers had beat them there. They immediately hid to avoid being seen. From their concealed location they could see Shadow, Dante and Orion standing at the entrance. Behind them was an old man wearing a purple robe. By his side was a Pikachu.
Missy: They're not going to fight them, are they?
Neo: I don't think they have a choice. But looking at the number of guys there, and assuming they each have at least three Pokémon on them, I'd say that Shadow and them are seriously outnumbered.
Missy: In that case we have to help them.
Neo: And we will, but I don't want to just rush in without some kind of strategy.
Missy: Okay, so let's strategize.
Neo hated being put on the spot like that, but he knew that the longer they took the worse it got for everyone in Agate Village. He studied the terrain until he spotted the motorcycles they bikers used to get there. At that moment a plan began forming in his head.
Neo: I think I've got something.
Missy: Alright. I knew you could come up with something, Neo. So, let's hear it.
Neo: Okay. Here's the plan…
Shadow, Dante and Orion stood at the village entrance with Eagun and his Pikachu behind them. In front was Russell and his gang. Though their intentions were still unknown Shadow knew that nothing good was to come from their visit.
Eagun: What business do you have here?
Russell: I was told that Celebi could possibly appear here.
Eagun: That is true, but Celebi hasn't been seen here for a few years now.
Russell: Oh, that's fine. But tell me, what makes this place so appealing to Celebi?
Shadow growled in response to his question. He didn't trust him and didn't want Eagun giving out any information to him.
Shadow: (whispering) Don't tell them too much. I don't like what I'm feeling from them.
Eagun: (whispering) Don't worry, Shadow. Everything will be fine.
After reassuring Shadow Eagun went back to addressing Russell.
Eagun: If you must know it is because of the shrine that was built in honor of the Time Traveler. It acts as a beacon to guide her during her time traveling.
Russell: You don't say? Well then if we can't see Celebi now we'll just take this shrine with us and wait for her to pop up.
Eagun: What?!
Shadow had heard enough. With a quick nod of his head Dante and Orion were by his side, ready for combat. Russell looked at the Pokémon and laughed.
Russell: Oh, this is too good. You actually think three Pokémon will be able to stop us?
Shadow: There are things you do not know about us.
Russell: What the?! You can talk?! This is even better. Along with the shrine we get some talking Pokémon as a bonus.
Dante: Don't bet on it.
Orion: The only thing you'll be doing is leaving here!
Russell: Oh we'll see about that. Boys! Get them!
The five trainers with Russell each sent out a Pokémon. The first was a Machamp, a four-armed Superpower Pokémon. Next was a Hitmonchan, a Pokémon that looked like a boxer. Then came a Hitmonlee, a Pokémon with stretchy legs designed for delivering powerful kicks. The fourth was a Hariyama, a Pokémon resembling a sumo wrestler. The final Pokémon was a Hitmontop, a Pokémon with a small point on its head that gave it the ability to spin like a top.
Dante: Oh no! Shadow!
Shadow: I know! They're all Fighting types!
Orion: We're at a disadvantage!
Shadow: But we're not backing down!
Eagun, seeing that Shadow and the others were outnumbered, was about to join in. However, Shadow stopped him.
Shadow: Get to the cave! Make sure to protect the shrine!
Eagun: What about you?! You won't be able to take them all!
Shadow: I know, but if we can at least weaken them then can stop them from getting to the shrine!
Eagun wanted to stay and help, but he knew that protecting the shrine took top priority.
Eagun: Just be careful.
Shadow: We will.
Eagun then left to guard the cave leading to Celebi's shrine, leaving Shadow, Dante and Orion to face Russell's gang.
Shadow: Well, here goes nothing!
The three Dark types charged the Fighting types. Shadow took on the team of Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee, Dante went after Hariyama and Orion was left with Machamp and Hitmontop. For a while it looked like Shadow's team had the upper hand. He was easily dodging the various Comet Punch and Rolling Kick attacks from his opponents. Dante was actually on the offensive, using his speed to easily avoid the slower Hariyama's and attacking when he had an opening. Orion was also easily dodging his attackers moves, most of the time causing them to attack each other. This didn't set too well with Russell.
Russell: What are you idiots doing?! They're making you look like a bunch of asses out there!
Trainer: They're a lot stronger than we thought, boss!
Russell: You guys are useless! If you want something done you've got to do it your self!
Russell stepped up and sent out his Pokémon. His was a Primeape, a hairy ape with a bad attitude.
Russell: Show those fools how to battle!
Primeape let out a primal scream and charged towards Shadow, catching him off guard.
Russell: Focus Punch!
Before Shadow could react the Primeape was in his face, his fist flowing white. Then, in a motion too swift for Shadow to see, the Primeape's fist made solid contact with his face. He was knocked back across the bridge.
Dante: Shadow! Are you alright?!
Orion: Watch out, brother!
Dante turned in time to see Russell's Primeape charging for him.
Russell: Mega Punch!
Dante tried to move out of the way, but Primeape's Mega Punch caught him in his ribs. Dante slumped to the ground, the wind knocked right out of him.
Russell: Now use Brick Break, followed with Mega Kick!
Primeape brought one of his glove-like fists down on Dante's head. The attack dazed the Mightyena long enough for Primeape to send him flying with a powerful Mega Kick. Dante landed right next to Shadow.
Orion: Brother! That's it! I'm going to beat your ass!
Orion charged for the Primeape, taking his attention away from the other Pokémon. That would prove to be his mistake. Before he could get to the Primeape he was blind-sided but a Cross Chop from Machamp. But his beating wasn't done yet.
Shadow: O-Orion!
Dante: N-No! M-My brother!
Still trying to recover from Machamp's attack Orion could do nothing to defend himself from the rest of the attacks he received. Hitmonlee and Hitmontop struck him in the face with a Double Rolling Kick, sending him flying right into Hariyama's Arm Thrust. Barely able to stand Hitmonchan charged in and finished him with a Dynamic Punch. He too was knocked to where Shadow and Dante were laying. With all three Dark types down Russell believe there was nothing standing between him and Celebi's shrine.
Russell: Good work. Now, let's go claim our prize.
The group of trainers and Pokémon started to walk across the bridge into the village. Shadow, Dante and Orion were determined to stop them, even if they were too weak to put up much resistance. The three got back up and stood in the middle of the bridge.
Russell: Still haven't had enough, had you? Well then, you leave me no choice!
Russell was about to order his Pokémon to deliver the final attack when a sudden explosion caught his attention. Turning around he saw his motorcycle had been turned into a pile of burning metal.
Russell: No! My bike!
Then, one-by-one, the rest of the vehicles exploded until there was only one left. Then, two silhouettes appeared among the burning wreckage. One was floating while the other was walking. Russell and his gang didn't know who, or what, it was, but Shadow and the others recognized the immediately.
Neo: Word of advice. When your in battle, make sure to keep an eye out for potential sneak attacks.
With those words Neo exploded the last motorcycle with a well-placed Thunderbolt. Russell glared at the two newcomers.
Russell: Why you! You'll pay for that!
Neo: Well then, come.
Russell: Get them!
The Machamp and Hariyama were the first the charge, but Neo put an end to their attack with a Thunderbolt. This only infuriated Russell even more.
Russell: Hitmonchan! Hitmonlee! Hitmontop! Attack!
Three of the remaining Pokémon charged towards Neo and Missy, but the two weren't concerned one bit.
Neo: I think I'll leave these three to you.
Missy: Why thank you, Neo.
The three Fighting types quickly surrounded Missy, making Shadow and the Mightyena brothers very worried. However, she looked as calm as ever. Even Neo didn't seem concerned for her safety.
Dante: Do they know something we don't?
Shadow: I believe so. If I am correct…
Just as he spoke the Fighting Pokémon charged towards Missy. Just as they were about to strike she smirked.
Missy: See you later, boys.
At the last second she disappeared, causing the three Pokémon to crash into each other. While they sat there stunned, Missy reappeared next to Neo.
Neo: That was easy.
Missy: Oh, I'm not done yet. It's time to take out the trash.
Missy focused on the three Fighting Pokémon. Her eyes then began to glow blue, indicating that Psychic was about to be in use. Sure enough after a few seconds all three Fighting types were floating in the air.
Missy: And go!
With little effort Missy threw them to the ground next to the still down Machamp and Hariyama. Seeing five of his gang's Pokémon brought down with little to no effort enraged Russell even more.
Russell: Damnit! I'll show you to mess with me! Get them, Primeape!
The ape Pokémon, just as angry as his trainer, charged for Missy and Neo with the intention of ripping them apart.
Neo: You want to team up against this one?
Missy: Sure thing.
The duo stood there as Primeape charged. Once he was close enough he jumped into the air… only to be frozen in place. Missy had used Psychic to stop Primeape in his tracks, which unfortunately was in mid-air.
Missy: He's all yours.
Neo: Thanks.
Neo stared at the suspended Primeape. Then, his body began giving off a familiar look. Sparks were once again dancing all over his body.
Neo: Time to see what this Light Ball can do!
Neo charged towards Primeape, the sparks continually coming from his body. Pretty soon the sparks had covered him completely. At that moment the Light Ball around his neck started to glow. Then, a golden aura surrounded his body.
Neo: Volt Tackle!
Neo jumped up and rammed into the Primeape, discharging all the built-up electricity in his body. The impact hurled Primeape into his downed comrades. Neo back-flipped and landed next to Missy. His body had returned to normal as had the Light Ball. Russell stared in awe at what just happened. Shadow, Dante and Orion were also stunned.
Dante: T-that… was that…
Orion: Was that… Volt Tackle?!
Shadow: That's what he called out when he attacked. It must have been.
Orion: But that's a high-level technique. It's not easy to learn, let alone master. Something that advanced takes years to perfect.
Dante: Then what about him? He not only used it, but that was the most perfect use of that move I've ever seen.
Shadow: He's no ordinary Pikachu, I'll tell you that. His desire to save his mate must be great for him to be able to master that move. Unfortunately, even mastering it can't protect you from it's dangerous side-effect.
Shadow was right. Although Neo had mastered Volt Tackle he still suffered from the recoil effects of the move. His body was badly bruised and he was panting heavily.
Missy: What's wrong, Neo?
Neo: I… don't… understand… That time… it took… more out of me… than it… ever did.
Missy: Do you think the Light Ball had anything to do with it?
Neo looked down at the small yellow orb around his neck. He didn't understand how it could have had any effect on the attack. Then, he remembered something he had heard about Pikachu and a special item designed to boost their power.
Neo: Of course. It… was… the Light Ball.
Missy: Really?
Neo: Light Balls are special items designed to boost the electric power of Pikachu… They double the strength of any electric move we use… and because of that we use more power than usual.
Missy: But how does that explain the condition your body's in after that Volt Tackle?
Neo: Volt Tackle is a move similar to Double Edge. It's a full-body tackle that causes damage to the user. But it's even more dangerous because we also add in a huge amount of electricity.
Missy: Okay.
Neo: When we make contact we release all that built-up electricity in one powerful blast. The combination of that and the tackle itself makes Volt Tackle cause a huge amount of damage to whoever uses it.
Missy: I see. So what you're saying is that the Light Ball increased the amount of electricity in the attack.
Neo: Exactly. And because of that I'm in a lot worse shape than I normally would be.
Missy: Well, are you going to be alright?
Neo: Sure. I just need a bit of time to recharge.
Russell: unfortunately, you're not going to get that!
Unknown to the two of them Russell had heard everything they had just talked about. He and the rest of his gang had recalled their fallen Pokémon and replaced them with new ones consisting of three Machamp and three Hariyama.
Neo: You have got to be kidding me.
Missy: Are you going to be alright to battle?
Neo: I have to. They're going to be coming after both of us after all.
Missy: If you say so.
The two of them stood their ground as all six of the large Fighting Pokémon stood ready to tear them to pieces.
Russell: Now go!
On his command all the Pokémon charged into battle. Missy sprang up, ready to fight. Neo, however, was still recovering from the Volt Tackle he performed earlier.
Missy: Oh man! I have to stop them before they get to Neo!
Missy charged in, but Russell had a plan for her.
Russell: Foresight!
Missy: Foresight?! Oh crap!
She immediately stopped her advance and tried to get away, but she wasn't fast enough. All three Machamp had a read beam of light coming from their eyes. The beams swept from right to left, covering everything in their red glow. As the beams passed over Missy, it seemed like nothing had changed. But she knew better.
Missy: No!
Russell: Now, Dynamic Punch!
The Machamp charged towards Missy, their fists glowing a bright white. She knew this meant trouble.
Missy: I can't fade out to avoid those attacks. The only choice I have is to dodge the old-fashioned way.
She began ducking left and right, trying to dodge the incoming attacks. At first it was working, but she was quickly becoming tired-out. Her movements became more and more sluggish with each move she dodged.
Russell: Now! Get her while she's tired!
The three Machamp charged again with Dynamic Punch. Missy dodged to the right to avoid the first, then back for the second. But the last one caught her by surprise. Too tired to remain in the air she fell to the ground.
Neo: Missy! Hang on! I'm coming!
Neo got up and tried to rush to Missy's aid. But he hadn't recovered completely yet. Russell noticed this and decided to take advantage of his weakened state.
Russell: Use Brick Break, Hariyama!
The three Hariyama closed in and surrounded Neo. They each raised one of their frying pan-like hands up.
Neo: This is going to hurt like…
Neo couldn't finish, as he was currently being crushed beneath three Brick Break attacks. The impact of the three attacks made his ribs feel like they were being crushed into dust.
Russell: Now finish them off!
The Machamp began to pummel Missy with repeated Dynamic Punch attacks while the Hariyama continued their Brick Break barrage. Their cries of pain filled the air. Shadow, Dante and Orion looked on in fear.
Orion: They're getting pounded out there! We have to help them!
Dante: I know, but how? Not only are we outnumbered but we're at a huge disadvantage.
Orion: So we're just going to stand back and watch?!
Shadow: Of course not, but we can't just rush in. The only thing we'd accomplish by doing that is adding to the number of victims. We have to wait for our opportunity.
Orion: How long will that take?!
Shadow: We'll know when the time is right.
The trio of Dark types could only watch as Neo and Missy suffered at the hands of the six Fighting types.
Russell: Okay, that's enough.
The six Pokémon stopped their attacks and backed off. Though the attacks only lasted a few minutes it seemed much longer for Neo and Missy. Missy was almost motionless, but Neo was still stirring, although slightly.
Neo: M… Mi…ssy…
He looked around for her and saw her laying a few feet from him. Then, using what little strength he had left he crawled over to her.
Neo: Missy… Are… are you… alright?
Missy: Is that… you… Neo?
Neo: Yeah…
Russell: Now, finish them with Earthquake!
The six Fighting types lined up next to each other.
Neo: Missy… you have… you have to run… now!
Missy: I… can't…
Neo: Please… I won't be… able to take those attacks… but you… can still escape… Go! While… you… still have a chance!
Missy: I'm… too weak… I couldn't… escape if I wanted to… and I… I don't!
Neo: Missy…
Missy: I've… stuck with you this long… I… might as well… go all the way…
Neo smiled through the pain, glad that Missy wanted to stay by his side to the end. The two Pokémon then braced for what they believed would be the final blow.
Russell: Now! Give it to them!
The six Pokémon were prepared to deliver the potentially fatal Earthquake when…
Shadow: Now!
On Shadow's command he, Dante and Orion sprang into action. The three Dark types started off by launching three Shadow Ball attacks, surprising the Fighting types. Then, with them confused, Dante and Orion ran in, retrieved Neo and Missy and brought them to a safe location.
Orion: You two should be safe here.
Neo: Thank… you.
Dante: We should be thanking you. You didn't have to come back and help us the way you did.
Missy: That's… how we are.
Orion: Well, we're grateful. Now, leave the rest to us.
Dante and Orion rejoined Shadow as the three of them stared down the Fighting Pokémon.
Russell: So, you want another taste of our strength?
Shadow: Actually, we're here to take you down.
Russell: Funny, but I'm not laughing! Get them!
The Fighting Pokémon eagerly obeyed Russell's orders and charged for Shadow and the others. However, they had a few tricks up their sleeves this time.
Shadow: You're going down!
With blinding speed Shadow charged towards the three Hariyama. Just as he was about to reach them he disappeared. He then appeared right behind them.
Russell: What was that?! You didn't even hit them!
Shadow: I didn't? Try looking again.
Russell looked at the three once again. One by one they fell over in defeat. He had no idea what just happened.
Russell: What did you do?!
Shadow: A little something I like to call Aerial Ace. By the way, I think you should keep an eye on your Machamp.
Russell looked to where the Machamp were battling Dante and Orion. It seemed like the three Superpower Pokémon had the brothers backed into a corner, but that wasn't the case. As the Machamp closed in both Mightyena let our roars that would make Groudon shake in fear. The Machamp then turned into beams of red light and retreated back to their Poké balls.
Dante: Roar gets them every time.
Orion: It sure does.
With no Pokémon to battle with currently on the field Russell and his gang were at a severe disadvantage. Shadow, Dante and Orion approached them.
Shadow: Face it. You've been defeated. Now leave this place at once!
Instead of walking away Russell simply started laughing. Shadow and the others had no idea what was so funny.
Shadow: And just what are you laughing at?
Russell: You didn't think we were done, did you?
At that moment he and the rest of his gang took out more Poké balls. Shadow and the others stared in disbelief.
Russell: Now you'll see the true power of our Fighting Pokémon!
They took their Poké balls and pressed the button to enlarge them… but nothing happened.
Russell: What the?! What's going on?!
They pressed the buttons again, but still got the same results. By now Russell was growing extremely frustrated. No matter how many times he pressed the button the Poké ball refused to enlarge.
Russell: What is the deal with this damn ball?!
Shadow, Dante and Orion looked on, also trying to figure out why the Poké balls refused to work. It was then that they noticed the balls had a slight red glow.
Dante: What is that?
Shadow: I'm not sure, but it looks like…
He turned and looked at Neo and Missy. While they were both still down, Missy was giving off the same red glow the Poké balls had.
Shadow: It's her. She's keeping the balls from enlarging.
Orion: Hey! What are you doing?
Missy: …Imprison… to… keep the… balls closed…
Russell and the rest of his gang had grown tired of trying to call out their next Pokémon. They threw the balls to the ground.
Russell: Forget this! Let's just charge them and break through!
He lead his gang on an all-out charge towards the Pokémon defending the village entrance, determined to get in at all costs.
Shadow: Don't let them through!
The three Dark types prepared to repel the invaders when a bolt of electricity flew over their heads and struck Russell and his gang. At first it appeared to be a Thunderbolt, but after a while Shadow realized that they were paralyzed, not hurt.
Shadow: That was a Thunder Wave. But who…
Neo: It… was me…
Shadow turned around, as did Dante and Orion. Despite the fact that they were severely weakened Neo and Missy still aided them in the defense of their village.
Shadow: But how? You were severely weakened.
Neo: Even so… we couldn't just… let you face them… on your own…
Missy: That's right… we… had to help… somehow…
Shadow was amazed. Not only did these two come back and help them but they continued to fight even through injuries.
Shadow: They showed real courage and strength back there. It's a shame that we can't return the favor somehow…
????: But there is.
Shadow's head jerked up at the sound of the voice. It sounded familiar but he wasn't sure who it belonged to.
Shadow: Who is this? Where are you?
????: You should already know who I am.
Shadow: …Celebi? Is that really you?
Celebi: Yes, it is I.
Shadow: Where are you?
Celebi: On my way there, to Agate Village.
Shadow: Here?! But you haven't shown yourself here in years. Why now?
Celebi: Because I know of that Pikachu's dilemma and I wish to help him.
Shadow: You do? That's outstanding! He'll be extremely grateful when he hears this. When will you be arriving?
Celebi: I still have other matters to attend to, so it'll take me two weeks before I arrive. Make sure he and his friend are taken care of until then.
Shadow: I will.
Celebi ended the conversation, having given Shadow instructions on what to do for the next two weeks. Shadow smiled as he thought about the situation that was unfolding.
Orion: Shadow? Is everything okay?
Shadow: Things couldn't be better. Now, let's get things cleared up. Dante, go find Eagun and have him contact the Pyrite Police Force so they can come pick these guys up. Orion, you get Neo and Missy to the Pokémon Center.
Dante & Orion: Right!
The two Mightyena left to carry out their tasks. Shadow remained at the village entrance. He looked to the sky and smiled.
Shadow: Thank you, Celebi. Your arrival will mean so much to everyone, especially those two.
Neo and Missy's selfless act of helping defend Agate Village against Russell and his gang may have left them a bit worse for wear, but it also gave Celebi a reason to make a rare apperance. With two weeks until her arrival how will Neo and Missy pass the time? Find out in the next chapter of Battle for Life and Love!
