PROLOGUE :
"Don't let it get away this time!"
"Fools! There it is!"
"Drat! Get over here!"
Three Rockets Executives; Yamon, Rin, and Ullio, had a very important mission ordered by their boss: Capture the Legendary Celebi. It's a shame though, that they never lived to tell anyone what they had seen.
"Here it is…Celebi, the rarest Pokemon in Johto." Ullio said evilly. They had cornered the Pokemon, "Now, Grab it!" but the Pokemon wouldn't have it.
"CELE…BI!!!" it shouted in rage.
"Hey...why's that little green moron screamin'?!" Rin yelled over the loud pokemon,
Suddenly, the Ilex Forest became a shade of red,
"What's goin' on Ullio…?" Yamon said nervously,
"It's…-" Ullio was cut off by Celebi's explosion. The three Rockets were murdered quickly, but they showed no signs of cuts or bruises. What Ullio never was able to say, was that Celebi used it's deadliest attack: Forest Flare. Borrowing the energy of the Trees around it, it can unleash a murderous wave that destroys all evil in it's path. Since the trees were innocent and could never do a bad deed, they were left standing, as if nothing had ever happened.
"Sir…Master Giovanni…" a grunt whimpered, "Ullio…Yamon and Rin were…""Unsuccessful I know." Giovanni muttered,
"How…uh, how did you know?"
"I only used those fools as bait so Celebi would show off it's weaknesses. I monitored the whole thing with my Spy Cannons. According to him," he waved his hand towards his prisinor, Professor Elm, "It was Forest Flare, which supposedly destroys all evil in it's path."
"You'll never capture Celebi! Celebi will only drop it's guard to people with innocent hearts! Your evil is your greatest weakness!" Professor Elm yelled,
"No, you're wrong: Innocence is ones worst enemy." he grinned, "You there! Grunt! Why don't we take him down to his daily Arbok appointment?"
"You'll never win! There's trainers all around the world who can and will defeat you!"
"Take him! NOW!" as the Professor was being dragged away, Giovanni flashed an evil grin, "You just gave me an idea..."
