Celebi The voice of the Forest

Prologue

ThE VoIcE Of ThE FoReSt

whoosh! A small green, wide-eyed PokEmon darted through the air of a beautiful ancient forest deep in the Johto region. The PokEmon called Celebi was an excellent and fast flyer. But it still couldn't shake Houndoom, the vicious doglike PokEmon chasing it.

As It flew for its life, it whizzed by the head of Yugi Motou walking through the forest. The boy barely had time to react before Houndoom raced by and nearly trampled him.

Yugi quickly followed the chase. A serious PokEmon trainer, he might have been a friend of Yami Ketchum's except he was from a different time. He wore old styled clothing and an outdated hairstyle. But that didn't stop him from running after the curious little green PokEmon in trouble. Yugi approached an enormous tree trunk lying on its side with a with a passage cut through the trunk. This was the entrance to the very heart of the forest.

"If your going in," called a pleasant voice, "Be careful!"

Yugi stopped. He turned and saw a woman by the name of Isis in a long dress and old fashioned hat. She stepped gracefully down the huge trunk to greet him.

"Don't forget," Isis continued, "If you hear the voice of the forest, don't move a muscle."

"What's the voice of the forest?" Yugi asked.

"They say there's a sound you can hear when the spirit that protects the forest is time traveling." Isis spoke slowly and earnestly.

"Time traveling." Yugi asked in disbelief.

"That's one of its special powers," Isis answered. "It can go back and forth between the past and the future."

"Wow," Yugi uttered.

"So if you hear a weird sound," Isis warned, "Stop and stay completely still. . . . If the spirit catches you it could carry you off to a different time."

"I'll be careful," Yugi declared and hurried toward the passage into the deep forest.

"Wait," Isis ran after Yugi. She handed him a loaf of bread. "It's full of berries from the forest and it might come in handy if you get hungry."

"Thanks," Yugi said as he took the bread. "I appreciate it."

While Yugi was talking to Isis, Celebi's attackers had increased in number. A very nasty Scyther - a Grass PokEmon - had joined the Houndoom in the hunt. The sweet-natured green PokEmon was losing ground. It looked like Celebi could not get away.

Suddenly, a PokEmon Hunter by the name of Pegasus approached on a motorcycle. He laughed a wicked laugh. "You've been gicin' me the slip for a long time," Pegasus hissed at Celebi. "But you won't today!" Pegasus pulled out a PokE Ball and threw it at Celebi. Though it was exhausted, Celebi reacted quickly. It surrounded itself with a protective orb that ricocheted the PokE Ball. Celebi then zipped away through the trees.

The chase continued. Once again, Yugi found himself directly in their path. This time he wouldn't lose them! He took off at a full run. Yugi had to protect the little PokEmon.

Yugi caught up with Pegasus and his PokEmon just in time. They had managed to corner Celebi, who lay panting on the ground.

"Let it go!" Yugi shouted. "Two against one isn't a fair fight!"

Celebi took advantage of the moment and blasted the Scyther and Houndoom with a tangle of vine. Yugi quickly swooped in and grabbed the Celebi.

"Hand over the Celebi," Pegasus boomed.

"Why should I?" Yugi retorted.

"I'm a PokEmon Hunter, kid! I make good money off of rare PokEmon. I catch 'em and auction them off to the highest bidder."

"Not this PokEmon!" Yugi snapped.

"Give it to me," Pegasus insisted. But Yugi took off through the forest. He held tight to the rare and terrified PokEmon.

He ran as fast as he could, but Pegasus's motorcyle was faster, Suddenly a strange sound surrounded him and a shock of white light filled the air.

Isis was at the entrance to the forest. She looked up toward the sky.

Deep in forest, Yugi stumbled. He and the Celebi disappeared before he hit the ground.

Forty Years Later . . .

An old man stood outside a run-down cabin in that same forest. It was Pegasus. He was an old PokEmon Hunter tending the many caged PokEmon surrounding his cabin.

Suddenly, a large hulking man wearing a mask over half his face by the name of Yami Marik appeared before Pegasus. "I'm here because I heard a story that you almost caught a Celebi somewhere in this forest about forty years ago," he growled.

"I'm still a PokEmon Hunter," Pegasus replied. "I'm not telling you."

"We'll see about that," Yami Marik answered. He pulled out a black PokE Ball.

"What's that?" Pegasus asked nervously.

"A Dark Ball," Yami Marik answered. "The PokEmon I catch with the Dark Ball become evil PokEmon, and their power instantly increases to the highest level!"

Yami Marik laughed and threw the Dark Ball into the air. "Come on out, Tyranitar!" he shouted.

The PokE Ball released an enormous Tyranitar that began destroying things almost before it was visible. It turned in each direstion and shot enormous fire blasts. Within seconds, Pegasus's entire camp was burning.

"No, please!" Pegasus begged. "It's gonna destroy everything! I'll show you! I'll show you the spot where I found that Celebi!"

Yami Marik threw back his head and laughed. The sound he made was pure evil.
