Pokemon Movie 4
Celebi: Voice of the forest
Forty years ago, a boy named Sam was walking through a wood. Sam was a pokemon trainer and he liked to draw pokemon in a sketch pad. He had just reached an entrance to a big forest, when suddenly a voice spoke to him. "If you're going into the forest, do be careful". The voice belonged to a young woman named Towa. Towa explained to Sam about the legend of the forest. The legend was that a legendary spirit lived in there and that it had the power to time travel into the past and future. "It is said to let out a very loud scream when it does that," said Towa "so if you ever hear it, keep very still and nothing will happen to you". She also gave Sam a loaf of bread that had berries added to it, in case he got hungry. Sam thanked Towa and walked into the forest.
But trouble was happening in the forest. A pokemon poacher was in the forest and he was chasing the legendary spirit, which was actually a legendary pokemon called Celebi. Celebi was a small, green, grass/psychic pokemon that could fly, and a Houndoom and Scyther were chasing it like crazy. Celebi was trying to escape from them, but they were fast. What was even more terrible was that the poacher, who was riding a motor bike, was using some sort of electric equipment to weaken Celebi. Celebi began to scream.
Sam heard the scream, while he was sketching some Bellosom. The wild pokemon in the forest were running in a panic. 'Something doesn't feel right here' Sam thought. Suddenly he saw Houndoom and Scyther chasing Celebi and he followed them to see what was going on. Houndoom and Scyther caught up with Celebi and pinned it to the ground. "Hey two against one is not fair!" shouted Sam. Houndoom blew fire at Sam to get him to leave. While Houndoom and Scyther were distracted, Celebi used leech seed to trap Houndoom and Scyther to escape. Sam ran over to Celebi to help it. At that moment the pokemon poacher turned up. "Hand over that Celebi kid" he said. "Celebi?" said Sam "what do you want with it?" "I'm a pokemon hunter kid," said the poacher "I catch pokemon and sell them to people". "You're not selling Celebi to anybody!" shouted Sam. Sam started to run with Celebi still in his arms. The poacher gave chase on his motor bike.
Sam ran as fast as he could to get away from the poacher and to keep Celebi safe. Just then Celebi started to scream and a green light surrounded the area. This meant that Celebi was going to use its ability to travel through time. Suddenly there was a flash of green, blue and yellow, and then Sam and Celebi magically vanished. Celebi had just time travelled, taking Sam with it.
Forty years later after that incident, the pokemon poacher, now an old man, was being attacked by someone in his caravan. It was a big muscular man, wearing a big iron mask. The man's name was Iron-masked Marauder; he was called that because of his iron mask. He had heard about the poacher going after Celebi in the past, and he wanted to know where the Celebi was because he wanted to catch Celebi for himself. The poacher refused because he was still a pokemon poacher, even if he was an old man now. Iron-masked Marauder decided to use force to get the poacher to talk. He went outside the poacher's caravan, where there were a lot of cages with pokemon in them. The poacher kept pokemon in the cages before selling them. Iron-masked Marauder took out a strange looking black and grey pokeball from his vest. "What is that?" asked the poacher. Iron-masked Marauder explained that it was a dark ball and it had the power to make any pokemon, he captured, turn evil and have their power raise to the highest level. He had his pokemon, a Sneasel, release a Tyranitar from its cage, and then he caught the Tyranitar with his dark ball. Tyranitar became a different pokemon once it was sent out from the pokeball; it was now more ferocious than ever and its skin colour was a little darker than normal. Iron-masked Marauder told his new Tyranitar to attack the ranch using hyper beam. True to his words; Tyranitar's power was indeed very strong. It destroyed the whole ranch and all of the pokemon that the poacher caught escaped. The poacher gave in and got ready to tell Iron-masked Marauder everything. Iron-masked Marauder laughed with triumphant.
In another town, Tomo, Misty and Brock were at a dock and they were waiting for Ash to turn up. The boat they were going to take across the river was getting ready to leave. "Oh where is Ash?" asked Misty "if he doesn't hurry up, he will miss the boat". "Big brother went to pick something up from the pokemon center" said Tomo. "I know that Tomo," said Misty "but I thought he'd be here by now". Brock released his Crobat from its pokeball and he told Crobat to look for Ash and get him to come to the docks quickly.
Ash had already collected something from the pokemon center, but right now he was in a pokemon battle. A kid, named Dundee, with a Croconaw wanted to battle his Pikachu and Ash accepted the challenge. Dundee told his Croconaw to use water gun on Pikachu. Ash told Pikachu to use quick attack to evade. Since water gun was not working, Dundee told Croconaw to attack Pikachu with slash attack, but Pikachu evaded that too. Pikachu and Croconaw began to go at each other, with pikachu using quick attack and Croconaw using bite. Then at last Pikachu slammed Croconaw hard and used thunderbolt on it. Croconaw fainted, giving Ash the win.
Just as Ash and Dundee were thanking each other for the match, Brock's Crobat showed up. Ash realised that he was late for the boat at the docks. He said goodbye to Dundee and he and Pikachu ran as fast as they could to the docks.
Tomo, Misty and Brock were already on the boat, when they suddenly saw Ash coming. Ash and Pikachu when one more effort of running and he made it to the boat at last, just as it was about to leave. Ash and Pikachu were exhausted when they finally got on the boat. "Where have you two been?" asked Misty. Ash explained about his battle with Dundee. "At least you managed to get here before we started to leave without you" said Brock, returning his Crobat. "So Ash, what did you collect from the pokemon center?" asked Misty. Ash took out what he had collected from his back pack. It was the GS ball what the gang had left with Kurt in Azalea Town some time ago. "No way," gasped Misty "why did Kurt send the GS ball back to us?" "Yeah, I mean he should be figuring it out" said Brock. "Well do you guys remember when we visited Ilex Forest, after we visited Azalea Town?" asked Ash. Tomo, Misty and Brock nodded yes. "Well do you remember that shrine that was in Ilex Forest as well?" Ash asked. Again, Tomo, Misty and Brock nodded yes. "Well Kurt told me on the phone, that sometime after we gave him the GS ball he took the ball with him into Ilex Forest", said Ash "when he was there he visited the shrine. When he did, the GS ball began to glow a little bit in front of the shrine". "Really?" asked Brock. "Yes," said Ash "and Kurt thought that the GS ball maybe related to the protector of the forest". "But why did send it to us here?" asked Misty "I mean we are far away from the Ilex Forest now". "Well Misty," said Ash "Kurt told me that there is another forest, with a shrine dedicated to the protector of the forest, a bit far from where we are now. So he said that we might be able to solve the mystery of the GS ball, if we take the GS ball to the shrine there. So I suggest we do go there to see if Kurt's theory is right". "I agree," said Brock "I mean I'm really eager to the about this GS ball too, especially since we have waited a while for an answer". Misty and Tomo agreed; they wanted to solve the mystery of the GS ball too. "Question is though," said Misty "where is this forest that we need to go to? And how do we get there?" "I know the answers to those questions" said a voice beside the group.
The voice belonged to a man; his name was Mr White and he was the owner of the boat. "My hometown, Arborville, has a big forest next to it, and there is a shrine in there too," said Mr White "so my guess is that is where you need to go". The gang thought of the idea and agreed. "Do you think you can take us there Mr White?" asked Ash "the truth is; we have a mystery on our hands and we are eager to get to the bottom of it". "I'll be glad to," Mr White answered "we'll get off at the next stop, and I will take you to Arborville myself".
Suddenly Pikachu and Growlithe saw something in a forest on the land. The gang saw it too; it was a blue and white pokemon, with a purple mane, that looked like a big cat. The pokemon saw the humans staring at it, and then it ran off. "That was Suicune!" gasped Ash "another one of the legendary beasts of Johto". "Like Entei?" asked Misty. She remembered when she and the gang met an Entei sometime ago. "Yes" said Ash. Ash took out his legendary pokemon book out and showed the others picture of Suicune. "Suicune looks magnificent for a water pokemon" said Misty. Ash also showed them pictures of Entei and the third legendary beast Raikou. Raikou was a black, yellow and white pokemon, with a purple mane, and it looked like a sabre-toothed cat. "Those three pokemon look amazing" said Tomo. "Wait till you see the forest," said Mr White "there are hundreds of pokemon in there". "Wow, I can't wait" said Ash.
When they reached the next dock, Ash made a phone call to Prof Oak. Ash told Prof Oak about Kurt and his theory with the GS ball and that they were heading for the forest in Arborville. "Hmm, it seems there is a lot to the GS ball than I thought," said Prof Oak "when you are done examining the shrine, in the forest, do tell me exactly what happened with the GS ball". "I will do professor" said Ash. Then Ash told him about seeing Suicune. "Wow Ash," said Prof Oak "Suicune is a magnificent pokemon; because it is said to have the power to purify tainted water". Ash was amazed and hoped that he would see Suicune again. Prof Oak then admitted to the gang that he had seen a Suicune one time in the past. Ash was just about to ask Prof Oak where he had seen it, when Mr White told the kids that they had to leave now. So Ash quickly finished the call and he and the others left with Mr White.
Back at Pallet Town, Prof Oak was in thought. He was thinking about the GS ball. "Ever since I first saw that GS ball something about it seemed familiar to me," he said to himself "and just looking at pictures of Suicune makes me think of the past. I wonder if I should have told Ash about it before he left for Johto, or before he even started becoming a pokemon trainer".
The gang were now travelling down a river, on a motor boat with Mr White. Ash couldn't wait to get to the forest and see the pokemon and visit the shrine. Right they had come to a waterfall. "What do we do now?" asked Misty, since they couldn't go up the waterfall on the boat. "Don't worry Misty" said Mr White, calmly. Mr White pressed a few buttons on his boat, and then the hydrofoils on the boat blew up like balloons. The boat began to float into the air like a small blimp. "Wow, this is great" said Tomo. "What a boat" said Misty. "I don't suppose you can turn this boat into a submarine as well could you Mr White?" Ash asked jokingly. "Sorry Ash, but I'm afraid my boat cannot do that" Mr White answered, laughing. The small blimp flew over the waterfall and into the sky.
After going over so many trees, the small blimp arrived at Arborville. The gang couldn't believe their eyes; Arborville was a village of treehouses, which meant people lived in treehouses and not in normal houses. "Wow I've never seen anything like it" said Tomo. "Yeah this is the first time that I have seen people living in trees too" said Misty. Mr White landed the small blimp on one of the treehouses, which was his home. "It's so peaceful here" said Misty. "Everyone here likes it peaceful," said Mr White "we are not so keen on those noisy, busy cities". "I can understand that," said Brock "we have past very noisy, busy places before".
The gang got down from Mr White's treehouse and started to walk to the entrance of the forest next to Arborville. It was the same entrance that Sam went through forty years ago. As the gang were getting nearer to the entrance, they were stopped by a voice. "Stop right there" the voice said. The voice belonged to Towa, who was now an old woman. "Are you kids going into the forest to look for pokemon?" asked Towa. "Yes ma'am we are" answered Ash. "You will like the forest" said another voice. The voice belonged to a young woman. Her name was Diana and she was Towa's granddaughter. Diana explained that Towa had been guarding the entrance of the forest for years. Towa warned the gang about the legendary voice of the forest and that they had to stand still if they ever heard it. The gang were puzzled about this, but they listened to the warning carefully. "Don't worry ma'am we will be careful and thank you for the warning" Ash said, politely.
The gang walked through the tunnel and entered the forest. "I wonder what that old woman meant about the voice of the forest" said Ash. "It's probably the voice of all the pokemon that live in this forest," said Brock "Mr White did tell us that there were hundreds of pokemon here. Suddenly a green, yellow, blue light appeared. What is this?" asked Misty "is it the voice of the forest?" "Wait a second," said Ash "I'm sensing a psychic power". He started to run to find out what it was. Tomo, Misty and Brock followed him.
What was happening was that Celebi had just time travelled, with Sam, from forty years ago and into the present. Celebi laid Sam's unconscious body on the ground, released itself from his arms and hid itself behind the forest shrine. The gang arrived on the scene as soon as Celebi just hid itself. "It's a kid" said Ash. "Is he okay?" asked Tomo. Misty checked him. "He's still breathing" she said. "We better take him back to Diana's house at once" said Brock. Ash placed Sam on his back to piggyback him, and then he and the others started to run back to Diana's house.
Once they got back to Diana's house and called her for help, Sam started to wake up from his unconsciousness. Ash placed Sam off his back and asked him if he was okay. Once Sam opened his eyes and saw Ash, he got panicky and grabbed him. "What have you done with Celebi?" he demanded. Ash pushed Sam back. "Take it easy, will you!" shouted Ash. Just then Sam came to his senses. "Where am I and how did I get here?" he asked. Just then Diana and Town turned up. "What's going on?" asked Diana. Suddenly Towa ran up to Sam and hugged him. "You have returned," she said "thank goodness that you are okay". Towa explained that Sam was disappeared forty years ago in the forest. Sam realised that Towa was the girl who came the loaf of bread, before he went into the forest.
Towa brought Sam and the gang back into her house and gave back his sketchbook. She had kept it safe for him for forty years. "You have been away on a forty year long journey" Towa said to Sam. Towa and Diana explained that the voice of the forest was said to have the power of catching a person and pokemon and take them on a trip through time. Ash looked thoughtful for a second and then he took out his legendary pokemon book from his back pack. He flipped through some pages and finally came to the page he was looking for. The page had a picture of Celebi. "I take it the voice of the forest is this pokemon?" he asked, showing off the picture to everyone. "Yes that's it," said Sam "that's the pokemon I met forty years ago". He asked the gang if they saw Celebi when they found him, but the gang didn't see it. Sam explained about the pokemon poacher that tried to catch Celebi forty years ago. "No wonder you ended up travelling through time with Celebi," said Diana "Celebi usually travel through time whenever they are in danger. So it's obvious Celebi did it to save both your life and its life". Sam stood up from his chair. "I have to go back into the forest and search for Celebi," he said "I have the feeling that it may still be hurt". Ash, Tomo, Misty and Brock decided to come along too. Sam was grateful and accepted their help. Towa explained that Celebi lived at a place called the Lake of Life, which was deep in the forest. The gang decided to set off at once.
Once Sam and the gang entered the forest, they arrived at the shrine first. "This is where we found you Sam" said Ash. "But Celebi is not here though" said Sam. "It must be somewhere else in this forest by now" said Brock. Suddenly a little light was shining from Ash's back pack. "Hey Ash, what's up with your back pack?" asked Misty. Ash took his back pack off his back and opened it up. "It's the GS ball that's glowing" he said. "GS Ball?" said Sam. Ash showed the GS ball to Sam and then stared at the shrine. "I wonder" he said. Ash held the GS ball in front of the shrine, and then the GS ball started to glow very bright. It floated a bit and then it suddenly opened up by itself. "Look at that!" gasped Brock. "Something has been inside of the GS ball all this time!" gasped Misty. Out of the GS ball was a Celebi. "Wow!" gasped Ash. The GS ball broke apart into two bits; the gold and silver bits were now separate from each other, instead of being connected. Celebi had its eyes closed for a moment and then it opened its eyes. 'Finally I'm free' it said in telepathy. It sounded feminine too. "This Celebi can talk" said Tomo. Celebi noticed Ash. 'Are you the one who released me from that ball human?" she asked. "Yes I am," said Ash "and my name is Ash". 'I thank you Ash,' said Celebi 'I have been stuck in that ball for a long time'. "How did you end up in the GS ball?" asked Ash.
Celebi explained her story. Twenty years ago, a pokemon hunter captured her in a cage, after he weakened her with a Houndour. Celebi was too weak to fight back and use her time travel ability. The pokemon hunter held the GS ball in his hand and showed it to her. 'That pokemon hunter said to me that he made that GS ball out of the feathers of Ho-oh and Lugia'. Ash and the others were surprised by that. "I hate to think what that pokemon hunter did to get those feathers" said Brock. "That must be why the GS ball had the letters G and S," said Misty "they meant gold and silver, because of Ho-oh and Lugia". 'Thanks to the GS ball, the pokemon hunter succeeded of capturing me' said Celebi. "But what happened after that?" asked Ash "I mean the GS ball was discovered on a beach at Valencia Island in the Orange Islands". 'The pokemon hunter had me under his control ever since he captured me,' said Celebi 'and I could never escape because of that GS ball. But about two years ago, the pokemon hunter was travelling on a boat and he had me, in my ball, with him. When suddenly a very violent storm sank the ship and while I was in the ball, I could hear and see what was happening. All the passengers were in panic and were all trying to get off the boat safely. In the process the GS ball ended up tossed overboard, with me still in it. The GS ball ended up tossed around in the sea and it looked like that it was going to end up sinking to the bottom of the sea. But thanks to some of the water pokemon, which lived in the sea, the GS ball ended up drifting to onto the shores of Valencia Island'. 'Wow you've had it rough' said Ash. 'I did Ash,' said Celebi 'but thanks to you I am finally free from the GS ball'. "I can't wait to tell Prof Ivy, Kurt and Prof Oak about all of this" said Ash. He looked at the broken GS ball and held one part of the GS ball in each hand. "What are you doing to do with the GS ball parts Ash?" asked Misty. "I'm going to keep them," said Ash "besides there's no point of tossing them away just because Celebi isn't in it anymore". Misty saw the point and Ash placed the GS ball parts in his back pack.
At that moment Sam reminded everyone that they needed to look for the Celebi that he time travelled with. Ash asked Celebi if she could help them. 'Of course,' said Celebi 'besides all of us Celebi always help each other'. With Celebi with them, Sam and the gang ran deeper into the forest to look for the Celebi of the forest. They soon came to some very big trees and some of the wild pokemon had gathered around them. 'I can sense that Celebi is hiding in the bark of one of those trees' said Celebi. "Then that's where we are going" said Sam. Sam and climbed up the vines of one of the trees to find Celebi. They soon found Celebi in a big hole of the tree, and it looked very weak. "Is this the Celebi Sam?" asked Ash. "Yes" said Sam. Celebi noticed Ash and Sam and started using leech seed to make them go away. The other Celebi flew in front of Ash and Sam. 'Don't be scared Celebi,' she said to Celebi 'these humans wish to help you'. "This Celebi is right," said Ash "so let us help you". Slowly and carefully, Ash placed a hand on Celebi's cheek and gently rubbed it. Celebi noticed it and started to calm down a bit. "There you see now Celebi," said Ash "we only want to help you". "That's right," said Sam "you're safe now Celebi". Celebi stopped its leech seed attack, meaning it trusted Ash and Sam now. Sam picked Celebi up and held it in his arms. "Celebi is really weak," he said "it needs help at once". "We'll take it back to the village for help" said Ash. Sam agreed.
Soon Sam and the gang started to run to get back to the village, with the two Celebi's. Sam held the one he travelled with and Ash held the Celebi that came out of the GS ball. But trouble was brewing in the forest; the Iron-masked Marauder was now in the forest. He was traveling on a big, mechanical machine that looked like a spider, and he was causing destruction wherever he was going. Iron-masked Marauder saw the kids with the Celebi's and stopped them in their tracks. "I have been searching for Celebi," he said "I'm glad you've found two Celebi's for me". "Who are you!?" demanded Ash. "My name is none of your concern kid," replied Iron-masked Marauder "now hand over the Celebi's". "No!" shouted Ash. Iron-masked Marauder took a dark ball off his vest and released his Tyranitar. 'That Tyranitar is an evil Tyranitar' said Celebi Tyranitar began to use hyper beam attack. Ash and the others started to run to get away from the attacks.
At that time Jessie, James and Meowth were watching what was going on from behind some trees. "Who on earth is that guy?" said Meowth. "That Meowth is the Iron-masked Marauder" said Jessie. "He is an elite officer of Team Rocket," said James "and it's said that he's the most powerful one of all". "Wow" said Meowth.
Iron-masked Marauder was still ordering his Tyranitar to use hyper beam, but then he noticed Jessie, James and Meowth hiding behind the trees. "Who are you three?" he asked. Jessie, James and Meowth came out from their hiding and introduced themselves to Iron-masked Marauder. "Since you are members of Team Rocket," said Iron-masked Marauder "I may have some use from you. Come with me". Jessie, James and Meowth climbed onto the mechanical spider. "I never thought we would ever team up with the Iron-masked Marauder" James whispered to the others. "Yeah, especially since we aren't even near his rank yet" whispered Jessie. "I wonder what he wants us for" Meowth whispered. Iron-masked Marauder sent out his Sneasel and other pokemon, a Scizor, from their dark balls and told them to go after the kids and Celebi's.
At that time the gang were still running. Misty was hurt because she had fallen over earlier and twisted one of her knees. Suddenly Sneasel and Scizor turned up. "Those pokemon must be that man's pokemon as well" said Brock. "Then we will have to fight them," said Ash "Celebi stay with the other Celebi". 'Okay Ash" replied Celebi. Ash released Houndour to fight Scizor. As Scizor was a bug and steel type pokemon; Houndour had the advantage, being a fire type. Sam handed the weak Celebi to Brock and asked him to take care of Celebi. Next Sam took out something from his back pack; it was some sort of metallic pokeball, with a little lid top on it. It was an early pokeball. A Charmeleon came out of it. Houndour battle Scizor and Charmeleon battled Sneasel. Scizor and Sneasel were strong and seemed tough to beat. But thanks to Houndour's flamethrower and Charmeleon's flamethrower, Sneasel and Scizor ended up defeated. Ash and Sam returned Houndour and Charmeleon, and then they tied up Scizor and Sneasel, with rope, around two big rocks. That they the two pokemon wouldn't be able to chase them. Then Sam and the gang ran off again.
As soon as they were gone, Iron-masked Marauder showed up. He noticed his tied up pokemon. "Those kids aren't as wimpy as I thought," he said "this make's things interesting". He continued on and left his pokemon there. Jessie, James and Meowth were surprised that Iron-masked Marauder just left his pokemon there. "Hey that doesn't seem right, to just leave the pokemon there" Meowth whispered. "Yeah even I would never do that" whispered Jessie. "Well he's said to be the meanest member of Team Rocket of all," whispered James "so whatever he thinks goes". The trio started to feel a bit nervous around Iron-masked Marauder.
Sam and the gang had gone deeper into the forest by now, and the weak Celebi was getting weaker by the second. "If we don't find a way out of this forest soon, Celebi may not make it" said Ash. Suddenly it started to get really foggy. "This is bad" said Brock. Brock was carrying Misty on his back because of her twisted knee. Just then the other Celebi flew in front of the gang. 'We are near the lake of life,' she said 'I know because I've been here before and Celebi can get healed there'. "Okay, lead the way please Celebi' said Ash. Celebi led the gang through the fog, past trees and long grass, until at last they came to a big lake. 'Here we are,' said Celebi 'this is the lake of life. Sam, place Celebi in the lake, and Celebi will do the rest'. Following Celebi's words, Sam walked into the lake, with Celebi still in his arms, and once Sam got to a deeper part of the lake he placed Celebi in the water. The other Celebi went into the lake as well. At that moment all of the wild pokemon in the forest were gathering around the lake. "They must be worried about Celebi" said Misty.
The two Celebi's started to swim under the water. Just then they both started to glow green and the green light started to spread throughout the whole lake. Sam got out of the lake at once. As soon as the light faded, the two Celebi's burst out of the lake feeling healthier than ever. "The lake of life's water healed the Celebi's" said Brock. The gang were relieved to know that the two Celebi's were alright now. The two Celebi's flew over to the gang. "How are you two feeling?" asked Ash. 'Celebi and I are both okay now, thanks to all of you' said Celebi. The other Celebi playfully splashed some water at Ash and Sam. Ash, Sam and Tomo jumped into the lake to swim with Celebi. There was lots of water pokemon living in the lake; manly Magikarp, Gyarados, Seaking, Quagsire and Remoraid. Just then Ash, Sam and Tomo were running out of air and needed to get back to the surface. The two Celebi's used the movie psychic, which made Ash, Sam and Tomo fly into the air. "We're flying!" shouted Tomo. Ash, Sam and Tomo flew with the two Celebi's over the lake of life. The other Celebi touched Misty's twisted knee and healed it in a second. Misty was grateful and thanked Celebi.
After spending some time with the now fully healed Celebi's, it was now time for the gang and Celebi's to get back to Arborville. On the way the two Celebi's found some trees full of red berries. The two Celebi's tried a berry each and found them delicious. 'Try some these berries,' said Celebi 'they are delicious'. The gang tried some of the berries and loved them a lot; even Pikachu, Growlithe and Togepi loved them. Ash stored some berries in his pockets for later.
That night, the gang were all asleep in their sleeping bags. Sam was wide awake though. He had been looking at the sleeping forms of Pikachu and the two Celebi's and was drawing them into his sketch pad. Ash woke up and noticed Sam was awake. "What's up Sam?" asked Ash "it's the middle of the night". "I can't sleep, that's all" replied Sam. Ash realised that Sam was drawing and got out of his sleeping bag to have a look at Sam's drawing. "Hey that's a really good drawing Sam" said Ash. "Thanks," said Sam "whenever I meet a pokemon, I sketch them in my sketch book". Ash asked Sam if he could have a look through the sketch book and Sam agreed. Apart from a picture of Pikachu and the two Celebi's, there was also a picture of three Bellossoms and a Rapidash and her baby Ponyta. "Wow," said Ash "these drawings are so good it looks like they will come alive and jump off the paper. It's also like looking at a home-made pokedex". Ash showed Sam his pokedex. "Things have changed a lot after forty years" sighed Sam. Ash noticed that Sam was missing his time. "Don't feel down Sam," he said "since Celebi is the one who brought you here in the present, I'm sure once it's fully healed, it will take you back to your time". "Thank you Ash" said Sam. Sam felt better after hearing Ash's words, and believed that he may go back to his time. Sam started to think about his mother and Ash told Sam about his mum. "Mum had always worried about me ever since I started becoming a pokemon trainer," said Ash "and now she worries about both me and Tomo". Ash told Sam about the time when Tomo became part of the family. "Wow, even though Tomo is your adopted brother, you two seem like real brothers" said Sam. Just then Ash started to feel hungry. Sam took out the bread what Towa gave him forty years ago, and both he and Ash ate it. "The bread tastes like it was only baked yesterday" said Sam.
Suddenly Pikachu and the two Celebi's woke up; they heard something and headed for the trees. "What's wrong Pikachu?" asked Ash. "Look over there Ash" said Sam, pointing to the trees. There were lots of Metapods clung to the trees and they were all evolving into Butterfree. "This is the biggest swarm of Butterfree that I have ever seen in life" said Ash. "Same here" said Sam. At that moment the sun began to rise. Ash and Sam climbed up a tree to get a perfect look at the sunset. The two boys, who were now friends, enjoyed watching the sunrise and Butterfree very much, and it was a memory that they would never forget in life.
When the sun fully rose, the gang and two Celebi's went on their way again back to Arborville. Right now they were back at the shrine. "We are getting close to the village now" said Ash. Suddenly a mechanical arm shot out from the bushes and tried to grab the two Celebi's. It was the Iron-masked Marauder in his mechanical spider, with Team Rocket. "Hand over the Celebi's twerps" said Meowth. Pikachu and Growlithe attacked the machine with thunderbolt and flamethrower, but the machine had some sort of barrier that protected it from attacks. Iron-masked Marauder had his machine's arms sway about, knocking down trees in the process. Just then one of the mechanical arms caught the other Celebi and Iron-masked Marauder shocked it to weaken it. Then he caught Celebi with a dark ball. 'Oh no!' gasped Celebi. The gang gasped at Celebi's capture as well. "Now this Celebi is mine" said Iron-masked Marauder. He didn't bother capturing the Celebi, which could speak, because he thought that one Celebi was just enough for him.
Ash and Sam started to climb up the machine to try and rescue Celebi. All the wild pokemon in the forest gathered around to help. Some wild Pidgeys distracted Iron-masked Marauder, giving Ash a chance to try and grab the dark ball. There was a struggle between Ash and Iron-masked Marauder and the mechanical spider ended up falling over. Ash managed to get the dark ball, but he was injured from falling off the mechanical spider. Iron-masked Marauder stepped on Ash's hands to make him let go of the dark ball. Ash tried to fight back, but he fainted from his injuries and Iron-masked Marauder got his dark ball back.
The wild pokemon started to surround Iron-masked Marauder to get him to let Celebi go. "Don't waste your time trying to save your friend," said Iron-masked Marauder "because it's no longer the Celebi you know". He released Celebi from the dark ball. Celebi looked okay, but its eyes looked lifeless. The other Celebi looked at it. 'Oh no,' she said 'because of that dark ball, Celebi is totally under control by that evil man'. "Celebi get rid of these pests" said Iron-masked Marauder. Following Iron-masked Marauders command, Celebi used its psychic powers to attack the wild pokemon. The other Celebi and the gang were not happy with this.
Jessie, James and Meowth were looking at what was happening by some broken trees. "Gosh" said James. "This is unbelievable" said Jessie. "I'm suddenly feeling a bit scared from all of this" said Meowth.
Iron-masked Marauder was impressed with Celebi's power. "Show me more of your power Celebi" he said. Celebi began to create a whirlwind and started picking up lots of sticks and leaves, which started to build a giant nest thing. In the process Jessie got sucked by the whirlwind. Iron-masked Marauder began to laugh at Celebi's creation. "With a pokemon like you Celebi, no one will stop me" he said.
Back in Arborville, Towa and Diana saw the giant nest in the forest, in their tree house. "What's going on Grandma?" asked Diana. "I don't know," said Towa "but I fear that something bad is happening in the forest. We need to investigate at once". Diana agreed, and she and her grandma went to Mr White to take them into the forest in his small blimp.
High up in the mountains, Suicune could sense that something was wrong in the forest, and it got off the mountain to investigate.
Meanwhile Ash had woken up from his injuries. Celebi had used her psychic powers to heal him. Sam, Tomo, Misty and Brock were relieved to know that Ash was okay. "We need to save Celebi" said Ash. Just then Towa, Diana and Mr White arrived on Mr White's blimp. "We are coming to get you" Towa called out. "Thank goodness they found us" said Misty. Once Mr White landed the small blimp, the gang boarded on at once. James and Meowth boarded too; they were worried about Jessie. Up in the air, they saw all the damage caused by Iron-masked Marauder with Celebi in tow. "This is awful" said Diana, looking at the path of broken trees. "Forcing the spirit of the forest to destroy the forest is despicable!" said Towa. Sam and the gang didn't like this either and neither did Celebi. 'If we don't stop that evil man soon, there's no telling what he would do to the rest of this forest' she said. Pikachu, Growlithe, Togepi and the humans agreed that the Iron-masked Marauder had to be stopped.
Meanwhile Iron-masked Marauder was still causing destruction in the forest, with his new dark Celebi, and he was enjoying every second of it. Celebi's nest was in the shape of a giant spiked ball. Jessie, who was tangled up in Celebi's nest vines, was struggling to get herself free. Iron-masked Marauder noticed this. "No need to fret," he said to Jessie "once you witness the great power that I've obtained, I shall set you free then. Celebi it's time to create more havoc". Celebi turned its nest from a spiked ball into a shape of a giant Scyther. Then Celebi fired a purple beam, which not only destroyed more trees but the lake as well. The lake lost its purity. "Wow that is impressive," said Jessie, who saw everything, "the boss will be delighted once you give it to him". Iron-masked Marauder laughed. "Who said I was going to give Celebi to the boss?" he said "With Celebi at my side, I have the power to destroy him and rule over Team Rocket and the whole world". Jessie realised that Iron-masked Marauder was a mad man and was betraying Giovanni.
Meanwhile, Towa, Diana, Mr White and the gang arrived at the scene, and saw Celebi's Scyther shaped nest. 'Oh my goodness,' said Celebi 'things are starting to get worse now'. Mr White drove the small blimp towards the nest. Ash called out to Celebi. Iron-masked noticed them and ordered Celebi to get rid of them. Celebi fired the purple beam at the small blimp, and it burst one of the balloon bits of the blimp. The small blimp drifted down and landed onto the lake and then onto the shore. Luckily no one was hurt. "We have to stop that horrible thing" said Towa, shakily.
Ash and Sam ran up to the nest. "Pikachu use thunderbolt" said Ash. Pikachu fired his thunderbolt attack at the nest, but it didn't work. Celebi fired energy ball to attack the nest, but that didn't work either. Iron-masked Marauder was becoming annoyed with them. "Celebi get rid of these children now" he said. The dark Celebi got its purple beam ready to fire at Ash, Pikachu, Sam and Celebi. The four gasped and feared the worst. Towa, Diana, Mr White, Tomo, Misty and Brock saw this. Tomo tried to run to Ash, but Brock stopped him in case he would get hurt.
The dark Celebi's beam was heading straight for Ash, Sam, Pikachu and Celebi, but then a blur of blue swooped in and grabbed Ash, Sam and the pokemon. It was Suicune. Suicune had them on its back and saved them just in time. "It's the pokemon of the north wind" said Towa. "Suicune!" gasped Mr White. Ash and Sam were surprised to see Suicune. "Suicune are you here to help us?" asked Ash. Suicune roared and nodded to say yes. "Take us to Celebi at once" said Ash.
At that moment, Iron-masked Marauder brought out his Tyranitar's dark ball and released it. He intended to capture Suicune next and add it to his team. "Tyranitar hyper beam" he said. Tyranitar got ready to attack Suicune. "Oh no you don't!" shouted Brock, taking out a pokeball, "go Steelix!" Steelix came out from his pokeball and then used iron head on Tyranitar. Tyranitar ended up using hyper beam in a different direction. While Tyranitar was being distracted by Steelix, Suicune carried Ash and Sam to Celebi. Dark Celebi was in the mouth of the Scyther shaped nest. Ash called out to it. Dark Celebi saw them and shook them off the nest. Steelix was having trouble fighting against a very strong Tyranitar. Suicune fired bubblebeam at Tyranitar. Being a rock type pokemon; Tyranitar fainted from the water type attack. Then Steelix used his iron tail attack to send Tyranitar flying into the lake. Steelix was exhausted from fighting Tyranitar and fainted. "Good work Steelix" said Brock, returning it.
Iron-masked Marauder ordered Dark Celebi to attack next. Suicune used bubblebeam at the nest and Celebi used leaf storm, but none of the attacks worked. Dark Celebi grabbed Suicune with a tendril and started to shock it, with Ash, Pikachu and Sam still on it. "This is what happens whenever someone messes with me" laughed Iron-asked Marauder. Ash and Sam fell off Suicune and started tumbling down the nest, but Jessie grabbed them and pulled them up. "You must stop that man," said Jessie "he is insane". Sam thanked Jessie, and then he and Ash climbed up the nest to Dark Celebi.
The other Celebi was already at the mouth of the Scyther shaped nest. 'Celebi is in real trouble' she said to Ash and Sam. "Celebi, snap out of it!" shouted Ash. "Yeah, you are supposed to be protecting the forest, not destroying it" said Sam. Dark Celebi heard Ash and Sam's words and started to snap out of it a tiny bit, and stopped shocking Suicune. "Hurry up and finish off your enemies Celebi!" shouted Iron-masked Marauder. Dark Celebi got back under Iron-masked Marauder's control and began sending off electric shocks again. Ash and Sam climbed up the vines of the nest to get to dark Celebi. "We are not your enemies Celebi!" shouted Ash "that hunter is your enemy. We are trying to save you from him". Dark Celebi snapped out of it a tiny bit more. Outside, all of the wild pokemon of the forest were calling out to Celebi. Ash and Sam climbed up the vines some more, until they finally reached dark Celebi. 'Celebi you need to remember who are what you are,' said Celebi 'you are not evil. You are Celebi, the protector of this forest'. "That's right," said Ash "and remember that we are your friends". "And you brought me from the past into this time with you" said Sam. Sam grabbed onto Celebi and held onto it. Dark Celebi began remembering everything; how it met Sam and time travelled with him, meeting Ash, Tomo, Misty and Brock, flying around with the other Celebi, having fun with Ash, Sam and Tomo, eating berries with the gang and watching the sunset and Butterfree swarm with Ash, Pikachu, Sam and the other Celebi. Then dark Celebi started to really snap out of its control from the dark ball.
At that time, Suicune was free from the tendril and it fell into the lake and Celebi's dark ball exploded. Celebi was now free. 'Celebi is no longer evil now' said Celebi. "All right we did it!" cheered Ash. Now that Celebi was no longer dark Celebi, the Scyther shaped nest fell apart and crumbled to bits. Jessie was free at last and the Iron-masked Marauder fell off the nest and into the lake. The two Celebi's used psychic to help Ash, Sam and Pikachu get to safety.
Suddenly Celebi began to get very weak and looked faint. Ash and Sam landed safely on the shore of the lake and they checked the weak Celebi all over. Towa, Diana, Mr White, Tomo, Growlithe, Misty, Brock and Suicune ran over to them and were relieved that they were all okay. But they saw the worried faces of Ash and Sam. "What's wrong?" asked Misty. "Something is wrong with Celebi" said Ash. The other Celebi touched the weak Celebi. 'Oh no,' she said 'because it was under that man's control and fighting to set itself free from his control, Celebi is really weak from using so much power'. Just as she said those words, Celebi began to wither. The humans gasped at that. "Quick get it into the lake" said Brock. Ash placed Celebi into the lake to get healed, but it didn't work. "The forest is badly hurt," said Towa "the water has been tainted, so the lake is dying". Just then Diana had an idea; she knew that Suicune had the power to purify water. "Suicune please clean the water so that we can save Celebi" she pleaded. Suicune glowed blue and it ran on top of the water. As soon as its feet touched the water, the water glowed blue, and after a few seconds, the water was clean again. "Wow, the legends about Suicune are true" said Mr White. Ash placed Celebi into the lake again, but even with the lake clean again it still didn't work. Everyone began to worry. Ash sat down on the bank of the lake, with Celebi still in his arms, and tried to feed Celebi with some of the berries he saved yesterday. But Celebi didn't respond and the berries fell into the lake. The other Celebi touched the weak Celebi again. 'Celebi is dying' she said, sadly. "No, Celebi can't die," said Ash, sadly, "it can't". He began to cry for Celebi. Sam, Towa, Growlithe, Misty, Togepi, Brock, Towa, Diana and Mr White began to cry too. "This isn't fair," said Sam, sadly, "Celebi didn't do anything wrong. An evil human being forced Celebi to destroy the forest, and Celebi didn't have a choice. It's that man's fault that things went like this, and it's also his fault that Celebi is going to die". Suicune and all of the wild pokemon in the forest began to mourn for Celebi.
The other Celebi flew towards the middle of the lake and went up into the sky. 'I won't let things end like this' she said. She began to glow green. 'Spirits of the past and future, please hear my call. Come forth and help our friend who needs your help'. After she said those words, a green, yellow blue light appeared in the area. "It's the voice of the forest" said Towa. Suddenly about two dozen of Celebi turned up. Everyone was amazed about how many Celebi there were. The Celebi's used psychic to lift the wilted Celebi out of Ash's arms and into the sky. Then all of the Celebi's, including the Celebi from the GS ball, circled around the wilted Celebi and used their powers to restore Celebi to life again. In no time at all, Celebi was alive and well again. Everyone saw that Celebi was alive again and were relieved. "The spirits of the past and future came here to help their friend" said Towa. "This is a miracle" said Ash. The rest of the humans agreed with Ash's words. The two Celebi's thanked the Celebi's from the past and future, and then the two dozen Celebi's left to go back to the times they came from. The two remaining Celebi flew around the lake together, happily. The humans, Suicune and all of the pokemon were happy to see Celebi alive and well again.
The two Celebi's were just about to fly towards the humans, but suddenly Iron-masked Marauder burst out of the lake and grabbed them. "With these two Celebi's, I have the power to rule the whole world" he said. Iron-masked Marauder wasn't going to give up so easily. He had a jet pack on his back and was about to take off. "Let those Celebi go!" shouted Ash, running up to Iron-masked Marauder. Ash wasn't willing to let Iron-masked Marauder do anymore bad things to Celebi. He grabbed onto Iron-masked Marauder's legs, with Pikachu holding onto him, just as he had taken off. "Ash, Celebi!" called out Sam, just as they were flying away. Iron-masked Marauder tried to kick Ash and Pikachu off him, but Ash didn't give in. He climbed up Iron-masked Marauder and told Pikachu to use thunderbolt on the jet pack. Pikachu ended up shocking both Ash and the Iron-masked Marauder and broke the jet pack. Ash, Pikachu and Iron-masked Marauder went falling towards the ground. Ash grabbed onto Pikachu and they both braced themselves, but then one of the two Celebi's used psychic to save Ash and Celebi. Iron-masked Marauder had let go of them when he got zapped by Pikachu. "Thank you Celebi" smiled Ash. Tomo, Misty, Brock and Sam were relieved that Ash, Pikachu and the two Celebi's were save.
The Iron-masked Marauder wasn't lucky though; he fell through the trees and came crashing down through the branches. When he finally hit the ground, his mask came off and he saw Towa, Diana and Mr White staring at him. They were very cross with what he had done. "You tried to destroy our forest mister," said Towa "and we don't forgive that sort of behaviour". Mr White crackled his knuckles, wanting to punch Iron-masked Marauder a hundred times. The wild pokemon of the forest surrounded him too and they too were angry. Iron-masked Marauder tried to reach out for his Scizor and Sneasel, but then he realised that he abandoned them somewhere in the forest yesterday. Some Caterpie, Weedle and Spinarak used string shot to tie him up good and tight. "Now you will be punished for your actions" said Towa.
Suicune got ready to leave, now that the trouble was over with. "Thank you Suicune," said Ash "I hope we will see you again someday". "Goodbye Suicune" said Sam. Then Suicune left the area.
After Suicune's departure Ash turned to the Celebi from the GS ball. "What are you going to do now?" he asked her. 'I have already thought what I want to do' replied Celebi. "Oh really, what?" asked Ash. Celebi smiled at Ash. 'I want you to capture me Ash' she said. Everyone was surprised from Celebi's words. "But you are finally free, after being stuck in that GS ball for twenty years," said Ash "are you sure you want to me to capture you". 'Yes Ash,' said Celebi 'I feel save and happy when I am with you. I want to be your pokemon now, so please capture me'. Ash hesitated for a moment, and then he took out an empty pokeball. "I accept your wish Celebi" he said. He tossed the pokeball at Celebi, and then Celebi was caught. "Wow, I have my own Celebi" smiled Ash. Then the pokeball disappeared to Prof Oak's lab. "I know very well that Celebi is in very good hands," said Towa "because you, Ash, are nothing like that evil man or that pokemon hunter from forty years ago. So I pray that both you and Celebi will be happy together for ever after". "Yeah that Celebi could never be in any better hands, other than yours Ash" said Sam. Ash smiled at Sam and Towa's words.
At that time the other Celebi flew into the sky and started to glow green, and a green, yellow and blue light came out of it. "It seems Celebi is ready to travel back in time," said Towa "and I think it wants to take you along with it Sam". "Can you really bring me back to forty years ago Celebi?" asked Sam. Celebi nodded to say yes. Sam turned to Ash; he knew that he had to leave Ash and the others. "This means that you are finally going home Sam" said Ash. "Yeah" Sam sighed. Sam didn't feel like saying goodbye to Ash yet. "Don't worry," said Ash "wherever or whenever you are, we will always be friends. And I have all the memories of us together right here in my head". "Same here Ash" said Sam. Celebi used psychic to hold onto Sam and they started to get ready to travel back in time. "Thank you Ash, you have been a great friend to me," said Sam "and I thank all of you for everything. Goodbye". Ash and the others tearfully waved goodbye to Sam, as he and Celebi disappeared back into the past. Ash felt sad, because of his new friend's departure, but he knew very well that going back to forty years ago was what Sam wanted.
Sam did go back to forty years ago. He woke up in front of the shrine and realised that Celebi wasn't with him. Suddenly the younger Towa turned up and asked Sam if he was okay because of the voice of the forest. Sam calmly said that everything was okay now. He was happy to be back where he came from.
In the present time, Ash, Tomo, Misty and Brock said goodbye to Towa and Diana and left Arborville in Mr White's new boat. Right now they were back at the port, and were talking to Prof Oak on a phone booth. Brock and Misty told him all about Suicune and Celebi. Next Ash told him all about what had happened with the GS ball and the Celebi inside it and Prof Oak promised to tell Prof Ivy and Kurt all about it. "I have received your Celebi Ash," he said "and I promise you she will be safe with me". He and Tracey had found out about Celebi being able to talk in telepathy. "Thank you Professor" said Ash. Prof Oak realised that Ash was feeling down and asked him what was wrong. "Well Professor," said Ash "I became friends with a pokemon trainer in the forest. But we went back to where he came from, in another time. And I feel like that I will never see him again". Ash still felt upset about Sam's departure. "Don't worry Ash," said Prof Oak "true friendships withstand the test of time, and I have a feeling that this friendship between you and Sam will. I'm sure you two will be friends forever, no matter what time it is". Ash thanked Prof Oak for his words. Just then a boat whistled. "We better get going, otherwise we will miss the boat" said Brock. The gang said goodbye to Prof Oak and got off the phone.
Just then Misty noticed something. "How did Prof Oak know Sam's name?" she asked "I mean we never mentioned it to him". "Maybe Sam and Prof Oak have met each other sometime in the past, and Sam told Prof Oak all about us" said Ash. "Yeah that makes sense" said Brock. Then they ran onto the boat, just at the last minute, to set off on their journey.
Back in Pallet Town; Prof Oak was looking at an old sketchbook with drawings in it, and was talking to Ash's new Celebi. "It seems like only yesterday when it all happened Celebi" he said. 'I can see that you haven't forgotten about that time Sam' said Celebi. The truth is Sam was actually the younger Prof Oak and his old sketch book was now eighty years old, since it had gone through another forty years. The drawings inside it had now all faded by then, especially his drawing of Pikachu and the two Celebi's. "You're right I haven't," said Prof Oak "it was that experience with time travelling that I had, that made me want to invent the pokedex and give Ash a Pikachu for a starter pokemon". 'Are you going to tell Ash' asked Celebi. "No," said Prof Oak "I feel that it's best not to, and anyway Ash did tell me that he would treasure his memories of the younger me always". Celebi understood.
So everything turned out okay in the forest; Sam finally went back to his own time and Iron-masked Marauder was arrested and condemned to stay in jail for life because of his very evil ways. As for his Tyranitar, Scizor and Sneasel; they lived newer lives in the wild, finally free from the Iron-masked Marauder's dark balls.
James and Meowth found Jessie after all the trouble was over, and they agreed to tell the boss about Iron-masked Marauder treachery. "The boss won't be bailing him out that's for sure" said James. The trio also decided not to tell about Celebi, because of what had happened. They couldn't bear the thought of the boss destroying the forest because of Celebi. So they left the forest in peace.
Sorry for the wait. Hope you don't mind the lots of changes Seriously, in my opinion, it's pretty ridiculous that they scrapped out the GS ball in the anime. I mean they could have found a way to include it in the movie. I decided to make the Celebi that Ash captures talk in telepathy because of it being a psychic type. I've seen both the endings of the Celebi movie; both original and dub version, so I decided to add them in a bit together. Don't forget to vote on my poll for what two starter pokemon that Tomo will get on his tenth birthday.
