Chapter 84: Time Warped

Today I went into Ilex Forest. There is something I wanted to do.

I went up to the Shrine. It was magnificent to look at. But what was it's secret? Suddenly I tripped and my finger brushed it. Before me, I saw a green light and what looked like a small green Pokémon. By the time I got out my Pokedex, it was gone.

I was in front of the shrine again, but it had no sign about touching it. This was odd.

"You shouldn't have done that". There was an old man. "I am the Timekeeper. I help those lost from the future get back to their own time." I was confused. What did he mean future? "I know your name. You are Ethan Schneider, the future Champion."

I was officially confused. What did he mean by future? I ran off.

I was in Goldenrod City. However, it was different. The Magnet Train wasn't there. It was under construction. The Timekeeper caught up with me. "Ethan, you have gone 3 years back in time. Do you want to get back?" I told him yes. "Well you will need to find Celebi. It will be in Kanto. Let me send you there. I gotta put up a sign telling people not to touch the Shrine." He sent out an Abra and I was zapped away.

I soon found out where I was. Pallet Town! I looked around, still processing the situation. Maybe Professor Oak would know what to do?

I rushed into the Lab and saw him. "Hello young sir. Who might you be?" I told him I needed help to find Celebi. "Celebi. Never heard of it. Listen, I am very busy right now. I have a meeting with Red. He is just outside." Red!? I ran out.

I saw him. In the distance. He was talking to a Pokémon that looked very familiar.

It was Mewtwo!

Legendary Pokémon.

After the talking, Mewtwo went off.

I needed to follow it. I needed to get to a PC. To Viridian City!

I ran along Route 1. I was still trying to believe if I had really been sent back in time. Suddenly, I encountered a Pokémon. A Pidgey!

I sent out Ampharos. "Woah!" A bunch of Trainers gathered round me. "Who is that?" one of them asked. I said it was Ampharos, a Pokémon from Johto. "Never heard of it" said another Trainer.

Ampharos ThunderPunched Pidgey and I continued to Viridian.

Finally, I made it to Viridian. People looked at me as I ran about in confusion. I found the Pokémon Centre.

I ran to the PC and entered my Trainer Card. A message popped up on the screen. "Card unrecognizable" it said. I needed Gyarados to follow Mewtwo. I tried jamming in the Trainer Card. "Don't force it!" Nurse Joy shouted. "What is wrong with you?!" I told her the situation. I was from the future and I needed to find Celebi. I also needed Gyarados to chase a Mewtwo that had just flew off south of Pallet Town.

Everyone in the Pokémon Centre laughed. "I have never heard so much rubbish in my life" Nurse Joy mentioned. "I'm calling the Police".

Well. This was how my journey would end. In prison three years in the past.

"No need". I spiky haired boy came in.

"Blue!" Nurse Joy said. "This Trainer is saying he is from the future and destroying Pokémon Centre equipment." Blue sighed. "Let me see your card" he told me. I handed it to him. "It's authentic" he said. "I'll help him."

"I'm working on becoming a Gym Leader" Blue told me. I told him that it was a great idea and that he would do it. "Tell me. What happens in the future?" I told him that Team Rocket returns. "What?" Blue shouted. "So they come back in this Johto that you tell me about?" I nodded. "Interesting. Let me see your Badges." I showed them to him. "These are authentic to. Okay. I believe you. Maybe you could break the laws of the Pokémon world for once?" he said.

I sent out Suicune. "That's a Pokémon of yours?" I nodded. "Wow. Okay. Good luck. I will watch you depart."

We went to Pallet Town and I hopped on Suicune. "Good luck" said Blue. "Listen. If I become Gym Leader, I will battle you. I promise." I gave him a smile and Suicune ran across the water.

I reached Cinnabar Island and saw Mewtwo. "Who are you?" Mewtwo asked. I told it that I ended up here thanks to Celebi. "What are you talking about?" it asked. "No. I no longer trust humans. I never will again." That was my weapon. If Mewtwo never trusted humans again, then why did it save me in the Whirl Islands? "Nonsense" it said.

I told it to follow me. "No" it said. Fine. Then I would battle it. If I win, it would do what I say, including save me in the future. "Fine".

The battle with Mewtwo began. I sent out Ampharos. Ampharos used Thunder on Mewtwo, which hit. Mewtwo came back with Swift. I had enough already. I threw a Masterball and caught Mewtwo.

Before it got transferred to the PC, I grabbed the Master Ball. With all my might, I tore it apart freeing Mewtwo. "What do you want?" Mewtwo asked. I once again got on Suicune and rode off, telling Mewtwo to follow.

We continued running until we got to a point in the sea where the Whirl Islands could be seen. I told Mewtwo that this is where I would be saved. If it didn't know, then remember that Suicune will be the one that helps to.

"Fine" Mewtwo told me. "I suppose I should help you find this Celebi to". It lifted me up with it's Psychic powers and flew me up so high a got a great view of Kanto. Mewtwo then rocketed back down into Viridian Forest.

Celebi was indeed there.

Celebi

251

Psychic/Grass Type

Time Travel Pokémon

2'00" (0.6 m)

This Pokémon wanders across time. Grass and trees flourish in the forests in which it has appeared.

Legendary Pokémon.

Celebi instantly recognized me. I told Celebi it was time to go home. I thanked Mewtwo, but Mewtwo was gone by the time I turned around.

I grabbed onto Celebi and was led through a green portal.

At the end, I was back at the Shrine in the present day. Celebi was nowhere to be seen. "So how was your little trip?" It was the Timemaster. It was exhausting.

But if I had learned anything, it's that Celebi would make a great website mascot.
