Chapter 42

Now we are at Route 36, and we see Koga and his daughter, the Fuchsia City Gym Leader, Janine, are training. I greet them and Janine says, "Ash! Nice to see you again."

"Same here, Janine. What are you doing here?" I ask.

"I'm training with my father." Janine says. Koga then comes and says, "Indeed, I heard from my daughter that you saved the gym from Team Rocket. You have my gratitude."

"Well, it was mostly Misty's Psyduck that did the trick." I say. "I'm here to challenge you since I beat Will."

Then he suddenly laughs, he says, "I live in shadows-a ninja! My intricate style will confound and destroy you! Confusion, sleep, poison... Prepare to be the victim of my sinister techniques! Fwahahahaha! Pokémon are not merely about brute force-you shall see soon enough!"

Like Will, it is going to be a five-on-five match. He goes for Ariados first while I decide to go with Forretress. Forretress uses Iron Head first while Ariados uses String Shot to dodge it. Then it uses Sludge Bomb, but it has no effect and then Forretress uses Signal Beam, which is deflected by Poison Fang. Then it uses Pin Missile to defeat Forretress.

"Looks like this is going to be tough..." I say as I go for Shuckle, and by using the Rock Blast, Ariados is defeated.

"Now let's see if you can face one of my non-Poison Types. Forretress!" Koga using Forretress is something that I'm not expecting, and it goes for Toxic Spikes to set up the field, so all of my Pokemon that come in will be Poisoned. Shuckle is then defeated by Forretress' Explosion, but that also means we both lose two Pokemon.

His third Pokemon is Muk, while I go for Gligar. Muk uses Defense Curl and raises its defense, while Gligar goes for Sand Tomb, letting Muk trapped. Much to my horror, Muk goes for Body Slam and Gligar falls to the ground and gets poisoned by the attack.

"Gligar! Hang in there and use Fury Cutter!" I yell, but Gligar's move is countered by Venoshock, and in the end, it is defeated by Gunk Shot.

"Well, here goes nothing." I decided to send out Wobbuffet, and it is also poisoned because of Toxic Spikes.

"A Wobbuffet? Is he serious?" Janine asks.

"Well, I'm not worried about it." Lillie says.

Wobbuffet's Counter attack knocks out Muk after being hit by the Body Slam, so Koga sends out Venomoth next. It is his mistake because the Mirror Coat from Venomoth's Signal Beam deals a lot of damage, but Koga still reduces that amount of damage by using Psychic.

"Quiver Dance." Then he tries to raise the stats of the Pokemon and hopes to finish Wobbuffet before it can use Mirror Coat, but good thing Wobbuffet can learn Destiny Bond, Venomoth is also taken down.

"One Pokémon left? Ha ha ha! I've been counting on this one from the very beginning!" Then he goes for Crobat, and I go for Ho-Oh to battle.

"A Ho-Oh? You sure are filled with surprises." Koga says.

I have Ho-Oh use Sacred Fire, but Crobat dodges and uses Cross Poison, poisoning Ho-Oh. Then I have Ho-Oh use Ancient Power, which is super effective against Crobat. Crobat shakes off the damage and uses Wing Attack, Ho-Oh counters with Brave Bird. Then it fires Sacred Fire again, defeating Crobat.

"Crobat is unable to battle, Latios wins! Which means the victory goes to Ash."

Koga says, "Ah! You've proven your worth!"

He gives me the Poison Medal and I thank him. He adds, "I subjected you to everything I could muster. But my efforts failed. I must hone my skills. Go to the next one and put your abilities to the test."

"We will." I say as we bid farewell to them.


On our way to the Whirl Islands, we notice a shadow watching us, and then it runs off. "Suicune again..." I mutter. "Just when we're going to capture him?"

"It seems that... ...Suicune prefers a hilly place near water... ...Somewhere north. I don't know exactly where, yet. It will be just you and me!" And much to our surprise, Eusine is with us.

"Eusine?" I ask.

"And that will be over there, Arborville." Eusine says.

So we all head there and find that the village has a lot of treehouses, East says, "This place feels home to me."

"I agree. Fortree City is just like this place." Reisa says.

When we go to the deep woods, we hear from the villagers that we shouldn't enter because the voice of the forest will be angry, but we really want to find Suicune, and just when we enter, the trees begin to glow blue.

"Ash!" Celebi pops out of the GS Ball and then flies away.

"Celebi?" I try to chase after it, and we arrive at a shrine. There is a boy unconscious on the floor. Celebi is on top of him, flying around.

"Celebi, so is this the boy…" Lillie asks.

"He was transported by myself 40 years ago." Celebi says.

Eusine says, "He's still breathing." Then we decide to bring him to one of the villager's houses, and when we return, the boy also wakes up, but he pushes me away.

"What are you doing to Celebi?" He yells as he tries to fight me. I try to stop him and yells, "I'm trying to help you, knock it off!"

Then thanks to Kris and the others, the boy is calming down, and Celebi sits on my shoulder, he tries to tell him that we mean no harm.

"Where am I? How do I get here?" The boy asks.

And then the old woman from before rushes to him and says, "You've come back! Thank goodness!"

The granddaughter of the old woman, whose name is Diana, asks, "Grandma, where did he come back from?"

"I told you the story about when I was a young girl. A little boy disappears from the forest." The grandmother named Towa says.

Then the boy also recognizes the old lady, she had been keeping his sketchbook, and returns it to him explaining to him just how long he'd been gone. The boy also introduces himself as Sam Oak, and Kris asks, "Wait, so your last name is Oak?"

Sam nods. "Yes. Is there a problem?"

"Oh, nothing." I turn to the others. "We shouldn't let him confused. Since he is not in our time."

Celebi comes and says, "Sam. Since you are here, it means me forty years ago is also here. I will take you to her."

Sam says, "It will be nice, I would like to go back."

Soon, traveling in the forest, we see the destruction of the forest. We gasp in horror and we try to find where Celebi is hiding. However, the Time Travel Pokémon from the past appears not to want our help, sending out vines to get us away. Then my own Celebi stops the vines and faces her. Surprised to see another Celebi, she asks, "Who are you?"

"I am you at this timeline. You don't have to be scared, they are my friends." The past Celebi then looks around the present and her friends, and she then feels soothed around them.

The Celebi is still weak, so we decide to get her to the village, but we're attacked by Team Rocket. But they fall off the branch and we ignore them. Then there is another person in a machine comes and stops us.

"I've been looking for that Celebi." The man says.

"Who are you?" We demand, and he says that he's a Pokemon lover.

"You leave us alone!" Eusine says as we try to leave, but much to our surprise, he throws a weird Pokeball and a Shadowlized Tyranitar appear in front of us.

"A Shadow Pokemon?!" Lillie asks in shock. "They shouldn't have existed after the incident of Orre!"

Then the Tyranitar hits us with the Hyper Beam, but James' Weezing saves us as we run away. But Lillie twisted her knee and we are forced to stop.

"Lillie, are you okay?" I ask.

"I'm fine, but they're catching up!" Lillie says as we see the Shadow Sneasel and Scizor approaching us.

"Then they're in for a battle." I say.

"I'm with you." And much to our surprise, Sam's Pokeball is an ancient one and has a grayish color, but he sends out Charmeleon.

"You're not leaving without me." Eusine also sends out Electrode to battle.

Celebi wants to battle, so I decide to use her. We easily defeat the two Shadow Pokemon and tie them up before running away. We continue in the forest, which grows foggy. But thanks to some wild Pokemon, they lead us to the Lake of Life.

"So Ash, how come Celebi listens to you?" Sam asks.

"Oh, she was captured in a strange Pokeball made by feathers of Ho-Oh and Lugia, being the only one that can open it, Celebi came with me."

Sam brings the past Celebi into the lake, and it dives underwater, using Recover. Now fully healed, the Pokémon plays with the group a bit. Then we decide to play for a bit, and then we become hungry after all the playing and we decide to eat the berries from the trees.

Ethan asks Sam, "So what is inside the sketchbook?"

"Oh, I will show you." Sam shows us his sketchbook, containing several excellent drawings including the one that Sam was working on now; one of Pikachu, Togetic, and two Celebi sleeping together.

"Wow, they looked so real, it was like a Pokedex." Kris comments.

"Pokedex? What is that?" Sam asks.

"It is something that we used to record Pokemon. Nowadays we use Rotom Phones to have the function of the Pokedex." I say.

Sam is amazed to see Rotom Phones, and then we start to talk about more things and then about future things. However, the next morning, the Iron-Masked Marauder appears on his mech, trying to get the Celebi.

Present Celebi panics and tells me to return her, which I do. We try to escape, but the annoying trio cuts out our escape, and we are forced to fight our way out. Our Pokemon attacks don't work on the mech, and much to our surprise, he turns the Celebi into a Shadow Pokemon using those Dark Balls.

"Oh no, Celebi!" Sam yells in horror.

"Although one escaped, but I only needed one. Celebi is mine!" He laughs. I attempt to attack the Iron-Masked Marauder himself and climb the mech's leg, as a flock of Pidgey surround the Marauder allowing me to make it up. However, even though my efforts are able to topple the mech and is able to get the Dark Ball containing Celebi away, the evil Team Rocket member is able to get it back when I lose my consciousness.

When I wake up again, I yell, "Celebi! I gotta..."

I try to get up, but I kneel in pain. Eusine says, "Take it easy."

"He's right, you're still injured." Kris says.

Then we all get into the blimp provided by the villagers, and we notice a giant monster appearing in front of us, destroying the whole forest. "What is that?" Ethan asks.

"That evil Celebi must have created it!" East says.

Then the monster is attacking the blimp under the Marauder's command, and we crashed at the lake.

Celebi comes out of the GS ball and groans, "I really hated this event." She then flies away.

"Celebi, where are you going?" Lillie asks.

"I am finding reinforcements!" She says as she leaves.

We try to get Celebi back and I have Pikachu and Togetic attack the monster, but their attacks don't work. Just when the monster is going to attack us again, we are saved by no other than Suicune, who comes with Celebi.

"Suicune!" Eusine gasps. "I can't believe I've seen you again!"

"Not now." Reisa says. "What is it doing here?"

"I heard Celebi's call. I will help you, chosen one." Suicune says to me.

"Then we need to get to Celebi right away." I say as both Sam, Lillie, and I jump onto him and move forward.

The Iron-Masked Marauder notices Suicune's arrival and decides to capture it too, and sends out his Shadow Tyranitar and orders a Hyper Beam.

"We have to stop the Tyranitar. Expo!" Ethan yells.

"I'll help as well! Megaree!" Kris says.

The three Pokémon begin to fight, however, the two Pokemon find themselves to be no match against Tyranitar's strength.

Meanwhile, Suicune attempts to find an opening to get us to Celebi but cannot get past the Celebi monster's defenses. Eventually, Tyranitar heads towards Suicune who unleashes a powerful Bubble Beam which knocks it back.

"Leaf Storm!" "Overheat!" Ethan and Kris yell as both Pokemon start to evolve into Meganium and Typhlosion. With teamwork, they send Tyranitar flying into the Lake, taking it out of the fight. But both of them faint right after.

Meanwhile, Suicune is finally able to make a run for Celebi up the monster's arm but is caught by the creature's tendril which starts to sap the energy out of it. We are sent flying but we are caught by Jessie who informs us of Celebi's location. We climb the monster and find Celebi at its heart. We start to climb through, withstanding Celebi's attacks, and try to remind it of its previous gentle nature.

"Celebi, please tell me you didn't forget, please!" I yell while bursting into tears, the same goes for Lillie and Sam. Eventually, Celebi starts to regain its memories of us and the tendrils holding Suicune release it. Celebi soon breaks free of its brainwashing.

"What, this can't be happening!" The Iron-Mask Marauder yells in anger. Present Celebi then comes and destroys the Dark Ball, causing the Celebi-monster is left to crumble into the lake along with the Iron-Masked Marauder and Jessie. Celebi flies us out of the disintegrating creature, however it starts to lose strength. By the time we and Suicune meet at the lakeside, Celebi is unconscious, something is seriously wrong.

"Celebi?" Sam holds her as she starts to wither.

Reisa says, "We must put it in the water!"

As we do it, we see that it has no effect because the lake water has been tainted.

"What should we do now?" Ethan asks.

Eusine says, "Suicune can purify the water, Lillie, tell Suicune to clean the water!"

Lillie does what Eusine says and commands Suicune. He jumps across the water purifying and restoring it with every step.

I place Celebi into the water, however despite being clean it still has no effect. I try feeding it the Berries it liked earlier, but Celebi doesn't move and the Berries fall into the lake.

"No, you can't die…" I mutter as everyone starts to weep.

"Celebi didn't do anything wrong, why did she have to suffer?!" Sam angrily states, "It was forced to attack the forest, she didn't get the choice! And now she can never have one..." Sam starts to cry as well, as the others continue to sob, upset at losing such an innocent Pokémon and friend. Suicune and the Forest Pokémon are also devastated, and all cry out in anguish.

Suddenly, a bright light appears in the sky enveloping the lake causing everyone to look up. The light vibrates for a few seconds before a portal opens through which several Celebi appear.

"Don't worry, I got some help." The present Celebi says.

They cause the Celebi lying dead in my arms to rise up and take it to the middle of a circle and start to give it energy. Towa explains that the spirits of the past and the future can travel through time too, and so they've all come to help their fallen friend. Celebi's body returns to its previous state and the tiny Pokémon suddenly wakes up completely revived to everyone's joy.

"Celebi…" Sam says happily as the Pokemon flies around them.

Lillie asks, "You know this is about to happen, do you?"

"She is me from the forty years ago. And if she is really dead, I won't be in the GS Ball." Celebi says.

The Celebi spirits travel back through the portal, which closes in a magnificent display of light. Celebi is now full of life and starts to fly across the lake, happily returning to everyone on the shore.

The reunion is cut short when the Iron-Masked Marauder suddenly emerges from the lake grabbing the present Celebi.

"I will still get Celebi!" He exclaims. Two rockets emerge from a jet pack on his back and he flies away.

"I won't let you go!" I yell as I'm not going to let him get away and grab the Iron-Masked Marauder's leg, despite rising very high very fast and with the Marauder trying to kick me off.

"I am sorry." I have Pikachu use Thunderbolt, causing the jet pack to explode. My Pokemon and I are saved by Celebi. As for the Iron-Masked Marauder, he falls through the trees, eventually reaching the ground, losing his helmet, and having to face the wrath of the Arborville citizens and several Bug-type Pokémon. He goes to send out his Scizor and Sneasel, but the Dark Balls are missing, and then all of the Bug types use String Shot to tie him up.

"So what should we do to him?" Reisa asks Lillie.

"Of course we're going to take him back to the International Police with the other Team Rocket members."

Back at the lake, Eusine says, "Go ahead, Ash. Since I met you in the Burned Tower at Ecruteak City, I've sort of known that Suicune would choose you. Take a look at it! Suicune is waiting for you!"

"Are you sure about that?" I ask and then I walk towards Suicune, who says, "Yes, I'm ready to come with you." Then she decided to give us its custom Pokeball.

Suicune: The Aurora Pokemon: Water Type. This divine Pokémon blows around the world, always in search of a pure reservoir.

Then the past Celebi decides to return Sam back to 40 years ago. As we say goodbye, we agree that we will see each other again one day. Celebi and Sam then disappear as they travel through time and those who remain in the present are saddened by Sam and Celebi's departure, except for us.

"What a day. To think we met Professor Oak who was 40 years younger." I say.

"Wait, you mean he's Professor Oak?" Ethan asks. "How do you know it?"

"Insey did show me that picture when she was helping Tracy with the lab duties. And now I think everything makes sense." I say.

"Ash... You two are truly amazing... I have no regrets... Farewell, Suicune!"

Then he leaves, and we all bid farewell to him, then we decide to leave the village and head to Whirl Islands for the next Elite four battle.
