Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master...

"The Lake of Life in the maple forest, which is the habitat of our childhood rhyme, can heal all life through the power of the ghusbah."

Grandma Miku handed the notebook to Yukinari as she recounted the ancient legends.

"Is this something you dropped?"

Upon seeing her own sketchbook, Xuecheng immediately opened it.

Although it has inevitably become worn after forty years, it has been carefully preserved.

Xuecheng was still pleased to see that the drawing he had left on it was still clearly visible.

Everyone crowded around to look, and there were sketches of Pokémon drawn very well, very lifelike and vivid.

"It's drawn so well."

Xiao Zhi, who is terrible at drawing, said he envies those who are good at drawing, because his own drawings are like dog poop.

"Thank you for the compliment. This is actually my Pokédex to record the Pokémon I've encountered."

At that moment, Ash suddenly received a message from James, and after reading it carefully, he immediately frowned.

"Oh no, we probably need to go back to the forest to find Silavi immediately."

"I've received information that the Rockets have infiltrated the maple forest and begun a thorough search. Their goal is to capture Celebi!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Celebi's Great Rescue": Find Celebi before Team Rocket and heal it.]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +3000; Speed ​​+1; Defense +1; Free Attribute Points +2]

"What? The Rockets!"

Everyone except Xuecheng immediately tensed up.

"Team Rocket...are they rocket builders? Why are they capturing Celebi?"

I almost forgot there were people here from forty years ago.

"No, they are an evil organization that illegally steals Pokémon; they are vicious criminals."

Upon hearing Ash mention the evil organization, Yukinari finally realized something was wrong.

"Then we need to hurry and rescue Shirabi, and given its injuries, it needs to receive treatment as soon as possible."

He immediately regained his fighting spirit after the anxiety of traveling through time and space, and ran into the maple forest with Ash and the others.

However, the core area of ​​the maple forest is also surprisingly large.

Even if Ash uses his full power of waveguide perception, he can search a radius of 3 kilometers in a short time.

However, finding even a small Pokémon here is extremely difficult; you can only search while moving around.

"We have to find them before Team Rocket." Ash only needed to sense them briefly to discover at least four Team Rocket-piloted robots.

Unfortunately, there are too many Team Rocket members. Getting rid of a batch of them will definitely attract Team Rocket members from other places. They need to hurry up and find Celebi to treat it.

Otherwise, given Xiaozhi's personality, he would definitely crush these lumps of iron into scrap metal first.

For now, the only option is to temporarily evade Team Rocket's detection using Ash's Aura Sense, without alerting them.

Suddenly, as they passed a grove of trees, Pikachu seemed to have noticed something and jumped off Ash's shoulder.

"What's wrong, Pikachu?"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu wagged its tail, signaling Ash and the others to follow it.

Ash recalls Noctowl, which was searching for Celebi in the sky, and chooses to trust Pikachu.

The group followed it at a jog and finally stopped in front of a fallen tree trunk.

There was a hole in the huge tree trunk, and many Pokémon were gathered around the entrance, anxiously looking into the hole.

It's like they're protecting this place.

Chapter 226 As long as it's against Team Rocket, Mewtwo will behave itself!

The Pokémon that had been surrounding them immediately became alert upon noticing Ash and his friends' arrival.

But after Pikachu went up and exchanged a few words with them, it immediately put away its hostility and made way for them.

“The shrine should be up there.”

"Okay, let's go up!"

After looking around, Ash jumped up onto a nearby tree trunk.

Xuecheng, on the other hand, used both hands to grab the vines and climbed towards the cave entrance, and surprisingly, he was quite fast.

At a height of ten meters, the two of them quickly reached the vicinity of the cave entrance.

Are they both Superman?

"Xiao Zhi is one thing, but how come Xue Cheng is so strong too?" Xiao Xia was dumbfounded.

Even Xiao Zhi was surprised. Could this person also be a body cultivator?

"Xuecheng, you have a great physique too."

Why is this being said so strangely? Xuecheng felt a chill run down his spine.

Suddenly, a noise came from inside the cave. The two quickly and cautiously approached the cave entrance, and sure enough, it was Silavi inside.

The little green sprite weakly opened its eyes and was immediately frightened when it saw humans approaching.

He immediately manipulated the surrounding saplings to whip Xiaozhi and Xuecheng.

“It is I, the shrine brigade.”

The rabbi was too weak to recognize Xuecheng, so the vine whip made of saplings continued to lash out.

It's a pity it's not a queen-type Pokémon, otherwise Ash might have chosen to enjoy it a little longer, but now he can't and has to take action.

“We are not those poachers, don’t be afraid.”

"You are very weak and need treatment." Ash stepped over the vines.

Gently lifting Celebi out of the tree hole, and sensing the kindness emanating from Ash, Celebi finally stopped attacking and slowly closed its eyes.

Ash hoisted Xuecheng onto his back, held Celebi in his arms, and jumped down to join Misty and the others amidst the boy's exclamations.

Before Celebi could fall asleep completely, Ash quickly fed it a healing potion.

But to no avail; this was the first time Ash had encountered such a situation.

"No, the medicine is completely useless. Who knows if the injury Rabbi is suffering in the physical sense?"

"What do we do now?" Xuecheng looked at Shirabi with a worried expression.

"If the healing potion didn't work, it means that taking it to the Pokémon Center might not be effective either."

At that moment, Pear Blossom, who had a good memory, suddenly remembered.

"Didn't Grandma Miku say that, according to legend, the guardian spirit of the forest can receive healing and blessings at the Lake of Life?"

"Let's head over to the Lake of Life right away."

Suddenly, a loud whooshing sound came from the air.

"Oh no, everyone get down!" Ash quickly reached out and shielded the people around him with his body.

A robotic arm swept swiftly overhead, snapping up all the precious trees that had grown naturally for hundreds of years.

A mechanical spider suddenly appeared from among the trees, barging into Ash and his friends' path. Team Rocket had arrived at that very moment.

There were two young men dressed in Team Rocket uniforms on the machine.

One of the Team Rocket members, who was wearing what looked like an infrared detector, burst out laughing when he saw Celebi in Ash's arms.

"Hahaha, quickly report to Lord Bishas that we have finally spotted our target!"

After several days and nights of relentless, exhaustive searching, they finally found the rabbi.

"Who are those guys holding the shrine?"

"Don't worry about it. Anyone who dares to block the Rockets from doing things will be crushed into dust."

He and his partner exchanged a glance and immediately pressed the attack button on the machine.

The two mechanical arms quickly reached out to grab Silavi again.

Then suddenly, a strong and powerful hand grabbed him, preventing him from moving an inch.

"Sorry, I only accept older women running over me!"

"what!"

The Rockets' latest high-tech robotic arm can actually be grabbed by a human's bare hands.

The Rockets' number one player immediately thought that he must be hallucinating because he hadn't slept well these past few nights.

"You guys better get out of here right now!" Ash grabbed the mechanical arm, ripped it off, and threw it back at the robotic spider.

In Ash's hands, the mechanical claw was like a cannonball, instantly smashing the robotic spider into an explosion.

The Team Rocket members in the cockpit frantically pressed the buttons on the control panel, but by then Ash had already smashed the robot spider's power system.

"Are you kidding me? This is still human!"

"This is terrifying! What should we do? Should we run?"

As a lowly soldier, you must abide by the basic principle of "collapse, retreat, buy, and run"!

Unfortunately, his companion immediately refused, saying, "No, if we go back like this, Lord Bishas will kill us too."

Thinking about how terrifying that person was, they decided they would at least put up a fight.

Since the machine was useless, they threw out all the black Poké Balls they had on them.

"Go! Seize the shrine brigade!"

Accompanied by a black light, several Pokémon appeared in front of Ash.

"Sneasel, Derubi, Murkrow, Sableye."

"They're all Dark-type Pokémon."
