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

"If you want to know more, you'll have to come and 'shine my shoes' first!" (Carlos accent)

"Okay, I'll do it!" Xiao Sheng immediately went to massage Babaozhou's legs.

Then Eight Treasure Porridge was punished by Ash.

Bang bang bang, the iron fist of love struck, and Eight Treasure Porridge's personality was corrected.

"Stop trying to fool me, go water the tree!"

"Hmph, you brat, how dare you bully me like this! You'll get your comeuppance..."

"Ok?"

"No, no, I'd be happy to serve you, Boss!"

After the Miracle Seed is formed, it will be the giant tree's final dance. If Suicune doesn't hurry to keep it alive, the giant tree will soon be unable to bear its own weight and break in half.

At this moment, Treekia was still holding the Miracle Seed in its hand, remaining silent for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.

Ash suddenly patted Treecko's lonely back.

"Greek, if I can bring this tree back to life, would you come with me?"

"Really?"

Hope sparked by Ash's words, Treecko abandoned its aloof demeanor, immediately widening its watery eyes and jumping to his side.

"I will try my best!"

Although the giant tree was struck by lightning and turned into charcoal, and had reached the end of its life, Ash still had a way to try.

The life-giving waveguide within the giant tree is extremely weak, almost dissipating, and it may collapse completely before dawn.

The life energy required to revive such a towering tree that can nurture an entire forest is naturally terrifying.

However, Ash himself possesses a vast amount of Aura power, and he also has a Pokémon that can absolutely help the tree regain its vitality.

That Pokémon was none other than Celebi, the forest god!

Without wasting any time, Ash immediately took out the GS Ball, held it high above his head, and slowly opened it.

A surge of life energy burst forth from it, and the shrine came across time and space.

"Bet~~!"

As soon as the little green sprite appeared, it happily circled around Ash, affectionately nuzzling his cheek before flying off to greet Pikachu and Suicune.

"Pikachu, Pikachu!" (Celebi, long time no see!)

"Hey, the Flying Green Garlic is back again."

"Compare!"

"Ah, you stinking green fly, you dare to use your telekinesis to tie my precious mane and tail together again!"

"This morning the brat messed it up, and I finally managed to clean it up again. Ugh!"

Seeing Babaozhou making a fool of itself by jumping around because of its cheeky behavior, the little ones burst into laughter. This could be considered a unique way for Babaozhou and Celebi to greet each other.

"What adorable Pokémon!" May and Max also came to Ash's side at this moment.

They looked at the newly appeared shrine with great curiosity.

"Ash, what kind of Pokémon is this?"

“The legendary shurabi, who is revered as the god of the forest, is my important partner.”

"Compare!"

Celebi immediately landed on Ash's shoulder, striking a cute pose that said, "I'm awesome, aren't I?"

"It's the legendary Pokémon Celebi!"

Xiao Sheng's eyes lit up again.

Unlike the Water Elemental, which is famous in various regions, the Celebi is not something that many people can actually see in person because of its protection period and forest responsibilities.

So although the legend is famous, its appearance is not as widely known as Suicune's, which is why Haruka and the others were unable to recognize it immediately.

"Wow, Ash, you're amazing to be friends with so many rare Pokémon."

This is exactly the person Xiaosheng dreams of being, and his admiration for Xiaozhi has increased by another ten percentage points.

"Work hard in your training, and you can do it too!"

"Probably..." (in a low voice)

Ash patted Max's head to encourage him, and then led Celebi to the giant tree.

Having spent so much time with Ash in the Johto region, Celebi's injuries sustained due to Team Rocket have naturally been fully healed.

After recovering, it went to travel through time with the other young rabbis, happily wandering through various forests, fulfilling its duties as the forest god and guardian of time.

Of course, this doesn't count as Ash releasing Celebi, since the connection between Celebi and the Poké Ball is still intact.

It's just that Celebi is kind-hearted, loves peace, and doesn't like fighting, so Ash usually lets it do what it likes.

Ash will only summon Celebi when he needs its help.

Incidentally, Latios has also woken up with the help of Ash and Celebi, but its body has not yet recovered to the point where it can fight.

So Ash is temporarily keeping Latias at Professor Oak's lab to rest, and Latias is also there with its brother.

(Professor Oak covered all the expenses, and Ash loves Professor Oak to death!)

However, Professor Oak mentioned that occasionally Chikorita and Latias would insist on coming to keep Ash company, causing quite a bit of trouble in the backyard.

When the time is right, Ash will bring them along on their journey, but right now, saving the giant tree is the priority.

"Celebi, I want to save this giant tree for the sake of the Treeckoes. Can you lend me a hand?"

"Compare!"

Under the tense gaze of the rascal gecko, Celebi first flew around the big tree once.

Then, green energy surged from its entire body, and it used its small hands to send light waves to the roots of the giant tree.

At this moment, Ash also placed his hand on Celebi's back, transferring his Aura power to it.

A green halo spread outwards from the shrine with the shrine at its center, illuminating the entire night sky and creating a breathtaking scene.

The giant tree, which had been withered, was forcibly infused with a vigorous life force and miraculously began to regain its green vitality.

Wow, what a beautiful scene!

At this moment, not only May and her friends, but also the Treecko clan that had left earlier were attracted by the dazzling green light and came to the vicinity of the giant pit.

Although Elder Treekia and the Rogue Treekia had a quarrel, it was actually because they were really worried about the Rogue Treekia's health.

Even bringing Ash here was a way to take the Treecko away.

So even after they left, they stayed around the giant tree and didn't go too far away from the Gecko.

Upon discovering the strange change in the giant tree, they immediately surrounded it.

At this moment, all the geckos stared in disbelief as the giant tree they once lived in gradually regained its vitality, and the giant lizards' big, watery eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.

When they were forced to leave this giant tree, the other Treekia were also very reluctant, but Treekia must live on a healthy tree, so they had no choice but to leave.

"Kimo!" (You're back!)

"Chirp, chirp!" (Our most important home is back!)

……

The giant tree was so large that the transfer of life energy continued for quite a while, until Celebi finally landed on Ash's shoulder, panting heavily.

At this point, Ash's Aura power had already been reduced to 90%, but the effect was still remarkable.

The once charred and bare tree is now radiating a green glow, and leaves are sprouting from its branches one by one.

The huge crack caused by the lightning strike healed at that moment, and the desolate crater was suddenly revitalized.

"Chirp!" The rascal Treecko was the most excited of all the Treeckos.

It touched the newly grown leaves on the giant tree branch, in disbelief.

But it was all real; the giant tree really came back to life.

At this moment, the other Treeckoes immediately surrounded it and Ash, and began to celebrate joyfully.

But soon after, Treecko spoke to the elder and then walked firmly to Ash.

It casually picked up a fallen branch and held it in its mouth, while its big tail gently tapped Ash's leg.

According to the agreement between true men, it came and went with Ash.

"Jimo".

"Looks like you'll be a very unique partner. I'll be looking forward to working with you from now on, Treecko." Ash took out a Poké Ball and pressed it onto Treecko's head.

This time, there was no struggle whatsoever; the Poké Ball captured it with a thud.
