Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

"Xiao Zhi, are you alright?" Xiao Xia asked anxiously when she saw Xiao Zhi return.

"Tyranitar's condition isn't good, and... this little guy smashed the bag." Ash said, holding up the still confused Unown. "We need to find a place to settle down; there are too many sick people right now."

“We definitely need to stabilize things quickly; everyone needs to rest,” Xiao Gang immediately agreed.

He was responsible for treating three Pokémon, including Tyranitar, that were being controlled by Vishnu, and their problems clearly needed to be addressed.

Furthermore, Celebi is also in a state of depletion of power, making it unsuitable for any further setbacks.

"If we need to recuperate, we can go find the Lake of Life!" Xuecheng suddenly suggested. "I heard from the people of Guoye Village that it's in the forest, and that any injury can be healed by soaking in its waters!"

"Lake of Life... Okay, let's go then." Ash hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

He didn't really agree with going there, since Suicune was already at the Lake of Life, and there was also another Celebi.

When these two forest gods meet, who knows what might happen?

However, their Celebi was very satisfied with the proposal, and kept happily nodding and twirling around.

In the end, even Blue, who wanted to win it over, had to vote in favor, and Ash had no choice but to agree to set off.

Just then, a wisp of mist drifted by at just the right moment—a signal that Suicune was requesting to meet him!

Since things have come to this, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

Ash secretly made up his mind that if the two Celebi met and something really happened, they would take action immediately!

At least one must be captured...

(Ash...) Seeing the cold glint in Ash's eyes, Blue knew that he had made his decision.

But as the person directly involved, I suddenly began to hesitate…

Chapter 514 An Encounter Across Time and Space: The Modern Celebi Who Ran Away Before the Time Was Up?

After tying up Bishas, ​​the prisoner, and taking along the injured and unconscious Tyranitar and other Pokémon, the group began to travel through the forest amidst the mist.

With Suicune's Aura guiding them along the way, Ash quickly led everyone to their destination.

"Is this the Lake of Life?" "How beautiful!"

The Lake of Life is a clear lake surrounded by dense forests. When the mist that had enveloped them dissipated, the lush and verdant scenery left everyone in awe.

The light blue Pokémon standing quietly on the lake's surface was even more incredible to Snow City.

That's just...

"It's Suicune, a legendary Pokémon that can purify all polluted water sources, and it's also the embodiment of the North Wind," Ash explained, while his mind raced.

He had been monitoring the waveguides here since the beginning, but when he was about to arrive, he found that one of the waveguides was missing.

And indeed, only Suicune remained here; the modern Celebi was nowhere to be found!

"But why is it here, and why is it..." After hearing Xiaozhi's explanation, Xuecheng was even more confused.

He seemed to have just seen Suicune bowing to Ash!

"Bi?" Celebi curiously stepped forward and circled around Suicune.

Suicune stared at the latter, but soon revealed a puzzled expression.

(Hero, what's the deal with this Celebi? How did you encounter it?) It asked, looking bewildered.

(It's a long story... First, tell me what's going on here. Where is the Celebi I'm supposed to protect?) Ash secretly asked using Aura.

(I don't know either...) Suicune shook her head in confusion. (It had been with me the whole time, but it suddenly flew away just now. I thought it was going to greet you...)

So, Suicune had been imagining Ash returning with Celebi, and everyone enjoying themselves together.

The scene turned out to be correct, but Celebi messed it up!

(Oh, I see... Then could you please go look for it? It's quite dangerous for it to wander around in the woods. We just caught a poacher.)

The benefits don't have to expire. Ash's title of hero might be taken away at any time, so it's best to get Suicune away while we can.

He even suspected that the modern-day Celebi might have sensed something and temporarily fled.

(Understood!) Suijun glanced at Bishas, ​​who was brought over bound hand and foot, and suddenly realized that the hero's words made a lot of sense.

Even if it has no idea where the modern Celebi has gone, it is determined to find it and protect it closely!

After a few leaps, Suicune disappeared into the dense forest, and Ash secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They finally managed to fool them away!

At that moment, he noticed that Xuecheng was looking at him with curiosity.

"Is there a problem?"

"Ash, who exactly are you?" Yukishiro asked tentatively. "Suicune seems to respect you a lot... and that Bishart seems to be afraid of you too..."

"My official position is that of a senior investigator for both the Kanto and Johto alliances, which is equivalent to being the superior of all police officers. As for Suicune, she was just being polite because she happened to have a favor to ask of me."

Ash didn't hide anything from Snow City.

"Wouldn't that be amazing?" Xuecheng exclaimed in surprise. "But it's strange, I'm also from Kanto, how come I've never heard of you before?"

"Because we're not from the same era," Ash explained. "Look at your clothes and the style of your Poké Balls, don't you understand? You're a senior who's been around for decades longer than me."

"Oh...really?" Xuecheng was immediately taken aback.

“If you want to confirm, just go and take a look at the village outside. Everything has changed.” Ash nodded and said, “You came from decades ago with Celebi… We all know you. In this day and age, you are a highly respected senior.”

"Really?" Xuecheng suddenly became curious. "Then... what kind of person am I?"

"One of the world's most authoritative Pokémon researchers, a renowned scholar, and also the champion of the Kanto League... which means he is the strongest trainer in a region," Ash said in detail.

Just as Xuecheng looked on incredulously, Xiaolan suddenly chimed in with a mischievous grin: "She's also a bit of a comedic senryu expert, and often catches Pokémon attacks with her face, and secretly cooks instant noodles in a lab beaker when her assistant isn't around~"

"Ha, the second one sounds much more realistic." Xuecheng burst into laughter.

"Anyway, it's you no matter which side you're on," Ash said with a light laugh. "Alright, let's hurry up and put Celebi and the other Pokémon in the lake, then go set up the tent. If we delay any longer, it'll get dark."

After listening to Ash's words, everyone quickly got to work. The three Pokémon, Tyranitar and the others, were carefully lowered down along the lake, while Celebi frolicked and jumped into the lake, playing happily in it.

hum~

Soon, a burst of new green light shone from the lake, gradually enveloping Celebi's body.

"Bi, Bi!" Feeling her energy rapidly recovering, Celebi was overjoyed.

It flew happily to the shore, used its superpowers to pull over Zhilan and Xuecheng, who were busy at work, and carried them to fly and play on the lake.

It wasn't until it got tired of playing that it put them back on the shore, then sat casually in Little Blue's lap waiting to be fed.

On the way, Xiao Lan fed it some energy cubes suitable for Grass-type Pokémon. Celebi liked the taste very much and would occasionally ask Xiao Lan for some, just like a child asking for candy.

"That's great! Celebi's power has been restored!" Yukijo said happily.

"Tyranitar and the others are alright too!" Good news also came from Xiao Gang's side.

The three Pokémon, Tyranitar and the others, recovered from their injuries, and the Dark Ball's control was also broken.

After regaining consciousness, Sneasel and Scizor decided to leave, while Tyranitar stayed behind, occasionally stealing glances at its offspring…

And that unidentified totem, it also soaked in the lake water for a while, and now it has woken up.

"Peace~"

"I understand. You can come with us for now, and I'll try my best to get you back."

According to G, it was living a carefree life in its own world when a crack suddenly appeared in the space, and it was then thrown out and slapped onto the little bag's face.

Ash didn't know the cause of the strange spatial rift, nor when it would open, so he could only carry the unknown totem with him for the time being.

Anyway, Larvitar doesn't seem to be afraid of contact with it, so let's just consider it a temporary playmate...

"Ash, could you come over here for a second?" Brock called out as he was tending to Tyranitar.

He has basically settled Tyranitar and has also communicated with it using Lyla's abilities. Now it's just a matter of waiting for Ash to make a decision.

"Hello, Banjira."

"Roar!" Upon seeing Ash arrive, Tyranitar immediately shouted urgently, constantly trying to confirm Tyranitar's identity.

“That’s right, it’s your child, and it survived by sheer luck.” Ash nodded. “Lyla should have told you the general situation. I originally planned to take it back to Mt. Silver, but I didn’t expect you to be captured as well.”

"Roar... Roar!!" Tyranitar felt both saddened and furious at the mention of this!

If it weren't for those despicable human poachers, how could it have gotten separated from Lark... and almost hurt its own child just now!

"Calm down first," Ash said softly. "I know you miss your child, but after what happened, Larvitar is not in good condition right now, so let's take it easy for a while."

Seeing the sorrow in Bangira's eyes, he immediately made a promise: "But I promise that I will make sure that you and your son can recognize each other without any barriers!"

"Roar." Hearing Ash say that, Tyranitar could only force itself to wait.

Since we've already met, there's really no rush.

"Xiao Gang, you can take care of Tyranitar for now."

Don't worry~

Ash has to solve the Larvitar problem and keep an eye on Blue's progress in winning over Celebi. Entrusting Tyranitar to Brock's care is undoubtedly the best choice.

Xiao Gang is both a breeder and an expert in rock-type breeding; he is definitely the most reliable person right now.
