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

“Celebi, we didn’t subdue you, but rather Celebi from the past… Believe me, this won’t affect you!”

Ash tried his best to explain, and Blue's Celebi also chimed in, saying that it was he who had been captured... but the modern Celebi wouldn't listen to a word he said.

As it shrieked and cursed, it continuously radiated power outwards, churning the surrounding space into chaos.

"Brother, what's wrong with it?" Lila understood a bit of Celebi's scream and asked, puzzled, "Why did it say, 'You're not Ash...'?"

"I…"

"Bet!! There was no time for Ash to explain. Celebi suddenly unleashed its full power, sweeping all the broken trees and vegetation around itself and quickly turning them into a giant grass-colored sphere."

Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

The modern Celebi looks exactly like the one in the original story!

The difference is that it wasn't controlled by Bishas; it used this power on its own!

"Whoa!" Suicune, who was standing to the side, sensed something was wrong and immediately jumped out to try to stop it...

"Suicune, no!" Ash tried to stop him, but it was too late.

Bang!

The grass ball instantly transformed into a giant monster with wings on its back. With a single turn, it knocked Suicune to the ground with its wings.

Then it opened its huge mouth and directed the power it had been accumulating at Ash and the others!

"Alakazam, Mewtwo, Latias!"

Ash was shocked to see this and immediately coordinated his three Psychic-type Pokémon to exert their power. During this time, he even achieved Mega Evolution with Alakazam, which completely suppressed the Grass Giant that Celebi had gathered!

"Pikachu, Kitty, you guys go too!" "Butterfly, Metagross, Hippowdon!" "Starmie, go help!"

Following closely behind Ash, Blue, Lyra, and Misty also acted simultaneously, using their psychic-powered Pokémon to suppress the enemy.

Xiao Gang and Cai Dou are protecting Xue Cheng, ready to provide support at any time.

The situation quickly stabilized, and Xiaozhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Their group now possesses far greater power than in the original story, and suppressing the modern Celebi would not be a problem.

The problem is that Celebi refuses to give up and continues to struggle.

The countless time ripples that were originally scattered on the periphery gradually connected to form an inverted light curtain...

"What is that?" Xuecheng frowned in confusion.

"Don't go near it!" Ash warned hurriedly. "That place has created a spacetime distortion. If you make contact rashly, you might be swept into an unknown spacetime and never be able to come back!"

This is what the management spirit told him: the power of the modern Celebi is completely out of control and must be stopped immediately!

"Unknown Totem, is that alright?" Ash tried to ask Unknown Totem for help, but the little guy shook his head helplessly.

Given its current state, Celebi is simply unable to open the other's heart, let alone bring Ash into the other's inner world.

Moreover, even if it succeeds, it probably won't be effective.

This trick worked on the Celebi in the past because it was willing to talk to Ash; but this out-of-control Celebi completely disapproves of Ash... It doesn't even acknowledge that Ash is Ash!

In this situation, nothing Xiaozhi says will make a difference.

"Damn it... I don't want to drag this out any longer!" A fierce glint flashed in Mewtwo's eyes, and a Shadow Ball had already formed in his hand.

Winning this battle is simple; all we need to do is defeat the crazed Celebi, which Mewtwo can easily do with its power.

"Mewtwo, no!" Ash immediately stopped it. "It's not time to attack yet. I want to persuade it again."

"Do you think it can listen to anything?" Mewtwo glanced at Ash.

We should at least tell it our thoughts!

The modern Celebi is actually innocent. It neither intentionally caused widespread destruction nor harmed any other innocent creatures. It was simply influenced by a psychological suggestion that it believed Ash and the others had captured it, and it couldn't accept this, which is why it attacked.

If possible, Ash really doesn't want to hurt it.

No matter what, it was Ho-Oh who deceived it first...

"Celebi, please calm down!" Ash tried his best to persuade him. "No one here wants to hurt you, please stop!"

"Yeah... Celebi, please stop doing this."

Snow City joined in the persuasion, and his words seemed to make Celebi pause for a moment, but soon an even more violent tremor ensued.

It was absolutely certain that it was the one that had been captured, and that Ash was not Ash at all... not its friend from forty years ago!

That boy named Ash, his friend, should be...

hum!

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a sudden fluctuation occurred in the spacetime distortion, and then three figures abruptly appeared on the open ground.

The boy, wearing the initial hat, a blue jacket, and casual pants, has Pikachu perched on his shoulder;

An orange-haired girl with a single braid on one side, holding an adorable Togepi in her arms;

And a slightly older boy with squinty eyes, wearing a green vest…

"They..." "Why?"

Upon seeing the three of them, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang both froze on the spot!

Ash was also completely astonished.

They are... the original inspiration, the original trio!

Chapter 521 An Encounter in Time and Space: I Believe in You, Reaching the Top of the World!

"Strange, we're still in the forest, right? But why does it feel completely different?"

Ash looked around and realized that he was still in Celebi Forest, but the surrounding environment was chaotic and complicated, and there was no trace of the previous tranquility.

Soon, he discovered a scene that filled him with righteous indignation and immediately ran forward to try to stop it!

"Is that Celebi in there? What happened to it?" he demanded sharply. "Are you all bullying Celebi?!"

"Nobody here wants to bully it!" Xiao Zhi explained urgently. "It's out of control, and we're trying to stop it from destroying the forest!"

"That's right, we're really not bad people!" Yukishiro immediately stepped forward to defend them, which only left the original author, Tomoya, completely bewildered.

"Snow City, what are you doing here?"

"You know me?" Xuecheng was taken aback.

"We were just together, having a great time, and then you and Celebi disappeared," Ash complained. "We searched for ages, and here you are, with..."

"Uh, who are you?" Ash paused for a moment before asking Ash.

"I am..." Ash twitched his lips speechlessly, he really didn't know how to answer this question.

Is it reasonable that Ash Ketchum in the original work doesn't recognize himself?

"Honestly, that person is clearly yourself, just wearing a red dress." Xia Jie, the author of the original work, shrugged helplessly. "But speaking of which, is it because of the clothes? Why is there such a big difference in their temperaments... The one in the back is obviously more mature."

"It's probably a difference in physique," Uncle Gang from the original work tried to analyze. "That Ash in the red shirt is very tall, almost the same height as me, and also much more muscular, which is why there's such a big difference. But... I don't think I'm that much different, am I?"

He turned to Xiaogang and waved as a greeting... but the latter's reaction was rather indifferent.

"I can't say for sure about this kind of thing." Compared to usual, Xiao Gang seemed much more serious. He just gave a curt reply and then said nothing more.

Xiaoxia's situation was similar. In the original story, Sister Xia really wanted to chat with her, but she just kept saying "I don't know," which made the other person feel awkward for a while.

"So what exactly happened here?" Ash asked anxiously. "How can we make Celebi stop?"

"Hmm?" Ash suddenly sensed something.

He discovered that when Ash Ketchum mentioned Celebi in the original work, the power of the modern Celebi would show a noticeable gap, as if it were actively restraining itself.

"Give it a try, Ash..."

"Hey, don't call me that!" The original author, Ash, was so surprised that he waved his hands repeatedly.

"Okay, Ash, could you try to persuade Celebi? It's your friend, right?"

“I’ll try to persuade him… Okay, I’ll definitely make it stop!” Ah Chi didn’t hesitate at all when it came to stepping forward.

He immediately ran to the Grass Giant, opened his arms, and shouted loudly, "Celebi, it's me, Ash! Stop it! Don't let this continue, the forest is about to be destroyed!!"

"Compared to..." The Grass Giant's movements completely ceased at the first moment of the battle!

Modern Celebi peered through the crack, its gaze fixed entirely on Ash.

It murmured Ash's name, and although it only paused for a very short time, it did give Ash hope!

"Please, keep persuading it!" He hurriedly urged Ash to increase his persuasion efforts, and Ash naturally did his best, recounting the entire process from meeting Celebi to its disappearance!

This familiar plot from the original story seemed to strike the heart of the modern Celebi, making its movements even more sluggish.

"Almost there... It seems that Ash's strength alone isn't enough." Ash's eyes darted around, and he quickly figured out the key point.

It now appears that the modern Celebi also experienced the original movie 40 years ago, and what it saw was clearly the original Ash Ketchum in front of it!

Following this line of thought, if Ash could persuade it in the original story, its other friends should be able to as well.

But Ash's strength wasn't enough, and Snow City wasn't effective, so... we need to ask someone else to step in!

"Mewtwo, go back to Pallet Town right now and bring the professor here!" Ash made a quick decision and immediately decided to have Mewtwo teleport long distances to pick up the professor.
