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

Chapter 359 The Seed of Miracles

May was shocked to see that Ash actually intended to catch this Treecko.

"But Treecko refuses to leave to protect the giant tree, Ash, what are you going to do?"

"Hmm————" Ash pondered and raised his hand, a blue light instantly shining from his palm.

He sensed the waveguide energy emanating from the tree and an idea immediately formed in his mind.

"Haruka, let's set up camp in this big pit tonight and keep the tree spirit company for the night."

Although she didn't understand what Ash wanted to do, May could only agree since he had already said so.

That night, all the other Treeckoes had already left, but the roguish Treecko remained perched high up in the tree.

It glanced at the moon in the sky and then at the giant tree beneath it, revealing a rare tenderness in its eyes.

Treecko nimbly jumped down from the tree and unexpectedly discovered Ash and his friends camping at the bottom of the tree.

Then it pretended not to see it, turned around and went deep into the forest to bring back a large pile of leaves, which it carefully piled up at the base of the tree.

The gecko is using this method to protect this giant tree that has almost lost its vitality, providing it with nutrients, hoping that it will one day regain its vitality.

Just then, the tree-shaped gecko seemed to hear a sound and immediately turned its head.

It turned out to be Ash and Pikachu, who were also carrying a pile of leaves as they approached it.

Without saying much, Ash simply followed the example of Treecko and piled leaves at the base of the tree.

Treecko stared at Ash for a moment, then picked up the branch again and continued tidying up the pile of leaves at the base of the tree.

[Ding! Wood Gecko: Affection +2]

At this moment, Ash suddenly spoke up: "Treetle, you love this big tree that gave you birth, don't you?"

"————, Jimo." It nodded coolly.

"Yes, after all, it's the place that holds all my memories from childhood to adulthood, just like a mother, it's hard to part with."

"But it has almost no life left, and it will only wither away more and more each day. What you are doing now is actually a waste of time."

"Squeak, squeak!"

Perhaps stimulated by the cruel truth revealed by Ash, Treecko suddenly became agitated.

But then Ash took Treecko's hand and used Aura to connect it to the giant tree.

Gradually, the tree spirit saw a series of memories.

A seed fell from the sky and landed on this once barren land.

This seed took root, sprouted, and eventually grew into a towering tree. Then it blossomed, bore fruit, and dropped its seeds.

Having gone through the cycle of spring, summer, autumn and winter, it has nurtured the entire forest.

Countless lives were born from it and departed from it, and eventually even it came to the end of its life due to an accident.

At the same time, the tree spirit saw its own reflection, that small figure that stubbornly and clumsily tried day after day to save the giant tree that had completely withered away.

"Tree gecko, the tree's life has faded, but this is its last expression of affection for you. The giant tree is also thanking you for protecting it all this time."

"Chima—"

Not only is Treecko protecting the giant tree, but the giant tree is also worried about Treecko, which is why it responded to Ash's call.

At that moment, a glowing seed suddenly fell from the giant tree, which had been completely bare, and landed in the hand of the tree spirit.

Upon seeing the seed, Xiao Sheng suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"That's the Miracle Seed!"

"What is it?"

"Ben-E-nee, it's that legendary magical item that, when given to a Pokémon, increases the power of its Grass-type moves."

"It's extremely rare, and no one knows how to obtain it. It turns out it was born from this kind of giant tree."

"Hmph, humans are so ignorant. I already knew this."

"Really? Then can you tell me about the other ways these amazing items are created, great Suicune-sama!"

Shojin, who usually loves watching Pokémon battles, was naturally extremely curious about this kind of thing.

If he could get more information out of Suicune, wouldn't he be able to rewrite the history of Pokémon battles?

But in reality, Eight Treasure Porridge knows nothing; it's just pretending to be cool.

"Well, that depends on how you perform, kid."

Mingming's heart nearly skipped a beat when Xiaosheng asked it other questions, but it still managed to get away with it by using its thick skin.

"If you want to know more, you'll have to polish my shoes first!" (Carlos's accent)

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

Then Eight Treasure Porridge was punished by Ash.

Bang Bang Review: With a vengeance, 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!"

"Um?"

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

After the Miracle Seeds are 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, the 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.

"Gypsy, 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, struck by lightning and reduced to charcoal, was nearing 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 emanated from it, and the shrine came across time and space.

"Compare!"

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!"

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

"This morning the brat messed everything up, and I finally managed to clean it all 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 an important companion of mine."

"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—" (whispering)

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 roaming 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 there.

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 just as reluctant, but Treekia need to live on healthy big trees, so they had no choice but to leave.

"Kima!" (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 moment, Ash's Aura Power had been depleted by 90%, but the effect was still pleasing. The once charred and bare tree was now radiating green light, and leaves were growing back on its branches.

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

"Chirp!" The roguish Treekia was the most excited of all the Treekia.

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 the sassy 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 look forward to working with you from now on, Treecko." Ash took out a Poké Ball and pressed it on Treecko's head.

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