"You should listen to Professor Oak and Tracey and train well," Gary said during the video call.
On the other side of the video were Gary's Pokémon.
Because he had to go to the Celebi Forest, Gary had no time to supervise his Pokémon training, so he had to arrange the training plan and let Tracey help supervise.
Tracey is now Professor Oak's assistant, and all the Pokémon in the Laboratory are taken care of by him.
Gary brought a few powerful Pokémon with him, namely Blastoise, Tyranitar, Zapdos, Charizard, Scizor, and Gyarados.
The Iron-Masked Marauder didn't have many Pokémon, only three in total, namely Tyranitar, Sneasel, and Scizor.
The levels of these three Pokémon were not high, but because of the Dusk Ball, the power of the three Pokémon could be increased to the limit, which means that the strength of Pokémon with Elite potential would be directly raised to the Elite level.
Celebi is so terrifying, naturally, because its potential is high enough; otherwise, the Dusk Ball can't increase the strength of Pokémon to such a terrifying extent.
From the plot, Celebi's strength is at least legendary potential. Only legendary Pokémon can draw the power of the surrounding energy for their own use.
As the guardian of the forest, Celebi has legendary strength and can definitely use the energy of plants and trees at will.
The strength shown by Sneasel and Scizor is normal, and it is estimated that it is only the potential of the gym. The key is that the Tyranitar is very strong and can compete with Suicune.
It can be confirmed that the Tyranitar snatched by the Iron-Masked Marauder has the potential of at least the champion level.
Gary has seen Entei and Raikou; they are both level 80, and Suicune is naturally level 80. If Tyranitar does not have the potential of a champion, it is impossible to fight Suicune.
Gary has experienced the power of champion-level Pokémon, so he will not be careless again. He must carry the strongest Pokémon with him. If he can't beat them in a single fight, then he will fight them in a group.
After getting ready, Gary rode Charizard to the Forest of Celebi.
The Forest of Celebi is not far from Mt. Silver. After flying for a distance, Gary arrived at a small town outside the Forest of Celebi.
The town is built next to a river. Going up the river, you can enter the Forest of Celebi. The people of Arborville Village will bring the resources in the forest to the town for sale.
Gary originally planned to find the people of Arborville Village and wanted to visit the village, but he found out after he arrived.
Because Arborville Village is in the Forest of Celebi, the quality of the fruit produced there is very high. Every time the fruit is transported to sell, it is sold out. Basically, it is sold out before noon, and then the people of Arborville Village will go back.
The key is that the people of Arborville Village only come once a week. They just came this morning, and they left long ago.
"I don't know if Ash and the others have arrived," Gary looked in the direction of Celebi Forest and decided to go directly to the forest to guard.
Gary turned on his phone and looked at the electronic map to determine the route to the forest first, but a voice came from behind.
"Hey, are you a Trainer?"
Gary turned around in confusion and saw a fat boy wearing a blue vest, a yellow shirt inside, and shorts.
"Do you want to challenge me?" Gary asked.
If you can ask yourself if you are a Trainer, then you must challenge yourself. After becoming a Trainer, Gary has encountered such Trainers on the road.
And the Trainers who take the initiative to challenge are not strong in normal strength, and there is no point in fighting with them. If Gary has a baby Pokémon, he can fight them once.
"Yes, I think you look like a Trainer. I am very strong. Do you want to have a fight?" said the fat boy in shorts.
Gary looked at the fat guy in shorts carefully and confirmed that he didn't know him, so he declined politely: "Sorry, I have something else to do, so I don't have time to fight with you for the time being."
"What do you want?"
Seeing that he was rejected by Gary, the fat guy in shorts was very unhappy.
Gary was very troubled.
Although the other party's words were beyond the rules, he looked like a child, so Gary couldn't say anything. "I'm going to Arborville Village later," Gary said.
"What? Another one going to Arborville Village," the fat guy in shorts complained.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional.
Gary was stunned for a moment and said: "Why? Have you fought against the Trainer in Arborville Village?"
"That's not the case. It's just a Trainer who is going to Arborville Village. I fought him yesterday," the fat boy in shorts said.
"Is it a boy with Pikachu?" Gary asked.
"How do you know?"
The fat boy in shorts was surprised; he didn't tell the information of the trainer.
Gary can be sure that it is Ash. Apart from Ash, few trainers will travel with Pikachu.
But it seems that the situation is not good.
Gary remembered that in the original plot, after Ash met Celebi and Samuel, he lived in the Celebi Forest for one night. The next day when he went to the shrine, Celebi was caught by the Iron-Masked Marauder.
Calculating the time, it is about this time.
"Charizard, there is no time to rest, fly directly to the Celebi Forest," Gary immediately released Charizard and jumped on Charizard's back.
"Roar!!"
Charizard spread his wings and flew high, taking Gary with him to the direction of the Forest of Time.
"Wow, there's Charizard. Luckily we didn't fight, or we would have lost." Seeing Gary going away, the fat man in shorts was also amazed at his courage. He dared to challenge a Trainer with Charizard. He was really asking for trouble.
Soaring in the sky.
Gary had a serious face. He originally thought that he would arrive early, but he was still late. It was almost noon, and Ash and the others had already arrived near the shrine.
"Charizard, speed up!" Gary said.
"Roar!!"
Although Charizard didn't know what happened, he heard Gary's serious tone, which was obviously very important, and flew harder.
After half an hour, they finally arrived in the Celebi Forest. From a distance, they saw a forest giant made of grass and wood residues. The appearance of the giant was mainly based on the appearance of Celebi itself, but it was slightly abstract.
"I didn't catch up..." Gary pouted. He was still a step late, letting the Iron-Masked Marauder succeed, so he had to take action.
"Charizard, fly over there!" Gary pointed at the Grass Giant and said.
With a target in mind, Charizard accelerated and flew over.
Soon he saw the Grass Giant's specific appearance.
The entire Grass Giant was 23 meters long, like a Gigantamax Pokémon.
The Iron-Masked Marauder was standing on the Grass Giant's right hand, looking down at everything around him, with a posture that he would reach the top of the world.
