"Celebi, what are you doing? Get rid of them quickly," the Iron-Masked Marauder shouted.
However, the Grass Giant did not respond.
"Give up!" Gary ordered, "Scizor, use False Swipe."
"Zha!"
Scizor rushed towards the Iron-Masked Marauder and hit him with its pincers.
"Ah!!"
The Iron-Masked Marauder was unable to resist Scizor at all and was knocked unconscious, falling to the ground instantly.
At the same time, the Grass Giant standing on the Lake of Life also collapsed. Celebi used Confusion to fly back to the shore with Samuel and Ash.
Just after Samuel and Ash landed, Celebi seemed to have overexerted itself and fell from the air. Ash quickly caught Celebi and held it in his arms.
"Celebi, what's wrong with you?" Ash asked hurriedly.
"La~!"
Celebi called out weakly, and its body began to wither, gradually entering a dying state.
"Hurry up, put Celebi in the Lake of Life," Misty reminded him.
Ash ran into the Lake of Life and put Celebi in the lake, but Celebi still showed no signs of recovery.
"Is it because the water is too turbid?" Samuel asked in confusion.
"This..." Ash looked at the turbid Lake of Life, unable to make the water clear immediately.
At this moment, a cool north wind blew, and a majestic figure appeared on the lake, walking on the water as if it were solid ground.
"Suicune!" Misty said in astonishment.
Suicune ignored everyone and exuded a mysterious energy. The turbid lake water under its feet spread in a circle, and the lake water instantly became clear wherever it passed.
As Suicune jumped a few times on the lake, the Lake of Life returned to its original clear appearance.
Ash immediately understood what Suicune meant and hurriedly put Celebi into the Lake of Life again. However, Celebi floated on the water without any reaction, as if it had died.
Everyone saw Celebi motionless, and they all looked sad and stood aside in silence.
Ash and Samuel both cried bitterly because of Celebi's apparent death.
Among the people present, only Gary knew what was going on. Anyway, he didn't feel bad, and Celebi would not die so easily.
When Ash's tears fell on Celebi's face, a miracle happened. Space ripples appeared in the sky above the Lake of Life, and a blue ripple emerged and spread to the surroundings.
The whole Celebi Forest was filled with the sound of the forest.
All the Pokémon in the forest approached the Lake of Life.
The time ripples spread rapidly like waves.
Soon, Celebi emerged from the time ripples and rushed to Ash.
With a wave of its hand, the Celebi in Ash's hand flew into the sky and entered the time ripples.
The forest exuded more mysterious sounds. Celebi gradually recovered in the time ripples, and its wrinkled skin became smooth and delicate again.
"This is the time ripple..." Gary said in surprise.
"Time ripples? What is that?" Samuel asked curiously.
"This is time energy, which is also the source of Celebi's energy. Celebi travels through time ripples," Gary explained.
Samuel was shocked. It was the first time he heard such a statement. After all, Samuel was just a teenager and had no intention of doing Pokémon research.
"Rabi~!"
Celebi quickly woke up and surrounded Ash and Samuel.
The rest of the Celebi also returned to the time ripples and disappeared without a trace.
"Great, Celebi recovered," Misty said in surprise.
Everyone was very happy, but the happiness was short-lived. Celebi knew that Samuel was brought to this era by itself, and it needed to take Samuel back with it.
Ash and Samuel said goodbye reluctantly. Celebi took Samuel away from this time and space, and the Celebi Forest returned to peace.
[LV80 Suicune/Legend]
Gary looked at Suicune and immediately thought of the shame of the legendary beast on the journey. But Gary couldn't beat Suicune now; otherwise, he would have tried to capture Suicune to avoid humiliation.
But after thinking about it carefully, Gary was very confused. This Suicune is level 80. How could those Pokémon hunters be Suicune's rival?
After all, the three legendary beasts are not unique. The one captured by Goh is just a Suicune [may not be Suicune in the Ho-oh Guards].
After seeing off Celebi, Gary looked at the Iron-Masked Marauder, who was still in a coma. But this guy can't run away on his own initiative.
The Iron-Masked Marauder is not loyal to Giovanni. After being caught by the police, although it is unclear what the final result will be, it is definitely not good.
The wanted order states that it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies, which shows that the Iron-Masked Marauder will be sentenced to death if he is sent to the police.
"Everyone, let us deal with this bad guy," a middle-aged man stood up and said.
"Of course...!"
"Wait a minute," Gary immediately interrupted Ash.
"What's wrong?" Ash looked puzzled.
"This guy is the highest Executive of Team Rocket, named the Iron-Masked Marauder, with a bounty of 100 million. Don't you think you are a little greedy, brother?" Gary looked straight at the middle-aged man.
"What! He is worth 100 million!" Ash was also confused. He didn't expect that someone from Team Rocket could be so valuable.
"That... I didn't know he had such a high bounty. I just wanted to help you deal with the follow-up matters. Don't get me wrong," the man explained quickly.
"Yes, my brother is not that kind of person," Misty said.
"My grandson didn't think it through, please forgive me," the grandmother of the two stood up to apologize.
"Since we are dealing with it as three parties, then the 100 million will be divided equally, and each person will get 33 million. How about it?" Gary proposed.
"Three parties? Who is the third party?" Ash asked in confusion.
"Ash, you, Brock, and Misty are one party, the people from Arborville Village are one party, and I am alone in one party, a total of three parties," Gary explained.
"No, you alone have to share so much money..." Ash said dissatisfiedly.
"Of course not, strictly speaking, Samuel and I are counted as one party," Gary said.
"Samuel is not from this era, why should he be counted as one party with you?" Ash said unconvinced.
"Don't you know, that Samuel is my grandfather," Gary reminded.
Anyway, the incident has ended, Gary doesn't mind exposing Samuel's true identity. After all, time and space are multiple. Although Professor Oak of that era and Professor Oak of his own era are the same person, they are both independent people. There is no necessary connection between the two.
"What! That person is Professor Oak... You are lying," Ash said in disbelief.
