In this era, information about Mythical and Legendary Pokémon is incredibly rare.
This book is first released on the entire network by 𝚝𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞
After all, when Ash first started his journey, the Pokédex didn't even have data on Ho-Oh.
Later, when Ash participated in the Indigo League, the Indigo Plateau, as the headquarters, used Moltres' flames for the tournament.
Later, when Ash went to Johto to participate in the Silver Conference, the opening ceremony changed to Ho-Oh's flames.
This made the headquarters look like a joke.
My headquarters' tournament opening ceremony uses Moltres' fire, how can your branch tournament use Ho-Oh's!?
Su Sheng speculated that this was probably because the League had confirmed Ho-Oh's existence during Ash's journey and changed the Holy Fire of the opening ceremony.
If Ash had gone back to compete in the Indigo League at that time, the Indigo League should have also upgraded the Holy Fire from the Moltres version to the Ho-Oh version.
Compared to Pokémon like Articuno, Regirock, and Kyurem, who hole up in their lairs all day and are therefore still unknown to this day, Celebi is much more well-known.
After all, like Mew, it doesn't stay put in one place and loves to run around like a truant.
Ten years ago, there were Celebi sightings in many places.
It is one of the most well-known Mythical Pokémon.
"These guys, their target is Celebi!?"
Lance's eyes hardened.
It's already common to see criminal organizations targeting Legendary Pokémon.
But so far, he hasn't seen anyone succeed.
"Shut up!"
Ariana came up from behind and slapped Gooroo on the back of the head.
She knew that Gooroo was an idiot, but she didn't expect him to be so stupid as to reveal their mission target.
"Is Joker not here?"
Looking at Rika and Itachi, who were wearing masks, Ariana pondered to herself, then shouted to Khoury, who was standing behind:
"Hey! Boss Khoury, are you sure Celebi will appear?"
They were contacted by Khoury and hired to capture Celebi.
However, "hired" is not quite appropriate; it should be mutual exploitation.
Khoury put one hand in his pocket and sneered:
"Of course, as long as you can catch Celebi, she can be yours; I just want something else."
He had seen it through his ability to foresee the future—
In the future, a Celebi will travel through a time warp, coming to this world from the past or future!
The location is in this forest.
"Sis, is this guy crazy? If he knows Celebi is here, why doesn't he catch it himself and hires us instead?"
Napthys, Ariana's younger brother, who was the only one besides Ariana not used as a material by Su Sheng in the Goldenrod Station incident two years ago, whispered in his sister's ear.
He really felt that something was wrong.
If Khoury really got information that Celebi would appear here,
Then why doesn't he do it himself?
Instead, he wants to hire them, Team Shadow?
And he promises that Celebi will belong to Team Shadow after the operation is successful?
Then wouldn't Khoury get nothing?
Ariana was about to answer when a pillar of dark rays blasted over.
Rika made her move!
It was Houndoom's Dark Pulse!
The target… was Khoury!
"Team Shadow!"
Khoury's face changed drastically, and he shouted sharply.
"Tch~ Gardevoir!"
Ariana clicked her tongue and summoned her Gardevoir.
The Psychic Queen held her palms together, condensing a pale pink energy sphere.
The next second, she pushed her hands out, and the pink ball of light was thrown out, not rapidly expanding during flight.
That was… Fairy-type Moonblast!
Dark Pulse VS Moonblast!
When the Dark Pulse rushed out halfway, Moonblast flew in from the side.
The two forces detonated heavily in mid-air.
The strong surge turned into gusts of wind, echoing in this forest.
"Heh~ As before, the future has been changed."
Khoury wiped the sweat left on the side of his face; although he maintained a smile on his face, the pupils in his eyes still trembled uncontrollably.
He hired Team Shadow for his own reasons.
In the future fragments he saw these days, besides a Celebi appearing in this Ilex Forest, there was also a segment about his own future.
He would be killed by that masked woman's Houndoom!
That's right, the other future Khoury saw was his death!
And to prevent such a future, Khoury could only hire powerful bodyguards.
As for why Khoury didn't ask the experts of the Unova League for help?
Damn it, after the previous Lostlorn Forest incident, Alder and the others vaguely felt that there was something wrong with Khoury.
If Khoury took the initiative to come to them at this time, wouldn't that be courting death?
What's more, he was busy catching Celebi; he couldn't let the Unova League know about this.
After searching around, he could only choose Team Shadow.
"Boss, if this drags on, we might attract the Indigo League."
Gunn reminded Khoury, looking at Rika and Itachi, who were in a chaotic battle with all of Team Shadow.
"Yeah, move out."
Khoury nodded seriously.
Hearing this, Gunn immediately ordered the group of lackeys he brought from Unova, "Move out!"
The core employees of Khoury's Network World Corporation threw out their Poké Balls one after another.
As the white light flashed, several Pokémon endemic to the Unova region, Heatmor and Bisharp, appeared!
With these lackeys waving their hands,
Several Bisharp showed metallic luster on their arms, wielding two katana-like blades, indiscriminately slashing at the surrounding towering trees.
You should know that the most famous thing about the Ilex Forest is these groups of large trees.
Because they are too tall, they even cover the sunlight in the sky, making it a small scenic spot in the Johto region.
One after another, large trees fell in groups.
Some Flying-type and Bug-type Pokémon that originally lived in the trees were startled and ran away.
But this was not the end!
Bisharp slashed the surrounding trees, while Heatmor spewed flames, frantically burning the surrounding green trees.
In less than half a minute, they turned this green forest into a sea of fire.
Khoury shouted wildly:
"Come out! Celebi! Don't you claim to be the 'Guardian of the Forest'? Seeing the forest being destroyed like this, shouldn't you come out and stop me?!"
Good fellow.
Su Sheng silently watched this scene, couldn't help but sigh that although this trick was despicable, it was indeed very useful.
Especially for Mythical Pokémon like Celebi, who are easily soft-hearted, moral kidnapping is simply tried and tested!
"Damn it!"
With a burst of national essence, a Snorlax drilled out of the side bushes.
It unleashed a Dragon Pulse at the ranting Khoury!
Celebi hadn't come out yet, but Lance couldn't bear it anymore.
He didn't know what Khoury wanted to do.
But based on his words and actions just now,
Lance only had one sentence left in his mind at this moment—you have a death wish!
This Dragonite, which jumped out from nowhere, startled both Khoury and Team Shadow.
"Gardevoir!"
Ariana shouted loudly.
The Gardevoir, which was originally entangled with Rika's Houndoom, teleported and stood in front of Khoury in an instant.
"Foolish, die."
Lance sneered.
How could Gardevoir's thin arms and legs block my Dragonite's attack.
Boom—
Dragon Pulse directly detonated on the Psychic Queen's body surface, and the intense energy caused by the explosion spread out.
Khoury, who was impacted by the aftermath, fell to the ground.
However, when the aftermath dissipated, and everyone saw clearly,
They found that Gardevoir was still standing in place, unmoving.
"How could this be!?"
Lance's face changed drastically.
"Ah… speaking of which, the Fairy-type doesn't seem to have been included by the League."
Su Sheng remembered something.
However, he remembered that in the original animation, Lance used Dragon-type moves to hit Gardevoir.
Is this a famous scene reproduction?
"It's just as I expected."
Ariana smiled coldly.
Her Gardevoir recently awakened a new type of move different from the Psychic-type.
The pink ball of light just now was like that.
Not only that, but Ariana also discovered that this type of move had an overwhelming restraint against Dragon-types.
In that case, it is very likely that this power also has resistance to Dragon-type moves.
But Ariana didn't expect the effect to be so good; it was not just resistance, it was complete immunity.
It's like Ground-type against Electric-type!
"Gardevoir, use that move!"
Hearing her master's order, Gardevoir held her palms together again, condensing Moonblast.
Ariana hadn't named this move yet; she simply said "that move."
The Dragonite in the sky changed its face drastically.
It could feel the dangerous aura emanating from that pink ball of light.
It was no less than the annoying Ice-type moves.
Gardevoir pushed her palms forward, using Moonblast again.
"Lapras! Blizzard!"
Vast white snow attacked from the side, instantly forming a small iceberg, turning into an ice wall, helping Dragonite block the flying Moonblast.
The crowd, attracted by this blizzard, turned their heads to look.
Lance! Lorelei!
"Damn it!"
Khoury's face changed drastically.
He didn't see these two in his future vision.
What's more troublesome is that his actions just now must have been seen.
If his actions just now were reported to the League by Lance and Lorelei, he would become a rat crossing the street.
Everything he owns now would turn into past smoke.
At this moment, Khoury had only one thought in his mind—he must not be left alive!
But… Khoury looked around.
He found that taking down Lance and Lorelei was not an easy task.
After all, with Team Shadow's combat power, it wouldn't be easy to take down Joker's two accomplices, let alone now that Lance and Lorelei had come.
"Boss, we must not let Lance and Lorelei leave alive."
Gunn whispered in Khoury's ear.
"But with the current combat power, do you think we can take them down?"
Khoury frowned and asked.
Gunn thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and shouted to Rika and Itachi not far away:
"Hey! You two over there!"
The two, who were about to kill Gooroo's Infernape and Ariana's newly dispatched Altaria, stopped and looked at Gunn.
"How about a temporary truce? Lance and Lorelei are members of the League and your enemies, aren't they? How about the three of us joining forces to kill them first?"
Gunn shouted loudly.
As for Su Sheng, who was standing at the very back, he was gloriously ignored.
After all, in the eyes of most people, Su Sheng was just a weak theoretical expert.
The two Indigo Elite Four members changed their faces drastically upon hearing this.
They didn't care about Khoury's group of weaklings.
But if Team Shadow and those two attacked at the same time, it would indeed be very tricky.
Not to mention that Joker was still somewhere.
Rika and the two secretly glanced at Su Sheng in the far back with the corners of their eyes.
With one look from Su Sheng, they knew what the other party's attitude was.
Rika showed a sneer, "I don't want to let a guy who can see the future live."
The next second, Rika took out a new Poké Ball with her backhand.
Honchkrow jumped out of the ball and fought with Ariana's Altaria.
"See the future!?"
Hearing the four words in Rika's words, Lance and Lorelei changed their expressions again.
What's going on again?
"Bellossom! Surf! Slowbro! Psychic!"
Itachi also seized the opportunity to order.
Khoury's ability was indeed troublesome; he must not be allowed to leave alive today!
Slowbro's Shellder exerted force, causing waves to roll up under Slowbro's feet, getting higher and higher.
Finally forming a seven or eight-meter wave.
The Slowpoke at the front used psychic power to divide the waves into three.
Like three water pythons, bypassing the lackeys blocking the way, they directly attacked Khoury, who was protected by Team Shadow and the lackeys in the far back.
Khoury's face changed drastically.
His Mismagius hurried forward, using all its strength to unleash a wide-ranging Thunderbolt, trying to help its master block the attack.
However, even if the type was unfavorable, Surf easily swallowed it the moment it collided with Thunderbolt.
The Pokémon on both sides were not on the same level!
Mismagius was swallowed by Surf in less than five seconds after appearing.
It must be said that Pokémon are truly loyal.
Even if her master is a scumbag.
"Go to hell!"
Itachi shouted.
"Ice Beam!"
A surging silver-white beam flew first, freezing the three water snakes on the spot.
Itachi turned his head with a ghostly expression.
Looking at Lorelei and her Lapras beside her, who was using Ice Beam, he couldn't help but break down and curse:
"Big boobed woman! What's wrong with you!?"
You should know that this guy wanted to kill you just now, why are you saving him!?
Lorelei didn't care about Itachi's address to her, but said to Lance in a cold voice:
"Lance, don't let Khoury die; he probably knows a lot of inside information that we don't know."
Of course Lorelei also wanted to kill Khoury, not only because he also wanted to kill herself just now, but more importantly, he actually harmed the forest and the innocent Pokémon in the forest.
This one crime alone was enough for Lorelei to freeze him into an ice sculpture!
But Lorelei was obviously calmer than Lance in terms of personality.
From the conversation of these people so far, it can be inferred that there must be some secrets behind this that their League does not know.
Therefore, it is necessary to arrest Khoury and interrogate him properly.
Especially what that “seeing the future” thing actually is.
Lorelei felt it was necessary to investigate.
Lance agreed with this upon hearing it.
“You hold these people back, I’ll go catch him!”
It wouldn't be too late to kill Kotai after all the secrets in his mouth are pried out!
Saying that, Lance jumped onto his Dragonite, using his flying advantage to cross the battlefield and head straight for Kotai.
“He can’t be given to you for the time being!”
Elina's expression suddenly changed.
She hasn't gotten Celebi yet, so she can't let Kotai be caught by Lance.
Rika had the same attitude.
If Kotai is caught by Lance and thrown into the League prison, it will be even harder to kill him.
“Lapras!”
Lorelei sent out her most capable partner to block the two women's Gardevoir and Houndoom.
The more Shadow Triad and Team Rocket act like this, the more it proves Kotai's importance.
At the same time, Lorelei was also certain in her heart that Kotai must be judged by them.
Lapras fought two opponents alone, temporarily blocking Gardevoir and Houndoom.
“Sheng, stand back a bit.”
Lorelei reminded Su Sheng, with her back to him.
“Get out of the way!”
Elina shouted unhappily.
Suddenly, Gardevoir's aura changed dramatically.
The Thunderbolt she unleashed was more than just a notch stronger than before.
Crack!
In the next second, Gardevoir's Thunderbolt, which was originally losing to Lapras's Ice Beam, suppressed it instead.
“Woo woo woo—”
Hit by the super-effective Thunderbolt, Lapras let out a painful wail.
“What!?”
Lorelei, who had just turned her head back after reminding Su Sheng to step back a moment ago, saw the scene of her Lapras being hit by the opponent's Thunderbolt.
How could this be!?
Those who were equally shocked were Will and Rika.
Pokémon suddenly becoming more than just a notch stronger, they seemed to have seen something like this somewhere before!
In Su Sheng's eyes, through the black-framed glasses he wore on the bridge of his nose.
Su Sheng clearly saw black flames of ominousness rising on Gardevoir's body!
Exactly the same as the situation of Morty's Dragonite, the gym leader of Ecruteak City, half a year ago!
Dark power!
“Now, the puzzle is solved.”
Su Sheng smiled to himself as he pushed up his glasses.
These glasses are not just decorations, but the same type of glasses that Su Sheng developed with reference to the fragments of Morty's sunglasses that he brought out from Ecruteak City!
It has the same effect as Morty's sunglasses.
“Be a good boy and surrender!”
On the other side, while Lorelei was helping to delay time, Lance had already rushed to Kotai.
The burly Dragonite reached out and prepared to lift the other party up like a chick.
“Go.”
Su Sheng silently said two words in his heart.
“Awoo!?”
Just as Dragonite's claws were only half a meter away from the terrified Kotai at the last moment.
Dragonite suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.
“Woo!”
Dragonite used the “Protect” move out of instinct.
A translucent blue shield surged on the body surface.
Almost in the second second after the shield was deployed, a zigzagging silver-white ray struck straight at it.
It is Ice Beam!
“Who!?”
Lance turned his head and looked in the direction where the Ice Beam was shot from.
What caught his eye was a Glaceon! There was also a gemstone pendant emitting a silver-white light hanging around his neck.
“You…”
Lance's expression suddenly changed, and he looked forward again with a condensed gaze.
Sure enough, behind that Glaceon, that figure that made him “dream about it” walked out from behind a big tree.
“Joker!”
Everyone present shouted the other party's name in unison.
“Champion Lance! Kotai is about to run away!”
At this time, Su Sheng, who was staying behind Lorelei, shouted a reminder.
Lance, who was stunned for two seconds, turned his head and looked forward again.
Sure enough, Kotai had already run a distance.
“Don’t think about running!”
Lance's expression suddenly changed and he wanted to chase after him.
However, the moment Dragonite dispelled the shield, Glaceon rushed up.
“Don’t get in the way!”
Lance shouted irritably.
Dragonite's right arm was burning with flames, and he punched it.
Fire Punch!
However, at the moment when the Fire Punch hit.
Glaceon's figure disappeared out of thin air like a mirage.
Making Dragonite and Lance on his back change their expressions at the same time.
What's the situation!?
In the next moment, everyone only saw a yellow flash shuttle through the battlefield.
A Jolteon rushed to Kotai, staring at the other party with an unkind expression.
“Don’t…don’t…”
Kotai was so frightened that he backed away.
In the next second, Joker flicked his hand lightly.
Seeing this, Jolteon bowed down, preparing to take the other party's dog life.
However, at this last critical moment.
Several ice cones shot out from above Jolteon's head.
Accurately hit the two vital parts of Kotai's throat and heart.
Who is it!?
I wish you all a happy National Day, and thank you all for accompanying me all the way, and strive to present the most interesting story to all readers.
