The sun sets into the trees as marauder and team rocket travel deep into the forest in his machine
Marauder: don't you worry, we'll find celebi
Jessie: I'd rather hunt some lunch
James: so would I
Meowth: I for a bathroom. Huh?
They look ahead to see a low tree with low hanging fruit
Jame: lucky us!
Jessie: it's a peach tree! Grab that big one!
They latch into the tree but fall off the machine fighting over the fruit which is caught by a passing pidgeoto
James: nice catch
Jessie: peachy
They then realize their situation as they see marauder going far ahead with them far behind
Jessie: there goes out driver!
They all rush to see if they can catch up with him
Night falls back with out heroes as they set up camp with Sid carrying a log up with e fire for his bed
Sid: remember the good old days?
Diego: which good old days?
Sid: aww ya know, last week, after Godzilla became king, back when we traveled the world helping others and having great laughs with each other
Diego: yep. Those were the good days. People were people and... animals were animals. We should get some sleep
Sid: yeah. Wonder what's in store for tomorrow. And remind me to get granny dentures will ya?
Sid falls right to sleep after that as Sam is wide awake looking at his journal doing research. Steven and lapis wake up seeing him
Steven: sam. Go back to sleep...
Sam: I can't right now
He shows his picture of celebi sleeping with our riolu and pichu
Latias: that's pretty good
Sam: thanks. Whenever I meet a new Pokémon, I Record them in this book
Steven: can we see?
Sam shows Jim's some pictures of his last works, including a rapidash with her filly
Steven: like a hand made Pokédex
Latias: a machine that has everything there is to know about Pokémon
Sam: I guess you know more about the future huh? At least more than I do
Steven: yeah. I'm glad I'm not stuck in it like you
Sam looks down
Latias: we didn't mean it like that
Sam gets up and walks off
Steven: Sam! We didn't mean to-
Sam: that's okay. I think I'll like living in the future but it'll take some getting used to
Latias: I guess...
Sam: but then I think about my mom worrying about me and wondering where I am hoping she's still praying for me
Steven: you still pray?
Latias pinches his shoulder
Steven: what?
Latias: not right now
Sam: what about you Steven? I bet your mom worries about you doesn't she?
Latias and Steven look at each other with worry
Latias: well ya see....
Steven: my mom... does worry about me, a lot. But I always write to her on how I'm doing and I'm able to call her whenever I reach a hotel or Pokémon center. I guess that's just what moms do. Don't they?
Latias: yeah... I guess so
Stevens stomach begins to growl
Steven: guess I'm getting hungry
Sam: I got something!
Sam heads for his bag and gets out his loaf of bread
Sam: Diana's grandmother grabs me this before i was sent here
He splits it in three for his new friends and chow down
Steven: yum!
Latias: yeah, for 40 year d bread this is pretty good
Sam: tastes like it was made yesterday
Steven: haha! Town travel home!
That's when riolu woke up and senses something waking celebi up. They go out to see a bunch of lights lighting up the forest. They go in and see it was a colony of metapod evolving into butterfree
Sam: look at all the butterfree
Steven: I hope you'll be free Sam
Sam: huh?
Steven: to go back in time to the past
Latias: also... we knew a butterfree once. He joined a migration to their spawning grounds. Wonder what he's up to
Steven: probably raising a family of his own out there
They all see the butter free fly off as the trio with celebi and riolu climb a high tree to see the spectacle next to a beautiful sunrise
...
Back in the spot where they met Sam and celebi they knew they were on their way. But then out of nowhere a giant claw came and tried to grab celebi but missing it by inches! They realized it was marauder and team rocket back for round 2
Meowth: we ain't leaving without celebi!
Latias used thunderbolt against the machine but to didn't even lay a dent!
Marauder: nice try!
It then destroyed its whole surrounding as they head a loud commotion in the forest. At that moment a giant claw snatched celebi and carried him to marauder
Marauder: this oughta calm you down
It then electrified the poor Pokémon putting him to sleep! He then threw him into the air about to trap him inside a dark ball
Marauder: dark ball! Go!
Celebi is sucked into the ball as it falls back into his hand
Marauder: you belong to me now, you mindless animal
That's when a violent shaking crashes though the forest floor, suddenly the trees burst apart to reveal the mighty elephant that saved Stevens life bellowing and trumpeting in rage in an attempt so save the guardian of the forest
And right beside him was a while herd of elephants charging through the foliage, as well as the rhino from before and the bandar-log who joined in since they too lived in the forest as they all charged to the giant contraption with the rhino scooping Steven up onto his back
Steven: release celebi now!
The rhino charges for a leg, his tiny red eyes eyeing the metal in front of him and charges at it! The metal stuck to his horn as he tries desperately to shake it off
Marauder: a bunch of stupid beasts
That's when a flock of pidgies flew at his face pecking at the iron mask as some of the bandar-log climb up the machine to grab the dark ball and release their guardian. One of the primates tries to rip it from his hands but it only makes the machine stomp around causing the gang and the animals to move out of the way, the rhino still smelling the hunter who was holding the Gordon's of the forest in his hand
Rhino: for the forest!
The rhino charges at the machine, snorting violently as he gallops through the foliage, his horn pointed right at the machine as it stomps through the undergrowth. The rhino charges at the machine allowing Marauder to lose grasp of the dark ball allowing a monkey to grab it in his hands and land on top of the rhino as the machine falls to the grass handing it to Steven. But marauder rushes toward them and tries to grab it out of their hands
Marauder: I think you have something that belongs to me!
Steven tries to fight back as well as the monkey but marauder uses both hands and rips it out of their hands. Sam and the gang come too late as they see marauder holding the dark ball in his hands but the. He sees he's surrounded by wild Pokémon and the animals that partook in the attempt rescue
Marauder: don't waste your time you stupid savages! It's too late to save celebi! Because the sweet fairy you used to know doesn't exist anymore!
Marauder launches the dark ball into the air releasing celebi revealing soulless sharp eyes that Steven was too familiar with
Marauder: now my pet! KILL THEM ALL!!!
Celebi then launches everyone off their feet sending them back and then... he charges at all the animals making them flee except for the rhino and the bull elephant who stood their ground as they see the chaos marauder is causing
Marauder: excellent! Now show me your full power!
Celebi then Simmons a huge tornado and wraps himself in dirt as everyone watches in horror as celebi is covered in plants and dirt. Later dian and her grandmother find the gang and pick them up as on top of a high mountain, suicune Senses the danger and races for action
...
Later they all take a glimpse of the destruction marauder caused as celebi destroyed more of the forest causing all the creatures to flee as the form the form of a monstrous fire breathing dragon laying waste to its surroundings
Marauder: I control the most powerful beast of all the world! Celebi has the power to rule team rocket rams the world!
Meanwhile the gang catch up and see what marauder head down with celebi and run to the front
Marauder: you again? Celebi! Get rid of them!
Celebi sees them and launches them all into the lake, celebi fires at them again destroying the lakes surrounding. The beast crashes through the forest as latias uses thunderbolt
Marauder: celebi, out them out of their misery!
Celebi is about to fire at them again but then at the last second... suocune charges in and scoops them onto her back as they run to safety! Suicune then lands on the branch marauder was on and launches him off but lands on the ground
Manny: so... you must be suicune
Suicune: a pleasure to make your acquaintance, but let's save the introduction for after this conflict
Diego: good idea ma'am
Marauder then launches his second dark ball and out came his tyranitar
Marauder: tyranitar! Hyper beam!
Tyranitar does so but the bill elephant charges pushing him out of the way allowing suicune to fly up to the top to see celebi
Steven: celebi!
Celebi looks at them with his soulless eyes and tries to shake them off. Suicune assist the bill elephant with his fight with tyranitar by balsttomg at him sending him backwards. The elephant then shove shin j to the lake trumpeting triumphantly
Marauder: okay time is over. Celebi, now
The giant marches up to the trio as suicune blasted the head of the beast. It launches one of its claws but only for suocune to run up its arm, then vines sprouted up and caught her!
Marauder: good work! Now finish her!
Celebi then electrocuted her weakening her! Tom and Steven both fall off and land at the chest where Jessie was trapped in as she saves them from falling off
Jessie: you have to be more careful! Celebi's just above us!
Sam: thanks a lot
Steven: let's go!
They both climb up to the top where celebi was
Steven: celebi! Snap out of it!
Sam: your supposed to protect the forest not destroy it!
Celebi then stops hurting suicune and then snaps out of his spell. Steven and Sa climb up to where celebi was but marauder interfered
Marauder: what's re you waiting for?! They are your enemies!
That snapped celebi back to evil as he starts zapping suocune again
Steven: celebi! We're not your enemies! We're trying to help you!
Then celebi's memories came back to him making him try to snap him back to normal
Marauder: celebi! Kill them now!
The giant then stomps off with all the forest creatures bellowing and roaring for celebi. The duo then climb right up to him
Sam: it's me! Remember?
Steven grabs celebi and moves his face up to his
Steven: look at me! Remember!
Celebi looked right at them and celebi snapped back to normal making suocune land into the water and his dark ball disappearing
Celebi: guys!
Steven: celebi!
Sam: your okay!
Celebi: man that's as scary
Then the monster shell came crashing down tumbling into the lake. Celebi uses his psychic powers to float them all to the ground unharmed. Then they see celebi seriously hurt as they land to the ground. Suocune charging up to the gang as they see Steven Sam and celebi get to shore
Latias: what's wrong?
Steven/ I don't know
Celebi didn't move a muscle as he started losing his colors. Steven put him into the water but nothing
Manny: marauder did a number here. Look at it
Sid: but didn't suicune have the power to heal the lake?
Suicune: I know what I must do
She lets out a loud bellow as she shined as bright as a star. She launches into the water hopping off purifying it with every jump she made. She leapt back to the others as the lake was back to health. Steven then out celebi back into the lake
Steven: celebi?
Nothing....
Steven: come on! We gotta keep trying
Steven room out a berry and out it on his face but it just slipped off... still nothing....
Manny:.... were too late
Steven: no...
Everyone Lowe's their head shedding tears
Sam: celebi didn't do anything wrong! It was that human who forced celebi to destroy the forest! Celebi never even had a choice! And now he can't have a choice! Now he won't have a choice because he's gonna die!
They all start to cry at that moment as well as the forest dwellers and suicune let out a loud howl. Then the sky lit up shocking everyone. A huge green light flowed through the forest healing everything. At that moment, a huge flock of celebi came down
Sid: there's more of them?!
They all came down to purify the forest flying over the gang. Then their celebi glowed floating to his brethren who circled around him. They all then lifted into the sky as the entire swarm circled their injured comrad. The forest shined as bright as the ocean as everyone watched from the yellow sky. Then celebi opened his eyes back to full health
Diego: he's alive!
Indeed he was! He then flew in the air with his brethren who came from different times to help
Celebi: thank you! Thank you all!
They all then flew back to the shining light leaving back to their worlds as the forest was back to health. Celebi flew thought he air happy everything was normal again
Latias: boy that was awesome!
Celebi: couldn't agree more!
He flew all over the lake Bally, but then, marauder leapt out of the water and snatched shim with his hands!
Sid: COME ON!!!
Marauder: now I have everything I need to rile the world!
He then flew with his jet pack into the air with Steven latching onto his leg, his claws digging into his skin drawing blood
Steven: let him go!
Steven grew into his dinosaur form to weigh marauder down as they all then fell back to the ground. Celebi then helped Steven down to the ground with his psychic powers as marauder fell to the forest. Everyone gathered to see Steven Alright. As for marauder, let's just say the bad guys always get their just desserts
...
Back in the lake suocune made her way out
Steven: nice finally meeting you! Hope to see you again!
Suicune: me too, your majesty
Suicune then ran off into the forest back to her home with everyone waving goodbye
Celebi: looks like it's time for you to go home
Sam: really?
Celebi: I am a time traveler aren't I?
Sam looks to his friends who all smiled
Steven: don't worry! Wherever you are, we'll always be friends
Sam nods as celebi takes him back to 40 years into his time
Steven: well miss you Sam

They all then went on the ferry to their next adventure
Gladys: ya know Sidney, even if were screw up, at least we got people who care about us
Sid: your right granny
Gladys: here! Can ya chew this kiwi for me?
Sid: nah ah! Not ever again!
Sid: tada!
Sid locks Gladys new dentures in and she tested them out on the kiwi and it was shredded like nothing!
Gladys: ah!
They got on the ferry with the rest
Gladys: hey sailor!
Diego: woah!
They all then set sail to their next adventure, where they will be in for the ride of their lives!
