Chapter 224

In order not to let himself soften, Samuel Oak held Celebi and quickly left the original position.

Everyone saw this and finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he really sympathized with him, they would be speechless to death.

This was just like what people called a "saint," and the key was that the person didn't even know it.

Iron-Masked Marauder hadn't expected that the method he thought of would fail so quickly.

Afterward, he couldn't hold back and let out his Pokémon.

"You actually dare to openly clamor in front of me."

"And you still want to escape with this? I think you're simply dreaming."

He shouted loudly, even though he was extremely uncomfortable!

But at this moment, he absolutely couldn't let these people get away.

Ash and the others sighed helplessly when they saw him like this.

"We all wanted to let you off and thought we'd just let this matter go, but you insist on pestering us. Don't blame us if things turn out badly later."

Misty also brought out her Pokémon.

The battle this time was more intense than before. The key was that their Pokémon had fully recovered, and compared to their previous strength, it was much different.

In other words, the reason their Pokémon couldn't beat Celebi at the beginning

was entirely because they had already battled Iron-Masked Marauder's Pokémon before.

They didn't have much strength, but now it was different.

"You're actually still delusional about taking Celebi away. That is absolutely impossible."

"Although I don't know what you're insisting on,"

"I want to say that Celebi is my friend, and I will absolutely not allow anyone to hurt her or snatch her away."

"So don't dream here anymore."

Hearing these words, Iron-Masked Marauder became completely manic; not only did he rush over to battle them himself,

but he didn't even spare his own Pokémon.

The others who saw this expressed that it was very outrageous.

"I was wondering what was wrong with you. It turns out you're just feeling guilty yourself. But no matter what you think, it doesn't matter. What matters is that no matter what, you can't be our opponent."

They said this with a straight face, and Iron-Masked Marauder, hearing these words, was dismissive.

He rushed over again. Ash didn't show mercy this time.

Whether it was Pikachu or other Pokémon, they went up directly and caused irreversible damage to him.

"We already warned you, but you wouldn't listen."

"I don't know what you're thinking. You didn't grasp such a good opportunity, and now you insist on coming to find trouble."

They sighed helplessly and finally left the forest.

And Iron-Masked Marauder's situation was more miserable than imagined.

On the other side, the Boss at headquarters had been monitoring the situation in the forest.

Like Iron-Masked Marauder, he didn't give up on Celebi so easily.

In other words, as long as Celebi didn't leave their line of sight, it would be followed forever.

"Boss, it's been found that they have left the forest and intend to go to that Gym."

The subordinates here reported the first news to him hurriedly.

"Very good. That Gym happens to have a partnership with me, so let me go and take a look this time."

He wanted to see who Ash and the others wanted to challenge this time.

If possible, he would find someone to provoke them later and make them let Celebi take action.

When Celebi came into the air, he could collect it into the Dark Ball, and then they wouldn't have any other chance to take it away.

After all, the Mirror Mirror Lake of Life was gone here; as long as they left the forest, there would be a feasible opportunity.

"But if we do this, will it have some influence? And they are purely here for a competition. What if your plan ruins their schedule?"

The subordinates still didn't quite agree.

"Whose side are you on? Turning your elbows outward, right? What should be done now? Don't I know it in my heart? I don't need you to remind me."

He answered earnestly, and the group sighed helplessly.

Finally, they said nothing. When Ash and the others were almost at their destination, everyone suddenly sat down, exhausted.

"To tell the truth, I was very nervous when I was in the forest."

When talking about this, Ash looked at the others.

"By the way, are there any challenges or anything in your time?"

After all, he said he came from that era, 40 years ago.

Although he didn't know how Celebi did it, even now, everyone felt this was very magical.

"There were no challenges, no competitions. They got along very peacefully, only occasionally there were some robbers with malicious intent."

"They wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to occupy it, which is why such a situation occurred."

Samuel Oak described the situation at that time, still somewhat flattered.

"So that's how it is. But don't worry, now that you're by our side, we absolutely won't let you be harmed, and we will protect Celebi well."

"Right, Ash is right. We absolutely won't let our friends get hurt. Whether it's Celebi or you, you are very important to us."

Misty nodded hurriedly.

On the contrary, Brock on the side was unhappy.

"I don't quite understand why you won't acknowledge my strength. I'm actually already very powerful."

"And before this, these were all facts. If you really don't believe it, I can use other methods to test it."

He just wanted to prove that his Pokémon were more powerful than Pikachu.

"It's not that I don't understand why you want to argue about this."

"And the situation is already like this. If you insist on doing this, it might only make you more curious later."

"I didn't insist on doing this. I just think you are too unfair to people and facts. We are all together, all the same, but how come I feel Samuel Oak is more important in your hearts?"

When he said this, everyone was speechless.

"I don't think there's anything to say. If you insist on explaining, it's not that we won't listen, but why do you insist on arguing about right and wrong with Samuel Oak?"

"You are all our friends. Besides, can't everyone get along peacefully? You guy always have to say something different from others."

Although this sounded fine,

Brock was very sad.

"Forget it, I'm ignoring you all. I'll go first. When we get there, we'll see who the winner is."

Ash and the others were all dumbfounded.

Didn't they usually walk together? Why did this guy suddenly become like this?

"What is he doing when things are fine? Does he think we've wronged him? Or did he come up with some other idea? I really can't figure it out."

He said this with a straight face, and the others on the side also expressed confusion.

After all, according to the current situation, this had completely exceeded their expectations.

"Now is not the time to say these things; let's set off quickly."

Because Brock went first, everyone followed one after another.

The Boss contacted the owner of this Gym.

"Don't worry, I will definitely act according to your requirements. But what ability does this Celebi have?"

The other party was also curious; after all, the Boss was rarely so interested in an object.

And the Boss originally wanted to tell the other party,

but suddenly thought of Iron-Masked Marauder before, and he had a thought in his heart.

"It's mainly because I want to conduct some research recently, and this Celebi fits the research conditions very well."

"If it succeeds, you can come directly to me for the repairs of your Gym and later expenses."

"I will definitely make you satisfied, and there won't be any mistakes in the situation that follows."
