Chapter 321: No Hope

"Although I don't know what you are persisting for."

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

"So you should stop dreaming here."

Hearing these words, the Masked Marauder drove himself into a frenzy, not only rushing over to battle them himself.

He didn't even spare the Pokémon on his own body.

Seeing this, the other few people expressed that it was extremely absurd.

"I was wondering what was wrong with you; after all that, it turns out you're just feeling guilty yourself. But no matter what you're thinking, it doesn't matter. What matters is that no matter what, you could never be our opponent."

They were dead serious, but the Masked Marauder, hearing these words, was unimpressed.

Rushing over again, Ash did not hold back this time.

Whether it was Pikachu or other Pokémon, they went straight up and dealt him irreversible damage.

"We already gave you a warning, but you wouldn't listen."

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

They sighed helplessly and finally left the forest.

And the Masked Marauder's situation was even more miserable than imagined.

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

Like the Masked Marauder, he wasn't about to give up on Celebi so easily.

In other words, as long as Celebi did not leave their line of sight, it would be pursued forever.

"Boss, we've tracked them leaving the forest, intending to go to that martial arts gym."

The subordinates here hurriedly reported the first-hand news to him.

"Very good, that martial arts gym happens to have a partnership with me, so this time, let me go take a look."

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

If possible, he would find someone to provoke them then, making them let Celebi take action.

Once Celebi came into the air, he would be able to capture it into the Dark Poké Ball, and then they would have no other chance to take it away.

After all, the Lake of Life was no longer here; as long as they left the forest, there would be a viable opportunity for all of this.

"But if we do that, will it have any impact? And they are purely here for a competition; what if your plan ruins their schedule?"

Some of the subordinates still didn't quite agree.

"Whose side are you on anyway? Turning your elbows outward, are you? Now, what should be done? Do you think I don't know in my heart? I don't need your reminders."

He answered seriously, and those few people sighed helplessly.

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

"To be honest, I was very nervous when we were in the forest."

Speaking of 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 from now.

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

"There were no challenges, no competitions; they lived together very peacefully, only occasionally were there some bandits with malicious hearts."

"They wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make this their own, which is why such a situation occurred."

Samuel Oak described the situation at that time, still feeling a bit overwhelmed.

"So that's how it is. But don't worry, now that you are by our side, we will absolutely not let you be harmed, and we will protect Celebi well." ===== CHAPTER 322 =====
