Chapter 218

After Mewtwo's guidance, Ash felt as if he had established a deeper connection with his surroundings, enabling him to more keenly sense the emotions and conditions of the surrounding Poké Ball.

"If you need my help, call me with superpower, and I'll come as soon as possible!"

Mewtwo solemnly nodded to Ash, turned around and flew off together with the Poké Balls!

【Naja: Mewtwo didn't just acknowledge Black Satoshi, but also helped Black Satoshi awaken superpower!】

【Xiba: Aura, superpower, Black Satoshi is too heaven-defying! If superpower could boost Poké Balls like Naja does, then Black Satoshi's Poké Balls would have another cheat.】

【Jiadeliya: No one has tried this yet, and no one like Black Satoshi has both Aura and superpower; let Black Satoshi tinker with it, maybe it'll give us a surprise.】

Ash stared blankly at the Black Light Screen, feeling very happy; Black Satoshi's side indeed had well solved the Team Rocket problem, and Mewtwo hadn't been tormented by those devices.

However, Ash noticed Sakaki's Beedrill; that Beedrill, even with Pikachu boosted by Aura, could still fight on equal terms, and even secretly held the upper hand.

Regarding Sakaki, I gained a new understanding; his Beedrill's combat power is surprisingly high.

However, Sakaki used to be the leader of the Viridian Gym, so his strength naturally isn't weak; Ash just didn't expect Sakaki's strength to be hidden so deeply, it could even qualify him as an Elite Four member!

Dong dong dong!

The heavy knocking sound echoed in the quiet room.

Seeing the Team Rocket still failing inside the Black Light Screen, Sakaki lightly tapped the table, his face grim, his gaze continually falling on Ash and his companions resting inside the Black Light Screen; his eyes held both scrutiny and calculation.

Just now Mewtwo gave him awakening of superpower, indicating that superpower could be used to summon it; then could I find Mewtwo through Ash?

White Ash also received Mewtwo's acknowledgment, and should likewise be able to summon Mewtwo.

After thinking, Sakaki was instead drawn to the White Light Screen.

The White Light Curtain lit up just then.

Appearing was a boy, not Ash, but another boy.

That boy sat under a tree taking notes, but then heard an abnormal sound, suddenly discovering that the Poké Balls were panicking and fleeing.

That boy saw the Pokémon hunter's Scyther and Honchkrow chasing Celebi, and the boy stepped forward to stop them, taking Celebi away.

【Juzi: Isn't that Old Man Oak? How did he end up here?】

【Ash: That's Professor Oak?!】

【Ma Zhishi: Professor Oak actually met Celebi, a person coming from Pallet Town, is their legendary beast affinity really that good?】

Bai Shijie—

Afterwards Celebi used superpower, bringing the boy across time and space.

The scene shifted, Ash and his group also arrived at the forest; along the way they also saw Suicune. Not long after, they encountered the boy who had come through time and space; from chatting with this boy they learned his name was Xuecheng, and Celebi had hidden itself after exhausting its energy.

Everyone learned the boy's identity; it turned out to be Professor Oak. Afterwards they also saw him meeting Ash and his group, and they were astonished: Professor Oak had also crossed forty years into the future with Celebi, and even met Ash.

Since neither had met before, Xuecheng didn't know Ash, and Ash didn't know him.

【Brock: Only now do I realize that the Xuecheng we met back then was Professor Oak!】

【Professor Oak: Celebi possesses the ability to traverse time, wandering across various places; back then Celebi was forced by Pokémon hunters to use this temporal power, and by chance it ended up forty years later, fortuitously meeting Ash.】

【Daigo: In that case, Ash initially receiving Pikachu was no coincidence, but deliberate on Professor Oak's part; Professor Oak likely saw that the present Ash resembled the Ash he had met after time travel, and still remembered that Ash had a Pikachu by his side, so Professor Oak gave Pikachu to Ash.】

Bai Shijie—

Xuecheng encountered the old woman who had always guarded the forest of Guoye Village; she was the sister who had given Xuecheng advice forty years ago.

After learning about Xuecheng and Celebi's story, Ash and his friends decided to help Xuecheng find Celebi.

Soon they found Celebi, but the Team Rocket Trio appeared again; however, before even three seconds had passed, they fell from a tree and were ignored by Ash and his friends.

Although the Team Rocket Trio could be ignored, the strongest executive in Team Rocket's history, Mianjubixiasi, set his sights on Celebi and sent out pursuers.

Facing Scyther and Heracross, Xuecheng and Ash fought them together.

After Xuecheng gave a hint, Bayleef quickly defeated Scyther.

And Xuecheng's Charizard defeated Heracross with a single Iron Head.

【Xiba: As expected of Professor Oak, you're strong!】
