Chapter 866 Xiao Zhi Makes a Move
They ran into an area shrouded in thick fog, where a circled bear emerged from the fog, glanced at them, and waved for them to follow.
Then he turned and walked in one direction, his steps steady and powerful.
Xiao Gang hesitated for a moment, then followed it.
The circle bear led them to the Lake of Life.
The lake water was pale blue, as if a piece of sky had fallen down.
The water was as calm as a mirror, reflecting the outlines of the surrounding giant trees.
Circle Bear stopped by the lake, turned around and glanced at Xiao Gang, then disappeared into the mist.
Brock handed Celebi to Ash: "Ash, put Celebi in the lake to heal."
Ash carried Celebi into the lake, and ripples spread out in circles.
The moment Celebi's body touched the lake water, its breathing became deeper and longer, and its previously pale face regained its green glow.
Its wings were slightly open, as if they were being lifted up by the moisture.
Celebi slowly opened her eyes.
It looked around and saw Xiaozhi, Xuecheng, and Xiaogang and Xiaoxia standing on the shore watching it with concern.
She chuckled softly.
"Celebi, I'm so glad you're alright." Ash lifted it out of the water.
Celebi flew into the air, circled each person once, then flew in one direction and glanced back at them.
A red berry tree stands in a clearing in the woods, its branches laden with plump red berries, each one glistening with moisture.
Celebi picked one and handed it to Ash.
Xiao Zhi took it and took a bite; the sweet and sour juice exploded in his mouth.
He handed the fruit to everyone, and each person tasted one.
"Delicious!" Xiaoxia's eyes lit up.
Xuecheng also took a bite: "It tastes much better than the fruit sold in the city."
Everyone sat under the hawthorn tree, sharing the fruit.
Celebi sat on Ash's lap, munching on a berry, its wings occasionally fluttering gently as if expressing contentment.
The wind blew through the woods, brushing against everyone's face.
That night, they settled down by the Lake of Life.
A campfire was lit, its light illuminating a small area around it.
Celebi lay in a small nest made of dry moss and hay, covered with a large leaf.
Ash and his friends sat together, talking in moderate voices, with occasional bursts of laughter.
Celebi turned over in his sleep.
The next morning, while they were having breakfast, Bishas came again.
Tyranitar, Scizor, Weavile, and Houndoom appeared simultaneously from four directions, cutting off all escape routes.
Ash immediately jumped up and released Meganium, Rockruff, and Totodile. Pikachu also jumped in front of him, its tail standing up with electric sparks jumping on its cheeks.
Xiaoxia released Starmie and Staryu, Xiaogang released Forretress, and Xuecheng twisted open the old-fashioned Poké Ball to release Charmeleon.
"Cyndaquil, Flamethrower!"
The Fire Rock Rat opened its mouth and spewed out a pillar of orange-red fire.
"Germania, Leaf-Slicing Blade!"
With a flick of its corolla, the geranium released leaf-shaped green energy that spun out.
"Little Sawtooth, water gun!"
The baby alligator opened its mouth and shot out a thin jet of water.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
Golden lightning crackled from Pikachu's cheeks.
Bishas's voice came through the loudspeaker:
"Mavila, Blizzard. Houndoom, Flame Vortex."
A white, icy wind and snowy mist swept in, while swirling vortexes of flame surged forth.
The blizzard and fire vortexes intertwined and advanced forward, intercepting the jet flames, flying leaf blades, and water guns in mid-air.
"Scizor, Hyper Beam."
The Scizor's pincers simultaneously glowed with an orange-yellow light, and two beams of destructive energy shot out in a crisscross pattern.
"Starfish, water cannon!" The core of the starfish lit up with blue light, and a jet of water gushed out.
"Gem Starfish, enhance your spiritual power!" The core of the gem starfish glowed with a pinkish-purple light.
"Foretrus, cannon beam!" Foretrus's shell shone with a silvery-white luster.
The water cannon, the psychic attack, and the beam cannon all collided with the destructive death ray, creating a shockwave in the air.
Bangilas roared, and the ground began to tremble.
The sharp rocks pierced through the ground, dozens of sharp rocks exploding from all directions like fingers reaching out from hell.
Ash and his friends' Pokémon were all blown away.
Ash clenched his fist. "Everyone, we absolutely cannot let Celebi get captured!"
The Cyndaquil's body was completely enveloped in flames, its Blaze ability was fully activated, and its body swelled up in the flames.
As the light faded, the Firestorm Beast appeared, radiating a scorching aura.
The little saw-allergy's body glowed with a light blue light as it hopped and jumped, its body stretching as it leaped.
The blue crocodile landed on the ground and let out a powerful roar.
The Firestorm Beast charged out.
Flame Charge, its golden-red flames completely enveloping its body, hurtled towards Mavila like a shooting star.
Flame Charge slammed into Weavile, sending it flying and knocking it unconscious.
The blue crocodile's body was enveloped by the water, and the waterfall surged up from the ground, crashing into the black crocodile.
Houndoom's body was sent flying sideways by the impact, crashing into a rock and sliding down.
Pikachu's cheeks erupted with dazzling golden lightning, and thunder struck from the sky, a thick column of electricity hitting Scizor.
The scyther's body trembled violently, its pincers drooped, and its gaze was unfocused.
The geranium's neck and corolla opened towards the sky, and the blazing sunlight shot towards Tyranitar. Tyranitar also opened its mouth and fired a destructive beam.
Two thick beams of light, one emerald green and the other orange, collided in mid-air, and the shockwave from the energy explosion ripped open the surrounding ground.
"Go, Charizard!" Yukinari clenched his fist.
Charmeleon charged forward, its body expanding in the light as it ran.
The fire-breathing dragon suddenly spread its wings, flapped them to take off, and deep blue flames gathered deep in its throat, burning away completely.
The mechanical crab was hit by the blue flames and exploded instantly.
Bishas fell from the cockpit and crashed heavily to the ground.
"Damn it!" His voice turned hoarse and frantic, like a wild beast driven to the brink of despair making its last stand. "Celebi is mine!"
He struggled to his feet, pointing his right hand at Bangalore: "Bangalore, kill them!"
The dark purple light in Tyranitar's eyes suddenly surged, and it opened its mouth again, unleashing a sweeping orange beam of Hyper Beam.
The Pokémon were just celebrating when they were caught in the Death Ray before they could even reorganize their defenses.
Xiao Zhi clenched his fist and stood at the very front.
A blue light shone from his right fist.
"Looks like I have no choice but to use the trick that Brother Shuwen taught me!"
He rushed out.
Tyranitar was lowering its head to prepare for its next Hyper Beam when Ash was already in front of it.
His right fist swung diagonally upwards from below, the fist striking Tyranitar's jaw with a blue arc of light.
At the moment of contact, Bangiras's entire head was thrown upwards by the enormous impact.
Its enormous body lifted off the ground, flew backward, and only stopped after crashing into a tree that was as thick as a person's embrace.
The tree canopy crashed down, branches and leaves flew everywhere, and Bangilas was embedded among the broken tree trunk, his eyes rolled back, and he was completely unconscious.
Xuecheng's eyes widened: "Xiaozhi!"
Xiaoxia covered her mouth: "Without realizing it, Xiaozhi... has actually already reached the level of a Fighting Master in terms of destructive power."
Ash landed back on the ground, his right hand trembling slightly, with several tiny cracks on the back of his hand.
He didn't give Bangiras a second glance, and turned to walk towards Bishas.
Just as Bishace was struggling to get up, Ash kicked him in the chest, stomping him back to the ground.
He pulled a rope from his backpack, flipped Bishas over, tied him up, and bound his arms behind his back in a tight knot to make sure he couldn't move.
"You can stay here."
The fog has lifted.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the tree canopy, falling onto the surface of the Lake of Life.
Celebi flew to Ash and rubbed its cheek against him.
Xiao Gang stepped forward, looked at Sherabi, and said:
"Celebi, I think you need to take Xuecheng back to your time to prevent more people with ulterior motives from coming to find you."
Celebi looked at him quietly for a moment, then nodded gently.
Xuecheng stood by the lake, backpack on his back, Charmeleon already back in its Poké Ball.
He turned to look at Ash and the others, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something.
Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "Xue Cheng, as long as you believe, we will meet again."
Xuecheng nodded.
Celebi flew to Xuecheng's side and took his hand.
A white light shone from Celebi's body, and a song echoed through the forest.
The white light intensified, engulfing Xuecheng and Sherabi's figures.
Xuecheng and Xuelabi disappeared, leaving only ripples gently spreading across the lake.
