Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 246 Bannayi

"Hello, why are you looking at me?"

Looking at Shijiana who was asking him with a smile on her face, Shota looked at the super anklet on her foot and said:

"I'm very interested in what's on your feet, can you give it to me?"

"Eh? It's not good to ask for someone's things on the first meeting, right?"

"Really? Never mind."

As he said this, Shouta slowly moved away from Shijiana.

"What a strange guy."

Looking at Shota walking away, the smile on Hitana's face disappeared and she fell into thought.

Shota doesn't care about what's going on in Shijiana's mind at the moment, because he has discovered a talented person among the crowd.

"Hey, you, yes, you, are you willing to be under my command?"

Shota spoke as he looked at the Magma Team member who had dark purple hair, a muscular body, and an orange knife-shaped hairstyle at his bangs.

"I will be at your service, sir."

After receiving a positive answer, Banay stood up excitedly, saluted Shota and spoke.

Before Team Magma was disbanded, Bannay was a member of Team Magma. After Team Magma was disbanded, he became a Phantom Thief. Due to his superb disguise ability, he was called the Man of a Thousand Faces.

In "Floating Bubbles at the Weather Research Institute!", he disguised himself as Millie to gain the trust of the members of the Weather Research Institute. When the Marines forced the members of the Institute to hand over the ancient Pokémon data, he and Xiaozhi copied the data and successfully escaped.

In Phantom Thief Bannay and the Ribbon Trophy!!, he stole the ribbon trophy of the grand Hoenn Festival. On the ship, he disguised himself as many people to hide his identity. During this time, Xiaozhi and his friends and Junsha used the golden Poké Ball to lure Bannay out, but the plan to capture Bannay ended in failure. In the end, he learned that the ribbon trophy was not worth much, so he returned the trophy to Junsha and ran away.

It is worth noting that after leaving the Magma Team, the tattoo under his left eye changed from red to green.

Back to the topic, after getting Bannai's reply, Shota once again selected a few more people, and these people all looked relatively young.

In a room with a special office engraved with Firelight, Shota took out a golden Poké Ball from his backpack, which was marked with the GS logo.

"Bannay, take this ball. Go to the oak forest in the Johto region and I'll catch a Pokémon. This is his hand-painted picture."

As he spoke, Shota handed a hand-painted picture to Banner. When Banner looked at the Pokémon in the hand-painted picture with a look of amazement, Shota continued to speak:

"If you want to lure this Pokémon out, you may need to place this ball in the Oak Forest Shrine. Of course, if that doesn't work, just come back."

"Also, take this Poké Ball. The Dragonite inside will assist you."

After Shota finished speaking, Bannay stood up excitedly and said:

"Boss, if my guess is correct, the Pokémon in this hand-painted picture should be Celebi. Although I don't know why you want to catch him, but, um, I heard that he seems to have the power to travel through time and space. In other words, even if I do what you say, it will be difficult for me to catch him."

With the other two members of Team Magma looking confused, Shota once again took out a purple-black Poké Ball from his backpack and said:

"This is a Master Ball. It can catch Pokémon of a certain level. The upper limit is probably around 60-70, depending on the situation. I guess this Celebi's level won't be too high."

After saying this, Shota paused and continued:

"Besides the help I provide you, you also have an external aid, a short Pokémon that looks like a human. He should be waiting for you when you get there."

"So, do you have any questions?"

Bannai shook his head and said, "Make sure to complete the task!"

The other two somewhat confused members of the Lava Team saw Bannayi's look and followed suit and nodded.

"If there is no doubt, let's go now."

"Yes!"

……

After the trio set off, Shota was still sitting in his office, but he had a few more photos in his hands, one of which was a man wearing a strange mask, another was a seriously injured and dying Celebi, and the last one was a Suicune.

This is the photo that Machado sent him a few months ago. Due to his busy overall plan, Shota missed the plot of the movie "Celebi: Time Travel Encounter".

The plot of this movie is inextricably linked to Oki Yukinari:

40 years ago, a little boy named Xue Cheng came to a huge forest. When he entered the forest, a kind girl named Yongjiu reminded him: "If you hear the sound of the forest, don't move." From Yongjiu, Xue Cheng learned about the guardian of the forest. Later, Xue Cheng met Celebi who was hiding from hunters. Xue Cheng tried his best to protect Celebi, but because of Celebi's power to travel through time and space, he and Celebi came to the world 40 years later.

At this time, Xiaozhi and his friends set out to another city to participate in the Johto League Tournament. On the way, they were invited by White to go to White's village. This village is where Yongjiu is. Xiaozhi and his friends accidentally met Yongjiu who has grown old. Yongjiu also reminded them about the forest. Not long after, Xiaozhi encountered the "forest sound" phenomenon caused by Celebi's time travel in the forest, and met Xuecheng who traveled through time and space.

After Yongyuan and Xuecheng met, Xiaozhi and his group learned about Celebi's time travel. Afterwards, Xiaozhi and his group and Xuecheng found the injured Celebi. The Rocket Team's strongest cadre, Bixias, found the hunter who hunted Celebi 40 years ago, and learned from the hunter where Celebi was. Bixias then launched a capture operation against Celebi. Bixias not only has a powerful four-legged robot, but also holds a dark ball. None of the Pokémon caught by the ball can escape, and they will become extremely fierce.

Xiaozhi and Xuecheng encountered Bixias on the way to treat Celebi. After working together to defeat Bixias's Pokémon, they ran away with Celebi. During the escape, a rumbly suddenly appeared. It, the baby bear and other wild Pokémon led Xiaozhi and his friends forward, and finally came to the front of the Lake of Life. After Xuecheng put Celebi into the Lake of Life, Celebi's injuries healed.

After Celebi recovered, he played with Xiaozhi and his friends, and Xiaozhi became good friends with Xue Cheng. One night later, Xiaozhi and his friends encountered Bixias again. Celebi was caught by Bixias's dark ball, became violent, and began to destroy the forest crazily under Bixias's manipulation.
