Chapter 12: Back to Life

"Oh my god!" Misty gasped.

"It's wilting!" Mikey covered his mouth.

"Quick, the water! Get it into the water!" Brock said.

I got down on my knees and placed Celebi into the lake water. Hoping that the Lake of Life would work its magic again. But after a few seconds, I looked at the horizon. I sensed that the magic in the lake was gone. "It's not working." I shook my head and my ears went down.

"Why not?" Misty asked.

"The forest is hurt. The water's tainted. The lake is dying." Towa said softly.

"It's been touched by human hands that were evil." Donnie looked down.

"But that would mean... wait a second. Suicune has the power to make the water clean again." Diana said as we all looked at Suicune.

"So Suicune is a natural water filter?" Mikey asked.

"Most likely." Donnie said.

"Suicune, if you clean the water... we can save Celebi." Akira said to it.

"Please Suicune. Help us." I pleaded.

"Cune!" it cried out and emitted its magic and started jumping across the water. With each jump it took, a magical ripple was in its place. After the whole lake glowed its natural blue color, the water was crystal clear. It was back in its original state.

"Whoa... that was amazing." Donnie smiled.

"The legend's true." White said.

"The north wind saved the lake." Diana smiled.

I sat in the edge of the lake and placed Celebi into the lake once again. "Celebi, the water's clean again." I said to it. But alas, no avail. "But..."

"It's still not working."

"Why? The water's clean and everything. Right..?" Mikey asked.

"No. No! I refuse to give up!" I said as I brought Celebi out of the water. "We have to keep trying!"

"But how?" Ash asked.

"Give me your berries Ash."

"What?"

"Your berries! I need all of them now."

"Oh yeah." he said as he took out the berries from his pocket last night. "Here."

I took one and placed it near Celebi's mouth. "Look Celebi, during our adventure with you we went berry picking. Here, have one." I said as I was feeding the berry to it but I dropped it into the water. "Oh. It's okay. Have another one."

"Sis..." Akira said sadly.

"Please Celebi." I kept trying to feed it berries but I kept dropping them into the water.

"Babe..." Leo also said sadly.

"Celebi..." I sniffled as it still wouldn't take it. "No... No!" I teared up really badly, and I knew that it really was too late. "Celebi you can't die!" I cried out.

"This can't be! My poor fairy friend!" Mikey cried. "And Celebi was our only chance to go home too!"

"This can't be happening..." Misty cried while Ash hugged her.

"Celebi didn't even do anything wrong. It was a human being who forced Celebi to destroy the forest. Celebi never even had a choice. And now... it can't have a choice. Now it's too late to choose 'cause Celebi is gonna die!" Akira cried out the loudest and banged her fist at the water.

We were all shedding our tears, knowing that our dear friend Celebi that we loved had passed away into my arms. But I was the most devastated and I definitely knew that my vow was broken which made me cry the hardest.

"Aroo!" I howled sadly to the air.

As I howled out in heartbreak and failure, I heard many of the forest Pokemon calling out too including Suicune. But then, a bright golden light was appearing out of the sky which made us all look up.

"Whoa. Guys look." Raph said in awe.

"Grandma. What's that sound?" Diana asked Towa.

"I know that sound. The Voice of the Forest." she said.

As we were looking up at the golden light, we witnessed thousands of Celebi flying down towards us. It was a beautiful sight to see. I was so caught up by the beauty of the other Celebi, I looked down to see that they were levitating their dead friend up in the air from my arms. As we watched them all circling around our dead friend, their magic had done its job. They rejuvenated Celebi back to life!

"Bi... bi..?" Celebi looked down at us.

I gasped in awe and disbelief. "I have to be dreaming. Somebody pinch me." I dried my tears.

"Okay." Mikey and Akira said at the same time and they both pinched me by my arms.

"Ouch. Okay, this isn't a dream." I smiled big as I rubbed my arms and wagged my tail a lot.

"Bi bi!" Celebi cried out happily.

"The spirits of the future and the past can travel through time as well... and so they've all come." Towa smiled.

"They've must've sensed that their friend was in trouble." Akira said.

"And now they're here to help." I smiled happily.

"Bi! Bi! Bi!" Celebi waved to all of the other Celebi that flew back up to the golden light to go back to their past and future times.

"And off to home they go." Leo smiles as he hugged me.

"Thank you!" I called out to the spirits that saved our friend. And we all cheered in delight knowing that Celebi was alive and well.

"Bi bi!" Celebi called out and flew over to us.

Just then, something came out of the water and grabbed Celebi.

"It's the hunter!" Akira gasped.

"And now I have everything I need to rule the world!" the hunter laughed as he was ready to blast off.

"Oh no you don't! Not from us!" Leo said as he grabbed his grappling hook and wrapped the wire around him.

"Give Celebi back!" I growled and trudged through the water after him.

"Sis!" Akira ran after me.

"See ya." he laughed and blasted off.

"No!" I grabbed onto his leg and saw my sister grab his other leg and we saw ourselves blasting off with him.

"Babe! Akira!" the boys called out from the ground.

"Get off me!" the hunter tried to shake us off.

"Ah! Never! Give it back!" I growled. "Sis, I got an idea! Use your secret weapon!"

"Oh yeah! I can finally use it!" Akira laughed and took out what looked like a bomb. She placed it onto his jet pack. "Get ready for impact!" she said.

"No wait!" the hunter pleaded.

"Now!" she pressed a button.

The bomb exploded onto the jet pack and then the next thing we knew, we were all falling down.

"Ahh!" the hunter cried out as he fell first.

"Sis, I forgot to mention this." Akira started.

"What?"

She inhaled her breath and yelled out, "I HATE FALLING!!!"

"Ahh! Sis! I gotcha!" I reached out to her and held her hands. I shut my eyes and braced for the fall until I felt myself floating once again.

"Ehh? We didn't fall?" Akira asked.

"Huh, no." I looked over.

"Bi!" Celebi flew over to us.

"Celebi!" I giggled as we were saved.

"This is why I love you Celebi." Akira laughed as we were flying back down to the others.

"Girls!" Leo and Raph called out to us.

"Whoo!" I giggled as we flew together hand in hand.
