Chapter 274 274: The Truth of the Time Ripple
"Mr. Sam, do you mean that the culprit who caused all the plants in Crown City to wither overnight twenty years ago was Kotai?!"
Rin and Carl's voices trembled.
"That's right," Sam said seriously. "And if Kotai steals the Time Ripple again, all the plants in Crown City will wither just like they did twenty years ago."
After realizing the seriousness of the situation, Carl took a deep breath and asked, "Mr. Sam, there are many countdown clocks in Crown City. Which one are you referring to?"
"Mr. Carl, if I remember correctly, there's a clock tower in Crown City that you personally built. If my guess is correct, the Time Ripple should be hidden there."
Meanwhile, after a long search through Crown City, Kotai had finally discovered the location of the final clock tower.
"Mr. Gu Liu, I'll leave Sam to you," Kotai said with a greedy smile. "All I want is the Time Ripple. Once I get it, Celebi will be yours."
Gu Liu nodded calmly on the surface, though inwardly he sneered with contempt.
From the very beginning, he had looked down on Kotai—a man who cared only for himself and treated life as worthless.
The two of them were merely using each other.
Kotai wanted the Time Ripple.
Pryce wanted Celebi.
As for whether the other person actually achieved their goal afterward… neither of them truly cared.
Without the Time Ripple, Celebi would lose its ability to travel through time and space. A Celebi trapped in one era was useless to Gu Liu.
And Pryce no longer had much time left.
For the sake of his Lapras, he had to capture Celebi as quickly as possible.
Now that the destination had been confirmed, Sam wasted no time. Bringing Celebi and the others with him, he immediately rushed toward the target location.
In order to reach the final clock tower before Sam and the others, Kotai sent his subordinates to intercept them.
"Brother Sam, leave these guys to us!"
Ash stared firmly at the poachers blocking the road.
"Then I'm counting on you, Ash."
It seemed Kotai had already learned the location of the Time Ripple as well. They had to hurry.
The information gap was the reason Sam felt so anxious. If he knew Pryce was currently beside Kotai, he probably wouldn't be nearly as nervous.
When it came to the Time Ripple, Sam and Pryce actually shared the same objective.
Both of them wanted Celebi to absorb the Time Ripple and regain its ability to travel through time and space.
"Come out, Charizard!"
Running on foot was far slower than flying.
A flash of red light appeared, and a towering Charizard landed before everyone.
"What an amazing Charizard…"
Ash couldn't help but admire it.
As someone who also owned a Charizard, he could immediately tell how extraordinary Sam's Charizard was. Whether it was size, aura, or sheer presence, it far surpassed his own.
For a moment, Ash couldn't help feeling a little envious.
"Ash, focus!"
After commanding his Pokémon to block an incoming attack, Brock shouted loudly,
"Now's not the time to get distracted! Hurry up and deal with the enemies in front of us!"
Ash finally snapped back to reality, quickly refocused, and threw himself into battle against Kotai's subordinates.
While the fighting erupted there, another crisis was unfolding elsewhere in the city.
Zoroark, who had finally escaped from Kotai, had run into even more trouble.
Because of the chaos caused by Zoroark disguising itself as the three Legendary Beasts throughout Crown City, the real Entei, Raikou, and Suicune—the guardians of the city and servants of Ho-Oh—had appeared.
Unlike ordinary Legendary Pokémon, these guardians were incredibly rare Shiny Pokémon.
If Sam had witnessed the scene up close, even he would have been stunned.
Watching them in a movie was one thing.
Seeing them in reality was something entirely different.
Shiny Pokémon were unbelievably rare in the real world. During his entire journey, aside from Gengar, Sam had barely encountered any.
And now, three Shiny Legendary Pokémon had appeared at once.
Even from high above on Charizard's back, Sam noticed the massive battle taking place elsewhere in the city.
But he couldn't afford to stop now.
The top priority was reaching the Time Ripple and restoring Celebi's strength.
"It's okay," Sam said softly.
Celebi trembled nervously in his arms, clearly having sensed Pryce's presence once again.
The fear Pryce had left in Celebi's heart was simply too deep. Every time it thought about him, its body instinctively shook with fear.
