A man comes out saying that he is a Pokemon Hunter and throws a device at Celebi, but Celebi dodges it. Scyther and houndoom run after it.

A boy named Sammy walks towards a tunnel but a young woman stops him. She says that there is a legend called "The Voice of the Forest" and that you should stand still if you here it. The woman then gives Sammy a loaf of bread.

Sammy walks into the tunnel and into the forest. He picks up his sketchbook and starts to sketch the pokemon. Still running from Houndoom and Scyther, Celebi lets out a loud cry. The other wild pokemon start to run away. Sammy runs away with them and notices that Scyther pinned Celebi to the ground. Sammy tells them to let Celebi go. Celebi jumps into Sammy's arms. The Pokemon Hunter comes again and tells Sammy to give the Celebi to him. Sammy says no and starts to run away. Sammy sees the shrine and celebi lets out a cry again and Sammy and Celebi travel to the future.

40 years later...

We then see Misty and Brock. They are waiting for a boat ride but they can't leave Ash behind. The boat is about to leave so Brock sends out Crobat to look for Ash and Pikachu. Ash is in a pokemon battle between a trainer who claims to be the best in town. The trainer sends out a Croconaw but Ash's Pikachu zaps it and the trainer. Crobat tells Ash that the boat is about to leave and Ash hurries along. Ash is blocked by a car with lots of cargo. When it goes by the boat leaves. Ash makes a big jump and another guy catches him and pulls Ash onboard. The guy that caught Ash introduces himself as Maki. He says that he will take them to a place with lots of pokemon.

Meanwhile, a hunter named the Iron-Masked Marauder asks the hunter from 40 years ago where he saw the Celebi. The hunter doesn't say and the Iron-Masked Marauder goes outside. Sneasel goes to a cage where a Tyranitar is held and breaks the bars. The Iron-Masked Marauder takes out a Dark Ball and throws it at Tyranitar. Dark Balls make the pokemon evil. The Iron-Masked Marauder calls out Tyranitar and tells it to use Hyper Beam. It does and finally the hunter tells the Iron-Masked Marauder where he saw the Celebi.

During the ride, Ash and Pikachu see a Suicune. Everybody sees it and Suicune runs off. When they arrive at their destination, Ash calls Prof. oak and tells him that he saw a Suicune. Oak tells them that he saw a Suicune and that it has the ability to pure lakes. Maki tells them that they have to go and Ash hangs up. Maki and co. go on a boat. Meanwhile, Jessie, James, and Meowth are spying on them in a glider. Jessie stops pedaling and they crash.
