Eloise and the Voice of the Forest

chapter 11

Once the lake was purified, Akito placed Celebi in it.

"The legend's true," Ixta told the others. "Suicune can save the lake. Let's see if it can also save Celebi."

"Celebi..." Akito gently called. "That water's clean again, you're gonna be okay."

Nothing seemed to happen however.

"It isn't working." Towa frowned.

"But why?" Eloise pouted.

"I don't know, but I'm not giving up!" Akito said firmly as he held Celebi like a baby and sat on the surface with his legs crossed and took out a cherry. "Celebi, remember this? You love this!" he then tried to feed it to Celebi, but its mouth wouldn't even open. "Wake up! Wake up!...Wake up..." he then sounded like he was going to have an emotional breakdown.

"I've never seen Akito like this." Vincent said.

"Oh, poor Akito...." Emi was worried about the boy she loved.

"Celebi, you can't die!" Akito's eyes squeezed shut as tears seemed to slip out from them. "Please, just wake up!"

Larvitar started to tear up as well and where Tyranitar began to comfort his son. Teddy sniffled and the Ursaring and wild Teddiursa comforted him with Estelle. Emi hugged her brother tightly as they both cried while Pikachu nuzzled against them. Duck cried the loudest out of all the mourning Loonatics.

"Celebi didn't do anything wrong," Sam said, trying to be strong. "It was a human being who wanted 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 because Celebi's gonna die!"

"This can't be the end for Celebi." Eloise frowned.

"I'm sorry, Eloise, but I'm afraid it might be." Ixta said to the six-year-old girl.

"No..." Eloise fell to her knees and put her hands to her eyes as she was now crying too.

Ditto frowned as he was on her head. This was certainly a sad day for all. The wild Pokemon and Suicune cried for their friend and where there was soon a greenish glow.

"What's going on?" Togepi chirped.

Everyone looked up to the skies to see a bright glow.

"I don't know." Pikachu muttered.

They soon saw many Celebi coming down from the sky.

"Grandma..." Diana muttered.

"I know that sound," Towa replied. "It's the voice of the forest."

The Celebi all sang in harmony as they came down from the sky to bring harmony back into the woods. And where they soon came over to Celebi to bring it back to life. Celebi was lifted out of Akito's arms and was circled by the other Celebi. There was then a white and golden glow which captivated everyone in sight. Celebi was then healed and then opened its eyes before flying and looked to see its true friends. No one could believe what they were seeing.

"Celebi's all better." Ixta smiled.

The others gently laughed and smiled once Celebi was cured.

"The spirits of the future and past can travel through time as well," Towa smiled proudly. "Of all kind."

"They must've sensed that their friend was in trouble," Felicity suggested. "And now they are here to help."

"I'm glad that they came." Estelle smiled.

"We all are." Jenny smiled back to her pen pal.

After Celebi was better, the other Celebi's all then went back to their own times.
