Jethro's Celebi

**Jethro's Celebi** (Japanese: **ジェスロのセレビィ** *Jiesuro's Celebi*) is a Mythical Pokémon that Pryce attempted to capture in order to obtain control over space and time. After Pryce's defeat at the hands of the Pokédex holders, Celebi was captured by Jethro and became his Pokémon out of its own free will.

## **History**

### **Johto**

Celebi was the object of the Masked Man's longing, and, the only Pokémon he could never manage to capture on his own. His dedication to acquire it for his plans was so strong that he would visit the shrine in the Ilex Forest to attempt to catch it, not being aware of the existence of the GS Ball's purpose. The Masked Man eventually completes the GS Ball using the Rainbow and Silver Winds and succeeds in opening the shrine and capturing Celebi. The Masked Man then used Celebi to take him back to a time where he lost something precious, his two Lapras. Miguel dives in after them in an attempt to save Celebi, and eventually manages to after help from the other Pokédex holders. After being released, Celebi succeeds in healing the pain in the Masked Man's heart.

### **Hoenn**

After the events with the Masked Man, Celebi purposely joined Jethro's team before he moved to Hoenn, although he didn't even know what Pokémon it was. Celebi was kept in its Poké Ball for most of his journey, and was only used to end the battle with Archie and Maxie by having it take the Red and Blue Orbs from them and breaking them into pieces. Using its time travel powers, Celebi brought the people who had lost their lives in the battle back to life. With its duty fulfilled, Celebi sent Jethro away to be with his friends and disappeared.

### **Arceus Arise**

Celebi sensed the destruction that Arceus would bring upon the Johto and Sinnoh, and released Pryce from the Crack of Time so he could help in the battle. Celebi was later seen collecting herbs to cure Giovanni's illness, and was assisted by a pair of Pichu, and the Team Rocket Elite Trio. It was soon attacked by several Team Rocket Grunts, but Ken, Al, and Harry managed to get the stolen herbs back from them, and urged Celebi to get to the Ruins of Alph immediately. Soon enough, they reached Giovanni, and Celebi gave its medicine to him, curing him from his long-time illness.

### **Time War**

Having sensed the upcoming threat caused by the Giovanni from an alternate future, Celebi was summoned by Future Edge to gather allies from across space and time. Celebi gathered Edge's younger alternate-self, Johto and Sinnoh, two people would eventually have two regions named after them due to their legacies.

After learning of Giovanni gathering more allies, Celebi, at Johto's suggestion, gathers his brothers Kanto and Hoenn to assist them in their battle against Giovanni and his minions. After Giovanni successfully erases all timelines from existence with his Time Bomb, along with their inhabitants, with the exception of Sinnoh, Celebi saves the girl from Giovanni's assault and brings her to its pocket dimension outside of space and time, where it confirms Giovanni erased all timelines from the multiverse, leaving Sinnoh as the last remaining being in the multiverse. Sinnoh sadly looks down, but regains a determined look on her face, ready to face whatever comes next. Celebi cryptically informs her that they will have to return "to the beginning". Celebi tells Sinnoh that they must "reboot" the timestream, and teleports itself and Sinnoh to the past. When Sinnoh checks her surroundings, she notices a young Edge playing with his Azurill at a nearby lake. Celebi then informs that as story occured, Edge nearly drowned, and Azurill evolved into Marill to save him, but notes that Edge isn't going anywhere near the lake to trigger the evolution, and tells Sinnoh to carefully make sure history unfolds as it originally did.

Summoning Mewtwo from its Ultra Ball, Sinnoh tells Mewtwo to prepare for the right moment, and use Psychic to send Edge falling into the lake. After a few minutes of wait, Edge trips over a rock, and Sinnoh tells Mewtwo to use Psychic, and Mewtwo successfully sends Edge flying into the lake, subsequently rebooting the timestream as Azurill evolves into Marill and rescues her Trainer, as history originally unfolded.

Celebi congratulates Sinnoh on reseting the timeline, but also tells her that it would also restart the Giovanni continuum, as Giovanni's plans would restart once again. Determined, Sinnoh asks Celebi their next move, and Celebi informs her that they needed to gather Future Edge, as he was currently the most intelligent and advanced Trainer out of all of them, and transports Sinnoh to Future Edge's world. When they arrive, Sinnoh and Celebi see Future Edge and his Darkrai battling against Shawn and his Glalie, and Celebi watches as Sinnoh and Future Edge successfully force Shawn to retreat.

As the battle restarts after Future Edge and Sinnoh re-gather their allies, Celebi uses its powers to undo the effects of the **Time Bomb**, restoring all of the other timelines and its Trainers, much to Giovanni's fury. Shawn attacks Giovanni for his betrayal, only to be knocked away by Latias as the other Trainers continue their fight. Celebi sends all the evil Trainers back to their own timelines. Left alone, Giovanni roars at Future Edge and his allies in anger. Then, Future Edge calls for Latias, Edge calls for Venusaur, Kanto calls for Zoroark, Hoenn calls for Regigigas, and Johto calls for Lugia. Together, they defeat Giovanni's Pokémon in a series of combination attacks, and Sinnoh delivering a powerful kick that knocks Giovanni out. With Giovanni and his Pokémon defeated, Future Edge handcuffs him and finally claims that his days with freedom are over, and vows to place him in a solitary cell for the rest of his life.

Victorious, Celebi prepares to send everyone back to their own timelines, and proper places in time. After bidding its goodbyes, Celebi remains with Future Edge at his timeline, as Future Edge's technology and advanced skills would help Celebi patrol the multiverse for any future threats.

## **Personality and Characteristics**

Celebi is shown to be a caring individual, even helping those that have done it harm. It has a strong sense of duty, and often goes across the world in order to help fix times of crisis.

Celebi is able to travel through time, with one way going through the Ilex Forest's shrine. It is able to fly using the pair of wings on its back. Celebi is also able to alter the timeline, having undone certain people's deaths during the crisis in Hoenn involving Groudon, Kyogre, Team Magma and Team Aqua.

Much like Mewtwo, Celebi uses its telepathy to speak with humans, and through Future Edge's studies, Celebi became known to not only be capable of travel through time, but also traveling through space and time, freely traveling towards alternate realities and even possessing its own personal pocket dimension outside of space and time.
