Ilex Forest first appeared in ''[[PS103|You Ain't Nothin' But A Houndour]]'', where a tree-cutter was doing his shift for the day. When {{adv|Gold}} arrived at the forest, he saw the tree-cutter and his {{p|Farfetch'd}} unconscious. A mysterious voice then told Gold to stay away, before revealing itself as the [[Masked Man]]. Gold engaged in a {{pkmn|battle}} with the Masked Man, and was about to be defeated when the Masked Man saw that the [[Ilex Forest shrine|forest's shrine]] started to glow. However, the glow faded before the Masked Man could reach it, after which he left the forest. | |||

To Will and Karen's surprise, Green had managed to overcome her {{wp|ornithophobia}} by {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} the {{adv|Legendary birds}}, which she sent out to battle {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Meanwhile, Gold contronted the Masked Man as he was en route to the forest after stealing the recipe of the [[GS Ball]] from [[Kurt]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. During the battle, Gold managed to shatter his mask, revealing his true identity as [[Pryce]] of the [[Mahogany Gym]]. When [[Pika]] and [[Chuchu]] intervened in the battle, Gold was forced to give up fighting so he could protect the two {{p|Pikachu}} and their {{pkmn|Egg}}. After Pryce had escaped, the Egg hatched in Gold's hands, revealing a {{p|Pichu}}, whom Gold [[nickname]]d [[Pibu]] and left with to pursue Pryce. | ||

They witnessed countless Pokémon, sent to the [[Azalea Town]] [[Pokémon Center]] via the [[Pokémon Storage System]], gathering to connect with Lugia and Ho-Oh, freeing them from the Masked Man's control. {{adv|Yellow}} then also arrived, having been chased by Neo Team Rocket members all the way to the forest, followed by {{adv|Crystal}}, who teleported to the forest with the help of the {{adv|Legendary beasts}}. With {{adv|Silver}} being present as well, the [[Pokédex holder]]s of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] joined to battle against Pryce, who used puppets made of ice to hold them off while he caught {{adv|Celebi}} as it emerged from the crack of time within the shrine and ordered it to [[time travel|transport]] him to the past. Riding the Legendary beasts, Gold, Silver, and Crystal pursued Pryce into the crack of time, where they found out that Pryce's plans as the Masked Man, including the establishment of [[Neo Team Rocket]] and the atrocities he and his underlings had committed, had all been in an effort to allow him to acquire Celebi and travel into the past to save his two {{p|Lapras}}, which had died in an accident before his eyes when he was younger. Using Pibu's "{{m|Volt Tackle|Super Rising Thunder}}" attack, Gold was able to destroy the GS Ball and set Celebi free. When Pryce started to hear the song "[[Boy and his Lapras]]", which his friends had made for him in his youth to cure him of his depression, and seeing the offspring of his two Lapras rejoining its parents in the past, he was finally able to let go of his anger, willingly leaving himself to float within the crack of time. | ||
Following Pryce's defeat, the Pokédex holders reunited in Ilex Forest. Blue intended to bring Silver to the police due to his [[PS093|theft]] of [[Professor Elm]]'s {{TP|Silver|Totodile}}, but Gold, who had given the police false testimony regarding Silver's appearance, told him to let him go, since he didn't look anything like the person in the {{wp|wanted poster}}. Gold subsequently departed with Red in order to train on [[Mt. Silver]], while the other Pokédex holders returned to their everyday lives. Will and Karen, meanwhile, encountered [[Koga]] and [[Bruno]], whom they joined as fellow people with experiences of having been on the wrong side of the law. | |||

In a flashback in ''[[PS458|All About Arceus VII]]'', Celebi was seen rescuing Pryce from the crack of time, only for him to be confronted by {{adv|Giovanni}} the moment he exited the shrine. Since Pryce had been responsible for kidnapping Giovanni's son, Silver, years earlier, Giovanni attacked him on sight, but the situation was prevented escalating by the arrival of [[Lance]], who had helped to organize Pryce's return. The reason for this was that, while floating in the crack of time, Pryce had foreseen a disaster that could destroy the [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]s. Giovanni, who had come to the forest to seek Celebi's help in curing his long-time illness, ordered the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]] to guard the forest and Celebi while he, Lance, and Pryce headed to the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] to stop the disaster from occuring. | |||
In ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', the Team Rocket Elite Trio encountered Gold's Pibu and a [[spiky-eared Pichu]], who were helping Celebi in gathering ingredients for Giovanni's medicine. Deeming the two Pokémon harmless, they resumed their patrol, only to be confronted by a group of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s, who had grown suspicious of their unexplained activity. When they spotted Celebi, they tried to capture it, but the trio helped Celebi to escape and told it to deliver the medicine to Giovanni at the [[Ruins of Alph]]. | |||

Ilex Forest appeared in ''[[GB08|For Pikachu's Sake!! The Search For The Missing Farfetch'd]]''. Soon after departing from [[Azalea Town]], {{GnB|Gold}} encountered a man who asked his help in finding his runaway {{p|Farfetch'd}}. [[Whitney]] then also appeared, agreeing to help if she received a cute Pokémon as a reward once she was done. However, since the man didn't have any Pokémon other than Farfetch'd, Whitney declared that she'd instead take [[Gold's Pikachu]] if she won, whereas Gold would get a {{badge|Plain}} from her if he won, surprising Gold with her [[Gym Leader]] status. | |||
The search for Farfetch'd commenced, with [[Gold's Pidgey]] and Whitney's {{p|Ditto}} soon locating it. Since they reached Farfetch'd simultaneously, Gold and Whitney decided to settle things with a {{pkmn|battle}}. The battle between [[Gold's Bayleef]] and [[Whitney's Miltank]] was called off when it almost resulted in Whitney's {{p|Cleffa}} being buried under falling rubble. Whitney blamed herself of having put her own Pokémon's safety at risk and said that she had lost. Gold, however, declared that he was the true loser, as he considered his strategy and {{pkmn|training}} skills inferior to hers. As such, Whitney then proceeded to claim Gold's Pikachu as her own, much to Gold's disagreement. Meanwhile, the Farfetch'd man was left alone, with Gold and Whitney having completely forgotten about their mission to return his Pokémon to him. | |||
