Celebi (Japanese: セレビィ Celebi) is a main character in Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark.
Prior to the movie, businessman Grings Kōdai discovered Celebi in Crown City, and touched the "ripple of time" that was produced due to Celebi's time traveling. As a result of this, Kōdai gained the ability to have powerful hallucinations that show him the future, while destroying all of the greenery within the city.
Twenty years later, Celebi returns to the city, unbeknown to the fact that Kōdai wished to capture it in order to renew his ability to see into the future. There, it meets and befriends Zorua while the latter was searching for its mother, Zoroark, who was being blackmailed by Kōdai.
Soon, Celebi finds itself and Zorua chased by Kōdai's minions. This pursuit forces them into the Pokémon Backer Stadium, where they are cornered by Kōdai, who disables Celebi and captures Zorua in order to blackmail Zoroark once more. Kōdai then finds what he believes to be the ripple of time, and begins to absorb its power. The "ripple of time" ends up being an illusion created by Zoroark, who attacks but is promptly defeated by the angry Kōdai. However, Celebi uses the power of the true ripple of time to heal Zoroark, who recovers and defeats Kōdai with the help of the guardians of Crown City.
