Forty years later, the same Pokémon poacher, now aged, is in a confrontation with [[Vicious]], a member of [[Team Rocket]] who lives up to his name. It is here that Vicious demonstrates a [[Dark Ball]], using it on one of the Pokémon the poacher has caged up, a {{p|Tyranitar}}. Using the now {{TCG|Dark Pokémon|Dark}} Tyranitar's {{m|Hyper Beam}}, Vicious destroys the ranch, and apparently the cages, of the poacher. Finally convinced of the Rocket member's power, the poacher agrees to tell him where exactly the Celebi he had seen was sighted forty years before.

At the same time, in a nearby town, [[Brock]] and [[Misty]] are waiting for Ash to arrive at the dock of one of the many ferries they've taken across the waterways of the regions. Brock sends out his {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} to find Ash and tell him that it's just about time for them to leave, just as Ash starts a [[Pokémon battle]] with another trainer, using his {{AP|Pikachu}} against the trainer's {{p|Croconaw}}. Pikachu defeats Croconaw easily, just as Crobat shows up, and Ash and Pikachu make a run for the dock, arriving just in time to see the ferry begin to pull away. Ash runs for a dock nearer to where the ferry is, jumping for it and being caught by the boat's owner. After being dragged on board, the Trainers and owner talk Pokémon.

It is during this that {{AP|Pikachu}} sees another Pokémon in the forest, {{p|Suicune}}. As soon as they arrive at their next destination, Ash makes a call to the modern Professor Oak, who explains to them from Ash's description that it indeed was a Suicune. From the description Oak gives the young Trainers, it seems that Oak himself knows more about Suicune specifically than the experts, leading Ash to ask if he ever has seen one. The Professor replies affirmatively, and Ash asks where he did. Before Oak can reply, the ferry's owner calls for Ash, telling him that they must leave. Ash says goodbye quickly, and goes with him.

Soon, traveling in the forest, the four see the destruction wreaked by Vicious's giant mech, and Sammy and Ash find where Celebi is hiding. However, the time travel Pokémon appears not to want their help, sending out a {{m|Vine Whip}} to get them away. Pikachu prepares to {{m|ThunderShock}} it, but Sammy prevents it from doing so. Soon, Ash and Sammy are able to, together, soothe Celebi and bring it with them.

Team Rocket, not yet having given up, are waiting for them, and block their path back. Saying their motto, as they always do, causes {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} to fall down onto the already-unstable branch they stand on, though, and causes it to break, sending them to the ground, and allowing the four trainers to continue.

Just as Ash says that the town where the old woman and Diana live together is close, Vicious attacks, sending out his Dark Tyranitar against the trainers. Using its Hyper Beam again, he very nearly hits them, however, they are able to escape, partly due to the intervention of {{TP|James|Weezing}}'s {{m|SmokeScreen}}. It is at this point where all of the Team Rocket members meet. Vicious demonstrates to them his Dark Pokémon, sending out his Dark {{p|Sneasel}} and Dark {{p|Scizor}} as well, and sends the two Pokémon after the group of four.

Misty causes the group to stop due to twisting her knee, and both of the Dark Pokémon catch up. Ash prepares to battle, taking out one of his [[Poké Ball]]s, and Sammy does as well. Sammy's Poké Ball is different, though; instead of being a red-and-white color like Ash's, it has a greyish color to it, and must be unscrewed on the top before sending out his Pokémon of choice, a {{p|Charmeleon}}. Ash, now over the surprise of Sammy's strange Poké Ball, throws his own, sending out {{AP|Bayleef}}. Thus begins a battle, Bayleef vs Scizor, Charmeleon vs Sneasel. Both of the trainers' Pokémon are able to defeat Vicious's, just as the man himself, with his teammates, arrives. However, all he finds left by the trainers are his Pokémon, tied up.

Ash and the group continue in the forest, which grows foggy. Leading them through are several {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon, who bring them to a lake. Sammy brings Celebi in, and it dives underwater, using {{m|Recover}}. Now fully healed, the Pokémon plays with the group a bit, and Ash turns his hat backward and jumps in, followed by Sammy. The three of them swim for a bit, then fly through the air with the help of Celebi's {{t|Psychic}} powers. Celebi soon leads all four of them to a [[Berry]] tree, and everything seems well for a bit.

Eventually, with Suicune's help, Ash and Sammy save Celebi from Vicious, however, it is too late, and just as they bring Celebi back to the lake, however, Celebi still withers, and even though it is put into the lake after it has been cleaned by Suicune, dies.

All is not lost, though, as due to the tears of both the Pokémon and the trainers, many Celebi appear from a time warp in the sky, and together, heal Celebi with their powers.

However, again, Vicious returns, taking Celebi once more. This time, as he rockets away, Ash grabs him and holds on tight, climbing up as he attempts to kick him off, going ever higher. Eventually, Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the evil man, causing the jetpack he was wearing to explode, and he, Ash, and Pikachu to fall back to Earth. Celebi comes to the rescue of Ash and Pikachu, though, and helps them safely return to their friends. Vicious falls through the trees, eventually reaching the ground, losing his helmet and Dark Pokémon, and having to face the wrath of the old woman and several {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon, all of which use {{m|String Shot}} to tie him up.

* This movie causes a [[Wikipedia:predestination paradox|causal loop]] and a [[Wikipedia:Grandfather paradox|grandfather paradox]]. If Sammy was 40 years ahead of time in the future, how could his present self have given Ash his Pikachu, or caused Ash to go out on his journey with a Pokémon at all, if there was any doubt of him getting back? As well, could Ash have only gotten his Pikachu because Oak thought ahead in the beginning to capture a Pikachu specifically for him, after that adventure? As most trainers do not have more than one starter Pokémon, and Sammy clearly saw Ash's Bayleef, knowing that he would be receiving a Pokémon from him, as Ash grew up, would have caused Oak to either go with the [[Johto]] starters or to capture the Pikachu that would become Ash's ahead of time. As the latter, rather than the former, was the case, perhaps this is exactly what happened.

* The events depicted in this movie may have influenced the [[GameCube]] games [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. Vicious had [[Dark Ball]]s which corrupted Pokémon captured in them. These dark Pokémon were probably a precursor to [[Shadow Pokémon]]. Also, Celebi plays a key role in both these games and the movie.
