Ash and the others notice Celebi running off with the other Pokémon, and start to give chase, but find themselves surrounded by Goone's Pokémon, and then held in place and caged by Kodai's drone. Kodai appears on his hoverboard and confirms to Ash and the others that he can see the future, including the obstacles in his way, and asserts that all obstacles will be removed. The panels then close around the cage and Goone takes it back to the airship. Meanwhile, Celebi helps Zorua up a massive tree just outside the old part of the city, as Pikachu and Piplup follow. On a high-up branch, Zorua howls for its mother. Zoroark senses this and continues attacking the sides of her cage. Zorua becomes despondent and runs into a hole in the tree, but Celebi flies over and uses its powers to make a comforting nest for Zorua, which reminds it of its mother's fur and soothes it to sleep. | Ash and the others notice Celebi running off with the other Pokémon, and start to give chase, but find themselves surrounded by Goone's Pokémon, and then held in place and caged by Kodai's drone.

Rowena is looking through Kodai's files and finds that his most important files are locked behind a password, which she easily guesses. Amongst the files, Rowena finds various images of prophetic ancient texts regarding Celebi, of stainglass windows depicting Celebi and the Time Ripple, of the Time Ripple itself, and of sheets explaining Kodai's gadgets, such as his extending robotic arm. Rowena is then startled by a call from Goone instructing her to stay put. She then sees live video of the cage holding Ash and the others and decides to investigate. She introduces herself to Ash and the others as Kodai's executive secretary, but Karl recognizes her as a fellow investigative journalist. Rowena reveals that she is working undercover and has the complete files of everything she's learned about Kodai and his plans. She and the others then take a boat back into the city. On the way, she explains Kodai's plans to absorb the energy of the Time Ripple to rejuvenate his future visions. She explains that twenty years ago, Kodai received his powers by absorbing the energy of the Time Ripple with his robotic arm, but the flow of time energy reversed and caused all of the trees and flowers in the city to wither and die. | |||
Kodai checks the final countdown clock for the Time Ripple, but does not find it. However, a vision indicates to him that he needs to go after Celebi itself. As Zorua and the other Pokémon make their way down the big tree, Celebi is spotted by one of Kodai's remote camera drones. Kodai arrives on his hoverboard and tries to take Celebi using Shuppet's {{m|Psychic}}, but Shuppet is stopped by Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Three of Goone's Ninjask then attack Pikachu and Piplup using {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Zorua changes into Tangrowth and creates illusions of vines to hold back Shuppet and {{p|Mismagius}}, but Kodai cancels the illusions with his bracelet and instructs Shuppet to use Shadow Ball. Zorua takes the hit and collapses while calling out for its mother. Zoroark senses this and finally musters enough strength to break out of her cage. Meanwhile, the real Legendary beasts arrive in Crown City and are spotted by Tammy and Joe. Zoroark uses Night Daze to break out of its holding room and then leaps, bursting out the top of the airship. Back at the tree, Kodai grabs Celebi and once again sees a vision of himself absorbing the power of the Time Ripple. Zorua jumps on Kodai's head causing him to lose control of his hoverboard and crash into the ground along with Celebi. Kodai then furiously throws Zorua to the ground as well. | Kodai checks the final countdown clock for the Time Ripple, but does not find it.

On top of the airship, Zoroark is confronted by the real Legendary beasts, who are convinced that Zoroark is a threat to the city. The Legendary Pokémon all attack, causing the airship to explode. Zoroark emerges from the water | On top of the airship, Zoroark is confronted by the real Legendary beasts, who are convinced that Zoroark is a threat to the city. The Legendary Pokémon all attack, causing the airship to explode. Zoroark emerges from the water before blocking and dodging more attacks from the Legendary beasts. Back at the bottom of the tree, Kodai once again tries to grab Celebi, but Pikachu and Piplup stop him with a Thunderbolt and {{m|Bubble Beam}}, respectively. Goone calls on two of his Scizor, who send Pikachu and Piplup flying. However, they are saved by [[Dawn's Togekiss]] as Ash and the others arrive, including Rowena, as previously foreseen by Kodai. Pikachu forces Kodai and Goone away from Celebi and Zorua with Thunderbolt as Ash and Dawn run in to retrieve them, and Piplup uses Bubble Beam to hold back Goone's Ninjask as Ash and the others escape. Goone's other Pokémon begin to pursue but are blocked by the wild Pokémon of Crown City and their Bullet Seed. Ash and the others drive by on a motorboat and Pikachu destroys a remote camera drone with Thunderbolt as they head off down the river. Kodai then sends a small pen-sized spy drone to follow them. Meanwhile, Zoroark's battle with the three Legendary beasts gradually makes its way through the city. | ||
Ash and the others arrive at Joe's workshop and reunite with Tammy and Joe, who are both surprised to see Celebi again. Tammy and Joe are brought up to speed as Brock wraps Celebi's injured arm, while Zorua laments that it could not protect Celebi. Tammy and Joe reveal that they saw the Legendary beasts earlier, and that the Legendary Pokémon believe Zoroark is the real danger to Crown City. Zorua, worried for its mother, leaps for the door. Celebi attempts to follow it, but struggles to fly. Rowena assures that Celebi will be fine if they can get it to the Time Ripple, and explains that Kodai was looking for it by the countdown clocks, but has already searched them with no success. However, Joe reveals that he is the one who designed the countdown clocks and knows that there is one more in the Pokémon Baccer World Cup stadium. Listening through his spy drone, Kodai begins to head towards the stadium. Pikachu hears the spy drone as it begins to take off, and destroys it with Thunderbolt. Rowena identifies the drone as Kodai's, which alerts everyone to the fact that Kodai has heard everything they've said. Ash, his friends, and Zorua resolve to get Celebi to the stadium first. Brock leads the group through a shortcut in the sewers with the help of Bronzor, certain that this time they won't get lost. | |||
Zoroark finds herself surrounded by the Legendary beasts and uses her illusions to trap them in clusters of crystals. Karl and the others arrive and Rowena reveals the illusions with her canceler. Joe scolds Zoroark and Tammy shouts that the Legendary Pokémon have merely made a mistake. Joe's Mightyena then destroys the illusions. Mightyena, Tangrowth, and the wild Pokémon of Crown City put themselves between Zoroark and the Legendary beasts. Meanwhile, Ash and his friends emerge from the sewers near the stadium before spotting Kodai and Goone. Ash continues to the stadium with Celebi and Bronzor, while Dawn sends out Mamoswine and Brock sends out Croagunk and {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}. Goone is ordered to deal with Brock and Dawn, while Kodai heads for the stadium. As Kodai approaches frm behind, Ash tells Pikachu to use Thunderbolt while Kodai has Mismagius block it with {{m|Psywave}}. Ash then sends Celebi to fly to the Time Ripple with Bronzor as Kodai pursues. | |||

During Goone's battle with Brock and Dawn, Zoroark comes out of nowhere and attacks all of his Pokémon in a vengeful fury, knocking him and all his Pokémon out with ease. Kodai manages to catch up to Ash, and Celebi makes a run for it, only to be hunted down by Kodai. However, Celebi is revealed to be Zorua, flying with the aid of Karl's Bronzor. Both try their best to take Kodai down, but his Pokémon quickly knock out Bronzor, and Kodai uses the claw he intends to use to absorb the Ripple in time to capture Zorua. | |||

At the stadium, Ash lets the real Celebi out of his [[bag|backpack]] and they try to reach the Time Ripple. However, Kodai arrives and corners them, then making his way to the Time Ripple. Zoroark appears and charges at Kodai to take her revenge and reclaim her child, but the businessman forces Zoroark to stand down by threatening to kill the captured Zorua if she interferes, proving his point by shocking the young Pokémon in front of her. Kodai cruelly orders his Shuppet to finish off Zoroark as he approaches the Time Ripple and begins absorbing its power, not caring if the city's greenery will wither and die again. As the events that happened twenty years ago start to repeat themselves, Kodai gloats over his apparent victory to Ash. However, Zoroark suddenly smirks, and time appears to reverse itself. The Time Ripple Kodai had absorbed is revealed to be an illusion created by Zoroark to deceive him, allowing Karl and Rowena to capture Kodai's confession. Wondering how the illusion affected him, Kodai remembers that Zorua destroyed his illusion canceler when it bit him previously. While Kodai is distracted, Zorua manages to recover and desperately tries to reach its mother to reunite, but Kodai, furious at the deception, orders his Shuppet to attack Zorua from behind, only for Zoroark to take the attack to save her child. Before she can recover, Kodai cruelly attacks Zoroark with his claw, shocking her. Zoroark manages to fight through, attacking Kodai and defeating his Shuppet, destroying his claw in the process. Kodai, now desperate for the real Time Ripple, makes a run for it, but is stopped and scared away by the Legendary beasts, now knowing the true threat to the city. Zoroark's injuries soon become too painful for her to continue, causing her to collapse. | At the stadium, Ash lets the real Celebi out of his [[bag|backpack]] and they try to reach the Time Ripple.
