After practicing amid the noise for over an hour, May finally reached the midday break. Once she had eaten lunch, she went back to the greenhouse alone.
Compared with before its reconstruction, the Celadon Gym's greenhouse was now much larger, covering several thousand square meters and divided into areas of different sizes. Inside, not only did a wide variety of lush vegetation grow, but many Grass-type Pokémon lived there too.
Oddish, Gloom, Vileplume, Bellsprout, Weepinbell, Victreebel...
There were also some Grass-type Pokémon Erika had caught in Johto and Hoenn. These Pokémon lived together harmoniously, occasionally poking their heads out of the bushes, looking relaxed and carefree.
But none of these were May's target.
She walked slowly through the greenhouse, carefully searching among the trees for Celebi.
Ever since that brief glimpse earlier, she had really wanted to meet this Pokémon.
After all, it was a Mythical Pokémon!
A rare being that so many people would never see in their entire lives!
And now it was right here in the Gym. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so of course she had to get a good look.
Most importantly, it was Xia You's Pokémon. It would not flee in fright or attack her, making it safe and harmless, which gave her the confidence to be bolder.

Compared with elsewhere, walking here was clearly much harder. Thick trees surrounded her, their growth so dense that they blocked her view, leaving her able to see only a meter or two
