S9E10 The Green Guardian

As Ash and his friends travel toward the Battle Pike, they opt to take the Cycling Road, only to discover it's closed. They are forced to navigate through the forest instead. While exploring, Pikachu hears a sound and wanders off, discovering an injured Celebi trapped beneath some dense vines. Along the way, they encounter a Pokémon Ranger named Solana, who offers to assist in the search for Pikachu. Once they locate Pikachu and Celebi, their joyful reunion is abruptly interrupted by Team Rocket, who arrives with plans to capture Celebi.
