When he saw a worried Ash on the other line, his heart dropped right into the pit of his stomach. "Ash?" The professor asked, "Is something wrong?"
"It's Pikachu..." Ash said quietly. "A-And the others." Looking around, he unwrapped the handkerchief holding the Chaos Emerald. "He and Bayleef found this thing, and now..."
"What happened, Ash?" Oak asked. The headaches were getting worse just by looking at the large gem in the boy's hand. The pain was making him more than a little anxious, and he was dreading the coming answer.
"Well..." Pikachu said as he stepped into the screen, "this happened!"
"This gem let out some strange energy, and it transformed all my Pokemon!" Ash said, almost on the verge of tears. "Their PokeBalls no longer work on them, and I don't know what to do!"
Suddenly, it all made sense to the Professor. A short time from now, probably a few weeks at the most, Celebi was going to drop his past self into a forest, where he would meet Ash for the first time in his life. Unfortunately, one of Team Rocket's best operatives was going to show up to capture Celebi. He most definitely did not remember Pikachu being three feet tall... or did he? It was getting harder to remember the events of that day. Somehow, history, or at least his own, must be changing.
Another thought hit him. In any other situation, his first reaction would've been to call Ash and his Pokemon back to Pallet Town as soon as possible, somehting that Ash was probably fearing this very moment. If he did that now to examine them, they might not be able to get to the forest in time to meet him. That could possibly be disasterous not only for their friendship, even his very own life, but maybe for the world in general if the Marauder got his hands on Celebi for good.
Oak swallowed hard. This was definitely a problem. His next words were going to effect him in ways that even he had no idea would be.
