Can not catch celebi (he is missing but NPC's tell me i have caught it)

[Itsnadu]

Okay so i wanted to catch celebi (i thought i had caught it before but i dont have it in the PC and i dont have it caught) and when i went to do the quest i remembered most of it and realized i had already done it and that i used a masterball to catch it (my first masterball). NPC's congratulate me for catching it but the dex tells me i dont own it. I went to see where celebi should be but hes not here. I also still have the GS Ball but idk if it's relevant or not. Screenshots below

Hi there!

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
I've forwarded the issue to the Content Scripters.
I'll let you know when I have an answer.

Kind regards,

Hi there again.
Your variables tell us that you finished the quest and caught the Celebi.
However, I could not find any Celebi from you in the data base.

It looks like you failed to catch the Celebi or ended up losing this progress due to a server rollback.

Though, you can catch Celebi again by defeating the Nikola boss who is located in Unknown Place, Trainers Valley. Here's a guide on how to access specific areas and what requirements are needed.
Furthermore, Nikola is not easy to beat as his lineup consist of 6 legendary Pokemon, so be prepared.

More information about Nikola, which legendary Pokemon can be restored by him and his lineup can be found here.

I hope this helps.
