Chapter 26

Five minutes later, there was a massive lump in my throat while Fearow glided through the air, following the buzzing form of Beedrill.

I'm glad to say, that I'm not crying hysterics like a little bitch anymore. I'm twitchy as all fuck and shaky, but I feel much safer on Fearow than I ever did on a roller coaster or plane.

We flew over the river I remember from the anime and I was tempted to go down there and check for pokemon. I mean, I've got two water types, but there might be a Krabby or Shellder or something down in there.

..Granted, I've only got three fucking pokeballs because my fucking goldfish memory sprung up on me again in Pewter City and I forgot to stock up on pokeballs. Fuck I'm a stupid cunt.

I was broken from my thoughts by Beedrill buzzing loudly. Fearow pulled to a stop, flapping his wings to keep us afloat and I saw Beedrill pointing down below us. I followed to where he was pointing and grinned when I saw a small rock plateau in the middle of the forest below us, with the top of it blown open to show a massive greyish blue boulder sitting within it, dozens of pink dots that I could barely make out with how high up we were.

"Take us down Fearow, but don't attack the Clefairy," I ordered. Fearow barked an affirmative and immediately began to slowly descend. Beedrill followed with us and I looked over to him, "I don't know how they'll react, but get ready for a fight, they're all fairy types, so your poison attacks will be good for handling them."

"Zz!" Beedrill nodded simply. Ah, I wish he was a bit more outgoing. He reminds me of Zoro from One Piece man. He only cares about training and sleeping. Man, I need to teach him how to fire flying slashes and shit like in One Piece. Cut a fucking mountain in half like a boss.

We landed in the small cave a few moments later and around us, dozens of Clefaiey, and quite a few Clefable slowed to a stop at what they were doing and watched us wearily. Many of them were holding small shiny blue-grey stones, moon stone shards.

"Hey," I greeted and unstrapped myself from my saddle on Fearow, sliding down to the ground and looking around at the Clefairy, "How are you all?"

They didn't make a sound. Still watching me, not making a move. How awkward. "Sorry for disturbing you guys," I raised my hand and plastered what I hope was a welcoming smile on my face. I mean, they're cute and I don't have any bad intentions for them, so that would help right? "I'd heard rumours about there being Moon Stone around here and a bunch of Clefairy and I was hoping to check things out."

Still no response. Though, I did notice one Clefable, the one closest to me clench its little fingers tight around the moon stone shard it was holding. I held up my hands in surrender, "I'm not gonna force you guys or anything," I promised. If they don't want to go with me, that's fine. I'm not that big one Clefairy anyway, "But I was hoping to get some moon stone if that was fine with you guys."

The Clefable I was looking at looked me over for a moment and then relaxed its grip on its moon stone shard.

"..Fable.." it sighed and then nodded. It turned then and lifted its arm and I watched in awe as a blue light blared around its eyes and hand, and then the moon stone shard it was holding and the ones in the hands of six others were encased in similar aura's of blue before they floated into the air and made their way floating over to me.

I held my hands out and the stones were deposited into my palms, nearly overflowing, to the point where I had to cradle them to my chest. "Thanks Clefable!" I beamed at it with a big smile before looking around, "So, any of you want to join me? I don't know much about You guys as a species, I'll admit besides that you're fairy types and the kind of attacks you can learn. But if you're interested, I can promise to make you really strong and you won't have to worry about food."

I looked around, but none seemed too inclined. Clefable itself just shook its head at me and gave me a sad little smile. "Alright, one last attempt then and if you don't want to come, I'll just head out," I shrugged. No skin off my nose to be honest, I'd just like one for that fairy coverage, but honestly there are fairies I like better anyway, "There's a lot of mysteries about Clefairy and space. I know a lot about legendary pokemon, the ones that created this world, and even about the legendary pokemon like Rayquaza, and Deoxys. And even some about Palkia, the pokemon that governs space itself."

I was just winging it, pulling it out of my ass to be honest. But to my surprise, Clefable's eyes positively lit up and it turned to the rest of its kind, "Cley! Cle! Fae fable!" it spoke quickly.

"Clayy!" Many of them cried out, nodding.

They began conversing and I had no idea about what. God I wish I snagged Meowth now. He'd be great at translating this shit.

I looked over at my pokemon, but Fearow just scoffed and shrugged while Beedrill stared on impassively. Fucking try hards and their pride. This is probably what talking to Zoro and Sasuke at the same time would be like.

I guess then Chansey would be the Orihime of my team. Raticate would be maybe the kid Naruto. Poliwhirl, I'm not so sure. The Goku possibly, but his diligence doesn't fit. So, the Tien or Trunks of my team maybe? The fuck did that make Pidgeotto then? Shiftry would probably fill the Piccolo roll from what little I've seen of him.

The Vegeta maybe? He has the whole excessive almost detrimental like pride thing going on, and he's the biggest try hard on my squad.

I was broken from my thoughts when the Clefairry and Clefable all around went silent and to my surprise, the Clefable I had been looking at first and the one that gave me the moon stone shards bounced over to me. Like literal bounced. It jumped and slowly rose up through the air and came down..it was like it was an astronaut jumping across the surface of the moon.

It landed in front of me a moment later, and clasped its small pink hands together and bowed its head to me, "Clefable." it nodded and smiled gently at me, before unclasping its hands and pointing at the pokeballs on my belt.

Huh. Did it want to come then? "You want to be my pokemon?" I asked.

Clefably simply nodded, not letting its gentle smile fall. Instead, it turned to its companions and waved to them all, an action that was returned.

Well alright then, I reached into my pocket and grabbed one of the shrunken pokeballs and enlarged it just in time for Clefable to turn back to me. "Ready?" I asked, raising the ball up.

"Clefae." it nodded. With its confirmation, I tapped the pokeball to its head and it clicked open, sucking it inside. To my surprise. The ball didn't even shake. It just clicked signifying the capture almost instantly, then blipped out of existence and teleported to Viridian City.

Well only two pokeballs left now. Better stock up on more when I get to Cerulean.

"..Well alright then." I shrugged. I smiled at the Clefairy and Clefable in the area and waved at them all, "Thanks for your hospitality guys, I'll treat your buddy well, I promise." I bid them goodbye and walked over to Fearow and hooked myself into the saddle, directing him to take flight.

We left the Clefairy and Clefable behind quickly and I couldn't help but grin, looking down at the moon stones I had clasped in my arms.

...Wait, why the fuck am I carrying these and not putting them in my backpack. Jesus Christ I'm a fucking retard.
