Axew!!
Axew also cried out in response after hearing Ash's reply.
"Deep within this vast sky, there are still Pokémon beyond human reach. One day, I will defeat them all, one by one!" Ash said, slightly raising his finger and pointing towards the sky. Axew paused slightly, listening to Ash's words, and also looked up at the sky. Its purple pupils, for some reason, revealed a hint of longing.
Clefairy, clefairy, clefairy~~~~
Just then, another commotion arose. Ash lowered his hand upon hearing it and looked around. He saw Clefairy, Clefable, and Cleffa all waking up one after another, seemingly in tacit agreement, rising in unison. Pikachu, awakened by the commotion, groggily opened his eyes and looked at the surrounding Clefairy, tilting his head in confusion. He then climbed onto Ash's shoulder, watching the strange sight before them.
"What's going on? So noisy, late at night?" This commotion didn't just wake Pikachu; the three people inside the tent were also awakened. Misty, without even taking off her sleeping bag, squirmed to the front of the tent, unzipped it, and crawled out to see what was happening outside.
"What's all this about??" Misty was also a little confused, seeing all the Clefairy awake.
Brock and Dr. Lim also came to the tent entrance, looking outside in surprise. They saw the Clefairy and Cleffa, under the watchful gaze of Clefable, walk to the front of the meteorite. Then, one by one, they lined up to form a circle around the meteorite. Clefairy were in the outer circle, and Cleffa were in the inner circle. Immediately, they all let out synchronized cries. Then, at this moment, a cloud drifted over the meteorite crater, and the full moon appeared directly above the crater.
At the same time, the giant meteorite in the center suddenly emitted a faint green glow. Then, from the crater opening above, a beam of white light shone down. The pure white sacred light enveloped the meteorite.
"Ah! This... this, this is...!" Dr. Lim's jaw dropped in surprise. He quickly rushed out of the tent, while Misty and Brock also quickly emerged from their sleeping bags.
Watching this once-in-a-century sight, they saw that at this moment, as the moonlight shone down, the Clefairy and Cleffa all held hands and began to dance in a circle around the meteorite.
"What are they doing?" Feeling the soft glow around them, Misty looked at the Clefairy and Cleffa dancing around the meteorite like natives, a puzzled expression on her face.
"Shh! Don't disturb them!" Dr. Lim spoke seriously for once, his eyes fixed on the scene before him.
Everyone watched quietly. As the Cleffa and Clefairy danced, the meteorite's light radiated out, enveloping them. Enveloped by the light, the Cleffa and Clefairy all glowed with a blue light, which directly formed two halos surrounding the meteorite.
"This light is!!" Misty watched in surprise.
"This is it! This is the legendary Clefairy's Dance of Evolution! I never thought I'd see it with my own eyes in my lifetime," Dr. Lim clenched his fists, extremely excited, even shedding tears of emotion.
"Evolution?" Hearing Dr. Lim's words, everyone still looked ahead. They saw that under the light's embrace, the forms of the Clefairy and Cleffa began to change. Their bodies gradually changed shape. The outer circle of Clefairy grew larger, and the small bodies of the inner circle of Cleffa also began to swell. This was the light of evolution.
Under the witness of the few of them, the light slowly dispersed. All the Clefairy that had been in their original positions transformed into Clefable, while the Cleffa transformed into Clefairy. Their movements didn't stop; they continued to hold hands and dance. After about ten minutes, the light from the meteorite gradually disappeared, and the moonlight shining down from the crater also gradually faded.
Everyone watched this evolution feast in surprise. It was rare for so many Pokémon to evolve at the same time. To witness it once could truly be considered a blessing. But Ash also knew that the meteorite was a Moon Stone. A Moon Stone itself has the ability to evolve some Pokémon. Clefairy primarily evolved by relying on the Moon Stone.
However, Moon Stones usually disappear after use, but this meteorite showed no change at all. It could still contain energy. It seemed this meteorite absorbed moonlight to recharge itself, then provided that energy to the Clefairy, allowing them to evolve. To activate this function, it seemed to rely on the Clefairy's singing. This must be why this meteorite didn't disappear after one use, unlike other Moon Stones.
Watching this strange sight, Axew seemed to believe Ash's words: that there were many unknown Pokémon deep within the starry sky.
After witnessing this spectacle, Dr. Lim was too excited to sleep. Ash, Misty, and Brock, preparing to depart tomorrow, collected themselves and went to sleep. The Clefairy, having completed their evolution ritual, also continued to rest.
Morning.
"Alright, Officer Jenny and the others should be here soon. Let's go!" Having not slept all night, Dr. Lim was still energetic. After breakfast, he glanced at the time and said to Ash and the others.
The few of them packed their things, ready to depart. At this moment, a Clefable walked over and stood beside Ash and the others.
Clefable~~~
This Clefable squinted its eyes, a sweet smile on its face, and let out calls like songs to everyone.
"Are you... yesterday's Clefairy?" Misty looked at the Clefable before her. Although they all looked similar, she could still feel it.
Clefable~~~~~
Clefable nodded happily upon hearing this, then let out a somewhat reluctant cry, seemingly bidding farewell to everyone.
"We're leaving now. You take care of yourself in the future, okay? But since you've evolved, you should be very powerful." Misty also felt a little reluctant to part with Clefable. After all, they had been through life and death together yesterday, but there was nothing to be done; there was always a time for parting.
Clefable~~~
Clefable also nodded in response. Ash suddenly remembered something as well.
"Oh, this... I picked it up casually. Here, it's for you." Thinking of it, Ash took out an emerald-like stone from his pocket. Everyone looked at it; it was precisely the Moon Stone that had been in the Clefairy's hand yesterday. Brock nearby was a little surprised. He hadn't expected Ash to actually have time to pick it up under such circumstances yesterday.
