The Clefairy danced around the giant moon stone in the center, and the newly arrived Clefairy also leaped in, joining them.
Although this was inside Mt. Moon's cave, the top was an open, hollow area with no obstructions, allowing them to see the starry night sky and the crescent moon faintly emitting a gentle glow.
As the Clefairy continuously jumped and danced around the moon stone, the moon stone in their hands seemed to shine even brighter under the moonlight.
The next second, a dazzling light descended from the sky, shining on the giant moon stone, and the dancing Clefairy stopped in their tracks, all turning their gaze towards the giant moon stone.
Ash and the others also watched this scene in shock; from their perspective, this enormous beam of light appeared to be shining down from the moon itself.
Could it be that the Clefairy's dance, praying to the gods, had worked? Had a god truly descended?
The gods in the Pokémon world generally refer to Legendary Pokémon, and Legendary Pokémon related to the moon... Ash and the two others had no idea. Even Brock and Xiao Xia, both Gym Leaders, weren't encyclopedias; it was impossible for them to know everything.
This kind of wondrous sight before them was something they had never encountered in their lives.
The dazzling light lasted for dozens of seconds before slowly disappearing. The giant moon stone remained, as if nothing had happened just now.
But the sharp-eyed Ash noticed a difference above the giant moon stone: "Brock, Xiao Xia, look there! Is that a Pokémon Egg?"
Brock and Xiao Xia followed Ash's finger, their gazes focusing on the area above the giant moon stone. If they looked closely, they could indeed see a smooth Pokémon Egg there.
The Pokémon Egg was greenish-white, a common color for many Pokémon Eggs. Generally speaking, it was impossible to tell what kind of Pokémon the egg belonged to just from its appearance.
However, the problem now was, why was there a Pokémon Egg on top of that giant moon stone?
Was that Pokémon Egg related to the light that shone just now? Could it be that this Pokémon came from the moon?
Filled with various questions, Ash and the others slowly approached the giant moon stone.
Perhaps it was due to the innocent and peaceful aura emanating from Ash and the others, or perhaps the Clefairy who led Ash here had communicated with the other Clefairy. In any case, Ash and the others' approach did not provoke any resistance or objections from the Clefairy.
As Ash and the others arrived before the giant moon stone, the giant moon stone suddenly erupted into a brilliant light!
The relatively dim night was instantly illuminated as if it were daytime!
Ash and the others couldn't help but shield themselves with their hands. The light came and went quickly; after a few seconds, it dissipated.
But as the light dissipated, the giant moon stone, which had been shining with moonlight, also lost its radiance.
At the same time, cracks began to appear on the surface of the giant moon stone, finally shattering with a crash under the shocked gazes of Ash and the others!
"What's going on! Why did the moon stone break!"
"The moon stone losing its radiance means that the energy inside this moon stone has been absorbed and used up. A used ite will naturally shatter." Brock even had time to explain the principle of the moon stone's shattering to Ash. Ash hadn't even finished listening to Brock's explanation when he already rushed forward with a quick stride.
Because as the moon stone shattered, the Pokémon Egg on top of it also fell down.
Fortunately, Ash was quick-witted and caught the Pokémon Egg directly. Seeing the egg appear safely in his hands, Ash also breathed a sigh of relief.
Before Ash could speak, the Pokémon Egg in his hand let out a faint sound.
Immediately after, under the eyes of the three of them and the numerous Clefairy, cracks began to appear on the surface of the Pokémon Egg!
"Why is the Pokémon Egg cracking! Did it break when it hit something just now? Brock, Xiao Xia, should we return to the Ni Bi City Elf Center first?" Ash said anxiously, looking at the cracking Pokémon Egg in his hand.
"Wait, Ash, this doesn't seem to be broken, but rather..." Xiao Xia stopped Ash's impulsive idea and was about to comfort him, but then the Pokémon Egg in Ash's hand suddenly shone with dazzling light again!
In less than ten minutes, light had shone three times in the night. If it weren't for the fact that their eyes were fine, they probably would have been blinded by these flashes of light.
Ash closed his eyes. Pikachu, Xiao Xia, and Brock shielded their eyes with their hands, because Ash couldn't free his hands at the moment; if he did, the Pokémon Egg would fall to the ground.
The light dissipated once more. When Ash felt it was no longer so dazzling, he slightly opened his eyes. What he saw was a blue mushroom-shaped head, with a small piece of white eggshell still on top of it.
When Ash's eyes were fully open, the complete appearance of the Pokémon before him was reflected in his gaze.
A small blue mushroom-shaped head, with two red horns in the middle of its hair, separating it front and back. Below the mushroom-shaped head, he couldn't see the Pokémon's eyes, only her slightly open small mouth as she breathed.
Her body was a faint pinkish color. At this moment, she still had a small piece of white eggshell on top of her head, and her tiny feet were inside the eggshell, looking both cute and a little comical.

Ash: !!!
What the heck, he didn't see wrong, did he? Insight Eye isn't broken, is it?!
What are six S-rank ability limits?!
According to the Ashs in the group, an S-rank ability limit in ordinary Pokémon is basically a one-in-ten-thousand existence, and this is just for a single S-rank. If all six-dimensional abilities have an S-rank limit, then it can no longer be described as one-in-ten-thousand.
Even among millions or tens of millions of ordinary Pokémon, a full S-rank situation might not appear. The S-rank limit is particularly different; it not only represents a Pokémon standing at the peak of aptitude, but also represents another possibility.
As for what that possibility is, the big shots in the group hadn't explained it to him in detail. They only said that once he encountered a Pokémon with S-rank aptitude, he could ask in the group, otherwise it would only affect his mindset and make him itch with curiosity.
But the Ashs in the group probably didn't expect that in less than half a month since he set off, he had already encountered a Pokémon with S-rank aptitude, and it was the full S-rank kind!
This can't even be described as pure dumb luck, can it?
"Ralts?" Ralts turned her small head inside the Pokémon Egg, finally focusing her gaze on Ash. Although he couldn't see Ralts's eyes through her hair, Ash could feel that she was looking at him.
"Um... hello?" Ash, not knowing how to greet the little one in front of him, could only blurt out a signature greeting.
"Ralts!!" As soon as Ash spoke, Ralts jumped directly out of the eggshell. Her small hands immediately wrapped around Ash's neck, and her entire body pressed against Ash's front. However, with her small frame, Ash barely felt any weight at all.
