On the mountain path of Mt.
Moon, Tianlin, who had been walking for a long time, sat by the roadside to rest.
Mt.
Moon was much larger than he had imagined, and with evening approaching, it seemed he would have to camp outdoors tonight.
“Pip… Pi…” Suddenly, a faint cry for help came from nearby.
It sounded a bit like a Clefairy, but much younger.
Tianlin followed the sound and found a small, round pink Pokémon wedged between two rocks.
It was much smaller than a Clefairy—this should be a Cleffa, and it appeared to be stuck.
“Don’t worry, little one.
I’ll get you out!” Tianlin said, reaching in to pull it free.
However, Cleffa was stuck too tightly—forcing it out might hurt it.
“In that case—Grovyle, Scyther!
When I say go, push the rocks apart.
I’ll pull it out at the same time.”
A moment later, Cleffa, tears still in its eyes, nestled into Tianlin’s arms in gratitude.
Tianlin, who loved all kinds of Pokémon—whether it was the fierce Tyranitar, the elegant Milotic, or the cool Greninja—had zero resistance to something as adorable as this.
“Alright, that must’ve hurt.
Don’t cry—I’ll apply some medicine.” Being squeezed between the rocks had scraped its skin a little.
Tianlin carefully applied some ointment.
The cool sensation made Cleffa visibly relax.
“Pi… pi…”

“This little one has amazing potential,” Tianlin thought.
He even felt tempted to catch it.
But Mt.
Moon was home to the Clefairy line, and this Cleffa was clearly very young—likely just hatched.
Its parents were probably nearby.
I’ll take you back—your parents must be worried.” Cleffa suddenly remembered something, jumped down, and tugged at Tianlin’s pants.
“You want me to follow you?” Tianlin asked.
Cleffa nodded happily.
Following Cleffa deeper into Mt.
Moon, Tianlin soon saw a group of Clefairy and Clefable searching anxiously—likely for this lost child.
Cleffa ran toward them happily.
A leading Clefable picked it up, clearly relieved.
Tianlin could tell immediately—this Clefable was no ordinary Pokémon.
It was likely the leader of the group.
Clefable (Male)
Type: Fairy
Ability: Magic Guard
Nature: Bold (+Def, −Atk)
Height: 1.6 m
Weight: 43 kg
Potential: excellent qualifications, potential is quasi-Elite Four
Current strength: Pseudo-Elite Four
An incredibly powerful Pokémon.
However, Clefable suddenly glared at Tianlin angrily—it seemed to have misunderstood, thinking Tianlin had hurt Cleffa.
Clefable gathered pink energy in its hands and fired a Moonblast straight at Tianlin.
Reacting instantly, Tianlin sent out Grovyle and Scyther.
Using Leaf Blade and Fury Cutter, they managed to block the attack—but the sheer power still forced them back.
They steadied themselves and counterattacked—Grovyle used Mega Drain while Scyther launched a continuous assault with Fury Cutter.
Clefable calmly raised its hand, summoning a mysterious force—Cosmic Power—boosting both its Defense and Special Defense, easily blocking both attacks.
“As expected of a Pokémon at this level…” Tianlin realized Grovyle and Scyther were no match for it yet.
Cleffa watched anxiously—on one side was its father, on the other, the kind human who saved it.
It didn’t want either to get hurt.
At that moment, a melodic sound echoed.
A Clefairy stepped in, using Sing—not to attack, but to stop the fight.
It seemed to explain everything to Clefable.
Soon after, Clefairy approached Tianlin apologetically and bowed.
“Haha, it’s fine,” Tianlin smiled.
“Actually, I should thank you—my partners got to experience the power of a high-level opponent. The source of this chapter is novelping.com.
They’ll train even harder from now on.”
Another Clefairy approached, holding Cleffa—it seemed to be its mother.
Seeing the family reunited, Tianlin felt relieved and prepared to leave.
But Clefable suddenly stopped him, pointing in a certain direction and nudging him forward.
“You want me to follow you?” Tianlin asked.
Clefable nodded.
Curious, Tianlin followed them into a mysterious cave.
Inside stood a massive meteorite, surrounded by dancing Clefairy—as if they were worshiping it.
Clefable then retrieved two stones from beneath the meteorite and handed them to Tianlin.
“These are… Moon Stones?
You’re giving them to me?” Clefable nodded—both as thanks and as an apology.
“Then I’ll gratefully accept.
Thank you!” Tianlin said.
These Moon Stones were extraordinary—their color, shape, and crystalline quality far surpassed any he had seen before.
They were truly top-quality Moon Stones—an incredibly valuable gift.
Early the next morning, Tianlin woke up in the Clefairy cave.
Nearby, Grovyle and Scyther were already training tirelessly.
It seemed their defeat against Clefable had motivated them deeply.
“Clefable, Clefairy, Cleffa—I’m heading out.
Goodbye!
And Cleffa, be careful next time.
Don’t wander into dangerous places alone.”
Cleffa’s eyes filled with tears as it tugged at Tianlin’s pants, not wanting him to leave.
It even tried to follow him.
Tianlin sighed gently.
“Not yet, Cleffa.
You’re still too young, and your parents are here.
I can’t take you with me.
But how about this—after I finish the League, I’ll come back to see you.
By then, you’ll have grown stronger.
If you still want to travel with me, we’ll go together.”
Cleffa nodded tearfully.
After saying his goodbyes, Tianlin left Mt.
Moon.
They would surely meet again someday.
And now, his next destination—Cerulean City—was just ahead.
