Pokemon RGB: Part 5, Mew Ways
Disclaimer: For those who have not or will not read the description please be aware that I'll be using the international names of each game protagonist. Since Gen 1 only had the male protagonist and the rival they shall be named by their respective games (Red and Blue). The female protagonist will be named green due to the international release of leaf-green. Note if the character has a remake name this will be used instead. (Ethan and Lyra, not Gold and Krystal) This is for the benefit of fans of the franchise that came later than those who started back in gen 1 and gen 2 which game characters were named after their respective games.
The swish and swash of the waves blanketed the air as droplets of saline wet the air, Charmander hugging its tail close to its chest while waddling to keep its balance, "Hey bud," Red picked up the little guy, "Want to go back into your pokeball?" The little lizard nodded its head and disappeared into a red light, "poor guy, I guess the sea makes him uncomfortable." Red pocketed Charmander's ball back into his pack, he shook it lightly hearing only a few pokeballs in it, "Nearly out of pokeballs."
Green pushed Red forward, "Then we better get to Cerulean then," Red mumbled at Green a bit until both began walking side by side, the sun slowly setting upon the road and the sea. "Do you think we'll make it to the next city before the sun sets?" Green opened her large yellow bag pulling out a pocket watch, "No, we'll never make it in time." Red began sliding down an incline on the hill, "Red what are you doing?"
"Making camp near the beach," Red planted himself still to motion at Green, "Come on!" Green slowly slide down the hill after Red who began gathering leaves and sticks. In a burst of flame, Charmander jumped from its ball to light the fire.
"Come on bud you'll be nice and dry under the hillside." Red pointed towards a patch of dirt that hung above. As the sun began to set, coloring the ocean bright oranges, yellows, and reds, the two trainers dozed off. Red's hat tipped over his face as Green nuzzled by his side, her hat laid down upon Red's chest. Charmander and Bulbasaur snuggled against their trainers amongst the shadows but sound of a brush roused both Pokémon. Charmander wiggled himself from his trainer, holding his tail to not wake either of his friends. The small lizard moved under the rising moon as a little pink creature floated ahead, dancing in the moon light. The small creature wandered in front of Charmander, floating around it while sniffing at him. The tiny creature giggled and held its own tail like Charmander, dropping only to twirl around its new friend.
"Bulba.."Bulbasaur wandered out from the shelter, the tiny pink creature disappeared in a bright pink light. "Bulba?" Bulbasaur approached Charmander. Speaking in the tongue of its friend, he asked about the little critter. Charmander moved its arms as it retold its tale but only till Bulbasaur growled at Charmander to stop did they both realized the small creature returned, floating above them. It stared at them with such innocence titling its head at every variation of sound and syllable; however, it did not speak to them. The first sound it made was a giggle or a sound close to a purr. In every sense of the word, the sound was primeval and basic. Charmander spoke at the strange critter yet, he got no answers, and the creature seemed to have no desire to explain what it is or maybe did not understand the word. Both Pokémon knew this creature was hallowed in some term, or at least hallowed in the ways of Pokémon, as the creature while alien, was astonishingly familiar. To both of them, this creature seemed like a mother or a father, even its gender was amiss to them. None of this uncertainty fazed them. None of this uncertainty placed them on edge. This mysterious creature with no detriment name, gender, or grouping had a calming aura about, an aura of peace, familiarity, and kinship.
Yet the little creature seemed to laugh increasingly as another figure approached, this time Charmander and Bulbasaur recognized it as the new member of the group kept on chanting its name clearly in the moonlight. The pink fur ball Clefairy rolled down the hill, chanting its metronomic song. By the time Clefairy made it up on its feet, both the strange creature and it began dancing in unity. Chanting together as the air around begin to glow with a weird energy. Charmander and Bulbasaur wandered in and took to the dance themselves. The four danced under the moon chanting their names in unison, no worries or questions arose as they enjoyed themselves in the hypnotic trance. By the time the moon hit is apex, the energy that surrounded glistened as bright as the moon, Clefairy stood still in the light staring at the moon but nothing happened. Clefairy stood still as the light slowly disappeared and the moon's light even seemed to dim. As the last of the light died down, the little pink puff Clefairy fell upon the floor and began to weep, tiny tears falling down its pink cheeks. Charmander and Bulbasaur shook and waddled, trying to calm the little pink puff down but nothing worked. The cheerful Clefairy remained stricken with grief, but then the small critter began to speak. Its words were swift and quick and for a silent enigma the creature's words sung true. Even with the every appearance of the moon against the cloudless night, the odd creature's words pierced to Clefairy's heart and soften the turmoil that fell upon the fairy Pokémon. Clefairy stopped crying and began to snivel but as the oddity's words sunk in the Clefairy grew silent. In a moment, Clefairy jumped up but instead of walking back towards its home in Mount Moon, it wandered towards the sleeping trainers. Charmander and Bulbasaur followed as the silent creature floated above; Clefairy dug straight into the exposed yellow pack and pressed itself against one of the pokeballs and disappeared from the night into the ball. Charmander and Bulbasaur turned around to ask the mysterious creature the meaning of its words, yet it was gone. With the pink mystery gone, both Pokémon returned to rest near their trainers, their friends.
"Red wake up" the sounds of chirping Pidgey filled the air as Red wiped his eye's and stretched himself awake. "Come on lazy bones, look at this!" Red was pulled to his feet by Green as she pulled out her Pokedex and a ball for her bag, "Tell me do you remember this Pokémon?" Red rubbed his eyes as he skim across the information in front of him.
"Yeah, I recognize it. Its Clefairy," Red yawned, "like the one from mount moon." Green tapped her foot waiting for Red to understand her. "What?" Green flicked Red's nose.
"Now look at it," Red mumbled to himself a bit as he read it once more.
"What…" Red took the Pokedex from Green's hand, "that's impossible…"
"See." Red nodded, "Bulbasaur says Clefairy is in this ball or at least that's what I think he meant." Bulbasaur growled beneath them, "Yes I'm sure that's what he meant." Red scratched his head.
"Why would a Pokémon purposefully enter a pokeball?" He shook his head, "It doesn't make any since."
"Maybe it thinks it's the only way for it to evolve and mature." Red raised his eyebrow at Green, "Maybe it missed its chance to evolve with the other of its kind at Mount Moon and it thinks we can help it."
"I guess that is one way for that but it could have waited another month for a new full moon." Red thought to himself a bit, "Maybe, something pushed it towards it."
"Who would persuade a Clefairy to enter my pokeball?" Red shrugged but Green just kissed Clefairy's pokeball, "Don't worry friend, I just know we will have great times together." Red grinned and picked up his bag. "I guess you're awake and ready to go." Red nodded. Green put the ball away and locked her arm with Red, "Off to Cerulean City." Bulbasaur and Charmander tailed behind. Yet amongst the clouds, a small tinge of pink danced amongst the clouds, lying peacefully upon pillows of clouds.
