The Silver and Web Series
Episode 13: The Mysterious Cave
One day, Silver took Sil-Chi outside for a walk. "Are you ready, Sil-Chi?" he asked his friend.
"Chinon!" Sil-Chi replied happily. The two of them began to walk, but it was not long before, in one spot, the ground suddenly crumbled beneath Silver, sending him down into the space below. "Chi!" Sil-Chi cried out. He looked down but could not see any sign of Silver below.
Silver found himself surrounded by a mysterious pink bubble that slowed his descent and landed him gently on the ground. He looked back when he heard a "Mew!" Behind him, a Mew floated in the air in front of the opening to a cave. It turned and went into the cave, and Silver followed it. It stopped at a corner, turned to Silver, and motioned toward another room to the side. "Mew!" Follow me!
Where is it leading me? Silver wondered as he ran after Mew.
In the huge room, Mew stopped in front of a bush and looked back. "Mew Mew!" It's behind this bush!
When Silver took a look over the bush, he gasped. There, in front of the bush, a creature with pale yellow fur, large brown eyes, pointy curved ears, white fur on its belly, and a fluffy tail with four yellow orbs on its tips sat by a pool of water. It was a rare Pokemon called a Nellaby. It was petting a Neutral Chao while a Neutral Chaos Chao sat by the water, a Hero Chaos Chao and a Dark Chaos Chao swam in the pool, and a Hero Chao, a Dark Chao, and another Mew played in the air above. It was a beautiful sight.
The Mew that had led Silver into the cave floated over to Nellaby. "Mew!" it called out. Nellaby!
Nellaby stood up and, when she saw Silver, came over to him and bowed politely. "I am very pleased to meet you. I'm Nellaby." Then she looked at Silver. "There's actually a reason why you're here and why you're finding the Magic Jewels. You are finding them for an important event that will happen soon…but you'll have to wait and see what it is."
Silver was puzzled by Nellaby's words. An important event? What kind of event would it be, and how did Nellaby know that it would happen?
Nellaby went over to a small chest on the ground and opened it, taking out a yellow jewel. She placed it in Silver's hand. "Here. Take this Magic Jewel."
"Are you sure you don't need it?" Silver asked.
"Yes. It only came here to find you!" Nellaby replied with a smile.
"Thank you. I'll keep it safe," Silver said. Then he turned toward the room's entrance and looked back at his new friends. "Well, I'd better leave now. I have a friend waiting for me." So he left the cave, saying goodbye to the others. Nellaby, the two Mews, and the six Chao followed him to the cave's entrance and waved goodbye.
Meanwhile, Sil-Chi looked down at the ground with tears in his eyes, wondering if Silver was all right. Then, he heard a familiar voice call out his name. He turned quickly to see Silver floating up to the ledge with his third Magic Jewel using his psychic power. "Chinon!" the Chinon exclaimed and hugged his friend with joy.
When the two of them had returned home, Silver held his three Magic Jewels in his arms and looked down at them. "Well, it looks like we have three Magic Jewels now," he told Sil-Chi, "Maybe someday we'll have all of them!"

Nellaby is a Pokemon I made up. It is a rare Pokemon but not Legendary. It normally isn't supposed to be able to speak so the one in this story must be unique. Nellaby is pronounced nel-uh-bee.
