A/N: Aw, man… chapter 21…. I feel so special. I'm not sure how many chapters this story will end up being, but I'm grateful to all of those who have been reading and reviewing.
After a short trip through the air, I landed in front of a Ledian who had a long scar running across his torso. The Ledian studied Pluto and me. "Err... Pluto? Which one of you is Pluto?"
Pluto stepped forward. "I am, Sonic. This is Stun; Moonlight wants you to teach him aerial maneuvers."
I transformed back to my regular form, and Sonic looked at me in shock. "You just… transformed, didn't you?"
"Yes, Sonic. It's nice to meet you."
Sonic cleared his throat. "Yeah, well… if Moonlight himself wants you to learn some aerial stuff, then I suppose I'll have to teach you."
I nodded. "Thank you, sir."
Ledian nodded back. "Alright… let me explain the way my team and I work. We protect our clan from enemies from the air, and I am the instructor. Usually what we do is we use Supersonic on the enemies to confuse them, which makes them easy pickings for the ground squad. Understand?" I nodded, absorbing this information. "Good. Lucky for you, we have a training session in a couple of minutes. Transform into whatever flying form that you feel comfortable with."
I nodded and concentrated, transforming back into a Ledyba. "I feel like this form would make the other cadets more comfortable."
Sonic nodded with approval. "Smart thinking. Let's meet up with the others."
…
After walking to the edge of the clearing, I saw a group of Ledyba, Combee, and there was even a couple of Dustox.
Sonic walked to the front of the crowd and yelled, "Listen up! This is Stun. He's new. He's gonna be flying with us today. Moonlight's orders. Treat him nice." The cadets nodded. "Here's the mission for today." He continued. "We're gonna fly through these trees until we get to the human city of Eterna. If ya get captured, then good luck to ya! Let's begin."
The crowd nodded simultaneously and lifted off the ground with a loud buzz. Sonic was in the lead, and I followed after them as we flew into the forest.
It was an exhilarating feeling: flying through the trees, trying to stay in one piece; trying not to hit a tree. Although I had had a little flying experience, I wasn't nearly as skilled as these bug Pokémon. I tried my best to dodge the trees, but every now and then, I wasn't paying attention and slammed into a huge tree trunk. I fell to the ground with a groan and lifted off as soon as I was able. When we finally reached Eterna City, we all rejoiced and began to turn around.
But our cheering was short-lived. Suddenly, a screech filled the air and a Fearow swooped down from the air, catching a Ledyba in its claws. I gasped and looked up, seeing a whole flock of Fearow and Spearow.
Sonic cursed. "Everyone! Attack formation! Use those Supersonics!"
I faced the flock and aimed at the Fearow that held the kidnapped Ledyba. I opened my mouth and unleashed a powerful Supersonic. The Fearow swiveled in the air and dropped the Ledyba, falling to the ground.
"Good job, Stun!" Sonic said, flying by. I nodded and transformed into Mew.
I floated up to the flock and used Psychic, locking up the wings of a nearby Fearow, causing it to fall to the ground. I floated forward and unleashed a Flamethrower on a couple of Fearow.
Twenty Spearow flew forward and started scratching and pecking at me. I transformed into a Zapdos and unleashed an extremely powerful Thunder attack, that caused the flock to faint instantly. I looked back at the group of bug Pokémon, who were staring at me with shock, amazement, and even a little bit of fear.
Sonic floated forward. "Wow… Stun… I didn't know you were so powerful."
I transformed into a Ledian and smiled. "Well, now you know."
Sonic nodded. "Now we know."
I turned back to the forest and took off, flying through the trees, and heading back towards the clearing.
…
When I got back, Mew was standing there with Celebi, Shaymin, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. I landed and transformed back to my regular form.
When Mesprit saw me, she smiled and said, "Hey! It's my Pidgey! How's it going, Pidgey?"
I took a step back. "Mew… why is Mesprit with you?"
Mew smiled. "Mesprit is actually a pretty good fighter, even if she's insane."
Mesprit giggled. "They kidnapped me. Isn't that wonderful?"
Uxie looked at Mesprit with concern, but Azelf just rolled his eyes and floated away. "Let me know when we're leaving." He muttered to Mew.
Mesprit saw the other Ledyba and exclaimed, "Hey! Ledyba! I LOVE LEDYBA!" Mesprit picked up a Ledyba and gave it a big hug.
I walked over to Mew. "How come she knows that that's a Ledyba, but she doesn't know what I am?"
Mew shrugged. "Maybe she just likes making fun of you."
I sighed. "So, what are we doing now?"
"Well, since you've passed your flying exam, we're going to head to Hoenn and fight the war."
"The war's starting already?"
Mew nodded. "Tenebrae is on the move, now is the perfect time to strike. Arceus and Dialga are watching Tenebrae as we speak."
I nodded and said, "Alright. Let's do it."
Author Note: Well, there it is! Hope everyone enjoyed it. I suppose the war is going to start next chapter… it's kinda too fast for me, but….
Also… thank you, Captain Black Knight, for reviewing so much. Thanks also go to Adurna Rider of Kveykva and the Awesomizer, and Almiarater.
