Chapter 82: Morning side of Mt Moon

Today it was time to go through Mt Moon, the biggest mountain in Kanto.

Wandering through, I found many Pokémon including Clefairy and Paras, both of which I had seen before.

It was a great mountain to say the least.

Just then, I saw a familiar face.

"Ethan?!" It was Silver. "So, you decided to travel to Kanto officially eh?" he asked. I asked him if he had any luck in finding Giovanni. "I've found some clues, but no luck yet. This is a journey I will be on for years" he noted. "So, how about we have a battle? I have been craving one with you for some time."

That sounded like a plan.

Silver started with Sneasel and I started with Typhlosion. Sneasel used Faint Attack, which Typhlosion took. Typhlosion used Flamethrower, knocking out Sneasel in one.

Next was Golbat vs Ampharos. Golbat used Mean Look on Ampharos. Ampharos then used Thunder, but it missed. Golbat used Confuse Ray. Ampharos was now confused. Ampharos used another Thunder, this time hitting Golbat and taking it down.

Silver then sent out Gengar. Ampharos hurt itself in the confusion and Gengar came in with a Curse. Ampharos was now cursed, but Gengar also took out a huge chunk of its own hp. Ampharos felt the curse, which really hurt. Thankfully, it snapped out of its confusion and used ThunderPunch on Gengar, knocking it out.

Ampharos was almost down at this point. Of course, I couldn't switch out because of Mean Look. Silver sent in Alakazam. Alakazam used Future Sight and Ampharos used ThunderPunch. Alakazam was almost knocked out. Finally, the curse overcame Ampharos and it fainted.

Next, I sent out Togetic. Togetic used Shadow Ball, which was Super Effective on Alakazam and knocked it out

Silver sent out Magneton. I sent out Golem. Magneton used SonicBoom which took 20hp away from Golem. Golem used Earthquake and fainted Magneton. At that point, Future Sight hit and took some health away from Golem.

Finally Silver used Feraligatr. I sent out Venomoth. Venomoth used Psychic. Feraligatr was almost down. Feraligatr used Slash which was a Critical Hit. It took a surprising chunk of health away from Venomoth. Venomoth used another Psychic and beat Feraligatr.

"Thanks for the battle" Silver mentioned. "I gotta get back to the Pokémon Centre." At that point, we saw a Clefable.

Clefable

042

Normal Type

Fairy Pokémon

4'03" (1.3 m)

88.2 lbs (40 kg)

Its very sensitive ears lets it distinguish distant sounds. As a result, it prefers quiet places.

Evolved from Clefairy after exposure to a Moon Stone which in turn evolves from the Baby Pokémon Cleffa at max happiness.

Clefable clearly heard our talking and ran off. We chased after it. "I've realised. Tonight is a full moon" Silver noted. "Something big always happens on Mt Moon when that happens. Maybe that's what Clefable's gone off to".

We got to where Clefable ran to. There was a small field. In this field were multiple Cleffa, Clefairy and Clefable dancing around. "Amazing" Silver mentioned. "It's the dance of the Clefable." We sat in awe as we watched the small pink Pokémon dance and twirl around. One of the Clefairy noticed us and gave us a wave. Multiple Pokémon came over and started dancing around. Everything around us was glowing.

"Saffron City. We are back" Silver said. "Ethan?! How were you with me all this time?" I wasn't sure. I looked back through my journal. Apparently, we had seen multiple Cleffa, Clefairy and Clefable today, but I couldn't recall seeing any. "That is odd. I better get going anyways. I'm going to find my Father".

Looking back through my journal, I realised I still have the Pokedoll. I ran back to the girl's house and gave it to her. In return, she gave me a pass. I could use the Magnet Train!

It was time to go back home for a bit.
