Chapter 7: The fairies and fables

Sorry its late. This will probably be the last chapter of the year.

The triplets have left Pewter City and are now journeying towards Cerulean City for Alexander’s second Gym badge. They are now at the base of Mount Moon.

“This is Mount Moon. It’s a rather large mountain,” said Alexis.

“Then let’s go now so that we can get through it sooner,” said Alexander, rushing towards the entrance.

The triplets slowly walked through the dark cave, using Charmander’s flame to guide them. Suddenly, a bright light was shining on them.

“What are you three kids doing here?” said a dark-skinned man, who looked sort of like Billy and Tilly Harrison.

“We’re trying to get to Cerulean city,” said Alexander, “Are you Brock? Your brother told us about you.

“Yes, I’m Brock, the guardian of the caves and mountains of the Pokémon world, said the man. “What are your names?”

“I’m Alexandra _____________, and these are my brothers Alexander and Alexis,” said Alexandra.

“So you’re our leader’s three kids. I’ll take you to Cerulean city, since I’m one of the few people who can get through the defences. It’s my duty to help travellers through the caves anyway. You three are very lucky, today the Clefairy have their annual dance around the giant Moon Stone,” said Brock.

The triplets followed Brock, using Charmander’s flame and Brock’s flash light to guide them. They came to a large cavern, with six other entrances. In the middle was a white pedestal with a giant charcoal-coloured rock in the very centre.

“The performance will begin soon,” said Brock, “This is something that not very many people get to see.”

A few hours later, they heard a low rumble as about a hundred Clefairy came into the cavern. They started dancing around the Moon stone, seven on the pedestal and the rest around it. Then, the indentations on the pedestal were filled with a white liquid that came from beneath the Moon Stone. The seven Clefairy that were on the pedestal touched the Moon Stone and started glowing white. When the light faded, the triplets saw that they had evolved into Clefable.

Suddenly, there was a loud boom, and eight claws came down from a newly-formed opening in the ceiling of the cave. They latched onto the pedestal and lifted it, the newly-evolved Clefable and the Moon Stone into the air.

“NO! You fools can’t take the lunar pedestal away. It helps to maintain the balance between light and shadow,” shouted Brock.

“That’s the point,” said the thieves, who revealed themselves to be Vicious, Domino, Miyamoto and Tyson. “The darkness will allow us to take over.”

“As a Guardian, I cannot allow that to happen. Golem, help me,” said Brock. He threw three Poké Balls into the air and each sent out a Golem. “Rock blast. All three of you.”

The three Golem took rocks from the ground and threw it at the Rockets’ balloon, bursting it.

“Boss, we have a problem. Our balloon has been downed. Can you send something to pick us and the pedestal? Thanks” said Domino into a communicator on her wrist.

The pedestal moved back to where it was originally, then shone blue as confirmation.

“We’ll just be taking all those Clefairy and Clefable, as well as the pedestal,” said Miyamoto. She replaced the hooks around the pedestal and threw a net around the Pokémon.

“You’re not taking anything,” said Brock. “Golem, Strategy 23-Defense curl & Rollout combo. But try not to destroy the pedestal for goodness sake.”

The three Golem saluted Brock, then curled up into three balls. Their coats shone, then they rolled at the Rockets, sending them flying through the opening in the ceiling. Unfortunately, a helicopter with a large red capital letter R came to their rescue.

“Haha. Suckers,” shouted the Rockets. They slowly started to lift the pedestal.

“Golem, I think its time for our secret weapon. Use Stone edge to cut that net into little pieces of rope,” said Brock.

“Bulbasaur, use Razor leaf,” said Alexandra.

Bulbasaur sent two razor sharp leaves spinning at the rope connecting the helicopter and the net, cutting it. Then white rings appeared around the Golem, then turned into small brown stones which went flying at the net, tearing it into shreds.

The pedestal returned once more to its place at the centre of the cave.

“Noooooo, the boss will be furious that we failed against a bunch of kids,” moaned the Rockets.

“Do you mean to imply that I am a child? Then you have made a grave error,” said Brock seriously. “Golem, Hyper Beam.

The three Golem sent a massive combined Hyper beam at the Rockets, blasting them far, far away.

“Now come on children,” he said.

The triplets quietly followed him out of the cave. But then, just outside the area with the pedestal, Alexandra tripped over a rock, and instead of throwing the poké ball she was holding in her hand at a Clefairy, she hit one on the head with it, knocking it out but successfully capturing it.

“Wow, what a fluke capture,” she said. She stood up and struck a pose, “I got a Clefairy!”
