Pokemon: Ace's Adventures!

Chapter 9: Chapter 9:Clefairy The Tank!



Ace wandered through the dimly lit corridors of Mount Moon, his trusted Smeargle walking faithfully by his side. The echo of their footsteps bounced off the rocky walls, occasionally interrupted by the flapping wings of Zubats darting through the air.

Ace waved them off with mild irritation. "No offense, Smeargle, but I'm not looking for a Zubat for my Kanto team. Maybe I'll consider one when we get to Johto."

Smeargle barked in agreement, flicking his tail like a paintbrush to shoo away one particularly persistent Zubat.

As they ventured deeper into the cave, Ace suddenly froze. A pink figure emerged from the shadows—a Clefairy. The Pokémon stood still for a moment, blinking at him with its wide, shining eyes, before breaking into an excited squeal and bounding forward.

"Hey, wait—what the—!" Ace exclaimed as the Clefairy leapt into his arms, nuzzling him with a joyful expression.

The confusion on Ace's face gave way to realization. He stared at the Clefairy, his thoughts racing. Could it be…?

"Clefairy," he began hesitantly, "are you… the same Cleffa Chloe and I met back when we were kids?"

Clefairy gave an enthusiastic nod and rubbed its cheeks against his chest.

"Wow, it's really you! Long time no see, huh?" Ace laughed, holding the little Pokémon tightly.

Clefairy jumped down, motioned for him to follow, and began skipping deeper into the cave. Smeargle exchanged a curious glance with Ace before following.

"Where are you taking me?" Ace wondered aloud, cautiously keeping pace.

Soon, the tunnel widened, and Ace found himself standing in a massive chamber bathed in the faint glow of a colossal Moon Stone. His jaw dropped as he took in the sight of dozens of Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable gathered around the mystical rock.

"This… this is amazing," Ace whispered. He remembered the episode from the anime where something similar happened. "So this is real…"

Clefairy waved to her kin and began chattering excitedly, pointing at Ace and Smeargle. The Pokémon regarded him curiously before approaching cautiously. A Cleffa tugged at his pants, and Ace laughed, crouching to pet it.

Before long, Ace was surrounded by the playful Fairy-types. Smeargle had joined in the fun, racing around with a group of Clefairy and Cleffa, his tail flicking playfully.

Ace released the rest of his team to join the fun. Elekid immediately started a game of tag with some Cleffa, while Mankey attempted to show off his strength by lifting small boulders, earning cheers from the younger Pokémon. Staryu stayed close to the lake in the chamber but shot an impressive Water Gun into the air, creating a shimmering fountain that dazzled the Clefairy.

As the hours passed, Ace checked the time and realized it was getting late. He reluctantly called his Pokémon back, preparing to leave. "Alright, everyone, it's time to head out," he announced.

But Clefairy looked heartbroken. She grabbed Ace's hand, shaking her head furiously.

"What's wrong?" Ace asked gently. "You don't want me to leave?"

Clefairy nodded, tears brimming in her eyes. She looked back at her mother, a majestic Clefable, who stepped forward with a calm, reassuring presence. Clefable spoke in its melodic cries, glancing between Ace and Clefairy.

Ace didn't understand the words, but he got the gist of it. Clefable seemed to be suggesting something to Clefairy, who looked shocked at first but then nodded slowly. The little Pokémon hugged her mother tightly before bounding back into Ace's arms.

"Wait… you want to come with me?" Ace asked in surprise.

Clefairy nodded enthusiastically.

Clefable stepped forward again, handing Ace three Moon Stones with a solemn expression. Ace accepted them, bowing slightly. "Thank you. I promise I'll take good care of her."

Pulling out a Pokéball, Ace gently tapped it against Clefairy's head. The Pokémon disappeared into the ball, and after a moment's pause, the ball dinged, signaling the capture.

Ace held the Pokéball up, a wide grin on his face. "Welcome to the team, Clefairy."

The Clefable clan gathered around, waving their goodbyes as Ace recalled his other Pokémon and prepared to leave. "Thanks for everything," he said, giving the group a warm smile. "I'll make sure Clefairy grows strong and happy."

Clefable gave a nod of approval as Ace turned and began the trek back through the cave, Smeargle at his side.

As they emerged from Mount Moon and the sunlight bathed his face, Ace looked down at Clefairy's Pokéball. "Looks like we've got an amazing new teammate, Smeargle," he said with a grin.

Smeargle barked happily, wagging his tail.

Ace retrieved his Pokédex and scanned Clefairy's Pokéball with excitement. The device beeped, and the information appeared on the screen:

[Name: Clefairy, the Fairy Pokémon

Description: Its magical and cute appeal has many admirers. It is rare and found only in certain areas.

Type: Fairy

Ability: Magic Guard

Gender: Female

Moves: Charm, Copycat, Defense Curl, Disarming Voice, Pound, Sing, Life Dew, Gravity, Metronome, Healing Wish, Heal Pulse, Heal Bell]

Ace stared at the screen, his jaw practically on the ground.

"Whoa…" he murmured, his voice filled with awe. "This Clefairy is insane!"

He began scrolling through her move list, each entry making his grin grow wider.

'Charm for weakening opponents, Life Dew for healing the team, and Heal Bell to cure status conditions…' Ace's thoughts raced. 'Healing Wish is a game-changer in tough battles, and don't even get me started on Metronome! Who knows what wild move might pop out of that one?'

He rubbed his chin, contemplating her ability. "Magic Guard, huh?" he muttered. "That means she won't take damage from things like poison, burns, or even weather effects. It's perfect for a healer. She's practically a battlefield medic!"

Ace's excitement reached new heights as he realized the full potential of his newest teammate. "No wonder she's so special. She's got to be the alpha Clefable's daughter."

Smeargle tilted his head, curious about Ace's enthusiasm, but Ace was too absorbed to notice.

"This Clefairy isn't just good—she's incredible! With her moves and ability, she's going to be a tanky healer who can keep the whole team in fighting shape," Ace declared, his fists clenching in excitement.

He glanced down at the Pokéball in his hand. "Alright, Clefairy," he said softly, smiling, "let's make sure your mom's faith in me wasn't misplaced. I'll train you to be the best healer tank this team has ever seen."

Smeargle barked in agreement, wagging his tail.

Looking out toward the path ahead, Ace felt a renewed sense of purpose. "Pewter City, here we come," he said, sliding Clefairy's Pokéball into his belt.

With his incredible new teammate by his side, Ace couldn't wait to see what other adventures awaited him.

With his team stronger than ever and his resolve renewed, Ace set off toward Pewter City, the next chapter of his adventure awaiting him.
