Kawaki leaped from the cave entrance, landing in front of the Clefairy.
The other Clefairy looked at the stranger, their expressions wary.
However, the Clefairy that had been chased by the Druddigon looked at everyone and happily said to them, "Clefairy, Cle~"
The surrounding Clefairy were slightly stunned, and then the wariness in their eyes disappeared.
"Clefairy~!"
But the Clefairy did not focus on Kawaki for too long.
They still had important business to attend to.
That was to use the energy of the Moon Stone to activate the spaceship and return to the sky!
One Clefairy went forward and circled the spaceship, checking the progress of the Moon Stone collection.
Looking at the full pile of Moon Stone in the energy compartment, it excitedly turned back and called out to the other Clefairy, "Cle~! Cle~!"
Hearing this, the eyes of the other surrounding Clefairy instantly lit up.
"Clefairy!"
Amidst the Clefairy's Growl, the surrounding Clefairy happily ran towards the spaceship.
They all neatly squeezed into an opening that seemed to be a hatch, and in a short while, they had all entered the spaceship.
They could finally return to the universe and continue their "great voyage"!
"Cle—Cle!"
Cosmic Power!
Gravity!
The Clefairy glowed with a rich pink light, and the spaceship also began to glow.
The next second, the spaceship, which had originally crashed into Meteor Falls, slowly lifted off the ground with a rumbling sound!
Kawaki's face showed surprise.
In just an instant, he understood the key.
The Clefairy were using the move Cosmic Power to utilize the energy within the Moon Stone, replenishing their own and the spaceship's consumed energy, and then using Gravity to achieve the spaceship's ascent.
No, to be precise, it wasn't ordinary Gravity, but Reverse Gravity!
Original Gravity increases the ground's gravitational pull, hindering the movement of flying Pokémon and Pokémon with the Levitate ability.
But judging by the Clefairy's actions, it seemed they were reducing the ground's gravitational pull and instead increasing the sky's gravitational pull, thereby causing the spaceship to be drawn towards the sky.
Gravity could be used like this?
Genius Clefairy!
In mid-air, just as the spaceship was about to fly out of Meteor Falls, the next second, the light pink glow that had enveloped the spaceship suddenly vanished.
Immediately after, amidst a chorus of Clefairy's gasps and screams, the spaceship crashed back to its original spot with a thud.
The Clefairy scurried out, covered in dirt and dust. One Clefairy checked the spaceship's energy compartment and, seeing the empty Moon Stone, immediately burst into wails.
All the Moon Stone they had painstakingly collected over the past two days had been completely depleted by the spaceship's launch!
Now they really couldn't go back.
To make matters worse, not only was there not enough energy, but the Clefairy also discovered in horror that the spaceship had been damaged in the crash!
"Clefairy…"
The Clefairy sat on the ground, their expressions utterly dejected.
In fact, Clefairy technology was not very advanced; it was just that a long time ago, a Clefairy in the tribe accidentally discovered that by using Cosmic Power combined with a Moon Stone, they could control those large stones (spaceships) to fly.
Thus, the Clefairy's era of cosmic exploration officially began.
Clefairy continuously left the tribe aboard spaceships to explore the starry sky.
Some Clefairy also successfully returned and shared a piece of news with the tribe's Clefairy.
That was, at the end of the universe, there was a place flowing with milk and honey, where there was an endless supply of delicious food and fruit juice, like paradise. Clefairy who reached there could live a happy and joyful life from then on.
So the Clefairy were moved. They collected a large pile of Moon Stone. Although Moon Stone was uncommon in this place, on their home planet, it was just a small stone found everywhere on the roadside.
After collecting enough Moon Stone, the Clefairy officially set off. They prepared to go to that planet to find the place "flowing with milk and honey" and live a happy life there with everyone.
However, the beautiful dream dissipated like a phantom bubble.
They couldn't go back…
Their mission could not be completed.
Now they were going to be trapped in this place.
"Clefairy…"
The Clefairy were dejected, their spirits low.
Kawaki, who witnessed the entire process: "…"
His gaze swept over these Clefairy; almost every Clefairy had a small dark cloud floating above their head, some raining, some heavily overcast.
These indicated that the Clefairy's emotions were very low at the moment.
And in the Clefairy's introduction section, Kawaki discovered the reason.
[It's over, the Moon Stone is used up, the spaceship is broken, everyone is going to be trapped here! —Clefairy]
[There's really no way to leave now. —Clefairy]
[What a terrible day. —Clefairy]
The Moon Stone was used up? Kawaki walked forward and glanced at the energy compartment where the Clefairy stored the Moon Stone, and sure enough, it was now empty.
These ite are the solid form of pure energy; once they react with other external objects and their energy is used, the ite disappears.
And just now, when the Clefairy launched the spaceship, they had clearly consumed all the energy from those Moon Stone.
Now Kawaki knew the reason for the Clefairy's low spirits.
He pondered for a moment, then asked, "How many of those stones do you approximately need to leave this place?"
"Clefairy?"
Although somewhat confused, the Clefairy, being friendly towards the human who had just helped their companion, responded:
"Clefairy!"
One Clefairy stepped forward and gestured.
It meant that they had filled this energy compartment to the brim when they arrived.
Kawaki understood its meaning and asked again, "Fill it up?"
"Clefairy!" The Clefairy nodded.
"Then it's estimated that even if we scour all of Meteor Falls, we won't find that many Moon Stone!"
Hearing this, the Clefairy's spirits sank even lower.
"However, I have a suggestion that might help you," Kawaki said with a smile. His gaze swept over the group of Clefairy in front of him, and after carefully counting, he found that there were a total of twelve Clefairy.
"Clefairy?" The Clefairy immediately looked up.
"How about everyone come to my place first! I run a shop nearby, and it has a lot of space, so you can temporarily live there."
"If you are willing, you can also help me there. As compensation, I will provide you with food and juice, and I can also help you collect Moon Stone."
Clefairy are Pokémon with simple social structures; they quickly understood the meaning.
Soon, a Clefairy exclaimed, "Clefairy?!"
Is it real or fake?
Not only can they get food, but they can also get Moon Stone? Is there such a good thing in the world?
Several Clefairy became excited.
