## Chapter 263: Clefairy's New Life
Clefable's wings are very small and cannot support them in flight. At most, they can reduce resistance to their movement, speed up their actions, and make them appear lighter. So, the Clefable spun around in the air once and then landed.
Just like that, the Clefable bounced and jumped, performing a beautiful dance under the moonlight.
As time passed, the Clefable's dance didn't stop until the full moon disappeared. Bai Feng also walked out from the shadows at this time.
Seeing the appearance of this strange Human, Bai Feng, the Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable, who had just been leisurely and carefree, all began to scream in panic.
They ran around the stone chamber in terror, but the Entrance/Exit was blocked by Bai Feng, and the hollow position above their heads was too high. Although they had wings, they couldn't truly fly, so they couldn't get out at all.
Bai Feng didn't speak and stood quietly at the Entrance/Exit with Bai Ye, watching the Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable go from screaming in panic to scrambling to escape in a fluster, and then to trembling and hiding in the corner.
Only when they quieted down did Bai Feng speak with a smile: "Calmed down?"
"Clefable~" What do you want to do?
One of the Clefable asked in a low voice while trembling.
This Clefable should be the Leader of this group of Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable. It was quite responsible. Although it was clearly very scared, it still bravely stood at the front, protecting all its fellow Tribe Member behind it.
Bai Feng replied, "Hmm? Isn't my purpose obvious enough? Of course, it's to Catch you!"
"Clefable~ Clefable~" You're dreaming, we won't go with you!
The Clefable Leader said fearfully and angrily.
Bai Feng asked doubtfully, "Can you decide that?"
Saying that, a purple radiance flashed in his eyes, and then he raised a hand towards the Clefable. The Clefable then found itself unable to move.
"Clefairy~ Clefable~ Clefable~"
Under the control of Bai Feng's Psychic Power, the Clefable Leader slowly levitated into the air. It kept gesturing with its hands and kicking its feet wildly, but it couldn't break free from the Psychic Power's restraint no matter what.
Although this Clefable was the Leader, its Strength was not strong. It should be said that the Strength of this entire Clefairy Tribe was not strong.
Seeing their Leader caught, the other Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable all glared at Bai Feng angrily. Some even used Moves to try and Attack Bai Feng.
Unfortunately, these Attacks couldn't get close to Bai Feng and were intercepted by Bai Ye using Light Screen and Reflect.
Bai Feng said to the Clefable Leader with a smile again, "See, you can't decide, can you? As long as I want to Catch you, none of you can stop me."
Hearing Bai Feng's words, the Clefable Leader, who had been struggling desperately, suddenly deflated and quieted down, its face full of a dejected expression.
At this time, Bai Feng withdrew his Psychic Power and slowly lowered the Clefable Leader back to the Ground.
"Although I want to Catch you, I have no ill intentions towards you. I was just playing a little joke."
Hearing Bai Feng's words, except for the Clefable Leader who was still immersed in dejection, the other Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable all glared at Bai Feng angrily.
Who wants to joke with you!
Bai Feng didn't care about their anger. Instead, he smiled and said to them, "Look, if I wanted to forcefully Catch you with Power, none of you would be able to stop me. Even if it wasn't me who came today, someone else would come tomorrow.
Living sneakily hidden here must be very hard, right? Every day you not only have to worry about food, but also guard against others discovering your hiding place.
Since that's the case, why not come with me? I can promise you a life where you won't have to worry about food and drink, and I won't harm you. You work for me, and I will also pay you corresponding compensation and provide you with shelter, so you won't have to live in fear every day."
Bai Feng enticed the Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable little by little, then began to tell them about the various benefits of working for him, leaving the Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable stunned.
There's actually such a good thing in the world? The Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable couldn't help but think, and even the Clefable Leader's heart began to waver.
After talking about the generous compensation for working for him, Bai Feng began to paint a blueprint of a beautiful future life for them.
"The Pokémon Trainer who come to Mt. Moon for adventure all want to find you. Once your hiding place is discovered by them, your Tribe will likely be torn apart.
But following me is different. I can provide work positions for all of you, allowing you to live a prosperous life, and no one will have to be separated from their fellow Tribe Member.
Don't you want to bask in the sunlight openly? Don't you want to play outside anytime, anywhere? Don't you want to dance under the moonlight without any worries?
A carefree life is what you should be living, not hiding timidly in dark Cave like this, living in fear every day."
After saying this, the Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable all looked at the Clefable Leader together, their hearts wavering greatly. The Clefable Leader's face was full of a struggling expression.
Seeing this, Bai Feng began to promote himself.
"Look, I could clearly take all of you by force, but I am willing to spend precious time here earnestly advising you and explaining the pros and cons. This shows that I am not a bad person; otherwise, I wouldn't need to consider your feelings at all.
When you encounter such a good Boss like me, why aren't you seizing the Opportunity? What are you hesitating for? Miss this village, and you won't find this shop! Are you going to stay holed up in this dark place forever?"
Indeed, as Bai Feng's speaking speed got faster and faster, the hearts of the Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable also became more urgent. They gathered around the Clefable Leader and discussed in low voices.
"Clefairy~ Clefable~" Is what you said true? You really won't harm us? You'll protect us? You'll give us work Opportunities? And pay us compensation?
Finally, the Clefable Leader couldn't help but look at Bai Feng and ask. If possible, it certainly didn't want its Companions to live a life of constantly hiding.
Actually, a long time ago, the Member of their Tribe were not this few, but as more and more Pokémon Trainer came to Mt. Moon for adventure, their hiding places were repeatedly discovered, and many of their fellow Tribe Member were forcefully taken away like that.
Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable are all very rare Pokémon. Once a Pokémon Trainer discovers their Trace, they will usually pursue them relentlessly, so they have always lived in fear.
"Of course, I have no need to lie to you!" Bai Feng said with certainty.
Hearing Bai Feng's answer, the Clefable Leader turned around and consulted with its Companions in hushed tones.
After an unknown amount of time passed, the sun had slowly risen into the air, and the Clefable finally made their Determination.
"Clefairy~ Clefable~" We are willing to go with you.
The Clefable Leader stepped forward and said to Bai Feng.
A brilliant smile bloomed on Bai Feng's face. "Very good! A wise decision! Without further ado, let's move now!"
Saying that, Bai Feng opened the Distortion Space portal and had the Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable line up and walk in. Until only the Clefable Leader was left, it pointed at the giant Moon Stone and said to Bai Feng, "Clefable~" And this!
This is their Heirloom; it absolutely cannot be lost.
Bai Feng gave it a reassuring Gaze. "Don't worry, I won't forget!" Saying that, he used his Psychic Power to control the giant Moon Stone and slowly moved it into the Distortion Space.
He had just counted the number of Member in the Clefairy Tribe: 15 Cleffa, 14 Clefairy, and 28 Clefable, totaling 57 Pokémon. That should be enough!
By the time Bai Feng and Bai Ye came out from the Clefairy Tribe's hiding place, the time of day was already bright. The golden sunlight shone on Mt. Moon, making Bai Feng's Mood incredibly open.
A beautiful day has begun!
"Mother, I've already Caught the Clefairy, let's go back!" Bai Feng said to Bai Ye.
"Gardevoir~"
Bai Ye nodded with a smile.
Then Bai Feng released Dragonair and rode on it with Bai Ye, flying down the Mountain.
The Pokémon Trainer adventuring below looked up and saw a Dragonair whistling overhead.
They looked at the departing Dragonair, then looked at the Geodude and Sandshrew beside them, and couldn't help but sigh about different people having different destinies.
Around noon, Bai Feng successfully returned to Pallet Town. As soon as he got Home, he saw Red using a Pidgey to Battle against Ash Ketchum, who was commanding Pikachu.
Hmm... rather than a Battle, it was more like playing, because four-year-old Ash Ketchum didn't understand Battles at all and was completely giving random commands.
It seems the Father and son are getting along well!
"Ash Ketchum! Big Brother!"
Bai Feng directed Dragonair to land and waved to greet Ash Ketchum and Red.
Seeing Bai Feng return, Red looked surprised. "You're back so soon? It seems you must have succeeded in Catching them. I thought you'd have to spend a few days there to find the Clefairy!"
After recalling Dragonair, Bai Feng said to Red, "Where would I have that much time? If I couldn't find them in a day or two, I was planning to just spend Money and buy them at the Pokémon Day Care."
"That's true." Thinking of Bai Feng's wealth, Red felt there was indeed no need to waste too much time searching for Pokémon.
"I plan to return to Kalos tomorrow." After the two chatted for a bit about their experiences in Mt. Moon and with Clefairy, Bai Feng suddenly said.
Red frowned upon hearing this. "So soon? You've only been here for a few days. Won't you stay longer?"
Bai Feng shook his head. "No, it's very busy in Kalos every day. Besides, I'm still in school, and taking too long a leave isn't good!"
Red himself had been Traveling outside since he was ten, so he had forgotten that Bai Feng was still attending school. Thus, he could only say regretfully, "Alright then. I originally wanted you to stay longer!"
Having been separated from his younger brother for so many years and finally finding him, Red naturally hoped to spend more time with him. Unfortunately, his younger brother had settled in the distant Kalos Region.
At this moment, Ash Ketchum came over with Pikachu. Hearing that Bai Feng was leaving, he immediately hugged Bai Feng's leg, pouting, and looked up to ask:
"Uncle is leaving again? I don't want you to go!"
Seeing this, Red patted his head and said, "If there's an Opportunity, Father will take you to Uncle's Home as a guest."
Ash Ketchum's eyes sparkled upon hearing this as he looked at Red. "Really?"
"Of course, Father won't have to go out to work anymore and will have plenty of time to spend with you and Mother. I'll take you to Uncle's Home after a while!" Red replied with a smile. He himself also wanted to see where Bai Feng lived.
"Yay! Yay!"
"Pika~ Pika~"
Ash Ketchum happily bounced and jumped with Pikachu in his arms. He had been looking forward to visiting Uncle's Home for a long time.
The next morning, Bai Feng bid farewell to Red, Ash Ketchum, and Delia, and boarded the Aircraft returning to Kalos.
On the way back to Kalos, Bai Feng performed Rejuvenation on the Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable who had newly joined the Fangxing Mountain family.
Indeed, no Pokémon could resist the temptation of Rejuvenation. Feeling the changes in their bodies, they became more convinced by Bai Feng. Their originally worried emotions gradually disappeared, and genuine smiles appeared on their faces, finally completely accepting Bai Feng.
Afterward, Bai Feng began to use his Golden Finger to help them learn the Cosmic Power Move.
Only a few Clefairy and Clefable knew this Move; most others didn't. Therefore, Bai Feng needed to first figure out its energy operation principle and then teach it to the Clefairy and Clefable hand-in-hand.
As for Cleffa, they did not possess the conditions to learn this Move.
As a Psychic-type Move, Cosmic Power is not easy to learn, especially when using this Move. It requires using Psychic Power to sense the ethereal and elusive universe and then draw energy from it.
Just the step of sensing the distant universe stumped the Clefairy and Clefable.
It wasn't until they returned to Biyi City that only a few Clefairy and Clefable with relatively high comprehension barely managed to learn Cosmic Power, but they still couldn't use it proficiently. Those who hadn't learned it needed to work harder.
After returning to Fangxing Mountain, Bai Feng released the Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable from the Distortion Space and took them on a tour of Fangxing Mountain, telling them that this would be their Home from now on, and pointing to all the Pokémon on the Mountain and telling them they could freely make friends with any Pokémon here.
Hearing this, the Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable were very happy. When they lived in Mt. Moon, they didn't dare to easily make friends with other Pokémon, fearing they would expose their Tribe's hiding place. Now, they finally didn't have to live in fear anymore.
The Pokémon of Fangxing Mountain expressed a warm welcome to the arrival of the Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable, fully making the Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable feel what enthusiasm was like.
The Clefairy and Clefable were a bit more mature and also a bit more reserved, but the lively and simple Cleffa had fewer reservations. Before long, they were playing together with the other Pokémon on the Mountain, starting to roam all over the Mountain, completely releasing their innocent and carefree nature.
Seeing the Cleffa with their cheerful laughter and bright smiles, the older Clefable suddenly realized how much suppression their previous life of hiding had brought to the Cleffa. No wonder the number of newly born Cleffa in the Tribe had been decreasing.
It seems their choice was not wrong!
