Author's Note

Sorry for the incredibly long delay. Though because of the release of Sun and Moon, I've created several new ideas for this fiction, but this will also require a few changes to the entirety of this series of fictions later, so be on the look out for those added bonuses. Take care everypony!

06 - The Moonstone Caper Part 2

It was sunset on Mount Moon. Our heroes have already dealt with Team Rocket and Meowth, but they are eager to know more about the Mountain. Will they find out about Clefairy's Moonstone? Ash and Seymour are eager to know.

Ash, Misty, and Brock decide to take a rest near the entrance. Brock got out a can and opened it up. "Hey, what's that?" Ash asked.

"This is Ponymon Food that I made from a special recipe," Brock replied. "I mix and match special ingredients for each Ponymon Type." Brock gave a piece to Ash's Pikachu. It nibbled on it happily.

"How is it Pikachu?" Ash asked. Pikachu gave a satisfied smile.

"Hey maybe I should try some," Seymour said grabbing a piece. Misty facehoofed herself thinking to herself that this was NOT happening. Seymour then ate the piece. He almost hurled in his mouth.

"Well you probably don't like it, but the Ponymon do..." Brock said quietly to himself.

Pikachu then ran over to the Clefairy Misty just rescued. They started talking to each other. "Hey Pikachu, what's up?" Ash asked his trusty starter. Pikachu gave a signal like it's saying follow me! The two ran off into the woods. Ash and Seymour followed. "Where are we heading off to?"

By the time they reached their destination, it was already nightfall. Pikachu pointed to another cave. "Ash, look!" Seymour said. Ash looked at the entrance. The Ponymon, Ash, and Seymour soon went into the cave only to see a giant stone in the center of an open ceiling cave. The two stared in wonder at the stone glittering under the full moon. "Th-the ore of the M-m-m-moonstone," Seymour said, still in awe.

"The Moonstone legend is true then," Ash added. Ash then saw the Clefairy put the piece of the Moonstone in between two other pieces. A ring glowed around the Moonstone as well as itself. More Clefairy then walked over to it. One walked over to them and started communicating to Ash and Seymour. "I think it's saying hello," Ash said to Seymour. Then the Clefairy started dancing around the Moonstone.

"Amazing, the Clefairy have formed a society of their very own," Seymour finally replied.

"What was Clefairy telling you anyways Pikachu?" Ash said to his Ponymon. Pikachu started talking to Ash about what the Clefairy were up to. "The Clefairy, are saying prayers to the Moonstone?" His Pikachu nodded. "Awesome!"

"It all makes sense!" Seymour suddenly said. "Ponies... and Ponymon... they were destined to be together and ride through the infinite cosmos and to make the long journey to the stars above! Maybe... just maybe... Ponymon were around through the birth of the Ponies..."

"I guess that goes for everypony," Ash added, "even Team Rocket."

"Oh what a touching moment," James interrupted from the cave entrance. "Too bad it all ends here." Jessie and Meowth suddenly appeared as well.

"You three just don't know when to quit," Ash said back completely forgetting the last thing he said. "Can't you see the Clefairy are happy? Get out of here!"

"Not so fast!" James threw Koffing's Ponyball. It opened and his Ponymon appeared. "Use your Smokescreen attack now!" Koffing then emitted its smoke around the cave.

"Oh no, not this again!" Ash said completely unprepared. Brock's Zubat suddenly appeared using its Whirlwind attack. The smoke suddenly cleared as Brock ran over to them.

"The Moonstone vanished!" Ash said looking at the hole that took its place. "Brock, do you think you can use Onix and make it go after Team Rocket with me and Pikachu?"

"It is worth the shot," Brock replied as he threw Onix's Ponyball. Onix then appeared. "Zubat return!" Zubat went back to its Ponyball. "Onix, use dig to catch Team Rocket before they escape." Onix suddenly dug its way underground.

"Pikachu, hop on!" Ash commanded. Pikachu mounted onto Ash. He took a running start and then flew out of the cave.

Team Rocket was seen riding down a hill with the Moonstone in a cart laughing happily. "This is what happens when a plan works! Good thinking Meowth!" James said.

"It was nothing, really!" the talking Meowth replied.

Onix suddenly appeared from the ground stopping Team Rocket. The cart snapped and the Moonstone landed on the ground as the Cohorts landed on the ground weakly. Ash then flew over to them and landed on the ground. "Gotcha!" he taunted.

"You won't get away with this," James said. "Once we're back at HQ we will truly be unstoppable."

"The Moonstone can't work on your Ponymon," Ash replied smiling. He paused. "But I know one species that can." As if on cue, Clefairy started coming out of the hole Onix dug. They surrounded Team Rocket while one went over to Ash. His Pikachu jumped down to the Clefairy. It gave a jolt of electricity to the Pikachu charging it up. Pikachu's cheeks then started discharging electricity. "Did you just teach it a new move?" Clefairy nodded and tried to explain what it was. "Thunderbolt?" he asked the Clefairy. It nodded. "Awesome!" Then the Clefairy surrounding Team Rocket started waving their fingers back and forth like a metronome.

"What are they doing?" Jessie and Meowth weakly asked.

"That move is called Metronome," James replied. "It allows the user of the move to use any move at random."

Pikachu started moving its head side to side. The Clefairy started to light up like they were going to perform Self Destruct. "Ah! Run away!" Meowth called out.

"Not this time Meowth, Pikachu use Thunderbolt!" Pikachu suddenly lit up with electricity and sent a huge bolt of lightnig at Team Rocket zapping them in place. The ground suddenly cracked around Team Rocket.

"Oh no!" the Cohorts said in unison. The Clefairy suddenly exploded in unison. (Well, they're still alive but they're surrounded in an explosion they emitted.) The Moonstone also shattered into many fragments. "Blasting off twice, that isn't so nice!"

Twinkle!

The Moonstone suddenly fell down slowly on some of the Clefairy evolving them into Clefable. Brock and Seymour ran up to Ash. "The Moonstone is destroyed, but it seems as though the Clefairy are evolving," Seymour said in an amazed way.

"Those are Clefable, one of the rarest Ponymon here in Kanto!" Brock replied.

"For your troubles you two, I wanna give you these." Seymour pulled out eight rare candies. "These will guarantee that your Ponymon will evolve into stronger forms!" Ash put four into his bag as well as Brock.

"Thanks Seymour. I hope we will meet each other again," Ash said smiling.

"You're Welcome! Take care now!" Ash, Pikachu, and Brock then walked off. Clefairy waved goodbye to Ash.

Ash, Pikachu and Brock met up with Misty at a fork in the road. "So, how'd it go?" she asked.

"Everything turned out alright in the end," Ash replied.

"I'm glad to hear," Misty replied.

Ash looked at a sign behind her. "Hey, if we take a right it'll take us straight to Cerulean City!"

"I guess we were heading the right way," Brock replied. "There is something else written here."

"I wonder what it says." Ash looked at the bottom right of it and read the writing. "Gary was here, I thought I should tell everypony." Ash looked up. "We can't let him be one step ahead of us. Everypony, let's go!" Ash lead the way with his Pikachu. Brock and Misty quickly followed.
