Chapter 19: A Massive Clefairy Outbreak!
🕑 Added 2025-09-07 13:40:55 +0000 UTCPokémon players are folks who love everything equally. As they say, everyone's got their favorites. Whether it's the common Caterpie you see everywhere, the rare and elusive Garchomp, or even the sultry Jynx, there's always someone who'll fall for them. Not to mention the legendary Pokémon.
Even though Kawaki's still running his Daycare and doesn't have many powerful Pokémon around him, some things are better done sooner than later. Having learned about Latias ahead of time, once he grows stronger in the future, he can prepare early to witness firsthand those "legendary beasts" that sit at the very top of this world's ecological pyramid.
Kawaki turned and fetched some Pokémon treats from his house to feed the Taillow in front of him.
The Taillow gave him a satisfied look, then lowered its head and began enjoying the meal.
Taking advantage of this moment, Kawaki checked the Taillow's detailed information.
【Pokémon: Taillow】
【Gender: Male】
【Ability: Guts】
【Moves: Growl, Peck, Focus Energy, Quick Attack, Wing Attack】
【Status: Healthy】
【Mood: ️️️Delighted】
【Happiness: 50】
【Friendship: 20 (Another free caretaker)】
【Description: Not having to forage for food yourself is so comfortable! It'd be even better if there were those sweet square candies. —Taillow.】
Kawaki: "..."
So this Taillow was just too lazy to forage for itself and deliberately came over to mooch food and drinks, huh?
"Another"?
Could it be that this Taillow has been fed by other people before?
No wonder it seemed so practiced...
But this Taillow was clearly dissatisfied with the food he provided, wasn't it?
Sweet square candies - Kawaki immediately thought of Pokéblocks.
Those were incredibly delicious treats for Pokémon. Not only did they taste great, but they could also enhance their beauty, making their fur more lustrous and smooth.
It's just that Kawaki didn't know how to make them yet. He'd have to find time to learn later.
But eating aside, fooling around aside, the Taillow didn't skimp on his gift.
After the Taillow finished eating, another line of information appeared before Kawaki's eyes.
【Taillow's mood increased, Happiness +20, received Taillow's gift: "New Information."】
【Taillow revealed new information to you: Two days ago, a super big "star" fell from the sky and crashed into Meteor Falls. A whole bunch of pink Pokémon came running out of it. The star seemed to be their spaceship.】
Having filled its belly, the Taillow patted its butt and flew away, just like a scumbag bird that doesn't recognize you once it puts its pants back on.
Kawaki looked at the information before him with some surprise.
It wasn't information about Latias and Latios anymore?
A star fell from the sky and crashed into Meteor Falls.
Star, pink Pokémon, alien spaceship...
Could it be referring to Pokémon like Clefairy?
Clefairy, a Fairy-type Pokémon that belonged to a social species, possessing a human-like social structure and holding rituals to worship the moon.
There were rumors that they didn't actually belong to this planet, but had arrived on this planet aboard spaceships long, long ago.
If Taillow's information wasn't wrong, this meant that two days ago, a spaceship full of Clefairy had landed at nearby Meteor Falls!
Clefairy were extremely rare Pokémon, but they were gentle-natured and very reliable. In some regions, Clefable, which Clefairy evolved into, were even used as assistants by Nurse Joy at Pokémon Centers.
Kawaki filed this information away in his mind. Since the Daycare wasn't far from Meteor Falls, he could investigate after closing up later and see if he could catch a few Clefairy to help out at the Daycare.
Just then, he suddenly heard Bewear's voice from behind.
"Goo!"
Kawaki turned around to see Bewear leading over a girl with golden hair.
A customer!
Kawaki immediately perked up. He returned to the main hall and introduced himself: "Hello, this is Kawaki's Daycare. I'm the owner, Kawaki. What service do you need?"
The blonde girl looked around curiously at the surroundings.
"I remember there wasn't a Daycare here before," she said.
"We just opened a few days ago," Kawaki replied with a smile.
"I see." The blonde girl pulled out two Poké Balls from her pocket and said straightforwardly: "I'd like to board these two Pokémon here for a while."
Board Pokémon? Kawaki raised an eyebrow, then pitched: "Do you need breeding services? This Daycare has a very special egg hatching method that can make offspring Pokémon learn moves they normally couldn't master. Of course, the price would be somewhat higher than usual."
Hearing this, the girl was slightly stunned.
Make offspring Pokémon learn moves they normally couldn't master? Did he mean inherited moves in the offspring?
Kawaki saw what the girl was thinking and smiled: "That's right, but it's not just inherited moves. It also includes secret techniques created by our family, using egg inheritance to make Pokémon learn moves that would normally be absolutely impossible for them to learn."
The girl couldn't help but fall into thought: "For example?"
Kawaki smiled and began giving examples: "Well, do you think a Pokémon like Growlithe could learn Tackle?"
"Of course it can!" the girl said. Not only could it, but quite easily too.
"What about Outrage?"
The girl thought for a moment: "That's possible too."
Although it would be somewhat difficult, it wasn't impossible for Growlithe. It just wouldn't be as easy as learning Tackle.
Kawaki watched the girl's expression and continued asking: "What about Sleep Powder?"
As soon as those words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from clear skies.
"Sleep Powder?" The girl looked shocked.
Sleep Powder was a move that had absolutely no connection to Growlithe - their compatibility was practically zero.
Among all types of Pokémon, only Bug-type and Grass-type Pokémon were particularly good at this move, but Growlithe, being a Fire-type...
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
But Kawaki just smiled. He whistled, and soon an orange-red figure came running down the stairs.
It was clearly a Growlithe that hadn't fully grown up yet.
"Growlithe, show this customer what you can do," Kawaki said with a smile.
"Woof woof!"
Growlithe wagged its tail happily. It looked at the girl in front of it, then suddenly sneezed hard.
The next second, countless sparkling powder-like particles flew out from its sneeze, spreading in all directions.
That move...
It was clearly the Grass-type move Sleep Powder!
The girl's pupils contracted, and she was completely stunned.
A Growlithe that could use Sleep Powder...
This... this... this...
This Makes No Sense!
