"These looks easy at first, but they are actually pretty hard. And I only have around 1,176 hours or 49 days to accomplish what I can, so that I could get more rewards." Clyde said to himself.

"Morpheus, show me the data for finding a dawn stone."

"Initiating branch..... Data displayed."

> Data

° Dawn Stone

¬ A spherical blue-green colored evolutionary stone that was known to evolve a male Kirlia into Gallade and a female Snorunt into Froslass. It is said that it is the only evolutionary stone that requires a Pokèmon to have a specific gender for evolution.

¬ It could be found on the ground which are rich in both sun and moon essences.

"Oh, so this is how the Data Branch works. It's like talking to Siri, but for me, it's Morpheus, who's a little grouchy." Clyde stated.

"Who's grouchy?" Morpheus suddenly interjected.

"I- I- am, I am grouchy." He said while stuttering. After being surprised by Morpheus for a while there, Clyde continued. "Going back to the data, it is really similar with what I read on my brother's library. It's just a summary of the different books that I've read. Now, for the Dawn stone, it looks like I could find them on mountains, since they are both more exposed to the sun and the moon. I guess I'm gonna start planning on how to accomplish my tasks."

"But before that, I need to find some shelter before it gets dark. I need to be more careful since I'm in the wilds."

Looking up, all Clyde could see were the shadows of the trees. Searching for a trace of a mountain in the horizon, Clyde spotted one on the far east. Now, with Clyde determining the direction, he now prepared himself for the journey ahead. Walking for a while, Clyde was a "little clumsy". He kept on tripping on his own legs, wherein Morpheus mocked him with "So much for a smarty pants."

Ignoring Morpheus the Jester, Clyde continued on familiarising with his current body. Think about it, how did Morpheus learn all that? But he remembered that Morpheus got all the knowledge that he has. Even the social media rants and punchlines, all of them Morpheus has acquired.

After half an hour, he barely familliarised with his own body. Now finding a shelter was Clyde's first goal for the day. Walking for a while, Clyde finally saw a tree with a big shade. It has a trunk hole wherein he perfectly fits in. Glad at the opportunity, Clyde rushed towards the tree, but his logic bested his excitement and he calmed down. Analysing the scenario, wonderful resting spots such as this tree are favorite resting place of Bug Pokèmons.

Looking carefully, Clyde saw the that the branches of the trees has Caterpies crawling on it, and the green ones on the trunk that he thought to be leaves were Metapods. He also saw some Metapods hanging on the branches of the tree.

Clyde was wondering why did he not notice that he entered the territory of Butterfree. He forgot, now that he is Ralts, who was known to be a non-threatening Pokèmon, they ignored him. Since I'm a Psychic/Fairy Type, I give out a good and gentle vibe towards other Pokèmons.

Actually, Clyde felt strange for a while now, he feels this positive and sometimes negative energy around him. He thought that it was just his imagination, but it was actually the emotions of Pokèmons around him. He just didn't saw them due to the limited eyesight and Psychic powers he currently possesses. Ralts has two protruding antennas that helps it to detect emotions of people and other Pokèmons.

Calming down, Clyde then tried to carefully approach the Pokèmons. After being a meter away and still having no reactions, he continued to go to the tree. Clyde saw them up close then felt that they were... cute. Yes, cute, Clyde has real different perspectives in viewing things. Anyways, when Clyde wanted to approach more, a Caterpie suddenly fell and fell in front of him. Being shocked, Clyde instinctively shouts and used psychic to levitate Caterpie.

"Wuuu~!"

Caterpie looked strangely at the white Pokèmon, it did not know this Pokèmon but he felt that it won't harm him. But then, it felt that it was floating, and suddenly it felt happy! I am flying! My dream came true! Due to its excitement, Caterpie let out a shout.

"Coowieee~!"

Looking at Caterpie, who was enjoying levitation, Clyde calmed down. He was shocked and worried that Caterpie might get hurt due to his fall, but he forgot that Pokèmons have different bodies. They get hurt lesser compared to humans. Due to this, Clyde still practices the martial arts he have learned from Old Sam, every time he wakes up in the morning.

Letting Caterpie down, who was now sad that he's not floating anymore, Clyde felt the emotions of the Caterpie. He felt pure curiosity, a bit of disappointment and good intentions from the Pokèmon. This Caterpie was different from usual ones, due to shock, Clyde neglected the color of this Caterpie. It was color yellow! 'A shiny Caterpie!' Clyde thought.

Such rare encounter it is, meeting with a shiny Pokèmon; this made Clyde excited. Shiny Pokèmons are rarer compared to their counterparts. It is said that shiny Pokèmons has unusual characteristics that a normal Pokèmon does not have, however it is still not verified.

After feeling the ground, Caterpie got disappointed for a while, but then remembered that it was eating. It was supposedly reaching for a leaf, but then it fell down the tree while trying to reach it. That's the reason why there was a falling Caterpie out of knowhere. Feeling the hunger, Caterpie released a string shot towards the branch. A shiny silver string approached the branch but missed the branch halfway. Caterpie tried again but was still unsuccessful. It felt sad that he could still not go up using string shot like the metapods. He said goodbye to Clyde and then turned back to climb the tree.

After a few seconds, Clyde suddenly thought of an idea, trying to verify it, he stopped it from climbing the tree.

"Wuuuu~!" (Stop!)

"Coowie~?" (Hmmm?)

"Wuu wuu wuu~!" (I think I could help you!)

"Coowie coowiee~?" (Are you sure?)

"Wuu!" (Yes!)

Caterpie felt surprised, seeing the white Pokèmon speaking to him. Again, after approaching the white Pokèmon, Caterpie asked Clyde what it should do. Clyde just told Caterpie to try to shoot a string shot towards the branch that he was aiming, again. With doubt, Caterpie asked again and Clyde just told him that he would take care of it. Trying again, Caterpie tried to use string shot but then he felt that an energy was guiding his direction. Due to shock, Caterpie missed the branch again.

Looking at the white Pokèmon, Caterpie felt that it was the one who tried to guide him. Feeling the support, Caterpie felt more determined to shoot towards the branch. Again, Caterpie used string shot, and he felt the subtle guidance of a strange energy, on his body to face the branch. Finally, Caterpie used string shot.

"Whoosh whoosh"

"Fwack!"

The string shot hit the branch! Caterpie was so glad that he twirled on the spot and it's eyes were arched like crescents. Happy with the result, Caterpie thanked Clyde for helping him.

"Coowie~! Coowie~!" (Thank you very much)

"Wuuu~! Wuu wuu wuuu~! (Your welcome! By the way, my name is Ralts!)

"Coowie~! Cooowiee~!" (Nice to meet you! I'm Caterpie)

Thinking carefully, Clyde was surprised for a young Caterpie to shoot so much strings in one go. Verifying his guess, Clyde asked Morpheus to scan Caterpie.

"Morpheus, scan Caterpie."

"Initiating branch... Data displayed."

'A level 3 Caterpie, with a 7 star talent, no wonder such a young Caterpie could release so much strings.' Clyde thought.

After expressing his happiness, Caterpie said goodbye to Clyde. Just before he attaches to the string, Caterpie asked Clyde if he wanted to go with him at the branch. Thinking carefully, Clyde did not hesitate to agree, since having such a talented Pokèmon to be at your side would be great! Clyde also asked Morpheus to scan the surrounding Metapods and Caterpies however their talent varies only from 1 to 2 stars only, occasionally, you could see 3 stars, but those are very sparse.

After climbing up, Caterpie then again shot a string shot towards Clyde. Through the help of psychic and at the same time holding the string, Clyde finally got up at the branch. Looking down, He estimates that he is about 2 and a half meters off the ground. Quite high, but he is reassured that even if he falls, he won't get hurt since he could levitate himself before he even touches the ground.
