birth by sleep
momo decides to return to the dream world on a very simple basis: [break][break]
it’s
fun! the last time she’d been in there, she had her chance to live out her best coordinator dreams, skipping all the troubles and going straight to the fun! it was a nice time, and she figured that if she had the chance to enjoy a dream like that again, why not give it another go? [break][break]
except this time, it seems like she has little sway over what happens. she’s gathered in a castle with a bunch of other dreamers—
players, more like—standing in a room before a super cute snubbull with a crown! a super cute snubbull with a crown who can
talk! it tells its story with a heartfelt tone, and from what momo understands, this kingdom needs their help. [break][break]
yet at the same time, her pokemon companion seems troubled by the forces outside the castle. a shrill noise rings out, and tsuki the clefable jumps up from her place next to momo, and bounds out the nearest door at lightning speed. (of course, a clefable is not necessarily known for its speed, so there’s something really adorable about the way it
bounces out, beeping and singing as it does so.) [break][break]
momo stands to her feet, pointed ears and fairy wings twitching, her appearance in the dream world matching that of her runaway clefable’s. the dream ball appears in her hands not a moment thereafter, and she’s chasing down her clefable before the king can even properly dismiss them all. [break][break]
a pop-up flies into her face, however, catching her off guard. the girl screeches to a halt, and blinks owlishly at the words floating in the air before her: [break][break]

ABILITY NAME: just peachy! [break][break]
hp restoratives in the form of peaches will be available for the user to receive. there is no end or limit to the amount of peaches that grow, and the user can consume these freely, or even give them to other players as needed. however, these peaches grow only on trees, and only on the tallest branches. the peaches cannot revive “dead” players or prevent “death” from happening. [break]

“oh my gosh!” momo cries aloud. “do i have super powers, or something!? no way!” [break][break]
one glance out the window proves it to be true: plump, juicy, bright-pink peaches grow in abundance from the trees. they stand out as little bumps in the horizon, spawning on the highest branch that reaches for the sky. [break][break]
“um… those are
really high up…” she glances around, and other players (or
dreamers) run around her, everyone splitting into different directions. maybe she can find someone that can help her actually reach those peaches, or at least throw something to knock one of them down! [break][break]
on the bright side, she’s not hurt, so the peaches can wait until she finds her clefable. [break][break]
“tsuki!” momo calls out loudly, running towards a silvery lake to the east of the castle. “tsuki, where are you?” [break][break]
beep beep! the telltale cry of a clefable echoes distantly, and momo whips her head around, antennae-like ears probing in the direction of the noise.
beep beep! it’s getting louder! [break][break]
“tsuki, wait for me!” momo sprints in the direction of her pokemon, running parallel to the lake—a pink blur reflected against moonlit waters. [break][break]
it’s then that she realizes why her clefable had run out this far in the first place. at the lake’s edge, tsuki the clefable dances around dewdrop grass, singing in circles as she points her fingers towards the sky. [break][break]
it’s a full moon. [break][break]
momo gasps softly. “tsuki,” she breathes, “you’re dancing?” [break][break]
the clefable turns its gaze towards the trainer in question. she’s the same old tsuki, like she’d always been, but something is slightly different about her now. something
dark underlines the smile on the fairy’s face. momo’s heart skips a beat, fearful yet
curious of what this could entail. her pokemon are all sweethearts, and none of them would ever get up to nefarious deeds. however… [break][break]
creatures of the fae are more whimsical than those outside of the circle. the clefable line itself worships the moon, indulges in song and dance that speak to an ancient instinct in their hearts, something cosmic and
light. just as the moon has its many phases, so too does a living being, and at once, momo finds that she’s not afraid of tsuki’s smile in this moment. [break][break]
she’s
excited for what’s to come. “alright,” she says, slowly approaching her pokemon. “let’s dance!” [break][break]
in that moment, more aspects of the game appear before momo. they slow down time, even stopping it completely, but in the seconds between her body moving towards the fairy circle and her eyes sparkling with moonlight, momo’s choice has already been made. [break][break]
between, [break][break]

momo selects the former, heart becoming light as air, silver sparkles surround her and tsuki,
both, as they hold hands and dance under the light of the moon. time resumes, and momo giggles wildly, feywild magic coursing through her, tsuki the clefable singing out so loudly that any darkness in it before dispels at once, a
healing bell resonating above them. [break][break]
(tsuki the clefable forgot shadow wave, and learned healing bell, instead! tsuki the clefable is no longer a shadow pokemon!) [break][break]
