Chapter 56 - Chapter 57: Blessing of the Moon

The night after the adoption trial felt charged with something beyond electricity—a presence that lingered like a protective veil over the farm. Ashwin could still feel it in the air. Subtle. Calm. Watchful.

But when he returned to the Psychic Sub-Sanctuary through the hidden system access—meant only for him and the Pokémon who truly trusted him—he found the truth waiting.

Floating in the heart of the sanctuary, surrounded by meditating Elgyem, Ralts pairs, and synchronized Zorua illusions, was Cresselia.

The Lunar Pokémon.

Her wings glimmered in hues of blue and silver, shimmering like moonlight caught in flowing water. She turned her head, eyes glowing with soft lavender light, and let out a melodic cry that echoed in the sanctuary—not loud, but deeply resonant.

Ashwin bowed his head instinctively.

"You've made a place… of peace,"her voice echoed telepathically in the minds of every Psychic Pokémon nearby."I wish to stay."

Ashwin stared at her in awe. "You really want to stay here…?"

Cresselia floated slowly over the moss-lined grove and settled near the sanctuary's Botanical Garden, where clusters of glowing berries shimmered faintly in the moonlight. She sniffed once, then eagerly munched on a plump, sky-blue berry.

Chomp.Chomp-chomp.

A dreamy, sparkly breath escaped her beak-like mouth.

"These…" her tone tingled with telepathic bliss,"are divine."

Ashwin blinked. "You're… a foodie?"

Cresselia did not deny it.

From that day onward, the Psychic Sub-Sanctuary transformed further.

Under Cresselia's passive aura, injured and sensitive Psychic Pokémon healed quicker. Their minds were calmer, their psychic power more stable. Young Ralts trained in group sync without emotional imbalance. Zorua illusions became so detailed that even Ashwin was fooled at times. Even the once-fragile Elgyem from the adoption center began creating protective barriers instinctively.

Ashwin could feel the potential now—not just of caring and healing, but of growing true potential in peace.

Every few hours, Cresselia could be found in a different corner of the sanctuary—sometimes meditating with the colony, sometimes lazily lounging under a berry tree, her feathers glittering as she dreamily consumed another handful.

Even wild Psychic Pokémon began to drift toward the borders of the sanctuary—drawn by something they couldn't explain, only feel.

Ashwin stepped into the moonlit glade, surrounded by peace and quiet thought.

"Thank you," he said softly to the floating goddess of the moon.

Cresselia gave no words, only a hum—soft and maternal—as she nestled under a canopy of berry blossoms and slowly drifted to sleep, surrounded by flickering dreams.

The next morning, news spread quietly.

A new Adoption Center had opened. Trainers spoke of a breeder whose Pokémon seemed calmer, more understanding. The berries he grew made Pokémon glow with health, and some swore their partners healed faster just by spending time at the edge of his fields.

And while no one knew the full truth—of sanctuaries and legends—they all felt something pulling them toward this place.

A subtle warmth. A sense of belonging.
