SIGPOS;

the lunar wing

content: You are in Canalave City during the morning, entering a small house near the docks (without knocking, or knowing the inhabitants, which feels like a normal thing to do). In the house, on a makeshift bed on the ground level, a small boy lays unconscious while his mother hovers over him. When you approach, you over hear him mutter "Dar... Dark... is watching... me..." while he twists and thrashes in his sleep. 'Is he having a nightmare?' You wonder as you ask the mother what's wrong.

"I never thought our boy would fall into this endless nightmare." She says, with dark circles under her eyes. "It's happened in the past in Canalave... There were people who never woke up from their nightmares... ...That is, until they were awoken using something called the Lunar Wing. My husband went to find a Lunar Wing on Fullmoon Island, but he failed. Does it take a Trainer to do that? We feel so frustrated by this..." She turns her attention back to her son and you promptly rush out the door to find the father.

As luck would have it, you don't have to go far; The man is a Sailor standing on the docks, in front of a large ship. He looks like he hasn't slept in days but a faint glimmer of hope enters his eyes when you introduce yourself and ask him to take you to Fullmoon Island. "...You... You're going to Fullmoon Island for us?" He sounds like he can barely believe it. You simply say yes and he lights up. "We're both counting on you! Only you can awaken my son from his awful nightmare... Please, I need the Lunar Wing from Fullmoon Island to awaken him! I went, but I failed to find it... Anchors aweigh!" You don't mind him telling you the same story his wife did at all, and follow him onto his boat. He casts off immediately and you leave through Canalave's famous canal.

It takes a couple hours to reach the island even at top speed, longer than it would take by flight, and the sun is high in the sky when Eldritch (the sailor, who introduced himself during the boat trip) carefully steers his ship into a small spot just large enough to fit his boat and helps you hop onto the stairs nearby. You waste no time in running up the stairs and across the island, through the trees until you reach a shaded clearing. little light shines through the treetops, but there's enough to notice a strange puddle shaped like a crescent moon, along with a beautiful Pokemon that floats serenely in the air. You walk up to her (you're not sure why you think the Pokemon is a girl, but it feels like its right) and reach out to touch her-

And the moment your fingers brush against her feathers, she floats higher and higher and higher up in the air before flying away, leaving a sparkling something on the ground where she had been just moments before. You pick it up and see its a beautiful feather - the Lunar Wing you came here for. You look up and yell "Thank you!" before spinning on your heel and racing through the trees again until you reach Eldritch.

"That Pokemon you met was the Lunar Pokemon... I've heard tales of it flying from place to place throughout Sinnoh." He says in awe, looking in the direction that Pokemon flew off for a few seconds longer before looking to you and catching sight of the feather in your hand. "Oh! That sparkle... So, that's the Lunar Wing... Thank you... That will wake my son from the nightmare..." He leads you back onto the boat and heads back to Canalave at top speed.

When you reach the city, you don't even wait for the boat to fully stop before leaping off it and onto the dock, and then running to his home. You approach the boy's bed again and your Lunar Wing begins to glow and as the glow grows stronger, the grimace on his face disappears, leaving him peaceful for a few moments before he wakes up. Eldritch bursts through the door a second later and you step to the side to let him check on his son.

"Oh, my gosh! You're awake! Oh, my son..." He sounds near tears, smiling in relief. "I... I don't know what to say..." He turns to face you. "Thank you! We'll never forget you!" He promises before looking back to the little boy. "Seeing you back to normal makes me feel great! I've regained my spirit as a Sailor! Come sail with me later!" He laughs as he heads out the door; maybe to make sure he docked his boat properly in his rush. "Thank you! We can't thank you enough, but thank you!" the mother clasps your hand in hers for a moment.

The boy shivers in his bed and whispers to you, "I couldn't wake up... I saw it... It was a scary dream... It was a dark place... And there was a dark Pokemon..." And then he adds in a louder voice, "But Daddy, Mommy... I could always hear your voices..." You ruffle his hair, glad to have been able to help him, and walk out the door.
