a/n: very sorry, i wrote this on a whim, so sorry if crys is ooc (i havent written her in forever in an official story thing).. AND it doesnt help its an opening.. which i also suck at writing..

The room was pitch black, the darkness seemed to swallow it entirely.. The night that changed our lives forever.. Those. events no one expected would happen... This really did change our lives. Blood stained the floor, its crimson color a sharp contrast to the black that surrounded it. they slyly looked at all the dead bodies, a smirk appeared on their face as they looked at all the havoc they had caused. Bodies covered the floor, 14 of them in fact, an that's not an easy feat for one person after all.

they pulled a knife out of her most recent victims back, the deep crimson red blood seemed to have stained the knife completely. Of all the deaths, his had to be their favorite.

All due to the pain they'd caused them, they had never been forgiven, even after all their deaths...

Crystal jolted awake, sitting up as she frantically looked around the room, making sure everything was okay.

her Xatu stared at her with its blank stare, unmoving even as crystal stared back. She didnt remember letting it out of its pokeball but other than that, everything was fine.

She sighed in relief, before collapsing back onto her bed, staring at the blue ceiling of the room.

what was that?

She shrugged, before sitting up once more, this time to glance at her alarm clock. "9:26.." She yawned slowly, before her eyes widened "ive overslept! hopefully theres still some time to get some of my research papers in!" She kicked the blankets off her, sending them flying to the end of the room, before literally jumping out of her bed.

She pulled on her clothes, a blue t shirt over a pair of jeans, before looking in the mirror.

Good enough.. It really was nothing to fancy, or anything that bad for a 17 year old to wear either.

She spun around, watching her hair swish this time instead of her clothes.

She put her hair up in a ponytail instead of her usual pigtails.

With all hope that idiot wont know its me..

Swinging her bag over her shoulder she headed out the bedroom door.

"so if i finish up the paper on the process of evolution by stones... then i could start up the papers on how pokemons breeding rate is affected by footsteps and by the one who hatches it.." she sighed, knowing what that was referring to..

turns out i do need him..

honestly, she loved her job, it was just that sometimes it could just get way to overwhelming and sometimes she needed the help of a certain "idiot" to get things done.

She locked her door, before looking around the ever peaceful city.

Children chased each other laughing happily as they played. Older couples sat outside their homes, watching the children with happy smiles on their faces.

flowers littered the town, their sweet scent pleasant as petals flew around in the wind

at first, Crystal didnt like the fact of moving to Cherrygrove City, but now she wouldnt change it for anything, even if she was slightly farther from the orphanage.

She walked away from her house, letting Archy walk along beside her as they went towards route 29, towards the dreaded new bark town -To crystal mind you-

"hey crystal!"

Crystal turned as she saw a girl run towards her, wearing the standard nurse outfit

"Nurse June? Whats up?"

The slightly older girl crouched over, panting a bit from running. " Professor Oak passed by this morning, he wants to speak with you." She stood up, "im glad i got you here, i thought id have to go all the way to new bark!"

Crystal smiled slightly, "thanks June, i'll check it out."

She bid farewell to the nurse, before dialing the said professor on her pokegear.

"Hello?" the surprised face of the professor popped up onto her screen as he picked up.

"oh hello crystal! it seems that you have got Junes message!"

"Yes i have.. so what did you want to speak with me about?"

"Well you see.. theres this place in sinnoh that i want all you dexholders to check out.."

"Why?"

The professor scratched the back of his head nervously, "Well, there are reports that people have gone missing.. and nothing seems to work.."

Crystal nodded thoughtfully, "very well, i'll try to tell the pthers, who else knows about this?"

"Green does of course, but he doesnt care.."

"dont worry, i'll try to talk some sense into him, thanks professor."

"i should be thanking you! farewel Crystal!"

"bye!"
