Mind Crystal

A Pokémon Fanfiction

Chapter 1: A New Beginning

"Crystal!"

No reply.

"Crystal!"

No reply.

"Crystal Mind, you wake up this instant!"

"Mmmm….five more minutes, Mom."

"Don't make me come up there young lady!"

"Okay, I'm up."

My name is Crystal Mind. Don't joke about the last name, I'm no braniac. I'm ten years old, have brown hair, green eyes, and usually wear blue jeans and a blue T-shirt. I wear a red and white cap as my usual head covering. Now get out of here! I'm getting dressed!

Fifteen minutes later…

"Time to go to school!" I said, running out of the door.

"What do you mean school?" said my best friend, Gold Heart, as I passed him, "it's Saturday!"

"It is!" I yelled back, skidding to a stop and turning around, "no school today! Yaaaay!"

My friend, Gold Heart, lives up to his name. In kindness, he's second only to a Blissey. He's ten years old also, has black hair, brown eyes, black jeans, and a red T-shirt. He doesn't usually wear headgear. And don't make any jokes! He's a friend, that's it, got it!

"Hey Crystal, Professor Elm was looking for you earlier," Gold told me, "come to think of it, he was looking for both of us. Shall we go to his lab?"

"Well sure, why not," I replied.

"Wynaut?" Gold joked, "when did we start talking about Pokémon?"

"*giggle* You always get me with that one," I said, "now let's go to Elm's lab before he comes and tries to find us."

"Too late," said Professor Elm, startling me and Gold, "well, come on, we haven't got all day. To my Pokemon Laboratory!"

3 minutes later…

"Here we are," said Professor Elm, "this is my Lab!"

"Funny, it doesn't look like a dog," Gold joked, "right, Crystal?...Crystal?"

I didn't hear Gold. Out of the corner of my eye, I thought I had seen three blurs- one red, one blue, and one yellow.

Note to self, I thought, there are some really fast Pokémon out there.

"Hey Crystal, you coming?" Gold asked from the door of Elm's Lab, "he says that he's got a present for us…little late, don't you think? I turned ten five months ago."

"Coming!"

Meanwhile…

"So…this is the famous Elm Pokémon Lab," a shady character said, peeking into a window, "there's supposed to be rare Pokémon here…time to find out if that's true."

Back to Crystal…

"So, Professor Elm, what's the present?" I asked, hoping I was right.

"It's something very, very special," Professor Elm replied, "as you know, I am a renowned Pokémon scientist. My specialty is evolution, as is found by my discovering of Pichu, Pikachu's pre-evolved form."

"Yes, yes, we know all that," I said impatiently, "what are we getting?"

"The two of you are about to be entrusted with a very special errand," Professor Elm replied, "I have three Pokémon here. I want the two of you to choose one of these Pokémon and travel the Johto region! Capture Pokémon and raise them to their evolutionary peak!"

"So…you want us to go on a Pokémon journey?" Gold asked, "but…wouldn't we need a Pokedex for that?"

"That's where I come in," Professor Oak said, walking into view, "I would like the two of you to complete the Pokedex for me."

"You can count on us, Professor Elm and Professor Oak!" Gold said, "we'll complete the Pokedex, don't you worry! Right, Crystal?...Crystal? You awake?"

I had a bad feeling. Something terrible was about to happen, I just didn't know what.

*shatter* "What was that?" Professor Elm said, running to where the noise had come from.

"Let's go, Crystal!" Gold said, running after Professor Elm with Professor Oak.

I stayed put, feeling eyes watching me. I turned slightly just in time to see a kid steal a Pokémon and Pokedex!

"Hey!" I exclaimed, "put those back!"

"Crap!" the kid said, jumping out of a window.

I quickly grabbed a Pokeball and Pokedex and started to run after the thief.

"Crystal, where are you going?" Gold asked me.

"After some kid who stole a Pokémon!" I yelled back.

5 minutes later…

"Hmph…I finally outdistanced that scrawny little brat," the thief said.

"Who are you calling scrawny?" I yelled at him, "and stop running away!"

"Grrr…Is there no way to get rid of you?" the thief yelled at me.

The thief had long, red hair, wore black sneakers with red lines on them, blue jeans, and a black and red, long-sleeve shirt.

"How about a Pokémon battle?" I suggested, "if you win, you can keep the Pokémon and Pokedex you stole. If you lose, you have to give them back!"

"Alight then!" the thief replied, "Pokémon, go!"

*Pokeball sound effect* "Toto! Totodile!"

"Oh! You got Totodile," I said, "let's see who I chose! Go!"

*Pokeball sound effect* "Cynda….QUIL!"

"Uh-oh…I'm in trouble," I stated the obvious.

AUTHOR INTERRUPTION

Some of you new Pokémon fans may be wondering why Crystal's in trouble. Totodile (a Water type) has a type advantage against Cyndaquil (a Fire type). If you're not a rookie, please don't read this.

INTERRUPTION COMPLETE

"You sure are!" the thief said, "Totodile, Water Gun!"

"Cyndaquil, counter with Fire Spin!" I ordered.

The two attacks cancelled each other out, leaving steam in their place.

"Okay, Cyndaquil, let's try a Rollout!" I exclaimed.

Cyndaquil rolled up into a ball and started to roll towards Totodile.

"Totodile, Rage!" the thief commanded.

Totodile's eyes started to glow red as if he were angry. As Cyndaquil got closer, Totodile prepared to strike.

"Cyndaquil, look out!" I yelled.

"Too late!" the thief said.

WHAM! Cyndaquil was sent flying by Totodile's attack.

"Totodile, Water Gun!" the thief ordered.

Totodile's Water Gun attack hit Cyndaquil dead-on, knocking her out cold.

"Cyndaquil!" I exclaimed, running to my Pokémon, "are you okay? Okay, I admit, dumb question. You deserve a rest. Return!"

"Crystal!" Gold yelled, him and the two Professors finally catching up with me, "are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine," I replied, "thanks for asking."

"I win," the thief said, "a deal's a deal. I keep the Pokémon and Pokedex."

"Who do you think you are?" Professor Oak exclaimed, "stealing Pokémon, disrespecting your elders…who are you?"

"I am Silver Soul!" the thief introduced himself, "and I'm going to become the greatest Pokémon Trainer in existence! My defeating this wimp is just the first step! So long, losers!"

Meanwhile…

"The Johto Trinity…have awoken…these children…contain vast amounts of power…they must be…nurtured…Team Entity…send our best…to help them grow…we must…create friendship…so they may…learn friendship…especially Silver…."

"Yes sir!"

Team Entity exited the room, leaving an old man sitting on a pedestal.

"Crystal…Gold…Silver…I give you…nurturing and…protection…North Wind…Volcano…Thunder…make sure nothing…terrible happens to them…."

"Suicune!"

"Entei!"

"Raikou!"

CHAPTER 1 END

I don't own Pokémon (Obvious much?). I do own Team Entity and the members of it, unless you'd like a character you made to be in my Fanfiction as a member (of Team Entity that is). Next Chapter, Crystal starts her journey, but is terrible a t battling. A person comes along to help her, and I leave you hanging, you little Mankeys (see what I did there?). Read the next chapter, please.

Next Chapter: Chapter 2: Enter- "Z"
