Chapter 1: Meet Crystal

Ever since Crystal was a young Eevee-kit she had hated trainers. The whole idea of being held captive disgusted her. She was hatched under to roof of a trainer. At first, she was in her ideal paradise. She played with her trainer's Pokémon all day, and when the night came, all of her friends disappeared. It was a few days before she trusted anyone except another Pokémon. She had noticed that her soon to be trainer pulled out some kind of red and white ball. He would press a button and her friends would disappear. Why would anyone want to do that to a Pokémon? Why would someone want to transport a Pokémon into a small ball to just sit there and await when their trainer wanted to use them?

It was a week after she had hatched that her trainer had tried to catch her. He had thrown the ball right at her face and it smacked her in the nose. She tried to jump back to escape, but she was already engulfed in a red light. Like her friends, she too, was in a small ball. The ball shook on the ground. These were the worst seconds of her life. She didn't want to be caught. She didn't like being held captive! She struggled inside of the ball, kicking, punching, doing anything she could to escape. Suddenly she saw the light of the sun. Her trainer looked shocked to see the hair on her neck standing up as she got into fighting stance. She growled at her trainer and bolted away from the house. She could hear the cries of her trainer from behind, but she didn't look back. She didn't want to spend the rest of her life with someone who would just keep her in a ball. Crystal wanted to be a free spirit. She had seen the wrong side of her trainer. He wasn't cruel like she expected. He just wished to catch, train, and good friends with her. Little did he know Crystal wasn't like a normal Pokémon. Crystal refused all commands and showed no respect whatsoever before she was liberated. She just wasn't the trainable type.

Crystal had developed over the weeks of her freedom. She explored Sinnoh without regret. She had traveled everywhere possible that a Pokémon on foot could go. She went to Snowpoint City, Oreburgh City, Jubilife City, everywhere. It was just something about Snowpoint City that baffled her. Every time she visited she had this strange feeling to go certain way, to a certain spot. The people there were baffled, too. Why was there a wild Eevee in Snowpoint City? This wasn't exactly the habitat for such a Pokémon. Crystal finally listened to her instincts, she ran to the spot that was calling her name. It was a rock.

Really, a rock. That's what this was? What a waste of my time. She thought. She looked back and noticed she had drawn a crowd. They were all yelling something that she couldn't make out. Evolve? What does that mean? The swarm grew larger and louder. Someone finally spoke up.

"PUT YOUR HANDS ON THE ROCK AND FOCUS ON ICE!"

What the heck? Ice? Hands? Rock? What do they think I am? She couldn't help herself from getting the urge to touch the mysterious rock. She finally gave in to the peer pressure. As she lifted her right paw the mob began to wail in excitement. She turned around and growled at the multitude of humans. The noise died down as she faced the rock once again. She placed her paw gently on the rock and focused all her energy on it. She began to radiate a light blue aura. The crowd went into blitzkrieg mode. People were screaming and jumping up and down like they were at war with themselves. Crystal's legs became slimmer and longer and so did her body. She became larger, not plumper. Her tail transformed from a colossal ball of fluff to a long, thin, flowing line with a point at the end. She grew a tail-like stream under each of her ears as her evolution wrapped up. Her new form began to sparkle in the light of the sun. The snow blowing past her made the moment so much more dramatic. The crowd cheered as she opened her mouth and blew out a strong, cold wind. Hats from the mob flew with the wind. This only made the swarm even more excited. Crystal, whom was obviously annoyed at this, ran through the snow away from the flock of people. After running a few yards, she looked back. The crowd was chasing her. Remarks like, "No, I'm going to catch it!" and "Look at the beauty!", and even, "IT'S MINE!", flew out of the mass. She kept running, determined to shake off the multitude. Little by little, the crowd died off. People turned back huffing and puffing. In a matter of time, there was no one left. Crystal officially hated Sinnoh. There was no where left to explore. She had seen it all!

Well, what are my options? I could stay here get on a ship and putter to a new region. I'm getting out of here one way or another. So it was decided. Crystal was going to sneak on a boat undetected and escape from Sinnoh! But where would she go? Crystal wasn't they type of Pokémon to plan ahead. Her motto was live in the present and don't think about the past or future. The journey to the future will prepare you for it, and never look back, because it's in the past tense. There is no way to change your history, but your future is up to you. It was a long motto, but that's how she chose live her life.

As she traveled to her destination, many trainers had tried to catch her. She just pushed them away and shrugged it off. She eluded them every single time. After days of peregrinations, she had finally made it to her aimed spot, The Sinnoh Port. She noticed five strong men picking up and loading crates onto a ship. She spotted one with a loose board. She squeezed through the hole on the crate and was loaded onto the vessel. She waited in the chest for a few minutes until she heard the announcer come in on the over com.

"We are now taking off for the Unova region! Please do not jump overboard at anytime. We hope that you enjoy your ride on the S.S Luxury Luxray Liner!"

That name seemed to make sense. After all, the bow of the ship was shaped like the head, neck, and upper body of a Luxray. The colors on the ship were Blue, Yellow, and Black, just like a Luxray. But Crystal didn't know that because she was inside of a dark case. She wiggled and squirmed until she couldn't take it anymore. She had to get out of that thing! She made her way to the opening in the crate and jammed through. The sight of the interior of the vessel was astounding. It had a tall roof, chandeliers everywhere, butlers, maids, soft carpet, and all kinds of fancy stuff. She marveled at the design of the ship as she walked through large hallways. She rolled on the soft carpet for what seemed like hours. This was the life. She could eat and drink as much as she pleased. The ship only served the finest Pokémon Food, and Crystal was loving every morsel. So much for going undetected.

"We have arrived at the destination, Unova! You may now exit the vessel. Thank you for choosing the S.S Luxury Luxray Liner! Please ride again!"

Crystal was mournful for leaving the boat, but excited for her adventures that await her! She found her way to the deck of the liner and exited. She had arrived in Unova region's Castelia City! A paper flying in the wind smacked her in the face. It reminded her of when the one who hatched her tried to catch her. She snarled at the memory and pushed it away. She peeled the paper off of her face and stared at it.

This looks like some kind of land. Why are there so many dots on it. Wait what does that say? U-U-Uno-Unova M-M-Ma-Map? Oh, so the port is here, so I am also here. Crystal put her paw on one of the dots on the map. Nimbasa City seems like fun. I need to go north to Route 4. Crystal threw the map back in the wind and walked. She had no idea how to navigate the town, but she figured she'd find it eventually. She walked until she found an ice cream shop. She ran up to the stand and yipped.

"Aww, how cute." The Ice Cream Lady cooed, "Glaceon aren't too common around here. You must be hungry for something cold." Crystal bend her arms and took on a playful looking stance and once again yipped. The Ice Cream Lady scooped a small cone about the length of a thumb for the Glaceon. She handed her the ice cream and said, "Here you go, sweetie." Crystal licked at the small cone and bit it. She took the cone and nibbled on it as she walked. She was getting weird looks from the humans as she strolled. What's so abnormal about a Glaceon licking an ice cream cone in Unova? She ignored them and kept stepping. She paced until she reached a sandy area. There was a sandstorm abrew. She squinted her ocean blue eyes and moved on. The sand was deep, but that didn't stop her. She finally cleared the area when a trainer popped out of nowhere. He pulled out one of those little balls and screamed in gibberish language. He seemed like the type of person who rushed into things. He pressed the button on it and sent out what looked like a brown reptile. It had maroon stomach and black stripes covering it's back.

"Sandile, use Bite!" Sandile lunged at Crystal. This was the same old, same old "I'm determined to catch Glaceon" gig. She easily avoided the attack. She criticized the Pokémon's every move in her head. He lacked speed and power, which was Crystal's whole battle style. She may not have a trainer, but she knows how to battle. But this was no usual battle. Crystal didn't make a single attack. She just dodged the Sandile's attempts and wore it out. Sandile had no energy left. He didn't faint, but fell on the ground. He was fully conscious, but he couldn't get up. Crystal strutted over to the tuckered Sandile and patted him on the head. Sandile didn't pay any attention to Crystal as she walked away. The trainer's jaw dropped. He looked at his Pokémon, then to Crystal and back to Sandile. He returned his Pokemon and sprinted to the Pokémon Center.

What a pushover. Crystal giggled as she came up on the outskirts of town. Nimbasa City here I come!
