A/N: Greetings, readers! And welcome to the prologue of Mind Crystal! Now, this will be pairing Kris and Silver, better known as Redemptionshipping. (It will never die!) For this story, I'm doing something a bit different, I am putting aspects form the old games and mixing them with the remakes. Why? Cause their were some aspects that I really liked in the old games that weren't in the remakes and vice versa. Hence the name, A Heart of Gold, a Soul of Silver, and a Mind of Crystal.

Disclaimer: Say what? You seriously believe that I own Pokemon?! You are off your rocker! …Get back on it. I have no ownership of this franchise whatsoever.

Prologue

Fire burned all around her, the smoke making it impossible to breath.

Two small children, a boy and girl, were playing in the yard. The girl laughed as the boy slid, trying to catch the ball she had thrown.

"We need to get out of here!" cried out a voice. "I'll burn our way out!" called out another.

Suddenly, the girl stopped. "Do you hear something?" she asked the boy. "No, just some Pokemon. Why?" She turned to look at him. "I thought I heard someone calling for help." The boy shrugged.

"No!" she rasped. "That will only make it worse!"

After a while, the girl stopped again. "I know I'm hearing someone call for help!" she told the boy. "Fine!" he said, exasperated. "We'll go look!"

"But we have to do something!" yelled a third voice.

After looking around for a while, the two children came across a little wooden box that was moving. "Cool!' the boy exclaimed. "My box trap worked!"

"What?" the girl said, shocked. "There's a Pokemon trapped in there?" The boy nodded with a proud grin on his face. "Yep! Made it myself!"

She heard coughing from the second then a thump. "No! You need to get up!" the first cried.

"Get that poor thing out of there right now!" the girl scolded. "Pokeballs are made for catching Pokemon, not traps!" The boy sighed. "Alright!" he said. "Just don't tell my mom, ok?" The girl nodded as he lifted the box off the ground. As soon as there was enough room, a small, ferret-like Pokemon burst out from underneath the box. "That stupid box, falling on me!" it ranted. "There I was, minding my own business, when all of a sudden it trapped me! Stupid box! Falling on me like that!" the young girl began to giggle. "What's so funny?" the boy asked.

She coughed. The smoke made it so hard to breathe… "Stay awake! You have to!"

Both the boy and Pokemon hadn't believed her when the girl told them she had understood what the Pokemon had said. "If you can understand me," the Pokemon said skeptically, "What am I saying now?" The girl repeated what the ferret-like Pokemon said. After seeing the shocked look on the small creature's face, the boy believed her. Only the boy, the girl, and their parent's knew of the girl's ability.

She felt herself fall. She couldn't stand any longer. She knew that she was needed in the world, but perhaps they understood enough by now. Her eyes slowly began to close… "Crystal! Crystal! Wake up!"
