Chapter 1 Leaving New Bark Town

It was a beautiful morning, and today is the day that new pokemon trainers will go out into the world. A girl was still sleeping, like everyone else should be. She was so happy, that she woke up, right that minute. She got out of bed, walked into her closet, got dressed, went into the bath room, and found that her hair looked worse than ever. She had fixed it to look a little bit like Officer Jenny's hair. Then, she packed up, and ran down the stairs. It was 7:39 when she ran down the stairs. "Good morning, Crystal!", said Crystal Clear's mother, Marina. (Me: Yes! This is the girl that was in the new movie called 'Pokemon Crystal The Movie'.) "Morning, Monster", said Crystal's brother, Jack. "Jack, I'm not a monster.", said Crystal. Crystal couldn't wait to leave the house, to get away from her annoying brother. "Crystal, aren't you hungry?", asked Crystal's mom. "You bet I am!", replied Crystal. So, Crystal was so hungry and so excited, that she ate 7 bowls of rice, and 4 pieces of french toast. Her mother and brother were very surprised that she'd really eat that much and still be a little skinny. When she was done, her mother gave Crystal a new backpack. It had a little picture of Crystal's favorite pokemon together, Ninetales and Houndoom. "Thanks, mom.", Crystal said. "Your welcome. We're rooting for you, baby.", Crystal's mom said, starting to cry. She knew this day would come, she just wished that it wouldn't come so soon. "See ya, Squirt.", Jack said, they're mother sobbing into his jacket. "Bye, mom, bye, Jack. I'm really gonna miss you both a lot.", said Crystal. Her mother and brother said bye one more time, and then, Crystal was off to Prof. Elm's lab, right next door to Crystal's house.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ In Prof. elm's lab ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Ah, Crystal. I have been waiting for you.", said Prof. Elm. "Well, I'm here now!", said a very cheerful Crystal. "Well, as you know, you get your first pokemon today. You will have to pick carefully.", said Prof. Elm. "Ok.", said Crystal. Prof. Elm showed Crystal to a table that had 6 balls on it. Professor Elm had let all the pokemon out. There was a Chikorita, Totodile, Cyndaquil, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. "Ohhhhhhhhhh, they're all so cute!", said Crystal. "Well, I know I'm not supposed to do this, but, you can take 2 if you'd like.", said Professor Elm. Crystal gasped. "Really? Yay! I'll take Chikorita and Totodile!", Crystal said, so happily. "Ok. Here are they're pokeballs. Oh, and before I forget. Here is you're pokedex, and here are some more pokeballs.", said Professor Elm. "Thanks so much, Professor Elm! I promise that I'll take good care of my new pokemon!", said Crystal. "I know you will. Your brother's pokemon, Blastoise, I've seen you take care of it. You really do care about pokemon.", said Professor Elm. "Oh, thank you, Professor.", Crystal said, touched by what he had said. "Well, you better go.", said Prof. Elm. "Why?", asked Crystal. "So you can train your new pokemon, catch new pokemon, and, get out of here before Sarah come's.", said Prof. Elm. "Oh, I know what you mean. Bye, Professor!", Crystal said. "Bye, Crystal.", said Professor Elm. Then, Crystal had just remembered something. She ran back to her house. "Mom! I forgot my pokegear.", said Crystal. Crystal ran up the stairs, into her room, grabbed her pokegear, ran back down stairs, and out the door. Crystal had her home number and Professor Elm's number on her pokegear. So, she could call them when ever she wanted.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Out on the road~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Crystal decided that she would take her pokemon out, and so she did. "Chiko, chiko, chikorita, chiko, chiko, chikorita, chiko! (Hi there! Happy to see that we got a girl trainer this time!)", said Chikorita. "Toto, totodile, totodile, toto! Toto, totodile, totodile! (Happy to meet you! You seem nice!)", said Totodile. "Nice to meet you both, too! Should I nickname the both of you?", asked Crystal. "Chiko, chiko, chiko chiko. (It's up to you.)", said Chikorita. "Ok, Chikorita, how about, Rita?", asked Crystal. "Chikorita! (I like that name!)", said Chikorita. "Totodile, are you a girl or a boy?", asked Crystal. "Totodile toto. (Oh, I'm a girl.)", said Totodile. "Ok. How about, Shelly?", asked Crystal. Toto totodile? (Do I look like a Squirtle?)", said Totodile. "Ok, ok, how about, Watery?", asked Crystal. (Me: Named after my 3rd favorite Clow card from the tv series called 'Cardcaptors'.) "Totodile! (I really like that name!)", said Totodile. "Ok then! Watery and Rita! Let's go find some battles and some new friends!", said Crystal. "Chiko! (Yeah!)" "Toto! (Yeah!)" They were walking along the path when Rita and Watery stopped in there tracks. "Huh? What is it, guys?", asked Crystal."(There is a pokemon up ahead.)", said Watery. "Really? What kind?", asked Crystal. "(It's an Eevee.)", said Rita. "Really? Lets go catch it.", said Crystal. "(Ok.)" Rita and Watery said together. When the Eevee came into view, Crystal and her 2 pokemon were ready. "Rita, use Vine Whip attack!", said Crystal. "Chiko! (Right!)", said Rita. Rita held the Eevee in it's vines, so Crystal could capture it. "Ok. Pokeball, go!", said Crystal. And, when the ball hit the Eevee, the Eevee was sucked into the ball. It tryed to escape, but, Crystal and her 2 pokemon had a little more experence. "Wow! I captured an Eevee as my first pokemon!", Crystal said, so happy! Then, there was a boy running up the path. He didn't look happy. "You give me back that Eevee now.", the boy demanded. "Why should I? I captured it fair and square.", said Crystal. "That's my Eevee you have there.", said the boy. "Who are you?", asked Crystal. My name is James. Now, give me back my Eevee.", said the boy. "Hey, how about I battle you for the Eevee? The Eevee sure doesn't want to go back with you.", said Crystal. "Ok, I'll have to win it back.", said the boy. "I choose you, Rita!", said Crystal. Rita was ready to battle. "Then, I'll choose my, Beedrill!", said James. "Rita, use Vine Whip!", said Crystal. Then, Rita wrapped it's vines around his Beedrill. But, Beedrill broke through it. Then, Crystal and Rita really got mad. There were fire in Rita's eyes. Then, Rita used a Flamethrower. That defeated Beedrill. Crystal, Eevee, Watery, James, and the Beedrill were all surprised to see that a Grass type pokemon had learned an attack of it's weakness. "Wow! Rita! You are 1 special pokemon!", said Crystal. "(I'm even impressed to see that I can do a fire attack!)", said Rita. "Look's like I win, and I get to keep the Eevee!", Crystal said, cheerfully. "Fine. I can catch another one anyway.", James said. And he ran away. Crystal released her new Eevee. "(Thank you so very much for saving me from that maniac.)", said Eevee. "No problem. Is it ok if I nickname you?", asked Crystal. "(Well, ok!)", said Eevee. "Ok, how about, Eve?", asked Crystal. "(That one is good. Sounds like my real name. Hehehe!)", said Eevee. "Ok. Then, Eve it is!", said Crystal. Eve was so happy to have a better trainer, that, it jumped up into the air, into Crystal's arms, and started licking her face. "Hey, stop that. That tickles. Hehehe", said Crystal. Rita and Watery laughed along with Crystal. Then, when Eve had stopped licking Crystal's face, Crystal returned Eve to her pokeball. They started walking again. "(Crystal, what is your favorite pokemon?)", asked Rita. "Well, I really like Ninetales and Houndoom. But, other then those 2, the 3 of you are my favorites. Hehehe.", said Crystal. "(Just asking)", said Rita. Just then, Rita and Watery stopped, again. "What is it?", asked Crystal. "(I don't believe it.)", said Rita. "(There's a Vulpix up ahead.)", said Watery. "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!", said Crystal, "Lets go catch it!" Crystal and her pokemon ran up the hill, and when they got to the top, they found a beautiful Vulpix. "Watery, Water Gun attack.", said Crystal. Watery used Water Gun and weakened the Vulpix. Vulpix's are fire type pokemon and are weak against water types. "Go, pokeball go!", yelled Crystal. The ball sucked the Vulpix in. The Vulpix was captured. "Yay! We caught a Vulpix!", said Crystal, "I think I'll nickname the beautiful Vulpix, Beauty." Then, they were walking for a little while longer. Then, there was an explosion in the east. 4 pokeballs fell to the ground right in front of Crystal. She picked them up, and wanted to see what pokemon were inside. So, she called the 4 pokemon out. They were all Houndoom. "Wow! My very 1st favorite pokemon right in front of me!", said Crystal. All the Houndoom ran and jumped on top Crystal, made her fall, and they were licking her face. "Hey! Hey! Stop! That tickles!", said Crystal, as she laughed. Then, after 4 minutes, the Houndooms got off of Crystal. "What gender are all of you?", asked Crystal. "(Him and me are boys.)", said the biggest Houndoom. "That must mean that you two are girls.", said Crystal. "(Yup!)", both girl Houndooms said at the same time. "Ok, now for nicknames. Boys, how about, you Howly and you Growly?", asked Crystal. "(Ok.)", said the big Houndoom. "(It's ok with me.)", said the other boy Houndoom. "Ok. And, you girls, how about, You Daisy and you Peony?", asked Crystal. "(Ok!)", both girl Houndooms said at the same time, again. "I guess I'll leave Eevee with Professor Elm. I'll call him right now.", said Crystal. Just then, her Pokegear rang. When she had gotten it, she found out that it was Prof. Elm. "Hello Crystal! How are you? How many Pokemon have you captured?", asked Professor Elm. "Oh, I'm fine. Thanks for asking. I've captured 2 pokemon so far. But, there was a big explosion, and 4 pokeball dropped right in front of me. I check what kind of pokemon were in them, and I found out that there were 4 Houndooms.", said Crystal. "Really? Well, your going to have to send two of your Houndooms to me. You can only keep 6 pokemon with you. Remember?", asked Prof. Elm. "Yeah, I remember. Can I send you Beauty and Eve?", asked Crystal. "Beauty and Eve? Don't you mean Adam and Eve? Hehehe.", said Professor Elm. "Hehehe. Very funny Professor. Beauty and Eve are the 2 pokemon I captured. Eve is the Eevee, and Beauty is a Vulpix.", said Crystal. "Ok. Hold on.", said Professor Elm. Just then, Crystal's pokeballs that had Beauty and Eve in them Disappeared. "Professor, Professor. Beauty and Eve's pokeballs just disappeared.", said Crystal. "Don't you mean, Beauty and the Beast? Hehehe.", said Prof. Elm. "Hehehe. Very funny. Where did they go?", asked Crystal. "Don't worry, Crystal. I transported them here with me.", said Professor Elm. "Oh. Phew... Thanks Professor.", said Crystal, "Well, I have to go. I'm almost to the next town. Professor, is there a gym in Cherrygrove City?", asked Crystal. "Nope, sorry.", said Professor Elm. "Ok, bye.", said Crystal. "Bye.", said Prof. Elm. Then, after that, Crystal was a little closer to Cherrygrove City.

Chapter 2 Arrival in Cherrygrove City



Finally, Crystal and her pokemon have arrived in Cherrygrove City! Watery was tired of walking, so, she went into her pokeball. So, that left Crystal and Rita out walking. Crystal had finally found a Pokemon Center, so, she and Rita went in to get Crystal's pokemon healed from catching more pokemon. "So, you came from New Bark Town?", asked Nurse Joy. "Yup! I've been waiting for the day I can leave home, catch pokemon, and get away from my brother. Hehehe.", said Crystal. "Hehehe. Funny. Your pokemon are all healed.", said Nurse Joy. "Thank you, Nurse Joy.", said Crystal. "Your welcome. Wait, is your brother Jack Kino?", asked Nurse Joy. "Yes. Why do you ask?", asked Crystal. "Then, you must be Crystal. His little sister.", said Nurse Joy. "Yup. That's me.", said Crystal. "Ok.", Nurse Joy said, as she gave Crystal her pokemon back. Crystal decided to go to the cafeteria and eat. She went and got herself some food and her pokemon some food. She picked a really clean table to eat at. Just then, someone approached her. "Hi. Is anyone sitting here?", asked a boy. "No. Go ahead, you can sit there.", said Crystal. "Thanks.", said the boy, "oh, and by the way, I'm Thunder. What's your name?" "Oh, I'm Crystal I come from New Bark Town.", said Crystal. "Nice to meet you.", Crystal and Thunder said at the same time. That made them laugh. After they ate, Crystal and Thunder wanted to see each others pokemon. "Ok, who go first?", asked Crystal. "I'll go first", said Thunder, "Come on out everyone." Just then, pokemon appeared out of the pokeballs. "This is my Pidgeotto, caught this big one in the forest. And this, this is my first pokemon, Cyndaquil. And, I think you know what the rest are.", said Thunder. "You bet I do. Man, you caught good types.", said Crystal. "Thanks. Now, let me see yours.", said Thunder. "Oh, ok, come on out everyone!", said Crystal. Her pokemon appeared. "These Houndooms are Howly, Growly, Daisy and Peony. This is Watery and this is Rita. My Vulpix and Eevee are with Professor Elm.", said Crystal. "You have great types too.", said Thunder. They returned they're pokemon to they're pokeballs and started walking to Violet City.

Chapter 3 Leaving Cherrygrove City, arriving in Violet City and the old friend

They faced a couple of trainers on the way. They won em all. When they were almost there, they decided to battle each other before they go into the gym. "Go Cyndaquil!", yelled Thunder. "Go Rita!", yelled Crystal. "Hehehe. Don't you know that Cyndaquil is a fire type pokemon?", asked Thunder. "Yeah, I know. And, I know that I can beat your fire pokemon with my Chikorita,", said Crystal. "Cyndaquil, end this with an Ember attack.", said Thunder. "Rita, Water Gun attack!", said Crystal. "What? Chikorita can't do Water-type attacks.", said Thunder. "Well, watch and see.", said Crystal. "You mean it can?", asked Thunder. Just then, Rita started shooting water at Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil had fainted. "Crystal, you have a very special Chikorita.", said Thunder. "Yeah, I know. Hehehe.", said Crystal. Then, they ran down a hill and ran right into Violet City. They ran into the Pokemon Center and gave Nurse Joy their Pokemon to heal. When they had gotten their pokemon back, they walked back outside, they were looking around for the gym, when they got there, 2 people cot in they're way. "Sorry, you can't go into the gym.", said the boy. "Why not?", asked Crystal. "Don't you know what we are?", asked the girl. "You 2 look like ushers from the ciniplex.", said Thunder. "We're not ushers, we're from this Pokemon gym.", said the girl. Just then, someone was walking towards them, it was a girl. "Hi Crystal! Long time no see!", said the girl. "Huh? Do I know you?", asked Crystal. "Yes. I can't believe you forgot about me.", said the girl, "My name is Jennifer." Crystal gasped. "Jen! I can't believe it's you! I haven't seen you in a while!", Crystal said, hugging her best friend. "So, Crystal your already starting on you Pokemon journey?", asked Jennifer. "Yup!", said Crystal. "I just started today also!", said Jennifer. "Really? Cool!", said Crystal. "So Crystal, how many Pokemon have you caught?", asked Jennifer. "Oh, I've caught 8 so far.", said Crystal. "Wow! I only caught 6. Hehehe.", said Jennifer. Crystal and Jennifer laughed for a while, till the ushers butted in. "You all can't go into this gym, enless, you give us all of your Pokemon.", said the girl. "What?", Thunder, Crystal and Jennifer said. "Prepare for the most trouble ever seen.", said the girl. "While you prepare for the trouble, you better make that a scream.", said the boy. "To protect the world from devastation.", said the girl. "To unit all peoples within our nation.", said the boy. "To announce the goodness of Truth and Love.", said the girl. "To extend our ladder to the stars above.", said the boy. "Jessie.", said the girl. "James.", said the boy. "Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of a Scizor.", said the girl. "Surrender now or prepare to set the score.", said the boy. Just then, a Meowth popped out of nowhere and said, "Meowth that's right!", said the Meowth. "Give us all of your pokemon.", said the blonde haired girl, Jessie. "Sorry, we'll pass.", said Crystal. Just then, Crystal released Howly. "Howly, give em your Ember attack!", said Crystal. Just then, Howly was spitting fire at Team Rocket. "Wow, Crystal already caught a good Pokemon.", said Jennifer. "Howly, now, use Smokescreen!", yelled Crystal. Just then, Smoke was coming out of Howly's mouth, and Team Rocket couldn't see a thing. "Now, use Whirlwind then Flamethrower!", yelled Crystal. A lot of people were watching and they were all questioning why Crystal would tell Houndoom to use Whirlwind. "Crystal, Houndoom can't use Whirlwind.", said Jennifer. "So, you think so?", said Crystal. "You mean it can????", asked Jennifer. Just then, Howly was blowing at Team Rocket, with it's mouth. A really big wind came right out of Howly's mouth. Then, Howly used Flamethrower. "Looks like Team Rocket is blasting off again!", Team Rocket said, as they flew into the sky and out of sight. Everyone was every surprised that a Houndoom can use Whirlwind, and yet, they all cheered for Crystal's victory. The Gym Leader had been watching the whole thing. People started looking up to see the Gym Leader on the roof. Crystal, Thunder, and Jen looked up too, and saw the Gym Leader. The Gym Leader flew down on his Pidgeot. "So, you 3 would like to battle me?", asked the Gym Leader, Falkner. "Yeah.", said Jen. "Then, I'm Falkner, we battle on the roof.", said Falkner. He got back on her Pidgeot, and the Pidgeot was going to ride them all up. "Sorry, I'll ride my own.", said Thunder. Just then, Thunder let out his Pidgeot, it was big like Falkner's. "Crystal, wanna ride on with me or him?", asked Thunder. "I'll go with you, Thunder.", said Crystal. Jennifer knew where that was going. Thunder and Crystal liked each other, but didn't know it themselfs. They flew up to the arena. Jennifer went first. Only 1 Pokemon each can be used. They started battling. "Go Lynda!", yelled Jennifer. Just then, a little Charmander appeared. "Char Char Char! (Time to battle!)", said Lynda. "Go Hoothoot!", yelled Falkner. Then, a little owl appeared. "Hoot Hoot Hoot! (I'm gonna win!)", said Hoothoot. "Ember attack now!", said Jennifer. Jen knew that would be all she'd need to attack with. The Hoothoot was out of the match. Next up, Thunder! 2 Pokemon each can be used this time. "Go Cyndaquil!", yelled Thunder. "Go Pidgeotto!", yelled Falkner. "Cyndaquil, Flamethrower attack now!", yelled Thunder. That took Pidgeotto out of the game. "Go Pidgeot!", yelled Falkner. "Another Flamethrower attack now!", yelled Thunder. The Pidgeot is down and out. Now, it is Crystal's turn.

Chapter 4 The Zephyr badges, leaving Violet City, and the Onix Tunnel

It's Crystal's turn against Falkner. Falkner wants to beat Crystal and show the town that she's a no body, but, we'll see who's the no body. "Go Beauty!", yelled Crystal. Falkner didn't know what Beauty was, but, said, "Go Hoothoot!". When Crystal's Vulpix was out of it's pokeball, Falkner had just realized that it was a fire type. "Beauty, confuse it with Confuse Ray!", yelled Crystal. Vulpix used Confuse Ray and confused it's enemy. "Now, use your Flamethrower!", yelled Crystal. Vulpix used Flamethrower and ended this Pkemon. Go Pidgeotto!", yelled Falkner. "Beauty return! Go Daisy!", yelled Crystal. Falkner thought that Daisy was a Grass-type Pokemon, but when Daisy came out, he figured out that it was the Pokemon that saved everyones Pokemon. "Daisy, use Smog attack!", yelled Crystal. "Pidgeotto use Gust!", yelled Falkner. "Daisy, quick! Use Flamethrower!", yelled Crystal. Her Houndoom used Flamethrower and ended that Pokemon's turn. "Go Charizard!", yelled Falkner. "Daisy return! Go Watery!", yelled Crystal, Use Hydro Pump!", yelled Crystal. And, Crystal's Totodile ended the match for good. "Ok, ok. Here are your Zephyr badges.", said Falkner. And, he left. Crystal, Thunder and Jen left to the Pokemon Center to heal their Pokemon. When they got their Pokemon back, they left to go to Azalea Town. The 3 of them battled a lot of trainers, and our 3 heros won em all. They battled and walked untill they reached a cave. There was a sign right in front of the cave, it read 'The Onix tunnel'. (Me: Some people called the cave Union Cave, they probably have family reunions in there. Hehehe! Get it? RE-union. Hehehe!) "Well, lets go...", said Crystal. Crystal was scared. Thunder wasn't afraid a bit. And Jen, she was scared a little. They walked in and went up against a lot of Onix. But, they went through it. Thunder caught a really big Onix. And, Jen and Crystal, didn't want any. They walked on, and they battled more, and finally made it to the next town... Azalea Town.

Chapter 5 Arriving in Azalea Town, the Azalea gym battle and the Hive Badge

They were walking through the town and saw a lot of Slowpoke. They finally found a Pokemon Center and went in. They healed they're Pokemon and were on they're way to look for the Azalea Town Gym. They had been walking for a couple of minutes and finally found the Gym. They walked in and looked around and they found someone up in a tree. "Um... excuse me, can you get the ladder up here, please? Cause, I was clmbing to get up here and , um... the ladder fell.", said the boy up in the tree. They helped him down and when he got down, Crystal asked, "Um... are you the Azalea Town Gym Leader?". "Yes. And, I think you 3 want to battle for a badge, right?", asked the boy, "I'm Bugsy. What are your names?" "I'm Crystal from New Bark Town.", said Crystal. "I'm Thunder from Cherrygrove City.", said Thunder. "And, I'm Jennifer, from Violet City.", said Jen. "Well, I see you all are from different citys. Hehehe. Well, who wants to go first?", asked Bugsy. I'll go first.", said Jen. They got on to the Pokemon battle field and started battling. Only 1 Pokemon can be used. Go Caterpie!", yelled Bugsy. "Go Lynda!", yelled Jen. "Caterpie, use String Shot!", yelled Bugsy. The Caterpie had shoot string at Jen's Charmander. "Lynda, use Ember!", yelled Jen. Her Charmander used Ember and got rid of that dirty little bug. Next was Thunder. "Go Metapod!", yelled Bugsy. "Go Cyndaquil!", yelled Thunder. "Metapod, use Harden!", yelled Bugsy. "Cyndaquil, use Flamethrower!", yelled Thunder. Cyndaquil had let the flame on it's back come out and then it use Flamethrower and beat Bugsy's Metapod. Now, it was Crystal's turn. In this battle, they can use up to 3 Pokemon. "Go Scyther!", yelled Bugsy. "Go Beauty!", yelled Crystal. "Scyther, use Fury Attack!", yelled Bugsy. "Dodge em, Beauty! Then, use Flamethrower!", yelled Crystal. Crystal's Vulpix dodged every attack then used Flamethrower. That beat Bugsy Scyther. "Go Caterpie!", yelled Bugsy. "Flamethrower!", yelled Crystal. They won against another Pokemon! Just need to beat one more and she wins the Hive Badge! "Go Butterfree!", yelled Bugsy, "Butterfree, quick! Use Sleep Powder!" Bugsy's Butterfree used Sleep Powder and put Crystal's Vulpix to Sleep. "Ok, Butterfree! Now, use Confusion then Tackle!", yelled Bugsy. Her Butterfree Used Confusion and Tackle as it was told and beat Crystal's Vulpix. Crystal gasps. "Beauty, are you ok?", asked Crystal. "(Sorry, I don't think I can battle anymore.)", said Vulpix. "It's ok. You don't have to. Return Beauty.", said Crystal, "Go Watery!". "Didn't you know that Water-types are weak against Grass-types?", asked Bugsy. "Yeah, I knew. Watery, use Razor Leaf!", yelled Crystal. "Why are you telling your Totodile to use a Grass-type attack?", asked Bugsy. "So it can Attack!", yelled Crystal. Watery had opened it's mouth and leafs started shooting out and right at Bugsy's Butterfree. "How can a Pokemon learn an attack of it's weakness?", asked Bugsy. "My Pokemon are just special.", said Crystal. "Ahhhh!!!!!!! Butterfree, use Sleep Powder, and Confusion!", yelled Bugsy. Bugsy's Butterfree did what it was told and defeated Crystal's Totodile. "Return Watery.", said Crystal. "Had enough yet? You know you can't win.", said Bugsy. "Actually, I can win. Go Howly!", yelled Crystal. And her best Pokemon came out. "Butterfree, use Sleep Powder!", yelled Bugsy. "Quick Howly! Use Whirlwind!", yelled Crystal. "What? Houndoom can't use Whirlwind.", said Bugsy. "Well, this one can! Attack!", yelled Crystal. Crystal's Houndoom blew away the Sleep Powder on to Bugsy's Butterfree. His Butterfree fell asleep and fell to the ground. "Howly, use you Flamethrower!", yelled Crystal. And, her Houndoom used Flamethrower and won the match! "You all are really great trainers! So, I have to give you 3 these.", said Bugsy, as he opened his hand to reveal, 3 Hive badges. "Thanks, Bugsy! We really need these! Hehehe!", said Crystal. "Your all welcome to come to the Gym whenever you want.", said Bugsy. Thanks. And, I think we better go to the Pokemon Center before we go to Goldenrod City.", said Thunder. "Ok.", said Crystal. They walked to the Pokemon Center, healed they're Pokemon and left Azalea Town. They had to go through the Ilex Forest. There are a lot of Bug-type Pokemon in there. Jen wasn't scared of Bug-types, but, Crystal is another story. (Me: Hehehe!) They walked through the forest, and had to cut down a tree to get to the next city. "Go Scyther!", said Thunder, "Scyther, cut this tree down.". His Scyther used Cut attack and had cut the tree down. "Thank you, Scyther.", said Crystal. Thunder returned his Scyther to it's Pokeball and they kept walking. They ran into 3 trainers and won. Then, they found a building and went in. It was actually a way to go to Goldenrod City. They walked through and had to battle some more. Some people even wanted Crystal's phone (Pokegear) number, so they could chat. Crystal only took Gina Picnicker and Todd Camper's phone (Pokegear) number. Then, they walked for a little longer and then...

Chapter 6 Arrival in Goldenrod City, the Goldenrod Gym battle and the Plain badges

They walked for a little longer and then, they had finally reached Goldenrod City! They walked to the Pokemon Center, healed they're Pokemon and wanted to look around the town before they go in battle. They were walking around when they found a Bike Shop. When they went in, someone asked, "May I help you?". "Oh, yes! We'd like to buy a bike for each of us.", said Crystal. "Well, you came to the right place!", said the sales clark. "Wait. I thought that the Bike Shop was in Cerulean City.", said Thunder. "Sorry. I worked there, but we moved the shop here to Goldenrod.", said the sales clark. "Oh, ok.", said Thunder. They continued to look around when they had finally found the ones they wanted. Jen bought a yellow bike, Thunder bought a blue bike, and Crystal bought a purple bike. They also bought a little something called a Dinocap. They had got they're bikes into they're Dinocaps and were heading to look around some more. Then, they went to an underground place. There were trainers in there and the 3 of em took them all on in a battle, and Crystal, Thunder and Jen always won! Then, Crystal found something on the floor. She looked at it carefully and found out that is was a coin case. She had put it in her backpack and then they found guy sitting down at a counter. "Hello! I am the older and more experenced of the 2 hair cut brothers. May I help you?", asked the guy. "Oh. You cut Pokemon hair?", asked Crystal. "Yup.", said the guy. "Well, I guess. Come on out Beauty.", said Crystal. And then, Crystal's beautiful Vulpix came out of it's Pokeball. "You have a nice looking Vulpix.", said the guy. "Thanks! Um... do you think she need's a hair cut?", asked Crystal. "Well, I guess.", said the guy. The guy had cut Vulpix's hair a little. Then, when the guy was done, Beauty was so much prettier than before! Crystal and Jen gasp. "Beauty is so much prettier than before! Thank you so much!", said Crystal. "Sorry, my Pokemon are all boys and they are fine the way they are.", said Thunder. "Um... can you do my Mareep?", asked Jen. "Sure.", said the guy. "Ok! Go Mary!",yelled Jen. Jen's Mareep came out of it's Pokeball. Then, the guy was cutting Mareep's hair a little and then, it came out all sparkling. It was so cute! "Ohhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much! Mary is so much prettier than when I captured it!", said Jen. Then, the 3 of them went on. Just then, they found a door, but it was locked. So, they went back up to Goldenrod City and looked around some more. Just when they were going to make a second step away from the underground, Crystal's phone (Pokegear) rang. Crystal turned on her Pokegear and had just found out that it was... her mother. "Hi Crystal! How are you?", asked Crystal's mother, Marina. "Oh. Hi mom. I'm fine. How are you and Jack?", asked Crystal. Crystal really didn't want to know how her brother was doing. "Oh. I'm fine and so is your brother.", said Crystal's mom. "Hey Crystal. What city are you in and how many badges have you won?", asked a guy. "Jack? Well, I have 2 friends with me right now and we've all won 2 badges. We're in Goldenrod City right now.", said Crystal. "Man, Crystal. You are way faster than me. When I went on my Pokemon journey, by now, I'd still be in Azalea Town.", said Jack. Crystal, Thunder and Jen laughed at that. "Crystal, who are those 2 friends of your's?", asked Crystal's mom and brother. "Well, remember Jennifer? Well, I found her in Violet City. And, when I was in Cherrygrove City, I met Thunder.", said Crystal. "Well, hope you don't find another friend. You'll be so distracted.", said Jack. "SHUT UP, JACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!", yelled Crystal, "I have to go anyway. Call me again next week. Bye.". "Bye Crystal.", said Jack. "Bye Honey.", Crystal's mother said, as she started to cry. Crystal and her family hung up. "Well, aren't we going to the Pokemon Mart?", asked Jen. "Yeah. We can go now.", said Crystal. So, they walked and they found the Pokemon Mart. But, they were very surprised! The Pokemon Mart was so huge! (Me: Bet as big as Hagrid from Harry Potter. Hehehe!) They were about to walk in when Crystal's Pokegear rang again. But, this time it was Todd Camper. "Hey Crystal! Guess what! The Pokemon Mart in Goldenrod City is having a bargain sale on the rooftop. You, Thunder and Jen have to go there. Well, gotta go. Bye.", said Todd, as he hung up. He didn't even let Crystal say anything. "Well, I guess we'll go to the bargain sales.", Crystal said with a smile. Thunder blushed. Crystal thought that Thunder blushing was a little unusual. He was usually so serious, or just full of energy just for battles. Jen just smiled at Crystal. "Well, lets go.", said Jen. So, they walked in and went to the elevator and went to the rooftop. When they got there, there was a lot of people there! Crystal, Jen and Thunder managed to squeeze through all the people and finally get to the counter. "Hello. May I help you?", asked the sales clark. "Um, yes! What do you have?", asked Crystal. "Oh, just look.", said the sales clark. They looked around and found that they sold Antidotes, Full Heals, Pokedolls, Pokeballs and Great balls. They all bought 2 of each, but they each bought a bunch of Pokeballs and Great balls. So they could catch some more new Pokemon. Then after that, they found the arcade. They had to buy a Coin Case first, so Jen and Thunder bought one, when Crystal was about to pay for one, the guy asked what she was taking her money out of. She answered that she found it on the floor in the underground, and the guy explained that the little Coin Case she had was the one your supposed to use to hold your game coins. So, the 3 of them bought they're coins and started playing. Then, when they got tired, they just went to a motel. It was small, but it was cheap.

That morning, Crystal and Thunder woke up in the same bed! They both blushed, while Jen just smiled and made breakfast. After they ate, they got dressed in they're usual clothes and had set out for the Radio Tower. When they were in front of the tower, they saw a man standing in front of the tower wearing black and wearing a black coat, and it probably was 90 degrees out. It didn't bother Crystal, Thunder or Jen, but this guy looked suspicious. They ran right into him while trying to run into the Radio Tower, and he yelled, "Beat it!". Crystal, Thunder and Jen walked into the Radio Tower and found a woman at the counter. She said that if they could answer 5 questions right, they will get a radio for they're Pokegears. They all took the test and got em all right! Then, the woman gave them each a Radio Card and they had put it on they're Pokegears. Then, they went into the next room. They went to an orange haired woman, and she said, "Oh, you all have Radio Cards? Well, here's a little something.". The woman gave each of them another little card, but it was called a Blue Card. You store your points in it. She told them that her name was Buena and that she was the host of her radio show called 'Buena's Password'. It was on from 6:00 pm to 12:00 am. If they tuned in to the radio show and got the password, they were supposed to go see her and she'll give them each a point. They can trade they're points for cool prizes! Then, they were wanting to go to the next floor, when they got to the stair way, a man blocked it. "Sorry, you can't go through. The director is acting a little werid.", said the man. And then, Crystal, Thunder and Jen just went on, back outside. Then, they went straight to the Gym. When they got there, there was a girl there. She said that she was the Gym Leader, Whitney. Then, they went into the Gym and were going to start the battle off with Jen vs Whitney. "Go Lynda!", yelled Jen. "Go Miltank!", yelled Whitney. "Lynda, use Ember!", yelled Jen. "Use Rollout, Miltank!", yelled Whitney. Charmander dodged Miltank's attack and used Ember. Miltank was beaten. Next, Thunder. "Go Onix!", yelled Thunder. "Miltank, use Rollout!", yelled Whitney. "Onix, dodge it and use Bind attack!", yelled Thunder. Miltank tried to use Rollout on Thunder's Onix, but Onix dodged it and used Bind. Miltank was out of the battle. Miltank got all healed and was ready to fight again. It was Crystal's turn now. It was not going to be very easy now that Miltank is at full heath. They got to the arena, and went into battle. "Go Watery!", yelled Crystal. "Go Miltank! Use your Rollout!", yelled Whitney. "Dodge it and Water Gun!", yelled Crystal. Whitney's Miltank used Rollout as it was told, but Crystal's Totodile dodged it and used Water Gun. Miltank fell over onto the ground. "Good job, Watery! Now, use your Razor Leaf!", yelled Crystal. "Wait, Totodile is a Water-type Pokemon, not a Grass-type.", said Whitney. "My Totodile's special.", said Crystal. "You mean it can actually use Razor Leaf?", asked Whitney. Just then, Crystal's Totodile used Razor Leaf, and defeated Miltank! "This isn't over yet, Crystal. Go Clefairy!", yelled Whitney, "Clefairy, use Doubleslap!". "Hurry and dodge it, Watery!", yelled Crystal. Clefairy was close enough to use Doubleslap and when it was about to hit Totodile, Totodile hurried up and dodged it. Then, Totodile used Razor Leaf. Clefairy got hit badly with the Razor Leaf attack, but was still willing to fight. "Watery, use Rage and Water Gun!", yelled Crystal. Watery used Rage and ran super fast at Clefairy, then when Watery was close enough, it let a powerful Water Gun out of it's mouth. Clefairy has been defeated, Crystal won! "Good match! It's been a while since anybody won against me.", said Whitney. Just then, Crystal's Totodile started to glow bright white. "What's happening to my Totodile?", asked Crystal. "Um... I think Watery's evolving.", said Jen. Then, when Totodile stopped glowing, Crystal's Totodile wasn't there anymore. In it's place, stood it's new evolved form, Croconaw. Crystal took her Pokedex out, and pointed it at her Croconaw. Pokedex: "Croconaw, a Water-type Pokemon. Croconaw is the second evolutionary stage of Totodile. This Pokemon has a monstrous jaw that it uses very well in battle! When it clamps down on an opponent, it may lose one of its 48 fangs in the struggle-but not to worry, it will always grow another fang if it loses any!". "Wow! My Totodile just evolved into a Croconaw. When Watery was a Totodile, it looked a little more cuter, but this is a little bit cooler.", said Crystal. Croconaw ran up to Crystal and jumped right into her arms. Crystal smiled. "I think these belong to the 3 of you.", said Whitney, as she held out her hand. There, in her hand were the 3 Plain Badges they needed. They each got they're badge and thanked Whitney one more time. Then, they went to the Pokemon Center. After they got they're Pokemon back, they went on the road to Ecruteak City.

Chapter 7 Leaving Goldenrod City, and the Bug-Catching Contest

Crystal, Thunder, and Jen left Goldenrod City just 1 or 2 minutes ago, and they were already in a battle. Well, at least Crystal was. "Ember attack, Daisy!", Crystal yelled. "Use Doubleslap, Clefable!", yelled another trainer. Crystal had 4 Houndooms, and wanted to train, at least, one of them a week. And today, she was training Howly's girlfriend, Daisy. Daisy has dodged Clefable's Doubleslap, and used an Ember attack on it's back. The Clefable wanted to keep going, it struggled to stand up again, but it fainted. "Yay, Daisy!", Crystal yelled, as she ran to Daisy, and Daisy jumped into Crystal arms. Daisy started licking Crystal, and Crystal laughed. "Hehehehehe! Stop that! That tickles!", Crystal laughed. Daisy wouldn't stop, she just loved Crystal so much. Thunder, Jen, and that trainer Crystal won against, were all laughing, too. Then, 3 minutes later, Daisy finally stopped licking Crystal. Crystal battled a lot, but Jen was just looking for a battle with wild Pokemon, so she could capture them, and Thunder was battling all the boy trainers, he didn't want any of them getting soft with Crystal, so Thunder battled the boys. Then, after battling with a bit to much trainers, Crystal and Thunder got a little tired, and there were just 2 more trainers to go. Crystal battled with Juggler Irwin, and Thunder battled with the circus Flame Eater. After Crystal's match, the Juggler asked for her number, so maybe they could chat or battle again. So, Crystal decided to get his number. Then, they left inside a little building. "Hello. Would any of you 3 like to enter the Bug-catching contest?", asked a person who was in the building. "B-B-Bugs?????", Crystal asked in horror. She didn't like bugs. She only liked Butterfree, and that's it. "Yes, bugs. It's a Bug Pokemon catching contest. Third place winner will get a Gold Berry, second place winner will get an Everstone, and first place winner will get a Sunstone.", said the person. Crystal almost always wanted a Sunstone, but she didn't want to risk that. She didn't like bug Pokemon at all. "Sunstones are one of the most prettiest stones, wish I could get 1, but I'm scared of boug Pokemon.", Crystal said in a whisper so no one would hear her, but Thunder heard her. "I'll enter the contest. Sign me up.", Thunder said to the guy. "Ok.", the guy said. The guy looked at Thunder's pokeballs and said, "Oh- no. you have more than 1 Pokemon, please, choose the Pokemon you would like to use in the contest.", the guy said. "That's easy, my Cyndaquil of course.", Thunder said. "Already then. You signed up. Oh, and take these, everyone in the contest is supposed to use Parkballs instead of Pokeballs.", the guy said, as he handed Thunder the Parkballs. Thunder took the balls, and Jen, Crystal, and Thunder walked outside. Crystal and Jen were gonna wait, and sit down on a bench, while Thunder went to find a strong bug Pokemon. Crystal wondered why he was doing this, but just ignored that question. Thunder found a really strong Pinsir, it was at level 19, best level! His Cyndaquil used Flamethrower, and the Pinsir fainted. He was ready. He went back to the girls, and the 3 of them went to the other building. Thunder told the guy there that he was done, and the guy said to wait for the others to come in. After 6 minutes of waiting, all the other people who entered the contest were there. "Ok. In third place, with 307 points, is Cindy Picnicker, who caught a Butterfree.", said the the guy who worked there, as he handed her a Gold Berry. "In second place, with 468 points, is Cool Trainer Nick, who caught Scyther.", the guy said, as he handed Nick an Everstone. "And in first place, with 879 points, is Thunder Jasons, who caught Pinsir!", the guy exclaimed, as he handed Thunder a Sunstone. Thunder turned to look at Crystal. "Crystal...", Thunder started. "What is it, Thunder?", Crystal asked. "Crystal, I won this for you.", Thunder said, as he handed her the Sunstone and blushed a light red. Crystal was standing there, surprised. "Thunder, I don't know what to say. But, thank you.", Crystal said. She was a bit to happy, that she gave Thunder a peck on the cheek. That made him blush, and Crystal blushed a bit, too. Crystal had put the Sunstone in her backpack, and they started for Ecruteak City again. They got out of the building, and had to battle again. With a Psycho trainer, and Schoolboy Alan. Alan wasn't a bad trainer, and Crystal wanted to battle him again, after they battled. So, Crystal got his number. Then, once again, they were walking to Ecruteak City, but there was a girl next to a tree blocking the way to Ecruteak City. A girl was there, and Crystal asked, "Excuse me... do you know what that tree is there for? We're trying to get to Ecruteak City." "Oh, I'm sorry. I can't get it out of the way. But, here.", the girl said, as she handed Crystal a Squirtbottle. "What's this?", Crystal asked, but when she looked up to look at the girl, she was gone. "Well, I guess I'll get the tree wet.", Crystal said, as she squirt the tree with water a couple of times. The tree started to move, it wasn't a tree, it was a... "Sudowoodo", it said. Crystal, and Jen jumped and gasped. It was a Pokemon. Crystal pulled her Pokedex out, and it said: "Sudowoodo, a Ground and Rock-type Pokemon. This Pokemon is a mystery. Although it disguises itself and often pretends to be a tree to avoid detection and attack, it's composition appears to be closer to a rock than a plant. That being said, Sudowoodo hates water (like Rock Pokemon should), so they will disappear if it starts raining."

"Oh. It's a Rock, and Ground-type? Thunder, I think this is your type of Pokemon, don't you think?", Jen asked. "I guess.", Thunder said, with a smirk, "Go Cyndaquil!" Cyndaquil came out of it's Pokeball, and was ready to fight. Sudowoodo made the first move, it used Rock Throw. "Dodge it, Cyndaquil!", Thunder yelled. Cyndaquil dodged it, and used Ember. It didn't affect Sudowoodo very much, after all, Fire- types were weak against Rock and Ground-types. So, this won't be easy. Sudowoodo used it's Low Kick, and hit Cyndaquil, then, Sudowoodo used another Rock Throw, which really weakened Cyndaquil a bit to much. Cyndaquil was to weak, it couldn't go on. Thunder ran to his first Pokemon, and whispered, "You did your best, Cyndaquil." But, just then, Cyndaquil started glowing bright white, just like Totodile in the Goldenrod Gym. When the white light was gone, there, in Cyndaquil's place, stood a Quilava. Crystal took her Pokedex out again, and it said: "Quilava, a Fire, Volcano-type Pokemon. Quilava is the second evolutionary stage of Cyndaquil. This Fire Pokemon is totally covered with non-flameable fur so it can withstand ANY flame attack! If you find yourself facing the backside of one of these fiery Pokemon, watch out cause that usually means it's about to launch a huge flame attack on it's opponent."

"Wow! My Cyndaquil evolved!", Thunder yelled, "Now, let's get that Sudowoodo, eh, Quilava?" "Quil! (Yeah!)", said Quilava. "Quilava, use Smokescreen and Tackle!", yelled Thunder. Quilava went in front of Sudowoodo, and used Smokescreen, and it gave a long, but fast run towards the Sudowoodo, and it was finally defeated. "Pokeball Go!", Thunder yelled, as he threw a Pokeball at it. The Sudowoodo went into the ball, and the ball was shaking, the Sudowoodo was trying to get out. It tried, and tried, but was a bit weakened. Then, it finally gave up. Thunder now had a Sudowoodo. Crystal and Jen cheered, that was a really powerful Pokemon, and Thunder had beaten it, and caught it! Crystal ran at Thunder and hugged him. "Boy, you've really gotten stronger, Thunder. How about we battle after we get our Fog Badges?" Crystal asked, in excitment. "No problem, Crystal. We can battle then.", Thunder answered. Crystal and Thunder wanted to be the very best, and Jen was just getting the badges cause she thought that were pretty, and wanted a collection. Jen really didn't wanna go to the Pokemon League. She think's that she's not ready for that harder stuff, besides, she wanted to just learn more about the badges, Gyms, Citys, and learn all she could about Fire Pokemon.



Chapter 8 Arrival in Ecruteak City, Ecruteak Gym Battle, and the Fog badge

After that experience with the Sudowoodo, they were once again, walking to Ecruteak City. They just needed to battle 2 more trainers, and they were at Ecruteak City. After they battled the trainers, they had finally arrived in Ecruteak City. They found the Pokemon Center very easily. They healed their Pokemon and went to look for the Gym. They found it a couple of minutes later. They walked in, and found the Gym Leader right away. "So, let me guess. You've come here to battle me for the Fog badge, right?", Morty asked. "Yup!", Crystal said cheerfully. Morty just laughed. "No one has beaten in a while, and I don't in tend on losing to any of you. We'll battle there.", he said, as he walked to a little clearing. Crystal, Jen, and Thunder followed. It was Jen vs Morty in the first round, 1 Pokemon each. "Go Gastly!", Morty yelled, as his Ghost- type Pokemon came out of it's Pokeball, and started the match. 'A Ghost-type, huh? My Fire-types'll whip 'em back to the graveyard.', thought Jen, then she yelled, "Go Charmander!" "Gastly, use Lick attack!", yelled Morty. "Lynda, dodge it, and use your Flamethrower!", Jen yelled to Charmander. Charmander dodged it, and was lucky enough to use it's Flamethrower before Gastly could use Lick attack again. The Gas and Ghost-type Pokemon was out. "You did your best, Gastly. Next challenger, get into the battlefield.", Morty said to Thunder. Thunder got up, and walked off to the battlefield. "Are you sure that your ready to battle against a pro?", Morty asked, with a smirk. "Yeah yeah. Let's just get on with the battle.", Thunder said. So, they started. "Go Haunter.", Morty said. "Go Quilava!", yelled Thunder. "Haunter, use Night Shade.", Morty said, confidently. "Quilava, dodge it, and use Flamethrower!", yelled Thunder. Quilava dodged the Night Shade, and used Flamethrower. The attack only hurt Haunter a little. Like half way. "Oh-no!", yelled Thunder. Morty just laughed. "Use Lick attack, then Shadow Ball!", yelled Morty. Haunter was headed for Quilava, when Quilava dodged the Lick and Shadow Ball attacks. "Now, use your best attack!", Thunder yelled with fire in his eyes, "FLAME WHEEL ATTACK!!!!!!!!" Quilava ran quickly to Haunter, and used Flame Wheel, damaging the Haunter all the way this time! Haunter was out of the match, Thunder won! Crystal ran towards him, and hugged him. "You were great, Thunder!", Crystal said, a bit more cheerful. "Thanks, Crystal.", Thunder said back. "Your next. On to the battlefield, now.", said Morty. Crystal, right away, turned a bit pale. She was afraid of Ghost-type Pokemon, and real ghosts, too. Thunder could tell, he could see that she was scared. But, Crystal wasn't gonna let that fear keep her away from the Johto League. She walked to the battlefield slowly. Finally, when she was there, they started the match. "Go Gengar!", yelled Morty. A bigger Ghost-type Pokemon came out of the Pokeball. Crystal got a bit scared, but took her Pokedex out. It said that Gengar was the evolved form of Gastly and Haunter. She picked a Pokemon, and got into battle. "Go Watery!", yelled Crystal. Her Croconaw came from the Pokeball, and got in a fighting stance. "Gengar, Lick attack!", yelled Morty. "Dodge it, and Water Gun!", Crystal said. Gengar was close enough to attack, but missed, and Croconaw used Water Gun. That nearly got everything out of Gengar. "Get up, Gengar. Use Shadow Ball!", yelled Morty. Gengar was about to attack, when Croconaw used Rage and Water Gun. That got Gengar out of the battle, Crystal won! She ran out of the battlefield, and back to Thunder and Jen. "I did it! And that was his best Pokemon! I can't believe Watery did it!", Crystal said, as she hugged Thunder. Jen was happy for Crystal and Thunder. Not because of they've won the badges, but because Crystal and Thunder were beginning to become a couple, though, they didn't know that, yet. They congratulated each other for winning the matches, and then, Morty stepped in. He gave Jen her new Fog badge, and stopped at Thunder to say a couple of things. "You battled great, Thunder. You really do deserve this Fog badge.", Morty said, and gave him a Fog badge, too. Then, he stopped at Crystal. "You are very powerful, you and your Croconaw. No one has ever beaten my Gengar. So, you definately, deserve this Fog badge.", Morty said, as he handed Crystal the Fog badge. "Thank you, Morty.", Crystal, and Jen said. "Thanks.", Thunder said. Then, they walked back to the Pokemon Center, healed their Pokemon, and left on the Route to Olivine City.

Chapter 9 A Birthday, and The Imposter

Crystal, Thunder, and Jen were walking for quite a while, when they had battle, in the hot sun. It must have been over 90 degrees, everyone, even the Pokemon, were so thirsty. Crystal, Thunder, and Jen had to find more water, cause they had ran out of water. They were walking along, when they saw Pokemon trying to drink the sand, there must have been a river there, but the sun must have dried it up. The Pokemon were looking so thirsty, and so were Crystal, Thunder, and Jen. They walked up the river, and found that there were machines, that were sucking up the water. Our heroes ran to the machines, and looked for an off switch. They couldn't find one. So, they had to use their Pokemon. Crystal had let Howly, Watery, Eve, and Rita out. Thunder let out his Cyndaquil, Sudowoodo, and Onix. And finally, Jen had let her Mareep, and Charmander out. Howly, Lynda, and Cyndaquil used Flamethrower to try and fry the circuits of the machine. Mary, and Eve were using Tackle to make the thing brake and fall off. Sudowoodo, and Onix were using Rock Throw to help Mary and Eve. While Rita, and Watery were using Razor Leaf to try and cut through the machine. They were getting tired by the minute, but with one final blow, it fell over, the circuits were fried, and it had been with bumps all over it. They looked around at it, and after a few seconds, they found to off switch. They turned it off, the water was flowing back into the river, they took a couple of sips, and left, back on the road to Olivine City.

After a couple of minutes, they had finally entered Olivine City! They felt a bit tired, and decided to go to the Gym ether the next day, or the day after that. They looked around for a place to stay, and found one after 30 minutes of walking around. They walked into their room, and just fell onto their beds. They were so tired, that they could barely stay awake.

The next day, Crystal woke up earlier than Jen, and Thunder. She went to put her clothes on, when she saw her little calender. She took it out, and looked at it. It was September 21st, her birthday. She couldn't believe it, she was 11 right that day. Crystal was so excited, that she wanted to wake Thunder, and Jen up, but held back on that. She just went outside, to where there was a little pool. Crystal decided that maybe her Water Pokemon would like to come out for a swim. So, she took all of her Pokemon out, and her Water-type Pokemon went into the water, while Crystal's other type Pokemon were just playing around out of the water. It was still 4:38 a.m, it was still dark outside, yet it felt as though she and her Pokemon were supposed to wake up at that time. Crystal sat down, thinking. Did Thunder, and Jen remember her birthday? Did she even tell Thunder, and Jen that September 21st was her birthday? She would have to wait, and find out when they wake up. Crystal was still thinking, then she felt something on her shoulder. She was afraid to look, but had to look. She slowly turned her head, and there, was an ugly hooded person. The person's hooded cloak was all black, and Crystal was getting cold. She felt as though she was being sucked into darkness, and as though something was sucking all the happiness out of her as well. She fell onto the stone ground, motionless. Her Pokemon had returned to their Pokeballs, and she was alone. Her eyes weren't happy, or cheerful anymore, they were now cold, and with out any heart, or soul in them. Then, something had woken Thunder up. He went to look for what woke him up, then he saw it. The same hooded figure that sucked Crystal's happiness away. Thunder looked around the hooded figure, and found Crystal on the floor next to it. Thunder ran outside to help Crystal, but the hooded figure got in the way. "Man! I have to get to her.", he said. Then, he had an idea. "Go Onix!", Thunder yelled, "Onix, grab Crystal and get her back into the motel!" Onix went over the hooded figure, grabbed Crystal, and went into the motal quietly. Thunder had to face off with the hooded figure. "What do you want with Crystal?", Thunder asked. The hooded figure didn't answer. It just moved closer to Thunder. The hooded figure was trying to get Thunder in the same state it had put Crystal in. But, it didn't have any affect on Thunder. Cause, he wasn't thinking of the happiest thing that had ever happened to him. And, Thunder had only had 1 happy memory. (Me: I'm not gonna tell ya. Hehehe! You'll find out closer to the end.). After Onix had put Crystal back onto her bed, Onix came came back out, and was ready to fight. "Onix, give 'em the Bind attack!", yelled Thunder. Onix, literally, threw itself at the hooded figure, and used Bind attack. And right away, the hooded figure disappeared. Onix was recalled to its Pokeball, and Thunder ran back into the motel, to see if Crystal was ok.

When he had gotten back into the motel, and next to Crystal, she still looked the same.... with out a soul. Thunder had wondered what that thing was, and why it was after Crystal. Thunder got closer to Crystal, to see if her heart was beating, and to see if she was breathing. It was true, she was still alive. Thunder was happy that she was alive. He wouldn't have came this far without her. He waited for a couple of minutes, then Crystal's calender caught his eye. He picked it up, and looked around at it. He saw that it was September 21st, Crystal's birthday, and he didn't get her a present. It was 6:57 a.m, he could probably go out to a store, and buy her a present before she wakes up. It was settled. He went to change his clothes, walked out the door, and saw a bunch of stores. He didn't know where to look, until a nice little shop caught his eye. He went into the store, and someone asked, "May I help you?" "Oh, yes. I'm looking for a present for a girl's birthday.", Thunder answered. "Oh, a young girl, eh? I think I have just the thing.", said the sales clark. The sales clark went to the back of the store, and came back holding a very beautiful necklace, with a bracelet. Thunder pictured Crystal wearing it, with a nice dress. He blushed at the thought. "How about this? These are for any boy to give a girl. All girls have been wanting this, but for some reason, I feel like it was met for you to give the young girl.", said the sales clark, "These are very special. People call them, the 'Necklace and Bracelet of Love'. Only 2 people are destinied to have these. A boy, and a girl, but I never found anyone worthy enough to have these. But, the minute you came in, I knew you should be the one to take these." Thunder blushed again, but a bit redder. "Thanks. How much?", Thunder asked. "Oh, since I think your the one, 8 dollars should be enough.", the sales clark replied. "Thanks. I really think she'll like these.", Thunder said, with an excited look of his face. He handed the clark the money, and the clark wrapped the necklace and bracelet up for him, and out Thunder went.

At 7:09 a.m, Thunder got back to motel. He hid the gift he bought for Crystal, and he went to wake Jen up. "Jen, wake up. Jen.", Thunder whispered. "W-What is it, Thunder?", Jen asked, sleepily, but in a whisper. "It's 7:09, don't you think you should-", Thunder was cut off. "Yeah, I think so too. I should go make Crystal a birthday breakfast.", Jen whispered, with a smile. Thunder smiled too. "So, you did remember. Well, she'll be waking up any moment now.", Thunder whispered. Jen was fast, she got up quickly, and made breakfast as if she were pressing just 1 button. "Wow.", Thunder said, with his eyes wide. Jen was really fast.

At 7:58 a.m, Crystal finally woke up. And, she woke up to a surprise. "Happy Birthday, Crystal!", Thunder and Jen said together. Crystal sat there, surprised. She didn't think they would remember. But, here they were, saying 'Happy Birthday'. Crystal smiled. "I hoped the 2 of you would remember!", Crystal said, cheerfully. When she tried to stand up, she fell. Thunder caught her, in his arms. Both Crystal and Thunder blushed. They both looked at where Crystal fell down, and there, was 1 of Jen's Sandshrews. Jen grinned. "Oh, how did he get out? Sorry. Return Sandshrew.", Jen said with the same grin. Crystal was still in Thunder's arms, and they both blushed again. Crystal got up, but was still a bit weak. That hooded figure from last night had really taken a lot out of her. She had to lean on Thunder all the way to the table. She sat down, and Jen brought Crystal her breakfast, Thunder and Jen got their breakfast, and the 3 of them started eating. After breakfast, Thunder and Jen were to give Crystal her gifts (just 2 gifts, 1 from each). "You guys, you know you didn't have to do this.", Crystal said. "Well, we wanted to.", said Thunder. Crystal smiled. "Thanks a lot, Thunder, you too, Jen.", Crystal said, brightly. "No problem, Crystal. Anything for my best friend!", Jen giggled. Jen went first. Jen had brought Crystal pictures. Pictures of Jen, herself (Crystal), and Thunder. Crystal was happy to have pictures of her friends. "Thanks so much, Jen!", Crystal exclaimed. "Your welcome, Crystal!", Jen exclaimed back. Crystal had some picture frames with her from her home. She would put the pictures in those frames.

Next is Thunder, and he was excited to give her the gift. When Crystal had opened the gift from Thunder, she was so happy! The necklace and bracelet were so beautiful! Crystal gasped. "Oh!!!!!!!! Thanks so much, Thunder!", Crystal said, as she hugged Thunder. "Your welcome, Crystal. Just thought you'd like this.", Thunder said, with a smile that Crystal just love'd to see. Crystal wanted to try them on, but she needed help to put the necklace on. So, Jen helped Crystal put the necklace on, and Jen had let Crystal wear one of her dresses. Crystal was so beautiful! Thunder couldn't get her out of his head. "So, how do I look?", Crystal asked, with the most beautiful smile she's ever made to Thunder. Thunder's eyes were nearly glued to Crystal. She was just so beautiful, and cute wearing that dress! "You look great, Crystal! You should go to the ball, ya know.", Jen said. "Yeah! Good idea, but maybe when there's actually one to go to, plus I don't even have a date.", Crystal said, posing, because Jen was taking pictures. Jen just smiled. "I think I know who could take you.", Jen said, as she looked at Thunder. Thunder just stood there, staring at Crystal. Crystal saw Thunder staring at her, she blushed a bit. "W-What are you staring at, Thunder?", Crystal asked, still blushing. Thunder came back to reality, and caught himself staring at Crystal. "Oh. N-Nothing. You just look great in that dress.", Thunder said, with a smile. Crystal just blushed pinker. "T-Thanks, Thunder.", Crystal said, blushing like crazy! Jen just smiled again.

Jen just took a couple more pictures, then Crystal took the dress off, and changed into her own clothes. "Lets go, guys. I think today might be our lucky day!", Crystal said, with a smile. "Yeah, because it's your birthday.", Jen giggled. Crystal giggled too. "I think your right about that. Hehehe!", Crystal said. Then they had set off into the town with hope of earning the Mineral Badge. They couldn't find the Gym, and decided to ask for directions. And they had just found out that they were right in front of the Gym!

They walked into the Gym, and the Leader was just sitting down somewhere when she noticed our heroes. "Oh. Hello. I'm Jasmine, Gym Leader of Olivine City. Did the 3 of you come to battle me?", Jasmine asked. "Yeah, we did.", Jen said. "Well, I think we better start then.", Jasmine said, as she stood up and got to the battle field. "I'll go first.", Jen said, as she also walked to the battle sight.

"Go Steelix!", Jasmine yelled. A big Steel- type Pokemon came out of the Pokeball. It looked like an over sized Onix. "Well, if you pick that, I'll pick this!", Jen exclaimed, as she threw a Pokeball into the air. A red and peach colored crab came out of its Pokeball. "My Krabby will win this for me.", Jen said confidently. "We'll see about that.", Jasmine said. "I'll show you!!!!!!", Jen growled. "Ok then. We'll start now. Steelix, use Sandstorm.", Jasmine commanded. "Krabby, use Withdraw, and get closer!", Jen yelled. Steelix used Sandstorm, but it didn't affect on Krabby. Because it was using Withdraw. Krabby got closer, and closer, and was close enough! "Ok Krabby! Use Crabhammer attack!", Jen commanded in a yell. That was it! It was a one hit KO! Steelix was unable to battle! Jen wins!

Next, is Thunder. "This should be a bit harder than with that girl.", Jasmine smirked. "In your dreams, I'll beat you like I have the other Gym Leaders.", Thunder yelled at Jasmine. "Alright, alright, can we start now?", Jasmine asked, with the same smirk. "I'm ready, so let's start!", Thunder yelled, and the battle went under way.

"Go Steelix!", Jasmine had sent her Steelix out again. "Go Quilava!", Thunder yelled. The same Steelix went ou to battle, and Thunder had sent his Quilava out to battle. Although Thunder didn't know, he had a type advantage. Steel- types are weak against Fire-types, so he could probably win with one hit if it were strong enough. "Go Quilava, use Flame Wheel!", Thunder commanded. Quilava obeyed, it used Flame Wheel! It knocked the Steelix out with 1 hit!

Now, it's Crystal's turn. She was a bit nervous. Jasmine had used a Full Restore on her Steelix. Now this'll be a bit harder. She didn't know the type-match ups, and she didn't have her Vulpix with her.... She's in big trouble now. "Can we start?", Jasmine asked, eagerly. "Um..... ok.", Crystal said nervously. Jasmine heard that nervous tone in her voice, and thought maybe she could mess with Crystal's head. Jasmine grinned evily at that thought. "Nervous? Why not just give up while your ahead?", Jasmine said, trying to mess with her head. Jasmine's Steelix was special. It knew attacks that other Steelixs would never learn. Her Steelix caught the idea from her head, and started using an attack called 'Hypnosis'. "You know, you should be nervous. You'd never be able to beat me. Take it from me, quit while your ahead.", Jasmine said, still messing with Crystal's head. As Jasmine spoke, Steelix was using Hypnosis to get Crystal to believe, and only listen to Jasmine. And unfortunately, it worked. Crystal was really into that trance.

Jen was looking around, and not paying attention. Thunder was looking at Crystal with a weird look. He looked at her eyes, and they were just like earlier that morning. When that hooded figure came after her. Was this a trick? Was Jasmine trying to get Crystal to NOT battle her, and go to the Johto League? He had to snap Crystal out of it before she actually does what Jasmine says! "CRYSTAL!!!! SNAP OUT OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!", he yelled. But Crystal couldn't come back to normal. He had to get her to snap out of it. He looked at Jasmine, she looked different. She reminded him of someone. But he couldn't exactly put his foot on it. But then, he remembered! She's Jasmine the Medium! She's done crystal gazing, psychic, and is a member of Team Rocket! "NOW I REMEMBER YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", Thunder yelled at Jasmine, "YOUR JASMINE, THE MEDIUM FROM TEAM ROCKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "Yes, and I was wondering when you'd remember. But then again, I already knew.", Jasmine said. She was a psychic in disguise. She ripped her costume off, and revealed, a girl with dark green hair, white skirt, and a black shirt with a big violet-red R in the middle. She looked a lot like Sabrina, the Psychic Gym Leader of Saffron City, and Medium Jasmine has acted like Sabrina once before.
