Chapter two

Crystal blushes a shade of red as she keeps eyeing Ash up and down.

"Are you exited for your fist Pokemon?" Ash chuckles at her. He grabs her hand and shakes it for her. She finally snaps out of her trance and shakes her head. She never thought the character from her favorite series would be so attractive.

"Sorry… what?" she turns another shade of red, but this time out of embarrassment. Ash laughs.

"I said are you excited for your first Pokemon? I couldn't sleep at ALL last night. I just kept thinking of how I can now go on my on adventure to become the greatest trainer alive! And of course I have to stop Team Rocket. I'm glad the professors brought you here. I don't think I could do this by myself." He flashes her a smile. "So who do you think your going to pick?"

"Shit…" she mutters under her breath. I never thought of who I should pick. she looks down to see Ash's Cyndaquil running towards him. And there are the professors. Elm walks up to Crystal.

"OK my dear have you given it any thought? There is Chikorita, Totodile and we still have another Cyndaquil."

"Thanks professor, I still need to think it over." I always liked picking Cyndaquil, but Totodile is very cute also. Or maybe Chikorita? Nah I never was a fan of grass types… Ok… I got this. "I know who I'm going to pick." she looks at Elm and then Oak.

"Alrighty then. Come this way with me Crystal." Oak calls her over with his hand and leads her to the basement. She's kinda surprised to see all of the computer equipment everywhere. Not to mention the piles on piles of books! At the end of the path between all of this is a circular metallic platform. There are three pokeballs sitting on top. When Crystal and Professor Oak get to the platform, she notices an elemental symbol on each one.

"I'm gonna take it that the flame is Cyndaquil, the water drop is Totodile, and the leaf is Chikorita."

Oak looks at her and smiles. "No. its opposite. They have their weak elements on he balls." every word stings with sarcasm.

"Ha. Ha. Ha. Very funny professor." She rolls her eyes and laughs a little and then looks to the table. "This one professor." She picks up the ball with the water drop on it.

Ash comes running down the stairs with Cyndaquil trailing right behind him. "Hey Crystal! Did you pick yet?" He's so excited that it's funny. He almost trips on his way down but regains his posture and comes up. "which one?"

"For one you need to calm down and for two? I picked Totodile." Crystal takes the poke ball and puts it in his face. They laugh as he pushes it out of his face.

"Don't think I'm gonna battle you with a water type. I'm not that stupid!" Cyndaquil is so cute! It yells and the flame on its back heightens. "Ugh… obviously you don't agree with me huh?" ash giggles as he pets him.

Crystal just raises her eyebrow "Yea? I bet you don't wanna battle me because you know I'll win." smugness is written all over her face.

"Yea? Maybe right now but we shall wait and see later on."

"Ok! No more procrastinating! Its time for you guys to get a move on!" we all look towards professor Elm standing at the top of the stairs.

"Ok professor!" me and Ash start to leave when Oak stops us.

"Hold on. I want you to have these pokedex. I know your main goal is to do the league challenge but that doesn't mean you cant complete the dex on the way! Now I also want to tell you that a friend of mine will be waiting for you both in Cherry Grove. I need you to give him this report. After that he will tell you where to go." Oak hands Ash and I both a pokedex and Ash the report envelope. "and lastly.." Oak quickly rushes to a desk and digs around in a drawer. "here are some potions and pokeballs for each of you. Now get out of here and stop Team Rocket!"

Finally. Me and Ash are outside in the bright sunlight. Totodile and Cyndaquil are behind us playing around. I look over to Ash again and can't help but stare. I quickly look forward when he catches me and I start up conversation.

"So how far is Cherry Grove from here?"

"just up the road. We'll be able to see the Pokemon Center in a little bit." His eyes never wander away from mine when we hear an explosion. "What the hell?" Ash grabs Crystal and spins around to guard their faces from the blast. They can hear two people coming closer.

"So this is the famous Ash Ketchum and his little sidekick!"

"Who's that girl with him? There is no way that SHE is from the other world?"

Crystal and Ash finally can see who are talking. A tall boy of at least 19 is on the left. His hair is almost a platinum blonde and looks as if he hasn't washed it in weeks. And to the right is a girl, close to the same age if not older. She pretty much has the same appearance, just cleaner looking.

"We hear you want to stop Giovannis' amazing plan to corrupt the Pokemon League? Well we aren't going to allow that and neither are the new gym leaders we've hired.!" the girl just laughs and pulls out a poke ball.

"That's right you two! We are Giovannis favorite twin trouble! Meg and Mark!" with that he also pulls out a poke ball. Cyndaquil and Totodile step up in front of Ash and Crystal.

"We can't allow you to keep stealing Pokemon from trainers trying to better themselves!" Ash just looses it. And their first battle together begins.
