Hi guys! Thank you for saying Happy B-Day to me! Meant a lot to me! :)

I'm so sorry that I updated later than usual. I spent my entire Saturday going to the movies with my friend.

If you think Batman: The Dark Knight is the best movie you have ever watch, you are now my friend. LOL.

Anyways, enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 20:

"Where is that guy?" Crystal murmured. She was walking down the road and has not seen the guy at all. She figured that at least by now Jimmy should have been on the road now.

"Well, maybe Jimmy is still trying to find that Slowpoke," John suggested.

"How hard it is to find a Slowpoke? Especially when they are slow?"

"Uhhh..."

Yes, he's exactly like Jimmy. Crystal sighed, praying that stupid kid is all right. She was almost at the well when she saw something that made her stop in her tracks.

A car, no, a truck. A large truck.

What's a truck doing on the side of the road? Crystal went up curiously at the large vehicle, wondering what was going on.

"What's wrong?" John asked curiously.

"Err, why is this truck on the side of the road?"
"I dunno. Flat tire?" Crystal shrugged her shoulders.

"But there's nobody here."

"Maybe, they went to check out the well."

"Why would they bring their truck? Wouldn't it be easier to just stop at town and come here later?" John was stumped on this question and was saved from answering when large crashing noises came from the truck.

"What the-" John bewildering asked. Crystal stared at the truck with even more confusion. Since when do trucks carry stuff that bang around when they were not moving. "There must be some rabid Pokemon in there!"

"Why would a deserted truck leave a rabid Pokemon in there? Hello?" Crystal pounded on the side of the truck. "Who's banging?"
"Crystal?" a voice came from the other side of the truck, "Is that you?"
"Jimmy?"
"Jimmy?" John was shocked. What's Jimmy doing, locking himself up in a truck?

"John? That you?" Jimmy's voice was muffled and it was very hard to hear what he was saying.

"Yeah, it's me?" John replied, "Dude, how did you lock yourself inside a truck?" There was silence on the other side before Jimmy replied.

"Well, I was more like put to sleep and then forced into the truck. They tied me up. Listen Crystal-"
"Wait," Crystal said carefully, "Let me get this straight. You got put to sleep, then tied up and locked up inside a truck. Am I getting this right so far?"

"Yeah," Jimmy replied, "That's right. Crystal, these people-"

"What did you do to make those people lock you up?"

"What?! No! I didn't do anything! All I did was go to the Slowpoke Well and this girl just showed up and some powder was floating in the air and-"

"Okay," Crystal cut in, "Forget it. Let's just get you out there now."
"Wait Crystal! These people! I think-"

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" John and Crystal turned around and found two people wearing black watching them.

"Uhh, you accidentally locked a friend of ours in there," Crystal said, pointing to the truck.

"Accidentally? Oh no, it was no accident," the girl smiled reaching for her Pokeball on her belt.

"What?" Crystal asked, confused. John realized what the girl was going to do and immediately grabbed for his Pokeball.

"Oddish Poison Powder!" The girl yelled throwing her Pokeball into the air.

"Mario! Use Flame Wheel!" John's Pokeball revealed a large Infernape who immediately covered himself with flames and spin toward the purple powder, burning it up to a crisp. John pushed Crystal out of the attacks just in time.

"Argh! No fair, using a fire type on a grass type!" The girl yelled frustrated. The guy next to her, looked slightly embarrassed and frustrated.

"Rebecca! You blew our cover!"

"Oh sorry Jet," the girl responded though she didn't sound really sorry.

"John, did you call that Infernape 'Mario'?" Crystal asked. Since when do people name their Pokemon after video game characters?

"Yeah, it's a cool name," John said stubbornly. Crystal shrugged but muttered a thanks.

"Hey Crystal!" Jimmy yelled, "These people! They're after-"

"Rebecca, keep them distracted! I take this kid over to the bosses."
"You're just going to get all the credit!"

"Uh, no. It's because you can't drive and these kids won't leave us alone."
"The curse of being a young teenager," Rebecca grumbled, "Fine." Jet ran to the driver's seat.

"Mario! Use Mach Punch!"

"Oddish Sweet Scent!" The little bulb Pokemon sent out a pink sweet smelling powder, causing Mario to stop in its track and to become dazed.

"No! Mario snap out of it!" Crystal threw her Pokeball into the air and revealed a Xatu.

"Xatu! Use Ominous Wind!" The large Pokemon spread its totem pole wings and started to blow away the powder. Dust spread around, making it hard to see. The truck was getting away and by then it'll be too late. Without hesitation, Crystal jumped up onto the truck.

"Little girl, it's not safe to climb on trucks. You could get hurt. Oddish use Petal Dance!" The little Pokemon sent petals that looked more like pink daggers toward Crystal. Crystal jumped high in the air and did several cartwheels to dodge the attacks, however, she still received several bloody cuts.

"You could've killed somebody!" Crystal yelled at Rebecca.

"Uh, that's the point!"

"Crystal!" Jimmy yelled struggling to break free of the ropes, "Argh, these ropes won't get off." John was getting frustrated at the whole situation and when he gets frustrated, its destruction time.

"I'm sick of this! Nobody hurts my friends! Mario use Earthquake!" Mario slammed his fists to the ground and the whole place started to shake like crazy. Oddish and Rebecca fell to the ground unable to get up. The truck was shaking to and fro, almost causing Crystal and Xatu to fall off the truck.

"Okay that's it. Things have now gone too far!" Jet yelled when he saw Rebecca on the ground, hurt, "Gyarados come out!" The large dragon Pokemon flew out of Jet's Pokeball and stared menacingly at the trainers. "Gyarados! Use Hydro Pump!" The large dragon Pokemon blew a menacing whirlpool of water at Crystal and Xatu.

"Crystal!" John yelled, but the water slammed on top of the truck and then went straight to him. "Damn! Mario return!" John sent the monkey back into its Pokeball just before the water slammed onto his face and sent him flying backward.

John gasped for air after the attack was over. He looked around and saw that Rebecca was flying on top of a Pigeot toward the truck. She smiled at John's bewildered face and waved goodbye.

"Wait up!" John tried to climb on the moving truck without much success. The truck was already out of sight. "DAMN! DAMN!"

...

"Thanks for the Pigeot Jet," Rebecca said as she sat next to the driver's seat.

"No problem. I have experience with situations like this. YOU need to be more careful."
"Awww," Rebecca pouted, "You're no fun. Besides I wanted to be the one to fight that blue pigtail girl."

"Whatever," Jet rolled his eyes, "She's taken a huge hit from that attack. She's probably really hurt right now."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!"
"Honestly!" Rebecca rolled her eyes, "does that guy always listen to our conversation. So rude."

"What did you do to Crystal?! You're going to get it now you dunce buckets! You have to deal with me now. So come on back here and let me give you a piece of my mind!"

"Really huh?" Rebecca rolled her eyes again, "You got guts but I'm not going to risk myself getting hurt. So shut up and sit tight." There was silence and then there were large banging noises. "SHUT UP!"

"Don't worry," Jet said. He pressed a button and the noises were almost nonexistent, "There, I installed the sound muffler. It'll be quieter now."

"Good," Rebecca said, smiling.

...

Jimmy wasn't finished. He continued on banging against the wall until he felt his arm screaming with pain and finally sank to the ground in exhaustion.

What happened to Crystal? Was she all right?
"I'm going to kill them as soon as I get out of here. Nobody hurts Crystal."

"Wow, I feel flattered now," a sarcastic voice said from behind. Jimmy jumped up from surprise and saw Crystal coming out from behind the boxes of crates.

"You... you... how did you... I thought you..." Jimmy sputtered, feeling himself turn red. Crystal stared at him with curiosity, but decided that Jimmy was just turning red from surprise.

"No I'm fine, thank goodness," Crystal went over to Jimmy and started to undo the ropes.

"Wait how did you get here? I thought they blasted you with Hydro Pump or something like that." Crystal rolled her eyes but pointed to Xatu who was standing in the shadows.

"Xatu teleported me in here. Good thing too. One more second and I would've gotten really hurt," Crystal explained, "Gosh these ropes are tight."
"Crystal," Jimmy said quickly, not listening to a word Crystal had just said, "Everything I said was... you know... just... as..."

"You were concern for me as a friend. I know." Crystal rolled her eyes, "Seriously, what else could you have mean?"

"Um, nothing just concern for you as a friend," Jimmy muttered turning bright red again.

"There the ropes are off now. Let's go."
"Um, one problem Crystal. They took my Pokemon."
"What?!" Crystal groaned. So much for the escape plan. "We're just going to have to stay in here till we grab one of those people. We can't attack them now since it might cause a explosion on this truck. I wonder why they would want you though."

"Crystal," Jimmy said, remembering what those two people said, "They're not after me. They took me by mistake."

"What?" Crystal said surprised, "You mean that they were planning to kidnap somebody?"
"Yeah, you."

...

"Well, so you two are the little sneaky intruders," Hun sneered at the two captured boys. "Judging by the looks of you guys, you," Hun pointed at Aaron, "are that little kid that almost ruined our plans when you tried to open the shrine. And you," Hun pointed at Daichi, "are a Pokemon ranger. I bet you were trying to stall us while waiting for reinforcements." Daichi scowled at the lady, which only pleased her.

"Hun! Jet and Rebecca are almost here!" Atilla said after listening to the walkie-talkie.

"Good, let's bring out the final trump card into play. Soon the legendary time traveler is ours." Daichi struggled but the Rocket grunts held him tightly. Aaron gasped as the bodyguards grabbed him by the neck. "Oh and take our prisoners and tied them up. I don't want anybody messing up our plans."
