Disclaimer: I'm so lazy that I didn't want to put up a disclaimer. But I did anyways...

Hey guys, how are you? Sorry I haven't posted any new chapters for a while, but I've been busy with all the homework and tests my teachers are putting on me before my winter break.

I put in one OC in this chapter and its Rubii Naruto Insanity's. Congrats! I'll have WAY more OCs in the next chapter. I didn't feel like adding anymore after realizing I wrote three pages. (Yup I'm lazy)

Thank you grammaguy for editing this chapter.

Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 29:

"Girlfriend?" Crystal asked, utterly confused.

"YOU ARE NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" Jimmy exploded, shooting a glare at Mealine.

"You're right..." Mealine said thoughtfully. "You're more like 'soon to be husband.'"

"WHAT!?" Jimmy yelled, "When did you get that idea?!" Crystal stared at the two of them. Since when could people get married so early?

"Remember in New Bark Town where we used to live?" Mealine pouted with a puppy dog look in her eyes, "We decided to get marry when we were old enough." She hugged Jimmy again and kissed him. Jimmy felt himself turning red, not from embarrassment, but from rage. Crystal merely stood dumbfounded at the two people.

"We were five back then," Jimmy growled, trying to pry off Mealine's arm, "Since when was our future decided at the preschool age?"

"Come on," Mealine smiled and gigged girlishly, "you use to like me! Remember?"

"When you weren't acting like this!" Jimmy groaned, but Mealine was oblivious to Jimmy's comment. She turned her face toward Crystal and Crystal had to take a step back from the sudden change in expression.

"So why are you talking to my future husband like you're his girlfriend or something?" Mealine glared angrily at the bewildered blue hair girl in front of her. Now that she thought about it, Mealine thought this girl was obviously from a poor background. The girl's outfit was clearly not the latest fashion and she seemed to have no sense in hygiene since her clothes had dirt on them.

"Mealine, we are not getting married and Crystal is not my girlfriend!" Jimmy yelled in frustration. The commotion was enough to turn a few heads.

"Girlfriend?" Crystal asked again blankly, "What gave you that idea?"

"Crystal," Jimmy, bright red in the face, turned toward her, "Look, we're just friends. Nothing else, right?"

"Don't lie to me!" Mealine glared at Crystal, trying to face her.

"Whoa! Mealine!" Jimmy grabbed her arm and tried to pull her away, "Leave her alone!"

"Jimmy! Why are you on her side?" Mealine cried, "Why did you leave me?" Crystal sighed as Jimmy tried to calm his 'girlfriend' down. It was obvious that the two of them were attracting a lot more attraction than needed. And the girl's attitude was ticking her off.

"Jimmy, I'm going now," Crystal said, annoyed. "I'll meet you back at the Pokemon Center."

"W-wait! Crystal!" Jimmy yelled as she left the building, "Hold on!" He tried to go after her, explain to her, but the stupid girl pincering his arm would not let go of him.

"Yay! That woman is gone," Mealine did a victory sign, "Let's hang out now!"

"Oh no..." Jimmy groaned.

...

Crystal walked out of the city and into the grass fields that lay just out of the town. It was so nice to get out of that bustling place. She checked her Pokegear to read the messages. Professor Oak had sent her an email the other day, listing about twenty or more Pokemon that he wanted her to catch.

"Okay got it," Crystal nodded, memorizing all of the Pokemon names on the email, "now to work."

Hopefully her job would get her mind off what had happened today. For some reason she felt more irritated than usual.

...

"So how come you never called me?" Mealine pouted, asking again for the tenth time in a row.

"I didn't see a point and I didn't need to you to annoy me every second," Jimmy snapped. Mealine had dragged him to one of those nice French restaurants just next to the department stores. Mealine had (fairly predictably) ordered everything expensive on the menu, but Jimmy didn't have the appetite to eat. He just sucked on his ice cube in his glass of water.

"You know," Mealine frowned, "You could be a little bit nicer."

"I would," Jimmy replied back, "If you weren't so rude to Crystal."

"I have the right to act so." Mealine pouted and turned away when Jimmy's smile didn't appear. She remembered back then when Jimmy was the easy going kid that she always had a crush on. He'd always let her tag around with his friends, but ever since he was ready to get his first Pokemon, Jimmy had been ignoring her and even pushed her away. In the end, he even ran off without letting anybody know that he was leaving.

It was very selfish of him to do so now that Mealine thought about it. She thought that maybe Jimmy was going to train a bit and come back later so that they could journey together, but when that had obviously turned out to be false, she decided to travel around and find Jimmy herself. She was so happy to see him again... until she'd seen him with another girl...

"Jimmy, I-" Mealine turned around and saw that Jimmy, unsurprisingly, disappeared. "Darn it! Why does he always try to leave?" Mealine sighed in frustration. Jimmy always acted like this. Mealine fumbled in her wallet and took out the money to pay the bill before hurrying off to find the love of her life. This time to settle things once and for all.

"Professor Oak, I got all of the Pokemon you requested," Crystal said, as she deposited the last Pokeball into the transporter at the Pokemon Center. She was talking on the phone while speaking to Professor Oak in the screen in front of her.

"Thank you, Crystal," Oak said in relief. "Hmm. You got all of them faster than I would've thought though. You should take things a little bit easier."

"Well, I usually like to get the job done fast, and I have a Pokemon Contest I want to enter later." Crystal shrugged. " By the way, can you send the same amount of money to them again?"

"Sure Crystal," the professor nodded, "I'll do that. I'll talk to you later, okay?"

"No problem. Bye." Crystal hanged up the phone and Professor Oak's face disappeared from the screen. She went up to Nurse Joy to receive her healed Pokemon.

"Okay now that that's done," Crystal muttered as she placed her Pokeballs back into her backpack. She was going to walk back out of the door when she got hit full in the face by somebody.

"Ouch!" Crystal grimaced at the pain in her head and saw a tall 23 year old guy towering over her. He was almost six feet and had a black goatee which matched the color of his hair. He had on a black shirt over a brown jacket and was wearing blue jeans. His gray eyes were hardened with anger as his long fingers rubbed the bruise on his chin.

"Be careful next time," the guy growled icily before walking toward Nurse Joy.

"Sorry," Crystal muttered before walking out of the door. What a rude guy. She looked around the bustling place and sighed. She really wanted to find Ana, who'd competed with her in the Pokemon Contest last time, again so that way they could share their latest news.

"Crystal!" Crystal whipped her head around and saw the person she didn't want to see right now. She quickly walked toward the opposite direction. "Crystal wait!" Jimmy tried to catch up with Crystal but she was immediately swallowed into the crowd of people. "Man, she ran off." Jimmy sighed in frustration and noticed the Pokemon Center right next to him. "Guess I'll heal my Pokemon first before I find her."

Jimmy walked into the Pokemon Center and checked around the place, making sure Mealine wasn't around. Suddenly, the same guy came next to Jimmy, towering over him.

"Will you move?" the guy asked rudely. "You're blocking the door."

"Why should I?" Jimmy growled. Even though he knew it was best not to get into a fight, Jimmy wasn't in a good mood to care.

"Cuz' I need to get out," the person snapped.

"Well, ask more politely next time," Jimmy snapped back before moving away from the door.

"Are you asking for a fight?" Jimmy turned around and saw the guy, clearly furious. The room was falling silent as the crowd watch the two trainers stare menacingly at each other.

"Maybe," Jimmy muttered before he left, but the guy grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out.

"Come on then."

Author's Notes

Well that ending sucked. lol. More info on the OC in the next chapter.

I already hate Mealine and am thinking of many ways to suppress my anger... grrrrrrr

For those who are waiting for the DP story, I'm posting it soon, close to the 'winter holidays.' It is going to be a special chapter just right for the season (I think...)

Anyways, now to thank my reviewers. (more people reviewed. YAY!)

...

grammaguy

thanks for the review and for betaing. I look forward working with you again. lol.

Jarkes

hahahaha, things aren't going too great huh?

yeah, I remember the Pokemon Chronicles. I wish they actually do shows with hundreds of episodes that focus on other or new characters more and their story. I'm tired of seeing Ash take all of the spotlight.

I never watched Transformers. Heard it was good though. Maybe during the holidays, I'll rent it. Along with Dark Knight. hahahaha.

writer's block 2000

... the world is full of idiots (looks at Jimmy for reference...) Glad this chapter made you feel better. Call grammaguy now since he can help beta. thanks for the review.

Lady of DarkFire

Yes, lets burn her together. lol. I never like characters like Mealine, but I put her in there so I could compare two possible candidates for Jimmy. An idiot or cool person...

Yes a show with May as the main character and her journey through Johto. We'll get people to petition and soon we'll all be able to watch it on TV. hahaha. thanks for the review.

Rubii Naruto's Insanity

Yay! Thanks for the review. I know your OC sounds kinda mean, but that's what you said in your review, so I wrote what I know about mean people... He'll turn up nicer later.

aqua-dragon28

thank you for the review.

SportyGurl1997

hahaha, sorry for the late update. thanks for the review.

PerlaNemesis

haha, Crystal is too innocent in terms of love to realize that this girl is challenging her. Maybe after the next chapter, Crystal will start to figure things out...
