The New Rocket Member By Firehedgehog
Chapter Six
"Meet your new partner Ash,
this is Crystal Sapphier" Giovanni said
looking to the rooms main door, as
Jack watched the door opened and he
got his first look at his new
partner.
It was a teenage girl around his own
age who was petite 5'5 height, her
body was slim and athletic looking
but she had great atributes. She wore
the grey rocket uniform that seemed
to fit her perfectly, it also seemed to fit
her. Her face was slim with delicate
high cheekbones, her skin was ivory
white that seemed to shine in the
light, Her eyes were a strange silver color
and were slightly almond shaped. The
next thing jack noticed was her long
blue hair that ended just above her
butt, it had silver highlights in it, in the
middle of her forehead her bangs
were also silver and thinner there.
'What a babe' Jack thought and then
he wondered where that thought had
come from, he knew that he couldn't
have a girlfriend since he had finally
stopped aging and as an immortal
anyone he dated would still age.
It was then that a nasty
little voice reminded him of Misty and the crush he
still had to this day on her, it
would almost be like betrayal if he started
being attracted to another girl. 'Oh
well, but shes still cute' Jack thought, he
then watched as she gracefully
walked across the room and sat in a chair
next to him.
"This is my partner papa, he
doesn't seem like much," the girl said in an
almost angelic voice, Jacks eyebrow
twitched when she said papa. It was
just what he didn't need, to be
partnered up with the bosses daughter.
"Oh Jack is much more then he
seems Crystal and don't underestimate
him, and Jack don't worry shes not
really my daughter but she does think
me as almost a father,"
Giovanni said smirking at him seeing Jacks
expression, Jack sighed in relief
glad that she wasn't his daughter.
"I wasn't worried sir, I just
hope shes up to working for me," Jack lied in his
most convincing voice, Giovanni
nodded as if he believed him which he
probably didn't.
"Good now you two get going,
you should get to know each other before
your next mission," Giovanni
said and they both got up and left the office,
soon they were outside looking at
each other in distrust.
"Nice to meet
you Crystal," Jack said as friendly as he could, he sighed
silently when she didn't answer him.
'This isn't going to be much fun' Jack
thought, it was going to be a long
day.

Crystal looked at the boy who was to
be her partner, he was around sixteen
or seventeen years old with long
dark green hair and deep blue eyes, he
had a slim build to his body yet she
could see slight muscles to him. He
wore the usual team rocket uniform
yet the color showed he was one of the
elite members (one of the best), the
necklace around his neck was
interesting and gleamed slightly in
the dim light.
It was his voice that caught her
attention, it was sensual to her ears... it had
a musical tone to it and also an
emotion she couldn't place.
His pikachu was adorable not that
she would ever admit it, the way it
looked at Jack showed that
it was loyal entirely to the human and would do
almost anything for him.
"How long have you been with
team rocket?" she asked him, for a second
an emotion flickered across his
face but before she could identify it the
emotion faded away.
"For about six years now, how
about you?" he asked looking at her, Crystal
found herself trying not
to blush when he looked at her. 'Stop it' she thought
to herself, why was she acting like
this around a boy when he wasn't perfect
like herself... but something about
him made her heart beat faster.
"One year in the training area,
I have one of the fastest records of getting
through the training program... I
still haven't found out who the person who
beat me is yet," she said
trying to keep her annoyance out of her voice, for
a second she saw something that
might of been a smirk on his face but it
faded before she got a good look at
it.
"I'm sure you'll find the
person if your determined enough Crystal, did the
person have a nickname or
anything?" he asked, quickly she went through
her memory and remembered the name.
"They called the person
'MindWarp,' she said, he looked at her and she
saw a gleam of something in his eyes
and a small smirk on his face.
"How would you like to battle
against me with no pokemon to find out our
combat skills, we really should know
the other persons," he said, a slow
grin came to her own features at the
thought of action finally.
"I have to warn you that i
haven't lost ever to anyone, I am geneticly perfect
and you don't stand a chance,"
Crystal said, he looked at her and for a
second she felt a slight chill but
thought nothing of it.
***
The place they chose to battle was a
50 by 60 training room where people
usually trained there
pokemon, the walls were the dull grey of metal and the
floor was a bright red of easily
replacible bricks. Cameras could be easily
seen near the ceiling watching any
who were in the room, the only two
people in the room were Jack and
crystal.
For this match the two had changed
into more comfortable clothing, crystal
was wearing blue jean and
a white tank top with white sneakers and her
hair tied in a ponytail. Jack was
wearing a loose pair of jeans, a green tank
top and grey sneakers and as always
he wore his necklace.
"How long would you like the
match to be?" Jack asked the teenage girl,
she smiled and licked her lips in
anticipation.
"How about till one of us can't
keep going," she said and Jack nodded, in
Crystals mind she knew she would be
the last one standing.
"Then lets begin," he said
calmly, pikachu on the sidelines rang a buzzer
and there battle began.
Crystal ran towards him using great
speed with the grace that a cat would
be jealous, to her amusement she saw
that Jack had not yet moved
probably surprised at her speed. Her
arms and body readied her strike
which was as deadly as a cobra, her
hand reared back and striked.
"Huh..." she
said when Jack suddenly vanished as she was about to hit
him, startled she spun around to see
Jack smirking at her from across the
room.
"My that was
amusing, was that suppose to be dangerous or were you just
dancing," he said taunting her,
she gave a small growl in her throat angerly
that this unperfect human could
think he was better then her.
"That was only the beginning
Jack, I'm just warming up," she said in her
sweetest voice yet her voice also
promised pain, no one got away at
making fun of her.
"Oh I know your just warming
up, maby this will actually be fun," he said, but
before he did anything she leapt to
a great height and landed in front of
him. Angerly she grabbed him by
his shirt and pulled him into the air, or at
least she tried to.
"What," she said startled
wondering if her great strength had deserted her,
his smirk told her that it had not
left her.
"Never underestimate your
apponent Crystal, it could be your death," he
said rather calmly his smirk now
gone, Crystal them uttered a small scream
when her body was somehow thrown
across the entire room and she
slammed into the wall making a
slight dent.
"How..." she whispered looking
at him, now she could see a slight glowing
haze around him and realized that it
was a shield of sometype. Her eyes
narrowed nowing that he must be
using sometype of gadget to do that, she
started to get angry.
The one thing you had to know about
Crystal is that getting her mad was a
very bad thing, it was when she was
mad that a hidden power inside her
was released... but only when she
was mad. Where she had once lived the
other people hadn't gone anywhere
near her, while she was usually sweet
tempered now and then this power had
been activated.
Now her power was activated she
started showing the outer signs of it, her
hair slowly started to raise as if
by an invisible un noticed wind and then
there was her
eyes, her eyes glowed a red color that could put the fear into
people.
"Bastard," she screamed at
him and she let loose her power, twin bolts of
light sprung from
the palm of her hands crackling with energy and quickly
headed towards the other teen. Even
as those energy bolts left her hands
she ran towards him throwing more,
but even her anger fled at what
happened next.
As she watched jack didn't move and
the energy bolts hit as one like an
angry mob, she held her breath
waiting for the results. The results shocked
her as the dust settled, there jack
stood untouched the sheild almost
invisible a five foot crator
surrounding him.
"Nice," was all he said
and then he looked at her and she gasped, his eyes
were glowing slightly and she felt
her body fly through the air and it banged
and banged against walls
till finally she finally fainted.
The last thing she heard was what
Jack said 'Well that wasn't much of a
challenge,' he said, this jack was
more then he let on.
***
Crytal woke up in the hospital
section of the team rocket building, her
whole body was of pain and bruises.
She groaned when she sat up her
head hurting, with
blurry eyes she looked around to find herself in a private
room.
"Ah good your awake," a
female voice said, an young nurse entered the
room she was very skinny
with light blue hair and purple eyes.
"How long have I been
here?" she asked and she instanly regretted it, her
face hurt even when she talked.
"Oh about a
day, but thats good since it meant that Jack went easy on you
and didn't go all out," the
nurse said, Crysat felt her eyes widen when she
heard that.
"What do you mean?" she
asked, the nurse looked at her and then told
you.
"Jack has very powerful powers,
he is also telepathic and telekinetic and
who knows what other powers.
Ever person he goes against ends up in the
hospital even if he uses like 15% of
his power, he has the name mindwarp
for a reason deary," the nurse
said and Crystal paled, no wonder Jack had
been so amused earlier... the person
she was looking for was him.
"Can you tell me anything
else?" she asked and winced at how much it hurt
to talk, she knew that she
would get back somehow with him.
"Not much is known about him
Mrs Sapphier, the only people who know
anything about his past keep quite
and even Giovanni knows not to tell
anyone about his past... I hear that
his heart was broken and doesn't want
to be connected to his past,"
the nurse said as she looked over Crystals
bruises, thankfully her enhanced
healing abilities were making the bruises
already fade.
"Thanks for the info, anyway i
think i need a nap," Crystal said holding back
a yawn, the friendly nurse
nodded and left leaving her alone.
***
It was a dream she had many time
since she was a small child and it
actually was a memory, it had
happened when she was five years old.
A young child slipped downstairs
knowing that she should still be asleep,
she snuck into her fathers office
and started to go through the papers her
family had always hid from her. With
slim hands she picked her way
through the papers, thankfully she
could read quite well and was quite
intelligent, finally she found what
she wanted and read it.
A few minutes later she silently put
the papers away tears flowing down her
face, she had always known that she
was different yet not this different.
She little Crystal Sapphier was a
test tube baby not related to her parents
in any way, from what she could read
was that she had been made to be a
perfect soldier yet the program had
failed because all the other babies had
died except herself. Her father had
been an employee in the project
making sure they developed right, he
had saved her when they had
planned to kill her.
"Who am i then... I have to
find my real genetic parents to find out," she
whispered, she fled to her room
knowing that it would be a long time till she
could find them.
***
Crystal woke up to someone sitting
beside her on a chair, to her surprise it
was jack and in
his arms was a small white teddy bear.
"I thought that you might be
lonely, but i have to say sorry that you got hurt
because of me," he said and looking
into his eyes she believed him, she
felt herself blush and realized what
was going on... she had a huge crush
on a cute guy who caould easily tear
her apart with his mind alone.
"Thank you,"
she said blushing taking the teddybear from him, she hugged
it to her under her chin feeling its
soft fake fur.
"Were partners after all
Crystal and I want to be more, want to be friends?"
he asked holding out his hand, with
a smile she took his and they shook.
"Friends," she said and
she began to feel her labango go into overdrive,
she just wanted to kiss his face and
hug him.. but at the moment she was in
too much pain.
"If you ever need any help call
me, and I'll be there," he said getting up, with
one last smile he left the room.
'I think I'm in love' crystal
thought blushing heavily, she also had a goofy
smile on her face.
***
Jack smiled as he left the hospital
area, he actually felt bad at hurting the
girl but he had to teach her that
nothing or anyone are as they seem.
'Especially me' he thought, no one
actually saw the true him except the
ledgendary pokemon and pikachu.
"I feel more adventures to come
and even a storm of some type, maby
oneday I will figure these feelings
out," Jack said and then pikachu
appeared, smiling he went on a walk
feeling as if something had just lifted
off his chest.
