Chapter 9 The Imposter Part 2 and Crystal's sickness
"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. "WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO CRYSTAL?????????", Thunder demanded. "Oh, it's nothing. It's just a little hypnosis that my Steelix performed as I said the little, well, spell.", Medium Jasmine said, "Now that she's mine, I can take her back to Giovanni! I'll get payed!" "What do you want with Crystal?", Jen asked. "Huh? Oh, well Giovanni said that this girl you call, Crystal, is a very special girl. She's not like other girls. Crystal is the one who will bring Team Rocket to rule the whole world! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!", Medium Jasmine laughed. "We won't let you take her!", Thunder yelled. "Just try and stop me, little boy.", Medium Jasmine dared. "How about if we battle for her?", Jen suggested. "Not a bad idea. I'll battle you! If you win, you get Crystal. If I win, you leave us and Crystal alone.", Thunder said. Medium Jasmine looked into Thunder's eyes. She could see that he had some kind of e-motions for Crystal. But she couldn't find out why, and what kind of e-motions they were. "Ok, I'll battle you. It's a deal.", Medium Jasmine said, with her same old smirk, "I won't lose, not this time."
"Ok then, 3 Pokemon each. Now, let the battle begin!", Jen said. "Go Ditto!", Medium Jasmine yelled. "Go Quilava!", Thunder yelled. Both Pokemon came out from their Pokeballs, and both ready to fight! "Quilava, hurry and use Flamethrower!", Thunder yelled. "Ditto, before he hits you, use- ", Medium Jasmine was cut off. Quilava's Flamethrower had started. It was a direct hit! Ditto was burnt, and had fainted. Medium Jasmine growled. "Return, Ditto!", she growled. "Go Gastly!" A gas/ghost-type Pokemon came out from the Pokeball, it's tongue stuck right out at Thunder's Quilava. Both Thunder and his Quilava growled at it. "Go Gastly! Use Lick attack to paralize that Quilava!", Medium Jasmine yelled, as Gastly floated straight at Quilava. "Quilava, use Agility.", Thunder whispered. Quilava went straight into action, it ran in zig- zags, using Agility to try and confuse Gastly. Gastly was getting really really dizzy. "Now Quilava! Use Smokescreen!", Thunder yelled. Quilava stopped going around in zig-zags, and in circles, and had let a Smokescreen out from it's mouth. "Quilava use Smog right in Gastly's face, then use Flamethrower.", Thunder whispered to Quilava. Quilava ran to where Gastly was, and it used Smog, right in it's face! Then, it used Flamethrower! It had made the Smog attack catch on fire! Gastly was floating around everywhere in the battlefield, trying to find some water, but it didn't find any! So it fainted. Medium Jasmine growled a bit louder this time. She was sooooooooooo frustrated! "THAT'S IT!!!!!!!! GO GENGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", Medium Jasmine yelled. A bigger Ghost-type Pokemon came out of the Pokeball. It had stuck it's tongue out ot Quilava and Thunder as well as the Gastly had. Thunder and Quilava growled louder this time. They just couldn't lose to this big bag of air. "Gengar, use Shadow Ball!", Medium Jasmine yelled. "Dodge it, then use Agility.", Thunder whispered to Quilava. The Pokemon did as they were told, and attacked. Quilava dodged Gengars Shadow Ball attacks, and used Agility to confuse it, just like with the Gastly. Once again, Gengar was getting dizzy. Quilava used Smog right away on Gengar's face, then used Flamethrower. Just as if it weren't enough, and as if Gengar had taken a Pokemon that Quilava had loved, Quilava used Fire Spin! It had been the knock out of the season! Medium Jasmine was staring in disbelief, that she had lost a match. "Oh-no! Why did I lose? How can I lose? I can't lose to him!!!!! I need that girl!!!", Medium Jasmine said, "No, I won't admit this. I'm taking the girl no matter what!!!!!!!!!!!" She ran over to the dazed Crystal, picked her up easily, and tried to make a run for it. But Thunder's Quilava took aim, it fired an Ember attack right at Medium Jasmine's butt! She had let go of Crystal, put her hands over her butt, and ran for her life!
Thunder snickered. "I knew she wouldn't win! Now I've got Crystal back!", Thunder said, happily. He walked up to the hypnotised Crystal, and snapped his fingers. She woke up! "H-Huh? W-What happened, Thunder? Last thing I remember is Jasmine saying things to get me to not battle her, and her Steelix moving around in a weird circle-", she was cut off, she was trying to get up and walk, but fell right into Thunder's arms. They looked at each other, then Thunder blushed, and Crystal got red. Not blushing red, but fever sick red. "Crystal, are you ok?", Thunder asked, worriedly. "Y-Y-Yeah, I- I'm alright. D-Don't worry about m-me.", Crystal lied. She had to force a smile, but she wasn't ok. She was really sick. "Crystal, I really think you should see a doctor....", Jen suggested. "N-No, I-I'm fine.... l-let's just go f-find the real G-Gym Leader, J-Jasmine.", Crystal lied again. Jen believed her, but Thunder didn't. He knew she was lieing. "Crystal, I don't care what you say, I know your lieing. Your sick, you need a doctor, if you want to get well again, you've got to go to the doctor.", Thunder pleaded. "W-W-Where do you get the idea that I- I-I'm s-sick? I-I'm just f-f-f-fine-", Crystal had cut herself off. She had just past out. And once again, landed in Thunder's arms. "Jen, we need to get her to a doctor right away!", Thunder exclaimed. Thunder had pulled Crystal into his arms, his right hand under Crystal's neck, other hand under her legs. They ran as fast as they could out of the Gym, and ran to the Pokemon Center.
The Nurse Joys, and their Chanseys had taken Crystal into a room for tests. They had been in there for over an hour, before one of the Nurse Joys came out. "Crystal isn't doing very well...", Nurse Joy said, with a sad face and tone. Thunder and Jen looked very upset. Jennifer cryed into the sofa, and Thunder just stood there, trying to hold back the tears. "C-Can I see her?", Thunder asked, he was all choked up. "Well, I'm really not supposed to do this, but since your a good friend of hers, sure.", Nurse Joy said. Jen wanted to stay sobbing on the sofa, so Thunder walked in alone. He saw Crystal, laying there, motionless. He sat down next to her. "I'm so sorry this had happened to you, Crystal. And I wish that I could help you some how...", Thunder said, still trying to keep himself from sobbing. Then, one of Crystal's eyes opened slightly. "C- Crystal?", Thunder asked. "T-T-Thunder, take LiL Tanky out o-of her Pokeball. Tell her to use Milk Drink on me. It may help...", Crystal said, weakly. Just then, the machine on the left of her went in a straight line! He stared at it.... "NURSE JOY!!!!!!!!!!!! CRYSTAL STRAIGHT-LINED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", Thunder yelled, running out of the room, in search for Nurse Joy.
When a Nurse Joy went in to help Crystal, the Nurse came out, with a smile on her face. "Crystal will be just fine. We're giving her special care, and she should come back in about a week or in a couple of days.", Nurse Joy said, happily. Thunder and Jen were happy about that. Thunder went in to see her, then remembered what she told him to do. He grabbed LiL Tanky's Pokeball, and had let her out of her Pokeball. The Purple Miltank looked around in confusion. Why would it's master be in bed? LiL Tanky turned to Thunder. "LiL Tanky, Crystal was going to die. But she told me to let you out, so you can help her. I remember her telling me to tell you to use Milk Drink, but then you'll be in a dieing condition.", Thunder said. Then, an idea hit him. "I got it! I remember her telling me that you were at level 54! And you should know Heal Bell, right?", Thunder asked. LiL Tanky nodded her head. "Great! Then use Heal Bell on Crystal!", Thunder exclaimed. LiL Tanky nodded her head, touched Crystal on the nose, and used Heal Bell. "Ding ding ding ding!", LiL Tanky's tail sounded, as it turned blue and healed Crystal. Crystal winced a bit, then her eyes slowly fluttered open. Thunder smiled. "T-Thunder? W-What happened this time?", Crystal asked. Thunder just hugged her, tears coming down his cheeks. "Oh, Crystal, we were so afraid you'd die. Thank God your Shining Miltank knew Heal Bell.", Thunder said, tears still coming down his cheeks. Crystal looked at LiL Tanky. LiL Tanky winked. Crystal smiled. "Oh Thunder, why would you think I would die? You know I'm special with Pokemon, and LiL Tanky isn't really at level 52, 53, or 54. She's at level 24, and like I said, I've caught special Pokemon. Hehehehe!", Crystal giggled. Thunder gave her a clueless look, but then it changed back to a smile. They hugged once more, the Nurse Joy came in. "What do you think your doing to Crystal? She's unconcious, rememb-", Nurse Joy was cut off, she saw that Crystal was not unconcious. "Oh my, how did you-? What did you-? How did you wake up, and what did you use?" "Well, Thunder had let my LiL Tanky here out of her Pokeball, and she used Heal Bell on me. So I'm back to normal now!", Crystal cheered. Nurse Joy's clueless look changed to a twitching grin. "W-Why didn't I think of that? Hehehehehehe....", Nurse Joy laughed. Then, Jen came running into the room. She cryed happy tears, and hugged her best friends. "Crystal! Thanks so much for living, and Thunder, thanks so much for helping her!", Jen exclaimed, happily. "No problem. I was scared myself, but LiL Tanky was really the hero today.", Thunder said, looking at LiL Tanky. "Miltank! Miltank!", LiL Tanky said, proudly.
Chapter 10 The Mineral Badge, the S.S. Aqua, the new Friend and the Battle
After a couple of days, Nurse Joy had finally let Crystal out of the Pokemon Center. They, once again, walked to Olivine Gym, and found the Real Gym Leader Jasmine, waiting for them. "Thank you so much for getting that imposter away from the Gym. I don't think I could have done anything about it myself. And to thank the 2 of you for beating her, I'll give you the Mineral Badge, but since Crystal here, didn't get to battle, she'll have to battle me.", Gym Leader Jasmine said. Crystal nodded. They got to the arena, and started the match. "Go Steelix!", Leader Jasmine yelled. "Go Rita!", Crystal exclaimed. "Steelix, Iron Tail attack!", Jasmine commanded. "Rita, dodge it, and Flamethrower!", Crystal yelled. Then, Jasmine remembered, Falkner through Morty called her on the phone and told her about Crystal's Pokemon, and their ability to do other type attacks. Rita had gotten to Steelix first, and Steelix was hit! It didn't faint right away, due to Rita's level. Crystal was sure that one more Flamethrower attack should get Steelix to faint. "Steelix, try another Iron Tail attack!", Jasmine yelled. "Rita, dodge it again, and use one more Flamethrower attack!", Crystal yelled. Rita dodged right away, and landed on Steelix's back. Rita then used Flamethrower as a behind-the-back attack! Steelix was beat! It was knocked out, and Crystal won! "Yay! I won! I won! Yay!", Crystal said, as she jumped up and down. She ran down to where Jen and Thunder were waiting. "Congrats, Crystal!", Jen said, as she hugged her best friend. "Thanks so much, Jen!", Crystal said, as she looked at Thunder, with a nice smile. Thunder returned the smile. "Glad to see you didn't get hurt this time, Crystal.", Thunder muttered. Crystal ran over to him and hugged him, however, Thunder blushed and returned the hug. "I guess we can get going after we grab our Mineral Badges! Ha, ha!", Crystal mentioned.
"Excuse me, I hope that I'm not interupting anything.", a boy with a hat of a Pokeball on it said, "Mistress Jasmine, I had just finished my last exam on Steel-type Pokemon, and I got the usual score, 100%. You said that I can leave this little school of your's if I passed, so can I go?" "Well, indeed I said that, so I shall keep my promise. You can go, and why not go along with these trainers? They're really great Pokemon trainers, and I'm sure that you can learn a whole lot from them, Max. So go ahead.", Jasmine said politely. Max turned to Crystal, Thunder, and especially Jen. He smiled. "Do you 3 mind?", Max asked. "Not at all!", Jen blurted out. Crystal and Thunder turned to Jen and sweatdropped. "Thank you, I think we'll be just fine together.", Max said to Jen. Jen blushed with a smile. "You all should take the Mineral Badges now. And Max can just take it for all the times of beating me, hehehe...", Jasmine giggled. The 3 of them grabbed their Mineral Badges, left to the Pokemon Center, then went straight for Cianwood City.
There were a whole lot of people going to Cianwood City, but they could squeeze through them easily. They were looking around and found that there was a battle in progress. Crystal, Thunder, Jen, and Max were wanting to watch the action, and maybe even get into a battle themselfs.
"Raticate, Hi Jump Kick!" yelled an old man. "Onix, don't rock the boat, but softly go down to the ground and use Bind!!" a trainer with a black shirt on yelled, he looked one of the biker trainers. His Onix went to the ground softly, cautious to not rock the boat, it wrapped it's long tail of rocks around the Raticate. Raticate yelled in pain. "Now finish that thing of with Iron Tail!!" the trainer yelled. "Please no, don't!" the old man said. The trainer's Onix slashed it's tail at the Raticate, and the Raticate had swirls in it's eyes. "Hahahahahaha!! Still, no one can beat me!! Come on, is there any other trainers who think they can beat me??" the trainer asked, "If there is a trainer here that can beat me, they get all they want on this boat for free!! I want to keep that deal, but if anyone can beat me, they'll get that deal." "Did that guy just make any sence?" Jen asked with a sweatdrop. "I actually understood that...." Max also said with a sweatdrop. "Hey! I'll battle you!" Crystal exclaimed. She was about to walk towards the trainer, but someone grabbed her hand. She turned to look at the person and found it to be Thunder. "Are you sure you want to do this? I mean, you just got out of the hospital." Thunder said worriedly while looking at Crystal. She smiled. "Don't worry, Thunder. I can do it, I think I should do this so we can all get things for free!" she exclaimed happily. Thunder had let go of Crystal's hand and Crystal walked over to the Trainer. "I'll battle you!" she exclaimed. "A girl?! This'll be easy! Let's start!" he yelled.
They got in their places and the trainer threw a Pokeball. "Go Onix!" he yelled. "Let's go Watery!" Crystal exclaimed. The huge rock snake appeared out of it's Pokeball, then Crystal's Pokeball opened and her Croconaw got in a fighting stance. "Go Onix! Use Iron Tail!" the Trainer yelled. "Watery, use Rage and Water Gun!" Crystal commanded. Both Pokemon obeyed their Trainers, Onix aimed it's tail at Croconaw and lashed at it, but Croconaw dodged it and used a HARD Water Gun attack! "Awesome! Now use Scratch attack!" Crystal yelled happily. Croconaw lashed at the Onix and started scratching at it's eyes. "OOOONNNN!!!!!!" the Onix yelled in pain. It fell to the floor slowly and had swirls in it's eyes. The Trainer gasped. "I don't believe it! My unstoppable Onix has been stopped!" the Trainer said with a tone of dissapointment in his voice, "Nice try, Onix, Return."
Thunder, Jen and Max ran to Crystal, all cheering. "Yay! I did it! We get free food!! Yay!!!!!!!" Crystal and Jen cheered. The trainer walked over to Crystal. "I hope you know that I was takein' it easy on you......" the trainer said with a blush, "I'm Rick, what's your name?" Crystal turned to Rick and smiled. "I'm Crystal, nice to meet you." Crystal said, still smiling. Rick blushed darker red. "Um, can I ask you somethin'?" Rick asked. "Hm? Sure, what is it?" she asked. "D-Do you have a boyfriend?!" Rick exclaimed, getting down on his knees, grabbing hold of Crystal's hands. Crystal went wide-eyed, she was stunned. Thunder was furious, he stormed over to Rick and grabbed him by the collar. "YOU STAY THE HECK AWAY FROM HER!!!!" Thunder yelled at Rick, gritting his teeth. Crystal was clueless of why Thunder was doing this. "Whoa! Chill Man, Chill!" Rick exclaimed cowardly. "Thunder, why are you doing this?! Put him down..." a small voice said behind Thunder. He turned and saw Crystal, her eyes were those puppy dog eyes that he just couldn't resist. He calmed down and put Rick down. Rick was so scared that he ran away from them. Crystal walked over to Thunder, the shadows of her bangs over her eyes (In other words, you can't see her eyes). "Why did you do that?" she asked, still her eyes would not show. Thunder looked at her, he started to sweat. "I don't know myself ..... I couldn't control myself..... I'm sorry, Crystal....." Thunder said, still sweating and hoping that she wasn't mad. "You know, I don't even know why I let you come along on this journey...... You're not much of a friend......" Crystal said with a smirk. Thunder stepped back, his face had been struck with terror. This couldn't be Crystal talking, she would never talk like that. "You know, I don't want you comin' along anymore.... Go out on your own like the Loner you are .........." Crystal said with the very same smirk and in a cold, bitter voice. Thunder was heart broken, his one true love was saying things that he had never thought she would say. He just stood there, staring at her. Jen grabbed hold of Crystal hand. "Crystal what are you doing?! I know that you don't mean what you're saying!!" Jen yelled. Crystal's eyes still did not show, and she did not answer. "ANSWER ME!!!! WHY ARE YOU TELLING THUNDER TO LEAVE?!?!?!?!?!?" Jen yelled furiously. Crystal just smirked and threw Jen off of her arm. Crystal jumpped up to a bar on the ship where everybody was watching her. "May I introduce.... TEAM ROCKET!!!!" Crystal yelled at everyone. Her clothes changed to a black dress with pink and white linings, and her shoes changed to white boots. Her hair didn't change, but her hat had an R on it. She finally showed her eyes, they weren't the sparkling, beautiful blue eyes that Thunder had always remembered. Now, her eyes were icey, cold blue. (More like AQUA BLUE!!!) at every corner of the ship, a Rocket Grunt came out, all carrying a whip to whip Trainers into giving them their Pokemon. "Come one, come all! Join Team Rocket and your Pokemon won't be stolen from ya! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!" Crystal laughed. Thunder couldn't move, he was still stunned, he fell to his knees, he looked to the ground, his face had an e- motion that very few people would know of. Jen was going to run, but then Thunder caught her eye. His eyes were almost turning blank! What if Team Rocket was trying to get him, too! "Thunder!! That wasn't Crystal talking!! She Was Being Controlled By Team Rocket!!" Jen yelled. Thunder's eyes didn't go blank, only tears appeared in his eyes. "But Jen... It hurts...." he replied. Jen looked at him thoughtfully, but then Max got by her. "Go!! Jen, get away from here!! Take this!! It's my Lapras, take it outside and wait for me and Thunder!!" Max yelled, handing Jen a pokeball. Jen nodded and went out to the outside of the boat. She released Max's Lapras and her Lapras, and she was waiting on her Lapras for Max and Thunder.
Max watched Jen leave, then in all the commotion, Max turned back to Thunder. Team Rocket members were circling Thunder, they all had whips with them. Thunder just ignored them and continued to to cry. His tears fell to the floor like a soft rain, the Rocket Grunts were smirking at him, getting their whips ready to whip him.
Just then, Crystal jumped from the ceiling, and landed in front of Thunder. Her hands were on her hips. "Get up, Loner!!" she yelled. Thunder's body didn't move, but his mind said 'Move!! Please!!'. All he could do was look up at Rocket Crystal. "Didn't You Hear Me?! GET UP!!" Crystal yelled in anger, kicking Thunder's arm. No, this wasn't the Crystal he loved! He had to fight her and get the old Crystal back!! He got up finally, the Rockets walked away since Crystal was taking control. Thunder walked backwards from Crystal a few steps, and yelled, "I Challenge You To A Pokemon Battle!!" Crystal smirked. "Ok, I accept!" she yelled. "If I win, you turn back to the old Crystal!! If you win.... You get me...." Thunder yelled in a lower voice. "NO!!" a boy's voice yelled from behind Thunder. Thunder looked back to see it was Max. "Don't Fight Her!! We've Got To Get Out Of Here!! Plus, I've Already Lost One New Friend!! I Don't Want To Lose Another One!!" Max yelled, he was a few yards away from Thunder. "I'm Sorry, Max!! But I HAVE To Do This!!" Thunder yelled back to Max.
"Alright, begin!!" Crystal yelled. "Go Quilava!!" Thunder exclaimed, throwing Quilava's pokeball. "Go Chikorita!!" Crystal yelled. "Quilava, use Quick Attack!!" Thunder yelled. "Chikorita, use Flamethrower!!" Crystal commanded to her Chikorita. As Quilava neared them quickly, Chikorita finally fired her Flamethrower attack. It missed every time since Quilava was using Quick Attack. Quilava was finally close enough and it tackled Chikorita head on! Chikorita went flying back into the wall! One more blow would surely asure victory for Thunder. "Good Job, Quilava! Now use Fire Spin!!" Thunder commanded to Quilava. Quilava neared Chikorita again, it got its Fire Spin attack ready. This was the perfect time to attack! "Chikorita, quick!! Use Tackle!!" Crystal yelled. Chikorita nodded and tackled Quilava! Fortunately, Quilava was still able to get the Fire Spin attack ready. And after about five more seconds, the attack was ready! It fired it straight at Chikorita! All the Rockets on the boat got caught in the attack! All the Rockets went flying out of the ship, leaving a very weak Chikorita and a very stunned Rocket Crystal. "I-I can't believe it.... I lost... To him...." Crystal whispered to herself. Thunder walked over to her with a smile. "Remember your promise?" he asked, still smiling. Crystal looked up at him, she smiled and nodded. "Yeah... And since I lost, I guess I gotta give up this body.... Well, see ya later..." Crystal said was a smile. She started to glow aqua blue, then she glowed purple. When she stopped glowing, she collapsed into Thunder's arms. He looked down at her, smiling. He put his left hand under her legs (NOT WHERE YOU THINK, PEOPLE!!), and his other hand under her head. He walked over to Max, and the Thunder and Max walked to the Lapras.
"Finally!! I've been waiting for like, FOREVER!!" Jen exclaimed, "Besides, what happened in there?" Max and Thunder looked at each other and Thunder shook his head. "Life, that's what happened..." he answered as he looked up at where they were going. He could see land up ahead, and he looked down at the sleeping angel in his arms. He smiled down at Crystal and looked back up at the land up ahead.
Chapter 11 Control Over Thunder and The Storm Badge
It was a nice day out, Crystal was still unconcious, and the rest of the gang was worried about her, and hoping that they'd get to land soon. They had made it to land in about five minutes earlier than they thought they would. Thunder stood up, he picked Crystal up as Jen and Max returned their Lapras to their pokeballs. "Hey Thunder!! Is Crystal gonna be ok?" Max asked in a yell as he ran back over to Thunder with Jen. "I think so.... She's a special girl, she was close to dieing in Olivine City, but she made it through.... I think she'll be ok." Thunder answered, he looked down to Crystal once more, then he and the rest of the gang went looking around for a Pokemon Center.
After ten minutes, there was a moaning sound coming from Thunder's arms. Thunder, Max and Jen looked at Crystal and saw he eyes moving under her eyelids a bit. They all gasped with joy, she was coming to! "Crystal! Crystal, wake up!!" Thunder exclaimed happily. Crystal continued to wince for one more minute, then her eye opened. Her beautiful blueish-green-ish eyes glimered as they opened. The whole gang smiled happily as Thunder put Crystal down. "W-What just happened?" Crystal asked, looking to Thunder. "Team Rocket took over your body on the S.S. Aqua, but don't worry. You're back now!" Thunder answered with a wink. Crystal blushed at that wink, and said, "Again? Why are they always after me...." "Thunder said you were a VERY special girl... Heh, I think I know where he got that...." Max responded with a weird look and grin. Thunder and Crystal looked at Max and blushed. "Oh heck, let's just go to the Gym...." Crystal responded, blushing. She grabbed Thunder's hand and ran off to find the Cianwood Gym. "HEY!! WAIT FOR US!!!" Jen yelled, grabbing Max's whole arm and running off to follow them.
It took a while, but they all finally found the Gym. They knocked on the Gym door, the door swung open, an old man stood there with a Machoke. "Let me guess, you all must have came for a badge, right?" the old man asked with a firm look. Crystal and Jen let gos of the boys, all four of them nodded. "Ok, who will be my first opponent?" the old man asked, "By the way, I'm the Cianwood City Gym Leader, Chuck. We battle in here, follow me." Crystal, Thunder, Jen and Max followed Chuck into the Gym.
They all walked to a battle arena, Chuck walked to the other side and asked once more, "Who will be my first challenger?" Jen stepped forth and exclaimed, "I will!" Jen walked to her side of the arena and got ready. "Get ready...." Chuck whispered to himself. "Let The Battle Begin!!" the referee exclaimed as he held both flags up. "Go Machoke!!" Chuck yelled as his Machoke ran into the arena. "Go Lappy!" Jen yelled as she threw a pokeball. Her Lapras popped out with a cry of happiness. It hadn't battled for a LONG while. "Machoke, use Karate Chop!!" Chuck yelled. Machoke ran towards Lapras, getting its hands ready to start attacking. "Lappy!! Use Ice Beam!!" Jen commanded quickly. Lapras moved out of Machoke's way. Machoke went running into the wall with a loud THUMP! He had a bump on its nose, Jen and Lappy laughed. Lappy finally stopped laughing and used Ice Beam on Machoke. Machoke was stuck in a block of ice! The referee went to Chuck's side and looked at Machoke. "Machoke is unable to fight! The winner is Jen!" the referee exclaimed. Jen jumped up and down several times, then she walked over to Chuck. "You fought well, now to prove you've won at this Gym, I present you with the Storm Badge!" Chuck said as he handed Jen the Storm Badge. "Thanks!!" she exclaimed happily. She skipped back over to Max and the others. Chuck got out some Ice Heal and got rid of the ice that imprisoned his Machoke. "Who's next?" Chuck asked, looking over at the gang again. "I am!!" Thunder yelled.
Thunder walked over to his side of the arena, and got ready to battle. "Let The Match For The Storm Badge Begin!!" the referee exclaimed, raising both flags again. "Here we go again, Machoke!!" Chuck yelled as Machoke got in a fighting stance. "Go Sudowoodo!!" Thunder exclaimed as he threw a Great Ball. His Sudowoodo jumped out, ready to battle. " A Sudowoodo?!" Chuck chuckled, "This'll be interesting! Use Karate Chop!!" Machoke ran towards Sudowoodo, once agian getting ready to attack. "This again? Well, whatever. Use Low Kick!!" Thunder commanded. Sudowoodo got out of Machoke's reach and it launched a Low Kick at Machoke's feet! ! Machoke's eyes went HUGE with pain! It started running around, trying not to hurt its legs! Thunder and Sudowoodo laughed out loud. "Ok, Sudowoodo! Use Slam!" Thunder exclaimed, still laughing a bit. Sudowoodo stopped laughing so hard and narrowed it down to a low chuckle. It went running towards Machoke and slamed HARD into it! Machoke's eyes went even BIGGER! "Oh! That's GOTTA hurt!!" Max reacted to the scene. "Come on, Sudowoodo!! Kill it!!" Thunder commanded, his eyes were turning from dark green to maroon red! Sudowoodo nodded as it's eyes atarted to turn maroon red as well, it launched another Slam attack at Machoke. Machoke was starting to cry, it had NEVER felt pain like this before! Chuck was to stunned to move! He was so helpless! "Ma-Machoke!!" he exclaimed, almost starting to cry himself. Jen gasped out loud. Crystal screamed in fear, this wasn't the Thunder she knew!
Thunder heard a girl scream behind him, he turned around to see Crystal. Her eyes wide with fright, her mouth hung open. He smirked as his Sudowoodo continued to try and kill Machoke. "Yo, Thunder!! This Ain't Like Ya At All!! Why Are Ya Doin' This?!" Max yelled at Thunder. Thunder didn't answer, he just kept on smirking as he watched Sudowoodo kill Machoke. "Thunder!!" a girls voice yelled from behind him. Thunder looked behind him again, it was Crystal again. She looked like she was going to cry. He started to get a bad headache, he held onto his head. That wasn't Thunder!! He would never kill any Pokemon!! He's to respectful, and he would NEVER do anything to upset Crystal enough to make her cry! "AAAAARRRGGGGHHH!!!!" he yelled out in pain, he was struggling to take control of his body again, but he was to weak! This presence that controled his body now was much to powerful! Thunder stopped holding his head, his maroon red eyes stood still, looking at Crystal.
He smirked again, and turned back to the battle. "Thunder!! This isn't like you!! Why are you killing a Gym Leader's Pokemon?! Thunder!!" Crystal exclaimed, tears coming down her cheeks like a river of sadness. Thunder chuckled evily and responded, "Thunder is no longer here, Little Jewel.... Team Magma's taken him over! MUAHAHAHA!!" Crystal took a step back, her eyes wide with fright, tears still rolled down her cheeks. "T-Team Magma?" she asked, still looking at Thunder. Her eyes began to blur with the water of her tears, she tried to stay looking at Thunder correctly. She tried to walk towards Thunder, but someone grabbed her hand. She turned around to see it was Max. "Don't go to him!! I've heard of Team Magma!! They're supposed to only be in the Houen Region, not in the region of Johto!! I guess some of them managed to get here...." Max told Crystal and Jen. "Team Magma? I've never heard of them... What are they?" Jen asked, looking at Max. "They are much like Team Rocket, but more devious and murderous!! They would do ANYTHING to get what they want!!" Max answered, looking back at Thunder, "And right now, they've taken control on Thunder's body...." Crystal looked back to Thunder, he was smirking as he watched Machoke die slowly. Max thought that he had knocked some sense into Crystal, but when he let go of her hand, she went running to Thunder. "Wait!! Crystal, no!!" Max yelled.
Thunder has heard Max's cry that Crystal not go somewhere. He wanted to know what she was going to do, so he turned around and saw her running towards him. "Huh?! What the he-" Thunder started, Crystal had made it over to him and started kissing him on the lips before he could finish his sentence. Thunder was much to surprised to take this! His maroon red eyes turned back to their normal dark green again. He nearly fell over, but he kept his balance and figured out what Crystal was doing. He blushed to himself and kissed back.
When Crystal noticed he was kissing back, she blushed bright pink and broke the kiss. She looked at Thunder, seeing his no longer red eyes. "Thunder? Is it you?" she asked, scared of what might have become of him this time. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm back to my old self...." Thunder answered with a smile. "Oh, Thunder!" Crystal exclaimed, her eyes were filled with tears of happiness, she hugged him. He blushed, but you couldn't see it.
She suddenly let go of him and looked at Chuck. He was crying, he was sitting by his dead Machoke. "NOOOO!!!!!!" Chuck yelled in pain. Thunder and Crystal walked over to him, Thunder had a sweatdrops over his head. "Um.... C-Can I have my Storm Badge?" he asked, his hand behind his head, and the sweatdrops went down three centimeters. Chuck was still crying, but he looked up at Thunder and handed him the badge quickly. Thunder smiled and walked back to Jen and Max. "Um..... Can we battle now? Do you have any other Pokemon?" Crystal asked, a sweatdrops over her head now. "Yes... As a matter of fact, I do! Let's get the battle started!" Chuck exclaimed, getting back in his spot at the arena. Crystal did the same, but at her side.
"Go Machamp!!" Chuck yelled, throwing a pokeball. A bigger version on Machoke popped out of the pokeball. It had four extra arms!! Crystal was freaking out, that Pokemon REALLY looked weird!! "Um... Ok, a Machamp..... Um.... Go.... Watery!" Crystal yelled as she threw Watery's pokeball into the arena. Her perky little Croconaw popped out, jumping up and down, then it stopped and glared at Machamp. Machamp took a step back, and the referee yelled, "Let The Match Begin!!" "Cross Chop!!" Chuck yelled, his Machamp went running towards Croconaw, waving all of its arms around like a Karate Chop, but harder!! "WHAT?! CROSS CHOP!? Watery, Get Out Of The Way!!! Use Water Gun!!" Crystal yelled at the top of her lungs. Croconaw had a hard time getting out of the way, but she managed to dodge it. She jumpped over Machamp's head and launched a Strong Water Gun attack down at it's head! Machamp went straight into the ground! But he got out of the hole he made and got ready for another Cross Chop! "Oh-no!! Watery, use Rage and Water Gun!!" Crystal exclaimed, hoping that Chuck wasn't trying to kill Her Pokemon!! Croconaw jumped out of the way once again and turned all red, she was getting mad!! She ran at Machamp from behind, and launched an even Harder Water Gun attack! This one knocked Machamp to the ground, then into the wall! Machamp had anime swirls in its eyes, the referee checked to see if it could still fight. "Machamp is unable to fight, the match and the Storm badge gos to Crystal!" the referee exclaimed as he raised the flag in his left hand to Crystal's side.
Crystal jumped up and down at this victory, she had beaten her most least favorite Fighting attack! When she ran over to Watery to give her a hug, she glowed bright white. Crystal took a step back, she was smiling happily. When the light died out, Watery the Croconaw didn't stand there. Instead, there stood a Feraligatr, smiling happily. Crystal gasped with a smile, she hugged her new Feraligatr, and it hugged back also. "I can't believe it! Watery! You're a Feraligatr! Oh My God!" Crystal exclaimed happily. Thunder, Jen and Max ran over to Crystal and her Feraligatr, all smiling. "Congrats, Crystal! You've got a Feraligatr! You're much better than me in Pokemon training.... Lynda's still a Charmander...." Jen said to Crystal with a sweatdrop. "You just need to get in battles and train it more ..." Crystal responded, smiling. Thunder walked up to Crystal, blushing. "Um..... Congrats..... And.... Um.... Thanks for getting that Magma Grunt out of my body....." Thunder thanked, still blushing. Crystal let go of Watery the Feraligatr. She put her hand behind her head and blushed as she said, "Well, you're welcome. But you're the one who saved me a whole bunch of times before, remember?" "Oh yeah, I forgot...." Thunder answered, "But, when you were being controled by Team Rocket on the S.S. Aqua.... W-Was it true? Do you really not want me traveling with you anymore?" Crystal looked at Thunder, she had the smile that he loved to see. "Of course not, Thunder!! I don't want you to leave the group!! That Rocket Grunt probably wanted you, too!!" Crystal answered, looking at him straight in the eyes. His frown turned into a smile. "Thank Goodness! Cause, I really don't know what it would be like without you, Crystal." Thunder responded with his smile. Crystal thought the exact same thing. She wouldn't even last one day away from Thunder!
Chuck was trying to sneak out before Crystal knew he didn't give her the badge, but when Thunder caught Chuck at the corner of his eye, he went running! Thunder was right behind Chuck. "Going somewhere?" Thunder asked with a serious look. Chuck yelled cause he knew it was Thunder. "Ok!! Ok, Ok!! Fine!! I'll Give The Badge!!" Chuck yelled, he took a badge from his pocket and handed it to Thunder, "What Do I Care?! Give It To Your Girlfriend!! I'm Out Of Here!!" With that, Chuck ran out of the Gym to get away from Thunder.
Thunder walked back over to Crystal. "Chuck forgot to give this to you..." Thunder said as he handed Crystal the badge. "Thanks Thunder! Well, we should be heading to Mahgany Town, right? There's a short cut through Ecruteak City, I think...." Crystal exclaimed happily. Jen turned to Crystal, grinning. "Wow, you sure know where the cities are, don't you?" Jen talked, still grinning. "Heheh! I've been studying your maps! Sorry!" Crystal confessed, sweatdroping and turning a little bit red. "It's quite alright, you know you can use any of my stuff anytime! Just, ask me before you use my Pokemon, ok?" Jen responded laughing with a smile. Crystal laughed. "Heh! That's for sure!" Crystal said as she laughed. That was the last thing that happened before they started their journey to Mahogany Town.

Chapter 9 The Imposter Part 2 and Crystal's sickness
"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. "WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO CRYSTAL?????????", Thunder demanded. "Oh, it's nothing. It's just a little hypnosis that my Steelix performed as I said the little, well, spell.", Medium Jasmine said, "Now that she's mine, I can take her back to Giovanni! I'll get payed!" "What do you want with Crystal?", Jen asked. "Huh? Oh, well Giovanni said that this girl you call, Crystal, is a very special girl. She's not like other girls. Crystal is the one who will bring Team Rocket to rule the whole world! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!", Medium Jasmine laughed. "We won't let you take her!", Thunder yelled. "Just try and stop me, little boy.", Medium Jasmine dared. "How about if we battle for her?", Jen suggested. "Not a bad idea. I'll battle you! If you win, you get Crystal. If I win, you leave us and Crystal alone.", Thunder said. Medium Jasmine looked into Thunder's eyes. She could see that he had some kind of e-motions for Crystal. But she couldn't find out why, and what kind of e-motions they were. "Ok, I'll battle you. It's a deal.", Medium Jasmine said, with her same old smirk, "I won't lose, not this time."
"Ok then, 3 Pokemon each. Now, let the battle begin!", Jen said. "Go Ditto!", Medium Jasmine yelled. "Go Quilava!", Thunder yelled. Both Pokemon came out from their Pokeballs, and both ready to fight! "Quilava, hurry and use Flamethrower!", Thunder yelled. "Ditto, before he hits you, use- ", Medium Jasmine was cut off. Quilava's Flamethrower had started. It was a direct hit! Ditto was burnt, and had fainted. Medium Jasmine growled. "Return, Ditto!", she growled. "Go Gastly!" A gas/ghost-type Pokemon came out from the Pokeball, it's tongue stuck right out at Thunder's Quilava. Both Thunder and his Quilava growled at it. "Go Gastly! Use Lick attack to paralize that Quilava!", Medium Jasmine yelled, as Gastly floated straight at Quilava. "Quilava, use Agility.", Thunder whispered. Quilava went straight into action, it ran in zig- zags, using Agility to try and confuse Gastly. Gastly was getting really really dizzy. "Now Quilava! Use Smokescreen!", Thunder yelled. Quilava stopped going around in zig-zags, and in circles, and had let a Smokescreen out from it's mouth. "Quilava use Smog right in Gastly's face, then use Flamethrower.", Thunder whispered to Quilava. Quilava ran to where Gastly was, and it used Smog, right in it's face! Then, it used Flamethrower! It had made the Smog attack catch on fire! Gastly was floating around everywhere in the battlefield, trying to find some water, but it didn't find any! So it fainted. Medium Jasmine growled a bit louder this time. She was sooooooooooo frustrated! "THAT'S IT!!!!!!!! GO GENGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", Medium Jasmine yelled. A bigger Ghost-type Pokemon came out of the Pokeball. It had stuck it's tongue out ot Quilava and Thunder as well as the Gastly had. Thunder and Quilava growled louder this time. They just couldn't lose to this big bag of air. "Gengar, use Shadow Ball!", Medium Jasmine yelled. "Dodge it, then use Agility.", Thunder whispered to Quilava. The Pokemon did as they were told, and attacked. Quilava dodged Gengars Shadow Ball attacks, and used Agility to confuse it, just like with the Gastly. Once again, Gengar was getting dizzy. Quilava used Smog right away on Gengar's face, then used Flamethrower. Just as if it weren't enough, and as if Gengar had taken a Pokemon that Quilava had loved, Quilava used Fire Spin! It had been the knock out of the season! Medium Jasmine was staring in disbelief, that she had lost a match. "Oh-no! Why did I lose? How can I lose? I can't lose to him!!!!! I need that girl!!!", Medium Jasmine said, "No, I won't admit this. I'm taking the girl no matter what!!!!!!!!!!!" She ran over to the dazed Crystal, picked her up easily, and tried to make a run for it. But Thunder's Quilava took aim, it fired an Ember attack right at Medium Jasmine's butt! She had let go of Crystal, put her hands over her butt, and ran for her life!
Thunder snickered. "I knew she wouldn't win! Now I've got Crystal back!", Thunder said, happily. He walked up to the hypnotised Crystal, and snapped his fingers. She woke up! "H-Huh? W-What happened, Thunder? Last thing I remember is Jasmine saying things to get me to not battle her, and her Steelix moving around in a weird circle-", she was cut off, she was trying to get up and walk, but fell right into Thunder's arms. They looked at each other, then Thunder blushed, and Crystal got red. Not blushing red, but fever sick red. "Crystal, are you ok?", Thunder asked, worriedly. "Y-Y-Yeah, I- I'm alright. D-Don't worry about m-me.", Crystal lied. She had to force a smile, but she wasn't ok. She was really sick. "Crystal, I really think you should see a doctor....", Jen suggested. "N-No, I-I'm fine.... l-let's just go f-find the real G-Gym Leader, J-Jasmine.", Crystal lied again. Jen believed her, but Thunder didn't. He knew she was lieing. "Crystal, I don't care what you say, I know your lieing. Your sick, you need a doctor, if you want to get well again, you've got to go to the doctor.", Thunder pleaded. "W-W-Where do you get the idea that I- I-I'm s-sick? I-I'm just f-f-f-fine-", Crystal had cut herself off. She had just past out. And once again, landed in Thunder's arms. "Jen, we need to get her to a doctor right away!", Thunder exclaimed. Thunder had pulled Crystal into his arms, his right hand under Crystal's neck, other hand under her legs. They ran as fast as they could out of the Gym, and ran to the Pokemon Center.
The Nurse Joys, and their Chanseys had taken Crystal into a room for tests. They had been in there for over an hour, before one of the Nurse Joys came out. "Crystal isn't doing very well...", Nurse Joy said, with a sad face and tone. Thunder and Jen looked very upset. Jennifer cryed into the sofa, and Thunder just stood there, trying to hold back the tears. "C-Can I see her?", Thunder asked, he was all choked up. "Well, I'm really not supposed to do this, but since your a good friend of hers, sure.", Nurse Joy said. Jen wanted to stay sobbing on the sofa, so Thunder walked in alone. He saw Crystal, laying there, motionless. He sat down next to her. "I'm so sorry this had happened to you, Crystal. And I wish that I could help you some how...", Thunder said, still trying to keep himself from sobbing. Then, one of Crystal's eyes opened slightly. "C- Crystal?", Thunder asked. "T-T-Thunder, take LiL Tanky out o-of her Pokeball. Tell her to use Milk Drink on me. It may help...", Crystal said, weakly. Just then, the machine on the left of her went in a straight line! He stared at it.... "NURSE JOY!!!!!!!!!!!! CRYSTAL STRAIGHT-LINED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", Thunder yelled, running out of the room, in search for Nurse Joy.
When a Nurse Joy went in to help Crystal, the Nurse came out, with a smile on her face. "Crystal will be just fine. We're giving her special care, and she should come back in about a week or in a couple of days.", Nurse Joy said, happily. Thunder and Jen were happy about that. Thunder went in to see her, then remembered what she told him to do. He grabbed LiL Tanky's Pokeball, and had let her out of her Pokeball. The Purple Miltank looked around in confusion. Why would it's master be in bed? LiL Tanky turned to Thunder. "LiL Tanky, Crystal was going to die. But she told me to let you out, so you can help her. I remember her telling me to tell you to use Milk Drink, but then you'll be in a dieing condition.", Thunder said. Then, an idea hit him. "I got it! I remember her telling me that you were at level 54! And you should know Heal Bell, right?", Thunder asked. LiL Tanky nodded her head. "Great! Then use Heal Bell on Crystal!", Thunder exclaimed. LiL Tanky nodded her head, touched Crystal on the nose, and used Heal Bell. "Ding ding ding ding!", LiL Tanky's tail sounded, as it turned blue and healed Crystal. Crystal winced a bit, then her eyes slowly fluttered open. Thunder smiled. "T-Thunder? W-What happened this time?", Crystal asked. Thunder just hugged her, tears coming down his cheeks. "Oh, Crystal, we were so afraid you'd die. Thank God your Shining Miltank knew Heal Bell.", Thunder said, tears still coming down his cheeks. Crystal looked at LiL Tanky. LiL Tanky winked. Crystal smiled. "Oh Thunder, why would you think I would die? You know I'm special with Pokemon, and LiL Tanky isn't really at level 52, 53, or 54. She's at level 24, and like I said, I've caught special Pokemon. Hehehehe!", Crystal giggled. Thunder gave her a clueless look, but then it changed back to a smile. They hugged once more, the Nurse Joy came in. "What do you think your doing to Crystal? She's unconcious, rememb-", Nurse Joy was cut off, she saw that Crystal was not unconcious. "Oh my, how did you-? What did you-? How did you wake up, and what did you use?" "Well, Thunder had let my LiL Tanky here out of her Pokeball, and she used Heal Bell on me. So I'm back to normal now!", Crystal cheered. Nurse Joy's clueless look changed to a twitching grin. "W-Why didn't I think of that? Hehehehehehe....", Nurse Joy laughed. Then, Jen came running into the room. She cryed happy tears, and hugged her best friends. "Crystal! Thanks so much for living, and Thunder, thanks so much for helping her!", Jen exclaimed, happily. "No problem. I was scared myself, but LiL Tanky was really the hero today.", Thunder said, looking at LiL Tanky. "Miltank! Miltank!", LiL Tanky said, proudly.
Chapter 10 The Mineral Badge, the S.S. Aqua, the new Friend and the Battle
After a couple of days, Nurse Joy had finally let Crystal out of the Pokemon Center. They, once again, walked to Olivine Gym, and found the Real Gym Leader Jasmine, waiting for them. "Thank you so much for getting that imposter away from the Gym. I don't think I could have done anything about it myself. And to thank the 2 of you for beating her, I'll give you the Mineral Badge, but since Crystal here, didn't get to battle, she'll have to battle me.", Gym Leader Jasmine said. Crystal nodded. They got to the arena, and started the match. "Go Steelix!", Leader Jasmine yelled. "Go Rita!", Crystal exclaimed. "Steelix, Iron Tail attack!", Jasmine commanded. "Rita, dodge it, and Flamethrower!", Crystal yelled. Then, Jasmine remembered, Falkner through Morty called her on the phone and told her about Crystal's Pokemon, and their ability to do other type attacks. Rita had gotten to Steelix first, and Steelix was hit! It didn't faint right away, due to Rita's level. Crystal was sure that one more Flamethrower attack should get Steelix to faint. "Steelix, try another Iron Tail attack!", Jasmine yelled. "Rita, dodge it again, and use one more Flamethrower attack!", Crystal yelled. Rita dodged right away, and landed on Steelix's back. Rita then used Flamethrower as a behind-the-back attack! Steelix was beat! It was knocked out, and Crystal won! "Yay! I won! I won! Yay!", Crystal said, as she jumped up and down. She ran down to where Jen and Thunder were waiting. "Congrats, Crystal!", Jen said, as she hugged her best friend. "Thanks so much, Jen!", Crystal said, as she looked at Thunder, with a nice smile. Thunder returned the smile. "Glad to see you didn't get hurt this time, Crystal.", Thunder muttered. Crystal ran over to him and hugged him, however, Thunder blushed and returned the hug. "I guess we can get going after we grab our Mineral Badges! Ha, ha!", Crystal mentioned.
"Excuse me, I hope that I'm not interupting anything.", a boy with a hat of a Pokeball on it said, "Mistress Jasmine, I had just finished my last exam on Steel-type Pokemon, and I got the usual score, 100%. You said that I can leave this little school of your's if I passed, so can I go?" "Well, indeed I said that, so I shall keep my promise. You can go, and why not go along with these trainers? They're really great Pokemon trainers, and I'm sure that you can learn a whole lot from them, Max. So go ahead.", Jasmine said politely. Max turned to Crystal, Thunder, and especially Jen. He smiled. "Do you 3 mind?", Max asked. "Not at all!", Jen blurted out. Crystal and Thunder turned to Jen and sweatdropped. "Thank you, I think we'll be just fine together.", Max said to Jen. Jen blushed with a smile. "You all should take the Mineral Badges now. And Max can just take it for all the times of beating me, hehehe...", Jasmine giggled. The 3 of them grabbed their Mineral Badges, left to the Pokemon Center, then went straight for Cianwood City.
There were a whole lot of people going to Cianwood City, but they could squeeze through them easily. They were looking around and found that there was a battle in progress. Crystal, Thunder, Jen, and Max were wanting to watch the action, and maybe even get into a battle themselfs.
"Raticate, Hi Jump Kick!" yelled an old man. "Onix, don't rock the boat, but softly go down to the ground and use Bind!!" a trainer with a black shirt on yelled, he looked one of the biker trainers. His Onix went to the ground softly, cautious to not rock the boat, it wrapped it's long tail of rocks around the Raticate. Raticate yelled in pain. "Now finish that thing of with Iron Tail!!" the trainer yelled. "Please no, don't!" the old man said. The trainer's Onix slashed it's tail at the Raticate, and the Raticate had swirls in it's eyes. "Hahahahahaha!! Still, no one can beat me!! Come on, is there any other trainers who think they can beat me??" the trainer asked, "If there is a trainer here that can beat me, they get all they want on this boat for free!! I want to keep that deal, but if anyone can beat me, they'll get that deal." "Did that guy just make any sence?" Jen asked with a sweatdrop. "I actually understood that...." Max also said with a sweatdrop. "Hey! I'll battle you!" Crystal exclaimed. She was about to walk towards the trainer, but someone grabbed her hand. She turned to look at the person and found it to be Thunder. "Are you sure you want to do this? I mean, you just got out of the hospital." Thunder said worriedly while looking at Crystal. She smiled. "Don't worry, Thunder. I can do it, I think I should do this so we can all get things for free!" she exclaimed happily. Thunder had let go of Crystal's hand and Crystal walked over to the Trainer. "I'll battle you!" she exclaimed. "A girl?! This'll be easy! Let's start!" he yelled.
They got in their places and the trainer threw a Pokeball. "Go Onix!" he yelled. "Let's go Watery!" Crystal exclaimed. The huge rock snake appeared out of it's Pokeball, then Crystal's Pokeball opened and her Croconaw got in a fighting stance. "Go Onix! Use Iron Tail!" the Trainer yelled. "Watery, use Rage and Water Gun!" Crystal commanded. Both Pokemon obeyed their Trainers, Onix aimed it's tail at Croconaw and lashed at it, but Croconaw dodged it and used a HARD Water Gun attack! "Awesome! Now use Scratch attack!" Crystal yelled happily. Croconaw lashed at the Onix and started scratching at it's eyes. "OOOONNNN!!!!!!" the Onix yelled in pain. It fell to the floor slowly and had swirls in it's eyes. The Trainer gasped. "I don't believe it! My unstoppable Onix has been stopped!" the Trainer said with a tone of dissapointment in his voice, "Nice try, Onix, Return."
Thunder, Jen and Max ran to Crystal, all cheering. "Yay! I did it! We get free food!! Yay!!!!!!!" Crystal and Jen cheered. The trainer walked over to Crystal. "I hope you know that I was takein' it easy on you......" the trainer said with a blush, "I'm Rick, what's your name?" Crystal turned to Rick and smiled. "I'm Crystal, nice to meet you." Crystal said, still smiling. Rick blushed darker red. "Um, can I ask you somethin'?" Rick asked. "Hm? Sure, what is it?" she asked. "D-Do you have a boyfriend?!" Rick exclaimed, getting down on his knees, grabbing hold of Crystal's hands. Crystal went wide-eyed, she was stunned. Thunder was furious, he stormed over to Rick and grabbed him by the collar. "YOU STAY THE HECK AWAY FROM HER!!!!" Thunder yelled at Rick, gritting his teeth. Crystal was clueless of why Thunder was doing this. "Whoa! Chill Man, Chill!" Rick exclaimed cowardly. "Thunder, why are you doing this?! Put him down..." a small voice said behind Thunder. He turned and saw Crystal, her eyes were those puppy dog eyes that he just couldn't resist. He calmed down and put Rick down. Rick was so scared that he ran away from them. Crystal walked over to Thunder, the shadows of her bangs over her eyes (In other words, you can't see her eyes). "Why did you do that?" she asked, still her eyes would not show. Thunder looked at her, he started to sweat. "I don't know myself ..... I couldn't control myself..... I'm sorry, Crystal....." Thunder said, still sweating and hoping that she wasn't mad. "You know, I don't even know why I let you come along on this journey...... You're not much of a friend......" Crystal said with a smirk. Thunder stepped back, his face had been struck with terror. This couldn't be Crystal talking, she would never talk like that. "You know, I don't want you comin' along anymore.... Go out on your own like the Loner you are .........." Crystal said with the very same smirk and in a cold, bitter voice. Thunder was heart broken, his one true love was saying things that he had never thought she would say. He just stood there, staring at her. Jen grabbed hold of Crystal hand. "Crystal what are you doing?! I know that you don't mean what you're saying!!" Jen yelled. Crystal's eyes still did not show, and she did not answer. "ANSWER ME!!!! WHY ARE YOU TELLING THUNDER TO LEAVE?!?!?!?!?!?" Jen yelled furiously. Crystal just smirked and threw Jen off of her arm. Crystal jumpped up to a bar on the ship where everybody was watching her. "May I introduce.... TEAM ROCKET!!!!" Crystal yelled at everyone. Her clothes changed to a black dress with pink and white linings, and her shoes changed to white boots. Her hair didn't change, but her hat had an R on it. She finally showed her eyes, they weren't the sparkling, beautiful blue eyes that Thunder had always remembered. Now, her eyes were icey, cold blue. (More like AQUA BLUE!!!) at every corner of the ship, a Rocket Grunt came out, all carrying a whip to whip Trainers into giving them their Pokemon. "Come one, come all! Join Team Rocket and your Pokemon won't be stolen from ya! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!" Crystal laughed. Thunder couldn't move, he was still stunned, he fell to his knees, he looked to the ground, his face had an e- motion that very few people would know of. Jen was going to run, but then Thunder caught her eye. His eyes were almost turning blank! What if Team Rocket was trying to get him, too! "Thunder!! That wasn't Crystal talking!! She Was Being Controlled By Team Rocket!!" Jen yelled. Thunder's eyes didn't go blank, only tears appeared in his eyes. "But Jen... It hurts...." he replied. Jen looked at him thoughtfully, but then Max got by her. "Go!! Jen, get away from here!! Take this!! It's my Lapras, take it outside and wait for me and Thunder!!" Max yelled, handing Jen a pokeball. Jen nodded and went out to the outside of the boat. She released Max's Lapras and her Lapras, and she was waiting on her Lapras for Max and Thunder.
Max watched Jen leave, then in all the commotion, Max turned back to Thunder. Team Rocket members were circling Thunder, they all had whips with them. Thunder just ignored them and continued to to cry. His tears fell to the floor like a soft rain, the Rocket Grunts were smirking at him, getting their whips ready to whip him.
Just then, Crystal jumped from the ceiling, and landed in front of Thunder. Her hands were on her hips. "Get up, Loner!!" she yelled. Thunder's body didn't move, but his mind said 'Move!! Please!!'. All he could do was look up at Rocket Crystal. "Didn't You Hear Me?! GET UP!!" Crystal yelled in anger, kicking Thunder's arm. No, this wasn't the Crystal he loved! He had to fight her and get the old Crystal back!! He got up finally, the Rockets walked away since Crystal was taking control. Thunder walked backwards from Crystal a few steps, and yelled, "I Challenge You To A Pokemon Battle!!" Crystal smirked. "Ok, I accept!" she yelled. "If I win, you turn back to the old Crystal!! If you win.... You get me...." Thunder yelled in a lower voice. "NO!!" a boy's voice yelled from behind Thunder. Thunder looked back to see it was Max. "Don't Fight Her!! We've Got To Get Out Of Here!! Plus, I've Already Lost One New Friend!! I Don't Want To Lose Another One!!" Max yelled, he was a few yards away from Thunder. "I'm Sorry, Max!! But I HAVE To Do This!!" Thunder yelled back to Max.
"Alright, begin!!" Crystal yelled. "Go Quilava!!" Thunder exclaimed, throwing Quilava's pokeball. "Go Chikorita!!" Crystal yelled. "Quilava, use Quick Attack!!" Thunder yelled. "Chikorita, use Flamethrower!!" Crystal commanded to her Chikorita. As Quilava neared them quickly, Chikorita finally fired her Flamethrower attack. It missed every time since Quilava was using Quick Attack. Quilava was finally close enough and it tackled Chikorita head on! Chikorita went flying back into the wall! One more blow would surely asure victory for Thunder. "Good Job, Quilava! Now use Fire Spin!!" Thunder commanded to Quilava. Quilava neared Chikorita again, it got its Fire Spin attack ready. This was the perfect time to attack! "Chikorita, quick!! Use Tackle!!" Crystal yelled. Chikorita nodded and tackled Quilava! Fortunately, Quilava was still able to get the Fire Spin attack ready. And after about five more seconds, the attack was ready! It fired it straight at Chikorita! All the Rockets on the boat got caught in the attack! All the Rockets went flying out of the ship, leaving a very weak Chikorita and a very stunned Rocket Crystal. "I-I can't believe it.... I lost... To him...." Crystal whispered to herself. Thunder walked over to her with a smile. "Remember your promise?" he asked, still smiling. Crystal looked up at him, she smiled and nodded. "Yeah... And since I lost, I guess I gotta give up this body.... Well, see ya later..." Crystal said was a smile. She started to glow aqua blue, then she glowed purple. When she stopped glowing, she collapsed into Thunder's arms. He looked down at her, smiling. He put his left hand under her legs (NOT WHERE YOU THINK, PEOPLE!!), and his other hand under her head. He walked over to Max, and the Thunder and Max walked to the Lapras.
"Finally!! I've been waiting for like, FOREVER!!" Jen exclaimed, "Besides, what happened in there?" Max and Thunder looked at each other and Thunder shook his head. "Life, that's what happened..." he answered as he looked up at where they were going. He could see land up ahead, and he looked down at the sleeping angel in his arms. He smiled down at Crystal and looked back up at the land up ahead.
Chapter 11 Control Over Thunder and The Storm Badge
It was a nice day out, Crystal was still unconcious, and the rest of the gang was worried about her, and hoping that they'd get to land soon. They had made it to land in about five minutes earlier than they thought they would. Thunder stood up, he picked Crystal up as Jen and Max returned their Lapras to their pokeballs. "Hey Thunder!! Is Crystal gonna be ok?" Max asked in a yell as he ran back over to Thunder with Jen. "I think so.... She's a special girl, she was close to dieing in Olivine City, but she made it through.... I think she'll be ok." Thunder answered, he looked down to Crystal once more, then he and the rest of the gang went looking around for a Pokemon Center.
After ten minutes, there was a moaning sound coming from Thunder's arms. Thunder, Max and Jen looked at Crystal and saw he eyes moving under her eyelids a bit. They all gasped with joy, she was coming to! "Crystal! Crystal, wake up!!" Thunder exclaimed happily. Crystal continued to wince for one more minute, then her eye opened. Her beautiful blueish-green-ish eyes glimered as they opened. The whole gang smiled happily as Thunder put Crystal down. "W-What just happened?" Crystal asked, looking to Thunder. "Team Rocket took over your body on the S.S. Aqua, but don't worry. You're back now!" Thunder answered with a wink. Crystal blushed at that wink, and said, "Again? Why are they always after me...." "Thunder said you were a VERY special girl... Heh, I think I know where he got that...." Max responded with a weird look and grin. Thunder and Crystal looked at Max and blushed. "Oh heck, let's just go to the Gym...." Crystal responded, blushing. She grabbed Thunder's hand and ran off to find the Cianwood Gym. "HEY!! WAIT FOR US!!!" Jen yelled, grabbing Max's whole arm and running off to follow them.
It took a while, but they all finally found the Gym. They knocked on the Gym door, the door swung open, an old man stood there with a Machoke. "Let me guess, you all must have came for a badge, right?" the old man asked with a firm look. Crystal and Jen let gos of the boys, all four of them nodded. "Ok, who will be my first opponent?" the old man asked, "By the way, I'm the Cianwood City Gym Leader, Chuck. We battle in here, follow me." Crystal, Thunder, Jen and Max followed Chuck into the Gym.
They all walked to a battle arena, Chuck walked to the other side and asked once more, "Who will be my first challenger?" Jen stepped forth and exclaimed, "I will!" Jen walked to her side of the arena and got ready. "Get ready...." Chuck whispered to himself. "Let The Battle Begin!!" the referee exclaimed as he held both flags up. "Go Machoke!!" Chuck yelled as his Machoke ran into the arena. "Go Lappy!" Jen yelled as she threw a pokeball. Her Lapras popped out with a cry of happiness. It hadn't battled for a LONG while. "Machoke, use Karate Chop!!" Chuck yelled. Machoke ran towards Lapras, getting its hands ready to start attacking. "Lappy!! Use Ice Beam!!" Jen commanded quickly. Lapras moved out of Machoke's way. Machoke went running into the wall with a loud THUMP! He had a bump on its nose, Jen and Lappy laughed. Lappy finally stopped laughing and used Ice Beam on Machoke. Machoke was stuck in a block of ice! The referee went to Chuck's side and looked at Machoke. "Machoke is unable to fight! The winner is Jen!" the referee exclaimed. Jen jumped up and down several times, then she walked over to Chuck. "You fought well, now to prove you've won at this Gym, I present you with the Storm Badge!" Chuck said as he handed Jen the Storm Badge. "Thanks!!" she exclaimed happily. She skipped back over to Max and the others. Chuck got out some Ice Heal and got rid of the ice that imprisoned his Machoke. "Who's next?" Chuck asked, looking over at the gang again. "I am!!" Thunder yelled.
Thunder walked over to his side of the arena, and got ready to battle. "Let The Match For The Storm Badge Begin!!" the referee exclaimed, raising both flags again. "Here we go again, Machoke!!" Chuck yelled as Machoke got in a fighting stance. "Go Sudowoodo!!" Thunder exclaimed as he threw a Great Ball. His Sudowoodo jumped out, ready to battle. " A Sudowoodo?!" Chuck chuckled, "This'll be interesting! Use Karate Chop!!" Machoke ran towards Sudowoodo, once agian getting ready to attack. "This again? Well, whatever. Use Low Kick!!" Thunder commanded. Sudowoodo got out of Machoke's reach and it launched a Low Kick at Machoke's feet! ! Machoke's eyes went HUGE with pain! It started running around, trying not to hurt its legs! Thunder and Sudowoodo laughed out loud. "Ok, Sudowoodo! Use Slam!" Thunder exclaimed, still laughing a bit. Sudowoodo stopped laughing so hard and narrowed it down to a low chuckle. It went running towards Machoke and slamed HARD into it! Machoke's eyes went even BIGGER! "Oh! That's GOTTA hurt!!" Max reacted to the scene. "Come on, Sudowoodo!! Kill it!!" Thunder commanded, his eyes were turning from dark green to maroon red! Sudowoodo nodded as it's eyes atarted to turn maroon red as well, it launched another Slam attack at Machoke. Machoke was starting to cry, it had NEVER felt pain like this before! Chuck was to stunned to move! He was so helpless! "Ma-Machoke!!" he exclaimed, almost starting to cry himself. Jen gasped out loud. Crystal screamed in fear, this wasn't the Thunder she knew!
Thunder heard a girl scream behind him, he turned around to see Crystal. Her eyes wide with fright, her mouth hung open. He smirked as his Sudowoodo continued to try and kill Machoke. "Yo, Thunder!! This Ain't Like Ya At All!! Why Are Ya Doin' This?!" Max yelled at Thunder. Thunder didn't answer, he just kept on smirking as he watched Sudowoodo kill Machoke. "Thunder!!" a girls voice yelled from behind him. Thunder looked behind him again, it was Crystal again. She looked like she was going to cry. He started to get a bad headache, he held onto his head. That wasn't Thunder!! He would never kill any Pokemon!! He's to respectful, and he would NEVER do anything to upset Crystal enough to make her cry! "AAAAARRRGGGGHHH!!!!" he yelled out in pain, he was struggling to take control of his body again, but he was to weak! This presence that controled his body now was much to powerful! Thunder stopped holding his head, his maroon red eyes stood still, looking at Crystal.
He smirked again, and turned back to the battle. "Thunder!! This isn't like you!! Why are you killing a Gym Leader's Pokemon?! Thunder!!" Crystal exclaimed, tears coming down her cheeks like a river of sadness. Thunder chuckled evily and responded, "Thunder is no longer here, Little Jewel.... Team Magma's taken him over! MUAHAHAHA!!" Crystal took a step back, her eyes wide with fright, tears still rolled down her cheeks. "T-Team Magma?" she asked, still looking at Thunder. Her eyes began to blur with the water of her tears, she tried to stay looking at Thunder correctly. She tried to walk towards Thunder, but someone grabbed her hand. She turned around to see it was Max. "Don't go to him!! I've heard of Team Magma!! They're supposed to only be in the Houen Region, not in the region of Johto!! I guess some of them managed to get here...." Max told Crystal and Jen. "Team Magma? I've never heard of them... What are they?" Jen asked, looking at Max. "They are much like Team Rocket, but more devious and murderous!! They would do ANYTHING to get what they want!!" Max answered, looking back at Thunder, "And right now, they've taken control on Thunder's body...." Crystal looked back to Thunder, he was smirking as he watched Machoke die slowly. Max thought that he had knocked some sense into Crystal, but when he let go of her hand, she went running to Thunder. "Wait!! Crystal, no!!" Max yelled.
Thunder has heard Max's cry that Crystal not go somewhere. He wanted to know what she was going to do, so he turned around and saw her running towards him. "Huh?! What the he-" Thunder started, Crystal had made it over to him and started kissing him on the lips before he could finish his sentence. Thunder was much to surprised to take this! His maroon red eyes turned back to their normal dark green again. He nearly fell over, but he kept his balance and figured out what Crystal was doing. He blushed to himself and kissed back.
When Crystal noticed he was kissing back, she blushed bright pink and broke the kiss. She looked at Thunder, seeing his no longer red eyes. "Thunder? Is it you?" she asked, scared of what might have become of him this time. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm back to my old self...." Thunder answered with a smile. "Oh, Thunder!" Crystal exclaimed, her eyes were filled with tears of happiness, she hugged him. He blushed, but you couldn't see it.
She suddenly let go of him and looked at Chuck. He was crying, he was sitting by his dead Machoke. "NOOOO!!!!!!" Chuck yelled in pain. Thunder and Crystal walked over to him, Thunder had a sweatdrops over his head. "Um.... C-Can I have my Storm Badge?" he asked, his hand behind his head, and the sweatdrops went down three centimeters. Chuck was still crying, but he looked up at Thunder and handed him the badge quickly. Thunder smiled and walked back to Jen and Max. "Um..... Can we battle now? Do you have any other Pokemon?" Crystal asked, a sweatdrops over her head now. "Yes... As a matter of fact, I do! Let's get the battle started!" Chuck exclaimed, getting back in his spot at the arena. Crystal did the same, but at her side.
"Go Machamp!!" Chuck yelled, throwing a pokeball. A bigger version on Machoke popped out of the pokeball. It had four extra arms!! Crystal was freaking out, that Pokemon REALLY looked weird!! "Um... Ok, a Machamp..... Um.... Go.... Watery!" Crystal yelled as she threw Watery's pokeball into the arena. Her perky little Croconaw popped out, jumping up and down, then it stopped and glared at Machamp. Machamp took a step back, and the referee yelled, "Let The Match Begin!!" "Cross Chop!!" Chuck yelled, his Machamp went running towards Croconaw, waving all of its arms around like a Karate Chop, but harder!! "WHAT?! CROSS CHOP!? Watery, Get Out Of The Way!!! Use Water Gun!!" Crystal yelled at the top of her lungs. Croconaw had a hard time getting out of the way, but she managed to dodge it. She jumpped over Machamp's head and launched a Strong Water Gun attack down at it's head! Machamp went straight into the ground! But he got out of the hole he made and got ready for another Cross Chop! "Oh-no!! Watery, use Rage and Water Gun!!" Crystal exclaimed, hoping that Chuck wasn't trying to kill Her Pokemon!! Croconaw jumped out of the way once again and turned all red, she was getting mad!! She ran at Machamp from behind, and launched an even Harder Water Gun attack! This one knocked Machamp to the ground, then into the wall! Machamp had anime swirls in its eyes, the referee checked to see if it could still fight. "Machamp is unable to fight, the match and the Storm badge gos to Crystal!" the referee exclaimed as he raised the flag in his left hand to Crystal's side.
Crystal jumped up and down at this victory, she had beaten her most least favorite Fighting attack! When she ran over to Watery to give her a hug, she glowed bright white. Crystal took a step back, she was smiling happily. When the light died out, Watery the Croconaw didn't stand there. Instead, there stood a Feraligatr, smiling happily. Crystal gasped with a smile, she hugged her new Feraligatr, and it hugged back also. "I can't believe it! Watery! You're a Feraligatr! Oh My God!" Crystal exclaimed happily. Thunder, Jen and Max ran over to Crystal and her Feraligatr, all smiling. "Congrats, Crystal! You've got a Feraligatr! You're much better than me in Pokemon training.... Lynda's still a Charmander...." Jen said to Crystal with a sweatdrop. "You just need to get in battles and train it more ..." Crystal responded, smiling. Thunder walked up to Crystal, blushing. "Um..... Congrats..... And.... Um.... Thanks for getting that Magma Grunt out of my body....." Thunder thanked, still blushing. Crystal let go of Watery the Feraligatr. She put her hand behind her head and blushed as she said, "Well, you're welcome. But you're the one who saved me a whole bunch of times before, remember?" "Oh yeah, I forgot...." Thunder answered, "But, when you were being controled by Team Rocket on the S.S. Aqua.... W-Was it true? Do you really not want me traveling with you anymore?" Crystal looked at Thunder, she had the smile that he loved to see. "Of course not, Thunder!! I don't want you to leave the group!! That Rocket Grunt probably wanted you, too!!" Crystal answered, looking at him straight in the eyes. His frown turned into a smile. "Thank Goodness! Cause, I really don't know what it would be like without you, Crystal." Thunder responded with his smile. Crystal thought the exact same thing. She wouldn't even last one day away from Thunder!
Chuck was trying to sneak out before Crystal knew he didn't give her the badge, but when Thunder caught Chuck at the corner of his eye, he went running! Thunder was right behind Chuck. "Going somewhere?" Thunder asked with a serious look. Chuck yelled cause he knew it was Thunder. "Ok!! Ok, Ok!! Fine!! I'll Give The Badge!!" Chuck yelled, he took a badge from his pocket and handed it to Thunder, "What Do I Care?! Give It To Your Girlfriend!! I'm Out Of Here!!" With that, Chuck ran out of the Gym to get away from Thunder.
Thunder walked back over to Crystal. "Chuck forgot to give this to you..." Thunder said as he handed Crystal the badge. "Thanks Thunder! Well, we should be heading to Mahgany Town, right? There's a short cut through Ecruteak City, I think...." Crystal exclaimed happily. Jen turned to Crystal, grinning. "Wow, you sure know where the cities are, don't you?" Jen talked, still grinning. "Heheh! I've been studying your maps! Sorry!" Crystal confessed, sweatdroping and turning a little bit red. "It's quite alright, you know you can use any of my stuff anytime! Just, ask me before you use my Pokemon, ok?" Jen responded laughing with a smile. Crystal laughed. "Heh! That's for sure!" Crystal said as she laughed. That was the last thing that happened before they started their journey to Mahogany Town.
