"Okay, Soullight! Attract, then use Hidden Power on those hearts!"

Soullight sent red hearts every which direction, then several balls of aqua-blue light surrounded him. The balls of light then flew to the hearts and enveloped them. The result was a bunch of blue lights with hearts in them.

"Good! Now, use Pound on the lights!"

Soullight complied; the end result was red and aqua-blue glitter raining down on the area, creating a very beautiful scene. Crystal had been testing Soullight's Hidden Power to find out what Type it was. Hidden Power was easy to figure out, as it was always the same colour as its Type. As it turned out, his Hidden Power was Water-Typed; which gave Crystal an idea for a contest performance. Crystal had always been unable to decide whether to be a Coordinator or a Trainer, at least, until Soullight suggested she do both.

"Well done! That was very good!" Crystal praised Soullight.

"Well... It was easier than I thought it would be," Soullight admitted, using a three-fingered hand to scratch the back of his head. "I thought it would be much more difficult."

"See? I told you so!"

"Yeah yeah. No need to brag."

It was still the same day they met, but they were already fighting like old friends. They were outside in Crystal's backyard. The backyard in question was very big; it was as large as a small house! The grass was well-kept, as was the gardens. The gardens had Cheri, Oran, Sitrus, Pecha, Chesto, Persim, Rawst, Aspear, Leppa, and Lum Berry Trees; as well as all kinds of vegetables. The mansion was right behind them; it was a four-story building, five-story if you included the attic. It was made out of granite on the first two floors; the rest, black marble. The roof was shingled with shale and supported with oak beams. The back door was also made of oak, with a shining brass doorknob. The steps leading from the door were made of white marble; there were three steps in total. The five-foot-high fence surrounding the backyard was made out of maple (A/N: Not oak? Wow!).

"Crystal! Come back in! It's time to get ready!" Came the sound of her father's voice.

"Coming!" Crystal shouted. Turning to Soullight, she said: "C'mon, let's go inside!"


Later...

Crystal took her modest, ice-blue bathing suit with turquoise trim out of her dresser and put it on her bed. Soullight was climbing on the ceiling because he was bored. Crystal was double-checking her supplies before leaving for Twinleaf Town. She had insisted that she start out with little more supplies than most beginning Trainers instead of tons of stuff for every possible thing, despite her parents' protests.

There were five Oran Berries, two Leppa Berries, and a Lum Berry. There were four Poké Balls; a Heal Ball, a Dusk Ball, a Timer Ball and a Premier Ball; a Potion; an Apricorn Box; a Fashion Case with a Blue Feather, a Blue Scale, and some Glitter Powder; a Poffin Case; a Seal Case with six Star Seals and one Floral Seal; a silver Pokétch with the Digital Clock, Calculator, Step Counter, and Your Party applications (which was soon strapped to Crystal's right wrist); a Contest Pass; a sleeping bag that was black on the outside, and silver on the inside; a simple, black-and-midnight-blue, one-person tent; a white, fully stocked, human first-aid kit; a blank journal with a cobalt-blue cover; several midnight-blue pens with cobalt-blue ink; and several spare changes of clothes.

"Okay, I think that's it..." Crystal said as she scanned the stuff on the bed. "Soullight, come down here for a bit."

"Alright, alright already!" Soullight complained. "Keep your shirt on!" He then leapt from the ceiling and landed on all fours.

"Here, take this for a Hold Item." Crystal said, passing Soullight an Oran Berry.

"Okay." He said, getting up.

Crystal then put everything except the Seal Case and Soullight's Luxury Ball into her bag. She then placed a Star Seal and the Floral Seal on Soullight's Ball, and put the Seal Case away in her bag. Crystal put her bag's only strap on her left shoulder. She then started as though remembering something, and walked over to her dresser. She then opened a drawer and pulled out a very shiny, thin, silver belt and put it on. Crystal then put Soullight's Luxury Ball on the right foremost steel clasp. There, she thought, smiling, done.

"C'mon, Soullight. Let's go down stairs. Mom said she had something for us."

"Sure."


"Mom! I'm done packing!"

Crystal's mother looked up and smiled at her daughter. "I've got something special for you!"

"What is it?"

"Yeah, what is it?"

Crystal's mother smiled and turned to the ash cabinet behind her (not that she had understood a word that Soullight had said, seeing as she only heard: "Tree, Treecko?"). She opened the cabinet and took something out.

"Close your eyes, Crystal. You too, Soullight."

"Okay." Said the duo at the same time. ("Tree.")

"Hold out your hands, Crystal."

Crystal held out her hands and her mother placed something in them. It felt round and smooth.

"Okay. Now, open your eyes."

Crystal and Soullight did so, and took a double take. Lying in Crystal's hands was an egg. It was a slightly muddy-blue with little red streaks. They gaped at it.

"For me?" Crystal asked, amazed.

"Yes, I thought that you might like to have it. When it is fully evolved, it will be a massive powerhouse. But it will take allot of love and care. I know that you can do it, however." Her mother said, smiling. "Its parents are very strong, some of the strongest of their kind. They wanted you to have their first egg, so that it will grow up to be strong, like them."

"Thank you! And tell them thank you, as well, and to not worry, I'll take very good care of it." Crystal, over-joyed, was smiling like there was no tomorrow.

"Now you'd best be going, it's a long walk to the professor's lab." Crystal's mother said, as she walked them to the door. Crystal opened the door and stepped outside with Soullight.

"Okay! Goodbye, Mom! I'll miss you! Tell Dad that I'll make him proud! And when I come home, I'll be the region's champion!"

"Goodbye, sweetie! Be sure to write!"

"Don't worry, I will! Bye!" Crystal called out, as she and Soullight left for Twinleaf Town. Thus began their adventure...


At the Hall of Origen...

Dialga sighed as it watched a red-and-turquoise humanoid Pokémon with a purple crystalline organ in its chest and a purple slit down its face, once again, recue Mew from Genesect for the umpteenth time. Mew never learned that it was a very bad idea to pester the insane Bug/Steel-Type. The end result? Deoxys ended up having to keep saving Mew from becoming chow for the Paleozoic Pokémon. Deoxys turned out to have an immense amount of patience, unlike a great many Legendaries. Thus, Arceus placed it as a new member in Mew and Mewtwo's group. Everyone sympathized with the DNA Pokémon, having to deal with Mew's hyper-activeness, and Mewtwo's techno-babble. The space virus put up with it astonishingly well.

"Hey, Deoxys!" Dialga bellowed to get the DNA Pokémon's attention (as well as everyone in the Hall's; Dialga can be very loud). "Can you come over here for a bit?"

What is it, Dialga? Deoxys asked as it flew over with Mew still in its tentacles. Deoxys was in its Defence Form, Dialga noticed.

"Arceus has summoned us... And why are you in your Defence Form?" Dialga asked.

Huh? Oh! Deoxys said as it glanced down at itself. It then reverted to its Normal Form and let Mew go. I always go into Defence Form around Genesect; I have no interest in becoming anybody's meal. I may be able to regenerate, but it's still not at all pleasant and if my crystal gets destroyed, then it's all over for me. It explained, gesturing at its crystalline organ with a tentacle.

"Ah," was the reply.


Author's Note:

Hiya! Yep, another chappy. Sorry if it's short. Also, No-one has given me any OCs! Please, the form is in chapter one. I need as many as you can give me, and I don't care anymore if you PM me or not! I might be able to go and do one more chapter before I need an OC to continue. It will be the rival, yes. But I will need lots of OCs for this entire story; so, again, please send some OCs! I'm going to be doing a poll to see what you think is going to hatch from that egg. Well, I've got to go, see ya!

Please reveiw! I need to know what you think!
