Chapter 2: Beware of Crystal.

"Hey Mom, do you and Dad have any friends?" Max asked May.

"Yes, we do son. In fact I'm going over to my friend Crystal's house today." replied May.

"Can I come too?"

"Of course!"

Then all of a sudden Mai walked in the room.

"Hey May, you said your friend's name was Crystal right?" said Mai.

"Yes."

"Well I heard that Crystal was number 1 in the Pokémon tournaments and beat the Elite Four. Is that true?"

"Yes."

"Wow, you must be lucky to know her. By the way Brendan and Marik went to train at Domino Gym."

"Oh, okay. Well Max and I are going to see Crystal."

Then May and Max went to Crystal's house.

At Crystal's house:

Crystal opened the door and greeted May and Max.

"Hello May it's a pleasure to see you! Oh, and who's is this dor-…adorable child you have with you?" said Crystal.

"Oh, this is my son Max." said May.

"You and Brendan must have got--…must have a nice family. Well you guys can come in."

May and Max were shocked. When they stepped into Crystal's house the doors were locked with ice like on Zelda OOT. The whole room was covered in ice and snow and the ceiling had huge crystals in it.

"It's a trap!" shouted Max.

"You are right and you fell right into it!" yelled Crystal.

"I don't know what you're planning but I'm gonna stop you!" May then pulled out a Pokéball from her belt and threw it. "Come on out Mudkip!" May's Mudkip then emerged from the Pokéball.

"It will take more than a Mudkip to stop me! Go Registeel!" Then a Registeel emerged from the Pokéball Crystal threw.

"Mom, watch out it's a Registeel!"

"Max, I'll hold off Crystal while you try to break the window; though you'll need this!" May then threw a Pokéball to Max and Max caught it and then released the Cyndaquil from it.

"Okay. Cyndaquil, use flamethrower on the ice wall!" The Cydnaquil did and then Brendan, Marik, and Mai emerged from the window.

"Surprise!" yelled Brendan. He then sent out his Grovyle and Marik sent out his Blaziken and Mai sent out her Jolteon.

"Attack!" They all commanded. But Crystal slipped away and left a dummy of herself.

"Darn it! That you know what got away!" said Marik.

"It will be okay, I'm sure we'll get her next time." said Mai.

"That's right." said May, Max, and Brendan.

Then they went back to their house, unaware Crystal was following them and plotting something.
