Jay has spent the last few days alone in his room, but most of the time walking around the ship hoping to run into James or Tsuki or Hiro or maybe even Crystal. He was at a loss for words at what could possibly be going on with Crystal and her friends. They keep hiding from him. What could they be hiding? He packed up his stuff walked out of the growingly empty room.
Jay started to wonder the ship again, finding himself in the shops area of the ship.
He realized Crystal has spoken incredibly highly of James, being less than eager to meet him, he didn't think he'd actually be on such bad terms with the guy. But he did know that to keep Crystal happy he'd have to befriend him. ...Or I could just leave these kids alone and go back to Kanto and start my journey with my friends. What in the world made Jay leave them anyway? He was friends with them long before Crystal entered his world.
He looked through shops thinking.
Jay has been so used to getting everything he wanted with his parents being able to afford any luxury. So buying a small house on the same street as Crystal was easy enough for him. But his family stayed in the city. But what he wanted was Crystal. She's shown him such adventures through there time in Kanto, going to school, and exploring nature. Jay hated it at first but then saw a beauty in it all. He wanted to stay with her and learn more about the world.
He looked down at his two pokeballs and realized that without Crystal he wouldn't have come this far with such powerful pokemon already. He wanted to get stronger and prove to be a rival to Crystal. He wanted her to see him, not James. He realized he just wanted Crystals attention. But James stood in the way of that. I can just leave if it gets too hard. He always left when things got too hard for him. But he was so attached to the girl, he couldnt see how that was possible.
He heard a Pikachu and looked up into a ship. He looked around the aisles before realizing there were dresses everywhere. He looked around one more time and saw James and a worker looking through dresses. Probably replacing the one Crystal tore. How did that tear anyway?
He walked up behind James, wanting to ask him but Eevee noticed him first. Eevee's cry got James attention, turning him around. Jay knew he needed to do something about James or just leave. Why not play the game first and see where it goes?
...
"How the hell do you always end up finding me..?" James gritted under his breath, turning back to the green dress the worker held
Jay starred up and pointed at his scarf "You have a very noticeable scarf"
"…what?" he questioned in a monotone, emotionless cold voice, questioning whether he was trying to joke with him or insult him
"Your scarf stands out" Jay stated, with no obvious aggression in his voice. James let out a sigh and dismissed it. "That one looks nice" Jay pointed to a yellow dress hanging on a wall
"It's yellow." James stated, questioning his sense of colour "It stands out like sore thumb"
"Like your scarf" Jay smirked. His obvious attempt at a joke made James question why he was still allowing his presence
Pikachu chuckled on top of his head followed by Eevee following at his feet. James remained stern, hate still eminent in his demeanour. "Whatever" James waved him off in response to his chuckling Pokémon.
"How about that?" Jay pointed to a purple one. James' battle of questioning ones intelligence never got so strong.
I just beat the crap out of this guy and now he's trying to be friends? I guess he has the same mindset of it being for crystal, James thought, but knew better than to speak his thoughts
"I don't give a crap how you talk to me when crystal isn't around but I like the idea of being friends when she is so she doesn't have to pick. But right now, I don't give a crap. I really don't like you and I'm sure you don't like me either so really don't try to be friendly when I know you don't want to or you don't need to. I sure as hell don't want to" James glared at him
...
...
Pondering the thought of spending one day with Jay and then move on to James made Crystal question whether her two friends were actually the same person. Aware of her crazy thought, Tsuki laughed behind the curtain.
"You only have another night 'till ew get off this ship, then you have to face them both so I think it'd be better to get passed the awkwardness now" Tsuki laughed in the steaming washroom
The hot steaming water rolled down Crystals light tanned skin as she sighed. "I wonder if they've met yet" her emotionless, curious voice escaping her lips
There was a quiet silence before she erupted in a fit of giggles again. "I'm sure they have" she barely made out as she was laughing
"Why are you laughing…?" A small curious tone
Questioning whether Crystal should have the knowledge of them hating each other's guts, Tsuki quieted down. She stuttered before she spoke up "Just a joke Hiro and I have," which wasn't untrue
Tsuki left the bathroom soon after to let Crystal dry off and get changed.
As she stepped out of the shower, she could see the steam bouncing off the walls in the narrow bathroom. She wrapped her complimentary white towel around her body and immediately after let out another quiet sigh as she grabbed a spare small towel to wipe the mirror clean of steam
She looked at her own sad expression in the mirror and immediately thought of her dream she experienced last night…
Shrouded in smog she had a talk with the same voice that started coming to her three years ago. This time she had a visual of what was making the voice. An Entei. The miraculous brown furred dog of deep legend was right in front of her and told her that he needed her for an upcoming battle. She herself has gotten in quite a few fights but nothing she would call an actual battle. She recalled Entei breathing fire onto her but not the kind that burned. The fire gave her the knowledge of what her powers were capable of and what her partner meant to her. Everything enveloped her so quickly and so suddenly that she blacked out after everything was absorbed into her.
A sudden knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. She noticed she was leaning on the sink, starring at her glowing red eyes in the mirror which slowly faded back to brown as she took in where she was and what was real.
""Yeah?" she continued to stare at her reflection
"Someone's here…" Tsuki stated. Crystal couldn't quite understand the use of tone in Tsuki's voice. Amusement? Excitement? Dread?
Someone's here? Crystal though to herself
Crystal suddenly felt a wash of darkness wash over her as her hand fell on the sink, making her lean on it again and stare at her reflection once again. As her vision went to the colour of black and white, she noticed her eyes were the only thing that stayed in colour- a deep dark red.
Yes, Someone's here, She knew. But she didn't know what was happening
"Crystal?" The knock echoed through her ears. "Are you alright?" The concern in Tsuki's voice led Crystal to give the door a stare down but nothing left her mouth.
Hello There
The black and white of Crystal's vision was only the first step of what was happening to her. The next step was a loss of self.
Codename: Wildfire
She lost her sense of reason in such a short amount of tim
Let's test this out
"I'm changing" She stated as she took off her robe and looked at herself in the mirror
It works, the voice laughed. But this was a different voice than the one she knew
"…Alright…" a sorrowful monotone voice came from behind the door
She looked through her bag and put on the necessary clothes and accessories so no one would assume anything by her style
Now let's test this out for real
Crystal hesitantly grabbed the door knob and walked out the room as she came face to face with Tsuki, leaning on the wall, talking to James beside her and Jay on the other side of her. Crystal knew she should have been shocked given the two boys were there right in front of her, but she wasnt. She was simply empty. The only thing in her head was instructions she simply had to follow
Crystals brown brows raised at the sudden realization of what was going on. She wanted to say something but couldn't put her words together
"Hello" was all she could make out; in response to what the voice was telling her.
This voice was not the least bit familiar. It was a lot different. No similarities at all, except the fact that she couldn't see who was talking
They starred at her blankly, slowly taking in that something was wrong.
Tsuki was the first to speak up. "Crystal?" was all that escaped her confusion. She was obviously struggling keeping her demeanour- an obvious struggle but widely confusing. "Is there something the matter?" Tsuki slowly asked. They all noticed a twitch in her voice as she was stuttering on what to say next.
A quiet "I don't know" escaped her lips, barely comprehensible, not budging her body.
James raised an arm to her shoulder about to say something but Crystal swiftly hit it out of the way and her eye brows quickly arched down to show her aggression. They all noticed the red in her eyes as soon as she stepped out of the bathroom but the red was only getting darker. Her quiet, confused atmosphere quickly changed to an angry, aggressive one.
"Out of my way" She looked up at James who was the only one in her way to get to the door.
James didn't budge.
Quilava quickly jumped out of his pokeball and barked up at her, with full knowledge of what was going on with her.
"Quilava. You listen to me. Do what I say and get back in your pokeball" Her aggression was evident which made Quilava's ears drop and head fall as he obeyed his trainer.
She then looked back up at James who was very clearly stepping in her way. She balled her fists as she told him to move again
"Where are you going?" His strict attitude looking down at Crystal only made her angrier.
"None of your business" she exhaled. "Now move before I make you move" She slowly raised her fisted hand and her other hand reached for her pokeball.
Eevee's soft cry could he heard behind James' foot as she slowly stepped between his legs to look up at Crystal with her confused shiny eyes.
"…Eevee" Crystal's tone noticable changed as she said her pokemons name; her fist dropped slightly
This is quite interesting
The aggression from Crystals face faded as Eevee went up to her feet and nuzzled against them in a very cat-like manner.
…Let's crank it up a bit, then
Tsuki wouldn't stop starring at the colour in crystals eyes. Colour always told you what was going on. But this colour. This colour was different than anything she has ever seen- different than any red. All of a sudden the red became a new shade of red. A different red than she knew was existent. The concern in Tsukis mind was surreal
Tsuki knew Crystal lost control of herself, she didn't know what was happening with her but she knew that she was not able to prevent what she was about to do. She raised her hand and drew Eevee closer using her psychic powers, earning an extremely concerned look from Jay beside her.
As soon as Tsuki did so, Crystal brought her eyes back to look up at James, the aggression returning and without hesitation punched James in the face with enough force to knock him out of the way. As soon as he was out of the way, Crystal walked past him, nudging his shoulder also with enough force to budge him.
As Crystal walked on out of the room, without looking back, the three of them didn't know what to think of what they just witnessed; Jay being the most concerned and worried of them all.

SO guys, check out my new story in the perspective of James, two years later than this story. Everybody is older but James gets kidnapped and Team Rocket performs a forbidden ritual on the boy, giving him the powers of a Raikou.
I'd say the story is a lot better than this one. So if you wanna, here's the link
