Introduction

It was the end of a nice, quiet day in a small town. A young woman with blue hair had finished her job for the day and she returned to her home. Her name is Krystal.

Normally, she is cheerful to everyone she meets, but today, she is exhausted as it had been a long day for her. When she got home, she just sat down in her chair without changing out of her uniform.

The moment Krystal got herself comfortable, her Pichu ran up to her. "Hey, "Pichu," Krystal said as the Pichu jumped onto her shoulder, "How are you doing now, my little friend?" Pichu replied happily.

"Good thing for you," said Krystal, "A lot better than me right now. I'm too tired to do anything else right now. You can go play right now." So, Krystal took a short nap as her Pichu played.

It has been 11 years since she was put in charge of protecting the lake and it's secret. Krystal was given the responsibility after her parents passed away.

For years, she's done a really good job of protecting the lake. About 40 minutes later, Krystal woke up, feeling energized again. "Ok," she said, "I'm feeling better now." First, she took off her gloves, her headband and her boots.

Then she got her dinner ready as well as getting her Pichu something to eat. Although she enjoyed her life taking care of the Pokemon, she feels lonely inside and she wishes that she could spend more time with someone else.

"I love taking care of Pokemon," she thought, "But I wish I could be with someone. There were those kids who helped me with Zapdos. But I wish there was someone else."

After Krystal had her dinner, she just jumped into her bed and fell fast asleep.

Early the next morning, Krystal woke up and had decided to go out for an early morning walk into town. At the same time, in another place, a young man whose name is Wilbur, who had just arrived. He admired the sights with his Pidgey.

Meanwhile, Krystal was enjoying the beautiful morning and thus, she was happy.

Some children passed by her and said hello. Seeing children brightens her day. "Hello to all of you," she said to the children as they ran past. Next, she decided to walk towards a nearby mountain range.

When she got to one of the highest places in the mountain range, she admired the view of the forest from a really high cliff, but she ended up walking too close to the edge; The edge of the cliff collapsed right underneath her feet and she fell down.

Just beneath her was Wilbur whom was just walking, not noticing anything out of the ordinary. Suddenly, Wilber was knocked to the ground as Krystal landed on him feet first.

"Ow!" exclaimed Wilbur. Fortunately, neither one of them was hurt. "The last thing I want to see is things falling on me," groaned Wilbur.

"Oh, I'm sorry, mister!" cried Krystal, and she'd quickly got off of Wilbur. "Yeah, it's okay," said Wilbur, who was about to get up, "It's not uncommon for girls to be landing on guys."

"You think?" asked Krystal, "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention." Krystal helped Wilbur get back on his feet. Then, Krystal took a look at Wilbur's eyes.

"What is it?" asked Wilbur. "Have I seen you before?" she asked. "What are you talking about?" Wilbur replied. "I think I seen you a long time ago," answered Krystal. "Where?" asked Wilbur.

"In preschool," answered Krystal. "Preschool?" repeated Wilbur, "Hmm. Come to think of it, I have seen you, too." "But we've never introduced ourselves," said Krystal.

"Oh," said Wilbur, "So, do you want to introduce yourself now?" "Sure," replied Krystal, "My name is Krystal." "And my name is Wilbur," said Wilbur, "I've just arrived from the Pudgy Pidgey Isle about an hour ago."

"Where's that?" asked Krystal. "In the Whirl Islands," answered Wilbur. "So, what are you doing here?" asked Krystal.

"Well," began Wilbur, "I'm on a important trip. I'll be staying in this area for about 3 months before I return home." "I see," said Krystal, "I work near a lake not too far away from here."

"Really?" asked Wilbur. "Yeah," said Krystal, "But it's a secret." "Ok," said Wilbur, "Your secret is safe with me." "Thanks," said Krystal, "I knew I could trust you. So, you want come over to my house for breakfast?"

"Sure," Wilbur replied, "I think it'll be better than what I had on that plane."

So together, Wilbur and Krystal walked back to her house. When they got back, they introduced their Pokemon to each other. "Here is Orville, my Pidgey," Wilbur introduced, "And the only Pidgey that is normal size from that island."

"I can see that," said Krystal, "And here is my Pichu." That's when her Pichu jumped onto her left shoulder. "Hello, there," said Wilbur. Pichu responded happily.

"He looks happy to see a new visitor," smiled Krystal. "All right," said Wilbur, "Thank you kindly." So after that, Krystal and Wilbur went inside to have breakfast together. Krystal got some pancakes for breakfast.

"Hey, do you know a young boy named Ash?" asked Wilbur, "I met him months ago and he was with some friends of his back on Pudgy Pidgey Isle." "Yeah, I remember them," replied Krystal, "He and his friends helped me save Zapdos as some villains tried to steal the crystal." "What?!" asked Wilbur.

"Yeah," Krystal said, unhappily, "It's a long story. And this crystal is part of the lake's secret." "I understand," said Wilbur, "Don't worry." "I'll show you after our breakfast," said Krystal. "You work on Saturdays?" asked Wilbur. "Yep," replied Krystal, "But don't worry, I'm okay with that." "If you say so," said Wilbur.

After they finished their breakfast, Krystal and Wilbur started to leave the house, but not before Pichu and Orville decided to tag along. "All right, Pichu," smiled Krystal, "You can come with us today." "You too, Orville," smiled Wilbur.

They left Krystal's home and headed off towards the lake. In no time at all, they reached it. "So, what do you do here?" asked Wilbur. "I protect this lake and all the Pokemon," answered Krystal, "You can hang out around here if you want, but I've got to work now."

"Okay," said Wilbur. However, during Krystal's break time, she spends her time with Wilbur. "All right," said Krystal, "Now I can hang out with you." "That's great!" exclaimed Wilbur excitedly. So for the moment, they just sat down together, being silent.

However, a few minutes later, Wilbur finally spoke up. "So," said Wilbur, "How long have you been doing this?" "For about 11 years," replied Krystal. "That's really great of you," said Wilbur.

"So, what do you do?" Krystal asked Wilbur. "Well," answered Wilbur, "I just wander around the world, having adventures." "That's great of you," said Krystal. "Thanks," said Wilbur.

However, it was time for Krystal to go back to work, but she still takes breaks to talk to Wilbur. Time passed by quickly that day. When it became sundown, Krystal decided to walk Wilbur back to his home.

"I'll see you tomorrow," said Wilbur, the moment they reached his home. "Oh yes," replied Krystal, "It was nice seeing you!"

"And it was nice seeing you, too," said Wilbur as soon as he opened the door. "Thank you," said Krystal. After Wilbur had gone inside, Krystal walked back to her home, feeling really happy.
