                                               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.
