Crystal's Pokemon Adventure
Chapter 6
Arrival in Goldenrod City, the Goldenrod Gym battle and the Plain badges


               They walked for a little longer and then, they had finally reached Goldenrod City! They walked to the Pokemon Center, healed they're Pokemon and wanted to look around the town before they go in battle. They were walking around when they found a Bike Shop. When they went in, someone asked, "May I help you?". "Oh, yes! We'd like to buy a bike for each of us.", said Crystal. "Well, you came to the right place!", said the sales clark. "Wait. I thought that the Bike Shop was in Cerulean City.", said Thunder. "Sorry. I worked there, but we moved the shop here to Goldenrod.", said the sales clark. "Oh, ok.", said Thunder. They continued to look around when they had finally found the ones they wanted. Jen bought a yellow bike, Thunder bought a blue bike, and Crystal bought a purple bike. They also bought a little something called a Dinocap. They had got they're bikes into they're Dinocaps and were heading to look around some more. Then, they went to an underground place. There were trainers in there and the 3 of em took them all on in a battle, and Crystal, Thunder and Jen always won! Then, Crystal found something on the floor. She looked at it carefully and found out that is was a coin case. She had put it in her backpack and then they found guy sitting down at a counter. "Hello! I am the older and more experenced of the 2 hair cut brothers. May I help you?", asked the guy. "Oh. You cut Pokemon hair?", asked Crystal. "Yup.", said the guy. "Well, I guess. Come on out Beauty.", said Crystal. And then, Crystal's beautiful Vulpix came out of it's Pokeball. "You have a nice looking Vulpix.", said the guy. "Thanks! Um... do you think she need's a hair cut?", asked Crystal. "Well, I guess.", said the guy. The guy had cut Vulpix's hair a little. Then, when the guy was done, Beauty was so much prettier than before! Crystal and Jen gasp. "Beauty is so much prettier than before! Thank you so much!", said Crystal. "Sorry, my Pokemon are all boys and they are fine the way they are.", said Thunder. "Um... can you do my Mareep?", asked Jen. "Sure.", said the guy. "Ok! Go Mary!",yelled Jen. Jen's Mareep came out of it's Pokeball. Then, the guy was cutting Mareep's hair a little and then, it came out all sparkling. It was so cute! "Ohhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much! Mary is so much prettier than when I captured it!", said Jen. Then, the 3 of them went on. Just then, they found a door, but it was locked. So, they went back up to Goldenrod City and looked around some more. Just when they were going to make a second step away from the underground, Crystal's phone (Pokegear) rang. Crystal turned on her Pokegear and had just found out that it was... her mother. "Hi Crystal! How are you?", asked Crystal's mother, Marina. "Oh. Hi mom. I'm fine. How are you and Jack?", asked Crystal. Crystal really didn't want to know how her brother was doing. "Oh. I'm fine and so is your brother.", said Crystal's mom. "Hey Crystal. What city are you in and how many badges have you won?", asked a guy. "Jack? Well, I have 2 friends with me right now and we've all won 2 badges. We're in Goldenrod City right now.", said Crystal. "Man, Crystal. You are way faster than me. When I went on my Pokemon journey, by now, I'd still be in Azalea Town.", said Jack. Crystal, Thunder and Jen laughed at that. "Crystal, who are those 2 friends of your's?", asked Crystal's mom and brother. "Well, remember Jennifer? Well, I found her in Violet City. And, when I was in Cherrygrove City, I met Thunder.", said Crystal. "Well, hope you don't find another friend. You'll be so distracted.", said Jack. "SHUT UP, JACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!", yelled Crystal, "I have to go anyway. Call me again next week. Bye.". "Bye Crystal.", said Jack. "Bye Honey.", Crystal's mother said, as she started to cry. Crystal and her family hung up. "Well, aren't we going to the Pokemon Mart?", asked Jen. "Yeah. We can go now.", said Crystal. So, they walked and they found the Pokemon Mart. But, they were very surprised! The Pokemon Mart was so huge! (Me: Bet as big as Hagrid from Harry Potter. Hehehe!) They were about to walk in when Crystal's Pokegear rang again. But, this time it was Todd Camper. "Hey Crystal! Guess what! The Pokemon Mart in Goldenrod City is having a bargain sale on the rooftop. You, Thunder and Jen have to go there. Well, gotta go. Bye.", said Todd, as he hung up. He didn't even let Crystal say anything. "Well, I guess we'll go to the bargain sales.", Crystal said with a smile. Thunder blushed. Crystal thought that Thunder blushing was a little unusual. He was usually so serious, or just full of energy just for battles. Jen just smiled at Crystal. "Well, let's go.", said Jen. So, they walked in and went to the elevator and went to the rooftop. When they got there, there was a lot of people there! Crystal, Jen and Thunder managed to squeeze through all the people and finally get to the counter. "Hello. May I help you?", asked the sales clark. "Um, yes! What do you have?", asked Crystal. "Oh, just look.", said the sales clark. They looked around and found that they sold Antidotes, Full Heals, Pokedolls, Pokeballs and Great balls. They all bought 2 of each, but they each bought a bunch of Pokeballs and Great balls. So they could catch some more new Pokemon. Then after that, they found the arcade. They had to buy a Coin Case first, so Jen and Thunder bought one, when Crystal was about to pay for one, the guy asked what she was taking her money out of. She answered that she found it on the floor in the underground, and the guy explained that the little Coin Case she had was the one your supposed to use to hold your game coins. So, the 3 of them bought they're coins and started playing. Then, when they got tired, they just went to a motel. It was small, but it was cheap.


                 That morning, Crystal and Thunder woke up in the same bed! They both blushed, while Jen just smiled and made breakfast. After they ate, they got dressed in they're usual clothes and had set out for the Radio Tower. When they were in front of the tower, they saw a man standing in front of the tower wearing black and wearing a black coat, and it probably was 90 degrees out. It didn't bother Crystal, Thunder or Jen, but this guy looked suspicious. They ran right into him while trying to run into the Radio Tower, and he yelled, "Beat it!". Crystal, Thunder and Jen walked into the Radio Tower and found a woman at the counter. She said that if they could answer 5 questions right, they will get a radio for they're Pokegears. They all took the test and got em all right! Then, the woman gave them each a Radio Card and they had put it on they're Pokegears. Then, they went into the next room. They went to an orange haired woman, and she said, "Oh, you all have Radio Cards? Well, here's a little something.". The woman gave each of them another little card, but it was called a Blue Card. You store your points in it. She told them that her name was Buena and that she was the host of her radio show called 'Buena's Password'. It was on from 6:00 pm to 12:00 am. If they tuned in to the radio show and got the password, they were supposed to go see her and she'll give them each a point. They can trade they're points for cool prizes! Then, they were wanting to go to the next floor, when they got to the stair way, a man blocked it. "Sorry, you can't go through. The director is acting a little werid.", said the man. And then, Crystal, Thunder and Jen just went on, back outside. Then, they went straight to the Gym. When they got there, there was a girl there. She said that she was the Gym Leader, Whitney. Then, they went into the Gym and were going to start the battle off with Jen vs Whitney. "Go Lynda!", yelled Jen. "Go Miltank!", yelled Whitney. "Lynda, use Ember!", yelled Jen. "Use Rollout, Miltank!", yelled Whitney. Charmander dodged Miltank's attack and used Ember. Miltank was beaten. Next, Thunder. "Go Onix!", yelled Thunder. "Miltank, use Rollout!", yelled Whitney. "Onix, dodge it and use Bind attack!", yelled Thunder. Miltank tried to use Rollout on Thunder's Onix, but Onix dodged it and used Bind. Miltank was out of the battle. Miltank got all healed and was ready to fight again. It was Crystal's turn now. It was not going to be very easy now that Miltank is at full heath. They got to the arena, and went into battle. "Go Watery!", yelled Crystal. "Go Miltank! Use your Rollout!", yelled Whitney. "Dodge it and Water Gun!", yelled Crystal. Whitney's Miltank used Rollout as it was told, but Crystal's Totodile dodged it and used Water Gun. Miltank fell over onto the ground. "Good job, Watery! Now, use your Razor Leaf!", yelled Crystal. "Wait, Totodile is a Water-type Pokemon, not a Grass-type.", said Whitney. "My Totodile's special.", said Crystal. "You mean it can actually use Razor Leaf?", asked Whitney. Just then, Crystal's Totodile used Razor Leaf, and defeated Miltank! "This isn't over yet, Crystal. Go Clefairy!", yelled Whitney, "Clefairy, use Doubleslap!". "Hurry and dodge it, Watery!", yelled Crystal. Clefairy was close enough to use Doubleslap and when it was about to hit Totodile, Totodile hurried up and dodged it. Then, Totodile used Razor Leaf. Clefairy got hit badly with the Razor Leaf attack, but was still willing to fight. "Watery, use Rage and Water Gun!", yelled Crystal. Watery used Rage and ran super fast at Clefairy, then when Watery was close enough, it let a powerful Water Gun out of it's mouth. Clefairy has been defeated, Crystal won! "Good match! It's been a while since anybody won against me.", said Whitney. Just then, Crystal's Totodile started to glow bright white. "What's happening to my Totodile?", asked Crystal. "Um... I think Watery's evolving.", said Jen. Then, when Totodile stopped glowing, Crystal's Totodile wasn't there anymore. In it's place, stood it's new evolved form, Croconaw. Crystal took her Pokedex out, and pointed it at her Croconaw.


  Pokedex: "Croconaw, a Water-type Pokemon. Croconaw is the second evolutionary stage of Totodile. This Pokemon has a monstrous jaw that it uses very well in battle! When it clamps down on an opponent, it may lose one of its 48 fangs in the struggle-but not to worry, it will always grow another fang if it loses any!"


  "Wow! My Totodile just evolved into a Croconaw. When Watery was a Totodile, it looked a little more cuter, but this is a little bit cooler.", said Crystal. Croconaw ran up to Crystal and jumped right into her arms. Crystal smiled. "I think these belong to the 3 of you.", said Whitney, as she held out her hand. There, in her hand were the 3 Plain Badges they needed. They each got they're badge and thanked Whitney one more time. Then, they went to the Pokemon Center. After they got they're Pokemon back, they went on the road to Ecruteak City.
