Crystal Pokemon Adventure 
                                                        Chapter 7
                     Leaving Goldenrod City, and the Bug-Catching Contest


                Crystal, Thunder, and Jen left Goldenrod City just 1 or 2 minutes  ago, and they were already in a battle. Well, at least Crystal was.


               "Ember attack, Daisy!", Crystal yelled. "Use Doubleslap, Clefable!", yelled another trainer. Crystal had 4 Houndooms, and wanted to train, at least, one of them a week. And today, she was training Howly's girlfriend, Daisy. Daisy has dodged Clefable's Doubleslap, and used an Ember attack on it's back. The Clefable wanted to keep going, it struggled to stand up again, but it fainted. "Yay, Daisy!", Crystal yelled, as she ran to Daisy, and Daisy jumped into Crystal arms. Daisy started licking Crystal, and Crystal laughed. "Hehehehehe! Stop that! That tickles!", Crystal laughed. Daisy wouldn't stop, she just loved Crystal so much. Thunder, Jen, and that trainer Crystal won against, were all laughing, too. Then, 3 minutes later, Daisy finally stopped licking Crystal. Crystal battled a lot, but Jen was just looking for a battle with wild Pokemon, so she could capture them, and Thunder was battling all the boy trainers, he didn't want any of them getting soft with Crystal, so Thunder battled the boys. Then, after battling with a bit to much trainers, Crystal and Thunder got a little tired, and there were just 2 more trainers to go. Crystal battled with Juggler Irwin, and Thunder battled with the circus Flame Eater. After Crystal's match, the Juggler asked for her number, so maybe they could chat or battle again. So, Crystal decided to get his number. Then, they left inside a little building. "Hello. Would any of you 3 like to enter the Bug-catching contest?", asked a person who was in the building. "B-B-Bugs?????", Crystal asked in horror. She didn't like bugs. She only liked Butterfree, and that's it. "Yes, bugs. It's a Bug Pokemon catching contest. Third place winner will get a Gold Berry, second place winner will get an Everstone, and first place winner will get a Sunstone.", said the person. Crystal almost always wanted a Sunstone, but she didn't want to risk that. She didn't like bug Pokemon at all. "Sunstones are one of the most prettiest stones, wish I could get 1, but I'm scared of bug Pokemon.", Crystal said in a whisper so no one would hear her, but Thunder heard her. "I'll enter the contest. Sign me up.", Thunder said to the guy. "Ok.", the guy said. The guy looked at Thunder's pokeballs and said, "Oh-no. you have more than 1 Pokemon, please, choose the Pokemon you would like to use in the contest.", the guy said. "That's easy, my Cyndaquil of course.", Thunder said. "Already then. You signed up. Oh, and take these, everyone in the contest is supposed to use Parkballs instead of Pokeballs.", the guy said, as he handed Thunder the Parkballs. Thunder took the balls, and Jen, Crystal, and Thunder walked outside. Crystal and Jen were gonna wait, and sit down on a bench, while Thunder went to find a strong bug Pokemon. Crystal wondered why he was doing this, but just ignored that question. Thunder found a really strong Pinsir, it was at level 19, best level! His Cyndaquil used Flamethrower, and the Pinsir fainted. He was ready. He went back to the girls, and the 3 of them went to the other building. Thunder told the guy there that he was done, and the guy said to wait for the others to come in. After 6 minutes of waiting, all the other people who entered the contest were there. "Ok. In third place, with 307 points, is Cindy Picnicker, who caught a Butterfree.", said the the guy who worked there, as he handed her a Gold Berry. "In second place, with 468 points, is Cool Trainer Nick, who caught Scyther.", the guy said, as he handed Nick an Everstone. "And in first place, with 879 points, is Thunder Jasons, who caught Pinsir!", the guy exclaimed, as he handed Thunder a Sunstone. Thunder turned to look at Crystal. "Crystal...", Thunder started. "What is it, Thunder?", Crystal asked. "Crystal, I won this for you.", Thunder said, as he handed her the Sunstone and blushed a light red. Crystal was standing there, surprised. "Thunder, I don't know what to say. But, thank you.", Crystal said. She was a bit to happy, that she gave Thunder a peck on the cheek. That made him blush, and Crystal blushed a bit, too. Crystal had put the Sunstone in her backpack, and they started for Ecruteak City again. They got out of the building, and had to battle again. With a Psycho trainer, and Schoolboy Alan. Alan wasn't a bad trainer, and Crystal wanted to battle him again, after they battled. So, Crystal got his number. Then, once again, they were walking to Ecruteak City, but there was a girl next to a tree blocking the way to Ecruteak City. A girl was there, and Crystal asked, "Excuse me... do you know what that tree is there for? We're trying to get to Ecruteak City." "Oh, I'm sorry. I can't get it out of the way. But, here.", the girl said, as she handed Crystal a Squirtbottle. "What's this?", Crystal asked, but when she looked up to look at the girl, she was gone. "Well, I guess I'll get the tree wet.", Crystal said, as she squirt the tree with water a couple of times. The tree started to move, it wasn't a tree, it was a... "Sudowoodo", it said. Crystal, and Jen jumped and gasped. It was a Pokemon.


  Crystal pulled her Pokedex out, and it said:  "Sudowoodo, a Ground and Rock-type Pokemon. This Pokemon is a mystery. Although it disguises itself and often pretends to be a tree to avoid detection and attack, it's composition appears to be closer to a rock than a plant. That being said, Sudowoodo hates water (like Rock Pokemon should), so they will disappear if it starts raining."


                 "Oh. It's a Rock, and Ground-type? Thunder, I think this is your type of Pokemon, don't you think?", Jen asked. "I guess.", Thunder said, with a smirk, "Go Cyndaquil!" Cyndaquil came out of it's Pokeball, and was ready to fight. Sudowoodo made the first move, it used Rock Throw. "Dodge it, Cyndaquil!", Thunder yelled. Cyndaquil dodged it, and used Ember. It didn't affect Sudowoodo very much, after all, Fire-types were weak against Rock and Ground-types. So, this won't be easy. Sudowoodo used it's Low Kick, and hit Cyndaquil, then, Sudowoodo used another Rock Throw, which really weakened Cyndaquil a bit to much. Cyndaquil was to weak, it couldn't go on. Thunder ran to his first Pokemon, and whispered, "You did your best, Cyndaquil." But, just then, Cyndaquil started glowing bright white, just like Totodile in the Goldenrod Gym. When the white light was gone, there, in Cyndaquil's place, stood a Quilava.


  Crystal took her Pokedex out again, and it said: "Quilava, a Fire, Volcano-type Pokemon. Quilava is the second evolutionary stage of Cyndaquil. This Fire Pokemon is totally covered with non-flameable fur so it can withstand ANY flame attack! If you find yourself facing the backside of one of these fiery Pokemon, watch out cause that usually means it's about to launch a huge flame attack on it's opponent."


                "Wow! My Cyndaquil evolved!", Thunder yelled, "Now, let's get that Sudowoodo, eh, Quilava?" "Quil! (Yeah!)", said Quilava. "Quilava, use Smokescreen and Tackle!", yelled Thunder. Quilava went in front of Sudowoodo, and used Smokescreen, and it gave a long, but fast run towards the Sudowoodo, and it was finally defeated. "Pokeball Go!", Thunder yelled, as he threw a Pokeball at it. The Sudowoodo went into the ball, and the ball was shaking, the Sudowoodo was trying to get out. It tried, and tried, but was a bit weakened. Then, it finally gave up. Thunder now had a Sudowoodo. Crystal and Jen cheered, that was a really powerful Pokemon, and Thunder had beaten it, and caught it! Crystal ran at Thunder and hugged him. "Boy, you've really gotten stronger, Thunder. How about we battle after we get our Fog Badges?" Crystal asked, in excitment. "No problem, Crystal. We can battle then.", Thunder answered. Crystal and Thunder wanted to be the very best, and Jen was just getting the badges cause she thought that were pretty, and wanted a collection. Jen really didn't wanna go to the Pokemon League. She think's that she's not ready for that harder stuff, besides, she wanted to just learn more about the badges, Gyms, Citys, and learn all she could about Fire Pokemon.
