Crystal (Japanese: クリスタル, abbreviated to クリス Crys, or Chris in Chuang Yi translations) is the seventh main character of the manga series Pokémon Special. Due to a bad fall she took as a child, breaking her arms, she learned to kick Poké Balls with her feet. Although by now her arms have been completely healed, Crystal has retained the habit of kicking her Poké Balls instead of throwing them. She has caught all non-legendary Pokémon for Professor Oak; more than any of the other characters in Pokémon Special.
She later adds Hoenn Pokémon to her collection and apparently begins to work full-time as one of Professor Oak's assistants. Crystal's Pokémon collection is used by Emerald when he goes to the Battle Frontier.
Crystal's special skill, as described by Professor Oak, is Pokémon catching, and she is known as the "Capturer" (捕える者 Capturer).
Pokémon
Her "starter" Pokémon was a Chikorita which escaped from Professor Elm's lab, longing to go on a journey. It should be noted, however, that Chikorita was not her first Pokémon, as she by her introduction already owned six. All of Crystal's party Pokémon have a symbol of a star somewhere on them. Some wear star necklaces or stickers, but her Cubone and Parasect had natural markings in the shape of stars.
The suffix "ee" (Japanese: "pyon") of the nicknames of her Pokémon was insisted by her mother, who named everyone except Chikorita.
Here is the list of Crystal's personal Pokémon (updated to the end of Emerald Saga), although aside from these she's also captured every single one from Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn, except legendary Pokémon.
On hand
 →  →  Chikorita → Bayleef → Meganium♂ Mega (Lv.42) |
 Smoochum♀ Chumee (Lv.29) |
 Parasect♀ Parasee (Lv.45) | ||
 → Natu → Xatu♀ Natee (Lv.44) |
 Arcanine♂ Arckee (Lv.53) |
 Mr. Mime Mimee (Lv.44) | ||
- Mega was a starter Pokémon under Professor Elm's care. With his friends setting out on a journey (Cyndaquil with Gold and Totodile with Silver), Mega wanted to set out on a journey as well. After some convincing, Crys let Mega join the team. Mega is a very bold Pokémon, and is willing to get himself hurt to help others, as seen with the battle against Larvitar, in which he evolved into Bayleef. He evolved again to a Meganium in the Whirl Islands.
- Chumee is Crystal's childhood Pokémon and possibly her first one. Not used for battle, but to trap wild Pokémon with Mean Look. It is also shown to help her whenever she is assisting Professor Oak in his laboratory.
- During her training to become a a capture master on Mt. Mortar, Arckee, enraged by an injury in his eye, went rampaging on her, causing her to fall and break her arms. After the trainer realized that the Pokémon was not aggressive by nature, he joined her team. Parasee, Natee, Hitmonee and Bonee, wild Pokémon that helped Crystal after the accident, also joined her team at the same time. Arckee and Natee serve as Crystal's main transport means while the other three help her capture wild Pokémon.
- Mimee is the most recent addition to Crystal's team. Not much is known about it as of yet, only that is has the ability to create invisible walls and rooms, much like Sabrina's Mr. Mime.
