Crystal (Adventures): Difference between revisions

birthday=April 30 |  

Crystal is an expert in capturing Pokémon, a skill she developed when she was young. After accident during her childhood that left her arms broken, Crystal learned to kick [[Poké Ball]]s 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.  

Crystal is first seen at her workplace, at [[Earl Dervish]]'s Pokémon Academy in [[Violet City]]. She is hired by {{adv|Professor Oak}} to help his Pokémon research by capturing Pokémon to fill up her [[Pokédex]]. She agrees to help the professor under the condition that he help repair the Dervish's rundown academy, which was later fulfilled.  

After capturing all known Pokémon in [[Cherrygrove City]] and giving them to Oak, Crystal departs on her journey. After leaving, [[Professor Elm]] complains that he wasn't able to meet with Crystal and give her his {{p|Chikorita}}. Disappointed, Elm tells Chikorita that since Crystal already has a full team of Pokémon, she wouldn't want Chikorita on her team anyway. Angered by this, Chikorita attacks Elm and runs off to try find Crystal. Chikorita follows Crystal all the way to {{rt|30|Johto}}, where it attempts to convince her to let it join her team. Although she initially finds its too weak in comparison to her other team members, Chikorita's determination impresses Crystal enough to let it join her team. Crystal nicknames her new teammate [[Megaree]] and has it and {{p|Smoochum|Chumee}} switch places on her party. Upon arriving at [[Violet City]], Crystal is shocked to discover the Pokémon Transporter System is down for the entire Johto region. She decides to call Professors Oak and Elm to inform them about her situation and that she found Megaree and added it to her team. Afterward she goes to the outskirts of Violet City to capture more Pokémon. There, she meets {{adv|Bill}}, who gives Crystal a portable transporter so that she may be able to transport her captured Pokémon to Professor Oak even while the normal Transporter System is down.  

Upon arriving, Crystal passes by the Battle Tower, a future attraction that is still under construction. A septic tank from the construction bursts, causing waste to spill out. Crystal manages to save the workers, but the waste spills into the sea, causing a wild {{p|Qwilfish}} to be enraged. Crystal captures the Qwilfish, but soon discovers another Qwilfish in danger of dying from absorbing the waste. She tries to take the Qwilfish to the [[Pokémon Center]], but is startled by the appearance of {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Suicune}}. Suicune uses its powers to purify the sea and heal the sick Qwilfish. After it leaves, Crystal becomes enamored with Suicune and sets out to capture it. With the Pokémon tracking system on her Pokédex, Crystal begins following after Suicune in hopes of managing to capture it.

On {{rt|39|Johto}}, Crystal continues following after Suicune's trail. There, she encounters [[Eusine]], another person who is aiming to meet Suicune. Due to their similar goals, Eusine declares Crystal to be his rival. Later, Crystal and Eusine encounter Suicune, but it turns out to be {{p|Ditto}} in {{m|Transform|disguise}} sent by [[Team Rocket]] to throw them off of the real Suicune's trail. After defeating the Ditto, Crystal and Eusine realize that someone must be after Suicune and set off to stop them. Crystal uses {{p|Parasect|Parasee}}'s {{m|Spore}} to put the pursuers to sleep and help Suicune to escape. Crystal and Eusine then set off to help Suicune, but Eusine leaves to face the pursuers while Crystal continues following after Suicune. Crystal tracks Suicune and arrives at the [[Burned Tower]], where she battles to try and capture it. Despite her best efforts, Crystal is unable to capture Suicune and is defeated. After Eusine comes to help her, Crystal realizes that Suicune's goal was to meet with its master, {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Ho-Oh}}, at the [[Bell Tower]]. Coming to the conclusion that she prevented Suicune from achieving its goal, Crystal breaks down crying for failing to understand Suicune's intentions and getting in its way.The shock at her failure causes Crystal to lose her confidence in capturing, causing her to fail capturing even weak Pokémon. On {{rt|42|Johto}}, Crystal meets with her mother, who was passing by at the time.  

While she and Gold distract Guile, Crystal instructs Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire to train in an invisible room created by her {{p|Mr. Mime|Mymee}} so that their Pokémon can learn the ultimate moves {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. They are eventually defeated, but managed to stall Guile long enough for the Hoenn Pokédex holders to finish their training. After Emerald manages to have Jirachi reverse the petrified Pokédex holders' condition, all ten Pokédex holders team up to battle Guile one last time. With a combination of a triple Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon, and {{m|Volt Tackle}}, the ten Pokédex holders destroy Guile's sea demon, finally defeating him for good. With Guile defeated, the Pokédex holders celebrate their victory and decide to participate in a tournament at the Battle Dome. Crystal also participates, but is defeated by Green in the first round.

After Arceus leaves with Team Rocket following after it, Silver returns with all sixteen Plates. He finds Crystal unconscious and in a tree and takes her to the [[Ruins of Alph]], where Gold is battling with Arceus. Upon arriving, the Plates react to Arceus's presences, allowing Crystal, Silver, and the Four Generals into Arceus's barrier. With the Plates in the near vicinity, Arceus opens the portal to the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. After the Johto Pokédex holders awaken, they go inside the ruins to find the Four Generals attempting to drag Arceus onto the Mystri Stage. Crystal, Silver, and Gold fight to stop the Generals' plan, but are stopped by Ariana, Petrel, and Proton. With the Plates, Archer forces Arceus to create the Legendary Pokémon {{adv|Dialga}}, {{adv|Palkia}}, and {{adv|Giratina}}. Silver attempts to keep Team Rocket distracted while Crystal and Gold use Megaree, [[Exbo]], and {{TP|Silver|Feraligatr}} to destroy the Legendary Pokémon before they are fully formed with the ultimate moves. The attack successfully destroys the Legendary Pokémon, allowing Arceus to defeat the Generals and take back the Plates into its body. Despite this victory, Arceus begins reforming the Legendary Pokémon in order to enact its revenge on humanity.  

|desc={{p|Cubone|Bonee}} (Japanese: '''カラぴょん''' ''Karapyon'') is another one of her childhood Pokémon that helped her recover after she broke her arms on Mt. Mortar. She uses him as a secondary battler but mainly for False Swipe so he can whittle down a Pokémon's HP. He has two natural star-shaped cracks in its skull helmet. Bonee was lent to Emerald along with Monlee for Emerald's Battle Pyramid challenge. As of ''[[PS450|With a Little Help From Hitmonchan]]'', he is level 73, has a Lonely nature, and his [[Characteristic]] is "highly persistent."}}

|desc={{p|Starmie}} is used along with Rapidash in the first round of the Battle Pike, as it was able to defeat the computer player. Later, Starmie is called out to go up against Lucy's Shuckle. Shuckle is able to poison Starmie, but Shuckle is quickly defeated by Surf. After Shuckle is defeated, its next opponent is Milotic. Despite Starmie being poisoned, it is able to defeat Milotic and fainted afterward.

|desc={{p|Alakazam}} was used in both the Battle Pyramid and Battle Dome. In the Battle Pyramid, it was mostly used to help Emerald escape the wild Pokémon that came up to them and the computer players. In the Battle Dome, it went up against Tucker's Charizard in the last minute and fell to its {{m|Earthquake}}. It is unknown if this is the same Alakazam that Crystal caught in ''[[PS121|Off Course with Corsola]]'' or a different one.
