Crystal , also known as for short, is a specialist at capturing Pokémon, hired by Professor Oak. As a child, she fell after getting startled by an Arcanine, and broke both of her arms. Because of the accident, she learned to catch Pokémon by kicking Poké Balls, a habit she has kept long after her arms healed. She has many Pokémon before first appearing, but her "starter" Pokémon is a Chikorita which escaped from Professor Elm's laboratory, desperate to go on a journey. Her Pokémon include a Smoochum (named Chumee), a Hitmonchan (Monlee), a Parasect (Parasee), an Arcanine (Archy), a Natu (Natee), and a Cubone (Bonee). She is chosen by Suicune, a legendary Pokémon to help defeat the Mask of Ice. She dispatches Emerald to the Battle Frontier to find and capture Jirachi, as a way to free Silver, Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow from stone. Crys is usually gentle and amiable, but also has a serious and perhaps intimidating side when it comes to working. Her aggressive and enthusiastic attitude in Pokémon capturing overwhelms Oak, terrifies Bill, and Gold is fond of calling her the "Representative of Club Serious". In the Emerald series, she successfully gets Ruby and Sapphire to join her side in scorning Gold's bragging, although the same cannot be said for Emerald. Crys currently works as Oak's assistant, and stations either at his Kanto, Johto, or Hoenn Science Lab branch. According to the series, she has captured at least one of every non-legendary Pokémon in the world and has completed the Pokédex in every incarnation. Crys's design is based on the female protagonist of Pokémon Crystal, the third sequel to Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver. Her appearance is almost identical to her game counterpart, with the exception of a pair of star-shaped earrings, and her hair colour, which is dark blue instead of the game character's greenish-blue. In the HeartGold and SoulSilver arc, Crystal returns as the main character. She is forced by her mother to wear clothes similar to those of Lyra, the female protagonist in the Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver games. She was voted as the twelfth most popular character in the series in Japan 2011. Hoenn Pokédex Holders Ruby is a Trainer from the Johto region. He moves with his mother to Hoenn to live closer to his father Norman, the Gym Leader of Petalburg City. Despite being a Gym Leader's son, Ruby
