Chapter 11: Fly Again, Chatot
Serena skips down the path to Oreburgh City with Dawn and Ash trailing behind. As they near the Oreburgh Tunnel, she spots a net hanging from a tree. "What is that?" She asks, hurrying over to it.
The net wriggles around until she lets Chimchar out of his Pokemon. "Chimchar! Use Scratch!" Chimchar cuts the top of the net, causing it to fall to the ground. The net cries out. "Chat! Chatot!"
Serena quickly unravels it, revealing a hurt Chatot in distress. "Hello, there. I've never seen a Pokemon like you before. Are you hurt?" The Chatot screeches.
Dawn and Ash catch up. "Serena! What is it?" Ash asks.
Dawn looks down. "Wow, look at that Chatot!" She pauses and looks at its red and yellow wings. "I've never seen a Chatot with that coloring before."
Ash nods. "It must be a shiny Chatot."
Serena turns around. "This Chatot is hurt. Its wing is tangled up in the net!" Her fingers poke through the bottom of the net, starting to free Chatot's wing. "It's okay, Chatot. Serena's here to help you."
Chatot helps to tear the net by cutting it with its beak. Soon, it is free of the net and it tries to fly. Flapping her wings, the Chatot tries to take off in vain. "Chat! Chatot!" She cries.
Serena picks Chatot up. "We should get you to the nearest Pokemon Center. Your wing looks broken." She returns Chimchar and cradles the bird Pokemon in her arms. "Let's go to Oreburgh City. I hope there's a Pokemon Center there." The heroes walk up and into the Oreburgh Tunnel, hurrying through and arriving in the large mining city of Oreburgh. "Wow! Look at Oreburgh City!"
Chatot looks up at the view and weakly grins. Ash leads the others to the Pokemon Center and they walk inside. "Nurse Joy! This Chatot's wing is broken! Please fix it!"
Nurse Joy turns around and a Chansey with a stretcher comes out to wheel Chatot away. Serena places Chatot down. "You'll be fixed up in no time, Chatot! I promise." Chatot caws at her as she enters the exam rooms.
Serena turns to Ash. "Well now that we're here, don't you think it's time for you to enter the Oreburgh Tournament?"
