With the thing that Misty picked up safely in her pocket, she and Ash
continued through Angel City, looking for both a Pokemon Center and the
mysterious stranger they had encountered.
"What was that thing that you picked up, Misty?" Ash asked. Misty pulled a slip of paper out of her pocket. "I picked it up when that guy disappeared," she said, handing it to him. "It looks like a piece of map or something."
"Hey, there's a Pokemon Center" Ash said, handing it back to her. "We can look at it better there. Let's go!" He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards it.
*This is getting to be a common occurrence* Misty thought. *Not that I'm complaining.* They got into the Pokemon Center and Ash heard his name being called.
"Is there an Ash Ketchum here?" Nurse Joy's pleasant voice called above the din.
"I'm Ash," he said, walking up to the counter with Misty in tow.
"You have a message from Professor Oak to give him a call."
"Thanks" he said. He walked over to the vidphone and dialed the Professor. "Hey Professor, you wanted me?"
"Why hello Ash!" Professor Oak greeted him. "I have your Pikachu for you."
"Awesome!" Ash replied. "Is he okay?" Pikachu had gotten sick, and none of the Joys knew what to do, so Ash had no choice but to send him back to Pallet town to the Professor.
"He's just fine now. Shall I begin the transport process?"
"Yes sir!" Ash knew Pikachu hated Poke balls, but someone had invented a new type of transporter that could send Pokemon without the Poke balls.
"Thanks Professor!" Ash said as Pikachu jumped into his arms. He then ended the connection.
"Pika pi!" the little yellow mouse chirped.
"Pikachu" Ash said, hugging him. "I missed you." He put Pikachu down and knelt to his level. "You came back at the right time, buddy. Do you know anything about a Pokemon called a Diota?"
Pikachu got a thoughtful look on his face then shook his head. "Pika?"
"Supposedly it's a legendary Pokemon" Ash explained. He told Pikachu about how when they got to the city they met the stranger and about the map piece. "Whaddya think, buddy?" he asked.
While they conversed, Misty sat studying the piece of map she found. It was like a photo of the sky, with an odd formation of clouds. Almost like buildings. Was that possible? A city in the clouds?
"Wassup Misty?" Ash said, sitting next to her.
"I'm trying to make something of this map" she replied. If you look here," she pointed. "it almost looks like a building."
"That could just be your imagination." Ash said.
"No, it's not" Misty argued. "Look!" She thrust it into his face. "See?"
"I don't see anything Mist," he said, staring at it. "It's just a bunch of clouds. It's nothing."
"It IS Ash!" Misty insisted. "It looks like a city in the clouds!"
"Mist, I knew you had an overactive imagination, but this is nothing!" Ash practically shouted. "For all we know, it's a little kid's drawing!"
Misty stood up with tears in her eyes. "You're wrong, Ash Ketchum" she whispered. "And I'll prove it." She left Togepi and ran out of the Center.
"Misty!" Ash called behind her. "Pikachu, watch Togepi." He sprinted after her, but when he got outside, she was nowhere to be seen. "MISTY!!"

Well! That's quite a place to leave off. Don't worry, I'm hoping to make next chapter longer.
