A stubborn menace.
Never give up…Don't ever admit defeat…
Have strength in yourself…
You can and will do it…
Nothing is impossible…
" Chikorita, don't be such a spoilt sport! Come and eat with Pichu, " Katherine urged.
The grass type pokemon turned its back to the bowl of food. It seemed obvious that it was not only stubborn but jealous and proud too.
Without warning, Chikorita came barreling directly towards Pichu! A few seconds later, the cute yellow electric pokemon was flung aside.
" Chikorita, I didn't ask you to tackle Pichu! I asked you to eat with Pichu! " the eight-year-old scolded. " This is too much! "
Chikorita looked at Katherine cradling her Pichu in her arms, with a hurt look in her eyes. Then it took off downstairs and out the opened door.
" Chikorita, please come back! " the poor child called out after her runaway pokemon.
She knew that it was no use…
She had hurt its feelings…
At that moment, she felt really helpless.
" I have to make my move only after dark…"
For now, he would have to watch the lab from the shadows and wait for the right time to strike. Just then, a bush nearest to him, rustled.
Startled, he moved deeper into the shadows to conceal himself. His eyes widened in shock.
" Isn't that the Chikorita…which belongs to the girl? " he asked himself. " What is it doing here? "
It seemed to him that the grass pokemon did not want to leave. This was sure to interfere with his plans.
" Looks like I've got to force the pokemon to leave! " he clenched his fist. " If anyone gets in Leon's way, he'll be crushed… "
" Come on, Pichu. Let's go find Chikorita… on our own, " the young trainer urged.
The electric mouse nodded in agreement.
" We still have a few more minutes before sunset. We've got to hurry! "
The two then headed towards the grounds of Professor Elm's lab.
" Chikorita, where are you? " Katherine called out.
All of a sudden, there was a frantic cry, which seemed familiar.
" Chikorita is in trouble! " she gasped frantically.
