Chapter Three

"Young Lady, where have you been?" Misty yelled when Aelita closed the door. "I've been worried sick about you. I should ground you, but I'm not. You will just have to feed the 20 or 30 flocks of Altaria and make sure the 20 Arcanine don't get out of the backyard tomorrow." Misty said as Ash came in. "What's going on? Aelita, did you just get here?" Ash asked. "Yes, she did. I was very worried about our little Aelita (That could have mad me sick!). I thought I would have to call Officer Jenny to find her." Misty answered with tears in her eyes. "Aelita, you should have called Misty on your PokeNav and told her instead of having her sit here and worry half to death about you." Ash said. "I'm sorry. I just had to take this hurt Pichu to the Pokemon Center," Aelita explained. "May I go see if it's okay?" "If Misty goes with you." Ash replied. "Of course I'll go. Come on Aelita." Misty said as she lightly grabbed her arm and walked out the door. "You should better hope we send you home early, you black-haired brat!!" Misty said, making the grip on Aelita's arm tighter, and continued walking to the Pokemon Center.

(At the Pokemon Center)

"Hi, Nurse Joy, is Pichu okay?" Aelita asked. "Why, yes it is, Aelita. To say, she really likes you, Aelita. Do you have a Pokemon?" Nurse Joy asked. "No, but I think Pichu would be perfect." Aelita answered. "Well like they say "It is not the trainer who picks the Pokemon, but the Pokemon who picks the trainer" and Pichu picks you, Aelita. It is okay with you dad and step-mom if you have a Pokemon?" Nurse Joy asked again. "Well, I think..." Misty said as Nurse Joy interrupted. "Okay then. Aelita, here is your first Pokemon. There is something I have to tell you about your Pichu, Aelita. She cannot evolve, but she is every type and can learn every attack. So you should have no problem with Gym Leaders and their Pokemon." Nurse Joy said. "Take good care of her, Aelita." Nurse Joy added. "I will. Goodbye." Aelita said as she, Pichu, and Misty walked home.
