Chapter 44
Rolly-Poke

Ash finally snapped out of his trance to see that Misty was on a metal bench a small distance away, digging through the shopping bag.  He hussled over to the bench and plopped himself next to her.

"What are you looking for?" He asked, leaning in slightly to looking into the bag.

"The Pokemon. Don't you think it's sick that they sell them?" She asked, "Ah-Ha! Found them." She said, pulling out the box holding the Pokeballs.

"I was just thinking the same thing. But it wasn't there long, and it was the last one. Or the only one..."

"Well, let's see what type of Pokemon they are." Misty's face beamed, "The box says there is a boy and a girl; the girl's in the Premier Ball and the boy's in the Premier Ball that has a small sticker on it." She ripped the Pokeballs out of the box and checked for the one with a sticker, which she gave to Ash.

Ash didn't get any time to respond, Misty had already pressed the button to release her Pokemon. Ash quickly did the same.

To both of their suprizes, it was not a dull Pokemon, but one Pokemon they have never seen before and one they were somewhat familiar with. Out had popped a Gardevoir and a Gallade. Gardevoir was the female, Gallade was the male.
The Pokemon were looking around, as if looking at the area for the first time. Suddenly, their eyes fell upon an excited Misty and a rather confused Ash. The two stood up, only to be embraced by their new Pokemon. Gallade's hug surprized Ash and the Pokeball slipped out of his hand. It started rolling across the pavement. Ash darted after it.

The Pokeball rolled through peoples' feet, amazingly without getting stepped on.  Ash continued to follow it, pushing through the crowd.  He was about to stick his hand out and grab it, when it suddenly stopped. He stared at the thing that had stopped it.
