The Chikorita Challenge (Pokémon Classic Chapter Book #11): Volume 21

I already have the book anyway. As for you people without the book, it's about when Ash, Misty, Brock, Pikachu,and Togepi meet a beginner trainer named Casey who started out with an ADORABLE Chikorita. When Mr. "Show-Off-Big-Mouth" Ash insults Casey's favorite baseball team, she challenges him to a pokemon battle. She loses easily. Thinking she betrayed the Electabuzz baseball team, she runs away with tears in her eyes. Casey then bumps into 'losers' Team Rocket. The trio convinces Casey that Ash cheated during the battle. Furious, Casey takes off to find him. Will Team Rocket finally sucseed in catching Pikachu AND Chikorita?Then, Ash encounters a wild Chikorita. Wanting to add it to his team, he battles it. Soon Ash realizes the Chikorita is stubborn. "No problem" he says. But then Chikorita gets wounded really badly. Too worried to capture the little pokemon, Ash and Co. take poor Chikorita to the P.C. Nurse Joy assures them it will be fine. T.R. then steals the "rare" grass pokemon. Ash and Pikachu chase after them up a mountain. Chikorita reluctuntly runs off. Will Chikorita ever gain Ash's trust?Finally, a few days later, Ash gets his chance to try out his new Chikorita. Battling a speedy Ratticate, Chikorita gets tired. Ash decides to use his Pikachu; but Chikorita hears him. So, it decides to ruin the battle for Pikachu. But it ruins the battle for Ash too. Ash scolds his Chikorita and hurts it's feelings without realizing it. Then, in the P.C., Chikorita refuses to talk to Ash, to Pikachu, or to anyone else! Nurse Joy then comes over and has a session with Ash and Chikorita. She then explains Chikorita is JEALOUS of Pikachu!! That night Chikorita runs away from Ash. Pikachu goes after it. T.R. finds out and go after them. Will Chikorita ever overcome it's jealousy? Chikorita is my favorite pokemon (which explains the title). I think it was DUMB when Ash had to yell at a poor lil' innocent pokemon for nothin'. So that explains the 4 stars.

This is a realy good book. It is one that you should have in your collection.It is the coolest. Chickorita is the cutest in the book. I rate it 10000000000000000000000000 out of 10.
