To Austin's surprise, Delia—er, Mom—wasn't in front of the Ranch with the group of people from the Anime. Well, that's one thing that's different, Austin thought, knowing it would take a while to force himself to call Delia "Mom," but he didn't want to make her worry about what happened to the real 'Ash.'

"So, come on, Pikachu," Austin said, only for Pikachu to turn his head away from him.

"Pikachu. Pika Pi," Pikachu said, not even paying him any attention.

Right, Ash gained Pikachu's friendship because of the Spearow mess, Austin thought to himself as he wondered if he should instigate it to gain Pikachu's trust before shaking his head. No, I'm not going to pull that stunt.

Giving a sigh, Austin looked at Pikachu. "Come on, don't I get the benefit of the doubt for not putting you in the Pokéball?"

Pikachu just gave him a blank stare. "Pika Pi."

Now he wasn't sure what Pikachu said, but the tone sounded like an insult.

Then again, there's no way Pikachu would take him seriously in his pajamas.

Giving a sigh, Austin walked back to Prof. Oak's lab as Pikachu scratched his head with his foot before coming out wearing rubber gloves, and he picked Pikachu up, causing the Electric Mouse to try and electrocute him, and yet nothing was happening.

"I'll put you down in a few minutes, but I just want to go home and change out of these pajamas," Austin said to Pikachu as the Mouse gave him a death glare.

On making it to the house, Austin put Pikachu down, who growled at him. "Hey, you were the one that didn't want to go anywhere," he snapped as Pikachu's cheeks were sparking. "Look, can't we just have a compromise?"

Pikachu raised an eyebrow.

"We go through Route 1, and if you still don't like me by the time we get to Viridian, you can go your own way," Austin offered, holding out his hand. "Deal?"

Pikachu, however, frowned as he was expecting Austin to break the deal even if he agreed. "Pika Pi Chu Pika!"

"Ash, is that you?" Delia came out only to see Austin talking with Pikachu. "I was wondering when you would come back to get your stuff."

"Uh, yeah, I panicked when I woke up, Mrs—er, Mom," Austin said, hoping she didn't notice the slip-up.

Pikachu, however, gave Austin a curious glance, wondering what he was about to say. "Pika?"

"Oh, is that your Pokémon?" Delia bent down to pick him up as Austin panicked.

"Wait, D—er—Mom—"

Pikachu was about to electrocute her, only for Delia to rub a spot between his ears, and his mind thought of nothing but bliss as he smiled. "Chaa."

Austin stared in pure disbelief at that. Now, that's not fair.

"Your clothes are out on your bed," Delia said as Pikachu enjoyed the head rub.

"R-Right," Austin walked in and up the stairs, feeling a sense of familiarity for some odd reason as he made it to his—Ash's room—to see the clothes from the first three seasons on the bed.
