And let's not forget her eventual release, which basically made this whole trading part kind of pointless...
I think that was simply because the writers were probably under mandate to get a Generation II starter onto someone's team. Satoshi had a full squad and Takeshi already had Usokkie so it had to be Hikari (given that I actually believe the writers intended to give her a Togekiss late in the game).
It does make Satoshi declaring he'll see Aipom in the Grand Festival a bit of unintentional comedy.
