Why does Haunter kept disappearing in Episode 23 Indigo League

Sweet Serenity, Nov 9: The Haunter in that episode was simply a wild Haunter that Ash befriended rather than captured and loved to joke around. Obviously, a wild Pokémon that is your friend isn't the same as one that is captured and therefore won't listen to you.
