Ash, Victoria, and Acerola are now at the Night Club, as it is time for them to have another new mission. They find Archer at the counter as they ask him for the details.
Archer: Emergency for you, ace. Apparently something's going down in Ametrine Mountain. And by "going down in Ametrine Mountain," I mean "Ametrine Mountain itself is going down," if we don't do something.
Ash: What do you mean by that?
Archer: The mountain is melting from the inside out. We think something spawned in there. You'll have to do some swimming to get to the very center of the mountain but look for an icy area. Or a formerly icy area, perhaps. It may even be connected to Celestinine. Apparently, the damage is worst there. Good luck.
Victoria: The Ametrine Mountain is melting? Do you think it is another Anomaly?
Ash: Let me think...I have Moltres, Entei, Victini, Volcanion...I think I've got it...it might be Heatran.
Acerola: Then let's go there as soon as possible.
The fastest way to get to Celestine Mountain is by flying to Amaria's gym and then surfing through the Basement. Ash remembers that B3F has a giant ice structure. After getting there, they manage to arrive at Ametrine Core, even though they are in a snowy cave, they feel hot inside.
Victoria: No kidding...this place is too hot...
Acerola: Yeah, I feel like I'm going to melt...
As they move forward, they find Cal there, so they've decided to greet him.
Cal: (Surprised) Oh, Ash, Victoria... You startled me. But if you're here... That's good. I couldn't ask for better backup. As you heard, the mountain is slowly melting from the inside out. Just now, I saw our culprit... A Heatran has spawned in here.
Ash: I knew it...so it really is Heatran.
Cal: Just our luck. This is only going to get worse as it goes on... Let's not waste time!
After getting further inside, they can see some places have normal water, hot springs, and even lava.
Victoria: So where is that Heatran, Cal?
Cal: Heatran moved up through that exit...
Acerola: (Notices the Lava) But with that lava in the way... (Notice the Hot Springs) And that boiling water... I don't think any Pokémon could safely surf across it.
Cal: Ugh... What can we do? My Fire Types aren't helpful at all here when the place is already melting down.
?: Shoulda came prepared, oaf-for-brains.
Ash and Cal freeze as they see Blake walking toward them.
Blake: Sup?
Cal: Blake, let's not do this right now. We're kind of in the middle of something.
Blake: No shit. And here I thought you two were just having a hot spring double date.
Victoria: Me and him? (Points at Cal) I am not going to be his date!
Blake: Chillax. I'm here to help. You just sit back and let your ol' big brother take care of this.
Cal: And what do you gain from this?
