Forest Conflict
Ash: Why are you on a plane if you're scared of heights?!
Gloria: -puff- -puff-
Random Passenger #1: Can you tell your friend to quiet down?! I don't want to hear her panicking for the entire flight!
Random Passenger #2: Exactly!
Random Passenger #3: Finally, someone said it!
Ash: Hey, Gloria, it's okay! We're already in the air. Just calm down and breathe!
Gloria: -breathing heavily, trying to steady herself-
Ash: Gloria!! What's wrong?!
Gloria: I-I—
Ash: -places his head against her chest- Someone help! She's barely breathing!!!
???: She's having an asthma attack!
Ash: Asthma attack!? -frantically grabs Gloria's backpack and checks it-
Ash: I can't find an inhaler!!
???: Where are her suitcases? It could be in there!
Ash: It's right there! -points in a panic-
???: Okay, don't lay her down! Sit her up!
Ash: Okay! Gloria, breathe! I'm right here!
???: -opens the suitcase, rummaging through it- Please, Arceus, where is it?!
Ash: Follow my breathing! In... 2... 3... puff in and out.
???: Damn it, she doesn't have one! -yells at a flight attendant- Get me any hot beverage quickly!
Ash: Is she going to die?!
???: Stay calm, young man! Don't think like that. If you're her friend, you need to help her stay calm.
Ash: -nods, anxious- Gloria, breathe! It's okay!
The flight attendant brings coffee.
???: Thank you! Okay, young lady, drink this. It will help open your airways.
Gloria: -drinks some, takes a shaky breath- -starts remembering-
Gloria: Daddy!! I can't breathe!
Gloria's Dad: Calm down! Don't talk! I'm right here. Breathe slowly, in and out, just like me! -breathes in and out-
Gloria: -mirrors her father's breathing, slowly calming down-
End of flashback
Ash: In... and... out.
???: Good job, she's starting to breathe normally now!
Ash: Gloria? You okay?
Gloria: Yes. -sits up, still a bit shaky-
???: Young lady, your name is Gloria, right? Why didn't you have an inhaler with you?
Gloria: -sheepishly- Oh, that! I totally forgot! -takes off her hat with a laugh- I usually put it in my hat.
Ash: -facepalms- Who on earth puts their inhaler in their hat, you fool?! Seriously, stop laughing! You could have died!
Gloria: -noticing Ash's serious expression- Why are you crying?
