" Brock...."
" Yeah. I heard. Seems to Me-"
Suddenly, Ash's phone rang.
" Excuse me. I have to take this." He answered.
" ASH IT'S BURNING!".
" Uh... You're gonna need to be more specific."
" THE VOLCANO!"
Ash's eyes widened. " You're AT the volcano?"
There was a pause. " Uh...."
Ash groaned. " Wisty!"
" Well what was I supposed to do?"
" Stay next to me and be safe?"
Misty scoffed. " As if!"
Ash sighed. " Wisty stay right where you are and don't move. I'm coming."
" That's not gonna be hard."
" Why?"
" I might have forgotten to tell you, but.... I'm on a boulder. Trying to stay safe."
Ash facepalmed. " You're so danger prone."
" So are you!"
" Yeah? Well at least I don't go to a volcano without telling someone!"
" You're my older brother of course you do!"
Suddenly, Ash heard a roar
The others heard it too. " What was that?!" Gok asked as he turned to Ash.
Brock crossed his arms. " Why did your sister just roar.
Ash groaned. " Wisty is at the volcano."
" Altaria!" They heard the young girl shout. " Fly up there and give me an overview of what's going on. Amaura, Deerling, Sprigatito, I choose you!"
Ash's heart raced as he heard his sister's panicked voice over the phone. "Wisty, stay there!" he shouted, trying to sound calm, but his worry was clear.
"Can't!" Wisty yelled back. "The lava monster found—SPRIGATITO, LOOK OUT!"
They heard yelps and dodging.
" Altaria, take Amura, Deerling, and Sprigtito out from here."
" Altaria?"
Wisty nodded, determined. " I'll be fine."
Then she paused. " And take my phone would you? I mean, I love my brother but seriously."
" YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT HERE RIGHT?!" Ash yelled over the phone.
" Oh. Whoops."
She gave her phone to Sprigtito, and Ash gasped. " Uh, Wisty, how about we think this through, huh?"
" I did."
Ash gripped his phone tightly, he could hear the distant sounds of chaos filtering through the line—yells, the crackling of lava, and the frantic chatter of Wisty's Pokémon. Panic surged through him, and he tried to keep his voice steady despite his racing heart. "Wisty, please! Just think this through—"
But Wisty's voice was already fading, determined and resolute. "My mind is made. You can't change it, brother!"
"Now fly, Altaria! Fly!"
The line crackled with the sounds of flapping wings and excited shouts. Ash's heart sank as he envisioned his sister alone in a volcanic battleground, and the worry gnawed at him like a hungry beast.
