Ash sighed as he took his hat off to scratch his head. " This is bad. It's not calming down!"
" Tell me about it!" Gary agreed.
Ash looked at his sister. " Wist, could you calm it down?"
Wisty was studying a Poke ball. " I have a better idea."
She threw her Pokeball, shouting, " Let's go, Jigglypuff!"
Ash, Gary, Oak, and Tracy yelped in horror. " When did you get that?!" Ash shouted as he backed away.
Wisty spun the Poke Ball on her finger. " I got it. Somewhere."
She turned to Jigglypuff. " Okay, the stage is yours. I need you to make that Aerodactyl fall asleep."
Jigglypuff blinked its big eyes, puffing up with pride as it hopped forward, marker in hand, ready for its moment to shine. Wisty grinned, clearly confident in her strategy.
Ash, Gary, Oak, and Tracey, on the other hand, shared a collective groan of apprehension.
"Wisty," Ash said, still backing away cautiously, "you do realize what happens when Jigglypuff sings, right?"
Wisty shot her brother a mischievous look. "Relax, Ash. I've got this under control."
Gary shook his head. "I've seen what that Jigglypuff does to people. Are you sure this is the best plan?"
But before anyone could stop her, Wisty turned to Jigglypuff with a nod. "Alright, Jigglypuff! Time to sing!"
The Aerodactyl, still rampaging through the skies above, let out another screech as it circled the area, its sharp talons glinting in the light. Jigglypuff inhaled deeply, puffing up even more than usual before opening its mouth and launching into its signature lullaby.
The melody floated through the air, soft and soothing, as Jigglypuff's song washed over the chaotic scene. Almost immediately, the massive Aerodactyl's movements began to slow, its screeches turning into drowsy, confused murmurs.
Ash, Gary, and the others watched in amazement as the ancient Pokémon faltered mid-flight, its eyes drooping. "It's working!" Tracey exclaimed, his eyes wide with surprise.
"Of course it's working!" Wisty replied smugly, folding her arms. "Jigglypuff's lullaby is unbeatable."
Aerodactyl let out one last groggy growl before it crash-landed gently on the ground, completely knocked out. Wisty gave a triumphant smirk, while Jigglypuff, now feeling victorious, looked around, waiting for applause.
But instead of cheers, the rest of the group began to wobble on their feet, their eyes drooping as well. "Uh-oh..." Gary mumbled, swaying slightly.
Ash blinked sleepily at his sister. "Wisty... why did you...?"
Within moments, Ash, Gary, Professor Oak, and Tracey all collapsed onto the ground, sound asleep, victims of Jigglypuff's song just like the Aerodactyl.
Wisty, still standing, looked around at her snoozing companions and sighed dramatically. "Well, that could've gone better."
Jigglypuff, frustrated by the lack of applause, whipped out its marker and stormed over to the group. "Jiggly, puff!" it huffed angrily as it began to draw doodles on their faces.
Wisty rolled her eyes, leaning down and patting Jigglypuff on the head. "Don't worry, I'm proud of you. Now let's get these guys up before Aerodactyl wakes up too."
She stood up, stretching her arms, and sighed again. "I swear, it's like babysitting sometimes."
