" I was wondering who it was, and it turns out to be Ashy-Boy!"
Ash gasped. " Gary!"
Gary leaned off his Blasteroid's shell and chuckled. " Haha. I just said that for old times sake."
Before anyone could say anything else, a girl wearing a pink sweater and purple skirt gasped. She jumped off the cliff and tackled Gary onto the ground.
" You're here! You're here!" she exclaimed happily.
Gary laughed and hugged her back as he sat up. " Wow. Didn't think Wisty, of all people, was gonna be happy for my arrival."
Wisty rolled her eyes. " Oh come on! Can't I be happy my brother's best-friend -who- keeps- him- alive is FINALLY here?"
Gary raised a brow. " Riiiiiight."
Wisty grinned. " I just wanted to show you something."
She fished a paper out of her pocket and gave it to Gary. " I never showed Ash, so you two might enjoy it. Or it might end up with you two chasing me around the forest while Goh watches."
Gary raised a brow as Wisty climbed out of his lap and un- scrolled the paper. Ash, curious, walked behind him and put a hand on Gary's shoulder.
Wisty had already run to the forest. " See you here!" She yelled as she ran again.
They gasped.
" WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISTY!"
Ash and Gary stood there, dumbfounded as they stared at the crude drawing in Gary's hands. It depicted both of them at a wedding altar, dressed in tuxedos, with a baby Goh cradled in their arms. The expressions on their faces in the drawing were cartoonishly exaggerated—Gary's smug and Ash's horrified.
"WHAT IS THIS?!" Ash shrieked, his face turning a shade of crimson that almost matched his hat.
Gary, meanwhile, rubbed his temple, trying to hold back a laugh. "Wisty has really outdone herself this time."
Just as they were about to crumple up the drawing, they realized Wisty had vanished. The sound of her distant giggles echoed from the forest as she dashed away.
"We have to catch her," Ash said through gritted teeth, his eyes narrowing. "She can't get away with this!"
Gary nodded in agreement. "Let's get her. She's been a menace since the day she learned to walk."
The two bolted after her, sprinting into the woods with determined expressions. Goh, who had been silently observing with his Grookey perched on his shoulder, picked up the discarded drawing and inspected it. He chuckled as he realized something.
"Wait... I'm the baby?" Goh muttered, surprised. His Grookey clapped its tiny hands in amusement. Goh's face lit up with a mischievous grin. "Well, if I'm part of this, I might as well help them catch her!"
With that, Goh joined the chase, determined to help Ash and Gary catch their elusive quarry.
The three of them tore through the forest, Ash shouting Wisty's name in frustration while Gary was plotting how he would get even. Goh and Grookey followed closely behind, occasionally catching glimpses of Wisty's bright pink sweater darting between the trees. But every time they thought they were close, she vanished again, leaving only her laughter behind.
"How is she so fast?!" Ash huffed as he leapt over a fallen log.
"She's always been quick," Gary grumbled, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of her. "But she's not getting away this time."
The chase continued, with the three boys relentlessly searching for Wisty. They finally slowed down when they reached the edge of the forest, panting heavily.
"Where... where could she have gone?" Goh asked, hands on his knees as he caught his breath.
Ash, frustrated, glanced around. "She has to be hiding somewhere nearby."
Just then, Goh's Grookey perked up and pointed toward a path leading to the observatory at Professor Oak's lab.
"Think she might be there?" Goh suggested, straightening up.
Ash and Gary exchanged a knowing look.
"Of course!" Ash exclaimed. "She's probably hanging out with Professor Oak, sipping lemonade or something!"
"That's so like her," Gary added, his voice tinged with annoyance but also a hint of admiration for his friend's crafty sister.
( Actually technically Ash and Gary thought of themselves as brothers so TECHNICALY Wisty would be his sister sooooo.....
Determined, the three of them headed toward the observatory. When they finally arrived, their suspicions were confirmed. There, sitting on a chair with a smug grin, was Wisty. She had a glass of lemonade in her hand, casually chatting with Professor Oak, who seemed entirely oblivious to the chaos she had caused.
Ash, Gary, and Goh stood at the entrance, dumbfounded once again.
"Hey, boys!" Wisty greeted them with a bright smile, not even a hint of guilt on her face. "Thirsty? There's more lemonade if you want some!"
Ash facepalmed, and Gary shook his head in disbelief. Goh, however, just laughed.
"You're too good, Wisty," Goh admitted, still chuckling as Grookey mimicked his laughter.
Professor Oak finally noticed the trio standing there, completely out of breath and looking bewildered. "Oh, hello, boys. What brings you here? Did something happen?"
Gary groaned. "You have no idea."
Wisty just sipped her lemonade, clearly satisfied with her victory.
