" Hey do you know that guy, Ash?"

" Yeah we grew up together."

" Ahhh, I see. Then you two must be rivals."

" Yeah, I guess you could say that."

Suddenly, Misty's eyes widenend. " Duck!"

Ash gasped. " Duck? Where?!"

" Not you, Ash. Wisty, duck!"

Ash turned to see her sister boarding, her Eevee pulling her.

He also saw her go smack into a tree.

" I'm fine, Eevee. I'm fine." She muttered as she stood up, then shook her head. " Yeesh, Eve. You need to go a lot slower."

Then she saw her brother. " Oh, hiya Ash!"

" Wisty? What are you doing here?"

Wisty handed Ash a bag. " Mom wanted me to give you this. It has a lot of ' you know whats'."

Ash's face reddened. " Really?"

Wisty shrugged. " Hey, I'm only the sister. I don't know anything."

Then she gasped too. " Did you happen to see Gary, by any chance?"

" Yeah, he went that way." Ash pointed, and Wisty nodded. " Thanks! Eevee, let's go!"

Eevee pulled Wisty and her board through the croud as Wisty yelled, " BYE ASH!"

" Hey As do you know that guy?" Jackson asked.

" Yeah she's my little sister."

" She seems nice." Harrison commented.

" Yeah, she is. She's also really embarassing."

Suddenly, they saw Gary running through the croud, looking behind his shoulders. " Wisty, what are you trying to do?!"

" Professor Oak told me I had to ' give you a bath'. So come here! I already have a tub full of water in the forest!"

Ash's eyes widened. " Wisty I don't think he meant it like that!"

" Oh he meant EXACTLY what he said."

Ash rubbed his temples. " Wisty! Really?!"

" Mhm! Professor Oak IS Gary's grandpa, and he knows what's best for Gary."

Ash dialed Professor Oak, holding his breath as the phone rang. He could already imagine Oak's voice, either confirming Wisty's bizarre interpretation or dismissing it entirely. After a few rings, the professor picked up.

"Hello, Ash! Everything alright?" Professor Oak's voice was calm and collected, as usual.

Ash rubbed his temples, trying not to sound as exasperated as he felt. "Uh, Professor Oak? Did you... did you tell Wisty to give Gary a bath?"

There was a brief pause on the other end, and Ash could almost hear the professor's chuckle. "Ah, yes, I did say something like that," Oak replied, sounding amused. "But I didn't expect her to take it so literally! Poor Gary could use a little freshening up after his last experiment, but I thought she'd understand it as a gentle suggestion!"

Ash groaned. "Well, she's out here chasing him with a portable tub full of water."

Professor Oak couldn't help but laugh now. "Oh dear, it seems I may have underestimated her enthusiasm."

Meanwhile, in the background, Ash could hear the unmistakable sound of Gary's voice getting closer, yelling, "Wisty, put that tub down! I don't need a bath!"

Ash sighed. "Professor, can you maybe call Wisty off? She's gonna flood half the forest at this rate."

"Don't worry, Ash. I'll handle it," Oak assured him with a laugh. "But perhaps you'd better keep an eye on her. Wisty certainly has a unique way of helping people!"

As Ash hung up, he looked at his friends, who were all trying to stifle their laughter. "Well, looks like my sister's at it again..."

Jackson patted Ash on the back. "Hey, at least she's got spirit!"

"Yeah," Ash said, glancing in the direction of Wisty's chaotic pursuit. "But she might just give Gary a few gray hairs before she's done!"
