Pokemon Indigo League Stories Part 2

Tie one on!

" 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 sighed deeply. " Wisty. He didn't mean it like that."

" Of corse he did! You should be happy I convinced mom I don't need to give YOU a bath."

Ash, with a plain expression, reached into his pocket and dialed the professor.

Ash listened to Wisty's relentless argument, his face caught between exasperation and a kind of helpless amusement. He knew all too well that once Wisty set her mind to something, talking her down was like reasoning with a wild Tauros.

He glanced at the phone in his hand, dialing Professor Oak with a resigned sigh. The phone rang a few times before Oak's voice finally came through.

"Hello, Ash! How's everything going?" Professor Oak's cheerful tone seemed entirely oblivious to the chaos unfolding.

"Professor, could you... explain to Wisty that you didn't mean she had to literally give Gary a bath?" Ash asked, keeping his voice steady as he shot a weary look at his sister, who was now giving Gary a mischievous grin from across the clearing.

"Wait... What?!" Oak's chuckle broke through on the other end. "Oh dear, I told Wisty that Gary could use a good 'wake-up call,' but I didn't mean that!"

Ash shook his head, muttering to himself, "Should've known she'd take it literally."

Meanwhile, Gary was sprinting through the crowd, his voice carrying across the field. "Wisty, stop following me! I'm perfectly capable of bathing myself!"

Unfazed, Wisty called back, "Not according to Professor Oak! He says you need a 'deep cleanse'—whatever that means!" She wagged a finger at Gary, who was practically tripping over his feet in his haste to escape.

Ash held up the phone, hoping Professor Oak's voice could somehow break through Wisty's determination. "Professor, she's really committed to this," he said, rubbing his temples as he handed the phone to his sister.

Wisty took the phone, pressing it to her ear with an innocent expression. "Hello, Professor! Is there anything else you'd like me to bring for Gary's bath?"

Professor Oak stifled a laugh before responding, "Wisty, my dear, I didn't mean a literal bath. I simply meant Gary could use a bit of... guidance. Let him handle his own bath, okay?"

Wisty paused, narrowing her eyes as if Oak's explanation had personally betrayed her. "So... you're saying he doesn't actually need my help?"

"Exactly, Wisty. Gary's just fine."

Reluctantly, Wisty handed the phone back to Ash, who raised an eyebrow as she muttered, "Fine, fine. But just so you know, if Gary starts smelling weird, it's not my fault!"

Gary let out a relieved sigh, shooting her a glare. "Finally. I thought I'd have to hide in the woods to escape you."

Wisty shrugged, then turned to Ash with a grin. "Well, mission canceled. But I still have Mom's bag of 'you know whats.'" She gave him a wink as she handed it over, her face a picture of sibling satisfaction.

Ash looked into the bag, shaking his head. "Thanks, Wisty... I think."

With a laugh, Wisty hopped back on her board, calling for Eevee as she zoomed off into the crowd, her mischievous laughter lingering long after she'd disappeared.
