The cave erupted in chaos as the battle raged on. Wisty stood in the center, commanding her Pokémon with precision and confidence, her voice cutting through the roar of attacks. Mew’s Hyper Beam had left a gash in the cliffside, but Wisty’s Pokémon held their ground.

Pikachu and Jolteon unleashed simultaneous Thunderbolts, their combined electricity crackling through the air. The powerful strike hit Mew directly, forcing it to retreat momentarily.

As the dust settled, Quillon was the first to break the silence.

“Wait a second… She has a shapeshifting Eevee… and that Togepi…” He narrowed his eyes. “WISTY?!”

Wisty turned, a sly grin spreading across her face. “Finally, Gary Berry. I was wondering when you’d realize.”

Gary blinked, caught off guard. “You’re here? And you caught Mew?!”

Wisty shrugged nonchalantly, waving her hand as though it were no big deal. “Maybe I did. What’s the big deal?”

Quillon’s face darkened, his fists clenching. “What’s the big deal? You’re a reckless menace, that’s the big deal! And now you’ve gone and—”

“Azumarill, use—”

Before Danika could finish, Wisty cut her off. “Houndour, Flamethrower. Right now.”

The small, black-and-orange dog barked eagerly and unleashed a stream of flames toward Quillon. He yelped and dove for cover.

“WISTY!” he shouted from behind a boulder. “Are you serious right now?!”

Wisty rolled her eyes. “You’re always so dramatic, Quillon. Relax, I wasn’t aiming for you.”

“Could’ve fooled me!”

Meanwhile, Togepi waddled forward, clutching what could only be described as a tiny, Pokémon-sized gun.

“TOGEPI!” Horace screamed, eyes wide as the mischievous Pokémon pointed the weapon at him. He dove behind Goh, clutching his friend for dear life.

“Wisty! Get your little menace under control!”

Wisty glanced at Togepi and sighed. “Togepi, dear, he’s a good guy. Remember? Where’s that robber we were talking about?”

Togepi tilted its head, seemingly in deep thought, before waddling over to Goh.

Goh let out a high-pitched scream. “It’s pointing at me!”

Wisty facepalmed. “Togepi, no. It’s not the redhead. Try again!”

Togepi looked around, then waddled over to Gary.

“Still no!” Wisty groaned. “That’s Gary. He’s not the robber either!”

Togepi huffed in frustration and turned toward Danika.

“That’s blue, Togepi!” Wisty exclaimed. “How are you confusing blue with red? Him!” She pointed emphatically at Quillon.

Finally, Togepi waddled toward Quillon, who peeked out from behind the boulder, his face pale. “What’s it doing?!”

Wisty smirked, folding her arms. “Looks like it’s found the ‘bad guy.’ Good job, Togepi.”

“WISTY, CALL IT OFF!” Quillon roared, scrambling back as Togepi stared him down.

With a satisfied hum, Wisty whistled sharply, and Togepi lowered the gun. It toddled back to her side, looking as cheerful as ever.

Goh clutched his chest. “That thing’s adorable, but it’s terrifying!”

“Yeah, well, you get used to it,” Gary muttered, shaking his head.
