He had only gotten two steps, though, when a desperate voice called,
" Ash?!"
Ash turned to the sound, and Pikachu hopped onto his shoulder. " Wisty?!"
Out of the forest came Wisty, her hair going whichever way it pleased and her dress singed.
Chikerita, Houndour, Eevee, Alraria, and Clefairy were following
But what Ash ( and Gary and Oak and Tracey and Delia let's not forget them) found concerning was the fact that Wisty was both covered with thorns on her lower right arm but she was carrying something.
" Wisty?!" Ash exclaimed as he jumped up and ran to her. " What -"
" Charmander is sick and I have no idea what to do I tried ice and we tried doing wind first we even tried to use Chikerita's vine whip to send him really high but nothing is working and now his fever is getting worse and on the way there was r a rose bush which we couldnt have avoided which is why if you were wondering I'm covered with thorns." She took a long breath and her eye twitched.
" Toge?"
Wisty looked at her Togepi and managed a small smile. " Don't worry sweetie. Charmander will get better."
" Char....." Charmander whimpered.
Gary ran to them and felt his head. " Your Charmander is burning up."
" That's what I was afraid of." Wisty sighed.
" Chika?" A whimpery voice asked.
Wisty's eyes widened and she handed Ash the bundle containing her sick Charmander and knelt down to Chikerita, picking her up. " Chikerita, please don't cry. Charmander will be fine. I promise. If the doctors can't do anything, I will."
Ash blinked and whispered to Gary, " you have to do something."
Gary shot him a look. " What do you think I'm planning on doing?!"

" There." Gary said as he hooked Charmander up to a machine. " This should help with his fever
" Char...."
Wisty turned to her Pokemon. " Everyone, Charmander needs your support. He's sick, and I want him to be comfortable. So please sit around Charmander and keep him calm."
Chikerita, Houndour, Eevee, Alraria, and Clefairy, Eevee and Togepi nodded, making their way to the table Charmander was at, hopping up, and sitting by Charmander.
Ash smiled at the Pokemon, but when his eyes drifted to Wisty, his smile faded.
Wisty was pacing back and forth on the rug, biting her nails and twitching her eye.
