" Wisty?"

" Mmmmmmm?"

" Wisty get up."

" Mmph."

Someone shook her. " Wisty."

" What?"

" Wake up."

" Whyyyy?"

" Because it's morning."

" But I wanna sleeeeeep."

The person sighed. " Wisty."

" What Ash."

" It's your friend."

" No you're Ash."

" Nono, I mean your friend's in trouble."

Wisty's eyes snapped open. " You mean Crystal?!"

Ash nodded solemnly, and Wisty jumped out of bed and ran outside, throwing her Pokeball. " Dragonair Let's go!"

The blue serpent came out and let out a melodic hum. Wisty grabbed her Pokeballs, Eevee, Chikorita and Togepi and jumped on. " Sapphire, please fly to the Saydra Island."

When they got there, Dora and Gary greeted her, waving as she waved back.

She looked at her Dragonair. " Sapphire return."

As soon as Dragonair vanished, Wisty and her Pokemon started to drop down.

Fast.

" Eevee turn into Glaceon and use ice to make us a slide!"

Eevee obeyed, flipping in the air and turning into Glaceon before executing the move.

" Wisty!" Gary exclaimed as she landed. " How are you?!"

" Good. How's that Aerodactyl?"

" Fine. Though Crystal's not fine...." Gary sighed as he looked at the Pokemon Center/ lab.

" Chika!"

Eevee, who had turned into Espeon, looked at Chikorita confused. " Esp?"

" Toge Priii!!"

Dora blinked. " Who's that Pokemon?" She asked, confused.

" Togepi. The baby pokemon. Togepi's the cuuuutest. Aren't you, Togepriii?"

" Toge toge!*

Dora blinked. " Uh.... Okay. Anyway, Ivysaur isn't having much luck either. We think you might know what to do."

" Might? I know what to do." Wisty said confidently. " Eve, Chikorita, Togepi, come on."

" Crystal?"

Crystal barely moved in her bed. Wisty frowned and looked around the room.

The curtains were closed, casting a dreary look on the whole room. Her stuffed animals were neatly placed on the shelf.

" Well, I like what you've done to the room." She said brightly as she fixed a tilted picture of Crystal and her Ivysaur.

Crystal didn't move.

" Crystal?"

No reply.

" Crystal, it's me. Remember?"

Nothing.

Wisty furrowed her brow as she walked to her best friend. " C... Crystal?"

Gary signed. " See? Nothing we do works."

Dora was still amazed. " How did your Eevee transform?!"

Wisty picked Eve up. " It's actually simple. Right Eve?" She looked at the Pokemon in her hands.

" Eve!"

" You see, Eevee 's DNA is more unstable than anyones. Then one day, someone tried all eight evolution rocks on her. The results were history. Eevee has the power to shape shift into any of its evolved forms. But it always turns into my Eevee. Isn't that right, Chikorita?"

" Chika!!!"

Wisty tilted her head as she observed Crystal closely. "She's not just ignoring us... something's wrong," she muttered. Her hand hovered over her friend's face. "Wait, her skin feels... weird. Cold and smooth like..." She gasped. "A statue?"

Gary stepped closer, eyebrows furrowed. "A statue? That's impossible! How could someone-"

"Not someone. Something," Wisty interrupted. "Cassidy and Biff!"

Gary's eyes widened. "Team Rocket? What would they gain by doing this to Crystal?"

"That doesn't matter. What matters is fixing her. And I think I know how." She turned to her Eevee. "Eve, time for Sylveon!"

The loyal Pokémon glowed, its DNA shifting seamlessly. In a flash, Sylveon emerged, ribbons fluttering gracefully. "Sylv!"

"Dora, Gary, stand back. Sylveon, use Misty Terrain!"

A gentle mist filled the room, softening the statue-like texture of Crystal's skin. Dora gasped. "It's working!"

Ten minutes later, Crystal slowly blinked her eyes open, taking a deep breath. She looked around, slightly disoriented but alive. The room, once cast in an eerie silence, now felt warm and alive with the sound of soft breathing.

Ivysaur, who had been anxiously waiting beside her, let out a joyful cry and nuzzled her affectionately. "Ivy! Ivysaur!" It was as if he had been holding his breath the whole time, waiting for her to return to him.

Crystal's eyes softened as she gently stroked Ivysaur's leaves. "You... You're okay." Her voice was barely above a whisper, but it was filled with relief.

Wisty, standing a few steps away, sighed in relief. "Good thing we figured it out in time. Cassidy and Biff's trap almost had you frozen forever."

"Thank you... Wisty, you're amazing," Crystal murmured, sitting up in bed. "I thought I was stuck in some sort of dream... How did you know what to do?"

Wisty smiled, feeling a sense of pride in her accomplishment. "It's all about knowing your Pokémon and trusting them. Sylveon's ability to alter the environment with Misty Terrain was just what we needed to break that frozen spell."

Gary, still slightly stunned, gave Wisty a thumbs up. "You really are something else. I never would have thought of that."

Wisty shrugged, trying to hide her smile. "It's all in a day's work." She turned to the rest of her Pokémon, proud of their teamwork. "Eevee, you did great too. You were perfect."

"Eevee!" her Pokémon chirped, jumping into her arms happily.

Just then, the door to the room opened, and Dora walked in, looking both relieved and impressed. "Well, I can't say I'm not surprised. Wisty, you've got a knack for saving the day."

"Just another reason to be friends," Wisty replied, winking at Crystal, who gave her a grateful smile.
