My idea is the volcanoe erupts a second time and it becomes a catastrophy. Should I try to make a stroy out of it or is it terrible. Since nobody replied I will make it anyway.

Well, you don't have much plot here. Okay, a vulcano has erupted. And...?
You need to figure out why/how it happened, how bad the damage would be, who/what it affected (maybe the smoke from afterward covered the entire sky in a huge black bloud?) and to what extent and so on. An erupting volcano is exciting and interesting, sure, but if your story is just
"The big volcano finally erupted on Cinnabar Island. People Panicked. The entire island was wiped out. Nobody could go back for three days because there was lava everywhere. They later rebuilt and called it New Cinnabar."
Then that story would be incredibly dull and wouldn't get much attention. However if it was, for example, done from the point of view of a Trainer visiting tfamily on he island, or from Blaine in the middle of a Gym Battle, then you could make it an epic story of survival and have edge-of-your-seat scenes where the reader is really wondering "is this the end for our hero?"
But no detail was really given, so there's nothing for us to really comment on.

This has been my first time writing in a while after finishing a manuscript for a book that i have written, aftermath is next, then discoveries, then savior.

...sorry, but what's that got to do with what I said? Or the thread topic in general? I mean, okay, congrats on the fact that you're working on writing stuff, but what's that got to do with a fic where a volcano erupts? :/
If you didn't like my suggestions you could have just said so.
