You automatically use it whenever you walk over the ash covered grass. The more you walk on the ash grass the more ash you collect.
Walk around the fields with wild Spindas in them, (the grass should be a brown color instead of the regular green). Each step you take through the grass will turn the brown grass into green grass. This is to show that you've knocked the volcanic ash off of the grass as you walked through it. Each time you change a grassy spot's color to green, and have the soot bag with you, the amount of ash collected inside the bag will increase by 1. Once you have enough of this, head into town and you can have a man in town turn the soot into glass decorations for your secret base, or into flutes to be used outside of battle.
Do you remember a place where ash drops from the sky... head for the only house in this place... the guy inside will give you a sack to collect the soot... walk in the grass until a certain amount of ash is collected and then talk to the man in the house and ask for the blue flute... hope this helps -ganesh
You can find 5 flutes that can be obtained in Pokémon Emerald Version all of which are obtained the same way. There is a man who can be found in a house in Route 113 that will give you a Soot Sack the first time that you talk to him and by using that you can collect the volcanic ash that will be on the same route and every step in the ash-covered grass will add a bit more to the sack and in order for him to create the flutes the requirements are as follows: Blue Flute which awakens sleeping Pokémon: 250 steps Red Flute which snaps Pokémon out of infatuation: 500 steps Yellow Flute which will snap Pokémon out of confusion: 500 steps Black Flute, which will lower the chance of encountering wild Pokémon by 50%: 1,000 steps White Flute, which will raise the chance of encountering wild Pokémon by 50%: 1,000 steps
As you're traveling on Route 113 you'll notice a little house. Go in there, talk to the man, and he'll give you a Soot Sack. You see, this person makes glass out of ash. He tells you to collect ash with this item, and then see him when you have enough. After walking 243 steps in the ashes, you can go to him to obtain a white flute there. hope this helps :)
