New story alert!!! Here it is…Pokemon! Ash X Latias!
"Blah" - Speaking
'Blah' - Thoughts
A girl with a green top and white skirt was running through the unfamiliar forest. She tripped on a coincidently placed root. She fell to the ground, scraping her left leg in the process.
"So…you've finally decided to stop running from me." A dark voice rang through her ears.
The girl didn't answer. The brunette scrambled to her feet and faced the stranger.
"Come now, Latias. Don't be afraid of me…" The hidden faced man said.
The girl, now known as Latias, swallowed hard and slowly started to back away. The man frowned.
"Latias…don't you want to see your brother…or your beloved again?" The creepy man asked.
Latias froze.
"Yes…Ash…you want to see him again?"
Latias didn't move or respond.
"Oh…I've forgotten…you haven't learned telepathy yet. Don't worry. I can teach it to you…you only have to come with me." The man said in a false tone.
Latias shook her head and backed away further. The man gritted his teeth.
"I've been too nice…come with me now, Latias!" The man yelled.
Latias turned around and sprinted further into the dark forest. The man growled and called upon his Pokemon.
"Arcanine! Follow her!"
The fire Pokemon barked and chased after the girl.
Latias didn't know how much longer she could run. She had left Altomare Island in search for Ash. She had been feeling a strange longing to be with him. Bianca had told her to follow her heart and find him. Now…she wasn't sure if finding him was the best idea.
Her thoughts were broken by the sound of a certain Pokemon.
"Arc!" Arcanine barked and conjured up an ember attack.
Latias cried out in pain as the feeling of burning heated her left leg. She stopped momentarily from the pain, but kept running from the Pokemon.
Latias finally stopped and transformed back into her true form. A red and white Pokemon appeared in her place and tackled the enemy Pokemon. The legendary Pokemon screeched a battle cry and charged Arcanine again.
Arcanine jumped back and used flamethrower. Latias flew up and dodged the attack and swooped down to pick the smaller Pokemon up. Arcanine howled in surprise of not being able to touch the ground anymore.
Latias flew up high and threw the to the ground. Arcanine fell in a heap. Latias took this opportunity to escape. The said Pokemon flew through the sky while cloaking herself.
'Ash…please help me!'
Ash was having the time of his life swimming around in the lake he and his gang had found. May was sitting on the edge of the lake, kicking her feet in the water. Brock was swimming around with his Mudkip on his tail. And Max was playing around with Pikachu.
Ash dove deep in the water until he reached the bottom. He swam to the top with ease and gasped for breath. He had become a much better swimmer in his time being a Pokemon trainer.
Ash and his friends had decided to stop for a break while walking for hours in the forest of Hoenn. They let all of their Pokemon out to stretch and have been swimming for the past half hour.
Ash was drying off when he heard a voice.
'Ash…please help me!'
Ash looked around, clearly surprised. May looked up just in time to see him looking confused.
"What's wrong, Ash?"
Ash looked up and shrugged. "I thought I heard a voice asking for help."
May looked skeptical for a minute before saying, "You were probably just imagining it."
Ash nodded slowly before moving towards the tent. "Well…I might as well get changed and explore."
Ash changed into his blue vest, blue pants, his black and green gloves, his sneakers, and finally, his red hat. Ash stepped out of the tent and walked towards his friends, who were still in the water.
"Hey, guys. I'm going to check out this area." Ash told them.
"Okay, Ash. Don't be too long though. We're going to leave soon." Brock said.
Ash nodded and walked into the forest. At that moment, he thought he heard someone say his name. He shrugged it off and continued on. Not too much later, he heard the voice, only it was much more clear.
'Ash! Where could you be!?'
Now he knew this voice was real and someone was in trouble. And from the sound of it, the person was a girl.
Latias was exhausted. She couldn't fly anymore. She flew to the ground and uncloaked herself. She transformed herself back into her best friend and continued on foot. She was feeling a familiar presence not too far from her.
'Ash! Where could you be!?'
Not too much later, she heard a reply.
'Who's there?'
Latias blinked for a minute before asking, 'Ash?'
After a moment or two the voice said, 'How do you know my name?'
Latias felt an unbelievably strong tug at her heart. It was Ash!
'Ash! I'm so glad you can hear me!'
Latias wanted to squeal in joy, but it might attract attention from unwanted people.
'Who are you? Do I know you?' Ash asked mentally.
'It's me! Latias!' Latias said mentally.
'L-Latias!? W-What!? How can this be? How can you be talking to me in my mind?' Ash's voice said, stuttering.
'I don't know…I was just thinking to myself when I heard your voice respond. Where are you?'
It took a moment for Ash to reply. 'I'm in the Hoenn region. I'm in a forest 10 minutes from a big lake. Where are you? Were you the one that was calling for help?'
Latias was overwhelmed with relief and joy to hear Ash's voice like this.
'I think I'm in Hoenn as well. I'm also in a forest. This man was chasing after me! He knew who I was. I got away from him though. I don't know how long it will take him to find me!' Latias said with distress.
'What!? A man? Are you okay? Are you hurt?' Ash's voice asked with concern and worry.
Latias couldn't help but smile at Ash's caring personality. Oh, how she missed him.
'I'm fine. I only got a small burn.' Latias said, truthfully.
She could almost feel Ash sigh in relief.
'That's good. Can you still walk? Fly?'
'No, I can't fly anymore. I'm too tired. But I can walk.'
On the other end, Ash was smiling happily. He had missed Latias greatly. Although, he hadn't realized it until now.
'I think your close. I can hear you more clearly now.' Ash thought.
Latias didn't answer. Ash had begun to worry, until he spotted a girl starring at him from afar. His eyes widened considerably.
"L-Latias?" He managed to ask.
Instead of an answer, he got a hug. In a split second, she had her arms wrapped around his midsection tightly. Too shocked to anything, Ash put his arms around her.
Latias couldn't say anything, but she hugged him tighter. Ash pulled away slightly to look at her.
"Are you Bianca or Latias?" Ash asked playfully. He already knew the answer.
Latias decided to give him an answer. She leaned forward and kissed his cheek. His skin felt warm under her touch. Ash's cheeks went pink. Latias pulled away and smiled joyfully.
"I-I'm guessing your Latias." Ash said, trying to get his cheeks to go back to its normal color.
Latias nodded and started to glow a bright blue. Ash took a step back, already knowing what she was doing. Latias transformed back into her Pokemon form and nuzzled her head against Ash's shoulder. Ash laughed and petted her head.
Latias purred happily and nuzzled his hand. The moment was broken from a certain fire Pokemon's ember. The two leapt back and turned to the new arrival.
"So…Ash Ketchum. We meet at last." The stranger said.
"Y-You're Giovanni!" Ash exclaimed. Giovanni laughed maniacally.
"Yes. Now give Latias to me."
Ash growled and shouted, "No way! You're not getting her!"
Giovanni laughed another evil laugh. "I'm afraid you don't have a choice. Go, Arcanine!"
Arcanine rushed at Ash. Latias screeched and tackled Arcanine. Arcanine fell back, but bounced back up in a flash. Ash reached at his belt to grab his Pokeball. Giovanni noticed this and commanded, "Arcanine! Bite him!"
Arcanine obeyed and bit into Ash's flesh. Ash cried out. Ash wrenched his hand out of Arcanine's hold and winced at the pain. Latias was mad with fury and charged Arcanine. Arcanine howled at the sudden pain in its side.
Ash finally grabbed his Pokeball. "Go! Sceptile!"
It was on.
