Pokemon: Hoenn Adventures
A/N: This is my newest Pokemon story. I hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. I got this idea from ARCEUS-master's A New Chance at Life. Read it. It's a good story that explains one possibility for if Latios survived the ordeal from Pokemon Heroes: Latios and Latias.

Chapter 1: latios' gift
Ash, Misty, Brock, Bianca, Lorenzo, and Latias were standing around Latios, who had just been freed from its dreadful prison. He was covered in burns and blood, and knew he wouldn't last much longer, even with the best care available. He also knew that all the water that receded from Alamos Town would be rushing back.
Latios: (I don't have much longer, so I want to give you all a gift, to remember me by.)
"Latios, don't say that! We just need to get you some aid."
Latios: (It won't help. I'm too far gone as it is. Besides, I've got to protect the city one more time. The water that was pulled out of the city will be returning any time now. I need to stop it. I just want to give you a gift for saving me before then.)
Latios glowed soe a bit, and a piece of the light broke off, divided into shards, and entered the humans. Once the Glow faded, Latios was panting. The act of giving a piece of himself to the humans had taxed him. he knew that in his current state, he would die if he exerted any more force. But he had to stop the water. As quick as he could, he flew out of the building just as the water started rushing toward the town.
Latios: (Latias, once this is over, I want you to go with them. They will protect you.)
Latias was troubled. If she went with Ash and his group, there'd be no one to protect the new Soul Dew, which she knew he'd become.
(Don't worry about my protection. Once you leave, I'll erect a stronger barrier, keeping out
those I didn't trust in life. Now go back to Ash, I don't want you to see this.)
Latias nods reluctantly, flying back to Ash and his group. Latios arrives at the giant wave and unleashes his remaining energy and life to slow the wave, trying to minimize damage. He succeeds, becoming a beam of light in the process. Latias rushed back out, wanting to see her brother one last time. She reaches the light, and sees her brother's soul, which is ready to depart. No words are spoken between them as Latios departs for the afterlife.
Latias stays in that spot for a while before returning to Ash. The trainer is saddened by the Eon Pokemon's death, and stays on the peir for a while. He returns to Bianca's house in the evening, still affected by Latios' death. He sees Pikachu and goes to him.
"Come on, Ash. This isn't like you. You normally not this affected."
Ash just stared at Pikachu.
"Did you just... talk?"
A/N: And that marks the end of Chapter One. I apologize if it looks rushed. I watched Pokemon Heroes recently, and decided to do my own take on an alternate ending. The rest of the chapters should be better.
