Latias and the End of the Line

Dreams of the Other Side

One night Latias was sleeping inside of Bianca's room at the foot of her bed and it's was very late that night at least around 2:30AM in the morning and it was raining very hard outside. It had been five years ago on this very month when Anne and Oakley nearly destroyed Altomare and killed her brother Latios. Forcing him to give his life and be forever imprisoned in the Soul Drew in till it is destroyed and either she or another Eon takes his place in it. What was also very unsettling about this very same mouth her brother died leaving her alone in this world was that Anne and Okay still roam free along with their master minded boss Giovanni who used his great hidden powers to free them out of Altomare's jail only ten weeks after they were supposed to have been locked away for 40 year each. Unknown to her they Giovanni once he was able to see them both again gave them triple what he had paid them to go to Altomare the first time to steal the Soul Dew and the Eons. This time they now had a hidden mission to catch Latias and to this time destroy the Soul was really on Latias mind at the same time these last few weeks which she thought about every now and then and day and day out was that the cold hard truth was also starting to set in that Ash would never return to Altomare and that he had completely forgotten her. Ash never ever sent any calls or messages whatsoever in the last five years sense she poured her heart out for him on that lonely dock in Altomare as he was leaving. She did still keep up on where he was at every now and then such as when Ash would come to the rescue in one of his adventures or if he would win a new Pokémon gym badge or win some other types of awards but even though the TV's and newspapers and Pokémon websites made Ash out to be some type of super Pokémon trainer hero she was beginning to not like him that much in that he seemed more of a gory hound in that since leaving Altomare five years ago with Misty who was with him for five years before those events he had six girlfriends during that time. And she began to feel angry and sad at the same time in that she felt like Ash had become too big headed that he could get any girl that he wanted by simply looking at them.

She then thought about this for a brief moment and looked at the phone and at copy of the art work Bianca had made for her and then laid down on the bed and then thought a little bit about Ash but then heard footsteps of Bianca walking up the footsteps into her room and then saw her come into the room. She then walked in the room with a sad look on her face and said, "Well Latias well you smashed my chances again of having a relationship with that gondolier Ross. He thinks that my painting gets in the way and that I should spend more time with him and less with my art work. But I never really did care for him that much anyway he really didn't have what I was looking for him but that is ok for now there should be other Eons out there right Latias?" Latias cooed happily at her and rubbed her head and ears into her looked across the room at a large painting of a strange looking rural paved road with orange lines going down the center of it though a thick forest with telephone poles running alongside it and said, "Ross never really cared for me spending so much time painting this thing in that he felt it was totally not Pokémon related but I really liked painting this thing even though I don't know if this place is real or not. But who cares it must be real I have always painted real places before for years and years it would be unlike me to paint something like this that is not real." Latias went up to the painting and cooed happily at it meaning that she liked it. She said to Latias, "I understand you miss you're Latios badly but I to really wish Latios was still alive badly. He was always loved to watch me paint and even though he was a Pokémon he was the closest thing that I had to a boyfriend." When Latios was around he would take on a human from and kick the butts of the people who made fun of her and Latias. Most of the people highly respected Latios around as our family friend or maybe a distant cousin to perhaps but they really did respect him a lot around here.

But after the night Anne and Oakley attacked us and killed Latios they also set fire to a few buildings in Altomare to keep the fire department and the police out of the way. So you know Latias we had to make up a story that Latios and you got trapped in a house fire. We now always have to tell people the fire killed him after he saved you. We also have to use a story to tell people out on the street if they met you Latias in human from and why you couldn't talk in that you where always like that." She nodded back at her and then lay down and lowered her wings and closed her eyes. Bianca then laid down and said, "Well tomorrow Latias is Altomare's monthly amateur Artists street sale and show which is usually very fun in that if I can see two or three art pieces I can usually make $200 to $600 dockets. "The docket was the form of money used in Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice" She then pointed over to two of her odd new county road themed artworks one was of a two lane wide county road rolling though some odd looking mountains. While the one next to it showed a very strange looking county highway that was four lanes wide and had a row of power poles running along it and a power company bucket truck parked at the base of one of the poles. Also in the photo which was very odd was that the four lane highway had dozens of odd looking cars and a tractor trailer and a dump truck driving on it. They then both fell asleep after a few minutes and then started to drift off into some type of strange type of dream that they had never really had before. They both found themselves standing in the middle of the four lane wide road and had passing cars and a few dump trucks go screaming by them with their head lights on at sunset. They both ran as fast as they could out of the middle of the four lane wide road and jumped over the steel guardrail into the tall grass and trees that where alongside it and started running as fast as they could to get off of the side of the road. Suddenly the road then ran down a side two lane county road that looked like one of the ones she had been painting these few weeks and then kept running down it. They kept going until oddly the county road then led into to a small rural town like place where there were several small stores and restaurants lined up along the two lane road with dozens of cars and trucks going down it on a very old run down sidewalk. Benicia said, "What is this place Latias it looks a lot like the places I have been painting up these last few weeks?"

They then looked behind them and saw an electric company bucket power truck parked next to the old sidewalk parked up on the somewhat tall grass. Benicia then saw linemen working on the bran new power poles that went along the street though the cent of the small town and then asked one of them about what is the name of this town we are in?" The Lineman in the dream went up to her and said, "Well now this is the small town of Dillwyn in Buckingham County and if you are lost well Spouse's Corner is two miles down the line down Route 15 and Farmville is 40 more miles down that way. But if you want to go west now then Buna Vista is 60 miles down the road and over some rivers though the mountains you see. But if you want to get towards the Interstate you keep going north for 30 more miles. But most people mainly take Route 60 to get to Cumberland County." She said, "Thank you sir."And then went over to Latias to tell her this in the dream. Suddenly she looked back over at the Linemen working and saw that they had pulled down something that looked like the Soul Drip off of the power pole and then put it into the back of their power truck. She went over and looked at this in shock and didn't at first know what to say to the Linemen working. Then another linemen went up to the top of the power truck in the bucket truck and then unscrewed two strange looking very oddly shaped foot tall brown porcine things from the top of the power pole and then put them down in the bed of the power truck next to the Soul Drip. She went up to them and said, "Please I must return the Soul Drip back to Altomare!" The Lineman looked at her and said, "Ah don't worry about these old insulators being thrown out into the power company dumpster we saving them for someone who really likes them for some odd reason so they will be well protected from being smashed up into a million pieces while they are in Dillwyn." She felt very nervous and this was when things were about to turn very strange for some reason."

She looked around a corner and suddenly in a car saw Anne and Oakley pulling up to them with big smiles on their faces and then one of them pulled up to Latias and bashed her on the head with a metal pipe knocking her to the ground. They both started running down the sidewalk though the center of the town and then Anne and Oakley grabbed on to them both and knocked them to the ground and said, "I know they have it I know they have it the Soul Drip Giovanni wants the Soul Drip he must have the Souls of Altomare by sundown." Oakley and Anne then kicked them both to the side of the sidewalk out into the street and suddenly a pickup truck nearly ran them both over but pulled out of the way of running them both over. She found herself on the ground lying in the street yelling saying, "I don't have the Soul Drip leave us alone!" Suddenly Anne and Oakley went up to the group of Linemen and started digging though the backs of the line trucks and couldn't find the Soul Drip only dozens of white and brown and orange porcine power pole insulators. Suddenly the Soul Drip appeared at the top of the power pole that the Linemen where working on and it was sitting right in the middle of two old power pole insulators. Anne pulled out a bolt gun and fired it at the lineman working on the pole and then hit one of the power lines cutting it off the top of the pole but she missed the Soul Drip sitting at the top of the pole. Oakley then fired again at the Soul drip and then hit the transformer mounted on the pole and the Linemen in the bucket jumped for cover and then suddenly the transformer and the power line broke free off of the pole and then slammed down 30 feet and the 100 pound bulky old rusted transformer then went crashing on top of them and blew apart everything in a shower of sparks killing them instantly.

The Soul Drip was still sitting at the top of the power looking down at both their lifeless bodies having both been electrocuted to death. Bianca and Latias then pulled themselves out of the street and ran over to the Line trucks where there were about ten people a mix of town folks and Linemen wondering what had happened to these two strange women that had tried to kill them for no reason that they could understand. Suddenly the Soul Drip changed back into an old brown insulator sitting at the top of the power pole and then the real one then popped up in the back of the power truck only it was surrounded by about 50 old brown power pole insulators. Bianca and Latias didn't know what to do in the dream so they stood there and watched the crowed of towns people stand around Annie and Oakley's looking down at them not knowing what to do. Then one of the Linemen then said, "Ok we cut the power off so there should be no more current but still no one gets near to the down power lines and transformers." Then one of the Linemen said, "Why did they attack us they should have known that they could have been electrocuted and why did they suddenly come up to us and started trying to shot at us or the old insulators at the top of the poles? Then someone said, "Well they both must have been after something that we had in one of our trucks maybe you know like the vandals' who want to steal the old copper wire in some of the power lines you know." Then another Lineman said, "The circuit had at lest 22,000 volts in it and all that all went through them killing them in seconds." Someone else said, "They both tried to stab her to death so I don't feel sorry for them having been killed by the power line. Well whoever they where or what they where they took out the only double circuit line into Dillwyn with them. Better get it fixed before dinner the local and State Police can take it from here." Bianca and Latias then both woke up it was about 4:20AM in the morning and she didn't know what she had seen or what the dream was trying to say.
