A/N: I used the names we call each other, Sonic and Tails, in this, so don't be too startled when you run into them, okay? Enjoy! DATE WRITTEN: March 31st, 2015

My name is Eatos. Though, I've never always had that name.

It was given to me. Before I got it, I just went by what the humans usually called me.

Latias. Something like that.

My life wasn't very interesting back then… but it wasn't very boring, either.

Things got interesting though when a trainer found me – wanted me, for whatever reason.

I decided that if he wanted me bad enough, that he had to chase me. Follow me. Earn me.

It was a game that turned into a struggle. He didn't want to chase me all across what humans like him call the "Jhoto Region", he wanted to kidnap me. Put me in a tiny little ball and never use me again.

I ran. I fought back. It always made him groan and made him stomp one of his feet and try again later when I got away.

But then he came back with a "Butterfree", there was these green things all around me, and then I saw his feet.. and the ground…

And I woke up in a ball.

He caught me. He kidnapped me. I was his now, and he never wanted to touch me again. I could tell.

I watched. Through the ball he caught me in – a black and yellow one. As he got on a train and headed towards some place named "Kalos"… We had to stop at a place named "Unova" first, though. He seemed to realize he left something at home… but boarded a train for "Kalos" right after we got off anyway.

I knew I wasn't going to be released out of my ball again, so I didn't bother to get to know his other Pokemon. I was in purgatory. A purgatory I got for just being playful.

Serves me right, I suppose. My brother always told me I'd end up in a situation like this someday… And I would now, never see him again.

I cried myself to sleep in my ball on the train ride.

I woke up thanks to the sudden thrust of the train stopping. I opened my eyes, slowly, and was surprised to see such a different location. Brighter. Happier.

It's here that I wonder… Why did we come here?

It wasn't long before I found my answer.

Someone with fuzzy brown hair and green eyes stood before my trainer. He seemed to be excited, which had me curious, as he handed my trainer a ball.

I watched as my trainer laughed at what he received. Was he that soulless? Once he pocketed the ball … he reached for me.

The hand I thought would never touch me again, did. And it touched me for the sake of giving me away – I was being handed to this new trainer, and as I watched his hand hold me, I was scared.

Was this trainer never going to touch me like the other one? Was I just going to be handed off? Again and again?

My thoughts were broken by a gasp. A gasp, and bright eyes. Shining with wonder.

I didn't understand. What made him so happy?

As quick as he received me… he let me out. For the first time in what felt like forever… I was hovering in the air, just a little ways above him, as he… stared at me with those bright eyes as he shook his fists in excitement. I blinked and stared at him.

Was… I the reason he was excited?

"Wow…! A Latias…! My Latias…!"

I… couldn't believe what I was hearing…! I nearly soared even higher above him at the thought…!

"Thanks, Tails…!"

I looked over at my previous trainer, seeing not a soulless smirk, but… a heartfelt grin and blue eyes that showed a brotherly love for my… new trainer…

Is that why I was pursued so relentlessly…?

"Don't mention it. I mean, you did give Pokemon Training another chance, so… why not start it right with one of your favorite Pokemon?"

This trainer – "Tails" – … Caught me for this one…? As a gift…?

"I'm so happy, thank you!"

I looked over to see green eyes looking into mine. A nervous grin on my trainer's face as he stepped towards me, reaching out to me.

"H-hi! … Latias!"

He wanted to touch me. Befriend me. Get to know me.

I was caught for a trainer… who wanted me.

As nervous and unsure as I was, that helped me. Made me feel better. Made me feel like I might have a home with him.

With that in mind, I adjusted myself with a swish, and leaned my head down quick. Purring against his hand. His eyes grew larger, and he laughed with plenty of heart in it as he opened his arms for a hug. I flew into it, and his excitement grew.

"Thank you thank you thank you!" He called to the other trainer. This person… really liked me already. And he hadn't even gotten to know me yet. All because I was someone he wanted to befriend like nothing else. For what I'm assuming years…

It felt nice. He stroked my coat in thought as he calmed down. But the happiness never left.

"I need to name you, don't I?"

A name? They gave those? I looked at him attentively.

"Well… I like Eatos! Do you like that?"

I cooed at him happily. Excitedly. Eatos sounded great! It fit me just fine!

"Alright then!" He laughed. "Eatos it is!"

Wow. He really liked me.

"Welcome to the team, Eatos!"

I have now known this trainer – Sonic – for a few months now. We've traveled all over Kalos together and he's told me many stories. Pet me and stroked my coat many times as he got to know me. I have a ribbon I sometimes wear – that I earned working alongside him against the "Elite Four". He calls me one of his "Aces". I'm guessing that's a term trainers use for their favorites! I'm thrilled!

And now, as he stargazes and thinks of the girl he loves… he turns his attention to me. The pokemon dozing off at his side; curled around him.

"Hey. Eatos…? You know your brother?"

I cooed happily. I tilted my head after.

"I'm thinkin'… when we head over to Hoenn… We're gonna find him."

I'm sure that when he said that, my eyes shone just like his did when he first met me. My mouth hung open. Would he really?

"We're gonna bring him home to you and make him part of the team, too. Just you wait."

I cried out happily next to him. Nuzzling his forehead as he laughed like we often did. Once I felt like he understood how happy I was to hear that. I stopped. And reflected on how my life had changed.

I went from a troublemaking drifter, to a beloved favorite. I was beyond thrilled.

I looked up to the stars with a smile on my face. Alongside my trainer.

Wait for me, brother. We'll be together soon.
