The sky was dark, thunder and lightning raging every few seconds. The city below was in dire trouble from a evil Pokemon trainer, His Kabutops, and Aerodactl. Aerodactl flew through the city, using its Hyper Beam on Pokemon and Humans alike. Kabutops leaped through the city, skewering anything and everything in his path. The evil Pokemon trainer himself had a strange weapon with an unreal power source...These were dark times.
Latios sped through the sky towards the city that was called Altomare. The sight share he had with Latias had told him she had been kidnapped by a prehistoric flying Pokemon, an Aerodactl. Latios couldn't handle the visions of Latias. She was in pain...
Latios, finally reaching Altomare, stopped at a building that looked like a museum. Latias, she was in there. He knew it. As Latios entered, he heard wheezing. Deep wheezing. Along with the drip of rain water through the shattered glass roof in the middle of the room. On the ground, lay Latias. Mortally wounded.
"Latias! No!" screamed Latios.
"Latios...I tried...I tried to stop him...there was nothing I could do, he..he's too strong." replied Latias.
"Who, Latias, who?" asked Latios.
"That...evil trainer...I don't know what he wanted from me..." she said.
"La...Latios...I..love you."
"I love you too, Latias." replied Latios, lovingly.
"Well...well..well. She she wasn't alone now, was she? I knew you'd come, Latios. Now, the destruction of this city is at hand...right after I'm finished with you..."
Latios awoke, bathed in sweat. He got up off the ground and propped himself up on a tree.
"Wha...what happened? It...was a dream? Who was She? Who was He?"Latios thought.
"It...it must have been a dream...nothing but a dream...but it seemed so real...so drastic...so sad."
As the sluggishness of sleep wore off, Latios slowly flew up to an altitude even with most of the tree canopies. This was Southern Island. The most beautiful island in the region. There was food, water, Pokemon. There were many Pokemon, some of which Latios was good friends with. However, despite all of this greatness, something was missing. Latios couldn't pinpoint exactly what was, but he felt lonely. In the past years, he had grown up quite a bit. Both mentally and physically. Growing up means he will notice more and more about the world...such as that he has never seen a Pokemon like himself for as long as he could remember...Latios pondered these questions as he went about his daily flights. Something about all of this didn't quite add up. There were those instances...where he had to protect himself or his friends from imminent danger, in which he had to use his powers. His powers. No other being had such powers. So many things he could find different about himself...
Despite this worry, it was another beautiful day on the secluded Southern Island. Latios took a deep breathe of the crisp, cold morning air. Paradise. The sun was just rising over the horizon, so beautiful...if only he had someone...
"No! I must stop worrying...I must stop worrying...I am different...but there will be answers. Oh there will be answers...I hope..." Latios kept telling himself.
He found telling himself that worked, more often than not. Still, he couldn't shake the feeling of loneliness. Latios continued to stare out across the vast ocean, the morning fog was beginning to subside to make way for a bright day. Latios closed his eyes, to cherish this moment. It had rained the last few days, so this sunshine was more than welcomed at Southern Island.
Three minutes passed. Ten minutes passed. As Latios lay with his eyes closed, he heard fluttering in the trees. Eight Pidgeys flew out, accompanied by Pidgeot. They flew ever so quietly over to Latios.
"Shh...shhhh...quiet! You're too loud." One whispered.
"No no, you be quiet I'm trying to sneak here."
"So am ! Be quiet!"
"No you...be quiet."
"Shut up, all of you! You're all going to ruin it!" said the seemingly wiser Pidgey.
They all, ever so quietly, surrounded Latios. They knew what they were going to do. All at once...
GROWL!!
Latios yelped, jetted 5 feet into the air, and fell face down back onto the swaying grass.
"Ha, ha ha! Haha! Heya Latios!" They all said in unison.
"Ahha ha! Hey guys! You know I hate it when you do that..." said Latios
"Oh, we know, that's why we do it!!!"
"Ya ya, were just trying to cheer you up, buddy!"
"Yeah, why so down buddy?" they all said, one after another.
"One at a time, guys, please. You talk so fast I can't understand, hehe." Latios replied, cheerfully.
"Sorry."
"Yea sorry."
"Really sorry, Latios."
"Yeah."
"Well you see guys, I feel...lonely..." said Latios.
"Lonely?"
"Uhhh...lonely?"
"Not good...not good."
"We should help!"
"Yeah help!"
"Help sounds good!"
"This is a job for the Pidgey Squad!!"
"Yeah!"
They all flew off, every one of them. One by one into the sky. Latios just loved these little guys. So mischievous, yet so willing to help a friend in need. Latios looked up into the in which the Pidgeys had come from, and he saw Pidgeot, their father.
"Heh, heh. Well, sorry about them, Latios. They can be crazy sometimes. Especially on a beautiful day like this." said Pidgeot.
"Aww...don't worry about it. I love those little guys. They bring me joy. They are always willing to help me." replied Latios.
" So what's this I hear about you being lonely? Is something missing, Latios?" asked Pidgeot, quizzically.
"Yes, you see, I see all these other Pokemon, and only one of me. I don't see any other Latios." Latios said, staring at the ground, deep in thought.
"Latios...have you ever heard of a Pokemon named Latias?" asked Pidgeot.
Latias...Latias...so similar to Latios...Latias...A Pokemon similar to him?
"Uhh...no...but..it sounds similar to my name.." replied Latios.
"Ah yes...a Latias is a female of your kind.." said Pidgeot, laughing.
A female of his kind? Someone is possibly out there for him? Latios was overjoyed.
"So you're saying.." Latios continued. " There is someone out there for me?"
"Precisely..." replied Pidgeot.
Pidgeot put his wing on Latios's shoulder.
"You see Latios, there are just Pokemon, and then there are special Pokemon. There are only a few of your kind, Latios. There are millions of me. Heh." laughed Pidgeot.
"You're one of a kind, Pidgeot. Don't say that." Latios said, cheerfully.
"Ha, you know what I mean Latios. Don't get like that. You know what I mean." said Pidgeot.
"I have always viewed you as an elder, Pidgeot. You are so wise." said Latios.
"Well, I've been on this island for a good thirty years, Latios. I know how our world goes. I also know of your kind's prophecy." he said.
"Prophecy? What prophecy? I didn't know about that." replied Latios.
"Oh, you will Latios. When you meet a Latias." Pidgeot said, smiling.
"Where exactly would I find her?" Latios asked, obviously confused.
"You will come to eachother, when the time is right. I believe that is how the prophecy goes." said Pidgeot.
Latios thought of the dream he had the night before. That..that red Pokemon...that was Latias! That was her! Was that dream a sign?
"Pidgeot...I have something I need to tell you." said Latios.
"Go for it, my friend." he said hapily.
"First...I have a question...I am blue, so what color is a Latias?" Latios asked.
"Red. She would be red." replied Pidgeot.
Latios had been correct! That red figure was a Latias! Now for the rest of the dream...
"Well...you see Pidgeot...I had a dream last night...I was in a city, and there was chaos. Humans and Pokemon were being killed by a man bathed in darkness...with his evil Pokemon...I can remember...their glowing eyes. I was in a building...and..and I held what I now know to be Latias, in my hands. She was...dying.."
"Latios...this may be a sign indeed that something is to, or has been happening. You never knew of Latias before the dream, so this must be a sign, indeed. Your time to protect us might possible be at hand." replied Pidgeot, gravely.
"Possibly...I just don't know." said Latios, once again staring at the ground.
"Well...I better get back to the younglings...We can talk anytime, my friend. I am always willing to help you. Always. If anything is troubling you, you know you can always come to me." said Pidgeot.
"I know...thank you. You have been such a help to me lately...I wish I could repay you somehow." Latios said.
"Maybe you can someday, Latios. Goodbye, my friend." Pidgeot said as he flew off into the sky.
"Goodbye Pidgeot." Latios said before laying down in the sun again.
Maybe...just maybe he will meet a Latias. Latios lay down in comfort on the ever-swaying island grass. Latios gazed far into the horizon, look around the island, admiring the tranquility of Southern Island like never before. He was...at peace...
