Hello again! I couldn't really wait for people to review this story because once I read it over again, I realized that it was significantly short... so I hope that the readers of can keep up with my writing!

Mijumaruwott I would like to thank you for that correction, throughout the whole chapter Pikachu's name, it always drove me freaking nuts! But I was too lazy to actually do anything about it...

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own any of the original characters except Ken, and some new things coming up in this chapter.

…

Last time on The Unknown Latios...

Latias' stroll has been going very well for her until she noticed a matte black painted speedboat following her with two stylishly dressed women in the driver and passenger seats.

One of the women called out to the disguised Latias, " Hey there! You in the green top, we want to talk about how cute your outfit looks, Latias..."

…

Latias was shocked, how could these very stylish women know that she was a pokemon? But before she could think any further on their discovery, the woman who bore blue purple-ish hair said,

"Go Espeon! Capture Latias so we can "discuss" with her on her amazing outfit!" The woman next to her with her blonde hair tied up into two buns called out her pokemon and said, "Go Ariodos! Why don't you talk to her about her stylish clothing too!"

Frightened, Latias quickly turned around and sprinted as fast as her human legs could take her, she couldn't believe it, how could these people have discovered who she really was?

She was too scared to think about it anymore, the only thing that mattered at that time was that she get as far away as possible from these criminals and the increasingly closer Espeon and Ariodos.

Unfortunately for Latias, her complex psychic mind was blurred from making elaborate decisions which could have saved her, but this wasn't the case. She made an immediate right over a small bridge, but in her effort to escape she found herself trapped in a white stringy substance.

"Good job Ariodos, now make sure she doesn't escape!" "Annie you took the fun from the chase!" whined the woman with blue hair. "Well you snooze you lose Oakley." Annie responded.

The two partners drove their boat up to the edge of the bridge which held their prisoner captive. "Well well well, Latias you weren't much of a fight were you? Well it's better than having to fight you." Oakley said with a sneer. "Please, I pray to Arceus that somebody comes and saves me!" Thought the terrified Latias.

…

"Mmm this ice cream is delicious!" Brock commented, enjoying every lick of his chocolate dessert. "Yeah no kidding, this is amazing!" Ash said. While our four heroes childishly enjoyed their ice cream, Pikachu sensed that something was wrong, as if somebody was in trouble.

"Why do I feel like someone's in trouble? I keep sensing this evil coming from that direction... hmm I think I should go investigate!" Pikachu mumbled something in pokespeech so quietly that it was barely a whisper, "Uhg, the things I do to be the good guy or pokemon."

Without a second thought the electric type jumped off of his trainer's comfortable shoulder and landed on the tiled ground, and quickly went into a sprint in the direction that his conscious was telling him to go to.

"Hey Pikachu where are you going?" asked Ash who still wanted to enjoy his ice cream but swiftly handed it to Misty and engaged his pokemon followed by Ken who had surprisingly fit the whole ice cream in his mouth. Ken too had sensed that something was wrong.

"What was that all about?" asked a very confused Misty. "I don't know but what ever it is it must be another "Ash" moment. The best thing to do now is wait for Ash to come back." "Are you sure we shouldn't follow him Brock?"

"Naw, I'm sure Ash is fine, and besides Ken is with him too." Brock replied. "Okay then" Misty whispered worried for her friends.

…

Ash managed to keep up with Pikachu just enough to not lose him through the twists and turns of Altomare. When Ash and Ken finally managed to catch up to Pikachu, they spotted two women crowding around a helpless girl in a green top and a short skirt who was tied up in an Ariodos web.

"Hey what do you think you're doing?" Ken yelled as he and Ash ran up to the girl and began to quickly tear at the silver material. "You can't just do this to people, what did she ever do to you?" Ash demanded.

The two women backed away from their prey, letting the two boys save the girl. "And just who do you think you are?" Oakley asked with curiosity, "What makes you think that we're the bad guys? Maybe she's the one who's done something bad." Obviously catching her sarcasm the two boys ignored the woman's remark and continued on their work to set this familiar girl free.

"Enough of this, Ariodos hit these so called heroes with your poison sting!" Annie ordered. The large spider spat out infinite waves of purple glowing needles which were hurdled towards Ken and Ash. "Look out Ken!" Ash yelled.

But before Ken could move an inch, his friend Ash was already in front of him and the damsel in distress. Time seemed to slow down immensely as it quickly came back to real time.

The poison sting finally hit it's target, Ash screamed in pain as needle after needle coated in poison ripped through his skin, spraying blood and poison everywhere.

The sight was gruesome, Ash's back was completely red in blood and the poison quickly spread through his veins which would paralyze him within a few minutes, then kill him in the next few hours.

Ken watched in horror as his friend plummeted to the ground with a thud, Pikachu ran up to his fallen trainer in disbelief, tears started to from in the mouse's eyes as he thought of how he could save his friend.

Latias still in her human disguise was also staring at the gruesome scene in front of her, she wanted to scream at the top of her lungs, but she was too scared to, and that fact that her human form has no vocal chords. "ASH!" Ken screamed as loud as his lungs would allow him to.

"You're going to pay for this!" "Oh? And how exactly are you gonna do that?" the evil duo said in unison. Without thinking Ken rushed up to Annie at incredible speeds and launched a punch at her which was aimed directly at her nose.

The woman incredulously dodged the punch in one swift fluid motion and countered it with a leg sweep, causing Ken to fall straight down. "Ha you're too slow kid, hey Oakley should we use the new equipment that the Team Rocket scientists gave us? The kid's starting to fight back."

"Of course we should! We can toy with them a lot more if we do." Oakley replied in a demented voice. After she had finished talking, the two so-called Team Rocket agents flung their arms down which two swords emblazoned in elemental emblems came down from their sleeves and into their hands. "Hey those nerds back at HQ know what they're doing!" Annie commented.

Ken had just got up when hell had just been unleashed on his body. Th elemental symbols on their swords give the swords the elemental power of pokemon!

The type the duo were using was fire, in which they unleashed a barrage of blinding fast slashes at his torso. Flesh was ripped from Ken's body, long gashes appeared across his chest as blood streamed down from his wounds like a waterfall.

Ken's blood curdling screams rang in Latias' ears as she witnessed this innocent boy risking his life for her. She felt so useless, she couldn't do anything but watch. But during her self loathing, the unexpected happened.

In a final clash of flaming swords, Annie and Oakley thrust one of their swords into the shoulders of Ken, leaving them in their place to burn on in his flesh. Ken finally fell down mirroring Ash's movement and fell to the ground with a thud.

Latias wanted to cry, scream, and run away all at the same time, but she was still restrained to her silver prison.

These two boys had risked their lives for her, and what has she done? Nothing. She just stood their and watched. She hated herself so much that she felt like her life was not worth saving.

"What a disappointment," Oakley said, "Yeah they weren't much of a fight" Annie replied while kicking Ken's ribcage in boredom. "Well at least she's still left, the boss said that we don't kill the target, but he never said we could have any fun." Oakley said with a smirk. "Alright lets do this!" Annie cheered.

"Oh no here they come!" Latias thought helplessly, "well I deserve this, after I didn't help out those two, I deserve both of their punishments." Latias looked down waiting for her punishment, which quickly came. "Hey Annie just remember that since she's that main target we shouldn't do so much damage." Oakley reassured her partner who gave a quick nod in response.

They started slowly, cutting Latias' cheek, then her arms and legs causing her to collapse from the pain. "This isn't as much fun as I thought it would be." Annie pouted, "sigh I guess we should just get in one good slash and bring her back." Oakley said greatly disappointed.

"Alright here goes!" they both said as they lunged towards the helpless girl. Just before the moment of impact, Ken's pupils lit up and his body reacted without his content. His body had got up, and managed to pull out both swords from his shoulders just in time to block both of the villain's swords in a flash. "What?" both Annie and Oakley gasped. But before they could say another word, Ken had counter attacked disarming the duo of their weapons and slashed each of them directly across the chest, the gash was so deep that parts of their ribcage were exposed.

The attack had so much force in it that it launched the two back into the boat along with their pokemon who were now staring in disbelief at their trainers.

The whole scene was a bloody mess, chunks of flesh lay on the crimson covered bridge, rotting in the sun. Ken looked to his right to see Ash's decaying body, but he was still breathing which was good. He looked to his left to find a knocked out Latias still in her human form on the floor. "How the hell did I do that?" Ken muttered in shock.

In an enormous effort Ken managed to pull Ash, Pikachu, and the still disguised Latias overs his two wounded shoulders, and walked away from the hellish scene.

Ken quickly noticed that Ash didn't have mush time and he need medical attention quick. He then mustered up all the energy he could and raced to the pokemon center to drop Ash off at.

Luckily, Ken had found Misty and Brock walking a few alleys away from where they were. "Brock, Misty here! Take Ash to the pokemon center, two criminals attacked us but Ash has been poisoned!" "What? Who did this!" said Brock who was panicking at the sight of his quickly decaying friend.

"Just take him to the pokemon center!" Ken ordered. Brock obeyed his new friend and took Ash and Pikachu to the pokemon center followed by a crying Misty who couldn't believe what has happened.

"But Ken what about you! You need medical attention too!" Brock called out to the beat up figure before him,

"Don't worry what you should really worry about is Ash, that poison has been in his system for too long, so just go! Hurry!" Ken told his friend. Brock reluctantly turned away towards the pokemon center.

Ken set off back into the maze of alleyways, when he just realized that he doesn't know where to go. But then he remembered that the two women still might be after them despite the fact that Ken had just slashed the two of them open with their own swords.

He still didn't want to take any chances and continued to run aimlessly through alley after alley.

All the adrenaline had dissipated from Ken's system and now it was taking it's toll on his body. Ken's sprint quickly went down to a slow walk and his vision blurred causing him to become disoriented and dizzy.

Ken took one last step before he tripped on a crack and plummeted once again towards the ground, but this time there was an added wall to his horror, Ken braced for an impact that never came and when he opened his eyes he found that half of his body and Latias' body was phased through outside and a strange black range.

"What's this?" Ken muttered to himself as he stood back up and continued to walk through the black vastness dripping blood with every step he took. What seemed like hours turned to minutes as Ken had reached the end of the tunnel and was now exposed to a beautiful garden, blooming with flowers and trees. "Wow it's so beautiful!" Ken said to himself, gazing in awe at the beautiful garden.

Ken tried to quickly move towards the closest tree which resulted in a failure, the only movement he could make now without blacking out from the pain was to limp all he way to his destination.

When he finally limped up to the tree he set Latias down to lie on against it. He then took off his backpack and took out a medium sized medical kit in which he pulled out bandages and ointment to help make the wounds heal faster.

Working as fast as he could, Ken finished patching up the girl and stood up with a sigh of relief when a small explosion appeared from the fountain on Ken's right revealing nothing but air. Ken prepared himself for one last hit to protect this girl with his life, but before he was ready a large distortion in the air came speeding towards him and rammed him in his side, breaking three ribs.

The hit sent Ken flying into a tree, blacking out upon impact.

…

Back at the pokemon center

"Please I need both of you to stay outside of the operating room so that you don't get in the way." Said a very irritated Nurse Joy. Brock and Misty reluctantly agreed to the Nurse's order and sat down in the lobby while their friend was pushed on a stretcher through closed doors. "Why is this happening Brock?" asked the weeping red-headed girl. "I don't know Misty, but no matter what I know that Ash will pull through."

…

'Latias! Wake up Latias! Are you ok?' Latios begged his sister. In a few short seconds his sister came to, 'Latios, is that you? What happened? Where did those two boys go?" Latias responded in a soft voice.

'Oh thank Arceus that you're ok! What happened to you little sis?' 'Big brother, we were attacked...' Before the poor injured dragon could finish her sentence she too blacked out falling into her brother's arms while changing back into her true form.

At the very same moment, the girl that Latias was disguised as walked into the garden hold a bag of groceries. "Latios what happened?" the mystery girl asked in a shocked tone. She had arrived at a scene of a severely splintered tree with a young boy dieing at its roots, and an injured Latias in the arms of her brother.

'Bianca! There was this intruder trying to have his way with Latias! But luckily I was able to stop him before he had done any damage.' Latios had telepathed to Bianca. But before she had the chance to reply, the "intruder" was covered in a bright blue veil which quickly dissipated revealing a large blue and white dragon who looked just like Latios but a little smaller!

Both pokemon and human were awestruck until Bianca finally came to and rushed to the eon's side pulling some medical equipment from the shack which contained all of her and her grandfather's medical equipment. "Latios I highly doubt that your assumption of this boy, er uh pokemon is correct. But we need to push those thoughts aside for now and help him!" "Whatever" Latios thought to himself with a vein popping from his temple and crossing his arms over his chest.

…

"Your friend has made a full recovery, but he will still need to rest for at least five days." The Nurse informed the two gym-leaders.

"Thank you so much Nurse Joy!" they both cried.

"Haha no need to thank me, it's just my job to heal people." Nurse Joy said with a warm smile.

Surprisingly Brock had not jumped at Nurse Joy thanks to the seriousness of the moment.

…

Ken had woken up from horrific dreams and a painful sleep from his body becoming sore. As he took in his surroundings, he found himself on a mattress with blankets in some kind of room filled with medical supplies.

He looked out the window to find that it was pitch black outside. "Uhg what happened?" Ken thought to himself. But before anymore questions could be asked, an imaginary door with a small golden lock appeared in Kens mind, as he witnessed a smaller key slowly fitting into this door and opening it causing a quick flash of what's happened and a few other memories to become unlocked.

"Wait I'm a Latios? and who was that girl that healed me? Uhg! too many questions that are unanswered!" Ken gave a small sob at this overwhelming wave of information that was fired at him. Ken quickly checked his wounds to find them all patched up and mostly healed, this surprised Ken.

His wounds were massive along with his now fixed broken ribs, "How is this even possible?" Ken thought. But he has made up his mind to ask questions when the sun rose, but instead a petite red and white dragon at the end of his mattress caught his eye.

"A Latias?" Surprisingly, Ken thought of her as attractive, but pushed his feelings aside as well and put together his memories to show him that his dragon was the one he saved from being kidnapped.

The red eon was bandaged like him, except they were mainly on her wings and arms. She was shivering from the cold night air, Ken seemed to spot this and inched himself and the mattress towards her until she reached her. He then gently put her on the mattress,(since it was extremely large)and gave her more room and placed the blanket over her.

Ken was too tired to realize what he was doing, but in his mind the only thing that he was thinking of was getting this girl on a nice warm bed and out of the cold night air, which happened to be his bed. If someone were to walk in at that very moment, they would have seen two dragons in the same bed, and somehow their faces were touching and they were holding hands, but the way their necks and bodies arced it looked like the shape of a heart.

…

Latias had woken up from a very sore and painful sleep when she found herself face to face with another Latios other than her brother! She looked at the figure before her, identifying his muscle tone and other features, when she finally realized that their faces were touching and that they were holding hands while in the same bed!

Latias blushed furiously at this because she did not know if she did this subconsciously or if he did this. She backed away slightly from the sleeping eon and painfully rose from the bed. "Ow what happened? Uhg I wish that it was a little later than now." Latias thought to herself, remembering that she had come here to stay by the boy's side after she regained consciousness.

Latias had no choice but to get back in bed with the newly found Latios and fall asleep. What Latias didn't know about her slumber was that her friend Bianca came to check up on them a little early than when Latias woke up. And what Bianca found were two dragons in the shape of a heart, and of course, her artist instincts kicked in telling her to draw this scene which she did.

…

And that's the end of this chapter! And I know that these chapters are pretty short but I promise to make future chapters longer!
