Second chapter of this fanfic. I know I made a mistake, with Alto mare being in Hoenn, and the whole thing being in Hoenn, but I want to keep it like that. I'll try to make this longer and more descriptive, last chapter was written late at night where I live. I'm not American. (which you can probably tell from the last chapter, because I said "Pokémon Centre" Also, to clear something about communication:

"Stuff like this" Is telepathy, used by the Lati-duo and maybe a Gardevoir if I add that.

"But this" Is human speech, for example like Ash and Team Rocket's Meowth uses.

{this is} Pokemon that can almost speak, like Dragonite.

(and this) is your general "pika, pika pi" kind of thing that only pokémon interpret. I will usually add translations if what the Pokémon are saying is important.

Now, on with the show!

I caught a Latias!

"So, what was it like back in Kanto?" Latias asked across the table to Ash. The restaurant was lit dimly by a scented wax candle burning in between them.

"Well, there were lots of different pokémon that you can't find here. For example, instead of Taillow, we have Pidgey!" Ash replied happily, staring dreamily at Latias.

"Pidgey? I've never heard that before. What about the people, are they nice? What was your home town like?" At this point Latias realized she was human; she looked amazing. Flowing blonde hair, sparkling green eyes… No wonder Ash couldn't take his eyes off her.

"I lived in Pallet Town before I went on adventure around Kanto, then came here, and met you, and I don't regret it…" Latias felt him leaning in, and following her instincts, leant in too.

She was about to kiss her true love. Feeling a stirring in her chest, she leant the last little distance and brought her lips to his. Latias' head was ringing out songs of joy when she involuntarily opened her eyes. Levitating right beside the candle was her brother. The last thing she saw was a charged Ice Beam heading straight at her.

She woke up. Slobber was all over her pillow, and the Taillow were chirping. It was the middle of the day already. Leaping from her bed, the Red Eon twin flew out of the door to find Ash. The crew of Misty, Brock, Bianca and Ash were sleeping on the cushions in the lobby of the centre.

"Bianca, wake up," Latias whispered to Bianca. Unfortunately, Latias was feeling groggy and sent the thought to everyone within several metres. The gang woke with a start, and looked around warily. Sucking up her confidence, Latias flew up to Ash and spoke to him quietly.

"Ash, you know how you're new to Hoenn, and want to become a Pokémon Master?"

"Umm, Yes…"

"I have an idea. I could be your pokémon!"

"Really? You'd let me capture you?!"

"Yes, if it will help with your dream." Latias smiled. She wanted Ash to be happy. "Just please let me out of my pokéball like Pikachu" Without hesitation Ash threw the ball at her, encapsulating the pokémon, shaking three times, and clicking.

"I CAUGHT A LATIAS!" Ash yelled to no-one in particular. He then remembered his deal to the Eon pokémon and let her out of her ball. She sighed relief, for she loved to fly around and just be with her crush.

"That's very nice, son!" Drake bellowed as he entered the centre. Latias jumped and activated her light-refracting ability to make herself invisible. "Wait, did you just say Latias?" He had a slight Scottish accent. "You do know that's a legendary Pokémon, don't ya?"

"See for yourself!" Ash said excitedly. "Latias, show him." She disabled her cloaking and Drake gasped. The dragon trainer from the League had just seen a dragon-type said to not exist.

"Young man, you have my congratulations! But with that being a legendary dragon, and me being a dragon-type expert, would it benefit you to have me help train it?" Drake announced.

"Well, it's up to Latias herself really." Ash shrugged.

"Ash, if I train with him you can beat the league! Just ask to come along too if you're worried about me." Latias looked hopefully at Ash.

"Then it's settled! We'll train with you!" Cried Ash triumphantly.

"Very wise, kid," Drake nodded. "Meet me in Ever Grande City at midday tomorrow. My Flygon will be waiting. They, too, are eager to train." With that, he strode out of the centre and sent out his Salamence. "Fly, Salamence!" Drake yelled, and was whisked into the sky.

"So… Ever Grande City in 20 hours… how we gonna get there, Latias?"

Latias had a plan. She took a deep breath and telepathized to the gang. They would hike to the next town's pokémon centre and rest there, then in the morning, board a ferry to Ever Grande there. The gang headed off down the road, into the sunset.

As always, please give your honest opinion in the reviews. It helps me a lot. Remember, tell me what you want to see! I'm not very creative so I need plots and ideas. Thanks.
