Chapter Two: Petalburg Forest

Ash and the gang, along with Latias, walked off the ship and were now heading to Petalburg City, where Ash was going to get his 5th gym badge. "I can't believe that I'm traveling!" Latias squealed. "Calm down Latias." Ash said. "Sorry I'm just so excited; I've never been outside of Altomare!" Latias said excitedly.

"Ash is right you need to calm down." Brock said, "We understand that you never been outside of Altomare, but you need to calm down." The oldest of the kids said. "Come on guys let's hurry!" Max said as he started to run. "Max slow down!" May yelled as she followed her little brother through the forest.

"Stop you two; we don't want you to get lost!" Brock said running after the two siblings. "Come on Latias." Ash said as he grabbed his girlfriend's hand and started running after the others. "Ash where are we?" Latias asked while they ran, "How can we get lost here?" She asked. "Well to answer your first question we're in the Petalburg Forest." Ash said, "And when you're in a forest like this you can get lost pretty easily." He said. "Oh." Latias said.

When everyone caught up with Max they sat down and rested. Max was lying on the round, May was sitting on a log, Brock was leaning up against a tree, Latias was leaning against Ash while he sat on the ground, and Pikachu laid on Ash's lap. All six were breathing heavily; trying to catch their breath.

Just then Ash's stomach growled causing everyone to start laughing. "I guess it time for lunch." Brock said as the laughing calmed down. "Sounds like it." Max said as he sat up. They all agreed to have lunch and then start towards Petalburg City. "Um question." Latias said. "And what's that?" Brock asked as he got lunch ready.

"Well what am I supposed to have, because I'm a Pokémon but I made myself look like a human and all?" Latias said. "Well since you made yourself look like a human and since there are probably other people around its best you eat what we're eating." Brock said. "Ok, just making sure." Latias said. "And am I allowed to my regular from?" Latias asked. "Yeah it's ok." Brock said "But when it's time to eat you need to go back to this form ok?" Brock said. "Ok." Latias said before she turned back to her Pokémon form.

"Hey Brock shouldn't we let our Pokémon out?" May asked. "Yeah, we should." Brock said. "Alright come on out everyone!" All three trainers yelled calling out their Pokémon. Out of all the Pokémon there were (going from Ash to Brock to May) Pikachu, Torkoal, Corphish, Grovyle, Taillow, Fortress, Marshtomp, Combusken, Skitty, and Beautifly.

Luckily all the Pokémon were introduced to Latias when they were at Altomare before they had left, so they all knew that Ash and Latias were a couple. All the Pokémon all cried out happy to be out of their poke-balls. "Hi!" Latias cried out as she flew around the clearing they were in. "it feels so much better being in this form." She said to herself.

Ash smiled as he watched his girlfriend do laps around the clearing. "Ash." Latias said as she flew over to him. "Yeah?" Ash asked. "Come here." Latias said pulling Ash form where he stood. "Where are we going?" Ash asked as his girlfriend pulled him through the forest; a few feet away from the clearing. "I wanted to spend some time with you." Latias said. "Alright but let's not go too far." Ash said. Latias rolled her eyes at him. "Don't roll your eyes at me." Ash said playfully.

"Did you forget that I'm a Pokémon; a legendary at that?" Latias asked, "I can find my way back to the camp site with ease." Latias said not given Ash time to answer her question, since she knew the answer. Ash just shook his head and let Latias lead the way to a smaller clearing not far from the one the other were at.

Then Latias let go of Ash's hand and flew over to a pine tree and flouted there waiting for Ash to get to her. Ash chuckled at Latias and walked over to her and then sat against the tree. Latias then laid down with her head on Ash's lap. Ash then started rubbing Latias's neck while he rested his head against the tree.

After a few minutes Pikachu came and got them since lunch was ready. Pikachu left them so he could go eat his lunch. "Latias," Ash said. "Yeah, Ash." Latias said. Ash asked Latias if she ever ate human food. "Yeah; when me and Bianca would go out and about we would stop and get something to eat." Latias said. "The only time I ate Pokémon food was when I ate in the secret garden." Latias said before they got to the clearing where everybody had just started eating. Latias turned back to her human form. Luckily since her and Bianca had always gone out to eat when the two were out and about she knew how to use eating utensils.

After lunch the group cleaned up the area. They were about to leave before a metal claw grabbed Pikachu. "Pika!" Pikachu cried. "Pikachu!" Ash yelled as the group turned to see two people and a cat like Pokémon.

"Team Rocket!" everyone except for Latias yelled. "Who are they?" Latias asked. "There a group of Pokémon thieves who are always after Pikachu." Ash whispered. Latias didn't say anything just looked at the trio who had Pikachu in a cage. "Hey who's that?" Meowth asked as he pointed his paw at Latias. Latias winced and held on to Ash scared that the trio would be like Annie and Oakley.

The whole group stayed silent. "Tell us would you." James said. "It doesn't matter to you." Ash said through clenched jaws. Latias stayed behind Ash holding on to him with her face buried in his back. "Are you two together?" Meowth asked. "At least tell us that." James said. Ash didn't say anything; all he did was grab a poke-ball and called out Grovyle.

"Gro!" the gecko like Pokémon called out as he prepared to attack. "Grovyle get Pikachu away from them!" Ash told his Pokémon, "Use Leaf blade." He called out. "Grovyle." The grass type said as he ran towards the trio of Pokémon thieves with the leaf on his arm glowing.

"Oh no you don't; Seviper use poison tail." Jessie said throwing a poke-ball. "Sevi!" A snake like Pokémon with a blade like tail came out and his tail glowed purple. The two blades clashed and both Pokémon were pushed back. "Grovyle use bullet seed." Ash said as his Pokémon opened its mouth and shot seeds at Seviper.

"Seviper!" The poison type cried as he was hit by the attack. "Seviper use bite!" Jessie yelled. Seviper then slivered towards Grovyle; his fangs bared ready to strike. "Grovyle dodge it and use leaf blade." Ash said. "Gro." Grovyle said as he jumped out of the way of Seviper, with his leaf on his arm glowing and then hit Seviper in the head.

Seviper cried out in pain as he was thrown towards Team Rocket. "Beautifly go get…" May started but before she could finish Latias changed to her Pokémon form and charged at Team Rocket with her wings looking like they were metal. "Latias!?" Team Rocket yelled as the female eon Pokémon hit Seviper witch knocked him into the cage Pikachu was in and broke it. Pikachu then ran over to Latias and jumped on her back.

Pikachu told Latias something and she nodded her agreeing to what every Pikachu had said. Latias then flew up some. The two Pokémon started gathering electricity and shot one huge bolt at Team Rocket. When the bolt hit the Pokémon thieves were sent flying. "Team Rocket's blasting off aging!" The trio yelled as they flew off.

Latias then flew down to the others. Pikachu jumped off her back and ran to Ash and jumped on his shoulder. Latias then changed back to her human form. "Is everyone ok?" she asked. "Yeah we're all fine." Brock said.

Latias nodded her head as they all started to head out. Ash and Latias were in the lead May and Max were second while Brock walked behind the two siblings. "Latias you shouldn't have done that." Ash whispered to her.

"What do you mean?" Latias asked. "Well now that Team Rocket knows that you're with us they're going to be after you." Ash said. "Don't worry about me Ash; I can take care of myself I'll defeat them every time they try." Latias said trying to reassure Ash. Ash knew that but he had a strange feeling that Latias wasn't so safe now that the Pokémon thieves knew about her so he decided to keep her with as much as possible…
