The Shining Latios Chapter 2: The Shining Latios

Ash woke up to his mother knocking at the door, saying that if he didn't get up soon he was going to miss his boat. Ash, in his barely awake state was thinking, 'What boat?' Then it all came back to him. He was meeting Brock in Altomare in a week and his boat was leaving at 11:30 that morning. He looked at the clock. It said 10:30.

"I'M GONNA BE LATE!" Ash yelled, already starting to get dressed. Pikachu came into his room to see what was going on, then saw the clock, and Ash's near nervous breakdown state, and chuckled to himself. 'Here we go again.' He thought, walking out of the door, still chuckling.

Ash got dressed in record speed and quickly ate breakfast, practically shoving it down his throat.

"Thanks mom, bye mom!" Ash said, running out the door.

"Love you Ash, bye! Don't forget to change your underwear everyday!" Delia yelled to his quickly fading back. 'My boy's all grown up.' Delia thought to herself, getting a little misty eyed.

Ash got to Professor Oak's lab in about two minutes. Right when he got there, he yelled, "Professor Oak, I need five Pokeballs, quick!"

"You don't have to yell, Ash, I'm right here." Professor Oak said from about two feet away, rubbing his ears. "And I'll get your Pokeballs. But what's the big rush?"

"My boat's leaving in thirty minutes, that's the rush!" Ash yelled.

"I see, and could you please stop the yelling?" Oak said. Ash nodded, and Oak continued, "Now wait here while I get some spare Pokeballs."

Oak went to the back of his lab and when he came back, he was holding five empty Poke balls.

"Okay Ash, here are five empty Pokeballs. Use them wisely. Now then, go to your boat. And good luck on your next journey."

"Thanks Professor Oak, and bye." Ash said, managing to keep his voice at a reasonable level.

"Goodbye Ash." Professor Oak said as Ash was running towards the new port just south of Pallet Town.

'Thank god for this new port.' Ash thought to himself as he was running towards the docks. 'If they hadn't thought of building this port, I would've had to go all the way to Vermillion!'

The crew was just raising the gangplank when Ash arrived. "HEY!" Ash yelled, getting the crewmen's attention, "I have a ticket!"

"You made it just in time." One of the crewmen said, lowering the gangplank, "Welcome aboard the S.S. DeepOcean."

Ash thanked him and ran up the gangplank. Once he was inside the ship, he walked to the reception to get his room key.

"You are room number 308." The receptionist told him, "Enjoy your stay on the S.S. DeepOcean!"

Ash walked up the stairs to the third floor and found Room 308. He inserted the keycard into the slot and walked in.

"Wow." Ash said, looking around. The room had a king sized bed with a nightstand, a full kitchen, a full bathroom, and a computer.

"How mom could afford this is beyond me, buddy." Ash said, talking to Pikachu.

"Pika-pikachu." Pikachu said.

Ash took a moment to decipher what Pikachu had said, then got annoyed. "Everything is not beyond me!" He yelled at Pikachu. "Okay, maybe navigation… And manners… And maybe planning. But, ummm, food isn't beyond me, yeah, take that, Pikachu!"

Pikachu just rolled his eyes and went into the fridge to look for some ketchup.

The trip to Altomare took the rest of that day and the whole night. The S.S. DeepOcean docked in Altomare at about 9:45 the next day.

Ash woke up rested and was just finishing up demolishing half of the buffet table when a voice came over the loudspeaker.

"Hello. We have now docked in Altomare. The time is 9:45. We hope you enjoyed your stay aboard the S.S. DeepOcean." The voice said.

"Time to go, buddy." Ash said. Pikachu jumped onto Ash's shoulder and they got off of the boat.

"Ahh, this brings back memories, doesn't it, Pikachu?" Ash said to Pikachu. Pikachu nodded and chaaa'd in answer.

Ash walked down the sidewalks and alleys of Altomare trying to find the entrance to the Secret Garden. He had walked for about ten minutes before he was reminded of the reason why he was never allowed to read the maps.

"Pikachu, we're lost." Ash said, looking around at the small square where they were standing. Pikachu rolled his eyes as if to say, "No, really?"

Just then, he felt something picking him up. Or, at least, trying to pick him up. He had gained a few pounds since the last time he had seen Latias, after all.

"Hey, Latias. Is that you?" Ash asked to thin air. He heard a coo in response. "Yep, that's you alright. How have you been?" He felt something nudge against his cheek, then he was actually lifted up into the air.

"Wow, Latias, you got strong!" Ash said. He then saw how high up they were. "H-hey, Latias, mind going down a bit?"

He heard a giggle in his mind, and then a voice in his mind said, 'Oh, is the big bad hero scared of heights?' Then he heard another giggle.

"AHHHH! W-who's that?" Ash yelled, a little freaked out by a voice in his head.

'Relax,' the voice said, 'It's me, Latias. I'm using telepathy.'

"Ohhhh." Ash said. Pikachu, who was riding on Latias's head and had heard every word, sweatdropped. Latias just giggled.

'Oh, we're here.' Latias said, and she started to go lower and lower until they had landed in the Secret Garden.

"Wow, this place is still just as amazing as I remember it." Ash said.

And it was, too. The trees were still green and lush, the flowers were still in bloom, the bushes were still full and leafy, and the grass was just the right shade of green. The swing still hung on the tree branch, and the Soul Dew was still in the pedestal.

When Ash turned to look at the Soul Dew, he felt a presence calling out to him. So he walked over and touched the Soul Dew, and when he did, everything went black.

When he woke up, he was in a bluish kind of place that seemed to be a sphere. It had little red triangles all over the walls, if you could call them those. And in the center of it was none other than Latios.

"L-latios? I thought you were dead!" Ash said, surprised to see him.

"I am not dead," Latios said, "Just in a different form."

Ash jumped. "Did you just talk?" Ash said, not knowing if he was going insane or not.

"Yes, I did. As we are inside of my soul, we can understand each other perfectly. And no more interruptions, I want you to know why I called you here." He said the extra part at Ash opening his mouth to say something else. Ash shut it immediately.

"I shall get straight to the point." Latios said, "It has come to my attention that you have taken a liking to my sister." Ash opened his mouth to say something, but Latios cut him off. "No interruptions. I fully support this, but as you are, you are not strong enough to protect her. And also, I sense that something is about to happen, something terrible, but I cannot leave the Soul Dew." With that, Ash now knew where they were. "So, I am going to give you some of my power. It shall be enough to protect not only my sister, but the world if you train hard enough. But there will be, err, certain side-effects. They are not harmful, just strange. Do you accept? And yes, you may speak."

Ash decided to keep his words as few as possible and not to argue. "I accept." Ash said, in a rare moment of seriousness.

"Very well, we shall begin the power transfer. Prepare yourself." Latios said.

"How do I do that?" Ash asked.

"Just stand there and let me do all the work." Latios said. He then closed his eyes and went completely still.

Ash was just beginning to freak out and wonder if he was dead or not when Latios opened his eyes and placed his claws in a circle in the middle of his triangle on his chest. A bluish energy orb appeared, and it grew bigger and bigger until it was the size of Ash. Latios fired it at Ash and Ash's world went black for the second time that day.

Latias was watching Ash as he seemed to go in a kind of trance. About five minutes afterwards he passed out. Latias flew over to him in alarm, but stopped when a white glow surrounded him, like he was evolving, and when it faded, there was a green Latios where Ash was. It had a golden triangle, also. Latias' jaw dropped, but in the inside a rush of emotions nearly overwhelmed her. She was torn between worry for Ash's health and joy that she might be able to finally have a chance with Ash. The two eventually canceled each other out and she settled down to wait for Bianca and Lorenzo to come and find her.
