"Thanks, Bianca! That was great!" Ash exclaimed.

"No problem, guys!" she said. She seemed to be in a very cheerful mood.

"Hey, has anyone seen La-"

"Shhhh!" Both Ash and Bianca went and silenced Clemont before he could finish his sentence. They didn't want him to expose the Eon Pokémon.

"Clemont, over here," whispered Bianca. "I need to tell you something."

Clemont went over to Bianca, who was standing behind a wall. "We don't wanna expose them," she told him, "so we refer to the two as Tia and Tio in public. They mostly disguise as humans so they can get by rather peacefully."

"Wait, Latios is here too?" Clemont asked.

"Yep, so let's keep quiet, OK?"

"Oh, OK," Clemont said. They walked back out to Ash and Bonnie. Tia, disguised as Bianca, was playing with Pikachu and Bonnie's Dedenne. Tio, on the other hand, was disguised as Ash, but he looked different. Ash looked at Tio, and chuckled. He knew that it was a Latios though, because, well, he was the only Ash.

"I remember that old hat," he said. "I wore it here when I was here for the first time!"

"Yep!" Bianca said, laughing. "You also wore a similar outfit."

"Wait, I thought the other dragon was gone!" Ash said, since he was remembering what happened.

"Yeah, but something happened one day while I was gone," Bianca replied. "When I came back, there was Tio!"

"Then how did he become me?" Ash asked.

"Well, we think he either saw a sketch of you that I had drawn. We also think he might be the same one as before, so he would have seen you."

"Oh, wow!" Ash exclaimed.

"Hey, guys!"

"Serena's back! Yay!" Bonnie yelled. She was happy to see her best friend again.

"There you are! Are you alright, Serena?" Bianca asked. "You missed lunch!"

"Oh well, I'm not very hungry right now." Serena replied.

The group moved forward, and Tio and Tia followed. It took Serena a moment to realise Tio and Tia.

"Wait, why are there two Ashes?!" Serena exclaimed. [On the bright side, I have a second shot at getting Ash. Oh, wait...] "Why are there two of you, too, Bianca?!" [Oh no, another Bianca. Yay.]

Bianca pulled Serena aside, and told her what she told Clemont.

"Oh, OK." she said.

They walked around for a bit, then reached Bianca's house.

"Well, here we are!" she exclaimed. "It's about time, honestly. It doesn't normally take me this long to get home! Please guys, come in!" Everybody walked in and sat down.

"Phew, I'm tired," Bonnie complained.

"Must have been a long journey, huh?" Bianca remarked.

"Yeah, but it was all worth it!" Ash said.

"Oh yeah, I remembered something a minute ago," Bianca said. "Be right back!" Everyone watched as Bianca left the room and returned with a brown box. A label reading "PALLET TOWN" was attached to the side.

"Still haven't opened it!" she told Ash, and she grabbed a knife and cut the tape. She opened the box, and in it, Ash's old Pokémon League Expo hat. Bianca's face lit up with joy while Serena's faded away.

"Ash...you- you- you shouldn't..."

"Oh come on, Bianca, keep it."

"I...I...can't..." she said softly. It seemed she was about to cry.

"Bianca, take it, please," Ash reassured her. A few tears ran down her face, but she tried to hide them in Ash's arm.

After the dramatic afternoon, and Bianca hugging and thanking Ash for an hour, it had already become dark.

"We better get going, and find some place to stay," Ash said.

"There seems to be a perfect place to stay relatively close to here," Serena added.

"Well, I guess we should get going, then," Clemont said. The group left, but Bianca, Tia, and Tio followed, just to say good-bye.

"We're...here?" Serena said. The place looked like it hadn't opened for decades. The group soon started to rethink their plans.

"How about you guys just stay at my place, until we can find you a better place?" Bianca offered.

"Thanks, actually. That's a pretty good idea if you ask me." Ash said.

"Of course, come on guys!" Bianca said. Tia nudged Bianca, and somehow Bianca knew exactly what Tia wanted. "Race, guys?"

"Why not?" Ash said.

"Yay!" Bonnie cried.

"Sure," commented Serena.

"Um...uh..." Clemont hesitated.

"3...2...1..." Everyone was ready...

"Go!"

TIa had rushed ahead, with Bianca behind. Ash was catching up though, and soon he and Bianca were tied. Bianca made a small gain, but then Ash made a small gain. Soon, Ash had bypassed both Bianca and Tia. He won, but by a very little amount. Tia had almost caught up to him. Tio was behind Bianca, followed by Serena and Bonnie. Naturally, Clemont was last.

"Come on, Clemont!" Bonnie whined.

"Is he always this slow?" Bianca inquired.

"Yep, he is." Ash said. "Dunno why, but he's pretty slow."

"Clemont, you're too slow!" Bonnie complained.

"Dennene!" Dedenne cried.

"Pika-pika!" said Pikachu, who seemed to be cheering him on.

"I'm...there!..." Clemont panted, he felt so tired.

-Next chapter will be here soon, guys, don't worry, probably tomorrow. Don't now how much more writing I can do for a day!
