"chapter 3 sight of a soul"
"Talking"
(Telepathy)
It was a couple of hours since the little incident but I decided not to tell mom because of the way Samuel acts as well as his dad who is actually worse. His dad Rodriguez Jackson is a famous owner of J-tech, an eletronic business empire that spans across the regions. The Jackson's and Wood's hated each other for a long time. But a person named Alex got in a relationship with Isabella Jackson but Rodriguez forced them to break up. Now the race will start soon because they're taking the water sleds out and putting them in positions for the racers; as for Samuel we'll see. The racers are now getting on their water sleds and Samuel has gotten on his Draco sabotaged and he hasn't noticed yet.
(And so it begins) Draco said disguised as me
"So what happens now" I asked
(Well that water sled should collapse at any moment when the race starts) Draco stated
"Hey kids glad I could catch up" mom said coming to us
"Hi mom you came" I said a little exited
(Hello mother now I'm gonna watch the race) Draco said and turned his head to the racers
Looking around I saw Nicholas and that girl in blue and white next to him but I watched the race instead. when the Zatu cried out the racers began but my focus was mostly on Samuel who was already struggling with his Warturtal going very fast I guess that's when he found out somethings wrong. With the race continuing some were in the back others were ahead Samuel was in the lead clearly not focusing that his sled is falling apart on him. With the racers going to the finish line Samuel was gonna win but his sled broke and he fell in the water screaming.
The faces of the crowd was priceless everyone was surprised at what happened even the announcement was good. Draco was trying very hard not to laugh but it wasn't working so he went behind a stand and started laughing very hard. He went behind somewhere because even changing his form his voice doesn't he even couldn't maintain the form so he turned back into the black and red latios I'm glad no one is seeing this right now. When he finally stopped laughing and floated up I turned to see mom staring at us with a confused look.
"Why did you two run off and I heard laughing" mom asked
(Sorry just Samuel splashed in the water when his sled broke) Draco said giggling again and disguised as me
Afterwards the person who was in second won the race and received the first place medalian, it was made out of glass and I could faintly see two figures in there, it was a latios and latias around a sphere probably a soul due. Samuel and Rodriguez were furious at least that the sled broke and they found out the wood was already broken when the race started but don't know why or how but they will try to find out. As we were heading back from a good race I heard this strange coo from no where.
"Draco did you just coo" I ask
(No but I heard it so you'r not crazy) Draco said
We decided to walk around the town but quickly got on a boat to travel across the city. The nice view was all I asked for with the atmosphere of overall happiness around the city it's almost is if I want to stay but it can't last forever unfortunately.
Now entering the market because mom wanted to get something I decided to sit down at the entrance. While sitting down there was pawing at my leg and turning to my left there was this small eevee right there looking like it's curious so I pet the eevee on it's head as it made a small noise. then the eevee jumped on my lap and curled up on my legs and closed it's eyes and I smiled at the small scene going on right now.
(Made a new friend I see) Draco asked sitting down next to me
"Yeah who does it belong to" I ask
(I"m pretty sure it is she and I don't know) Draco responded
than Draco handed me paper and some pencils.
(You want to draw I know your good at it) Draco asked
I started to draw a picture of the D-M-A because why not; after about 5 minutes I was done and it looked exactly like it, it has been a while since I last drew something and feeling satisfied I folded the picture and put it in my pocket. Putting the small eevee down I got up but she looked upset by that so I picked up the eevee in my arms and as if on cue mom exited finally saying the line was very long. We got back to our room and I told mom that the eevee came to me and she didn't look caught in a pokeball so mom tried and it worked and once again released eevee.
then there was a knock on the door and Draco turned invisible and mom checked on the door to find a man well dressed and looked around.
"Hello miss I've been told to check this room" the man said
"well what's your name" I asked
"My names Anthony whats your's" Anthony asked and put a book down
"Austin and this is-" I said but mom finished
"Angelina but call me Angel" mom finished
"Well looks like everything's in order so I'm off" Anthony said and left
When he left he picked up the wrong book the one he grabbed was a cook book and I swiftly took the other one.
"Okay I'll be on the balcony alright" mom said and went outside
I took this opportunity to look at what was inside and opened the book to find out it's a journal. opening the first pages to see an odd entry about a latios.
June/23/99 an idea came to mind when I found the old DNA of a latios in Altomare from Any and Oakely 70 years ago preserved in a capsule before a boy named ash messed up there plans. the blood was transported to us before the went to the D-M-A for research but in time it was all but forgotten until now. Me and the others are gonna analyze this until we get the resources we need to get the project running 'Project Darkios".
(Hey what are you reading) Draco asked
"just a book nothing important" I said wanting to read more
(Okay I'll wait then) Draco said and floated away
Turning to another page this came up and it's strange on what is written.
July/6/99 perfect we have everything we need for Project Darkios the machines are set and ready to go on my command. Once the project is complete we will have a super weapon at our disposal and nothing can stop us when it's complete for team rocket. Progress has been made the DNA is now inside an embryo we manufactured it now needs to be processed for completion. However similar to Mewtwo we won't let it escape from our grasp to build an empire to last forever.
My eyes widened I thought team rocket was destroyed permanently 60 years ago and no trace of them was left now this man left the book saying they still exist. I didn't want to read anymore so I closed the book and put it in the shelf and left for the balcony. I saw mom there and went to her to talk.
"Hey mom can I ask you something" I asked
"Sure honey whats on your mind" mom said
"Have you heard of team rocket" I asked
"Yes but their gone now why you ask" mom said
"Just heard of them so I thought I'd ask you" I said to her
"Well okay I'm heading in alright" she said and walked in
I just stood there gawking at the water but then I got an idea. Walking inside I turned on the computer and entered google maps as Draco floated over.
(What are you looking for Austin) Draco asked
"You know those text's and images the ancients leave behind" I said
(Yeah what about them) Draco asked
"Let's go find them, and see where they lead" I said
I then pull out the map and we both looked at it and noticed the water is coming from a certain area of town and a little suspicious, the museum had something else drawings on the wall. Going back to the museum with a boat of coarse I drew a sketch of the drawing but ran into someone.
"Ow" someone said falling over
looking at her it's the girl in blue and white and helped her up.
"Sorry you okay" I asked
"It's alright my names Crystal" she said
"Austin is my name what are you doing here" I asked her
"Just walking my dad Nicholas runs the place" she said
Then I noticed Draco come over and waved hello at Crystal.
"This is jack my twin brother" I said
"Nice to meet you, can you talk" she asked
"He's mute so he can't" I said
"We'll see ya Crystal" I added leaving
"Okay bye" she said also leaving
We made it back to the hotel room and the computer was right where I left it. Again entering google maps the sketch of the drawing was a map as well but a really old one with numbers. Realizing it's encryted I went through the agonizing process of decryption and got coordinates on the island. I marked the location on the map, 29 x, 45 y the location was in a large patch of green which is interesting. Deciding not to pursue it now I looked through the journal once more there's something wrong with it I can tell.
Oct/10/00 the egg was complete but unfortunately Mewtwo gave us a visit and destroyed the place. We were so close it was in it's final stage but now it is lost for now and now it will have feeling it will love that wasn't the goal. The project was to have a Pokemon that couldn't feel that showed no love or mercy and now it's gone.
Now I know there's something wrong there experiment went missing when Mewtwo attacked. There has to be more so lets get to a earlier entry in here and hope there's more information on this. turning some pages I found this.
Sep/15/00 the egg is complete the pokemon is complete amd now all we have to do is wait. until it hatches the boss wanted to see it for himself, but the final touches will be implemented when it hatches afterwards.
I just sat there in awe on whats happening, could Draco be this experiment probably but I need sleep. Going to bed early I passed out almost imeadiatly in the bed.
There's something wrong I only see darkness and nowhere to go so just wondering around but the darkness went away and found myself in a strange building. and there was a person in white walking towards me we was very tall and held a staff of some kind.
"Hello there child welcome" he said his voice was calm as if he wouldn't do harm
"Hi where am I and who are you" I asked
"Before I answer I'll ask you how did you get latios" he asked
I told him how I got Draco and the ten years we spent together from day one, he listened to the whole thing and nodded.
"I see well you answered my question and I'll answer yours" he said turning
he transformed into Arceus himself and the building shook a little during the transformation of the one and only Pokemon god.
"I'm Arceus welcome to the hall of origin" he said
I was shocked to say the least the hall of origin was something of myth and stories and the fact that no one was allowed to enter even if you find the place. Now I have another question why me able to enter this sacred place.
"I'm not surprised to see you shocked" he said
"Yeah no one has entered here" I said
"Actually your the second human to step foot here" he said
"The first human here was my chosen one Ash Ketchum" he added
"Ash Ketchum the Pokemon master from Kanto" I said and he noded
"Yes but he was a Pokemon himself a latios and lived in Altomare when he settled" he said
"Ash was a pokemon how" I asked
"He earned the right for his selflessness for pokemon and his wife" he said
"Ash was married" I asked
"Yes latias and Ash got together the latios and latias in Altomare now are his grandkids" he said
That was surprising the guardians of Altomare are Ash's descendants but I heard a clock go off but there was none here.
"Your time here is up we'll meet again" he said than fadded away
My vision turned back into the darkness and I found myself being shooken madly back and fourth and when I got up it was Draco. He had very worried eyes and I was sweating like crazy and was visibly shaking from the experience from the hall of origin.
(Oh thank Arceus you wouldn't wake up) he said worried
"I'm fine what happened" I asked
(You were making noises and I noticed you were shaking and just wouldn't wake up) he said
"well it's okay I'm awake now" I said hugging Draco as he returned the hug
When we split the hug I looked at the map with the spot I wanted to see and looking outside it was pitch black. I was not tired though and the clock said 4:50 so the sun should rise soon. Mom was sleeping so I looked out the window of the room and there was no lights just the night and moon nothing more.
Waiting until it was sunrise Fire was snuggling with the eevee I haven't given a name for her but I'm thinking of one. The sun finnally rose so I drew a note for mom telling her that I'm going for a walk so we left Draco invisible.
Walking around and by boat was not as hard as it looks but for now we're searching for something. Stoping at a residential area ther was a chain of alley ways and looking at the map the location is in the middle. So we walked around not getting lost and came to a dead end it was just a wall. But Draco just flew into it and just phased through leaving me astonished. Walking to the wall I went through it like the wall itself was an illusion, there was a hall way and walking through it was the most beautiful garden I've ever seen. There were tree's everywhere and rivers and walkways in this one area. Draco was flying around having fun and I was walking around the place. It feels like where not alone as Draco stopped flying and I looked around but nothing was there.
However something struck me in the back sending me flying but Draco caught me and put me down.
(Austin you alright) Draco asked
"Yes I'm fine" I said
the figure was invisible but I can see it's waves of energy because of the psychic power the pokemon is using.
"Draco shadow ball" I commanded
Draco complied and shot a shadow ball at the figure hitting it and sending it back but it was about to charge again.
"Dragon breath knock the Pokemon out of the sky" I commanded
Draco fired a dragon breath once again hitting the figure and fell to the ground it's appearance showing a regular latios on the ground in pain. Its eyes were on me and looked mad but scared at the same time, this must be his home.
"NO STOP" someone screamed
I turned around and saw Crystal and Nicholas running toward us with a latias that got ready to attack.
"Hold on latias they look familiar" Nicholas said "Hey I know you your the tourist"
"Yeah we tracked this place down" I said
After that we all calmed down and helped latios after our fight and I looked around the place. Nicholas told me this place is where they watch over the gaurdians of Altomare like there ancestors, I wondered how long this place existed though.
"Hey Austin can I ask you something" Crystal asked
"Sure what is it" I replied
"Where did you find such a unique latios" she asked
"Oh Draco I found him when he was an egg in an old nest" I told her
"Really where" she asked again
"In Veridian forest nearby Pewter city" I replied
She began to think for a moment as I looked at Draco playing with the other lati's having a blast. Nicholas is planting some flowers and I noticed an elderly latias right there.
"Um Crystal who's that latias" I asked her
"Hmm oh that's there grandmother" she told me pointing to the lati's playing with Draco
"I guess They don't want to talk to me" I said
"No it's not that they need to know you first not because they hate you" she told me
I then walked around and noticed the latios and latias talking to Draco but I can't understand them so I cept on walking. Crystal was with me and we just talked about random stuff but I noticed the more we talked the more nervous she got. Asking if she's alright she turned to the side and skid her foot back and forth which confused me. We continued to walk and Nicholas cald Crystal over so I'm just gonna sit down and opened the journal.
Sep/30/00 The project was finished but the legendary bird Ho-oh decided to ruin the whole thing. They smashed my research and took the egg right out of the lab and into the wilderness I sent men to hunt it but with no success. My boss was furious all the time and resources spent down the drain of this project only to see it destroyed. But now I know to not underestimate the legendaries not again.
The more I read this the more I understand the situation the new teamrocket managed to make the pokemon. Now I believe it's Draco if I'm reading this correctly but I don't know if I could tell him. Putting the book away and going to get Draco because we spent quite some time out here.
"Hey Draco it's time to leave" I said and Draco floated down
(Aw really) was all Draco said
"Yeah sorry it has to end eventually" I said and he noded.
"Here let me show the way out" Nicholas said
Then we left the garden saying goodbye bye to latios and latias as Draco turned invisible.
"So see you guys" I said
"By the way Austin could you come by the plaza tomorrow" Crystal asked
"Yeah I could why you ask" I said
"I wanted to show you something" she replied
"Ok I have nothing else to do" I told her
Me and draco left waving good bye to them as we went back to the hotel and nothing bothering us. Making it back it looked like noon with time to spare as we entered the hotel and searched for our room. Room 15 was easy to find and we entered and mom was standing there which didn't surprise us.
After the long talk about what happened not including latios and latias and the garden we left it at that. with the long day over I can relaxe for a bit and sat down on my bed to think over what happened today.
