Bianca led Ash to the secret garden. "Latias is in there." she said.
Ash entered the garden. "Hello? Latias?" he asked.
A red and white Pokémon suddenly flew toward him, sending him tumbling into a hedge. "Sorry, Ash. It's just that I've missed you so much." the Pokémon said.
Ash was stunned. "How are you able to talk?" he asked.
Latias smiled. "Bianca taught me." she said.
Ash smiled, and then started crying. "What's wrong, Ash?" Latias asked.
Ash sobbed. "Brock and Misty betrayed me and joined Team Rocket." he said.
Latias was furious. "They'll pay for what they've done to you!" she cried.
Ash smiled. "Not so fast, Latias. We need a plan first." he said.
Meanwhile, Serena and Misty were kneeling in front of Giovanni. "I have an assignment for you two." he said.
Misty nodded. "What is it, boss?" she asked.
Giovanni smiled. "I want you to spy on Ash Ketchum and report to me on his activities. I want to be one step ahead of him at all times." he said.
Serena nodded. "Your wish is our command!" she cried.
Meanwhile, Latias had transformed into human form and was currently sitting beside Ash. "How will we punish your friends for betraying you?" she asked.
Elsewhere, Serena was talking to Misty. "Where is Ash now?" she asked.
Misty sighed. "I don't know. But I know someone who does know. Come on. We're going to Pallet Town." she said.
