Chapter 10: Arceus' Quest

New York City.

Arceus sent me there to find my missing sister. She had hatched more than 100 miles away from here and eventually moved here. She was apparently raised by a farming family for almost 18 years. She had also transformed into a human to defend herself. But she had almost no connection to her Pokemon heritage. I had flown into New York and searched every mind I could see from the rooftop I was on.

Then, I saw her. Among the sea of aura colors, I saw one that stood out. Red with blue tint, the aura of a Latias. I looked at her through a pair of binoculars and saw some of her basic features. Blond hair with red tips, amber eyes, maybe about 5' 8" at maximum.

Then, I saw trouble. About three guys were following her, all with dark auras. They were closing in on her. She went into an alley and the men followed. I turned invisible and flew over to the building that made one of the alley walls. Still invisible, I saw her get cornered by the three men along with two more that appeared at the end of the alley. It was a situation she couldn't get out of. Unless she transformed into her true form.

I saw them close in. It was now or never. I changed to my human form and jumped down. I used my psychic abilities to slow my descent. I dropped down in front of her. The guys jumped back in surprise. I looked up, a fire in my eyes. I looked back at my sister, she also looked surprised, but a bit less than the others.

I looked back at the thugs. Two had pulled out knives, the other pulled out a bat. The two behind us also had bats. I looked back and made a psychic link with her, "You okay?"

She looked even more surprised than before, but nodded. One of the knife wielders charged us. I looked at him, my eyes glowing, and almost instantly, he stopped and flew back into the nearest wall. He grunted and passed out. The others looked on in disbelief. The two from behind charged at us. Without even turning, I knocked them into each other, knocking them out. I turned to the last two. They were scared out of their wits. I looked at them, they flinched as if I was going to hit them with another invisible force. Instead, I did something old school.

I opened my mouth and said, "Boo." They ran from the alley, screaming at the top of their lungs. I smiled with satisfaction.

I turned to face my sister, but a new thug was holding her, a knife to her throat. I stared at him, and he stared back.

"Last chance," he said. "Give up, and the girl goes free." I clenched my fists, but put my hands up. He took the girl, steel touching skin and grabbed my hand. He pinned my arm against my back, and I grunted in pain.

He laughed, "I don't know how you beat my boys," so this must have been their gang leader, "but I'll bet you can do that again if I threaten her." He tightened his grip on her. She made a small whimper, and that was the last straw. I concentrated, focusing my psychic energy on the knife. I heard the guy was trying to resist, but that only increased my rage. The knife flew out of his hand and I countered his grab. I flipped him over, causing him to lose his grip on my sister. She almost tripped over, but I caught her. I made a psychic link with her and told her to stay put and hide. She nodded and went behind a nearby dumpster.

I turned just in time to see the thug running towards me with the knife back in his hand. I used my psychic powers to stop him. He froze in place, only his chest and eyes moving. I knew that if I had a full hold of him, he couldn't breathe, speak, or hear. But I wanted to give him a message, and made sure he knew about it.

Listen, you tell your boys that if I ever catch any one of them doing anything like what you tried to do to me and my sister, I will personally hunt them down and send them so far down into the ground, they'll see stars during the day! Understand?

He didn't answer and a couple minutes later, I tightened my grip on him. UNDERSTAND!?

This time he nodded his head, with a bit of difficulty. I released him and he fell to the ground. He scrambled to his feet and ran in the opposite direction. I was exhausted and I turned to my sister. She was no longer hiding, and looked at me as if I set off a bomb.

I stepped to the wall, trying to regain my balance. She ran over to my side. I checked her aura again, still the same. I made another psychic link with her and said, Are you alright? She nodded.

I searched her mind and found that she was indeed a Latias. I got out before she noticed and said to her, Can you speak? She shook her head no, but then I felt something in my head.

But I have been able to do this. I was surprised as her voice spoke in my mind. It was a voice that sounded like church bells.

I got up a little bit more and asked her, Do you remember anything about your life in the past?

She shook her head. All I remember was my earlier life on a farm. A few days ago, I came here because a mysterious voice (Guess who?) said that I would meet someone with incredible powers, and would help me to discover my own powers.

I stood up, now fully recovered and changed into my Latios form. She stepped back and I said, Incredible enough for you?

She laughed a little, sort of like Alicia's laugh. I told her to get on. As she got on she asked where we were going.

Home.

(Alicia's POV)

We raced to New York. Landon detected a strong source of psychic energy coming from there, and we knew it had to be Nathaniel. My mind was racing, emotions of joy and anger, struggling for which emotion I should show when we confronted Nathaniel. Joy because he was alive, anger because he technically broke his promise to us. A few minutes later, I was about to make my decision when a blur of silver and blue shot past us. We stopped and saw it was Nathaniel, with a human on his back.

Landon, Alicia, I've got big news! I flew up to him and hugged him. We said nothing for a while, but I broke the silence.

I slapped his face and yelled, YOU IDIOT! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED WE WERE! WE THOUGHT YOU DIED! AND WHO IS THAT?! I pointed to the human on his back. She looked surprised.

Nathaniel looked at the human and said something I couldn't believe, This is Ericka, our missing sister.

Landon and I nearly fell when we heard this. Landon made a psychic sweep of her mind. When he came out of it, he confirmed it to me.

So why is she riding on your back and not flying, I asked Nathaniel. He explained she had the same problem he had. She was in her human form for a long period of time, but she had no connection to her true heritage. Landon asked her if he could activate her transformation. She nodded and Landon went into her mind. A few seconds later, she was glowing. She jumped off Nathaniel's back just in time to transform. She was our sister. Landon just stared at her. I instantly knew what was going on in his mind. It was just like when I first saw Nathaniel. He was in love. I smiled at them. I think its time for us to go home, I said. Everyone agreed and we all went back home.
