Once they got back to the Pokémon Center, Yugi and Yami climbed off the boat. Yami brought Astral back into his pokeball while they waited for Suicune. After he placed the boat back into port, they walked into the center and got ready for bed. Yugi woke up Diamond so she can let Suicune rest in his pokeball. "Thanks for letting me borrow him for today, it was wonderful." Yugi whispered as he pat Suicune's back. "I'm glad your night was wonderful. Are you planning on telling us what happened tomorrow?" she asked with a small grin. He blushed lightly. "Maybe." he replied and she laughed softly before she took out Suicune's pokeball and let him back inside to rest before she went back to bed, bidding Yugi goodnight. He prepared for bed before quietly walking over to the bunk Yami and Aqua shared and slipped in beside him. Yami woke up silently and looked down to him before smiling, wrapping his arms around him and lied back down, feeling Yugi snuggle closer to him.

'I can't think of anyone better to spend my days with. You complete me, Yugi.' he thought before his mind went to rest.

Later in the night, Annie and Oakley were jumping across rooftops, on their way to the Pokémon Center. They were watching them as they came back from their little trip through the waterways and were glad they were able to catch them as they were retiring for the night. "This should make things easier for us now that we know where those trainers are. Make sure you get all their pokeballs. Who knows what kind of strong Pokémon they may have." Oakley whispered. Annie nodded and they soon made their way into the center and over to their rooms.

Latios felt that something was wrong and came out from his pokeball to examine what the disturbance could be. He left out the room and looked around some more before he heard quiet footsteps. He followed the sound until he came up to Jou and Malik's shared room and saw someone trying to enter. He crooned lowly to catch their attention. "Well looky here~ Latios all on his own~" Annie cooed. "Well, why are we waiting here for, let's capture him. Ariados, go." Oakley called. "Go Espeon." Annie said, sending out the psychic Pokémon. Latios prepared himself for the battle. "Ariados, use String Shot!" The bug Pokémon nodded and shot out a string of webbing that, if connected, will slow Latios down. "Espeon, prepare to use Psybeam." Annie said and Espeon prepared to do as her trainer said.

Latios dodged the String Shot and countered with Icy Wind, slowing Ariados down but was hit by Espeon's Psybeam that she launched when he was lacking attention to the other pokémon. "This should be easy. He can't possibly handle a two on one battle."

"Yeah, I know."

"Now Ariados, use Poison Sting!"

" Espeon, use Psychic with his Poison Sting!" The two pokémon shot out their attacks but Latios was prepared for it and used Protect. The attacks bounced off easily and Latios used Luster Purge on the two Pokémon. Espeon jumped in front of Ariados and blocked his Luster Purge with Protect and Ariados used another Poison Sting on the unaware pokémon. He was hit and fell to the ground, now poisoned. He growled lightly as he tried to get back up but couldn't. "Espeon, use Hyper Beam on him and make sure he can't get back up or struggle." Annie told her and she nodded, charging up her Hyper Beam. Latios tried to get up once again but was too weakened so he used Refresh to cure the poison. Latios got up but wasn't quick enough as Espeon launched her Hyper Beam attack, hitting Latios hard and knocked him unconscious. They brought back their pokémon and turned to him.

"My, he's a strong Pokémon. I say we just take him and come back for the others. Remember, we still need to find the Soul Dew and we already have one thing we need to unlock the defense mechanism." Oakley claimed as she threw a net over the other Pokémon, soon dragged out of the Pokémon center.

The next morning, Yami woke up and felt that something was wrong. He looked down to the chain that held Latios' pokeball and found it was open but no sign of him. 'Oh no, he must've sensed something but whatever it was got the best of him.' he thought as he got up without waking Yugi and woke up Aqua. He turned to him, rubbing his eyes. "What is it, Yami?" he asked tiredly. "Latios went missing. Someone came here last night and probably defeated him, taking him afterwards. We need to find him before they learn the secret to Alto Mare." Yami whispered and Aqua jumped down from his bed, nodding. "Come on out, Latias." he said and said pokémon came out, looking to him. "We need you to find Latios. He's gone and we need to see who has him." Aqua explained and she nodded as she tried to find him since he could still be unconscious. Yugi woke up to voices and looked to them. "What's wrong?" he asked. "Latios was taken by someone last night and we need to find him before whoever has him learns of the Soul Dew and the Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare." Yami explained and Yugi sat up, shocked.

"Oh no. Should I wake my friends and see if they can help?" he asked. "Yes, we'll probably need all the help we can get since Alto Mare is a pretty big city. Who knows where those thieves could've gone." Yami said before Latias' eyes started to glow and they were given a brief look of Latios' location before the scene went blank and Latias crooned sadly. Yugi walked over to her and took her claw. "Don't worry, we'll find him." Yugi said reassuringly and she smiled as she picked up the small trainer and held him. "Latias, why don't you go with him to wake the others while we get ready?" Aqua said and she nodded before leaving out the room with Yugi resting in her arms.

Once everyone was awake and dressed, they all met in the commons. "So, what's the plan?" Seto asked. "Latias, show them what you saw earlier." Yami said and she nodded as she showed them the memory of Latios' location from what she could see. "This is where Latios' is supposedly located and it's somewhere in Alto Mare. We need to search every nook and cranny of this city. If these thieves knew of the DMA (Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare) then we'll be in for some trouble." Yami said and they nodded.

They all took the pokémon they were going to use before leaving in grouped pairs.

Diamond and Crimson flew overhead, looking around silently. "Do you think we'll be able to find him?" Diamond asked. "I hope so. Latios is a very important Pokémon to Yami next to all others. He cared for all those Pokémon he has ever since he started and look how they became. He never wants to lose any of them to the forces of evil." Crimson said and she nodded. "Well then we better find him then." Diamond said as Lugia flew over the city with Crimson trailing behind her.

Yami, Aqua and Yugi were riding on Atra, Arcane and Rathian's backs as they traveled through the city. "Do you think we'll find him?" Yugi asked. I'm sure we will. I'm not going to let Latios be used for anything evil." Yami said. "Maybe Celebi can help in some way. What do you think?" he questioned. "Maybe she can. Bring her out and we can see." Aqua said and he did so. She stretched lightly before turning to her trainer. /Is something wrong, Yugi-kun?/ she asked. "Latios was taken last night and we need to find him quickly. He gave us an area but we are not sure of where it could be. Do you think you can help?" Yugi asked. /Of course! I'm willing to help anytime! You know that, Yugi-kun. Just give me the image he gave to you and I should be able to pinpoint it easily!/ Celebi said. Aqua brought out Latias and Celebi placed her small hands upon her forehead and concentrated. It was a few minutes before she removed her hands and looked to them.

/I think I know where he is now. I was able to get the image she gotten from him along with a rough view of Alto Mare when she came out to explore sometime yesterday. Follow me./ she said and flew off. They followed her, anxious that they will be able to get to Latios in time.

Annie and Oakley were now in the secret area where the Soul Dew was located, trying to find it now. "It should be in here somewhere." Oakley said as they looked around. Annie walked over to the small pool and she saw the shimmering jewel that was the Soul Dew. "I found it!" Annie cheered and Oakley walked over to where she stood. "Alright then, let's get it and get out of here so we can see about that defense mechanism." Annie nodded as she made a move to take it out but it was adhered firmly to its resting spot. She tried a few more times and before she could pull it out of the water, she heard the sound of an attack coming and they both jumped out of the way to avoid a Hidden Power attack. They looked back to see Yami and Yugi standing there with their Pokémon ready for battle, Latias and Celebi standing behind them. "Alright, you two, all I want is Latios back and we won't have to battle you." Yami demanded as he stepped forward. "Sorry, kid, but Latios is ours now. He's essential to our plan." Oakley replied.

"But if a battle is what you want then we'll gladly do so." Annie countered. "Fine then, it'll be two on two and I would like it if Yugi was my partner." Yami said, looking back to him and he nodded. "Fine by me. Ariados, come on out." Oakley spoke. "You too, Espeon." Annie called. The two pokémon came out, ready for battle. "Let's just show you a true battle with legendary strength. Registeel, I summon you!" Yami said, sending out the large steel pokémon. "Wow, I never saw him before." Yugi whispered. "Because he's one out of three secret Regi pokémon. There's also Regirock and Regice which Crimson and Marik have respectively. Now go ahead and show these two that legendary pokémon shouldn't be used for evil purposes." Aqua said and he nodded. "Entei, come out and help us win this battle for Latios' sake." Yugi said as he sent out the strong fire Pokémon. Entei looked to him and nodded. /Your wish is my command, little master./ he said before turning back to Annie and Oakley.

"Hmm, so there were even stronger pokémon there like we imagined. Well then let make this battle a little wager. If we win, we get Entei, Celebi, Latias AND Registeel and if you win, we'll give back Latios." Oakley suggested. "Fine and these pokémon heard every word so if you try to back out and run, they'll be there to stop you." Yami said. "Ok then! Ariados, let's start this battle with a little Scary Face!" Oakley said and Ariados did so. "Entei, use Dig." Yugi said and said pokémon dug underground to avoid the look. "Registeel, hit Ariados with Metal Claw then use Mega Punch on Espeon." Yami said as the large pokémon moved quite fast for its size towards Ariados. Slashing at him, it threw off his Scary Face attack before turning and sending a mighty punch towards Espeon. "Espeon! Dodge and use Psychic!" Annie called. Espeon dodged the attack but before she could even use Psychic, Entei burst out from underground and tackled her.

"No! Espeon!" Annie cried in terror as she watched her Pokémon fly a good distance. "Great, Entei. Now focus your attention on Ariados and prepare to use Flamethrower." Yugi said and he nodded. "Registeel, help Entei by using Lock-On." Yami said and he did so, now making it easier for them to hit Ariados. "Not on my watch. Ariados, use Double Team." Oakley called and he now became many copies of himself, Oakley thinking that he won't be able to be hit even with Lock-on. "You must really think he wouldn't be hit, don't you? Yugi, if you will." He nodded. "Entei, unleash your Flamethrower." he said and Entei let out the large stream of fire and it curved, hitting the real Ariados right on the mark. He flew back with a cry and landed, burn marks all over his form. "No, Ariados." Oakley whimpered. "Both are unable to battle; winners of this match is Yami and Yugi." Aqua called. Annie and Oakley brought back their Pokémon before looking to them. "Fine, you won so you can have Latios back but don't think we won't be back to take all of your pokémon!" Oakley hissed before the ran off, leaving Latios still tangled in the net and the Soul Dew in its resting place in the pool.

Entei walked over and tore of the net from his still unconscious form and Yami took his pokeball, bringing him back so he could rest and regain his energy. Yugi walked over to him. "Now what are we going to do? With them coming after us, we would have no choice but to go somewhere else." Yugi murmured. "I know but this time, we're not going to hide Yugi. We're going to face them head on. I think it's about time we take down Team Rocket, Team Magma and Team Wave for good so they'll stop going after other trainers' Pokémon for their own gain." Yami said and he nodded. "Then we should train. I want Shadow and Kyu to be in top shape for when we go against them so I won't have to rely on Celebi or Entei too often." Yugi said as Entei walked over to him. /Wise choice, little trainer. We will still be here by your side along with many other legendary Pokémon that could still be out in the world just waiting for the time to come. I know they will do everything to help you and your friends./ Entei said.

"Thanks, Entei. You can return back to your pokeball now if you wish. You too, Celebi." Yugi said. /I'll stay out to make sure no others will come./ Entei said once more. /I'll head back into mine, Yugi-kun! I hope your pokémon become very strong!/ She said excitedly before Yugi let her return back to her pokeball. "Yami, do you think I'll still be able to enter in contests during our fights with the teams? I still want to prove that Anzu isn't always a winner." Yugi questioned as he brought out Shadow and Kyu. "Of course, we are here to watch over you Yugi and so are your friends. You can still do whatever you want and we won't let any teams come across you for Entei or Celebi." Aqua spoke as he brought out Mishun and Desher for battle. Yami the remembered something and took out a stone from his pocket. He walked over to Yugi and placed it into his hands. "Use this on Kyu when she's ready." Yami said before walking out of the way so the battle can start. He looked to the stone and saw it was a Fire Stone so Kyu can evolve into Ninetales. "Thanks, Yami." he said before he got ready for battle with his two pokémon.

In another part of the world, a glowing ball of soft, pink light was floating through the air, looking around as if trying to locate something. It came over Alto Mare a while later and stopped. "Mew?" The little ball spoke thoughtfully before smiling and flew down towards the city, finding its target. Our young trainer, Yugi Motou.

Zypher: And that the end for this chapter. Now Yugi will be having a third legendary helper, the adorable Mew. You all know that Mew is perfect for him. Anyways, I hoped you all enjoy this installment and I'll get working on with the next chapter since I know you are all waiting for Yugi's next pokémon contest (this time I'll have it following the same idea from the show, which me don't own) so be ready for some more Team butt kicking and Kyu's first debut in a contest as the illusive Ninetales. See you soon.
