Hells yeah! Welcome back my favorite readers for yet another chapter of The Unknown Latios! So for this chapter, it might be a little slower than the previous chapters that I have written, but since both Latios and the Marauder are dead, there's really nothing exciting going on at the moment. Sorry for the late update, I'm just so busy with friends and other things! But here it is!

Thanks again latiasXash for yet another review! Please keep it up! XD

Last time on The Unknown Latios...

"Ken..." Latias thought to herself as she floated up to her favorite sleeping spot, still looking in the direction where Ken had flew off to. Latias tossed and turned as her brain and heart was still comprehending what had just happened moments ago.

"So stupid! How could I do such a terrible thing!" Ken scolded himself as he tried the best he could to ignore the fact that he had just kissed Latias. He soon scolded himself to sleep, a miniscule tear visible on his cheek.

"Oh Latias. I wish I could be there for you." Latios said within the soul dew, "Stay strong sis."

'I wonder why Ken did that so suddenly.' the red eon thought to herself as she rose from her slumber, rubbing the sleep from her amber eyes. Latias flew up into the air and stretched every limb of her body, tiny cracking noises were emitted from her spinal cord as she dove deep into the waterfall that she had fallen asleep next to the previous night, minus her brother. 'It's so lonely without brother, but at least I have Ken to keep me company.' Latias said to herself as she picked a few berries off of a nearby bush and gently pushed them in her mouth.

'I hope Ken is alright after last night.' the red dragon continued to think to herself as she wandered around the garden in search of her friend. Upon several minutes of flying through the garden, Latias stumbled upon a sleeping blue dragon who was tossing and turning a little more than necessary on the patch of grass that he was sleeping on.

In Ken's dreams, 'You disgust me! How dare you kiss me even though you know that I'm in love with Ash and not you!' Just leave me be and go away!' the red dragon yelled at the whimpering blue eon in front of her. Ken was shocked, his love has been instantly rejected and turned against him, not a single hint of pity was possessed by the angered girl.

The blue dragon floated away with his head down and tears forming in his eyes as an angry looking boy wearing a hat approached him with brass knuckles, punching his hand into his own palm as he began a brutal beating upon the poor eon. Blood sprayed everywhere as the boy continued his cruel assault.

A few dreamlike punches later, Ken had woken up from his terrible nightmare with sweat and tears rolling down the sides of his face as he sat straight up.

'Ken what happened! It looked like you were having the most horrifying dream ever! Are you ok?' Latias said floating down to where Ken was and began caressing his head in her arms as she tried to wipe the tears from her friend's face.

"I'm alright, I think. Thanks for trying to comfort me." Ken said as he released himself from his crush's arms and washed himself in the beautifully clear waters in the garden.

'What happened in your dream Ken? You were screaming and crying!' Latias continued to worry as she offered Ken some berries that she had just recently picked.

"It's nothing really." Ken lied with a false smile as he washed his face several more times and took the freshly picked berries.

'Ken do I have to read your mind to get it out of you?' Latias playfully threatened as she gave Ken a mischievous smile.

"Please don't." Ken said in a weak voice as he dried himself by pulling all the water from his feathers with his psychic abilities.

'Ken don't make me.' Latias said, raising an eyebrow.

But it's so embarrassing!" Ken whined trying to hide his blush.

'Ken I'm your friend, I wont care if it's embarrassing or not, I just want to help you feel better!' Latias reassured her reluctant friend.

"Ok fine. I'll show you, but only in sight sharing! I don't want to tell you verbally." Ken said as both of their eyes started to glow a brilliant blue color as Ken's dream was projected right before Latias' mind.

The saddening dream was repeated through Ken's mind as it finally came to it's end. 'Oh Ken.' Latias said giving Ken a hug, 'Don't worry, I would never act so cruel like I did in your dream, especially not to you! And besides, I wouldn't hate you for that one kiss, but I'm not so sure about Ash.' the red dragon finished, giving the depressed looking eon an even bigger hug but couldn't put her arms around him completely due to body size difference.

'Ken you're too fat!' Latias giggled as she struggled to hug Ken.

"Latias, thank you. I don't know what I would do without you." Ken said to the giggling girl as he brought her into his own hug, making sure that his heart wouldn't act for him and cause him to kiss Latias again.

'Come on lets go to Bianca's house and get the others.' Latias suggested pulling Ken along with her. "Wait, but it's so early in the morning! Shouldn't we at least wait a little?" Ken said in a surprised tone.

'Don't worry, I'm sure Bianca won't mind.' the red eon reassured Ken as they flew off towards Bianca's house.

"Ken's pretty sensitive despite his incredible power." Latias thought to herself as the two finally arrived at their destination. 'Lets go through the back door.' Latias suggested as she ushered Ken through the side yard. The two dragons flew through the side yard and arrived in a very large backyard as Latias barely managed to pull Ken through the patio door and into the kitchen.

Lets go check to see if anybody is awake.' Latias whispered, trying her best to keep quiet. The blue dragon nodded as they both flew up the flight of stairs to find themselves in a never ending hallway.

"Why is this hallway so long?" Ken asked, 'That's just how these houses were built I guess.' Latias replied, not really sure of her guess. Through the first door that the red eon checked, she found two sleeping girls, the red headed one snoring as loud as a Snorlax would. 'I could use that later.' Latias giggled to herself as she shut the door and went to the next one.

Ken on the other hand found two boys sleeping, both snoring incredibly loud and could probably be heard from the other end of the hallway. "I think I just found Ash." Ken sweatdropped as Latias gave the blue eon a playful push inside of the room. Ken fell on the floor giving out a small grunting noise as well as a girly giggle from Latias.

"Hey why did you do that!" Ken whispered loudly. 'Cause I got too excited!' Latias replied in a quieter whisper. "From what?" Ken said but quickly dropped the question realizing what she got excited about. 'Did you say something Ken?' Latias asked obliviously. "No, I didn't say anything." Ken said flatly as he gave quiet sigh of depression.

"Wait why am I being so depressed? I should be happy that Latias is in a relationship, even though the boy she likes is my friend." Ken told himself in his thoughts as he watched Latias turn into her human form and watched her jump all over the bed that Ash was sleeping on, waking him up.

"I'm up, I'm up." the raven haired boy said in a tired tone as he opened his eyes to find his lover giving him a warm smile. "Oh look an angel." Ash said as he pulled Latias in for a passionate kiss. 'Those corny lines will never stop will they?' Latias giggled as she continued her wake up kiss with Ash. Avoiding the embarrassing scene, Ken floated up to a ball of yellow fur that was located in the corner of the room.

"Wake up Pikachu, it's nine in the morning." Ken said, poking the mouse's side with his claw. 'I don't wanna go get food mom' the electric type muttered. "Wake up!" Ken said a little louder going on the other side of Pikachu and started rolling his body towards the door.

The yellow mouse open his spinning eyes and realized what was happening, 'Ok! Ok! Stop! Stop!' the mouse yelled as the eon obeyed and stopped spinning his yellow friend. 'Jeez Ken, you wake people up in such unusual ways.' Pikachu said as he struggled to get his balance back, but fell back to the ground in the process.

"Sorry Pikachu, but it's the only thing that popped into my mind." Ken laughed as he helped the dizzy mouse back onto his feet. 'Thanks Ken.' Pikachu said, wiping his fur. The yellow mouse had caught something out of the corner of his eye, and when he turned to see what it was he found his trainer and Latias deep into their kiss. Pikachu swore he saw on of their tongues in between kisses.

'Ouch, you still alright Ken?' Pikachu asked as he turned away from the scene. "Yeah I guess so, you know as long as Ash keeps her happy." Ken sighed as he too turned away from the embarrassing and painful sight.

'I love you Ash.' Latias telepathed to her lover without breaking their kiss. "Hey no fair, you can talk to me without having to part!" Ash playfully complained as he leaned in for another kiss. The couple came closer and closer to each others faces as their lips finally met, human to pokemon.(Pokephilia!) Latias' lips enclosed upon Ash's as she inserted her tongue into the boy's mouth. Their tongues finally met, each one entwined with the other.

In the room across the hall, the two girls had waken up from their peaceful slumber as they both walked into the room directly across from theirs. "Whoa going to town on Latias' lips aren't we?" Misty said in embarrassment as the two broke their lip lock and blushed in unison. Bianca was happy to see her friend recover so quickly after her brother's death with the love of another. But it wasn't the same story for her, she lost the one she loved, Latios being in her heart wasn't the same as him being there in the flesh.

"I miss you so much." Bianca thought to herself as she lifted her head to find a handsome blue eon before her. "Latios!" Bianca squealed as she hugged Ken with great affection. Ken jumped at this sudden action, "Sorry, I am a Latios, but just not the one you're thinking of." Ken said awkwardly as he comforted the falsely joyful girl. "Oh I'm sorry Ken!, I was thinking of someone else." Bianca replied with decreasing enthusiasm. "It's alright." Ken said as the hug was broken.

The squinty eyed boy on the the other bed slowly rose from his sleep as he rubbed the grogginess from his tiny tiny eyes. "Good morning everyone." Brock said getting out of bed. "Good morning." Everyone else replied as they continued on with their previous activities. 'Latias, should I tell him now?' Ken telepathed to Latias only, as she stopped her kiss and nodded back.

"Something wrong Latias?" Ash asked in confusion. The blue eon floated up to the confused boy, a look of guilt and shame was plastered on his face. "Ash, I think you need to know what happened." Ken said rubbing the back of his head as he continued to approach the now standing boy. "What do you mean by that?" Ash asked even more confused than before.

"Well, how do I put this. I um, accidentally kissed Latias last night." Ken said quietly with his head down. "WHAT?" everyone in the room gasped.

Everybody stared at the raven haired boy who's head was looking straight down at the ground. "Ken how could you? I thought we were friends?" Ash said in a disappointed tone. "I didn't mean to! I'm sorry Ash I didn't mean to betray you as a friend like that." Ken said apologetically.

'He's telling the truth Ash.' Latias said almost desperately. "Well I guess I cant really blame you Ken, I know it was on accident and I'm sorry too for questioning your loyalty as a friend." Ash said. "Thanks for being so understanding Ash." Ken said as he gave out a sigh of relief.

"How about a day of relaxation?" Bianca suggested, trying to forget that she had mistaken Ken for her love.

"Yeah that sounds like a great idea!" Misty cheered. 'Why don't we go to the beach to pay our final respects?' Latias suggested. "That sounds like a great Idea!" Ken said as he turned back into his human form, a blue veil of light surrounded him as it disappeared as quickly as it came, little speckles of blue light fluttered in the room and finally dissipated.

"Hey Ken, what's that mark on your eye?" Ash asked as he walked up to the confused dragon. "Huh? What are you talking about?" Ken asked as he walked up to the mirror next to Misty. To the disguised dragon's surprise, there was a very small discoloration at the corner of his eye. A line that was a darker shade of Ken's tanned skin was discovered. "I wonder how that got there." Ken said flatly, checking his newly found scar. "I wonder if that was there before the attack." Misty said.

"I'll find out later, it's probably nothing anyway." Ken said, shrugging off the thought and started to walk down stairs to the living room. 'Hey wait for me!' Pikachu called out, running after the disguised eon. The yellow mouse leaped through the air and landed smoothly on Ken's shoulder as they continued their way to the living room. 'I'll be waiting for you Ashy!' Latias said as she too transformed herself to mirror the appearance of Bianca and walked downstairs to meet up with her fellow pokemon friends.

"Come on Ashy! You don't want to keep her waiting." Misty teased as she and Bianca returned to their room to change into their street clothes. "Hey what was that!" Ash called back with a visible blush on hi face. But he was already too late as he heard the door shut behind the two giggling girls.

"Hey Ash you do realize that we'll have to leave Altomare pretty soon. That conference isn't going to wait up for you." Brock said with a straight face. "I almost forgot! Well can't Latias come with us?" Ash asked in desperation. "That's fine for us, but we don't know if Bianca or her grandfather will allow it." Brock said putting on a shirt and then pulling on a pair of pants.

"Brock, I don't want to leave her." Ash said as he too finished dressing himself. "I'm sorry Ash, but if she is denied her request to come with us, you'll have to let her go. But time will tell how things will go, so tell her when we get down to the living room with the others." Brock advised as the two boys walked out of the room and into the continuously filling living room.

"So what do you think about Ash? I know he's taken but still, what are you're thoughts on him?" Bianca asked after putting on a fresh shirt. "Well first of all he's extremely stubborn, and that stubborn personality is accompanied by his overwhelming denseness! But other times he can be different, he can be really nice and caring for his friends and pokemon." the bipolar girl said as she finished strapping on her overall bands.

"Hmm, sounds to me that you have a crush on Ash!" Bianca teased. "Why in the world would I have a crush on that jerk!" Misty roared back. "Oh never mind. Come on lets go downstairs before we keep them waiting any longer." Bianca said as she opened the door, leading the fuming red headed girl down to the living room.

"Took you guys long enough!" Ash complained as the two girls finally grouped up with the others. "Hey, us girls need time to get ready." Bianca said, flipping her hair to the side. "Then why did Misty take a long time too?" Ash stupidly asked. "What was that!" Misty growled as Bianca put her arm in front of the steaming girl before she could charge after the frightened boy.

"Come on you guys! Lets get going!" Ken cheered as he leaded the group out of the door and back into the winding alleys. "I think you should tell her Later tonight, because don't you remember how Bianca told us that her grandfather was coming back from his business trip today? You should tell her when he comes back." Brock whispered to our dense headed hero. "Tell her what? Oh yeah! Alright I hope she can come with us." Ash said, causing Brock to face fault.

The family of friends made their way through the maze like alleys to some up to the sight where Team rocket had made their terrorizing attack. The island was mostly cleaned up except for a few stores, but overall the island has been brought to it's original glory.

"Wait, I'll be back." Ken said as he walked away from the group and went up to a nearby flower shop and purchased a bouquet of roses. The boy came back with the flowers in hand as everyone took a single flower and tossed it into the glistening ocean, "Thank you Latios. We will never forget you." everybody said in unison as each person gave a small prayer.

"Alright now where to?" Brock said after his prayer. "I know this great place for a day of relaxation! Follow me!" Bianca said as she started to walk in the opposite direction of the crystal clear ocean. The cheerful girl led the group to a nearby shack that had a sign that read, "Rental boats". Ken walked up to the counter and gladly paid for the most luxurious rental boat the place had as they all boarded the seaworthy vessel.

This fine boat had several features, but at the same time made the user's experience more outdoorsy. A top brand refrigerator was kept in the small kitchen, a water filtering system that was at the bottom of the boat sucked up the water as it passed by and constantly supplied the boat with fresh water. And also, several top quality fishing rods that were located in a leather chest for the passengers to use.

"Alright, so do you see that tiny island over there Ken?" Bianca said pointing to a barely visible speck in the horizon. "Uh, yeah." Ken said, squinting his eyes. "That's there is my grandfather's private island. We don't usually spend time there, but when we do we stay there and relax while we can." Bianca finished as she picked up a fishing rod along with the rest of her friends and laid back and relaxed in the warm sunlight on their fold out chairs.

While Ken was navigating the boat for his friends, two members of the group were inside one of the guest rooms having their own secret conversation. 'Why have you brought me down here Ash?' Latias asked, afraid of what he might have to say. Ash took a deep breath and looked directly into the amber eyes of his love, "Latias, I'm going to be leaving Altomare in a few days, but I want you to come with me when I leave." Ash said quietly.

The red dragon stayed exactly where she was, not taking in a single breath, not moving an inch. She stared blankly into her lover's eyes with a saddened expression, not knowing how to respond to his words. After several silent moments the red eon finally said, 'You're leaving?'

"Yes I am so I can strive towards my goal to become a pokemon master! But it wouldn't be a completed without you by my side." Ash said giving Latias a peck on the cheek. 'Oh Ash. Wait here, let me get Bianca so we can discuss this.' the choked up but hopeful dragon said as she flew out of the room but returned with a confused looking girl. "What's going on?" Bianca asked as she fixed her ruffled hair.

The two quickly explained what's happened so far to the green topped girl as each word sunk in and gave a jolt a shock to her. "You're leaving! Well, uh, um." Bianca struggled to say as she felt a hint of guilt cover her being. "Ash I'm sorry but I don't think that Latias can go with you. She has to stay here and continue to protect the soul dew just like her brother did. But I'm not entirely sure, here let me call my grandpa and tell him what's happened so far." Bianca said as she pulled out her cellphone from her shirt pocket and dialed in a number.

The couple held each others hands, both were more stressed out than someone waiting for a pregnancy test. A few digital rings were emitted from the cellular device as the phone on the other end was picked up, "Hello? Bianca yes what is it I'm about to board the airplane from Kanto to back at home." an elderly voice said.

Again the group explained their ordeal and past experiences to the elder man as they waited for his response. "Phew, so much has happened since I was gone hasn't it?" Lorenzo chuckled as his voice became more serious. "Well with Latios' passing there's no one else to watch the soul dew except Latias. So I'm sorry to say that no, Latias you cannot go with Ash as terrible as it makes me feel. We'll talk more if we can after I get home, goodbye." the digital voice said as Bianca closed her flip phone.

The trio fell to their knees(except Latias) in astonishment. Ash was almost in tears along with Latias as Bianca hugged both of them for comfort. "I'm so sorry Latias." Bianca whispered patting her friends back. 'No, no I don't want to leave him.' the red eon said, small tears rolling down the sides of her cheeks. "Latias, since we wont be together for long, lets make the most of what time we have left." Ash said hugging Latias. "I'll leave you guys alone." Bianca said as she walked out of the room and back out on the deck where she found the rest of her friends relaxing in the warm sun.

"I'm sorry Latias, but never forget that I will always keep you in my heart." Ash said, pulling the sniffling dragon in for a deep, passionate, kiss. 'Thank you Ash.' Latias telepathed as the two continued their wait in the privacy of the room.

As Bianca took her seat the two gym leaders turned their heads to look at the sniffling girl. "What's wrong Bianca?" Brock asked sitting up straight. Wiping the small tears from her eyes, Bianca recovered from her sniffles and whispered, "Please don't tell Ken this, but Latias cant go with Ash."

"What!" the two gym leaders whispered in shock. "How come Ken cant know this?" Misty asked in confusion. "Cause I don't want Ken to really find out about Latias being pulled apart from the person that makes her happy. That would hurt him too much to see Latias like that." Bianca said. The two leaders slowly nodded their heads in agreement as the island came closer and closer.

"Alright everybody we're here!" Ken announced to everybody as the family of friends got off of their luxurious boat and onto the warm sandy beach of Lorenzo's island. "Wow it's so peaceful here." Brock said as he cautiously sat down by the water, making sure that no sand got in his shorts. Without wasting another second, Bianca ran up to Ash and Latias who were holding each others hands, both smiled warmly into the other face, "You guys, don't say anything about this to Ken he couldn't bare to see Latias sad like that when we were back out at sea." Bianca warned quietly so that Ken wouldn't hear them.

"Don't worry, we already discussed that, we wont say anything." Ash said cuddling noses with Latias, but then grew a slightly guilty look. "Yeah, I feel like a bad person keeping this a secret to Ken, He's the only one that doesn't know." Bianca said with an equally sad face. 'Ken has been through so much, and he's done so much for us. I don't know how he's going to act when that day comes.' Latias said.

"Well, lets just hope for the best and make the most of our time together." Ash said bringing the disguised dragon along with him along the shore. "She's so happy. And she got over Latios' death with some ease. But how is she going to feel when he leaves?" Bianca thought to herself as she regrouped with Brock, Misty, and the unknowing Ken.

Our heroes enjoyed every minute of their relaxation day as their deadline for Johto came crawling closer and closer. Sadly, the sun began to set as it's orange glow took charge of the scenery and told our heroes that it was time to head back. Ken expertly took his friends and the rented boat back to the harbor as they returned their luxurious boat. Everybody returned to their respective place to sleep as the sun continued to descend. "Goodnight Latias!" Ken called out to the red eon. 'Goodnight!' Latias replied as she quickly fell into a deep sleep.

"I hope that I can find out more about my past." Ken thought as he too fell into his slumber.

The third door in Ken's subconscious opened, revealing another chapter of his past.

"Hey Ken." a red eon said, "Oh hey Colette, how are you doing?" Ken replied.

What? Who's that? Well tune in next time on The Unknown Latios!
