As Siam approached the Pokemon Centre to check if the pokemon that had remained there were all right, he found them awaiting him outside the doors. He only needed pat his leg twice and they were surrounding him. As he walked, Antony lay across his shoulders, Lucilla walked beside him on his right, Vipsania the Crobat flew just behind him over his right shoulder, and the Masquerain, Stilicho, flew behind him and over his left shoulder. Some light clouds had drifted over the sun by the time Siam stepped out of the air conditioning of the east gate of Mauville city. A gentle breeze was flowing off the river, an actual river this time, and something Siam did like the look of for a light swim.
After cooling off in the water, Siam stepped onto the other bank of the river, where he was greeted by a familiar man"Why hello there." The man offered a hand to help Siam out of the water, which was not accepted. "We met in Granite Cave, didn't we?" Siam's eyes furrowed as the man spoke "Sorry, You'd only remember the Dewford Pokemon Centre". At this point Siam did recognise Steven, the man he delivered a letter too, he smiled and shook the man's hand "It's good to see you're doing well" Siam nodded as Antony scampered up to his shoulders again. "I never got your name"Siam shook his head and laughed silently "And I guess I never will." The man glanced at Siam's face and was suddenly staring at him "That's amazing! What happened to your eyes?" Siam had begun to get quite concerned at this man's sudden fascination with his eyes when a roar from the sea broke the tension. A slender bird-like creature with an extremely aerodynamic body and glass-like down feathers, lowered itself to above the water. Though it possessed red jet-plane wings, it seemed hover without any means to support it.
"Latias!" Steven shouted in surprise. The creature nodded its head and drifted closer only to have Vipsania and Stilicho move between it and the humans. It's eyes glowed faintly "Do you... want us to soar somewhere with you?" Steven voiced the sensation Siam had felt enter his mind. Siam looked at Steven, as Steven looked at him "Come with me" He mouthed, both saying it and not needing to "I believe that it sought us out for help." Siam nodded when Steven came to the same conclusion Siam had. The ground seemed to fall away beneath them as Siam watched himself, Steven and Lucilla be lifted off the grass by some unseen force. Siam knew that should he even try struggling, he would not be able to change the direction he moved, he was at the mercy of this creature. As it rocketed away, the creature's powers dragged Siam, Steven and Lucilla along. Siam held Antony at his chest to prevent him falling to some unfortunate fate, whilst Vipsania and Stilicho glided along beside them.
Their flight slowed as the group neared a small island, an island that until they had gotten near, Siam hadn't noticed. It was a beautiful place covered in trees and surrounded by cliffs that dropped off to the ocean far beneath. The creature Latias let them down gently in a clearing near the cliffs, "We've arrived. Thank you, Latias" Steven bowed to the pokemon, Siam did not even look at it. Something was off about the island, though a thick canopy covered the trees outside the clearing, Siam could see into the forest as easily as if there were no leaves at all. "I don't know what it is..."Steven began, he didn't seem to see what Siam could see, the dirt and rock around them seemed to be rippling as if waves in a puddle "not quite unease, not quite fear..." Siam watched as what seemed to be a road of some strange- unnameable colour, lit up the ground in front of him and wove its way into the forest. "It is an odd feeling, as though I am walking in a dream- or an illusion." The road of light began to lift off the ground, creating a pulsing line of some strange colour, a tentacle of light that wove its way through the trees "It was said that the two Pokemon that live on this island guard some secret about that great form of Evolution: Mega Evolution." Siam had stopped listening to Steven as soon as he began to follow the strange path of light. "Where are you going?"
The line of light led Siam to a large clearing, surrounding which was a river with small waterfalls flowing down into it from cliffs above lined with more trees. In the centre of this clearing were two things of note; a pedestal from which radiated this strange colour, and a creature not unlike the Latias only blue not red. Steven, along with the pokemon whom follow Siam, emerged from the trees around him "Latios" Steven remarked, moving slowly closer to the creature"It's beautiful". Siam's eyes had been drawn to the pedestal, it was now clear that it was not the stone pedestal that radiated the strange colour, but the gemstone that sat atop it. "If I were to describe such beauty in terms of a stone, it would be a Water Stone." Siam could hear Steven fawning over the Latios, he found it strange, the gemstone was far more beautiful. "No... It goes beyond that... Isn't its brilliance like that of a Dawn Stone?" Siam felt himself irresistibly drawn to the stone, slowly edging nearer and nearer to it. His attention was snapped away by the group of people who approached the cliffs surrounding the clearing, all wearing long red and black cloaks. Three such people entered the clearing from the same place as Siam, the one in front, the woman, carried an impressively kept revolver. "Team Magma I see." Steven had finally broken away from admiring the blue bird and taken in their surroundings "So, Latios noticed their coming, and that is why it called on us."
Siam could tell there to be at least thirty, maybe more, Magma personnel around them. "Who are you?" The woman with the revolver demanded. She was immediately informed by the man beside her that Siam, who was only described by pointing at him, had interfered with Team Magma's plans on several occasions. "Fine, For the time being, get away from me" She nodded at them and every gun but hers was trained on the two men and the five pokemon in the clearing. "The Mega stone on that stand. No more, no less" Siam turned around, checking that the beautiful gem was still sitting there, it was the only one. "That is what we of Team Magma seek" She began to walk forward, Siam instinctively moved between her and the pedestal "Out of my way" the authority in her voice seemed to be an order to all the grunts around, as Siam could hear them preparing to shoot.
He took a single step backward and felt the stone pedestal behind him rock, the woman became suddenly alarmed. Siam spun and watched as the small stone fell down, over the edge of the clearing and began to fall into the water below. Siam's hand shot into the air as a fist, almost as soon as he opened it he clapped the fingers to his own palm, simultaneously pointing to the stone with his other hand. The rush of air past his head told him the message was understood, the purple blurr swooped over the stone and darted away. "Give it to me!" The woman roared pointing her gun at the Latios whilst staring at Siam. Siam watched Vipsania circling above and held out his hand, curling the fingers. Steven yelled at him not to, but before Siam could decide to lower his arm; a small, strangely glowing gemstone dropped into his waiting palm. The moment the stone struck his skin, time seemed to freeze, Siam could feel every living thing around him as a presence within himself. A strange feeling, both pleasure and pain, warm and cold, shot up his arm and through his body. He could feel horns erupting from the back of his head, and the muscles on his shoulders seem to both expand and compress. At once he felt his entire body shift; hyper compressed muscle across his back, legs and arms became like armour. His view of the whole area seemed to lift off the ground, such that he could not even feel the ground beneath his feet any more. He felt his massive new form shred his clothes and Antony leap down from him.
