''Latias'' Whiteboard marker
'Hey, are you feeling okay?' Latias inquired softly.
She was floating behind Ash, who was stiffly making his way back to the pokemon center. His muscles were tensed, his fists were balled and his face was a mixture of anger and disbelief.
''To be honest, Tia, I don't know what to feel anymore,'' Ash admitted.
They had just returned from Tobias' room with a truth the raven haired trainer couldn't comprehend, nor wanted to accept. He had fought so hard to get where he was. He defeated his rival, Paul, and won from youngster Joey even! Even with Malice being a big nuisance to him, his friends and particularly, Pikachu, he was still standing in the finals!
But now, it didn't mean a thing anymore. He was destined to lose the Lily of the valley. Hell, he was destined to lose every other tournament he would participate in, for the rest of his life! His dreams came crumbling down like a weak card house, and after Tobias was done explaining why exactly he was here, Ash had silently left.
''I'm here to stop you from winning, Ash.''
The raven haired trainer couldn't get Tobias' voice out of his head. He wasn't even human, with an overwhelming legendary pokemon team at his side! How was he ever going to win against an opponent of such a magnitude?
''You will never win against me, Ash. As Mayhem, I have the power of most legendaries at my fingertips. You have seen what my Darkrai alone can do. I am in complete sync with all of my pokemon thanks to my heritage. I have never lost a battle. It's impossible for me to lose.''
Ash gritted his teeth. He felt betrayed. If only because fate had to intervene to stop his dreams from becoming a reality.
''Nothing you will do against me will matter. I'm too powerful to beat for you.''
Ash wanted to scream out in anger and frustration, lash out verbally to fate for such a laughable destiny that made his whole life purposeless, but he couldn't find the strength to do so. He felt defeated, and didn't know what to do anymore at the moment.
Latias had quickly followed him when he left the hotel, of course. She had given the guardian of fate, otherwise known as Mayhem, a very angry scowl—who simply continued to drink his coffee like nothing was wrong—before slamming the door closed so hard, that it almost broke off its hinges.
Ash knew she wouldn't let him wander off alone far after a revalation like this. She was way too worried about his well-being for that. When the dragoness caught up to him, he could feel her incredible need to console him.
She brushed her soft, feathery cheek gently against his, while cooing softly in his ear.
'I understand that you're devastated now, Ashy,' she whispered, her warm feathers feeling greatly comforting to him. 'To think your fate is something so cruel.'
She stopped the young man from walking any further with her claws, and gently turned him around. Her warm, amber eyes—which were filled with so much passion for Ash—stared back at him deeply. 'But,' she said sweetly, 'I don't think it was coincidence we met again. We were destined to meet each other sooner or later after the events in Alto Mare.'
She cooed lovingly, and nuzzled Ash once more. 'Because I love you, Ash. You are my hero. You saved me that fateful day. I didn't understand the feeling in my tummy afterwards; how you taking my hand sent Beautifly through my stomach, and how happy I was to play with you in the secret garden. I was smitten with you, Ashy.'
She paused for a moment, and her golden orbs began to twinkle and water.
'Back then, I was so innocent, but you shaped me into the mature and strong dragoness I am today. Everything I know is because of you, Ash,' she revealed truthfully.
The raven haired trainer listened silently, his eyes widening at Latias' story.
'That day, I should've gone with you, but I was afraid of the unknown. I couldn't bear to leave Lorenzo or Bianca behind, so I opted for a painting and a kiss on your cheek, so you would never forget me.'
She blushed as she reminisced about those events, and pressed her soft lips against Ash's surprised own, before moving back slightly. Cupping his cheeks in her claws—her eyes thick with emotion for him—she began to whisper.
'You and I were simply meant to be, Ashy, and nobody is going to change that fact.'
She kissed him again, more deeply this time. She greatly enjoyed the trainer's lips on her own and his eagerness to kiss her back. When she broke the show of affection, never letting go of Ash's cheeks, she continued.
'I flew here with Bianca to cheer you on, because I love you. I became your pokemon and battled Paul, because I love you. I went with you to a swimming pool, and won from Lucian's Espeon for you, because I love you. I crossed through Kanto and a big part of Johto in a single day to assemble the pokemon you released years ago, because I love you. I was at your side, and battled for you against Joey, because I love you. I gave you my everything; my body, mind and legendary powers, they are all yours, because I love you. Ash,' she breathed sweetly with joyful tears in her eyes, 'I would give you my life and soul, because I love you. I love you, Ashy. I love you so much!'
Tears streamed down her cheeks when she kissed him again, silently asking for entrance with her tongue.
Ash was left speechless, his emotions flaring with the intensity of the sun for the dragoness in front of him. He let her guide him to her lips, and parted his mouth for her, until he felt her much bigger tongue go over his in a flurry of wild emotions.
She mashed her tongue against Ash's, shuddering at the contact and his taste. It felt like heaven for Latias. She passionately made out with her trainer, swapping saliva and twisting and turning her tongue in every way.
'I love you. So, so much, Ash. I love you with all of my heart,' she confessed telepathically. She reiterated those three words in different ways over and over again in Ash's mind, never breaking the deep kiss she was in and enjoying it to the fullest.
'I love you with every fiber of my being. I love you with every breath I take.'
Her tongue kept on wrestling with Ash's, putting it into submission and she took the opportunity to explore his mouth further.
'I love you with every glance I take at you. I love you with every battle I win for you.'
She let her tongue roam over his teeth, her pleasure rising as she felt Ash's emotions clear as day; his heart ached for her, and she saw the tears that began to escape his eyes as well.
'I love you, Ash. Forever and ever. I will never stop loving you.'
She found his tongue again, and pressed her own tongue against it once more, never getting enough of Ash's taste and warm mouth.
'I love you with everything that I am, Ash.'
Finally, she began to break the heated kiss. Latias slowly pulled backwards while breathing heavily, Ash's extremely flustered face and teary eyes all the applaud she ever needed.
'So, that is why I will make your dreams come true. Just like how you made mine dreams come true, Ashy. Malice, Mayhem, not even fate will be able to stop me.' She gave him a big final smooch on his lips, before letting go of his cheeks completely. 'I love you.'
The raven haired trainer couldn't find the words to such a powerful confession. His dragoness definitely was everything to him; Ash wanted nothing more than to reciprocate those words, but he knew it was unnecessary. He knew she could feel his emotions, and those spoke louder than a thousand words. He realized that it truly was because of her that he was now standing in the finals. It was because of love; her love for him, and his love for her. It was burning stronger than a Sacred fire, and was deeper than the oceans in Hoenn. It was pure; something so beautiful couldn't be tarnished by Arceus himself.
''I think I know what to feel now,'' Ash whispered, lovestruck as he was. No malice, anger, disappointment or hatred was present in his mind. Only hope and full bloomed love for Latias.
''Tia, I love you too. Please make my dreams come true.''
She cooed and happily kissed him again, her velvet lips a heavenly sensation for the trainer.
'I would love to do nothing more.'
She lifted him on her back psychically, before taking off to the sky.
On a bench in the woods, the champion of Sinnoh was silently enjoying an ice-cream cone. She was happy to be away from the masses for once. Cynthia certainly enjoyed the Lily of the valley, but she could take only so many screaming fans before she got a headache.
Contemplating on the turns of events that had happened the last couple of days, Cynthia scowled. 'So, Ash managed to reach the finals, but his opponent is a guy who's almost unreal. How can Tobias have so many legendaries?'
She'd looked at his records, and didn't believe what she saw. Even with all these legendary pokemon, he had only needed his Darkrai to get this far. 'To be honest, I'm not even sure if I am able to beat him,' she admitted, taking another lick of her ice cream.
She sighed internally while closing her eyes. 'And then there's Thomas. I don't know what happened to him that he changed so drastically. He was always such a nice person. I just hope the police captures him soon, so that I can talk to him, and maybe hammer some sense back into that thick skull of his.'
Her silent debate was broken when a second girl joined her on the bench.
''Hello, are you here for me?'' Cynthia asked politely.
The girl nodded her head.
''Do you want to take a picture with me?''
She shook her head.
''An autograph then, maybe?''
The girl—instead of answering—grabbed her whiteboard and handy dandy black marker to write a message.
''I need your help.''
Cynthia perked her brow. ''Wait, Latias?''
Tia nodded her head. ''You hadn't seen my new disguise yet. Sorry about that.''
The champion waved it off. ''Never mind that, how's Ash?''
The disguised legendary shrugged her shoulders. ''All over the place, if I'm being honest. He had a lot to digest today. I put him back in a very good mood, though,'' she said happily, satisfied with herself.
Cynthia nodded her head in understanding. ''So, how can I be of any help to you? You know I'm always happy to help my friends, especially in such an odd situation you guys are currently in now.''
''Tobias is a problem,'' Tia wrote, ''we found out he's here specially to stop Ash from winning. It's difficult to explain, but if I want to beat him, I need to be more powerful.''
''How are you going to accomplish that in such a short timeframe, Latias? You only have this evening and tomorrow left to train.''
''There's a way I can become a lot stronger very quickly, but I need an item for it.''
''You're not talking about the souldew, are you?'' Cynthia inquired.
''I wouldn't use my brother's power! Besides, Alto Mare kinda gets destroyed if I took him with me. No, I'm hoping you could get my claws on another item.''
''What did you have in mind then, Latias?''
''A key stone. Can you get that for me?''
Cynthia pondered the question for a moment. ''A key stone? That's a very rare item. But I do think that it can be arranged. I have to ask Diantha for one then. But you do know that mega-evolution only works with the correct mega stone and a strong bond with the trainer, right?''
The disguised legendary smiled. ''I don't think my bond with Ash can get any stronger. As for the mega stone—
Latias was practically hopping up and down in excitement the moment Bianca and her had arrived at her room. The legendary had just heard they were going to the Lily of the valley; she was going to see Ash again!
Honestly, her birthday couldn't get any better. So whatever Bianca had bought for her as present, would be the sweet cherry on top.
''Latias? I thought long about what to give you for your birthday, and after some discussion with granddad, we agreed that it was time you kept this safe instead of us. This is a very special item that's been handed down from your ancestors for generations.''
From a shoebox under her bed, Bianca produced a beautiful shining pearl. There wasn't a single flaw in its gorgeous colors, and she held it out for the dragoness to take.
'What is it?' Latias asked with awe, staring at the jewel with amazement.
''Lorenzo and I don't know, but he reassured me that you will know what to do with it when the time is right.''
Latias cooed, and took the precious gem from her best friend after a tight hug.
'Thanks, Bianca.'
The dragoness felt the warmth the stone seemed to radiate in her hand. She also felt a connection with the stone from deep within, almost like with the souldew, which surprised her for a moment.
'It's... very magical,' she breathed out to her best friend.
''I realized it was a Latiasite not too long ago. So with a key stone, Ash could trigger my mega-evolution in battle; that's going to be our ace against Tobias.''
Cynthia gave a wide smirk. ''I didn't even know you could mega-evolve. Clever girl. How did Ash react to this?''
''He doesn't know yet. I promised him we would do something fun tonight, rest up, and then train as hard as we can tomorrow."
Latias' features turned passionate and confident while she wrote her next reply in big letters.
"We're going to beat Tobias, together!''
My attempt to show the incredible love Ash and Latias feel for each other, especially Latias ;) So did you guys like it, love it, hate it? A review a day, keeps the doctor away! Next chapter, Ash and Tia having fun at the bowling alley. Until then ^^
