Chapter 14
We had gotten everything we needed and said our goodbyes to Lorenzo, Bianca, Misty, and Brock. I was kind of nervous but a little excited too. 'I hope we'll all get through this' I thought to myself.
"Ready to go?" asked Ash.
"Yep!" said Latias.
"I'm ready," said Latios.
"Yeah, I'm ready," I said, not sure if I meant it.
"Ok, then," said Ash, "where should we head to first?"
"I say Sinnoh," said Latios, "the Sinnoh region has the most legendary Pokemon, so Team Galactic will probably strike there first,"
"Good idea," said Ash.
"Should we go then," I asked.
"Yeah, is everyone ready?" asked Ash.
"Yep!" chirped Latias.
"Yeah I'm ready," said Latios.
"And I'm ready too," I said, this time more confidently.
"You do realize you asked that question twice in a row," said Latios.
"Yeah, I know," said Ash. "I just wanted to make sure,"
"Or you forgot," Latias giggled.
"Did not!" retorted Ash.
A few hours of flying later…
We had been flying for a long time and I was getting a bit tired.
"Are we almost there?" I heard Ash ask.
"We should be getting close," replied Latios, "didn't you look at that map Brock showed us?"
"Yeah, but I forgot it," said Ash mareepishly. Latios sweatdropped.
"Hey, is that it?" asked Latias.
I looked toward where she was pointing. Sure enough, I could see large buildings rising in the distance.
"So how are planning to do this?" asked Latios.
"What do you mean?" asked Ash.
"Well, we can't just waltz into Sinnoh like this, we have to find a place to disguise ourselves then we can start looking for Team Galactic," replied Latios.
"Right," said Ash. "but you don't have a human form, do you Latios?"
"No, I could make one, but I'd rather just stay invisible," said Latios. "speaking of which, we should probably turn invisible now."
"Right," said Ash. "did you hear that Michael, Latias?"
"Yeah, I got it," I replied.
"Yep, all done," said Latias.
We all cloaked ourselves, but for some reason, I could still see everyone. Just faint lines, but still visible.
"Hey Latios," I said, "how come I can still see everyone?"
He looked around, surprised, "Honestly, I don't know," he replied, "maybe it has something to do with Arceus' visit,"
"Yeah, that seems logical," I said.
We found a deserted alleyway and Latias, Ash, and I switched to our human forms.
"Hey, Latios," said Ash, "do you want to stay out or return to your Pokeball?"
"I think I'll stay in my Pokeball for now, if you don't mind," said Latios.
"Ok," replied Ash, holding out a Pokeball "Latios, return," A bean of red light shot out of the ball and engulfed Latios. By the time it died down, Latios had vanished into the Pokeball.
'Man, I'll really have to get used to that,' I thought.
"Ok, let's go!" said Ash.
"Are you sure you know where you're going?" asked Latias.
"Uh, no?" replied Ash.
"Here, I'll lead the way, you know you really should have looked at the map," she said teasingly.
"Sorry," said Ash, "I'm not very good with directions,"
"Don't worry, I'm not that great at them either," I said.
"However bad you are, there's no way you're as bad as Ash!" I heard Pikachu say.
Ash jumped. "Pikachu? Where'd you come from?"
"I rode on Latias' back the whole way here, remember?" said Pikachu.
"Right," said Ash.
"Well, if you guys are done…" said Latias.
"Ok," said Ash, "let's go save those Pokemon!"
Suddenly I heard some whispers behind me.
'Ash, Latias,' I said telepathically, 'I think someone's here,'
'What? Where?' asked Ash.
'Right there,' I pointed to where I had heard the voices.
'Ok,' said Ash, 'let's be careful, Latias, return for now,' Ash pulled out another ball and recalled Latias to it.
'Ok, Michael,' said Ash, 'I'll look around the corner, if anything happens to me, take Pikachu and run!'
'Uh, ok…' I replied.
Ash peered around the corner and after a few seconds of looking, ducked his head back behind the wall.
'It's Team Galactic!' he said.
'Are you sure?' I asked.
'I think so, Team Galactic starts with a G and they have a G printed on their shirts.'
Just then, one of the men stepped out from the alleyway. "Hey! What are you kids doing here?" He asked.
I heard some voices behind him. "What's wrong?"
"There are some kids over here," said the first man.
I heard footsteps and four other men came out from the alleyway. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?" said one that looked like their leader.
"Are you Team Galactic?" asked Ash.
"Why yes," he replied, "how do you know of us? But no matter, we'll just eliminate you here! Go, Dustox!" He threw a Pokeball into the air. "Eliminate these pests!"
"Pikachu!" said Ash. "Use thunderbolt!"
"Dustox!" said the Team Galactic leader, "Use toxic!"
The two attacks collided and…
And... that's it for chapter 14!
