Dawn looks at Brock confused when Ash says they're staying and he just shrugs.
They head inside leaving the garden.
"Bianca dear we have visitors!" Lorenzo calls entering the house.
"Yes Pop I know, Latias told me," she calls back.
Ash feels his heart rate quicken at the mention of her name.
"Ash! Brock!" she says excitedly hugging them.
"Who's your friend?"
"This is Dawn from Sinnoh. She's our companion," Brock tells her.
"Ooo from Sinnoh? I've always wanted to go there."
"Where's Latias?" Ash asks.
Bianca smiles weakly.
"I'll tell you in a moment."
Ash nods.
"Who is this Latias?" `Dawn asks.
Everyone chuckles.
"Well seeing that you're friends with Ash I can tell you but it's a big secret so if you tell anyone it could put us in danger, ok?" Bianca tells her.
Dawn nods rapidly.
"Latias is the last guardian of Alto Mare. She is a legendary Pokémon, something called an eon dragon. She watches over the city and protects it from any and all danger. Me and my grandfather care for her."
"Oh wow! So you have a legendary Pokémon?"
"No she is just a friend to us, she is essentially wild. She is more family than anything else."
"How did you become friends?"
"Well that's a long story that I'll leave to my Pop. You can ask him tonight."
"Ash I need to talk to you. Excuse us."
Dawn and Brock nod.
"So where is Latias?" Ash asks excitedly.
"Well I-… she actually said she doesn't want to see you."
Bianca sees pain pass over his face.
"Sorry Ash."
"Why?" he asks.
"She didn't say. I'm sorry."
Ash nods solemnly.
"If you really need to see her she'll be sleeping in the garden tonight. I didn't tell you though."
"Thanks!"
His heart was racing and his stomach doing backflips. He couldn't wait to see her.
They return to the kitchen and everyone sits and eats making small talk and sharing laughs.
*Flashback*
Latias is sitting in a secluded section of the garden when she hears people entering. She makes herself invisible. That's when she sees Ash.
What's he doing here?
She quickly goes to find Bianca.
"Ash is here with Brock and some girl but I don't want to see him," she tells Bianca.
"Why?"
"Because I don't," she says firmly.
"Okay."
Bianca doesn't press further.
The truth is she can't bear seeing him if he's going to leave. She can't say goodbye one more time or it'll break her.
*End Flashback*
Later that night…
"Well long ago there was an old couple walking on the beach when they came across a couple of unconscious children that seemed to have washed up on the beach. So the old couple took them home and nursed them back to health. The children eventually revealed themselves to be a young Latias and Latios. They gave the old couple a Soul Dew for saving them and swore to protect them and their city. So the secret garden and defense mechanism were created. The garden houses the Soul Dew that activates the defense mechanism but only a Lati can activate it. The guardians continued to be cared for by the old couple. Thus began the centuries old friendship between the Lati guardians and our family. The guardians were kept a secret for their safety and the safety of Alto Mare. Over time the secret became that of myth and legend. Few have ever known the truth. A few times the Soul Dew had been destroyed and one of the Lati would sacrifice themselves becoming the next Soul Dew. The last Lati to do this was Latias' brother," Lorenzo tells Dawn.
"That's so sad. I'm sorry for your loss," Dawn tells him.
Bianca begins to cry remembering Latios.
"Well we should head back to our hotel and call it a night," Brock announces.
"Nonsense! You all can stay the night here," Bianca says wiping the last of the tears from her eyes.
"Dawn you can share my room and Brock and Ash can share the guest room."
They all make their way to their sleeping places with their Pokémon. Ash waits until everyone and their Pokémon are asleep before sneaking out to the garden to see Latias.
He finds her in pokéform asleep by the fountain. He watches her for a moment before he approaches quietly, keeling to stroke her soft head. She wakes when he touches her. She is about to attack when she realizes it's Ash.
'I said I didn't want to see you!'
"I know, I'm sorry but I had to see you. Please forgive me for not coming back sooner," Ash tells her.
'I can't say goodbye again…'
'Are you going to leave again?'
"Yes I have to."
Tears form in Latias' eyes and she goes to fly away but Ash grabs her arm.
"Wait," he says.
'Why are you here?!' she asks with angry tears in her eyes.
"Because I don't want to be your friend anymore I-"
She leaves crying before he can finish.
Uh-oh sorry for the hanger. The more reviews I get the sooner I will update :). Thanks!
