Here is chapter 4. I hope you like it. Please let me know what you think of it. I don't care if it's only one word I really like to hear what you think.

"Can I please go with Ash when he leaves tomorrow?" Latias asks Lorenzo and Bianca.
"No sorry you can't go, you're the only one who can protect Alto Mare," Bianca tells her.
This angers Latias.
"You can't stop me from going with my trainer," she says adamantly.
"Your what?!" Lorenzo shouts in shock.
"My trainer, Ash is my trainer now."
"How dare you take her! She is a guardian of Alto Mare and she belongs to nobody and is most definitely not yours to take!" Lorenzo says fiercely.
Lorenzo is a calm and wise old man but very terrifying when angered.
Ash holds his hands up in defence.
"I'm sorry Lorenzo but she asked me to capture her and she said I had no choice. There was nothing I could do."
Lorenzo calms some and turns his attention to Latias who is fidgeting her feet nervously.
"Is this true?" Lorenzo asks.
"Yes," Latias says pointedly.
"Regardless Ash you need to release her. She is a guardian of this city and not a Pokémon to be claimed by a trainer."
"NO!" Latias shrieks breaking into sobs.
It hurts Ash to see her so upset. He pulls her to his chest and holds her tight stroking her flowing crimson hair.
"Shh, Tia it's okay," he soothes.
"Sorry Latias, I didn't mean to upset you," Bianca apologizes to her friend.
"Well the truth is nowhere is safe right now and with Team rocket in possession of a Soul Dew they could easily penetrate our defences and possibly destroy everything. If Latias really wants to go I suppose she can and we really couldn't stop her anyway. Ash will take good care of her I think," Lorenzo says.
"I lo- Of course I will," he says almost letting 'I love her' slip out.
Latias hugs him tightly and nuzzles his chest after Bianca and Lorenzo go to bed. Soon they lie down on the couch and drift off to sleep in each other's arms knowingly for the first time.
They head to the PokéCenter after waking up.
"Hi Nurse Joy," Brock says as they go to the counter to heal their Pokémon.
Wait. What?!
"Who are you and what have you done with Brock?" Ash asks.
"Huh?" Brock says confused.
Ash lets it slide and he goes to the PC to deposit his Swellow.
"I have to put you inside your ball to make sure you're fully healed," Ash whispers to Latias.
"Wha-?!" Brock and Dawn say as Ash returns Latias to the pokéball and hands her to Nurse Joy.
"Latias is yours?" Brock asks.
"Yup," he says with pride.
"She had me capture her in the garden yesterday,' Ash tells them.
"Wow, that's cool," Brock says.
Ash smiled but he was still stuck on how odd it was that Brock didn't bat and eye at Nurse Joy.
Dawn withdraws her Typhlosion so she will have a strong Pokémon for any battles they might encounter against Team Rocket executives. Brock does the same withdrawing his Steelix.
They returned to the docks and boarded the Ferry. Everyone bid their farewells before leaving.
They touch down in Mahogany Town near midday.
"Hey Ash,' Lance says when they meet him.
"I found out that the Soul Dew was stolen from Pewter City Museum of Science."
"They might be in their old HQ here. We should check it out."
"Alright."
The group heads inside the shop and unlocks and descends the secret staircase. They are confronted by Petrel and some grunts.
"You can't stop us this time, Muhahaha! With our new Pokémon that we create Team Rocket will take control of the world and no one can stop us!" Petrel says.
"Go Weezing, use Smoke Screen then hit em' with Sludge!" Petrel says.
"Zubat use Air Cutter!" the grunts say to their Zubats.
"Pikachu, Quick Attack and stop the Smoke Screen, then Latias hit them with a Mist Ball!" Ash commands.
"Ninetales dodge Air Cutter and use Will-o-wisp!" Brock tells his Ninetales.
"Charizard use Flamethrower and stop that Zubat!" Lance says.
Pikachu quickly hits Weezing stopping the Smoke Screen and then it's rendered unconscious by Latias' Mist Ball.
Ninetales was too late to dodge and gets hit back. It then retaliates with a Will-o-wisp damaging the Zubat.
Lance's Charizard faints the second Zubat with a full power Flamethrower before it can attack.
"Okay Steelix use Iron Tail quickly and finish that Zubat!" Brock shouts.
Steelix hits the stunned Zubat with an Iron Tail crushing it into the floor knocking it out.
"How could we lose?" Petrel says as him and the grunts retrieve their fainted Pokémon.
"Where is the Soul Dew?" Lance asks angrily.
"It's at the lab at Rage Lake. It doesn't matter though you're too late to stop them. The password is 'Hail Giovanni!'. Have fun meeting your demise," he says with a chuckle.
Lance releases his hold on Petrel.
"Quickly let's go!" Ash says.
They leave the HQ and run north for a long while until they reach the Team Rocket facility.
Lance enters the password and the entrance doors open.
"Well, well, well if it isn't you twerps again," Oakley says.
"You just don't know when to quit," Annie continues.
"You're just in time to watch our ultimate work come to life," Dr. Namba says chuckling.
"Behold LatiX the most powerful Pokémon you will ever encounter!"
Inside the test room is a large glass tank filled with water containing a lifeless LatiX.
The LatiX was unconscious inside the tank with wires attached all over its body. The LatiX was larger than most Lati and had a large X marking its chest.
"Isn't it beautiful, Dr. Fuji created it using Latios' DNA. I just have to give it a soul and it will be complete and none will be able to oppose us!"
He turns and heading for his office.
"Alright let's split up. Ash, Dawn stop Namba. Me and Brock will take care of these two," Lance orders.
Dawn and Ash immediately take after Dr. Namba who is already at the control panel pushing buttons and flipping switches.
"Piplup stop him with Ice Beam!" Dawn yells.
It's too late though. He pulls the last lever before he's frozen solid.
"Extraction sequence initiated," a recorded voice announces over the PA.
The large doors to the test room begin to close and Ash makes a run for it.
