Later on, we found a hidden grove close to the bamboo forest which kept us from being seen. While Will was out looking for food, I was mentally yelling at myself for my stupidity. As the sun was setting, I remembered something from the fifth movie. Latias and Latios can make themselves look like humans, so maybe…
As soon as Will got back, I told him. "Oh yeah! I totally forgot about that!"
"So, shall we explore?"
"Yes."
We quickly realized that a turtle cannon competition was going on. To keep our existence hidden, we decided to go to our "normal" forms, and turn invisible. It was working fine, until I failed to notice the cannonball flying my way. To make is short: it hurt. When I hit the ground (I turned visible while I was falling), I heard many exclaims of shock and surprise. I looked to see both First Squad and Second Squad staring at me like I just dropped out of nowhere, which, in their view, I did. Will flew down and became visible. "Lyra, are you okay?"
"My wing's hurt." He turned to both the squads, and gave them a look that said "Don't try anything."
Then, I heard a voice in my head. "Wait Lyra! We can use telepathy! We're legendaries, remember?"
"Oh yeah! Now we can talk to them!"
I then decided to try and tell them that we weren't going to hurt them. "We're not going to hurt you," I said to them.
"Who said that?" said Mr. No-hands, looking around.
"Um, yellow bird-dragon on the ground here, hello?" They stared at me.
"You said that?" Sonia whispered. Then, I noticed Apetrully and Woo. Woo, of course, stared at us like we were from space. Apetrully looked at me.
"The Air Force saw you, didn't they?" he said to me.
"Yes, they did. And, this isn't all we can do," I added. "I could make myself look like one of you by a special ability me and Latios have." Privately to Will, I added, "We better call ourselves Latias and Latios right now. It'll be too complicated for them to understand that we used to be human and are from a different world." He nodded. I stood up on what feet I had.
"You can make yourself look like one of us?" Alpha-girl said disbelievingly. "Prove it."
I grinned as best as I could for a cute shiny Latias. "Sure." I then made myself look like a perfect copy of her.
"…oh. How did you do that!"
"Well, it's because our feathers can refract light, making an illusion. So, I'm still the same, just looking like you. Oh, and I'm Latias." I made myself look normal. Unfortunately, we didn't realize that two particular zebras were spying and saw us.
