Chapter 2: Explanations

It was still noon time when Wilson was driving back to his home. Neemie, the Eon Pokémon he had found recently, was the passenger seat using her invisibility powers to avoid attention from the unsuspected people. She was thrilled that her new friend invited her to live in his house.

Wilson couldn't help but wonder. Why she didn't say a thing yet? I thought Neemie was able to use telepathy like other Psychic Pokémon. (1) It was true. Ever since they met, she had only communicated by coos or spelling her own name. This got him curious.

"Neemie, I have a question if you don't mind." She answered with a quizzical coo. "You're psychic, right? So, shouldn't you be able to use telepathy?" He heard no reply.

Hmm… I guess she didn't learn how to do it yet. She must be ashamed of herself. To be sure, he placed his right hand to the place she was supposed to be sitting. It reached out her neck that looked like she was looking down. "You don't need to feel bad about it. If you let me, I know a few tricks to help you on learning that. Not that I'm a psychic human, I just happen to have learned them somewhere." Which this 'somewhere' was the anime.

"Lati!?" Wilson translated as if she was surprised.

"Yeah, it's no problem." She gave a happy coo that sounded like a 'thanks'.

It didn't take long that Wilson noticed that he was almost at his house. It was just then that he remembered about his parents and his brother. How are they going to take this? No one ever dreamed of a Pokémon coming to reality. His father didn't know a thing about Pokémon. His mother only knew about one Pokémon, which was Pikachu. However, his brother knew quite a bit about them since he watched him playing at his Nintendo DS sometimes.

Anyway, Wilson wanted to surprise them. "Hey Neemie, are you up for some pranking?" She made a quizzical coo again.

"How do I put this? I'm usually the kind of person that likes to surprise people when I feel up to it. I do this every time with my parents and surely they won't be expecting you. Say, don't you wanna surprise them like you did with me?" She remained silent for a moment, then gave a coo understanding what he meant.

"Alright, here's what we gonna do…"

#5 minutes later#

"I'm home!" Wilson shouted as he opened the front door. He waited a moment to close it since Neemie was still following him invisible. His dog, Ralph, came barking as soon as he closed the door. However, it stopped when he saw that was just his owner.

I'm not surprised that he didn't notice Latias' smell. He's silly sometimes. He thought.

He headed to his old room with Neemie and Ralph following close. When he reached it, he found both of his parents chatting. His mother was lying in bed and his father was sitting next to her. She was like this because she made a surgery in her nose that had to remove a tumor that was disturbing her breaths. His father had asked his boss for some free days to take care of her until she gets completely recovered.

Good thing the tumor wasn't in a place so serious. Otherwise, I wouldn't be doing this. He thought.

"I'm back." Wilson said as he entered the room.

"Feeling better, dear?" His mom asked. Probably, his dad had told her what happened.

"Much better. Actually, I'm feeling fantastic!" Wilson said excited. Neemie was trying to not giggle. Their plan was going smoothly so far.

"Got cheered up so quickly, what happened?" His dad asked who looked at him suspiciously. That's the question he was waiting for.

"Dad, remember that game I showed you last week at my Nintendo DS?"

"Yeah. Pokémon, wasn't it? What about it?"

"You remember that I showed you which Pokémon was my favorite, don't you?"

"Yeah. It's the one that looks like a red and white dragon. Why are you asking this?" Neemie blushed as she noticed that they were talking about her. She had no idea that she was his favorite Pokémon in her friend's games.

"Dear, please tell us what's going on?" His mother said.

"Alright, I'm going to show you why I'm asking this. But please, don't freak out." He paused a bit and smirked. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm glad to present you, the one and only, Latias!" When he finished his sentence, Neemie disabled her invisibility next to him. The show of light startled the mid-aged adults.

When the light faded, Neemie was there once again. She gave them a coo like if she was greeting them.

Wilson's parents were still dumbstruck and gaping at the sudden turn of events.

"No way…" His dad started.

"Just like my reaction when I met her at the hill." Wilson chuckled. The faces they were making were priceless.

"It's a girl?" My father asked incredulous. I nodded to confirm his suspicion.

Neemie inched close to Wilson and rubbed her head at his chest. He instinctively began to caress her neck. That didn't go unnoticed by his mother.

"Aww… isn't that cute? She took a liking for you." Wilson immediately blushed. Those kinds of comments his mother makes are always embarrassing for him.

"By the way, her name is Neemie."

"Quite cute the name you chose." His mother commented as she got up to touch the Latias. Neemie knew they meant no harm, so she let his mother pet her.

"Well, can she live here? She doesn't have a place to stay." I begged to my mother since she was usually in charge of these decisions.

"Yes, she can. But…"

I knew there was a catch…

"You will assume the responsibility of taking care of her." She finished.

"No problem mom, I will." Wilson turned to Latias. "Well, since everything turned-" He was interrupted by growl. He noticed that Latias was blushing and holding her belly.

He chuckled at the Eon Pokémon. "Come on, let's see what you can." He led her to kitchen. He opened his refrigerator where the fruits were usually stored. He picked up an apple and gave her.

"I know that Pokémon like berries, but here we don't have those. So, try this instead." She began to eat it. It didn't take too long for her to devour the entire fruit.

"Did you like it?" She answered with a happy coo. "Okay, I'll give you some more." He took 5 more apples and placed them at the table. He also took the opportunity and filled a cup with water for her and put it at the table too. "Here's some water if you need it later." Neemie nodded in response.

Wilson sat while watching his Eon friend devouring the apples in her sight. He still found it hard to believe that a Pokémon had come to life. But Neemie was there to confirm his confused mind. Still, there was a question that didn't quit from his head. How did she get to this world? Could it be that Arceus is responsible for this? It was the most likely answer he could find since the God Pokémon was also able to travel between dimensions. I guess he took a liking of our world too.

It was then that he noticed that Neemie had finished with the apples and was trying to grab the cup of water. Since she hadn't fingers like the humans did, it was hard for her to grab with her tiny claws. Wilson immediately grabbed the cup.

"Here, let me help you." He said softly as he inched the cup to her mouth. Neemie gladly accepted the offer and managed to drink the water. When she finished, she gave a lick at his cheeks.

Wilson chuckled. "You sure love to do this, don't you?" He got a happy coo as his response. "Still hungry?" He asked. She shook her head, but also began to nudge him.

"What is it?" She cooed and shook her arms like if she wanted to play.

"Oh, you wanna play?" She nodded. Wilson thought for a moment. How was he going to play with a creature that everyone thinks that it doesn't exist? He couldn't play inside of course, because his mother would get pissed. Then, an idea shined in his head. He facepalmed himself for his stupidity.

"Neemie, you know how to shape shift, right?" She shook her head yet again and looked down embarrassed. She thought that she was disappointing him because he expected more of her, but she got the opposite of what she expected.

Wilson looked at her softly. "Hey, it doesn't matter if you can't shape shift or use telepathy now. In the right time, you'll be able to do those." She brought her head up, looking through his eyes. His words were true. She wasn't an experienced psychic dragon yet, but Wilson had promised he would train her and she was grateful for that.

She smiled at Wilson.

"Well, I suppose we can go to the forest instead." He sighed as he walked towards to the front door of the house. As he did, he didn't expect his cell phone to ring. It couldn't be one from his family since most of them were working. And the last time one of his friends called was three months ago. He didn't give a damn though. He had got used to it anyway.

He picked it up from his pocket and checked the name of the person who calling him. It was one of his closest friends he met at mid school period. His name was Adrian. Light darkened skin, a little fatter and shorter than Wilson and with short curly dark hair. Adrian was in the same situation as Wilson. He was also studying for his appliance at the University of Toronto.

Wilson accepted the call. "Hey Adrian, what's up?"

"Duude, you need to come to my house right now! There's something I wanna show you!" He seemed excited about something.

"Why don't tell me by the phone?" Wilson asked calmly.

"You won't believe if I tell you by the phone." Adrian retorted. It was then Wilson realized what he was talking about. He smirked.

"I guess I would." If Adrian was as smart as Wilson was, then he will know the meaning of Wilson's answer.

"Wait, it happened to you too?" Bingo!

"Pretty much." Wilson answered chuckling.

"Duude, forget it! I'm coming to your house RIGHT NOW! I wanna see which Pokémon you got." Then, he rang out. More Pokémon were coming for this world as Wilson had predicted. He turned to Latias who had a confused look in her eyes.

"Well Latias, looks like other Pokémon are coming to this world. My friend Adrian, who I was talking with the phone, said that he had got a Pokémon too. He didn't tell me which one was, but I'm pretty sure that it isn't as awesome as you are." Latias blushed at his statement. "So, wanna surprise him too?" Latias nodded excited.

"Okay, same strategy as we did with my parents. It won't take long for him to arrive here. He just lives 3 blocks away from here."

#Several minutes later#

The doorbell rang. Wilson opened the door. It was Adrian as he presumed.

"Hey Wilson! Long time no see!"

"Yeah. Where have you been all this time?"

"Same as you I'm afraid. Inside my home, insanely studying for this freaking appliance."

"So, where is your Pokémon?" Adrian pointed down. Wilson immediately recognized the figure. It was a Houndour of all things. A dog-like Pokémon with short, black fur with a red underbelly and snout. It has short, pointed ears and a tail. Its fangs protrude out of its mouth, and its nose is dark in coloration. There are white bands on its ankles, and more rib-like ones on its back.

The Houndour walked to Wilson's leg, smelling his scent. Suddenly, it put his front paws on Wilson's jeans and waved its tiny tail. Like if it recognized him.

Taking notice of this, Adrian quickly remarked. "Before you ask, this Pokémon was my dog Rex." Wilson gaped in surprise. Rex was a Pinscher with brown fur. Whenever Wilson came to Adrian's house, he would pet the dog all the time and also play with it sometimes. That's how it was able to recognize him.

"Are you telling me that your dog transformed into a Pokémon?" Wilson asked.

"Exactly. When I first saw it, I couldn't believe it and I began searching for Rex all around my house. There was no sign of him. The only dog inside my house was this one that was following me all around like if it knew who I was. When I asked it if it was Rex, he answered with a nod like if he had understood!" Adrian explained.

"Pokémon do understand English, you know. They only can't talk back." Wilson remarked.

"Yeah, I know. Say, are you going to talk with me here or you're going to actually invite me to go inside?" Adrian joked.

"Ops, sorry. Come on in." Wilson let the guests in and motioned them to sit at the living room. It had two sofas, one triple sized and another double sized, in front of each other with a small table separating them. Adrian sat at the triple sized and Wilson at the double one. Rex, of course, lay down on the floor.

"So," Adrian began. "where is your Pokémon?" He asked while looking around, trying to spot it.

Wilson chuckled at his friend. "Relax, she will come in soon."

"She?"

"Yeah, it's a female."

Adrian looked at him suspiciously. "You're not getting any wild fantasies over her, are you?"

"Of course not, you dirty minded!" Wilson shouted while blushing. Adrian could only laugh at his friend. Whenever Wilson told him he met a girl somewhere, he always used that joke on him. It was impressive that he fell for it every time.

Somewhere in the house, Neemie was hearing the whole conversation. She blushed into deep red when she realized what Wilson's friend had meant. She liked him of course, but it was too soon for those kinds of things.

#Back to the boys…#

"So, can I at least see her?" Adrian asked impatiently.

"Alright then. Neemie, come over here!"

They waited for a few seconds, but there was no sign of her. Wilson made a faint smile. It was time to unleash his plan.

"Where is she?" Adrian asked still looking around.

"Above you." Wilson remarked.

As Adrian looked upwards, Neemie had her invisibility off already. And when he set his eyes on her…

"Laa?" She spoke.

"Waaah!" Adrian shouted frightened. Wilson laughed to death from his friend's reaction. Neemie moved towards Wilson and stayed at his side.

"Adrian, this is the Pokémon I found. Her name is Neemie, a Latias." Wilson introduced. Adrian knew about Latias. He had watched Pokémon Heroes when he was a kid. But, he wasn't expecting a Latias as his friend's Pokémon.

"Dude, where did you find her?" He simply asked.

"I found her this morning when I was at the park near here. I was overlooking the city while thinking about a few things. Then, I noticed some strange sounds. I first thought they were from the wind, but they were way too feminine. That's when she appeared before me. And we have been friends ever since. She also agreed to live with me since she had no place to stay." Wilson explained.

"Man, I'm so jealous! I wish I had met a Legendary too!"

That's when they heard my mother shout. Both teenagers and their Pokémon ran to the source. Back in his old room, they saw Wilson's parents gaping at some strange blue light.

"Mom, dad, what's happening?" Wilson asked.

"It's Ralph. I don't know what it's happening to him. He just got swallowed by this light." His mom explained frightened. However, Wilson knew exactly what was happening.

"Relax, mom. You'll see soon."

After a few seconds, the light faded. Instead of a Berger Picard dog that Ralph used to be, he had transformed into Herdier now (2). A dog-like Pokémon with a face sporting an abundance of cream fur, forming a moustache and a three-pointed crest of fur on its head. Its ears are large and perked, and it has a shaggy dark blue pelt on its body and tail. Its limbs are orange-brown.

"Mom, dad, I have to say this. Ralph is like Neemie now. He has been turned into a Pokémon." His parents said nothing.

"It's true, Mr. and Mrs. Cloudfield. My dog has also turned into a Pokémon. Have a look." Adrian brought his Houndour up to the bed.

"But how is this happening?" Mr. Cloudfield asked. While the humans were chatting, the Pokémon were getting along with each other. They were also talking on their own way, saying their own names, smiling…

"I have some hypotheses, but I can't say for sure." Wilson began.

Adrian turned to Wilson. "I know what you're thinking. Arceus, right?" (3)

"Yeah, it's the only explanation I could find."

"Who is Arceus, dear?" Mrs. Cloudfield asked curiously.

"Well, this will sound ridiculous for you, but I'll explain. In the Pokémon fiction, there is a Pokémon called Arceus who believed to be creator of everything. Humans, Pokémon, whatever you think. He's also believed to have immense power and probably he's the one who is doing this. Not that I'm complaining, but I still wonder why." Wilson explained.

"Well, I suppose we can adapt to this." Mr. Cloudfield sighed. He and his wife will need to play those games of his son to get the basics of Pokémon. Good thing he was a huge fan of it.

"Adrian, let's check our Facebook accounts. I bet there are lots of people talking this too." Adrian nodded. Wilson led him to his game room where Wilson's laptop was located. Their Pokémon followed suit. After booting it, Wilson quickly clicked at his Mozilla to open up the Facebook page. Setting his email and password, he logged in. When he opened his news feed, he found what he had expected. There were numerous posts of weird creatures appearing out of nowhere. Fortunately, most of his friends recognized them as Pokémon since they at least heard of the Pokémon franchise.

Wilson turned to face his Pokémon. "Well Neemie, we are free to play anywhere we want now. Pokémon are appearing all over the world, so there's no need to keep you a secret." Neemie spun in joy.

"Can I come over too? Rex would love to play too." Adrian asked. Rex gave a happy bark and nodded, reassuring his owner's words.

Wilson looked to his cell phone. It was 10:10 am. Time have passed quickly while they were chatting this far. "We have 2 hours before lunch. We'll also start our training in the afternoon, so be ready for it." Everyone nodded in agreement. "Then without further ado, let's have some party time at the park!"

#Later that afternoon#

Like he had planned, Wilson gathered Adrian, Neemie and Rex for the training at the same place they had gone to play. It was a clearing surrounded by bushes and trees, also a very remote place around these parts. And it was big enough for their training activities.

"Alright guys." Wilson began. "This is our first training session. Now that the world took notice of the existence of Pokémon, there is no doubt that battles will become common in our nowadays. That's why we must train to not only protect ourselves, but also beat our opponents in a friendly match." He paused for a moment to gather his thoughts. "Adrian, now that you are a Pokémon Trainer, you will be responsible for your Pokémon's training. It's a job of every Trainer to look after his own Pokémon and improve their battle skills by training."

Imitating a soldier, Adrian gave a salute. "Roger that, sir." He thought that Wilson could be a good sergeant if he happened to join the army. He quickly called for Rex and went some meters away from Wilson and Neemie to start his own training.

Wilson walked to Neemie and petted her head. "Ready?" She nodded excited.

"Alright, then show me what moves you have." He stood by her side while she did what he said. She concentrated on the list of moves she knew already. For the first choice, she unleashed a mighty gust from her mouth towards the sky, which Wilson recognized as Dragon Breath. "Hmm… Dragon Breath… A damage dealing move capable of paralyzing the target." Neemie nodded as she heard him. For the second, she concentrated her psychic powers on a small rock. Her eyes began to glow blue as she lifted it. "Psychic, also a damage dealer move capable of lowering the opponent's defense." She was surprised that Wilson knew so much about her moves, which is a good thing anyway. For her third choice, she closed her eyes and unleashed a green aura over her body. "Hmm… that's Refresh if I'm not mistaken. A status move that cures poison, burns and paralysis." And finally, she raised a blue energy shield around her. "And that's Safeguard, a status move that prevents the user from status problems. I must say, you got a strong move set for someone who is starting." Latias nodded approvingly.

Wilson turned to see how his friend was going. By the way, he was so focused on Neemie that he forgot to check on Rex's moves. "Everything okay there, Adrian?"

"Yeah, Rex showed me what moves he can do. Say, wanna battle?" Adrian smirked.

"I don't think this is a good idea. We still don't have the technology that the Pokémon Centers have and we don't know how to treat a Pokémon yet." Wilson explained. He was right. Pokémon had been discovered today after all.

"I suppose you're right, but we should do something to test their speed. A battle would be nice, but out of commission."

"Yeah, I guess there is nothing left to exercise on. And we can't risk on our Pokémon getting hurt." Wilson looked at his cell phone. "And besides, it's getting late. It's 5:44 pm already."

"Hmm… dinner will soon be served. I'll see you tomorrow then."

"But, don't you want a-" Adrian interrupted Wilson before he could finish the sentence.

"Nah, it's okay. My house is near here anyway."

"If you say so. See you later then." Wilson and Neemie waved good bye and headed back to the car.

"See ya."

#Later that night#

Back to their home, Wilson and Neemie were watching TV together at the game room. It was displaying an old movie that Wilson loved to watch. Star Wars Episode 6: Return of the Jedi. But, what kept him surprised was the fact that Neemie didn't seem to mind the violence that movie had. Perhaps, she knew that it was just fiction. Anyway, he had to ask her.

"Neemie, are you okay with this movie?" Wilson asked as he looked at her. She gazed him and nodded in response. "Oh, just asking. Because… you know, I thought you didn't like violence things." He said while returning his attention to the TV, trying to hide his embarrassment. Somehow, he always gets nervous when he is alone with a girl.

Neemie giggled at her trainer's shyness and licked his cheek. She didn't mind if the movie was too violent for her, because she was on her trainer's side.

Wilson could only chuckle. "You're not going to stop doing this, are you?" The Latias giggled again and gave him another lick. Part of her liked to tease him with those licks, but there was also another part that she actually liked this human. She felt comfortable when he was around her, someone who she could depend on.

"Wilsooon! Dinner is served!" His mom shouted from the kitchen.

"Coming! Let's go, Neemie."

At the dining room, there was a large rectangular table which housed 6 chairs. The table was made of glass with two stone pillars under it as support. The chairs, however, were made a dark brown wood with a yellow pad to make the sit comfy.

Dinner was basically one large Tuscan Pizza which was Wilson's favorite type of pizza and a 2 liters Coke-Cole soda. Since he wasn't sure if Neemie could eat it, he brought a large pack of apples for her. He even took a few grapes to make a grape juice to add into her meal. He put the apples on a dish and the juice in a cup and put them just next to his dish, so Neemie could stay by his side.

"Oh, I'm forgetting Ralph's food." Mrs. Cloudfield remarked before she could start eating. She went back to the kitchen and got the rations box for dogs. She also dropped it on the dish that Ralph usually used to eat.

When she was back, she decided to break the silence. "So, dear, how was the training?"

"To be honest, it did not end as I expected. We had forgotten that without the Pokémon Centers, battles can be very risky." Wilson explained as he ate his piece of pizza.

"What are these Pokémon Centers?" His father asked.

"They are a place where Pokémon and Trainers can rest after a long trip. It's also used to heal the injured Pokémon when they were in a battle. Well, that's what they are in the anime."

While they were chatting, Neemie was devouring every apple she saw in her way. She was on her third already and there were five to go. Wilson noticed that and wasted no time on devouring his own meal. But, he soon felt that someone was missing.

"Where is Charles?" He asked.

"Your brother called. He said he would be spending the day in his friend's house for the night. He said he had to go to a party near there." His father explained.

"I see. Well, he's in for a big surprise when he returns." Wilson chuckled as he took his last bite on his pizza and began to drink his soda. By the time he was doing that, Neemie had already finished with the apples and used both of her claws to grab the juice cup.

Wilson was the first one to finish. "Man, I'm stuffed." He got both his dish and cup and put them at the kitchen's sink. He also put Neemie's there when she got finished. "Thanks for the dinner, mom. I'm going to bed now. You coming, Neemie?" She nodded.

They reached the game room where Wilson slept while his mother was using his room to recover. He used a mattress since that room had no bed in it. There was also an extra one in case he had a visitor. He put it next to his own.

Neemie blushed at the sight of that. She didn't believe that she was going to sleep just next to her trainer. Fortunately, Wilson was too focused on preparing both beds. He had covered each with a blanket and took extras in case the night was too cold for them to handle. He also brought pillows.

When the preparations were complete, Wilson immediately lay down on his mattress. Neemie followed suit. However, Neemie didn't use her pillow to rest her head. Instead, she moved it to Wilson's belly.

Wilson looked at her quizzically. "Won't you use your pillow?" She shook her head negatively. She was quite comfortable with her head rested on his belly. "Okay, I'll try to make it as comfy as I can." He said while chuckling. He didn't actually mind that she rested her head on his belly. It was kinda cute of her.

In no time, Neemie quickly fell asleep, leaving only Wilson awake.

"Goodnight, Neemie." He whispered and fell asleep.

Note 1: To make things interesting, Neemie still doesn't know how to use the psychic abilities of a proper Latias. You'll see the reason in further chapters.

Note 2: Who else could it be?

Note 3: I got this idea of animals' transformation into Pokémon when I read ThorAxe18's story (Pokémon Journeys: Aaron's New Experience). So, all credits goes for him. Further transformations shall be explained at the next chapter.

This story will be held on stand-by until I finish my Mass Effect and Megaman Crossover story and after an update at PMD: Team Eon.

Please review!
