Ash bowed to Latias. "Shall we depart my lady?" he asked with a heavy accent. Latias giggled at his antics. He then took her arm and kissed her right above her claws. This time she blushed. "I'm ready when you are." Ash nodded and grasped her arm. They were enveloped by a blue light and soon disappeared. Ash opened his eyes when he felt his feet make contact with the ground. Latias had teleported them inside the reservoir. He could see baby Nidoqueen and Rhyhorn playing with each other a few meters away. To the side on top of a small cliff he could see the parents watching over them. They were wary of his presence, but they recognized his smell and knew he wouldn't harm their children. "Adorable aren't they?" Ash asked.
He waited a few seconds for Latias to respond, but she didn't. He turned around and saw her hiding behind a tree. "What are you doing?" Latias pointed to the cave entrance. Standing inside it was Mewtwo who was watching them quietly. Ash smiled and ran up to him. He extended his hand. Latias lurched forward from behind the tree. She stopped dead when she saw Mewtwo accept his hand. She was even more dumbfounded when Mewtwo smiled. She hadn't expected the source of so much psychic energy to be so nice. "It has been a long time Ash Ketchum. It appears you and Pikachu are doing well." "The same goes for you, but why are you here? I thought you went to find a new place to live?" "I would ask you the same thing, but I have a feeling I know why you're here. You were looking for me were you not?" Ash nodded. "I thought you might be here. You have a soft spot for the Pokémon living here. It isn't too surprising you would come to visit them." "You are correct in your assumption. Before we continue though I must ask you something." "Go ahead." "Why did you bring Latias here?"
Latias looked at Mewtwo in surprise. "How do you know my name?" she asked. "I am the product of a cloning experiment that tried to recreate Mew. Instead, I was created. I do, however, have knowledge on all of the existing and pre-existing Pokémon of the world thanks to Mew's DNA." Latias flew over to Ash and grabbed his arm for comfort. She was still cautious of Mewtwo. Mewtwo saw this and looked at Ash. "I assume you're here for more than just a visit." "I've come to make a request. Will you hear me out?" Mewtwo considered everything Ash had done for him. Ash had both saved him from certain death and has done an excellent job of keeping quiet about the events that transpired upon Mt. Quena. He then looked around and saw the other Pokémon had become interested in their conversation. He looked back at Ash and nodded. "I will hear you out, but let us take it somewhere more private." Before anyone could respond they were enveloped in a purple light and disappeared.
