…
It was quite, almost too quite for Bianca to handle, so she quickly tried to spark a conversation. "Hey Latios." she began awkwardly, remembering back in the medical shed when Latios had placed her on the mattress while she slept; she was secretly awake. The blue eon gave his attention to Bianca and perked up his ear to show that he was listening.
'Yes? What is it Bianca, is there something bothering you?' Latios asked, flying at a calm, smooth, cruising speed as they moved across the enormous land mass below them. At first, hearing this shocked Bianca because for some strange reason she didn't expect Latios to actually, respond. The young girl regained her composure and quickly thought of what she was going to say.
"Oh no, not at all Latios." Bianca falsely laughed, rubbing the back of her head in embarrassment.
'Bianca, I know something is on your mind. I can sense that you are becoming nervous, why should you be?' Latios said in an attempt to help Bianca feel a little more comfortable around him. Bianca fidgeted around nervously, unsure of what to say. 'Well, what is it?' Latios asked, becoming slightly interested in Bianca's behavior.
"Well..." Bianca trailed off. "Wait, what am I doing? Why am I being so nervous!" Bianca scolded herself in her mind. She quickly took a deep breath, "Thanks Latios." the young girl said confidently as she hugged Latios' back. The blue eon was utterly confused.
'Um, what for?' Latios asked, afraid of what Bianca might say. Bianca released Latios from her hug as Latios relaxed a bit.
"For, you know, covering me in blankets when I was cold back at Altomare." Bianca answered, earning a confused look from Latios.
'I thought that you were asleep?' Latios asked, disturbed at Bianca's knowledge.
"I remember it because I think I was half asleep when you put me on the mattress." Bianca quickly said. Latios simply bought what Bianca had to say and replied with a, 'No problem,' because he immediately knew what was going on in Bianca's head.
"Oh great... Even with my weak connection with people's feelings I can still feel that she loves..." Latios cut his thoughts short and quickly took in his surroundings to make sure he was going the right way. "Me... Argh!" Latios finished, becoming overly frustrated with the situation.
While Latios was having his own private self-conflict, Bianca was joyfully gazed around at the beautiful scenery of clouds, mass amounts of pokemon roaming about below, and the shrinking ocean behind them. "Of all the pokemon to have this happen to them, it's me." Latios sweatdropped. "Well, I guess it's not so bad, my first experience with someone having feelings for me." once again Latios screamed out of frustration in his mind as he continued to fly towards Misty's gym.
"I guess I'll just have to take more care of her, especially since... Lorenzo's death." and with that final thought, Latios had made up his mind. "Maybe this wont be so bad." the blue eon concluded as the strange feeling in his stomach subsided.
"Hey Latios, we're almost there. Just a few more miles." Bianca informed as she compared her surroundings with the GPS on her cellphone. Latios sighed in relief, glad that flight was almost finished. "Come on Latios, you're so lazy." Bianca teased with the knowledge of Latios' animosity toward being called lazy.
'What!' Latios gasped, giving Bianca the perfect reaction. 'Lazy? That's impossible!' the blue eon continued. 'I'll prove you wrong!' Latios finished as he gained speed. The blue eon meant business now, the biggest possible insult had been uttered and caught by his ears. Latios continued to gain speed as his arm began to contract into his chest, reducing the amount of air resistance while his unusable arm still moved aimlessly as the air hit it.
"Um, Latios. I think you're going a little too fast." Bianca said uneasily, hanging on to the blue eon for dear life.
Bianca began to scream as Latios continued to mutter to himself, 'Lazy, I'll show you lazy!'
"Somebody help me!"
…
"So kid, what's your name?" the officer in the passenger seat questioned. Still uneasy about having the title of pokephiliac around these two officers, Ash answered. "Ash huh? Well you know what Ash, what those people are doing to you is totally unfair." the officer said in disgust, Delia and Pikachu nodded in agreement. "I'll tell you this. At the Indigo Plateau, they won't even properly assign a certified lawyer to you." the officer said, earning shocked looks from all those in the back seat.
"What! That's totally unreasonable! They're playing dirty!" Delia burst out in rage. "Isn't that against the law? How can they do this!" Delia demanded. The officer put up his hands in an attempt to calm Delia down.
"I'm outraged too, but you can't do anything about it. The court randomly selects anyone from the room if nobody volunteers." the officer explained. Pikachu gritted his teeth as small sparks of electricity shot out of his cheeks. The officer looked at Pikachu and didn't even seem slightly intimidated. "I know how your Pikachu feels, I'm angry even though it's not me being accused!"
The police car was headed down a dirt road as a small city appeared over the hill after an hour of driving. "We're going to have to stop here for gas, if you need anything just ask." the driver said as he looked over his shoulder to see the backseat. Delia timidly asked for some water while Ash blurted out his request for some ice cream and a few packets of ketchup for Pikachu.
"Ketchup? Isn't that a little strange for a Pikachu to eat?" the officer asked while the driver came to a slow stop at a gas station with a convenient store. Ash quickly explained his buddy's strange taste as the driver got out of the car to refuel its tank. "Well ok, so water for Mrs. Ketchum and ice cream and ketchup packets for Ash and Pikachu." the officer recalled as he opened his door.
"Oh, please just call me Delia." Mrs. Ketchum said, becoming embarrassed. The officer gave a friendly nod and headed toward the convenient store. "He's so nice." Delia said in awe as she cleaned a drool stain from Ash's cheek. "Ash, how on earth did this drool stain get on your cheek?" Delia questioned in a motherly tone.
"Must have been there this morning." Ash laughed weakly as he prepared himself for a brief scolding. While Delia and her son were having their little "talk" in the police car, the officer was having a serious but sympathetic talk in his thoughts as he walked inside the convenient store.
"I can't believe Ash is still filled with this much energy after what he's going through." the officer thought. "But how come his father wasn't with them when we arrived in Pallet town?" thought the officer as he picked up a water bottle and an ice cream from the freezer and headed for the ketchup packets.
"Well besides that, I've made up my mind. I'll be Ash's lawyer!" the officer confirmed in his head as he picked up the ketchup packets and headed for the cash register. He quickly paid for his items and walked out of the store and headed fort the police car.
"Hey James, will you come with me into the store after I'm done with the car?" the driver asked. James gave a quick nod as he opened the back seat door, handing their passengers their items as they gave a sincere "thank you". The driver finished fueling the car and placed the gas pump in its rightful place as he closed the gas cap on the car. "Alright lets go." the officer said as he opened the back seat door. "Sorry, but James and I will just take a moment and get our things." the officer informed with a smile as he closed the door.
Ash and Delia nodded as the two officers entered the store. "I hate what the law is doing to them." the officer said as soon as they entered the store. The other officer just nodded as the driver began to make a cup of coffee.
"Hey Bob." James said, getting his friend's attention. "I'm going to..." he trailed off. Bob signaled for his friend to continue. "I'm going to be Ash's lawyer." the officer finished. The driver was hardly moved at his friend's announcement.
"That's good James. You're really doing Ash a favor." the driver praised, patting his friend on the shoulder. "Even though you don't have much experience, your time in Law School is all they have left." the driver said as he finished making his coffee and began to walk toward the cash register.
"Oh and by the way, where was Ash's dad?" the officer asked. The driver shrugged as he paid for his items.
"I don't know, but I do know that she isn't married, or at least not anymore." the driver said as he took a sip of his hot, delicious, coffee. The officer was confused, how did his friend know that? "I saw her hand, she had no ring. And besides, I know you have a thing for her. Why don't you go after her? It might help you forget about your divorce." the driver said as they approached the police car.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." the officer said as they entered the vehicle. And with that, they drove back onto the road and continued their way to the Indigo Plateau. The officer began to talk with Ash and Delia, getting to know them as they all enjoyed every second of the time spent in the car.
…
Both Latias and Ken had arrived in the city of Pewter as they searched for Brock's gym. It didn't take long for them to find their desired building; Ken descended as Latias stayed behind; the distance between him and the ground became very small as he quickly searched for an alley to transform in. 'Be careful." Latias said before Ken had left her telepathic zone.
The blue dragon was covered in a brilliant blue hue which disappeared as quickly as it came, revealing a young boy. Ken exited the alley and headed into the entrance of the Pewter Gym. Then a thought struck the boy's mind, "Does Brock know that I'm back?" he thought, "Looks like He's in for a surprise." the boy snickered as he walked through the doors of the Pewter Gym.
It was a fairly large building, a few staff members were cleaning the floors of Brock's gym as some of his pokemon mingled among each other. The young boy called out Brock's name but a nearby staff member told him that the gym leader was currently out on errands. Where could Brock be at this time?
Ken simply thanked the worker and exited Pewter Gym. As soon as the young boy walked out of the gym's doors, he found Brock holding a bag of groceries in one hand, and a young lady's hand in the other... "Oh hello there my beauty! You must be an angel sent down here from heaven to help me find the perfect love, which is you!" the squinty boy flirted, earning an instant slap in return.
"Pervert!" the woman shouted as she walked away in disgust. Brock was on the ground with his groceries still intact, luckily. "I was so close to getting her in my love's grasp..." Brock mumbled, a pink mark in the shape of a hand appeared on his face as he lay on the ground.
"Oh Brock, it seems as though you haven't changed a bit." Ken sweatdropped. Somewhere high in the clouds, Latias witnessed the scene and sweatdropped as well. The young boy approached Brock and peered over his head, the squinty eyed boy took a moment in analyzing this boy's face. And then, Brock's heart suddenly dropped...
"YOU"RE BACK!" The dark boy cried out, causing the people passing by to stare. Brock got up onto his feet and stared at the young boy before him while in a state of shock. Ken tried his best to ignore his friend's embarrassing actions while Brock stood speechless.
"Yeah, it's a long story Brock. Now come on, we got to "go". And stop making a scene!" Ken emphasized as he began to drag Brock toward the alley where he had just came from. The young boy looked back at Brock as they entered the alley, he was still shocked at his sudden appearance. "Latias is waiting for us up in the clouds. Let's not make her wait." Ken said in a hushed voice as he transformed into his true form. Brock nodded and climbed onto the blue dragon's back.
Ken made sure that Brock was secured onto his back, and quickly took off into the sky, stopping as he came above the clouds. "Alright I got Brock, so let's start heading to Mt. Silver." Latias nodded, and with that said, the three began heading in the direction of Mt. Silver. The two eons started the story of Ken's return to Brock as they disappeared in the far, vast, distance.
…
'Alright. We're here.' Latios announced as he landed on top of the Cerulean Gym. Bianca looked completely frozen in place with her wildly blown back hair. Latios had flown at such incredible speeds that he had messed up Bianca's hair, which unnaturally stayed as it was. 'What's wrong Bianca?' Latios sarcastically asked, looking behind his shoulder with a smug look on his face.
"Nothing..." Bianca sweatdropped, carefully getting off of Latios' back as she fixed her hair. "Note to self, never tease Latios when flying on his back." the young girl thought to herself as Latios snickered in the background. The blue eon was satisfied with his revenge and picked Bianca up with his psychic, gently placing her on the ground behind the gym, making sure to be as stealthy as possible.
"Thanks Latios." Bianca said, giving her friend a thumbs up as she walked around to the front entrance. The city of Cerulean was mildly quiet, only a few people passed through the streets, leaving the stores frighteningly empty. As soon as Bianca walked around to the front entrance, she saw Misty coming out through the doors; she looked like she was heading somewhere.
"Hey Misty! It's been a while!" Bianca greeted cheerily, gaining the gym leader's attention. Misty jumped back in surprise, although it has been only a couple weeks, it seemed as if these friends haven't seen each other in ages.
"Bianca!" Misty squealed, embracing her friend in a hug. "What are you doing here Bianca? Isn't it dangerous for you to be back in Kanto?" the red head whispered, looking around her just in case anybody overheard them.
"Yeah, but I'm sticking really close to Latias and Latios to be safe." Bianca replied. "Were you headed somewhere? It looked like you were kind of busy." Bianca asked, looking behind her to make sure there weren't any police men in the area.
Misty nodded sadly, "Yeah, I was going to pick up a Law School book down at the postal office." she explained. Misty knew that in order to help Ash with the case, she needed to know a few things about the law; even with Ash's assigned lawyer, Misty still had an uneasy feeling in her stomach. Immediately Bianca knew why Misty had purchased a book of that kind, it was obviously to help Ash in the case.
"Well anyway Latios, Latias, Ken, and I were going to meet up at Mt. Silver to discuss and plan out what we need to do in order to help Ash win this case. And while Latias and Ken are going to get Brock, Latios and I are here to pick you up." Bianca said, overloading Misty's brain with information of Ken's sudden return. "Follow me, Latios can take you to the postal office to get your book, and then we're out of here!" Bianca said, dragging the speechless and confused Misty behind her.
The red haired girl nodded obediently as she followed her friend to the back of the gym. Bianca signaled Latios to pick them up, and as they did, Bianca started the story of their lost friend's return. Without wasting anytime Bianca paused the story and told Latios to take them to the post office to pick up Misty's package.
The blue eon simply nodded as he flew into the city, heading for a blue building not too far away from their current location.
…
"Why exactly are we going back to Altomare to retrieve my fallen elite?" the shadow boss asked, flying alongside his newly appointed superior. The two shadows were flying across the ocean, leaving behind them a trail of dark energy that tainted the space behind them. Without looking, the shadow spoke.
"You'll find out later in the future." the shadow said, making sure that he left out any kind of detail that was linked to his plan. Giovanni grunted in his thoughts, not wanting to enrage the shadow. They approached their destination, the island of Altomare was in their sights; just over the horizon. "All right so this is what's going to happen. When we get there I want you to fly under that pathetic little island and dig directly in the center of that land mass." the shadow ordered.
Giovanni almost spat in disgust, "And why should I listen to you? I'm the leader of an evil international organization!" he laughed rebelliously. The shadow shot his subordinate a nasty look, a black blade formed in the shadow's claw, and without a second thought the shadow struck Giovanni's back, sending him shooting off into the distance at incomprehensible speeds as he left a trail of blood behind him.
"That's why." the shadow muttered under his breath. With that single strike, the shadow had injured and sent Giovanni closer to the island, asserting his power over the former boss. The shadow had the smile of a maniac on his face, "After the recover of the Marauder, I must make a retreat back to Team Rocket HQ and rest. But after all that is finished, I will finally get to kill that pathetic little crap stain and make all of his friends watch!"
Not wanting to fly the rest of the way to Altomare, the shadow exerted great effort and teleported to the exact spot where Giovanni had landed. "Hurry Giovanni, you have to dig your way to the center without causing any disruption on the surface. I can't have our little heroes stopping us at this time." the shadow ordered.
Giovanni had opened his eyes, his wounds had already regenerated before he even hit the water! With great reluctance, Giovanni followed the orders that he was given. The boss's arm had formed into a black, rope-like, thing and he began to drill his way into the center of the enormous land mass.
Five hours had passed by and Giovanni had created a hole at least fifteen miles long. At the center of the land mass lay a black sphere, its energy was faint and could hardly be sensed by Giovanni or the shadow. "Good work Giovanni, now go back to the entrance of this cave and guard it while I continue on with the process." the shadow ordered as he picked the black sphere up in his claws.
The former boss nodded obediently and did as he was told, leaving the shadow in silence. "Damn, I'm still a little weak from converting Giovanni, this might take a few weeks." the shadow grunted, not wanting to commit to this time consuming task.
But without wasting a single moment, the shadow began the process. He sent all of his energy into the black sphere as its power began to increase. To the shadow's luck, the Marauder's soul was still inside of the black sphere, but just barely.
