On the next day the SS. Anne reached the seas of Jotho. David was on his way to Iain and his thoughts were on his Project M. He really hoped that Iain was able to solve his problem. He didn't doubt that his friend would do everything he could to solve it… but he was worried that the problem was something that couldn't be solved.

He put his worries away as he reached Iain's cabin and knocked on it.

"It's open!"

David entered the cabin and saw that Iain was busy cleaning the body of his Skarmoury.

"Hey Iain! Ready to leave the ship?"

"Of course! Will the ship stop?"

"No! We set off while the ship passes the Whirl Islands. We'll fly to the islands and from there we continue to fly on the back of Lugia!"

Iain grinned at this thought. He heard rumours about flying around on the back of this legendary flying/physic Pokémon. The feathers would be very soft and he knew himself that this Pokémon knows how to fly gracefully. He was sure he would love this flight.

"I assume you will fly on back of Latios or Latias?"

"On Latias… I send Latios home because he is still ill with his cold…"

"I understand…"

Later they were on the deck and had called out their Pokémon before they left the captain said a few words and they took off after they returned Houndoom and Abi into their Pokéballs.

Iain rode on his Skarmoury in the classic flying style while David lay on the back of Latias who enjoyed the position of his trainer. Iain saw often how his Physic/Dragon Pokémon acted around her trainer and wondered more then one time if she is alright in her head. But again… some of his female Pokémon acts very familiar… like her…

After a while they reached the islands and land on one of them. Then David pulled out a shell like flute.

"I thought you cannot play a flute…"

"You are right… I cannot play the flute… but who said I will play it?" said David and gave it to Latias.

She put the flute into her mouth and played a short and beautiful tune. After a few seconds a small water tornado rose from the sea and burst into tiny drops and revealed the mighty White and Blue Pokémon Lugia.

Lugia landed in front of the two trainers and David ran to his Pokémon, embraced it and said: "Hi Lugia! It is great to see you again!"

"My greetings too my friend… it has been a while since we saw each other last…" then Lugia looked at Iain "I assume that is one of your friends?"

"Yep! This is Iain! I met him a few years ago in Hoenn!"

"My greetings Iain!" said Lugia and bowed before him.

"uhm… my greetings too!" Iain said, bowing a bit awkwardly

Lugia nodded and turned to David and ask: "How I can help you?"

"We need you fly to Mt. Silver… we have some business there…"

"I understand… and you want a comfortable flight I guess?"

David nodded.

Lugia nodded back and laid down so that David and Iain could easily climb onto his back.

After they climbed on his back and called Latias and Skarmoury back Iain felt the feathers of Lugia. And he was surprised how soft they were. He don't have any doubts that this flight wold be very comfortable.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready when you are…"

"Ok Lugia! We can take off!"

"With pleasure!" answered Lugia and took off and flew in the direction of Mt. Silver.
