The Shining Latios

A/N: Triforcelord here, and oh my Arceus, I am so sorry! I'm surprised you guys haven't started to crowd around my house with pitchforks, torches, and level 100 Tyranitars and tried to completely annihilate me! But I assure you, I have very good reasons. First, my little sister and grandparents came to visit. Then another one of my grandparents died, and then school started. Then I got a girlfriend, and throughout all of this my computer has been broken. It's still broken, so I'm using my parent's computer right now. But enough about that, let's get this show on the road (By the way, I apologize in advance if this chapter sucks, I haven't written for over two months.) !

The Shining Latios Chapter 5: Brock's Back!

Right after Ash said that, everybody looked around for the mustard colored electric mouse. They turned over stones, looked through the grass, and Ash had an encounter with a Weedle that ended up with Lorenzo having to spray him with Antidote and Potion.

'He's not here.' Latias said, lifting a small pile of rocks with her Psychic out with and almost passing out with the effort, 'I'll go into town and see if I can find him.' And with that, she turned invisible and dove under the lake and through the underwater tunnel that lead to the city.

Ash made a move to follow her, but right as he was about to transform, he heard a familiar voice…no wait, two familiar voices…or was that a familiar voice and a squeak?

The voices got closer, and everybody turned to the entrance to the garden. Or at least, everybody except Ash, who was still trying to work out who the voices could possibly belong to.

Brock and Pikachu walked in, with Pikachu on Brock's shoulder. Brock was still yelling at Pikachu.

"I had a winner there!" Brock said, "Couldn't you see that she was totally into me?! Then you just had to go and electrocute me!" Finally, Brock looked around and saw everybody staring at him.

"I don't want to talk about it." Brock muttered darkly, glaring at Pikachu.

"I think we can all guess what happened." Bianca said, rolling her eyes, "You were trying to be a womanizer, and Pikachu caught you and turned you into human toast. And by the way, nice to see you again!" Bianca finished this with a smile.

Just then, a shower of water came from behind Brock, soaking them all, as if something wet and invisible was shaking itself dry. But that could never happen!

Latias turned visible.

…I hate society.

Latias was very disgruntled. 'I can't believe I actually went through the tunnel, flew around the city, and was just about to give up when I saw those two-' Here she indicated Brock, who was standing open mouthed at Latias, and Pikachu, who looked like he was about to argue, but then thought better of it, '- walking through the entrance!' She crossed her arms and looked around at them all. It was then that she noticed Ash, who was standing, facing away from them, with a frown of concentration on his face.

Latias flew over to Ash, feeling worried. 'Ash?' She said telepathically. When Ash didn't move, she said in her normal voice, "Ash?" She was now officially worried.

From up on Brock's shoulder, Pikachu sniggered and jumped off. "I know what he needs." he said, still sniggering. He ran over to where Latias was, with everybody looking at him curiously.

"Stand back." Pikachu said to Latias, who flew back quickly. She had an inkling of what he was going to do, and although she didn't like it, she knew that Pikachu's methods were the best when it came to getting to Ash.

Pikachu stood still for a second, charging up all of the electricity he possibly could, and gave Ash a thunderbolt that would have probably killed Ash if said boy/Latios wasn't part Dragon-type. 'Now I don't have to hold back!' Pikachu though gleefully.

Ash's bones were visible for all to see, and when Pikachu had finished, he dropped to the ground, blackened and twitching. Latias started to move forward, but Pikachu held up a hand and counted down with his fingers. Three, two, one…

Ash picked himself up so fast the humans couldn't see it and yelled at Pikachu, "WHY DID YOU DO THAT PIKACHU! THAT HURT WORSE THAN MISTY'S COOKING!" He then realized what he had just said. "PIKACHU!" Ash said, picking up said mustard-colored mouse and hugging him tightly. Everybody in the vicinity sweat dropped. "I thought you were gone forever, buddy!"

Pikachu, however, was in no condition to respond. His whole body was turning blue, even his cheek pouches.

Latias flew forward. 'Um, Ash?' She said telepathically, 'I think you should let go of Pikachu now.' Pikachu looked like a Latios-colored mouse.

Ash looked down and immediately let go of Pikachu. Pikachu landed on the ground and started rolling around, gasping for breath. "Sorry buddy." Ash said, rubbing the back of his head with an embarrassed smile on his face. Pikachu gave him thumbs up, and continued rolling around, trying to regain his previous yellow color.

Brock decided to make himself known. "Hey, Ash," He said, "How long did it take for you to find this place, huh?"

Ash turned around and his face broke into a wide grin. "Hey Brock!" Ash said, "When did you get here?"

Brock laughed and said, "Around the time when the Pokemon talked and Pikachu zapped you."

Ash looked confused. "What Pokemon talked?" He said. Everyone, for the second time since Pikachu had gone missing, sweat dropped.

"Um, Ash?" Bianca said, "Brock doesn't know about the new stuff yet."

"Oh right!" Ash said, "Brock, you're going to freak when you hear this." When everyone crowded around, Ash looked around at them. "Why are you all listening to this? You've already heard it."

"Oh, so we can't hear it twice?" Bianca said, annoyed.

"What Bianca means, I'm sure, is that we don't completely understand what you said completely." Lorenzo said, trying to play peacekeeper.

Ash sighed. "Fine, but…no interruptions!" He said, looking around at them all, making sure that they understood. 'Finally, I get to be the one saying it!' Ash thought to himself.

He heard a giggle in his mind. 'It feels good, doesn't it?' Then the giggle again.

Ash was now used to it, so he didn't jump. He was, however, peeved that his mind was no longer private. "Keep out of my head, will you!" Ash said to Latias, who just giggled and made motions for him to continue.

"Well, you might as well make yourselves comfortable." Ash said, sighing and preparing to tell the story again.

'Hold on.' Latias said, and she transformed into Bianca. 'Okay, now you can start.' She said, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"Yeaaaaahhhhh, I really want to know what's going on here." Brock said.

Making sure that everybody was finally finished, Ash told his tale again. When he was finished, even those who had already heard the tale was staring open-mouthed. Brock however, was beside himself.

"You-Latios-how-why-talk-transform-Arceus-green-fly?!" Brock said. Everybody stared at him like he had just said something completely insane…wait a minute.

"What I mean is," Brock said hastily, "Can you prove it?"

Ash stared at him, hurt. "You mean, you don't believe me?" He said.

"It's not that." Brock said, "It's just this is a big deal, and I want to see proof before I make any more judgment."

"Well, okay." Ash said slowly. He turned to Latias. "Now how do I transform again?"

She sweat dropped and told him how. 'Now remember,' She said telepathically, 'This will be easier than before, so no turning into Bianca again, got it?' She was trying to emulate how her brother had taught her to transform: Through being a little tough on her until she got it right the first time.

The reminder of Ash's first failed transformation brought tears of laughter to everyone. Even Brock laughed, then he realized something.

"Wait a second." Brock said. They all turned to look at him. "Ash, you became a girl?" Ash nodded, "Did you look in the shirt?" Brock said, ready to feel proud of Ash.

Bianca and Latias both walked up to Brock and said the exact same thing, one telepathically and one vocally. "PERVERT!" They both hit Brock so hard he was knocked out with swirls in his eyes. The two girls smiled at each other and hi-fived.

Ash, however, was a bit annoyed. "Now how am I going to make him believe me!" He said, exasperated.

The girls looked at each other and said simultaneously, "Oops…" They grinned sheepishly.

Just then, they heard a low rumbling. They looked around and heard it again. This time, they found out who it was. Pikachu was rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

"Heh heh, sorry guys." Pikachu said, his stomach still rumbling, "I'm starving."

Lorenzo looked up at the sky and was alarmed to see how pink the sky was. He checked his pocket watch. "Oh, my, look at the time!" He exclaimed, "No wonder Pikachu is so hungry. Let's go back to our house for supper, and get a good night's rest, shall we?" Everybody nodded, and they headed back to Lorenzo and Bianca's house. Ash and Latias stayed behind, however.

Ash looked at Brock. "So how are we gonna get him all the way to Bianca and Lorenzo's house?" He asked Latias.

Latias thought for a bit, and she decided to give Ash some training. 'You're going to carry him.' She said matter of factly.

Ash backed up. "How am I going to carry him?" He asked, "He weighs at least fifty more pounds than I do!" Latias just looked at him.

'Think about it.' She said, hoping that Ash would actually think for once.

Ash thought and inspiration came to him. "Wait a second, I'm a Latios!" He said excitedly, "I can carry him on my back!"

Latias beamed at him. 'Good boy!' She said, ruffling his hair, 'Now transform and let's get going.'

Ash was feeling strange after Latias had ruffled his hair, but he shook his head and gave Latias his trademark grin. "Alright, let's do this!" He said, and transformed…into Latias.

Latias sweat dropped. 'Oh boy…' She thought to herself, looking at Ash banging his head against a tree, 'This could take a while…'

A/N: So, how was that? Was it good, bad, divine, or vomit-inducing? Please tell me in a review! By the way, I really am sorry about the long wait. Stuff happened, as I said before, and I didn't have access to a computer. So, please Read and Review. Triforcelord, out!
