Nightshroud: The Beginning

Chapter 3

Everyone went to bed except for Nightshroud, Latias, and Latios. Nightshroud was leaning against a wall in the secret garden. Latias is nervous for some reason. Latios is trying to calm her down by saying 'You can do it!' several times. Latias finally got some courage and floated towards Nightshroud. Nightshroud looked at Latias as she was coming to him.

Latios took a deep breath and said 'Now that you can communicate with me, I wanna ask you something.'

Nightshroud nodded. "Sure! Ask away!"

Latias took another deep breath then said 'Since you're leaving tomorrow, I've been thinking about going to see the world outside the city.' Nightshroud is confused but Latias asked 'Can I come with you? As your pokemon?'

"Huh?" Nightshroud exclaimed surprised. "You want to be one of my team?" he asked. Latias nodded. "That does make sense!" Latias looked confused.

Latios chuckled. 'I told you he's gotten smarter!'

"I let you come with me, but what about the city?" Nightshroud asked.

'Don't worry about that!' Latios said. Nightshroud was confused. 'It's weird, but when you gave the Soul Dew a part of your aura, you gave it security mode for not just the Soul Dew, but the entire city too!'

"Security mode?" Nightshroud asked still confused.

Latios smiled. 'When there are intruders trying to reach for the Soul Dew, the water will give them a mild shock.' Latios said. 'And get kicked out of the city.'

"How mild?" Nightshroud asked.

'Well, just about as strong as Pikachu's Thunderbolt.' Latios answered.

Nightshroud looked unfazed. "Okay! You can come with me Latias!" Latias cooed and circled around in excitement.

'She's not the only one who wants to go with you Nightshroud!' Latios said.

Nightshroud was confused at first, but he finally thought of the answer. "Latios? You want to come with me too?"

Latios nodded. 'Yes. I don't think you can handle my sister alone because of her overexcitement attitude.'

'Hey!' Latias yelled. Nightshroud and Latios lauged at her reaction.

"Handling two legendaries is a big responsibility." Nightshroud said. "Are you sure you guys wanna go through with this?" Latias and Latios nodded. "Well . . . okay then! But before I capture you guys, I better tell the others in the morning." The two eon dragons nodded in agreement. Nightshroud then jumped on a tree branch. "I've slept on something harder than this. So it's nothing new to me." Nightshroud then drifted off to sleep.

The eon dragons watched as Nightshroud drifted to sleep on the branch. They then went back to their bed and slept wondering what the future will take them.

The next morning, Bianca and Lorenzo are in the dining room eating breakfast. Nightshroud came in apple in hand. "Morning!" he said. Bianca and Lorenzo did the same. "I've got some news." Nightshroud told them the news that Latias and Latios want to go with him.

"What!" Bianca and Lorenzo said simultaneously.

"You two want to go with A-Nightshroud?" Bianca asked. The eon dragons nodded. "But what about the city? And Latios, you just got back here!" Bianca, Lorenzo, Latias, and Latios caught up last night.

"I know Latios just go out of the Soul Dew, but staying here in the city still made him feel like that he's in a prison." Nightshroud informed. "And don't worry about the city because . . ." Nightshroud explained the security mode that the Soul Dew just got.

Lorenzo spoke up. "I see. So any intruder who tries to reach for the Soul Dew will receive a shock as strong as Pikachu's Thunderbolt and get kicked out of the city." Nightshroud nodded. "I see. Well in that case, be careful out there! You are going to a very dangerous place!"

Bianca was shocked after hearing what her grandpa just said. "Are you actually encouraging them?" she asked quietly to her grandpa.

"Look, I'll miss them too, but Ash has a good point!" Lorenzo whispered. "We can't just keep them in the city. We need to let them go out and see the world!"

"Yeah, but to a very dangerous region?"

"They'll be fine! Besides, don't you want to make them happy?" Lorenzo asked. Bianca looked at Nightshroud and the eon dragons, then nodded.

"I guess you're right!" Bianca whispered and turned to see the others. "Be careful out there you guys!" she said. Latias flew around the garden. Latios just smiled.

"Alright guys! Lets say our goodbyes!" Nightshroud suggested. Everyone said their goodbyes to each other. After that, Nightshroud got a couple of pokeballs for the eon dragons. "Are you sure you wanna go through with this?" he asked the eon duo one last time. They nodded. Latias didn't hesitate and touched the pokeball that has a blue triangle on the red top. Latios didn't hesitate either and touched the ball that has a blue top with a red triangle.

Both balls shook for a few moments and then a 'click' sound was heard meaning the capture was successful. Nightshroud clipped the balls on a necklace like Drake and his Dragonite's pokeball. After saying goodbye to Bianca and Lorenzo once more, he left for the docks.

Nightshroud made it to the docks and released Latias and Latios out and hopped onto Latios. "Next stop, the Orre region!" Nightshroud exclaimed.

Latios and Latias then flew off like a jet. Nightshroud and Pikachu are enjoying the view to the ocean. The eon duo are enjoying the world outside of Alto Mare so far. Then suddenly, Latios stopped mid-way.

Nightshroud turned to see what's wrong and saw a familiar figure. The figure is a big cat-like figure with a white body, purple tail and stomach, and a mass of flesh connecting the center to its head behind its neck.

"Mewtwo?" Nightshroud asked.
