Chapter 2
Brock and Misty arrived at Lorenzo's house a few minutes later. After they knocked, Lorenzo opened the door and let them in.
"Where are they? " Lorenzo asked.
"Latios and Latias are at the museum," Misty replied. "They somehow repaired the soul dew!"
Lorenzo and Bianca sighed with relief. "So the town will be alright, after all," Lorenzo said.
"Yeah, everything is back to normal," Brock said. "Where's the eon?"
"We have him in the upstairs guest room," Lorenzo said. "He's still sleeping. I wonder what he is because I've never heard of a third eon guardian before."
"It sure is a mystery," Bianca said.
Just then there was a knock on the door. Bianca opened it to find the two eon dragons.
"Hello, you two," Bianca said. "I'm glad to see you're okay, although we're going to need some answers."
Latios sighed when Latias pointed to him. "I'll tell you everything I know, because we aren't really sure ourselves," Latios Telepathed. "Latias, you're helping."
The eon twins Levitated over to the couch and waited while everyone got ready to hear the story, which wasn't long because they were eager to know about both Ash and their new eon friend in the guestroom.
"I will only answer a couple of questions at the moment," Latios telepathed. "We are going to wait for our 'guest' to wake up to answer most of them."
"Wait!" Bianca said. "You said you would explain everything you knew!"
Latias answered her this time. "He said he would explain everything he knows, but he didn't say when." She said.
"Fine," Bianca sighed, giving up. "How are you two able to use telepathy?"
"When Ash saved me, it just hit us, I guess," Latios said.
Bianca's eyes widened. "Where is Ash?!" She said, "Is he Okay?!"
"That I will only answer halfway, and will explain the rest when our guest wakes up," Latios said. "All I will say is that he's alive and will stay that way. He's doing fine."
"Why are we waiting on this orange eon to wake up, anyways?" Lorenzo asked.
"That we will not answer," Latias telepathed this time.
"Last question, what is that Pokémon, anyways?" Brock asked. "I've never seen such a Pokémon, or even heard of one like this!"
"That, neither of us knows," Latios telepathed.
"Ugh! The waiting is killing me!" Misty yelled.
"Bianca, Lorenzo?" Latios telepathed. "Could you get some food ready? I'm sure the other eon will be hungry when he wakes up. Meanwhile, we will go up and wait for the guest to wake up."
With that, Latios motioned for Latias to follow him, and they headed upstairs.
Approximately two hours later
Ash cracked open his eyes, feeling a large feeling of hunger pass through him. It's not really surprising that he felt hunger before he felt weird. When he did, it felt almost like his body was somehow different. He eventually became fully awake and saw the eon siblings hovering beside the bed he was in.
"Latios! You're okay!" He exclaimed, glad to see his friend alive and well. "But why can I not feel my legs? Where even am I?"
"As for the second question," Latios said out loud, surprising Ash, "You're at Lorenzo's house, in the upstairs guestroom. As for the second question, it's because you don't have any…" His voice trailed off.
"What?" Ash asked. "What do you mean I don't have legs?" He looked down at himself for the first time since waking up. "What the crap?!" He screamed. Jumping out of the bed and falling flat on the floor.
"Ouch…" Ash groaned, and used his new forepaws to push himself into a "sitting position".
"How did this happen?" He asked. "And why am I orange?"
The twins sweatdropped at the fact that he asked that before anything else. Ash just looked at them, waiting for an answer, not realizing how stupid his question was, causing them to sigh in misery.
"Ash, we have no clue how this happened. All we know is that it happened while you were reviving me." Latios said. "I guess it might have happened because it was the only way your body could survive the revival."
Ash looked at them blankly, not understanding a word Latios told him. There was a small knock on the door. "Are you two going to tell me where Ash is? Or am I going to have to shock the answers out of you?" Ash guessed the one speaking was Pikachu.
"Come in!" Latias said politely. "Our guest is awake!"
"…"
"Oh! Sorry!" Latias said embarrassed at herself for forgetting that Pikachu couldn't reach the doorknob, as she flew over to the door and opened it.
Pikachu walked in cautiously, not wanting another Latios-to-the-face moment.
Ash remained quiet, not knowing what to say, and because he had to itch his back for the seventeenth time. What? If you had just grown two wings from your back without warning, you would be itchy, too. Right? Latios sweatdropped and decided to take over before Ash embarrassed himself further. "Pikachu, I'll tell you where Ash is, now that he is awake."
"?"
"Ash is alive and well. In fact, he's sitting in front of you embarrassing himself as we speak." Latios let his voice get loud enough to get Ash's attention towards the end.
Ash was currently itching so much, that Latios was worried that he might dig a hole in his back.
"What, I'm itchy!" Ash said stupidly. Everyone face faulted.
"You don't seem surprised," Latios said. "Why is that?"
Pikachu sighed. "Ash seems to have an attraction to these sorts of things," He said, and then he gave a sad smile. "It's permanent, isn't it?" He asked.
Now the twins frowned. "I'm afraid so," Latios said. "His body must have changed in order to survive my revival, so if he were to somehow change back, I don't think he would be able to survive."
"W-what?!" Ash said, horrified. "How am I supposed to be the world's greatest Pokémon master as a- uh… What the heck am I again?"
"Ash, we have no idea what you are," Latias said. "We'll have to wait until Bianca and the others hear what you sound like to them, at least when you are speaking verbally, that is.
"Speaking of the others, we should probably get downstairs. Bianca and Lorenzo are preparing lunch as we speak, and if we don't get down there and tell them what happened, they're going to start a riot!" Latios shuddered as he heard Misty screaming for the stupid dragon to wake up. "In fact, I think they did already!" They all started to rush out of the room when Ash called for them.
"What, Ash?" Latios asked.
"Uh… I can't move very well, remember?" Ash said, making Latios blush in embarrassment. "Sorry," He said. "Just concentrate on leaving the ground, and you should end up doing just that."
Ash did as he was told and gasped as he slowly lifted off of the floor.
"Now just think of going in the direction you want to go. You should be able to adjust the speed on your own." Latios finished.
After Ash got a whiff of the meal cooking downstairs, he somehow instantly knew what he was doing and rushed down the stairs, right after hitting his head on the door frame, that is. The Lati twins and Pikachu followed Ash downstairs at a much slower and safer pace.
"Yep, that is definitely Ash!" Pikachu said, chuckling.
