Chapter 2

Brock and Misty arrived at Lorenzo's house a few minutes later.

"Where are they?" asked Lorenzo.

"Latios and Latias were at the museum," replied Misty, "they somehow rebuilt the soul dew!"

Lorenzo and Bianca sighed with relief. "So the town will be alright after all," said Lorenzo.

"Yeah, everything is back to normal," said Brock, "where's the Eon?"

"We have him in the upstairs guest room," said Lorenzo, "He's still sleeping. I'm kind of curious who he is since I've never heard of a third Eon before."

"It sure is a mystery," said Bianca.

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. "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. It didn't take long since they were eager to hear 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!"

"He said he would explain everything he knows, but he didn't say when," answered Latias.

"Fine," sighed Bianca, "So how are you two able to use telepathy?"

"When Ash saved me, it just hit us, I guess," Latios said.

Misty and Brock's eyes widened. "Where is Ash?!" "Is he okay?!"

"That I will only answer halfway, and will explain the rest when our guest wakes up," said Latios, "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 a Pokémon like that before!"

"That, neither of us know," Latios telepathed.

"Ugh! The waiting is killing me!" complained Misty.

"Bianca, Lorenzo?" Latios telepathed. "Could you get some food ready? I'm sure the other Eon will be hungry when he wakes up. In the meantime, we will go up and wait for our guest to wake up."

With that, Latios motioned for Latias to follow him, and they headed upstairs.

Approximately Two Hours Later…

Ash opened his eyes, feeling very hungry. It wasn't very surprising that he felt hunger before he felt that something was off. When he did, it felt almost like his body was 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't I feel my legs? And where even am I?"

"As for the second question," said Latios, "You're at Lorenzo's house, in the upstairs guestroom. And the first, it's because you don't have any…" His voice trailed off.

"What?" asked Ash, "What do you mean I don't have legs?" He looked down at himself for the first time since waking up. "What the-?!" He exclaimed, rolling 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," said Latios. "I guess it might have happened because it was the only way your body could survive the revival,"

Ash looked at them blankly, not really getting what Latios said. He was about to ask something else when someone knocked 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!" said Latias, "Our guest is awake!"

"…"

"Oh! Sorry!" said Latias, flying over to open the door for Pikachu, who was too short to reach it himself.

Ash remained quiet, not knowing what to say. That and he had to scratch 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 scratching so much, Latios was worried that he might dig a hole in his back.

"What, I'm itchy!" Ash said. Everyone sweatdropped.

"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, then gave a sad smile. "It's permanent, isn't it?"

The twins frowned. "I'm afraid so," said Latios, "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?!" said Ash, horrified. "How am I supposed to be the world's greatest Pokémon master as a- uh… What am I again?"

"Ash, we have no idea what you are," said Latias, "we'll have to wait until Bianca and the others hear what you sound like to them, at least when you're 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 yelling for the stupid dragon to wake up. "In fact, I think they did already!" They started to exit the room when Ash called for them.

"What is it?" Latios asked.

"How do I move exactly?" asked Ash, making Latios mentally facepalm for forgetting to teach Ash how to do one of the simplest things.

"Sorry," he said, "just concentrate on leaving the ground, and you should end up doing so."

Ash did as instructed and gasped when 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.

Ash suddenly got a whiff of the meal cooking downstairs, instantly knew where it was, 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!" said Pikachu, chuckling.
