The Commission Chronicles
Chapter 18: Reconciliation.


     “WHAT’S THAT?!” I telepathed to Latias. “IT’S THE ALARM! THE P.A.O. FOUND US!” She yelled. “WHAT?!” I exclaimed.

     “ATTENTION ALL POKEMON!” Mewtwo’s voice came over the intercom. “ALL ABLE BODIED MALE POKEMON REPORT TO THE ESCAPE TUNNEL AT ONCE!”

     I looked over at Latias. “What are they doing?!” I asked. “They’re going to try and stop the P.A.O. from getting away!” She yelled as she flew towards the exit tunnel. “Wait!” I yelled as I grabbed my Lasyr blades and flew after her, trying to think of just how I could help.

     “Latias!” I yelled to her. “This might be my chance to prove myself!” She stopped immediately and I ran into her. “Oof!” She gasped as she got back up and looked at me.

     “Sorry…” I said. “It’s okay.” She replied. “I couldn’t help but think of what you just said. This may very well be the chance to prove yourself trustworthy!”

     “I have to at least try!” I said as I flew back towards the escape tunnel. “I may not get another chance at this. And I don’t have much time!” Latias flew off after me. “Then you try Lateon!” She said with a grin.

     We arrived at the escape tunnel and there were already tons of Pokemon gathered. There were small and large pokemon, all ready to give their all to keep their family and friends safe. Mewtwo was standing next to the escape tunnel.

     “This is the most important duty that you all have had yet!” He said. “We do not have much time, so get out there and stop them from reaching the P.A.O. base! They can’t radio back to base because the electric types are scrambling their frequency, so that will buy us some time.” With that Mewtwo opened the tunnel and Pokemon began to rush into it, intent on stopping the P.A.O.

     I began to head for the tunnel as well, but was all of a sudden stopped by the guards and Mewtwo. “Hey! I need to help!” I said, bewildered at why they wouldn’t let me through.

     “You are not authorized to leave Lateon.” Mewtwo said. I just stared at him dumbfoundedly. “Well how am I to prove that I’m trustworthy if you won’t even let me try?!” I replied furiously. Mewtwo looked sternly at me. “I said you are not to leave until further notice Lateon!” He said.

     “Well heck with this!” I said. “I’m going to help!” I began to try and get around them and to the tunnel. “Stop this instant!” Mewtwo said, blocking my way.

     “You want to trust me Mewtwo!” I yelled at him. “I can tell that you do. And I’m going to prove that I AM trustworthy!” I charged towards the exit, trying to break through.

     I all of a sudden saw a blue aura begin to glow around me and I stopped moving. I knew exactly what was happening. “LET ME GO MEWTWO!!” I yelled. “I cannot!” He replied. I now knew what I had to do.

     I then began a mental battle with Mewtwo, a battle between psychic powers. I caught Mewtwo off guard with my sudden revolt and his grip on me slipped. I began to fly towards the door, but it all of a sudden slammed shut.

     “HEY!” I yelled, banging on the hidden door. “LET ME THROUGH! I HAVE TO HELP THEM!” I spun around and glared at Mewtwo. Neither one of us was very happy.

     “YOU DARE TO DISOBEY ME?!” Mewtwo yelled at me. “WHEN IT COMES TO POTENTIALLY SAVING INNOCENT POKEMON’S LIVES, THEN YES!” I yelled back. Mewtwo’s expression immediately switched to shocked at my comment about saving Pokemon’s lives.

     “What?! You care about US?!” He exclaimed. “I don’t believe it!” I turned back to the door. “Believe what you want to Mewtwo. But I’m going to help!”

     I started to bang on the door again, trying to find a way through. I kept thinking and thinking about how to open it. “Stop it now Lateon!” Mewtwo said. “NO!” I replied.

     “Arrest him.” He told the Rhyperior guards, they began to head for me. “Leave him alone!” Latias yelled as she tried to block their way, but they just shoved her aside.

     (“DANG IT!”) I thought. (“How in the world do I get through?! If only I could go through the wal-WHOA!!”) As soon as I had imagined phasing through the wall, I did. And I found myself on the other side of the door.

     “DUDE!!” I was grinning from ear to ear. “Now let’s go kick some P.A.O. butt!” I said as I shot through the tunnel. I could hear Mewtwo’s telepathy telling me to stop, but I wasn’t going to. “Sorry!” I telepathed back. “I’ll prove yet that I’m trustworthy!”

     I flew out of the tunnel and straight into a battle. There were Pokemon of all kinds battling with the small P.A.O. force that was there. “It looks like we’ve got the upper hand!” I said to a Machoke as I hid behind a rock while bullets raked across it. I then realized that it was the same Machoke, Cholek from the battle with Lucano.

     “HEY! You’re not supposed to be out of the cave!” He exclaimed. “Yeah? Well how am I to prove that I’m trustworthy if you guys won’t even give me the chance to!” I replied. Satisfied with the dumbfounded look on his face, I peered around the corner.

     Only to have bullets rake once more across the rock. “SHOOT! They’ve got heavy machine guns!” I said to Cholek again. “We have to take those out if we’re to even get close to them!” He looked at me. “Are you actually trying to help us?!” He asked. “Yes, yes I am!” I replied. “Now help me out here, I’ve got a plan…” He looked at me curiously. “What kind of plan?”

     We plotted for a few minutes, then we agreed on how to proceed. “I hope your aim is good. Cause this has to work flawlessly!” I said. “You doubt my aim?!” Cholek responded as I chuckled. “No, cause you’ll be throwing towards me, and I’m pretty sure that you don’t like me. That should help with the aiming issue.” He chuckled as well. “I hope you’re right!” He said.

     I heard a Pokemon scream, and swung my head around. There was a small Nidoran laying on the ground, and he was bleeding. “NOOO!” I yelled. I couldn’t stop myself. I felt energy rush through me and I shot forwards, grabbing the Nidoran and dashing back away within seconds.

     “Keep an eye on him!” I told another Pokemon who was staring at me with a shocked expression. I darted back over to Cholek. “You just saved them…” He said with a confused look in his eyes. “Yeah, snap out of it.” I replied. “We’ve got machine guns to take out!”

     “All right!” He said, regaining his bearings. “Are you ready?” I peeked around the corner again. And a P.A.O. soldier saw me. “IT’S THE KID-EON-THING!!!” He yelled.

     “Kid-Eon-thing?!” I exclaimed as I dodged yet another barrage of bullets. “Is that the best they could think of for me?! Kid-Eon-Thing?!” I looked over and saw Cholek laughing. “HEY!” I said. “This is no time to be laughing!” He stopped and wiped a tear from his eye. “Sorry, it was just so funny!” I glared at him. “Now then. Back to the plan. Are you ready?” I asked him. “As ready as ever!” He replied. “Then let’s do this!”

     (“I hope I can recreate what I did in the tunnel.”) I thought to myself. I focused on phasing into the ground, and I did. (“IT WORKED!!”) I exclaimed.

     It was strange, I was “flying” through the ground. But I could still see objects above me in the form of glowing green silhouettes. I zoned in on a soldier who was farther away from the others. I popped out of the ground behind him and pushed him over. “WHA-?!” He exclaimed as he hit the ground.

     The other soldiers spun around and stared in disbelief at me. “Heads up.” I said as I pointed behind them. One of them turned around and screamed as he saw the flying boulder that was headed straight for us. It also happened to be the same boulder that Cholek and I had been hiding behind.

     The boulder smashed into the ground, taking out several machine guns and soldiers. It kept rolling towards me while I was charging an attack. As it reached me I phased through it and as soon as I was out I unleashed the attack.

     I fired a large green energy stream around the spot where the soldiers were bunkered down, destroying all their heavy machine guns and ammo supply. Not to mention a few soldiers as well.

     Pokemon instantly swarmed the area, finishing off the rest of what was there. I smiled as Cholek walked up. “Nice throwing Cholek!” I said. “Nice plan!” He replied. “You’re not like the other humans. I think you actually do care about us.” I breathed a deep sigh of relief. “FINALLY!”

     Pokemon were dancing around cheering and singing happily that it was over. That is until we heard that oh so familiar jet engine noise.

Present time: somewhere over Illinois

     Matt and Jared were headed to the spot where the forest fire and first P.A.O. encounter had happened in one of Kincheloe’s V-22 Ospreys. Matt was thinking about where to begin looking first. But he didn’t have enough solid info to get any good ideas.

     “Let me see that sheet again.” He said to Jared. “Sure. What are you planning?” Jared asked as he handed the sheet of names to Matt.

     Matt looked over the sheet. “It’s kinda hard to read theses names when we’re bumping around like this!” Jared chuckled. “Well the Osprey wasn’t made for comfort Matt!” He replied.

     Matt just kept staring at the paper. “Well?” Jared said. “Huh?” Matt grunted as he looked up from the list. “You never answered my question.” Jared told him. “Oh, sorry. I’m preparing a route that should be the quickest way to get around all the subjects on the list.”

     “Aaaaand?” Jared said. Matt just lowered the paper and glared at Jared. “I JUST started Jared.” He said as Jared began laughing. “You crack me up Matt!” He said. “You’re just so out of it when you’re trying to decipher or investigate something.”

     Matt sighed. “There’s nothing wrong with having a passion for your job.” He said. “I know.” Jared responded. “I’m just saying that it’s funny the way that you zone out.”

     “Is it now?” Matt said as a grin began to cross his face. “Oh no you don’t…” Jared said as Matt’s grin grew bigger. “Well what about how YOU space out when you’re playing Guitar Hero?” Matt said, barely able to keep himself from breaking into laughter.

     Jared just sat there and steamed as Matt happily returned to plotting their route.

     “This is your captain speaking.” The pilot said. “We are currently about three hours from our destination and the weather seems pretty steamy.” He said as he looked back at Jared. All that could be heard was the sound of the engines. Then everyone, (except for Jared) broke into hysteria.

     “Can I jump out without a parachute?” Jared muttered.

Present time: above the Pokemon resistance hideout

     Two gunships rose over the cliff, they had just returned from scouting around the area and saw us. “GET BEHIND SOMETHING!!!” I yelled as their gattling guns began to rotate. (“I can’t stop THOSE bullets!”) I thought as I phased into the ground just as the bullets began to impact where I had just been.

     I looked up and saw several Pokemon’s green silhouettes fade away as they were hit. (“NOOOO!!!”) I telepathically screamed. I had to do something. I phased up out of the ground and glared at the gunships. Their missile racks extended down and they prepared to fire.

     “You made a mistake coming here…” I said as they fired two missiles at me. I didn’t move, instead I concentrated entirely on stopping the missiles with telekinesis. I reached forwards with my hands and the missiles stopped in midair. I stared at the gunships, I could see the look of shock on the two pilot’s faces. “You chose the wrong job…” I said.

     I smiled as I slowly turned the missiles around and released them.

     One of the gunships dodged it’s missile. The other one didn’t. “One down, one to go!” I said triumphantly. The gunship knew that it was doomed against an army of Pokemon this size so it turned tail and ran.

     “It’s getting away!” One of the Pokemon yelled. Everyone looked at me. I suddenly felt as if they trusted me, and it gave me new energy to fight.

     “I’ll be back.” I said as I took off, headed for the escaping gunship. I folded back my wings and streamlined my body and flew as fast as I could. I was probably going about 320 mph at this point. I knew I had to be quick, cause if the gunship got too far away, the electric types wouldn’t be able to scramble the gunship’s radio.

     I soon reached the gunship and blew past it. (It takes a little space to stop moving.) It stopped and responded to my presence by rotating it’s gattling gun.

     I dodged just as the bullets shot past me. Once again I felt that all too familiar pulsing from the guns. I flew back around behind it and telekinetically drew my Lasyr blades. The gunship spun around and the pilot stared at the Lasyr blades levitating right in front of him.

     I grinned and swung my hands towards the gunship. The telekinetically controlled Lasyr blades responded by slashing through the gunship’s jet engine mounts. The pilot yelled something at me as the now no longer flying gunship fell into the ocean along with it’s severed engines.

     Wanting to make sure that if the pilot survived that he wouldn’t be able to tell the P.A.O. what happened or where we were hiding. I launched the Lasyr blades down into the ocean after the gunship. They pierced the hull and it made a wonderful underwater explosion.

     I drew the Lasyr blades back to me and put them in their sheath. “Mission accomplished.” I said. I started to fly away but then a thought hit me. (“What if they don’t believe me?”) I promptly dove down into the water and grabbed one of the severed engines. I then headed back towards the Pokemon resistance. Chuckling as I imagined their expression when they saw the engine.

     I suddenly had another thought. “Why not make my reentrance more dramatic?” I laughed as I once again dove into the ocean.

     Cholek watched the horizon. “Was it really a good idea to let him go?” He said to himself. “What if it was a ploy to escape? What if he didn’t really care about us?”

     “I think we were wrong about him.” One of the Pokemon said. “He saved several of us and actually put an end to the battle very quickly.”

     “Is that so?” Everyone spun around to see Mewtwo fly over. “He escaped didn’t he?” He said, anger obviously present in his voice. “He escaped and now he’s going to head back to the P.A.O. Our cause is now lost!”

     “OH SHUT UP!!!” Latias yelled as she flew over. “Lateon is NOT that kind of person! He truly wants to be accepted here. And the only reason that he would ever join the P.A.O. WHICH HE WOULDN’T!! Is because ALL OF YOU HAVE BASICALLY SPIT IN HIS FACE AND REJECTED HIM!!”

     Latias was ticked. VERY ticked, and she was going to let everyone know it.

     “LATEON HAS FOUND NO LOVE HERE BESIDES ME AND MY FRIEND ALLIE! AND IF I HAD KNOWN THAT YOU ALL WOULD MAKE HIS LIFE SO MISERABLE, THEN I WOULD HAVE WILLINGLY RATHER HID IN PLAIN SIGHT OF THE P.A.O. RATHER THAN SUBJECT HIM TO ALL OF YOUR HATRED!!”

     Everybody stood stunned, absolutely speechless staring at Latias. She was steaming mad. And she looked it too.

     “Bravo Latias!” I telepathically said. Everyone jumped and looked around. I phased up out of the ground with the severed gunship engine.

     “WHAT?!” Mewtwo exclaimed as he looked at the engine. I threw it on the ground. “THERE! There is the proof you need!” I said. “What more do you require of my life for you to FINALLY trust me?!”

     Latias shot over to me and gave me huge hug, kissing me all over my face. “Oooh! I was so worried about you!” She said as I gasped for air. “Urk! Latias… Air…” I gasped. “Oh! Sorry!” She blushed as she let go.

     Mewtwo stared at the engine still. YOU did this?!” He asked. “No, it just fell apart and I picked up one of the engines.” I said sarcastically. “OF COURSE I DID IT! Who else was there to do it?! I stopped the fighting! I came up with the plan for stopping the fighting! I destroyed the two gunships that appeared! I must give substantial credit to Cholek though, he was definitely a big help with the plan.”

     Cholek stepped forwards. “He’s right. The whole plan that stopped the fighting WAS Lateon’s idea. He also destroyed the gunships. Had YOU been here, you would have known that!” Everybody stared at Mewtwo.

     He looked uneasy. “The whole reason that I couldn’t get here earlier was because Lateon somehow screwed up the escape tunnel door when he phased through it!” The Rhyperior guards stepped forwards. “We can attest to that as well. We had to bypass everything just to get them open.”

     Now everyone was just confused. “Ok, ok. I don’t want to start an internal war between all of you.” I said. “I just wanted to prove that I’m trustworthy.” Mewtwo looked at me. “And you were right Lateon.” He said. “I DID want to trust you. I was just afraid that when you had run off that you were actually a traitor. I prayed that it wasn’t true. And I’m glad that it wasn’t.”

     Everyone had started loosening up again. “I have never been so glad to be proven wrong. And I have you to thank for that Lateon.” Mewtwo said. “But I believe that everyone should see the trust ceremony. It shall be held in the meeting hall.”

     “I’m not going until the injured have been taken care of.” I said. “A very good idea. Let us hurry!” Mewtwo said as all the Pokemon began to carry the injured back into the tunnel.

     I brought many of them in myself by holding them and simply phasing through the walls to the medical facilities. But unfortunately there were some that didn’t make it. We sadly prepared them for burial, and added their memorial ceremony to the plans for the trust ceremony.

     Mewtwo and Lucano were responsible for the planning of the ceremony. So Latias and I headed back to our rooms. (though we always seemed to go to mine/previously Latios’ room.)

     As soon as we had entered the room I was tackled by Latias. “Oof! Geez! What is it?!” I said as I attempted to pry her off my back. “I’m just glad you’re safe Lateon!” She grinned as she shifted away from my probing hands. I grinned and lifted her off of me with telekiesis.

     “WHA?! HEY! NO FAIR!” She helplessly yelled at me. “So this is the back-leeching parasite?” I said as I smiled at her. She just glared at me. “It’s pretty darn cute if you ask me!” I said as I smiled bigger.

     Her expression instantly changed to blushing. “Ohh, cut it out you big lug!” She said as she tried, but failed to hide a smile. “Let me go and I’ll really show you a parasite!” She now had an evil grin.

     “Perhaps I shouldn’t let it go then.” I said. “Maybe I should just trap it in a cage to look at!” Her eyes got big. “You wouldn’t DARE!!” She said. “I’m just kidding!” I said as I let her go, immediately dodging her charge towards me. “I’m gonna get you for that!” She yelled at me as she chased me down the hallways.

     We arrived in the eating chamber and laughed and giggled as we flew around each other. We wore ourselves out doing that, so we found a nice niche at the top of the room and sat there, catching our breath.

     “I would’ve tagged you had you not been phasing in and out of that cursed stalactite…” Latias said. “Oh yeah… Well who kept trying to stop me with Psychic?…” I replied as she grinned.

     “The ceremony should be starting here pretty soon.” I said. “Yep! I’m so glad you finally gained their trust Lateon.” Latias replied. “It was too long coming wasn’t it?” I asked her. “You can say that again! I was worried there for a second there that they were going to kill you in the night!” Latias told me.

     “Is THAT why you stayed in my room the first night…” I looked at her suspiciously. She just blushed and looked away. “If they were going to get to you, then they would have to get through ME first.” Latias said as she looked at me with that loving look again. I felt little twitches in my heart when she looked at me like that.

     “Thank you Latias.” I said as I reached over and hugged her. “You are by far the best friend that I’ve ever had!” Tears began to well up in her eyes. “And the same to you Brad…” She said as she hugged back. I could tell that she meant to say “Brad” instead of Lateon.

     “You know something Lateon?” She asked me. “Know what?” I replied. “I don’t have to choose between Latios and you anymore!” She gave me a mischievous look. “Good point…” I said. I was promptly tackled by her again. “I CHOOSE YOU LATEON!” She giggled. I had to laugh. That was what the Pokemon trainers off of the Pokemon shows and games always said.

     “All Pokemon report to the meeting hall! I repeat, all Pokemon report to the meeting hall!” Mewtwo’s voice came over the intercom.

     Looks like it’s time to go!” I said as I got up and flew off towards the meeting hall. Latias followed, making lazy loops in the air behind me.

     We headed through the hallways and flew over all sorts of Pokemon. “Wow! There looks like there’s even more Pokemon when they’re in the hallways! They’re completely filled!” I telepathed to Latias.

     “Yeah, we need to expand the hideout.” Latias said. “But we don’t want to possibly weaken the ground to the point where it all collapses on us.” I looked around. “Yeah. That, would be a bummer.”

     We arrived at the meeting hall, and flew to our usual spot. Somewhere in the air.

     Mewtwo stepped up onto the platform. “Welcome.” He said. “I would like to thank you all for coming, this is a very important meeting. Today we will be welcoming Lateon as a trusted Pokemon among us.”

     Several Pokemon spoke up. “He’s a HUMAN! REMEMBER?!” They yelled as they pointed to me. “Looks like some still have their grudges.” I said to Latias.

     “He WAS, a human.” Mewtwo corrected them. “He has proved himself worthy of our trust. He risked his life saving several Pokemon in the battle today, and put a stop to the fighting very quickly.” The angry Pokemon spoke up again, just a little more uneasy this time.

     “Well, how would YOU know?” They asked. “Because of eyewitness accounts, and this.” Mewtwo replied as he telekinetically brought the severed engine in and set it on the platform. “Lateon destroyed TWO P.A.O. gunships single-handedly. He came up with the plan for stopping the battle, and the Pokemon that he saved asked me to thank him. So if you would come down Lateon. I do believe we owe you a proper greeting and apology.”

     I flew down to the platform and Mewtwo greeted me. “We should have done this the day you arrived…” He began to say, but I interrupted him. “Before I accept anything, I wish to extend my heartfelt sorrow for all those who lost their lives in battle today.” I said. Mewtwo saw what I was doing and just let me continue.

     “I was there, and I saved several Pokemon.” I said. “But there were some that I could not reach in time. And for that, I apologize.” The room was silent, including the Pokemon that had just been yelling.

     “And before I accept ANYTHING. I want them to be honored first. I cannot accept anything. I was not one of the Pokemon that died fighting for their family and freedom.” I hovered back. “Do the memorials first Mewtwo.” I said. He nodded to me and smiled. “Very well.” He replied.

     “It seems that Lateon has changed the plans.” Mewtwo said to the crowd. “We shall remember the fallen first.”

     We headed to the burial cavern, it was basically their underground cemetery. We all bowed our heads as the fallen were brought through. It was eerily quiet except for the sound of the pallbearers footsteps and Mewtwo’s voice.

     He called off the names of each one that was brought by, and said a comforting word for all those who were related. I was brought to tears as I listened to the muffled mourning from those who knew the fallen Pokemon. But I wasn’t near as shaken as Latias. I had to hug and whisper the song I made to her throughout the entire ceremony.

     After what seemed like an eternity, it was finally over. We filed out of the cavern and headed back to the meeting hall. It felt good to be out of that particular room.

     “Are you okay Latias?” I asked her. “(sniff) Yeah… I-I’m fine…” She responded sadly. “Maybe the welcome ceremony will cheer you up!” I said reassuringly. Latias looked up at me and smiled weakly.

     “Thank you for trying to cheer me up.” She said. “I haven’t succeeded if you aren’t cheered up Latias.” I said as I hugged her. She just went limp as I carried her to the meeting hall. I could tell that she had plenty of energy to fly herself there. But I could also tell that she enjoyed having me hold her even more.

     We arrived in the meeting hall and took our previous places before I had changed the plans. Mewtwo once again began the welcoming ceremony.

     “I think perhaps it was a better idea to have the memorial ceremony first.” He said. “To end our entire ceremony on such a depressing note would definitely have been devastating to morale.” Everyone nodded. “Then let us begin the welcoming ceremony.” He said as he motioned for me to come up.

     “I believe that we owe Lateon a great apology.” Mewtwo said. “He risked his life for us in the battle today, saving many Pokemon’s lives and stopping the P.A.O. from alerting the rest to our hideaway. Not to mention he saved our beloved Latias.”

     I looked over at Latias and saw her blushing. I smiled and motioned for her to join me. She flew over and I hugged her. “Everybody’s staring at us Lateon!” She said to me. “And since when did you start caring about whether people saw us like this or not?” I asked her as she blushed even more.

     Mewtwo smiled and continued. “It seems that our ‘beloved Latias’ has also become a bit more ‘beloved’ to someone else.” Now it was my turn to blush. “All right Mewtwo…” I glared at him. “Just continue with the ceremony will you?” The room chuckled a bit as Mewtwo continued.

     “I believe we ALL owe Lateon an apology for the way we’ve treated him. The fact that he endured it without lashing back is an accomplishment indeed.” Mewtwo said as he faced me. “You have proven yourself worthy of my trust. You are now free to come and go as you wish. And on behalf of all the Pokemon here, I apologize for how we made your life miserable.”

     I just sat there, speechless. All the Pokemon in the room stood up and applauded. I looked around. I was overwhelmed with the response. It was such a shock to have them accept me in such a way so soon after hating my guts.

     Tears started welling up in my eyes. “Lateon? Are you okay?” Latias asked as she looked up at me. “Ohh… Lateon need a hug!” She smiled as she hugged me. “I told you that they’d warm up to you! I told you!” She whispered in my ear.

     “Y-Yes you did…” I responded. “Yes you did.” The Pokemon sat back down and Mewtwo resumed his speech. “I would be honored to have you as a part of the Pokemon Resistance Lateon.” He said.

     “I would be honored to be a part of it as well Mewtwo.” I replied. “I accept your invitation.” The room went wild, making Latias jump a little. “Wow!” She exclaimed. “Talk about a turnaround!” I said. “Now they act like they love me!” She smiled. “What makes you think that they’re acting?” She asked.

     Latias and I headed back to our rooms. And as we flew through the hallways Pokemon waved to us. They waved to me! I was overjoyed. “Latias! I’m pumped! I never realized just how much their rejection was affecting me!”

     Latias looked back at me. “You got that right!” She said as we flew into my room. “And I got my Lateon back!” She said as she began to nuzzle me. I blushed, but just started nuzzling back. “I’m glad to be back Latias!” I said.

     We just sat there talking about all the things we could do now that I was free to roam again. But we fell asleep before we could even plan anything.
