====Red/Blue Rescue Team====
You are awoken by a loud noise. You go outside to investigate, only to get rammed by Latios. The next morning, you go to Town Square where purple Kecleon is raising a fuss. All his TMs were robbed overnight. You go to the dungeon where Latios is keeping the TMs. After you defeat Latios, he comes back with you to return the TMs and to say he's sorry. When you get back to town Latios reveals the battle with you put a lot of damage on him. Purple Kecleon tries to punish him for stealing the TMs. Alakazam stops him and lets Latios explain why he would steal the TMs. Latios explains that he and his younger and beloved sister, Latias, were having a flight one day, when Latias got hit by a meteorite on her wing, and she fell into a giant chasm. Latios explains that he tried to save her, but the dungeon proved to be to much for him. So he stole the TMs to try and get stronger. Purple Kecleon stops being angry and understands why he did what he did, and forgives Latios.
You then go on a mission to rescue Latias, since Latios is still in bad shape and must rest in town. Once you make it through the dungeon, Latias hears your footsteps as you approach. She tells you that her wing still hurts, but she's okay. You and Latias warp back to the town. Latias and Latios, happy to be together again, cross their necks in happiness. Green Kecleon sobs of seeing so much happiness. As thanks, they ask if they can join your team.
===Pokémon Ranger Guardian Signs===
In the game if you choose a female player character (aka Summer), the Pokémon Pinchers will hunt Latias. One of the Guardian Signs is a sign to call Latias. This becomes your transportation for the game, besides Staraptor.

Latias had a large role in Pokémon Heroes. In the movie, Ash and company help Latias to save her brother, Latios, from Team Rocket agents Annie and Oakley. This Latias also took a special liking to Ash, going so far as to give him a kiss at the end while in human form (it is unknown if she or Bianca kissed him). Pokémon Heroes is a Generation II movie.
A different Latias appeared under the ownership of Nurse Joy who used the legendary Pokémon to battle and defeat Forrest's Rhyperior.
Latias, along with Latios, have appeared in the 18th movie and Mega Evolved.
Another different Latias appeared where Ash encountered her after she crash-landed into a lake during his travels. But after saving her from Team Rocket while helping her to recover, she began following him whilst being invisible.

==Trivia==
*Latias and Latios were the first legendary Pokémon to have genders.
*Though not a -type, Latias is able to learn the move Fly, as evidenced by her ability Levitate. She shares this trait with her brother Latios.
*Before it was confirmed that Latias had no Evolutions, many fans believed that Plusle evolved into Latias. This is the same for Latios and Minun.
*Despite having a female gender, Latias cannot breed.
*Latias and Latios' curious, intelligent, and playful natures resemble more of dolphins or whales rather than dragons.
*Even though in the games Latios and Latias can't breed, in Pokémon Heroes, the main Latias and Latios were said to be the offspring of another (deceased) Latios.
**Contrary to what some believe, the two Latios and the lone Latias shown at the end of the movie are not the offspring of the main Latias and Latios, as they are siblings.
*In the movie, Latias has the ability Sight Sharing, an ability that allows Latias and other people and Pokémon to see exactly what her brother Latios is seeing at the time.
*Latios and Latias were the first -type Legendary Pokémon.
*In Super Smash Bros., Latias is one of the Pokémon that can be freed from Poké Balls. During this time, it uses the move Steel Wing.
*Latias (paired with Latios) is one of the collectable spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
===Origin===
Latias is based on jets, dragons, birds, and possibly the concept of yin. Its regular color scheme and jetlike shape may be derived from the Transformers character Jetfire. Mega Latias somewhat resembles an Arwing, the spaceships used by the members of the eponymous paramilitary group in Nintendo's Star Fox series.
===Etymology===
Latias and Ratiasu come from "latere" ("to lie hidden" in Latin). The "as" is added to indicate femininity. It may also involve "lass'", Scottish term for girl or young woman.
