Ash's Latias

Ash's Latias is a pokemon caught by Ash.

## **History:**

While Team Rocket is lamenting their failure to prepare for the twerp's other Pokemon,they end up colliding with an invisible Pokemon mid-air,sending them flying into the distance and causing the Pokemon to crash down through some tree branches and into a nearby lake. Hearing the sound of the crash-landing,Ash rushes to the site. When the invisible Pokemon's wing turns visible before his eyes,he immediately recognizes the Pokemon as a Latias and swims to her to save her. Though distrustful towards Ash,Latias is too weak to muster her strength to fight back,allowing Ash and Buizel to bring her to land. They soon met with Mirio and his Floatzel. Ash proceeded to heal Latias. The next morning,Ash tries to change Latias' bandages on her wing,but Latias was upset and Team Rocket captured the both of them. Mirio noticed and commanded Floatzel and Buizel to help free them both but it didn't worked. Latias finally broke free with Ash on her arms and that's when Buizel finally learned Wave Crash to save them from the fall. Latias touched Ash's pokeball and entered,capturing her in the process which shocked Ash.

### **With Ash:**

When Ash reunited with Raichu,they fell off a ravine. Fortunately,Latias swoops in just in time to rescue them and bring them back up while being invisible. When all of Team Rocket's pokemon launched devastating combo attack towards Ash and his pokemon,they moved out of the way,forcing Wobbuffet to take the hit instead. He manages to reflect the attack back with Mirror Coat,causing it to strike a nearby tree and obliterate part of its trunk. When the tree falls down,a Slakoth that was resting on it is sent flying,so Ash runs up a rock and jumps high into the air to save it. Ash seemingly floats through the air and being brought back down. Ash realizes Latias was behind this and she reveals herself. Latias then turns to Team Rocket,using Psychic to send them and their Pokemon blasting off. Meanwhile,Ash is thanking Latias for her help,understanding that she was also the source behind the vision he saw. Suddenly,Latias starts showing another vision,this time showing a Latios behind a glass wall in an underground facility. He breaks the glass and the vision moves outdoors,showing a view of the surrounding landscape before the vision cuts off. Latias is looking sad,making Ash wonder what exactly is going on. Following the vision of a Latios shown to them by Latias,Ash and his friends decide to follow her and help Latios out. Suddenly,Latias starts Sight Sharing another vision with them,showing Latios fleeing from a Pokemon hunter riding on a Hydreigon. The vision cuts off when the hunter fires an energy beam at Latios. Latias starts panicking,especially when her desperate attempts to recontact Latios fail. Since it's about to get dark,Shoto suggests they settle down for the night. Ash agrees and calms Latias down by telling her that Latios will be fine. At the group's campsite,they figure that the wounds Ash saw on Latias the first time he met her could've been caused by the hunter and she later escaped with Latios' help. Ash offered some food to Latias but the latter felt unsure. Ash tend to have a bite in order to tell it's fine. Latias accepts and fed on the food by Ash. Later in the night,Latias slept near Ash. In the morning,the group wakes up when Latias receives a telepathic message from Latios. They follow Latias to a cave,where they find Latios,who is distrustful towards them.

Unfortunately,Ash's attempts to convince him to trust him are interrupted when the hunter,having followed them to the cave,attacks. The group and the Eon Pokemon fight back but eventually,Latias is struck by an energy beam from the hunter's device,turning her to stone. Deku advices Ash to destroy the hunter's device to turn the stone Pokemon back to normal. Instructing Latios,Ash has him attack Hydreigon from a close range,freeing Latias from its grasp and getting Raichu close enough to destroy the hunter's energy blaster with Iron Tail,restoring Latias,and Swellow to normal. The desperate hunter charges at the Eon Pokemon on foot,but Latias holds him back just as Officer Jenny shows up to take him into custody. The time comes for the group to say goodbye to Latios and Latias. Despite his wounds not having completely healed yet,Latios,still distrustful towards humans,disregards Ash's concerns about them. Ash asks him to battle together with him some other time as Latios flies away with Latias. After a long flight,Latios and Latias arrive in the city of Alto Mare,flying past Bianca the painter girl and through the Secret Garden,where a girl who looks exactly like Bianca is playing on a swing,before heading off into the distance once more.
