## Coverage

In Crippling Gambling Addiction,  Latios is first seen with Latias and when he learns Ibuki is on a different team from him, he quickly dismisses her off, much to the dismay of Latias. Later when him and Latias come across James, Simon and Wigglytuff, he seems to recognize James's uniform, and tells Latias to kepe her guard up. When James is seen excited about the two's inclusion on the team, Latias tries to get him to try and have fun,, which he says he'll try to.

When team names are being chosen, Latios initially is against every name, he eventually agrees on The Toxic Crushers. He's then the first contestant to use the confessional, commenting on how he didn't even sign up for this himself. Then during the challenge, he demonstrates catching a ball and blocking with a ball.

In the challenge, Latios ends up putting in most of the work for his team, as he ends up getting many contestants on the other team out by both catching and throwing, as well as pulling Latias out of the way, saving her from getting out. He doesn't slack in the second round either, being one of two members of the team left as he gets his team the win. In the first round against The Cool Deluxe, he keeps up the pace and Callie catches onto his performance and tries to target him, but Simon intercepts the attempt. Ibuki then gets him out, but her team shortly loses after. In the second round, Latios immediately gets Ibuki out but later in the ground, he gets out trying to protect Simon. When Latias starts to get mad at Simon, Latios tries to break it up. However, the team had already lost. In the last round, Izzy immediately gets Latios out before he can do anything. Despite this, his team gets the win.

In Party 'Till You Drop!, Latios gets scared by Latias offering him a Pokeblock. When telling her she didn't need to do that, she offers it again. His stomach growls and he silently takes the Pokeblock and starts eating it. Whenever Latias starts to mention bringing the other teams to the VIP area, Latios tells her not to say it, but she ends up saying it anyway. Later when Latias says that she could get fireworks from the VIP area, Latios immediately rejects the idea. Latios ends up doing heavy lifting for the party, and whenever he comes with a disco ball he asks if it's necessary, which he is told it is. Latios asks Latias if she knows what she's doing with the disco ball, and whenever it's shown she tied it too loosely, Latios immediately flies up to catch it before it hits Latias in the head. When the party starts, he immediately falls asleep beside Latias.

In the first part of The Good Ol' Switcheroo, he is first sitting with Noah in the VIP room, and whenever Noah asks why he's not worrying about his sister, he says that would just make his head hurt even more. When asked about his head, he mentions that he doesn't know what happened, saying that he should've known something would've happened when he was randomly brought to the competition. Noah asks him about being "randomly brought", and he mentions that he believes Latias signed them both up, not wanting to leave him up. Whenever Noah mentions the two are in the same situation, Latios immediately says that it must've been because of the sarcastic comments of his, which Noah doesn't hear. He acts like he said nothing when asked what he said. He reveals in a confessional he doesn't think Noah is all bad, despite wanting to punch him in the face a few times. Noah then tells him to watch out for Simon, which he says he will. Whenever Latias comes up to him mentioning that he's spending time away from her, he says that his life doesn't completely revolve around her. Whenever Latios feels pain in his head again, Latias asks what's wrong and he explains his headache, which Latias tries to brush off and asks him if he wants to check out the shop, which he agrees to. Whenever the two see Lugia, Latios is immediately skeptical. However, Latias drags him over to the shop anyway. Whenever Latias fangirls over Lugia, he asks to move on from it, which Lugia agrees to and asks the two if they can bring their teammates over. Whenever Latias agrees and leaves, Lugia asks Latios about the fact that she is a fan of Lugia's and the fact that she looks up to them. Lugia then says that she needs a better role model which Latios agrees to, and even mentions that they're one of the worst options, not realizing he's saying it out loud despite Lugia agreeing. He then threatens Lugia saying that if they hurt Latias in any way, he will make sure to kill them in any painful way. However, his team comes back to this and he stutters on his words before Lugia lies and says that they said something to offend him and know what they said it wrong, which Latios goes along with. After Lugia explains the shop, Latios tells Latias that he needs a few minutes, which she lets him have and she leaves. He then asks Lugia why they covered up for him, and they don't give a clear answer, simply saying to not think about it. He reluctantly agrees to and then buys a TM for Dragon Claw and leaves.

During the vote reveal, Latios is revealed to have gotten two votes which he says nothing about. Later, Latios points out Gelatin avoiding the questions given, which he admits he is doing.

After the vote reveal, when Latios is asked to look at his card Latias asks him to confirm that they checked their teams first things, which he confirms. Latias then realizes she never saw his card, and he snaps back saying that doesn't matter. When he's asked to show his card, it's revealed that his team was actually The Cool Deluxe which he objects to. Whenever Izzy goes to her new team, Latios snaps at her, saying that she's the reason it happened. She then throws him over to his new team, and he avoids contact with them, saying no immediately when Patrick tries to speak to him. Latios immediately asks if he can switch back, which BFDI Rocky denies.

In the challenge, he's woken up by Nora slapping him, which worsens his headache. Whenever the situation and challenge is explained to him, he immediately opts to leave and go his own way, much to the rest of the team's dismay. He leaves while the girls are the distracted

In the second part, Latios is first seen inside the bar Marie leads Callie and Ibuki to, both of which are surprised to see him. Marie tells him they're closing, but then lets him stay after Callie and Ibuki explain he's with them. Latios himself seems confused at this before Marie mentions they're related, and Callie asks him what he was doing and he claims it to be not important and Callie and Ibuki argue that it was, and he then asks what they're here for now and Ibuki explains Callie's injured leg. Later when Daisy is dragged in, he simply talk to himself about how it's weird drinking water from an actual cup and is then kept in check by Ibuki to make sure he comes with the group. Whenever he and the others are reunited with the rest of the team, he ends up taking the coat from Carl and Patrick's things. As the group goes, he notices Latias and Noah and immediately tells his team to stop. He immediately rush to the unconscious Latias' side and snaps at Noah, threatening him. Noah is unphased and explains what actually happened, causing Latios to somewhat calm down. He feels Latias' cold body and notices that she's still cold, but won't die. He quickly sets up a campfire and puts Latias near it. Whenever his team tries to move on, he refuses to leave Latias' side but Noah is able to convince him to let them be.

The team enters the snowy tundra, and Latios immediately puts on the coat, noting it's cold but will do. The team hears an explosion, and he tries to get them to ignore it but they end up going anyway, forcing Latios to go along. He doesn't get involved in the fight with the Toxic Crushers at all and ends up not blasting off. He ends up reluctantly working with his former team until he finds his current team. Izzy ends up leading the group to her shelter shortly and Latios ends up sleeping in the corner. Come morning when Ibuki gets him up, he's half awake and his face is red. He then admits in a confessional that it had been forever since he went a night without Latias. Whenever Google tries to point out his lack of sleep, he immediately shuts them up, covering it up with that they're wasting time. Whenever the avalanche starts coming, Ibuki jumps onto him and whenever he asks what she's doing, she says that she's saving herself. Daisy and Marie also hop onto him and he ends up flying over to where the group head Nora. He's then reunited with the team and starts going up the mountain.

When his team is going up the mountain, Marie comments on the view and Latios says that it could be better and when his teammates start talking about how they liked the challenge, he makes a private confessional about his thoughts. Whenever his team goes into the cave and Callie gets knocked to a wall, Latios immediately recognizes it as an Infernape. He then translates that the Infernape wants a one on one battle, and that it'll also say where the treasure is if they comply. Daisy asks how Latios was able to tell what Infernape was saying and he says that he's also a Pokemon, confusing Daisy further until he specifies that not all Pokemon can talk. After Nora is beaten, Marie points out that Latios is the obvious answer and he rejects and Daisy teases him saying that he must've not actually gotten enough sleep, and he almost snaps at her but says to just let Ibuki do it. After Ibuki's beaten, Daisy and Marie try to get him to battle again, in which he admits he doesn't even know how he feels as of now. Daisy asks if he just wants to see Latias again, which he somewhat affirms. Marie then mentions that if he's uncooperative, he'll be voted out, which convinces him to try. He's then able to beat Infernape and is told that the treasure is at the top, and says it was a good battle. Latios then, in a close race, flies to the top of the mountain, winning for his team. When Marie asks him if the view now is acceptable, he says that it is. And as he's about to thank Marie for her words, he gets teleported to back to the casino. However, it's revealed that Marie also came.
