The resurrection of Latios
XD-385 stood outside the door to the hotel room that he and his friends were using. He had discovered that his master is in love with his big sister. What would he tell May? She was also in love with Ash. If she knew that Ash was in love with someone else who isn't even human..... Neo shuddered at the thought of what she might do.
When he stepped inside, May asked, "Where's Ash?" Neo replied, "He's staying at a friends' home tonight." May sighed, "That's good to know. Knowing Ash, I'm sure he has a lot of friends all over the place!" "Yeah..." Neo asked, "Um, I'm only asking out of curiosity, but what made you fall in love with Ash?" May blushed and took a seat. "I'll tell you, but don't tell Ash. I don't know what it is exactly what draws me to him, but I just could not help but like him. And those eyes, I can just get lost in them. It was only after we got into a fight and apologized to each other that I realized how much he meant to me. *Sigh* What I would give for him to make..... huh?" May finally noticed that Neo had nodded off from listening to her confession.
May shouted, "HEY! Aren't you listening?!" Neo let out a snicker, "Don't get mad, I was listening the whole time!" May gave him a grumpy look. He added, "I don't think I want to know how you were going to finish that sentence, anyway." May yelled, "What is that supposed to mean?!" Neo replied, "I mean you better watch what you say when Brock and your little brother are in the next room!" May covered her mouth out of embarrassment, realizing that she nearly blurted out her deepest, most sacred desire. Neo jumped out the window after turning invisible. May shouted, "Where are you going?!" Neo shouted back, "I'm just going to check on Ash!"
When Neo got back to the secret garden, he saw that the sun was setting. Also, Ash and Latias were still where he left them. They had fallen asleep. Not wanting them to catch cold by sleeping outdoors, Neo decided to wake them up in the least harmful way he could think of. He noticed a large pond nearby. He then used Surf to cause a huge wave of water to crash down on the two lovers!
They woke up instantly. Latias nearly panicked to see a total stranger in the garden. "W-Who are you?!" Ash calmed her down by saying, "Don't worry, he's just my guardian. He won't hurt you unless you try to hurt me." Latias could sense immense power in this person, she could even sense..... her brother?! "Is that you brother?!" Neo replied, "Yes, but not the one you're thinking of. I'm your little brother and, errrrr, sister." Ash and Latias looked at him as if they had just smelled feet. "OK, let me explain. You see, I was created with the DNA of 385 species of Pokemon. The one my creators acquired Latias DNA from was you. The same goes for your brother. So you see, I'm both your brother and sister." This cleared things up for Ash, but not Latias. Neo spent several more minutes explaining what he was and why he was created.
Latias asked Ash, "Do you really trust him? After what he almost did, aren't you afraid of him?" Ash shook his head, "No. I don't judge people for what they can do. He has been loyal to me and only me since I named him." Neo added, "That's why I like you so much!" They all shared a good laugh before heading to Latias' house, which she shared with Bianca and her Grandpa.
When they got there, Bianca marveled at how much better Latias looked and was very surprised to see Ash and his guardian with her. After some introductions, they all settled down for dinner. Bianca spoke first, "So, Neo, what's it like being a bioweapon?" He replied, "I'm not sure. I've yet to feel any pain from attacks. However, I share a weakness with all other Pokemon. It is the only move type that can kill me." Everyone stared at him. Latias asked, "What is this type?" Neo replied, "I don't want to say this too loudly, but my one true weakness is Shadow type attacks." Ash was stumped, "I've never heard of that type of Pokemon before." Neo looked him in the eye and said, "There is no Shadow type Pokemon, but there are Shadow type attacks. I don't know much about it, but I do know that Shadow energy, which is used in Shadow attacks, can be manufactured into weapon ammunition." Bianca muttered, "Wow. Sounds dangerous."
After dinner, Ash and Latias went up to the roof for some time alone. Ash spoke first, "Would you look at that sunset." Latias replied, "It just isn't that good when you're alone." They stared at the sunset silently for a minute. Ash then asked, "So Latias, would you like to come with me when we leave?" Latias then seemed to almost start crying again. "Please stop that. If you keep crying, you'll burn out your eyes." Latias replied, "I'm sorry. I just can't leave. I have to protect the Soul Dew since my brother is gone and I can't take it with me."
"You can't leave because big bro is dead? Why didn't you say so?" They looked behind them and saw Neo standing on the very top of the roof. "Yes, he is. I have to take his place." Neo then asked, "Why don't you just have me resurrect him?" They both stared at him in disbelief. "YOU CAN WHAT?!" Neo laughed out loud. "Have you forgotten who I am?" Ash thought for a moment. "That's right. I have the powers of Jirachi, the Wish Maker! Any wish of yours is mine to grant." Latias yelled, "YOU CAN REALLY DO THAT?!" Neo winched, "Yes. Now stop yelling." Ash added, "But doesn't it take 1,000 years for him to grant a wish?" Neo answered, "Not if you throw in a little time travel. I am part Celebi, you know." Latias squealed in joy as she embraced Ash and kissed him, much to their surprise.
Back at the hotel, May was look out from the balcony with binoculars. Max asked, "What are you looking for?" May replied, "I'm just looking at what I couldn't see on the ground.....huh?" May paused as she thought she saw something on a rooftop a good distance away. She adjusted the binoculars to focus more on distant objects and looked again. What she saw next shocked her to her soul. There on a rooftop about 20 blocks away, was Ash being passionately kissed by a Latias! May could feel her blood begin to boil as she watched the boy she loved being seduced by a Pokemon. Ignoring Max, she rushed down to the street and towards the house where Ash was.
Neo shivered at the sudden feeling of rage approaching them. He yelled, "OK guys! We will meet in the secret garden for the resurrection. Latias, you go get the Soul Dew. Master, you come with me." Latias flew off for the Soul Dew while Neo Teleported himself and Ash to the secret garden.
Since she had never been to Altomare before, May soon became lost. (I can't believe this. I know Ash is very attractive, but NO ONE will take him away from me! Although first, I have to find them.) By chance, she stumbled through the hidden entrance to the secret garden. Inside, she became relieved to find Ash and Neo alone.
Neo looked behind him and said, "Oh no, how did she get here?!" May was too out of breath to say anything for a moment. Finally, she said, "All right, where is it?!" Ash looked confused, "What?" "That Pokemon that was smooching you on the roof!" Ash blushed heavily, "You saw that?!" "Yes, I did. Now where is it?!" Ash was pretty angry that May was referring to Latias as an object, but he managed to keep a straight face. Before they said anything else, Latias flew in with the precious Soul Dew.
May yelled at Latias, "YOU! You're that Pokemon that was making out with my Ash!" Ash said to himself, (MY Ash? What does she mean by that?!) May reached for all her Pokeballs that contained her Pokemon. "NO ONE will take Ash away from me!" With that, she unleashed all of them on Latias. Combusken, Beautifly, Skitty, and Bulbasaur attacked Latias as directed. Latias was frightened. She had very little combat experience and had no chance of defeating this trainer on her own.
Ash yelled, "Neo, don't let them hurt her!" "Will do!" Neo Teleported in front of Latias and took a deep breath. Just before May's Pokemon reached him, he let out a yell. "FWWWWAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" He sent all her Pokemon flying with a mighty Aeroblast! Latias said to herself, (Wow. So that is what he can do.) May was stunned. Ash had defended this Pokemon from her! Ash asked as politely as possible, "What was that outburst all about?" May's face turned red and tears began falling down her face. "I was jealous. I know I've never told you this, but I love you Ash. When I saw her kissing you on the roof, I became so angry that I couldn't think straight. I just wanted to make sure that she couldn't take you away from me." She then began crying against his chest.
Latias was afraid of this. She wasn't surprised that someone else had fallen in love with Ash. Could Ash be more in love with May than her? Ash said, "I guess I always liked you a lot too. But I want you to understand. Latias is the girl I love." May felt like her heart had been ripped out. "Ash, please. Just this once, please kiss me." Ash looked over at Latias. She gave him a nod. Ash said to May, "OK." He lifted her face until she was looking at him. He then pressed his lips against hers. May felt all her sorrow disappear as she received her first kiss. However, she got carried away and began kissing Ash as passionately as Ash and Latias had done earlier that day. When May finally broke the kiss, she felt much better, as if that one kiss would keep her satisfied for a long time.
May walked over to Latias. "I'm sorry about what I did. I just want you to know how lucky you are that Ash fell for you." Latias replied, "That's all right. I'm just glad that you feel better now." Neo interrupted, "Excuse me, but can we get started?" "Oh, right!" Latias handed him the Soul Dew. He then said, "I'm going to enter a deep hibernation state. When I fall asleep, stick a piece of paper to my face with your wish written on it within the first minute. One minute after I fall asleep, my body will begin to time travel a year every minute, reducing the time to 1,000 minutes. Do not come within one foot of me, or your body will age a year a minute as well. Also, Master, I will not be able to protect you while asleep, so be on guard. Ready?" Everyone nodded. Neo fell asleep and Ash stuck a note to his face with a wish on it stating Latios' revival. With nothing else to do but wait, May gathered her Pokemon and returned to the hotel for the night, while Ash and Latias returned to Bianca's house for the night.
The next day, Ash and his friends decided to pass the time by visiting the main tourist attractions around Altomare. Ash and Latias took an old-fashion Gondola ride through the canals, May and Max checked out the museums, while Brock tried to swoon Bianca and gather supplies for their return trip to the Hoenn region. When there was just 10 minutes left before Neo awoke, everyone came to the secret garden to welcome back Altomare's guardian. When they got close to him, everyone noticed that Neo totally reeked! "I guess he wasn't kidding when he said he was going 1,000 years through time. He's gone a thousand years without a bath!" mentioned Max. Everyone chuckled at this pun. Suddenly, Neo opened his eyes. At that moment, the note on his face began to shine, and then disappeared. The Soul Dew began to glow. A glowing silhouette of a Latios rose out of it and began to solidify. When he stopped glowing, Latios awoke in a daze.
"BROTHER!!!" Latias rushed to Latios and embraced him. "Am I..... alive?" Ash answered, "Yeah, Neo here brought you back." Latios pried himself from Latias and looked behind him. "UH! This human absolutely stinks! When was the last time you bathed?!" Neo thought a moment, "Ummmm, never?" Everyone busted out laughing! It was true. Neo had not been alive that long, but he still had never showered before! He took a whiff of himself, gagged, and jumped into the pond nearby.
Latias said, "Um, brother? He really isn't a human at all." "He's not? What is he, then?" She explained everything to him. Latios said afterwards, "Hmmm, I never thought I would have another brother and sister, ESPECIALLY in one body!" Everyone laughed again. Bianca came over to Latias and said, while holding back tears, "Now you can leave with Ash. Just be sure to visit now and then." Latias hugged her best friend and said, "I promise."
Latios spoke, "What? I will have no such thing!" Ash yelled, "Hey! She can do what she wants with her life! Besides, you're strong enough to protect the Soul Dew on your own, right?! So why can't she leave?!"
Latios replied sternly, "Because I say so. I will not allow my little sister out into the world where countless dangers await!"
When he stepped inside, May asked, "Where's Ash?" Neo replied, "He's staying at a friends' home tonight." May sighed, "That's good to know. Knowing Ash, I'm sure he has a lot of friends all over the place!" "Yeah..." Neo asked, "Um, I'm only asking out of curiosity, but what made you fall in love with Ash?" May blushed and took a seat.

May finally noticed that Neo had nodded off from listening to her confession.
May shouted, "HEY! Aren't you listening?!" Neo let out a snicker, "Don't get mad, I was listening the whole time!" May gave him a grumpy look. He added, "I don't think I want to know how you were going to finish that sentence, anyway." May yelled, "What is that supposed to mean?!" Neo replied, "I mean you better watch what you say when Brock and your little brother are in the next room!" May covered her mouth out of embarrassment, realizing that she nearly blurted out her deepest, most sacred desire. Neo jumped out the window after turning invisible.

This cleared things up for Ash, but not Latias. Neo spent several more minutes explaining what he was and why he was created.
