In that old story, just when the island was about to be devoured by that terrible monster, in front of the old man and the old woman, the appearance of the young brother and sister changed everything.
Latios and Latias flew into the air to call for their companions, and they brought the power to drive away the evil away from their home. They then used most of their power to create a gem called the Soul Dew, and peace was restored to the island after that.
And now, without the Soul Dew, the monster that wants to devour the island has appeared once again from the depths of the ocean. The young brother and sister who were here this time, Latias was still very young, and Latios was seriously injured to do anything to stop it from hitting them!
If they have to face this tsunami, one of the most dangerous natural disaster, with such conditions, Latios will definitely not be able to come back alive form it.
"Come back here at once!" Ash's roar was unparalleledly commanding!
He looked up at the two still young siblings, and then at his Suicune and Raikou gathered around him. Raikou wrapped around sparks and jumped to the top of the museum with Ash on top of him. Floating next to them was the worried Latias and the seriously injured Latios.
Looking at the giant incoming tsunami, Ash's eyes began to change color from its usual warm brown to a reddish pink!
His backpack suddenly lit up with a pink and blue light at this exact moment, and the crisp sound of bells mixed with the pleasant sound of waves rang out from the deep sea!
Ash instantly opened his backpack, and he the Tidal Bell given by Lugia was beginning to make sounds, and soon the blue ripples spread from it!
"It's so beautiful!" Misty murmured softly under the tower. For a Water-type Pokémon Trainer like herself, the sound of ocean waves is the most beautiful sound that she can hear.
Ash now showed a gentle smile on his face, and the expressions of both Latios and Latias also softened a bit more.
When facing such a situation, of course the best thing he could is to summon the literal Guardian of the Sea!
"LU!"
Soaring in the sky covered with dark clouds, a roar suddenly came from over the sky, and the silver-white figure rolled in the clouds, coming as fast as possible!
Soon enough, the tsunami will swallow up this whole island and take it back to the bottom of the ocean!
"LUGIA!"
Seeing the emergency, the abandoned buildings not far outside the Alto Mare Island have been torn eaten away by the tsunami. Human buildings are as useful as the humans living inside them in the face of natural disasters, absolutely useless.
Latios and Latias look up to the sky and roared like the dragons they are. They must fight to the most of their capabilities to at least prevent the tsunami from approaching for as much as they can and wait for the arrival of the Guardian of the Sea!
Latios glanced at Ash weakly, and then that looked turned into a very determined one!
He still rushed out with Latias, their bodies now glowing brightly, gradually turned into a ball of light, and rushed directly into the tsunami!
"LUGIA!"
Under such a natural disaster, Ash called out to Lugia loudly!
Lugia, who was churning in the thundercloud, finally came closer and swooped down towards the ball of light formed by the two young siblings!
"ROAR!"
The power of the Guardian exploded, and Lugia also turned into a ball of light. The two balls of light rushed into the tsunami one after another, and finally suppressed the tsunami from coming any closer to them!
The seawater flowed back into the city, then Kabutops and Aerodactyl also turned into beams of light, returned to their place inside of the museum and turned back into fossils, meaning the device also completely stopped.
Zapdos flapped his wings and returned towards his Trainers side. It is accompanied by a much smaller Lugia, Silver, who has finally learned to fly from his mother.
In that ball of light, Latias opened her eyes and saw a pair of loving silver wings spread out in front of her. In the pair of wings, it was her brother who turned all blue!
Latios was already seriously injured. Oakley had gone too far in operating the device just now. It not only consumed all the power of the Soul Dew, but also put a huge burden on Latios's life energy.
Now, it had risked the rest of his very own life energy to stop the tsunami. He has already realized this when he opened his eyes. Even if Ash wanted to stop this, he really couldn't stop it!
Lugia returned to Ash's side with the the weak brother and the crying sister wrapped in a ball of light of her creation. It was the mother Lugia who gave the Tidal Bell to Ash.
Looking at her brother's current appearance, Latias finally seemed to have realized what was coming. She flew over and landed in front of her brother's transparent body, feeling extremely dejected.
"Lugia, is there anything you can do to help him?" Ash blamed himself for this, just what if he stayed with them? Could it be that even after summoning Lugia, Latios still couldn't be saved?
Lugia shook her head, but then turned her attention to something that Ash had with him!
She can only take care of Latios for a while, but she cannot completely save him. Now the only ones who can save Latios are Ash and Latias!
Seeing its gaze, Ash instantly had an idea!
When Celebi was seriously injured, it was the GS Ball that summoned other Celebi's to saved it.
The only ones who can save Latios now are his own companions!
This is also consistent with that old tale. When the monster came, the two siblings restored their true power, called the rest of their companions, and created the Soul Dew!
Since then, Latios and Latias have often visited the island, and Lorenzo and Bianca's family have also followed the instructions of their ancestors and taken care of the secret garden while also taking care of the Latios and Latias who came to visit it occasionally.
"Latias!" Ash suddenly looked at Latias beside him. He took out a Poké Ball, "I don't know if this is going to work, but let's give it a try!"
Although she didn't know what Ash had wanted to do since he suddenly took out a Poké Ball and wanted to catch her, but Latias trusted Ash completely with everything she had and reached out to tap the button of the Poké Ball without any hesitation!
No struggle at all from her side, so he was easily able to catch her successfully!
Latias: 245/255
This is an unprecedentedly high Bond Value from the get go. This may be fate. When Latias saw Ash for the very first time, she meet him in that water racing thing.
Later, when she encounters danger, she sensed that Ash is close to her, and she then instinctively felt safe. When Ash stood in front of her to protect her, she felt that no danger would be able to hurt her.
From the very beginning to finding Ash for help after being in danger, and then to rescuing her older brother, Latias's dependence and trust on Ash, all of this brought the compatibility between Ash and Latias to a very high level!
Immediately afterwards catching her, the Bond Value was only ten points away from being able to perform Bond Evolutions!
BOOM!
A purple and red halo emerges from Latias's body, turning herself into a ball of light again. It undergoes the transition that hinders evolution. In fact, she has completed the first step of Bond Evolutions at this time, but it is still not fully complete yet!
Just waiting for the last ten points of Bond Value to be filled up, and then the light ball will break open. She will become even more beautiful and powerful in her Bond Evolution form!
But it's not needed at this time!
"Latias, Mist Ball!"
Just like Latios's Luster Purge, Mist Ball is Latias' exclusive move!
Latias could feel the power emerging from her body. This was Ash's power mixed with her powers! She roared, and the wings behind it flapped violently, and the jet-like feathers spread out, forming a ball of mist!
"Lets go!"
The Mist Ball was shot into the air, just like a signal bomb when released, and the dense dark clouds were quickly dispersed. Behind the dark clouds, some incredible passage seemed to have opened. Ash don't know when those illusory figures appeared!
Those were clearly Latios's and Latias's. Sensing the changes in Alto Mare, these Eon Pokémon's quickly flew down.
Not just the initial three, but many more were arriving one after another. Soon Ash and Lugia were surrounded by a dozen Eon Pokémon's.
As in the legend, they created a new Soul Dew. Under the power of Soul Dew, Alto Mare finally recovered to its usual glory.
