Ash's Eon Journey!

A Trap and a Trick

Chapter 18

I closed my eyes as I flew through the air. It was always nice to fly, especially since I got to be in my Latiform. Ash was riding on Latios to give me a break, so I was free to do a few flips and turns. I didn't know exactly why it felt good, but I always shrugged the feeling off. If it felt good, then it just did.

"Hey! I'm still here you know!" Pikachu's yell made me snap open my eyes.

"Oops, sorry," said Latias.

"It's fine," said Pikachu, "just warn me before you decide to be a roller coaster,"

"It wasn't that bad," said Latias.

"Knowing you sis, it probably was," chuckled Latios.

Latias rolled her eyes. "Come on brother, you know you're just as bad,"

"Does that mean I'm also just as good?" asked Latios.

Latias smirked. "Well, sometimes,"

"Speaking of which," I said, "could you guys teach me how to fly faster?" This was something I had wanted to learn ever since I saw Latias fly off that day, but I hadn't thought about it until now.

"Sure!" said Latias, "If you want to fly faster, just tuck your arms in and..."

Pikachu coughed.

"Maybe you should show him when you don't have passengers sis," said Latios.

"Right," said Latias.

"Sir, we are ready to summon Dialga and Palkia,"

Cyrus nodded. "Very well Mars, everything is secure?"

"Yes sir,"

"Then you may go ahead and begin,"

"What about you sir?"

"I'll catch up," Cyrus smirked, "there are a few things I have to take care of first,"

Cyrus waited until Mars had left the room before walking over the a control panel and pressing a few buttons. As he did, three glass cases opened, revealing Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie. However, all three of them had a red crystal stuck to the gem on their foreheads. Cyrus smirked as the lake guardians struggled in their cages. It was time to take control. With a flick of a lever, the crystals began to glow. As they did, Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie stopped struggling as their eyes began to glow a faint red.

After a short flight, we arrived at Mount Coronet. The mountain was large, the tallest one I had ever seen, though I have to admit I haven't seen many mountains. Instead of having a cone-like structure, however, one side of it was much longer than the other, making it look like several small mountains all side by side with one larger mountain in the middle. At first, I thought we would have to look for Team Galactic's base, but instead, a giant building sticking out of the side of the mountain awaited us.

"I'm just going to take a wild guess and say that's their base," said Pikachu.

"That's strange," said Latias, "wouldn't they at least try to hide it?"

"They might not need to," said Latios, "the fog around here blocks out most of the view, and you wouldn't notice unless you looked carefully,"

We landed a few yards away from the building and Ash dismounted Latios as soon as he did, Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder.

"Should we just go in?" I asked, not really knowing what to do.

Ash shrugged. "I guess," he stopped to think for a moment. "Latios, Latias, Michael, how about you guys turn invisible for now just to be safe,"
