Ash's Eon Journey!

Decision

Chapter 26

"What is that thing?" David squinted at the bird.

"That's a Honchkrow," said Ash, "but I don't think it should be here..."

"Is that another Pokemon?" asked David.

I nodded. "Do you think there's another portal around here?"

"Well, only one way to find out!" said Ash, "Come on Pikachu!"

David chuckled as we ran after Ash. "Is he always like this?"

"Like what?" I asked.

"I dunno," David shrugged. "one moment he's more mature than most adults and the next he's like an 8-year-old kid,"

"That's just Ash," I grinned. "Pikachu calls him a blockhead a lot,"

"Blockhead... that's a new one," said David, "hold on, you said only Pokemon could understand each other right?"

"Yeah," I nodded.

"Then how can Ash understand Pikachu? Is he a Latios too?" asked David.

"I don't know, but he's not a Latios," I said, "I guess he and Pikachu have just been together so long that Ash can understand him,"

As David and I caught up to Ash and Pikachu, the Honchkrow suddenly swooped down and zoomed past us. I ducked as it made a loud crowing sound.

Ash started running faster to catch up with it, while David and I sprinted as hard as we could. I had almost forgotten how fast Ash could run.

As we rounded a corner I suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Honchkrow, return." Cyrus stepped out from behind a building. He glanced at us, an amused look in his eyes. "I should have guessed you would come,"

"Give it up Cyrus!" yelled Ash, "There's nothing here for you!"

"I agree," said Cyrus, "which is why I am returning. Trying to create a new world was a mistake when I had yet to learn of the other world that this one was linked to. You showed up at a very convenient time. Now I don't have to go through the trouble of making a portal myself,"

"What do you mean?" asked Ash.

"Your Latios is very special," said Cyrus, "don't you realize the potential of a legendary Pokemon who has lived in both worlds? That is the key to creating a new universe!"

"I don't know what you're talking about," I said, "but I'm not going to help you!"

"Don't worry," said Cyrus, "I only need your power, not your cooperation,"

Before I could react, he threw something red and shiny at me. I felt something hit my head as my consciousness faded and I blacked out.

With Latios, Latias, and the Lake Guardians (3rd Person P.O.V.)

Latias' eyes shot open. "Brother! Wake up!"

Latios groaned slightly before opening his eyes. He yawned. "What is it sis?"

"Ash and Michael are in trouble!"

"How do you know?"

Latias hesitated. "I... don't know how, but I just do,"

Latios stretched before levitating off the floor. "Don't worry, I believe you, but there's nothing we can do. We'll just have to hope they'll be alright,"

Latias sighed. "I know, I just don't feel very good about this,"

"I know sis, I don't either," said Latios, "for now though, the best thing we can do is get some rest. We're going to need the energy if we have to fight when they come back,"
