Chapter 25

I feel pretty accomplished guys! I got Lunala and Cosmog now! I can't say any more than that cause I don't want to spoil any of you all still doing Ultra Sun or Moon. Anyways, here's another update.

        "Hey Brendan! You got a visitor!" May yelled from upstairs in Brendan's room as the doorbell rang.

        "I know, May! I'm right here next to the door!" he shouted back. When he opened the door he was suprised to see a boy around nine standing at his door.

        "Uh hi. I saw you moving your stuff so I came to help out. That is if you don't mind," the boy said.

        "Sure but can I at least ask who you are?" Brendan said. The boy seemed to freak out a bit and said, "You don't recognize me?" Brendan just shook his head. Then he heard May coming down the stairs.

      "Who is it? Oh...Latios? You're a...a kid," she said. Latios nodded.

        "Oh my goodness! Latios?! It's actually you! What made you turn human?" Brendan said as he let the boy in.

         "I almost forgot what it was like to be in this form. Also Jirachi dared me to be human for a year so here I am. A eight year old boy. It's embarrassing," he said as he walked in sulking.

      So he looked like an eight year old. Brendan felt that he was close enough by guessing nine. He was also quite sure that Latios was actually much older than that considering that he was a legendary pokémon long before he was an eight year old.

      "We were just moving Brendan's stuff to my house. You can help if you'd like. Brendan won't mind, right?" May said smiling as she turned to Brendan who nodded in response. Latios got to work and helped Brendan and May transport Brendan's stuff to May's house which took about three hours with the help of May and Brendan's pokémon as well.

      They had gotten to the house that Brendan would be leaving and cleaned a little more before turning out all the lights and locking the doors.

        "Goodbye old house," Brendan said as he walked away with May and Latios.

       "Should we stop by my dad's lab and tell him that we've finished moving all of my stuff?" Brendan asked May. She shook her head.

      "It wouldn't make any difference anyway. Besides, Latios is with us and we wouldn't want him getting caught up in tests or research or something," May said. Brendan sighed.

       "Yeah I forgot about that. We should just head over to your house," Brendan said. He had tried not to give up on his father's research addiction but it had already gone too far. It got especially worse after his mom had died. Brendan watched as Latios ran ahead to chase after a Beautifly.

       "Hey, Latios!  Don't go too far ahead okay!" May shouted after him. Brendan laughed.

      "You sound like a mother," he said. It was meant as a mere joke.

      "So what if I do? For a eight year old pokémon boy, he sure does act a lot younger than he really is. His human form is an eight year old but he is way older than that right?" May said. Brendan nodded.

        "At least he isn't as childish as Jirachi was. Then we'd be in trouble," Brendan said with a slight laugh. May slipped her hand into his.

        "You really are funny sometimes," she said. "I thought I was always funny," he said which made her laugh. Their happy moment was interrupted by the sound of Latio's eight year old voice yelling,

        "Hey, I said put me down!!" Alarmed, the two of them ran towards the sound of Latios' voice only to see him being carried by Brendan's father. He had Latios across his back like someone would carry a bag.

        "Brendan! May! Get me down!" Latios said as he saw them come into view. Brendan's father turned around just in time to see them come to a hault in front of him.

       "Oh so you know my son and his friend," Professor Birch said. The whole scene was simply suspicious.

        "Dad, what do you think you're doing?" Brendan said.

        "Oh, I was just taking this lost child to my lab. He wants to call his parents so they can come and get him," Birch said with a smile although he was obviously lying.

        "No! Put me down!" Latios said. It was clear that Latios was being kidnapped.

        "He isn't lost. He was with us and he got ahead of us. What are you doing over here anyway," May said, a frown now apparent on her face as she glared at the professor.

      "I was actually on my way to visit you two when this little guy bumped into me but you say that you know him? What's his name? He absolutely refused to tell me when I asked him. I just wanted to get him home," Birch said. He was trying to trap them and it was working because May was silent but then Brendan saved them.

      "His name is Ryuu. We found him on our way home. He likes dragon type pokémon and told us that he was lost. We were going to find his parents once we got to May's house," Brendan said quite confidently.

        "Professor can you put me down now?" Latios asked. He had gotten teary eyed and wanted to go back to May and Brendan.

      "Why of course Ryuu. I do hope you find your parents," Birch said as he placed Latios on the ground. Latios immediately ran to May and hid behind her.

        "Well, I will see you later son. It's time I return to the lab. This stuff won't research itself you know," the professor said as he made his way back to his lab.

      Once they were sure that he was gone, May told Latios that she would carry him the rest of the way to her house. He didn't protest the piggyback ride as May said, "We can't have you getting into anymore trouble." Brendan was still worried about what had happened while Latios was with his father. The professor had looked at Latios with the same glint in his eye that he had while researching for hours.

      "Latios, what did you say to my father?" Brendan asked. He had to make sure Latios didn't tell him anything about being a pokémon.

        "Hm? What do you mean?" Latios said. The poor pokémon didn't know that his father was dangerous for him to be around.

        "Professor Birch. What did he ask you and what did you tell him?" Brendan asked. His voiced raised a little but he didn't notice because he was focused on what had happened.

      "I um...I accidentally ran into him and he asked me if I was lost. I told him no bit then be asked where I jad gotten my oitfit from. He said it reminsed him of me. He said Latios. I didn't answer him so he asked me again if I was lost and I told him no again. He asked me what my name was but I didn't tell him."

      "Then he said that I was lost and I needed to be found and he picked me up and was about to take me away. I told him to put me down but he didn't. Then you and May showed up....thank you. For saving me. I don't know what happened but for some reason, I didn't run. It might have something to do with that thing that Latias told me," Latios said.

      He had a few tears streaming down his face but he seemed calm and collected.

       "What was it? The thing that Latias told you?" Brendan asked hoping that Latios knew.

        "She said that my mindset would change and I would forget some things until I turned back into a pokémon. She said it was the same thing that happened to Jirachi. The reason that Jirachi is the way she is. Childish was the word she used," Latios said. He seemed to be unsure even as he spoke which meant that the thing Latias told him was already happening.

        "Latios, it isn't safe for you to stay human like this. Jirachi has experience but you don't. Do you even have a place to stay?" May said.

      Latios only shook his head and said, "Even if I wanted to change back, I can't. Jirachi used some kind of stuff on me that's preventing me from changing back. It's supposed to last only a year so I think I will be okay until then," Latios said with a small smile. Brendan knew that this wasn't true. Latios couldn't go on like he was now. Not without any help.

      "Why don't you stay with us? We can help you out until you're able to change back again. How's that sound," Brendan offered. Latios only stared at him for a bit.

         "That sounds nice. I think I will do that!" Latios finally said. The boy rested his head onto May's shoulder and by the time they got home, Latios was already alseep in the little amount of time it had taken to get there.
