71 Return

Austin's group slept through out the night till noon of the next day. The sun light entered the center through the broken entrance. Austin was the first to get up. To not disturb anyone he slowly tip toed his way towards the entrance.

Too bad he wasn't good at stealth as a purple colored Pokemon opened its eyes once Austin passed.

It followed Austin out of the Pokemon center after it stretched its body.

"Latius...la." The strange Pokemon's voice echoed into Austin's ears.

Austin felt weird again as he felt he sensed what the Pokemon meant. "Good morning to you as well big guy. So is your name Latius or are you a mutated version of latios or latias?" Austin couldn't help but ask. The Pokédex he had mentioned latius as unknown. He truly was curious.

"La..Laatius" Latius responded a little confused. Austin felt it's confusion and understood what it meant. It was telling him it was born from a latios and a Latias. It also mention it wasn't the only with strange color. It had a sibling that had both red and blue colored scales.

Austin was amazed at the intelligence that Latius showed. He also was shocked by how he managed to understand that.

"So what are you gonna do next. Here is the egg you handed me. I'm sure you want to take it with you." Austin said as he pulled out the egg from his spatial pendent.

"Lala, Latius... la Latius la." Latius roar then it levitated began to rise up. It gave Austin one last look and bolted out at full speed.

'ZOOOOOOM!'

Austin smiled as Latius felt that this egg was destined to be his to raise. It said it will bring him good luck. Austin put away the egg. Austin took a walk around the area and reached the center of the village. It was as lily said this piece of land was once part of Eterna city.

Why was Austin sure in front of him was the rubble statues of the creation trio. Behind them was one of arceus. It was on the verge of crumbling apart. Austin placed his palm against it and the statue head fell to the ground. Seeing this Austin felt like he did something wrong.

He did what any other person would do. He acted as it he didn't do anything and began to kick the shattered pieces of arceus's head. He did that while whistling. He suddenly noticed a very bright stone without a speck of impurity.

Austin wanted to jump with joy he actually found a highest quality shiny stone. Now he didn't need to worry about togetic. This also explained why the arceus head of the statue had a glow. Austin didn't find anything else and the rest of arceus's body crumbled making a large sound. Just as he was about to go for a walk, he heard.

"What's going on?! Are we under attack again!" Lily yelled.

The group came out of the Pokemon center with panic look on their face. Austin saw that and began to laugh. The group relaxed at Austin's action as he is usually a serious person.

"No lily Latius just said goodbye and left. this statue also mysteriously shattered." Austin explained.

"We should pack up and leave quickly. It will take us some time to cross the forest and reach the cave previously rested in." Austin reminded.

The group began to pack as Austin prepared the meal. Everyone ate including all the Pokemon. Austin, tony, and Grey were pretty much almost out of commission. Their strongest fighters weren't in a situation where they can fight.

The group quickly crossed the forest. Austin had togetic and Noibat fight any wild encounter. Togetic proved to be a pinch hitter. Many of its attacks would cause a lethal blow to its opponents.

Noibat on their other hand managed to self learn dragon claw. It also improved its utilization of sound based attacks.

Austin and lily felt happy that they reached the camp site before the sun set. They prepared the tents, while tony and Grey made a delicious ursuring steak dinner. According to lily, Grey's side profession is a Pokemon chef.

Austin also seemed to have accepted that they have to feed on Pokemon meat. He wasn't going to give up steak.

The stars shown brightly as the crew slept safely in the cave.

The sun rose soon after chasing away the night.

Austin and company ate breakfast and quickly made their way towards the city-State of asadia.

"Finally the gate is in sight. I'm never going out again. I just want to shower and enjoy a nice warm cup of hot chocolate." Lily yelled as she began to run to the gate.

Austin just wanted to heal his Pokémon. If he knew about the corrupted (Corrupted Pokémon), he would have put wheels on his healing machine and brought it with him.

The group entered the gate. After signing their name they rushed to the Pokémon center via metro.

Once His Pokémon were healed, Austin headed to his home to rest. He bid lily and her body guards goodbye. This was a fun adventure for Austin. He decided to meet up with Muliere tomorrow and bid the people of Kaldia goodbye.

Austin made it home and suddenly something shocked him. He released his Pokemon but only Sylveon, Noibat, Togetic, and Combusken. For some reason Servine's pokeball was locked even after he registered it. Austin decided to rest for the day and think about other things tomorrow.
