Breaking The Shell
Before this begins, just a few things need to be mentioned/explained. First off, the parameters that will be displayed are not being limited and based too much on the game stats, such as how somehow a Purugly is somehow faster than damn Latios that is said to be capable of flying as fast as jets. I still don't get that...
Along with that, remember that I am human and am just as vulnerable as everyone else when it comes to making mistakes and rather dumb decisions. Anyway, enjoy the chapter!

'Come on... almost there!'
The young unborn Latios, also known as Virgil, was currently seemingly focused on what appeared to be a ball of dark pink concentrated energy within his mindscape as it had ethereal strands of pink energy radiating and swaying around it. His focus seemed to be changing the ball a bit as it repeatedly flashed over and over again.
It wasn't long before the ball actually seemed to begin warping into a vortex shape along with the colouration of the mass of energy shifting over to a light blue colouration. The mass of energy continued swirling within the black void as it seemed to also expand in size by a couple of centimetres before finally locking in place.
[Congratulations, User. Breakthrough into the 3rd Psychic Realm has been completed!]
'Yes! Took way too long...!' Virgil thought as he mentally sighed to himself. He couldn't really physically sigh at this moment as he was still unborn. He had been spending the time Realm Training as it was the best thing for him to do, and probably the only thing he COULD do during the time. 'System, how much longer?'
*Ding*
[User's incubation period has ended]
'Huh, what timing...'
The past eight months had gone by quite quickly as Virgil's focus was entirely on improving and getting breakthroughs within each of the realms, which were the Dragon and Psychic realms in his case. He found it much easier for him to rise in realms than compared to Dragon, though he was given an explanation by the System as to why.
Apparently, the reason why it was so much easier for him to get breakthroughs for the Psychic realms than the Dragon realm, which he had only broken through one realm so far, was because meditation requires immense work of the mind. So, not only did he crack the boundaries within the Psychic realm, but also trained his mind at the same time, thus making it easier for Psychic types to gain breakthroughs through using the Realm Training method.
Aside from training in those realms though, he had noticed something happening over the months whenever he would exit his mindscape from training. His body had begun developing as he could move his limbs quite a bit and he had begun developing his senses, which were of course his sense of smell, touch, sight and more.
[User will now be required to destroy the egg's outer shell]
'Gotcha.'
Virgil quickly exited his mindscape as he soon found his eyes opening to a pitch-black surrounding, which was the inside of the egg. If you look close enough, you'll be able to make out the walls of the inside of the eggshell. Virgil looked down at his white-clawed hands as he gripped them a few times, he then narrowed his eyes a bit before looking at the walls of the shell.
'Here goes nothing...!' He was still unsure about how physically strong he was since he was a baby, but he was sure that he could at least break through this shell. He began using his head as well as his small arms to try and chip away at the shell, which he actually found to be quite delicate as it was shattering quite easily.
Small holes were cracked open as he could see a form of light beginning to shine through, he had to close his eyes for a second, though he quickly began adjusting to the sudden light as he continued chipping away. It didn't seem that hatching worked the same way as it did in the games or the show as the shell didn't just somehow shatter completely into disappearing particles.
He grinned before headbutting the top of the shell as the top half came flying off, though he remained sitting within the bottom half of the shell.
'Freedom, let's go!' Virgil inwardly cheered. He knew for a fact that his vocal cords have yet to be developed to the point that manipulating them to speak was even possible, though he was capable of making small sounds that you would usually hear a Latios and Latias sounding. Though, quite lightly. 'Fresh air at last...'
Virgil quickly calmed down from his excitement as he took a deep breath of fresh air in, he had never felt so excited to breathe in air, it was almost like a rare treasure. His eyes were stinging a bit since they weren't entirely adjusted to the sunlight, so it was a bit hard to see, though he could make things out decently enough.
Looking around, he found himself welcomed to the sight of beautiful green forestry, though he didn't see any pokemon at all present within those trees or on the ground in front of him. He couldn't really care less about that at the moment though as he was enjoying the freedom and large amounts of room now for him to move his new inhuman body.

[Appearance: Latios]
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Though, he was surprised when he felt something grab him from beneath his arms on both sides.
"Look, dear! Aero has finally hatched!"
"I can see that, honey. Refrain from injuring him in your excitement." A mature and deep male voice was heard as Virgil, or Aero now, felt his body turned around by the pair of hands. When he was turned, he was now able to see the source of the two voices as he saw that they belonged to a pair of older pokemon. More specifically a Latias and Latios.
The Latias being the one that was holding him in her arms as she stared at him deeply in the eyes with a pair of sparkling eyes of excitement as the Latios was beside them and smiling down at him. The Latias had quickly then pressed himself into her as she hugged him tightly, though Aero was thankful it wasn't to the point he would suffocate.
He could easily tell that these were his parents, new parents.
The Latios was a darker shade of blue compared to the Latioses he had seen within the shows, games, and so forth. The Latios also being quite large in size, though that might just be because he was small since he was a baby right now. The Latias looked like any other Latias, and did seem to be smaller than the Latios by a decent bit.
He soon focused on both of them as he saw a bunch of information soon flood into his mind.

'Huh, Skyris and are Ouranos their names. So, my name is Aero now, huh? Not bad.' Aero nodded his head as he didn't mind such a name. It was usually known to mean flight, so it was a fitting name for him and his species. It would take a bit for him to get used to having a different name, but he was going to adjust, he was sure of that. It would just be weird to be called something else after being referred to as Virgil for his whole previous life.
Also, he was pretty sure his new father had the name of a Greek God if he remembered correctly.
Which honestly fitted. Just look at those stats!
It was quite apparent that his father was quite damn powerful as he was pretty sure that those stats were the stats that Latioses at the level of one hundred would usually have. Not only that, his new father's offensive stat parameters were insane! He was quite certain that the special attack that his new father has is above what his species was supposed to have...
He wasn't sure if his new father was born with incredible potential or if he had risen it over his life in some way to the point that only two stars were blank, though he could tell that the Latios had obviously trained ridiculously hard to gain the power he now had. This honestly motivated Aero to try and get stronger as fast as he could!
At least he now knew that stats from the games can take a leave since they probably aren't going to matter anymore...
'They both have Levitate as an ability still... does that really do anything anymore?' Aero wondered in confusion when he saw that part. Since they could fly, was there really any point to having the ability of Levitate? Wasn't it just useless in the real world of Pokemon now?
[Status Sheet has been updated]
'Oh, please do display it, System.' Aero tried to ignore the constant hugging that his new mother was giving him as he soon found the newly updated status sheet of his soon display within his mind. To say he was surprised by what he saw on it would be an understatement. He was already expecting a few things, but a certain few others struck him by surprise.
While he wasn't nearly as strong as his parents were, which was understandable, he was still impressed and also confused by what he was seeing.

'Woah, decent stats for a newborn like myself. Decent moveset to start off with as well. But, what the heck is Accel Celerity?' Aero couldn't help but wonder as he looked at the foreign move. He didn't remember ever hearing about a move that was called that before. 'System, what is up with that? What is up with this Accel Celerity move?'
[User, this is the real world now. User should expect anomalies and as well as new additions that may not have been introduced within media such as the games as well as the television show]
'I suppose so... guess I'll just have to adapt.'
Aero should have really expected this, though it did bring him a bit of concern. What has changed from the canons that he knew? Would his knowledge on Pokemon still be as reliable as he was hoping it to be during this life? Hopefully so.
'Also, System. What is this Turbine Astral ability. I know for a fact that there is no ability with such a name.'
[This ability seems to be completely unique to User. The ability allows the user to gain the electric typing as well as produce electricity for a short time period at the highest level possible for User at the current time. User will also be immune to electric-type attacks. This ability appears to only take effect when either User flies at a fast enough speed or when User is exposed enough to electricity for a prolonged time]
'I see, that's really useful.' Aero nodded mentally with approval upon hearing the description. He could think of two ways at the moment that this could be useful. One being if he were to be battling an electric-type Pokemon, and also if he ends up flying through thunderstorms. If he were to be struck by lightning, he wouldn't feel it due to being immune. He just needed to fly fast in the latter situation. 'How fast exactly do I need to go?'
[Ability should automatically activate upon flying at sixty or above percent of User's speed at that current time]
'Okay, I understand.'
"We should hurry and collect something for them to eat, Sky and Brisa should be getting back from my brother's place soon. I'll go pick them up on my way back." Ouranos stated. His sudden speaking got Aero's attention as he snapped out of his thoughts. "You stay here and keep an eye on Aero while I'm off."
"Don't worry, dear. Don't be gone too long."
His father nodded before tucking in his arms and blasting off at incredible speeds off into the distance, he wasn't able to see where his father was going since he was still held and couldn't see over the trees. His mother just waved Ouranos off before turning her attention back to Aero as she rubbed him on top of his head.
She was easily holding him in one hand due to his size, he was pretty much like any other Latios except really small.
"Aren't you excited, Aero? You're going to be meeting your older brother and sister soon!"
'A brother and sister, huh?'
