IC: Latias figures it out
*Latias sat on a rock next to a river, absently dipping her hands/paws in the water. Her thoughts were preoccupied with thoughts of her recent attempt to turn human. She could think of plenty of reasons why she couldn't do it; maybe she wasn't doing it right, maybe she wasn't concentrating hard enough, or maybe she just wasn't good enough. She wasn't one of a kind like them, as Arceus had told her there were whole flocks of others like her*
Maybe. . . maybe I'm just not like them. . . *and as she said it aloud, she knew that was the reason why. She just must not be a true legend like them, and so, just like other normal pokemon, she couldn't just wish herself human*
*And suddenly, all in a burst, it came to her. There was a way for her to make herself stronger and she had access to it on the island. She quickly shot into the sky, aimed herself towards the other side of the island and zoomed over, coming to a stop in front of an enormous tree*
Hey guys! Anybody home~? *she shouted this up at the branches and slowly, a whole pack of Sentrets popped up out of the foliage*
Latias! Latias is back! *they called this out to each other and scampered down the tree, crowding around her. One raised itself up on its tail and waved its little paws frantically to get her attention* D'you want to play tag again? Or hide and go seek? :D
Not today, guys, I actually need something from you! Remember that shiny thing I asked you all to hold on to for me? Can you bring it down, please?
The shiny? Sure, I'll bring it to you right away! *the Sentret suddenly took off up the tree and dissappeared into a hollow inside it. It reappeared gripping a bluish orb that it could only barely hold on to. Latias zoomed on up to it and took the orb out of its tiny paws*
Thanks for holding on to it for me! It's kinda hard for me to hold on to, but I think I need it now.
I found some string to go through the hole in it so you could wear it around your neck if you want to! *the Sentret hopped back up on to its tail excitedly*
Oooh, that would be great! *Sentret jumped down into the hollow and emerged with a length of cord. Latias carefully threaded it through the hole in the orb and Sentret jumped on to her back to tie it around her neck*
That's perfect! Thank you so much, I'll see you all again soon! *and she took off into the air, waving goodbye to all the Sentrets. She zoomed over to that same rock by the river, landed on it and examined the sphere around her neck*
*it was the Soul Dew that had come out of the portal rock Rayquaza had given her a few weeks ago. She knew it wasn't her Soul Dew, because hers didn't have that tiny hole in it. But all the same, when she held it, it had made her feel stronger, like she could do anything. If there was a way for her to become human, surely the power in the Soul Dew was the way to do it*
*She took a deep breath and visualized how she wanted to look. Then she clenched her eyes closed tight and wished as hard as she could. She started to shimmer a bit, and with a resounding crack the light engulfed her*
*when it faded, she now appeared completely human. Truthfully, the same effect could be made through clever light refraction, but Latias knew that without a doubt, she was truly human now. She looked down at herself happily and noted that the Soul Dew was fastened to the front of her shirt like a brooch. Randomly, she swayed her hips side to side like a hula dancer on speed, apparently delighted*
Swish, swish~ Haha, skirts are fun! :D
[ooc: Latias' human form is HERE: http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/1681/latiascolorhk8.png And if it wasn't clear, the Soul Dew Latias has came from the gameverse and is a hold item, while she herself is from the movieverse where the Soul Dew is a much bigger deal. Also, Latias cannot turn human without the Soul Dew, so from now on she'll probably be wearing it around her neck (see icon for reference). And also, mun ♥ Sentrets~ :3]
